Summary
A cleverFallout 4player online has turned their Spectacle Island settlement into Vault City, as it appears inFallout 2. With creativity combined with a couple of mods along the way, thisFallout 4player has managed to recreate an iconic location from the series' history.
It’s cool to see players helpingFallout 4’s settlement-building system reach its full potential. Prior to the game’s launch almost a decade ago, it was a big selling point for the game, and it’s safe to say that it was worth the hype. Gamers are still finding creative ways to bringFallout 4settlements to life, which is only amplified when mods are thrown into the mix too. There was even aFallout 4player who builtFortnite’s Battle Busin the game using the settlements, showing how other franchises can often inspire these creations.
Redditor Whole_Commercial_833 shared an extensive gallery of screenshots from their build, which recreatesFallout 2’s Vault City inFallout 4using the settlement builder. It even includes the first area of Vault 8, which is fully explorable. The settlement chosen for this is Spectacle Island, as it has arguably the biggest open space for these types of creations. AlthoughFallout 2is anisometric RPG, this particular area of the game translates extremely well, especially when populated with NPCs to make it feel more alive. According to Whole_Commercial_833, they plan to also recreateFallout 2’s version of Shady Sands next, although it isn’t finished yet.
Fallout 2’s Vault City Recreated in Fallout 4
Interestingly, this settlement uses several differentFallout 4modsto achieve its effects. In response to questions about the Vault City settlement, the poster shared that numerous building mods were used, including the popular Homemaker, Capital Wasteland Workshop, and Lima Objects. Make no mistake - this build is no less impressive due to this. These mods simply provide more tools for the player to work with, which they have used to perfection here.
It remains to be seen how long it will take for a new mainlineFalloutgame to be released. The wait seems set to extend for a while yet, despiteBethesda claiming it wants to release games at a quicker rateearlier this year. Bethesda is currently busy working on the long-awaitedElder Scrolls 6, and any work on a potentialFallout 5seems unlikely until that game is finished. It will be interesting to see if Bethesda hands out the IP to another developer in the meantime, much like withFallout: New Vegas, in the name of keeping the games relevant as the TV adaptation continues to see success.
