BBC is covering a mod for Fallout
They looked at the credited people attached and then hired them.He did say in an earlier video he had no contact with Bethesda, but apparently Bethesda hired 1 or 2 or the writers from Fallout London, so how does that work then.

Without talking to the team at all and the whole team would know about it, and also which writers wrote what bits without Bethesda asking.They looked at the credited people attached and then hired them.
To be fair, Bethesda hired individual devs from a mod team scattered through entire world. Not only they may not been even involved with Fallout 4 update, but they may also have NDA's preventing them from saying anything about things being worked onHe did say in an earlier video he had no contact with Bethesda, but apparently Bethesda hired 1 or 2 or the writers from Fallout London, so how does that work then.
Fair enough, but Bethesda wouldn't hire anyone without knowing their writing ability and which people are doing the writing, so have BGS seen the mod or played it, and the bloke still said they have had no contact with Bethesda!. agree about the NDA bit.To be fair, Bethesda hired individual devs from a mod team scattered through entire world.

Maybe it's because the mod takes place in LONDON and BBC is a UK company?BBC is covering a mod for Fallout
i thought they would cover wars and politics and stuff , videogames are more mainstream now i guess.Maybe it's because the mod takes place in LONDON and BBC is a UK company?
Wild idea I know
PC only as of nowwill London be playable on either of the new consoles?

They most likely sent only a small slice of what they worked on as a sample to show their work. I feel there is a difference of seeing a doc with a script for a quest than actually playing an entire thing. We also don't know if their audition didn't required writing something specifically for recruitment process. Or even if they were approached or if they did applied by their own. I'm not trying to debunk it or anything, but I've been on their Discord server for a while and devs repeated multiple times they didn't had contact with anyone from Bethesda. Furthermore, no one even replied to them about request to possibly release standalone version on Steam like Enderal and Nehrim. If they would be in contact, they would most likely not talk about it at allFair enough, but Bethesda wouldn't hire anyone without knowing their writing ability and which people are doing the writing, so have BGS seen the mod or played it, and the bloke still said they have had no contact with Bethesda!. agree about the NDA bit.

Well, this depends from a point of view as it's kinda a big deal in terms of production value. This mod has a landscape larger than Fallout 4 and Far Harbor combined, it's basically like what New Vegas was for Fallout 3. And they have Sylvester McCoy and Colin Baker in the voice cast. These two played 6th and 7th Doctors in Doctor Who, so I do think this can be considered as some big news for BBC. I believe they also have actor who played Astarion on BG3 in the cast as well, which is pretty damn impressive considering this is entirely non-profit projectI'm not sure why this modding team think that Bethesda are timing the release of the Fallout update to screw their fan project (an admittedly impressive looking one).
I'm even more baffled as to why the BBC are reporting on this, but the production value suggests this isn't exactly headline news.
Well we will probably never know, but even the release date of the update was a bit of a coincidence as well, so basically Bethesda are ignoring them is what your saying and acting like its just random, and hiring some of them, yeah sounds like Bethesda lolThey most likely sent only a small slice of what they worked on as a sample to show their work.

Just a bad timing. Bethesda was aiming for release close to TV series, and I believe London's release date was set specifically to April 23th because it's a national holiday in UK (St George's Day). The in-game story of this mod apparently also starts on St George's DayWell we will probably never know, but even the release date of the update was a bit of a coincidence as well, so basically Bethesda are ignoring them is what your saying and acting like its just random, and hiring some of them, yeah sounds like Bethesda lol
You just said Bethesda didn't reply to requests to release a standalone version and did hire some of the London team so it's a little more than just bad timing, after all the TV show has boosted sales of the Fallout games, the Fallout London mod is free, Bethesda isn't getting any money from the modJust a bad timing.

I was more talking about release windows being similar, not the communication. London team decided release it on national holiday in UK when they moved their release from December, Amazon decided to launch their series in early April and Bethesda decided to release their next-gen patch two weeks after Fallout TV seriesYou just said Bethesda didn't reply to requests to release a standalone version and did hire some of the London team so it's a little more than just bad timing, after all the TV show has boosted sales of the Fallout games, the F L mod is free, Bethesda isn't getting any money from the mod
Yeah you got it right corporate bullshit, and if your a long time fan of Bethesda from Oblivion onwards or earlier, you know they changed when GTA Online went supernova and they tried to MP all their SP games and have been doing CB ever since, so i already own and play their older SP games and I'll wait for the mod to be released, but I don't believe a word Bethesda says anymore lol.I was more talking about release windows being similar, not the communication.

Lack of communication sucks, but it's not like Bethesda and Amazon has any obligation to help London's team, same as they don't have any obligation to keep up with Bethesda's release schedule (excluding all of the legal stuff tied to the mod making like not profiting from it, not using assets from past games, etc) as most likely they don't even know what they're planning as their knowledge is on the same level as ours. It sucks, but it is what it is
Standalone release probably needs to have green light from both Bethesda and Microsoft, so I guess there is entire corporate bullshit that would need to happen first either way. Enderal and Nehrim happened when company had different people in charge and was an independent company, so that chain of command and people who makes decisions is probably much broader nowadays
I didn't realise they'd gone as far as getting known actors on there, that's really good.Well, this depends from a point of view as it's kinda a big deal in terms of production value.

They trying to branch out as no one is paying for a TV licence anymorei thought they would cover wars and politics and stuff , videogames are more mainstream now i guess.
TBH what is there to cover that will make people less depressed?i thought they would cover wars and politics and stuff , videogames are more mainstream now i guess.
Maybe it's because the mod takes place in LONDON and BBC is a UK company?
Yeah, I don’t get it. What do these “devs” want us to do? Feel bad that they weren’t informed?And why would they?
What are Bethesda supposed to do? email the entire planet just in case somebody is making a mod their update might break?
This is very cynical but also the truth, sadly.Yeah, I don’t get it. What do these “devs” want us to do? Feel bad that they weren’t informed?
They chose to waste a decade of there lives making a mod for a game they own absolutely no rights to and knowing that if Bethesda makes changes/updates that it can break there entire mod….and we’re supposed to do what??
Imagine if they just took all this wasted time creating a completely original game and ideas of thier own, imagine that.
They spoke to them and not him.He did say in an earlier video he had no contact with Bethesda, but apparently Bethesda hired 1 or 2 or the writers from Fallout London, so how does that work then.
No, they did, TKs-Mantis patch update video 15,30 onwards,They spoke to them and not him.
This is the level of their headlines now… so….i thought they would cover wars and politics and stuff , videogames are more mainstream now i guess.
What's the point of playing a mod for a post apocaliptic London when you can experience that right now by taking a trip to the UK.
Idk shit about the UK or London but this did make me LOLWhat's the point of playing a mod for a post apocaliptic London when you can experience that right now by taking a trip to the UK.
