It’s been two weeks since Fallout: London arrived, for free, and earlier than expected.

What part of Fallout: London was "earlier than expected?"
- Given that it was put on hold indefinitely after the next-gen update, I suppose any time is earlier than no time.
- I guess if you never expected it to actually release?
Very cool. I still haven't gotten to play it, but I've heard good things. Hope they find success with their newly founded studio!
- I don't have a PC so I can't play. But im still looking forward to watching it on youtube.
  
  Curious, not trying to be snarky. Why don't you have a PC?
I jumped through a lot of hoops and got it installed on Linux. I'm sure I'll have lots of trouble with patches too.
- Right there with you brother. That was not a fun experience.
  
  I don't have this problem because I have Windows snort
  
  What was your Problem? I installed it yesterday on my Deck fairly easy
  
  First issue was the downgrade failing to run because it claimed I was missing an ssh library. Then I found a work around that involved grabbing the uncompiled source and running the script from there, but that failed to connect to steam. I finally downgraded using a manual method that took forever, but it worked. Once I finally got it all running, I hit the infamous crash after the train ride bug.
- I haven’t even been able to get it work using Nexus mods with my Steam version. I’m getting the intro screen/menu, but it never actually loads a new game after that. I’ll just wait a few months/years til I remember about it and try again.
I'm still having trouble with long loading times
- There's mods to fix that. I went from 3-4 minutes loading to ~30 sec.

  Ah, they really captured the full Bethesda experience!
  
  I keep reading that mod will ruin your textures over several hours
would like to play but don't want to buy all the dlcs it requires. weird requirement..
- Any game as old as FO4 is going to have huge mods (and probably most small mods) that require all the DLC.
  
  That's how it's been since expansions and mods have both been things. Literally "welcome to PC gaming".
  
  Expansions/DLCs will usually have game fixes inherently included.
  
  Even if they don't actually "use" the DLCs, it makes sense to require the same content that the developer owns and used to test the mod.
- Not really. Most large story DLCs for any Bethesda game require all expansions. I suspect it's for assets, but I would also just pick the largest use case (and already owning the expansions most certainly is the largest use case) and say it's a requirement also, so I'm not chasing down edge cases for people all day. Just the rough math of releasing something you have to support afterwards.
- The anniversary edition has all the dlcs (and I think it's the only edition you can buy)
  
  Only $14 on Fanatical right now too. Totally worth it
