A Fallout 4 Mod By culinwino
It's no secret that there have been strange happenings in the Commonwealth recently. Random kidnappings, assassination attempts, and other horrible deeds are being committed by a mysterious AI threat. And you've just become his next target. While not much is known about this AI or why he's performing these deeds, one thing is for sure - he is building an army.
In James' Ruin, you and your allies will embark on an unforgettable journey that will take you to a number of new locations both inside and outside the Commonwealth. You and your allies will travel by land, air, and sea to reach your ultimate destination: Willoughby Island. It is there where you will discover the truth behind the mystery of Project Dolly, a mysterious cloning program.
This mod adds...
- 11 new quests
- 5 new companions
- A large cast of characters, both new and old, with over 1200 lines of voiced dialogue
- A number of small exterior worldspaces to explore, including a graveyard, a dam, and an island!
- Several unique boss fights that push the limits of Fallout 4
- At least two aliens
Getting Started:
- When the mod is loaded, you will receive a message that will point you toward Douglass Caverns, located east of Recon Bunker Theta.
- James' Ruin features a number of intense combat sequences and challenging boss fights that may prove too difficult for lower-level characters. In addition, after a certain point, you will not be able to return to the Commonwealth until you have completed the mod, which could result in weaker characters getting "trapped" in new areas.
- Recommended Level: 25+
Requirements:
- Base Fallout 4 Game
- It is strongly recommended, but NOT REQUIRED to have played most/all of my previous Fallout 4 quest mods before playing this mod, as this mod builds upon the story of all of my previous mods.
- Recommended Play Order: James' Journey > The Whitman Family Fallout Shelter > Outlaws of the Commonwealth > Cade and Kelan - A Tale of Two Twins > Saxon's Cobras > James' Ruin
- If you want to jump right in, you will find character profiles and a summary of the story up to this point on a holotape you receive upon loading the mod.
