Summary
Players have discovered an entire quest inFallout: Londonthat seemingly references the long-running British sci-fi TV seriesDoctor Who. The ambitiousFallout 4mod boasts around 200 quests, 20 factions, and 15 boroughs built from the ground up, according to its development team.
Fallout: Londonis a massive total conversion mod forFallout 4that lets players explore a post-apocalyptic version of the United Kingdom’s historic capital. After its launch was delayed in April, Team FOLON, the independent group behind the project,quietly releasedFallout: Londonon July 25, and some gamers have quickly made an interesting discovery during their adventures.
Fallout: Londonplayers have found that interacting with the old-fashioned police boxes scattered across the mod’s world starts the Unusual Call Box side quest that is likely aDoctor WhoEaster egg. The blue telephone booths resemble the iconic TARDIS (Time and Relative Dimension in Space) time machine featured in the series. Unusual Call Box, which also appeared in the originalFalloutas a special encounter, requires players to find 15 of these police boxes, most likely referencing the15 numbered Doctors in theDoctor Whoseries. After completing this quest, players can intercept a decoded message on their Atta-Boy, theFallout: Londonversion of the Pip-Boy.
Supposed Fallout: London Doctor Who Easter Egg
Further painting Team FOLON as a group ofDoctor Whofans is the fact that the group got actors Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy, who portrayed the Sixth and Seventh Doctors, respectively, to voice the two mad scientists that appeared at the start ofFallout: London. In addition to new content like weapons and collectibles, the mod also features original voice acting for all major characters, gangs, and factions. All in all,Fallout: Londonshould provide players with around 90 hours’ worth of gameplay, according to the dev team.
Instructions on how to installFallout: Londonare included on the mod’s GOG page. The mod can also be played using the Steam build ofFallout 4: Game of the Year Edition, but the installation process is a little more complicated. Unfortunately, the mod will not run on the Epic Games Store version ofFallout 4.
Xbox and PlayStation users will also be unable to try out Team FOLON’s mod, as the group has previously gone on record to say thatFallout: Londonwill not come to consoles. Dean Carter, Team FOLON’s lead project manager, explained in a past interview thatFallout: Londonwould be far too large to be supported on these systems.
