But as an effective horror experience and a quality dungeon, The Lost Vault is worth exploring.Ĭheck out our favourite Fallout 4 mods for more ways to expand Bethesda's epic. There are a few chests containing a selection of randomly-generated loot, but I would have liked a special weapon or something else relating to the story of the Vault as a memento, and as a reward for getting through it. The Vault ends with a boss fight that, while difficult, does at least give you a break from the onslaught of ghouls. Spiffyskytrooper has constructed the Vault with the same design philosophy as Bethesda, staying true to the style of the game, and that makes it stand out from the crowd.
But I love The Lost Vault because it succeeds in blending in with the rest of Fallout 4. It will apply all sorts of post-processing effects that will affect and overhaul everything, from anti-aliasing, depth of field, lighting and much much more. Mods for Bethesda games often take things to extremes, such is the temptation of such a powerful suite of editing tools. As with Skyrim, ENB’s will have the most dramatic impact on Fallout graphics and the look of the game. But overall The Lost Vault is a very well-made mod, and if you told me it was a part of the main game, I’d have probably believed you. The Vault’s size can work against it, too, with a lot of empty rooms that would have benefited from some additional decoration or loot to scavenge. Some enemy variety would have been welcome.
The Vault is crawling with ghouls, which I have to admit gets tedious at times.
