This realism mod for Fallout 4 makes the introduction impossible to survive

It’s widely accepted that we wouldn’t be alive if a nuclear explosion went overhead (unless you’re Indiana Jones and you stumble upon a surprisingly sturdy refrigerator. Yeah, I didn’t buy that one either).

Somehow, however, at the start of Fallout 4, the pair manage to survive the game’s opening nuclear explosion and remain unscathed by the heatwave that would have hit them (not to mention those looking directly at the explosion were likely blinded would be). at least).

While Fallout 4’s introduction is certainly impressive, it’s not exactly known for its realism. Well, that is, until now. Thanks to modders, we can now launch a new game of Fallout 4… and not survive the launch.

This mod is called “More Realistic Intro” mod and it’s just plain fun. It comes over from UnrealSeptim NexusMods (about PC gamer), and it certainly made me smile on this cold, dark Friday morning.

Here is a small snapshot of the mod’s description:

“Are we really supposed to believe that our character happened to make it into the vault at exactly the same time the bomb fell? And are we also supposed to believe that just a few feet underground would keep our character perfectly safe from the resulting blast? No, nuclear bombs don’t work that way.

“As such, this mod removes the most unrealistic aspect of the game’s intro sequence: the player character’s ability to survive it. Now the nuke will detonate no matter how hard you try long before you make it to the vault, killing you instantly. ”

Would you like to see how your game develops with this mod in action? Just watch the video below.

UnrealSeptim suggests “for best results”, those who already know should “send this mod to”. [their] friends without telling them what it does”.

In the words of UnrealSpetim, “Voice chat and/or live stream of their gameplay is recommended for best experience in this case”.

Let’s just hope if you decide to do it it doesn’t cause a Fail between you and your friends.
