Other mods are all about roleplaying, like Another Life which casts the player not as the canonical “sole survivor,” but instead as one of 36 other possible starting positions, like Courier, Doctor, Mercenary, or Lawyer.īut it isn’t only the mods that transform Seow’s game. Some inject major changes into the game’s content or mechanics, like True Storms (which adds intense weather effects and environmental hazards) or War of the Commonwealth (which dramatically increases the amount of NPC activity in post-apocalyptic Massachusetts).

The most obvious difference is that I played at launch and Seow is playing three years later with the support of mods. But Seow establishes trade routes and builds self-sustaining communities. Sure, I tinkered a bit with the game’s open world settlement system, making basketball courts and the occasional farm. Seow’s Fallout 4 places him as a nobody caught up in a factional conflict bigger than he can ever really overcome. My experience with the game cast me as the wasteland’s chosen hero in his fight for android equality.
