And So We Begin
Shadows of the Old World: Unveiling the Hidden Depths of the Commonwealth
We're excited to share the concept behind our upcoming mod, Fallout 4: Shadows of the Old World. This expansive project, with two Acts and a sequel already in the planning stages, aims to explore the untold stories lurking beneath the surface of the Commonwealth.
The Great Game Unveiled
At the heart of our mod lies a new faction involved in "The Great Game," a complex web of corporate powers manipulating both the pre and post-apocalyptic world. We delve deep into the machinations of this particular faction of shadowy entities and their profound impact on the Commonwealth's most vulnerable inhabitants: the Project Aeon ghouls.
Project Aeon: The Birth of a New Faction
Project Aeon emerged from a clandestine collaboration between pre-war corporations, all seeking the ultimate prize: extended life. What began as a volunteer program quickly spiraled into something far more sinister. In a twist of fate, the project's initiators abandoned their creation, believing their test subjects lost to the ravages of war.
But Project Aeon survived, and from its ashes rose The Directorate—a faction born of betrayal and driven by a relentless desire to outlast all other players of The Great Game.
The Underground: A Haven in the Shadows
Players will first uncover a hidden world beneath The Slog, where Project Aeon ghouls and their human allies have established an Underground headquarters. This secret society is determined not only to survive but to protect the Commonwealth from the far-reaching tentacles of the Directorate.
Your Journey Begins
The adventure kicks off with "Strange Request," drawing players into a mysterious underground network through a cryptic message. As you delve deeper, you'll unravel tales of survival, betrayal, and corporate conspiracy that have shaped the wasteland.
Key features of the mod include:
A rich, branching narrative that spans multiple acts
Exploration of three unique Underground locations
Encounters with remnants of pre-war corporate giants
Moral choices that will shape the fate of the Commonwealth
New companions, including the mysterious ghoul, Gloria
Collaborative quests with familiar faces like Hancock
Enjoy rich side-quests with voiced characters and unique plot twists
A Glimpse of What's to Come
As players progress through Act 1 and into Act 2, they'll:
Uncover long-buried secrets of The Directorate
Meet a diverse cast of characters, each with their own stories and motivations
Explore secret facilities and hidden corners of the Commonwealth
Face increasingly difficult moral dilemmas
Prepare for a climactic end to Act 2 that will require bold, game-changing decisions
We're thrilled to bring this new dimension to the Fallout universe, offering players a chance to explore the hidden depths of the Wasteland's history and shape its future. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue development on Fallout 4: Shadows of the Old World!
