Lore friendly for me would mean something that would exist in the time or style of fallout. How about you? What do you consider as lore-friendly, and what is game breaking (out of place) for you? So why wouldn't I use a gun which was made after the '50s or '60s? Fallout also has laser/plasma weapons, aliens (with alien technology), power armors, and such. The Fallout universe has that unique '50s vibe, that's true, but don't forget, it's still very futuristic! The Great War started in 2077, that's way over our time, maybe (probably) they had even more modern weapons than we have right now. I don't feel like it's breaking the game's world at all. Personally, I have no problem with them, I use quite a few myself. On the other hand, many people love these kind of mods, just take a look at Fallout videos on YouTube. In Fallout games, most people freak out over mods adding modern, hi-tech military weapons and/or armor.
I started this topic because, I think 'lore-frienliness' is one of the main reasons a person will, or will not download, use, and like a mod.īut what is lore-friendly and what is not? I guess it's all a matter of personal judgement.
