Summary
Among the many brand-new factions created for theFallout 4mod,Fallout: London, is one in particular that should offer players a very interesting story to unfold. They are the 5th Column, a group seeking to upset the current establishment led by the Gentry. Each faction has its reason for wanting a change in government for the post-apocalyptic city of London, and it will most likely be on players to determine which group is in the right. As inFalloutgames of the mainline series, including the base game forFallout 4, the power should be in the hands of the player to sway the future of this conflict.
Fallout: Londonis still in active development, but progress seems to be moving along very well. The independent team of developers is working on a volunteer basis, in their spare time. Truly a work of passion,Fallout: Londonis easily one of the most impressive andambitious mods forFallout 4. The team shares regular videos on the official website of the game and occasionally showcases concept art and other media. With a unique lore, game design, enemies, and more,Fallout: Londonshould be an experience worth checking out.
Fallout: London’s Cult-Like Faction
The 5th Column, Explained
The 5th Column has an unquestioned loyalty to their leader, Eve Varney. Holding dear to the memory of their founder, Eve leads the 5th Column toward an uprising in London. The 5th Column is an almost cult-like faction that is as dangerous as they are mysterious, in the same way that manyfactions in theFalloutuniverseare. They will fight for their vision to become a reality, no matter who it hurts or what it destroys.
Radicals in every sense of the word, The 5th Column sees the only solution for a better tomorrow is to burn down the currently established society and build a new one from the ashes. Of course, the new society built by the 5th Column will be in the image of their leader, Eve. In some ways, the 5th Column seems to favor the idea of the war that broughtthe apocalypse in theFalloutlore. As they see no other way to create change than to destroy without mercy.
Fallout: London’s Faction War
Many of the factions inFallout: Londonhave vastly opposing views that will no doubt incite conflict among them. The greatest enemies of the 5th Column are the current monarchs, the Gentry. The 5th Column despise the way the Gentry rule and believe they could do much better. The 5th Column gathers its strength by appealing tothe citizens ofFallout, trying to incite outrage against the high and mighty royal flare that the Gentry possesses.
The 5th Column is described as initiating a populist movement against the Gentry. Bythe time ofFallout: London, this movement is gaining some solid ground among the lower order of the city. The members of the 5th Column are distinguished by all-black outfits, occasionally donning masks or other uniforms, though it seems other citizens who follow them may not always be dressed the same. Their nearly religious following and belief in a new world order make them a faction to be wary of, claiming to brutally crush any who stand in the 5th Column’s way. AsFallout: London’s most extremist group, players should take care when dealing with them when this mod is made playable.
