Sure thing — let’s dive into this chaotic whirlpool. Brace yourself!

So, being into Fallout nowadays is like… what’s the term? A rollercoaster? Yeah, one minute you’re pumped with Fallout 76 doing its thing, and the next, you’re bummed there’s no new single-player game since Fallout 4. And that’s like, ancient history by now, right? We’ll probably be old and gray by the time Fallout 5 gets here. Bethesda’s caught up with The Elder Scrolls 6 first, so buckle up for a wait.
But hey, it’s not all gloomy. The Fallout community? Absolutely bananas, in the best way. They’re crafting epic mod projects like Fallout London. Just heard about another one, thanks to a viral trailer that hit the web last weekend. Mind-blown might be an understatement because Fallout: Bakersfield looks like mod magic.
So, what’s the scoop? This is Fallout meets DOOM in a mod crossover called Fallout: Bakersfield. Sounds wild, right? They’ve taken the OG Fallout CRPG and mashed it into an old-school DOOM-style shooter. Play the trailer—it tells the story better than my rambling ever will. Go on, I’ll wait.
Anyway, Bakersfield, man. Brings back memories, doesn’t it? Also known as Necropolis, the “City of the Dead” from Fallout 1. You’re a Vault 13 dweller there, hanging out with those ghouls. Harry the super mutant pops up too, so you’re probably stepping into the shoes of Fallout 1’s protagonist or maybe Talius, the scout. Who even knows for sure?
This mod’s stuck in my head. It’s a fusion, like Fallout RPG mechanics with classic DOOM shooter vibes. The UI nods to both games—especially those rad Fallout-style log messages. Throwback, anyone?
Graphics-wise, think Fallout 1’s retro-futurism meets DOOM’s 2.5D feels. Combat? Classic weapons abound, tackling ghouls with things like 10mm SMGs and Plasma Pistols. Plus, some environmental destruction and dialogue options. Not just all trigger-happy here!
The animation style is all about that old-school shooter charm, you know? Limited frames but oozing character. Sound effects steal the show too, pulled straight from Fallout. Stuck with me, no idea why.
Really, this mod is a hell of a ride. If you love Fallout or DOOM, or just cool mods in general, this one’s for the books. Oh, when’s it dropping? Patience, it’s still a mystery. Developers say it’s 60% finished, though. The Berezin duo behind it—Alexander and Denis—pour their hearts into it. They’re not after your cash, they’ve disabled monetization even. Hats off to them for that.
I’m chipping in a few bucks because why not support creativity? Mods like these push boundaries and, honestly, feel like a breath of fresh air compared to some big studio releases. Fingers crossed, it keeps rolling and ends up amazing.
