I'm massively impressed. This is a total conversion of FO4. It feels like a professionally done game to me.
Every Detail has been changed to reflect the London setting. Art and Architecture are fantastic. Voice acting is top notch, and it's just a metric tonne of content. Everything is different. The pipboy is now a portable computer like a cross between a tablet and a walkman.
This is not settlement/radiant quest based like FO4. It's more like conventional hand crafted questing in FO3/NV.
Just so much new content and all new fallout adventures, with a British twist.
I'm about 20 hours in at level 11 (I'm slow and I took a perk that reduces XP), so some thoughts:
It's not perfect. Initial launch was rough with a lot of crashing, but Patch 1 was out yesterday, and I haven't had a single crash since applying it. The patch fixed a lot of stuff, and I expect they will keep fixing it (unlike Bethesda). But I think it's as playable, if not more playable than a new Bethesda game at this point.
There are still lots of complaints but a lot seem self inflicted from installation mistakes. It's more difficult for Steam User since they need to roll back to an older install before the recent Bethesda "upgrade". Since it's a total conversion, I think a clean install is the way to go. I didn't really have any issue with installation. I'm only on GoG which makes it simpler.
It's much harder than standard FO4. Ammunition is very sparse initially, guns are not quite as powerful by my reckoning. Melee builds might have an easier time, but I don't like melee in Fallout. Even at level 10, I was repeatedly murdered by a pack of radshrews on "Easy" difficulty Yesterday.
