About this mod

This mod adds 252 loading screens into your rotation, without replacing any. Each screen is a breakdown of a faction within the Fallout universe! We tried to cover as many factions from the Pre-War eras and the wasteland as we could!

Permissions and credits
Disclaimer: If you want the loading screens to have nothing but glowing praise for favorite little faction, go fill a cup of your own tears. Each screen is critical upon the faction and gives you the real info on a faction. No sugar-coating here. The first five images show how different various Brotherhood chapters are. Some good. Some gad. How so? Read to find out.

The Idea


When you play a long game of New Vegas, especially when modded, you're going to see the same few dozen loading screens over and over and over again. It gets really old, really quickly. A lot of the loading tips at the top of the screen are based on the idea that maybe you want to have some fun facts about Fallout thrown your way, while you wait for the game to load. We thought, hey, what if we leaned into that? What if loading screens weren't just all about pretty pictures but had considerably more information for you to read and digest while you wait? What if the information was based heavily in the lore of the Fallout series? So we did that and made an old mod called Faction Fun Fact Loading Screens. But compromises were made. It was outdated. So we reconstructed the whole thing from scratch and made this mod instead.

The Installation

It's a plugin with textures. Install it like you would with any other mod in your Data folder or with a mod manager. There shouldn't be any compatibility concerns. We did the layout so it will work with the vanilla loading screen UI, as well as Vanilla UI Plus. You'll notice there's empty spots where the loading wheel and the loading tips will be present.

The Specifics

Factions from across the Fallout series are included. There's factions from Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics, Fallout Brotherhood of Steel, Fallout Van Buren, Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, Fallout 4, and Fallout 76. Even factions from the Fallout comics are included, which allowed us to include every official Vault in existence, not counting modded ones of course. There's even an entire section on Pre-War America, as well. However, we did not put every tiny little town or village, particularly if they didn't have much of a cohesive identity. Naturally this means there well may be spoilers for your character in-game. Devising a system of avoiding this wasn't something we were able to do. But we don't pre-suppose any of the Courier's decisions, as well as other heroes to lesser extents. All of the info is in the past tense, so imagine it is a database in the far future, like a vision or info-dump while you wait to load. Also please keep in mind that the info in the text is constrained by limited space. We tried to give an adequate summary of each faction without pulling any punches, though interpretation necessarily was involved.

The Factions

Here are a complete list of factions this mod covers. Also included are bits of text for the history of Fallout as loading tips.
