About this mod
A brief, poetic exploration/story mod by the author of "Honest Hearts Reborn" set in a beautiful new worldspace. Explore a forest that has burst into new life, find the so-called God who is responsible for it, and the slavers and mutants who threaten it.

"This is beautiful" - AlChestBreach
"It felt like something fantastical, like I was in a dream...The level design and the colors evoke a strange sense of wonder and beauty... This mod feels very philosophical." - Petard
In Penn's Woods, they say, the God of the Forest is bringing the world back to life. But the Sole Survivor isn't the first to go looking for him... an exploration/story mod by the author of "Honest Hearts Reborn", Penn's Woods explores the complexity of a world that was once dead, and what it takes to find rebirth.
What you need:
Fallout 4 Base Game
WHAT'S IN IT:
HOW TO START: GO TO THE SCIENCE CENTER IN DIAMOND CITY AND TALK TO "DOC MENDEL".
A note from the author: I am not interested in any more comments to the effect of "I didn't like this story. Not much happened." Please do not message me something pithy about how the project "had promise" but "should have a big add-on". This is the mod I wanted to make. I know it has flaws and have tried to fix a few of them with updates. Some of them are simply a part of it.
My first mod, Honest Hearts Reborn, was a passion project that emerged from my love of the Honest Hearts characters and my desire to give them a full story. I spent hundreds of hours on creating NPCs, conversations, quests, and some scripted encounters. With Penn's Woods, I challenged myself to make a mod within 2 weeks with a small worldspace and a limited number of NPCs. It ended up taking me about 4 weeks of work, spread over a period of a few months. It was a small experiment, and I have put it on the nexus simply because I hope that some people can enjoy it.
On a thematic level, I wanted to tell a story that fit the beauty and mystery of the Fallout universe and the Fallout 4 engine, particularly one that explored the effects of a single human life. The God of the Forest is at the center of that for me, and so it's a story that doesn't have a lot of violence, and in which the player does more observing than making extremely important decisions. Given more time I might have added more player choices and a few more fights, but I do not currently have time. Also, I am happy with what I made.
Thanks,
James
