Fallout Zero takes place immediately after the Great War, is well worth checking out

You’ll no doubt remember thatFallout 4kicks off in 2077, giving players the chance to experience the fateful day the first nuclear bombs dropped and turned the world into a wasteland. InFallout 4we end up waking up some 200 years later, around the same time as most Fallout games are set. It’s rare, then, that we ever really get to see the immediate aftermath of the Great War.

Take a look at the incredibleFallout: London,another stunning mod,below:

This makes enough sense for the most part.One of the most interesting thingsabout Fallout is seeing the factions, regions, and communities that have formed over centuries of nuclear misery. But we do often wonder what happenedduring those first few years, in the wake of those first bombs.

EnterFallout Zero, a total conversion mod forFallout 3that tells an entirely new story set just two months after The Great War. Hardcore Fallout fans will almost certainly have heard of this one - it’s widely regarded as a classic mod - but I wanted to highlight just how impressive it is for any newcomers looking for a different experience.

The NexusMods descriptionsummarises the adventure: “Our hero and his/her father have been living in the basement of their bombarded house for the past two months, since the Great War broke out.

Much like the original Fallout games,Fallout Zerotakes the focus away fromshooty bang bang action and places emphasis on exploration and creative puzzle solving. Choices you make can and will impact the ending, and there are new features like a hunger management system and a metro car you can actually drive.
