Fallout is a series known for its deep lore and unique post-apocalyptic environment, with each game building upon the last to create a vast world filled with dangerous creatures, intriguing characters, and complex stories. Fallout 2, released in 1998, was an immediate successor to the original game, taking place in the same world but with an evolved storyline and game mechanics. Fallout 3, on the other hand, made its debut in 2008, and significantly changed the series by introducing a 3D environment and a more modern gaming experience. These mod projects pay tribute to the history of the Fallout series and harness the more powerful graphics and gameplay mechanics of Fallout 4 to revisit and revitalize the classic adventures that many gamers hold dear.
