A new fanmade DLC-sized expansion has been introduced to Fallout: New Vegas with a mod, taking players to the Backrooms. This mod, considered one of Obsidian Entertainment's finest games, offers players new quests, weapons, and voice-acted characters.
The modding scene in Fallout: New Vegas offers players a remarkable opportunity to showcase their creativity. Numerous expansions, comparable in size to actual DLCs, have been brought to life through the scene. This allows players to embark on new campaigns, featuring stories that transcend the boundaries of the Mojave wasteland, and wield powerful weapons with immense destructive capabilities. An exemplary mod worth mentioning is Fallout: Ashfall, which enhances the game's SPECIAL stats.
The latest game expansion, Out of Bounds, for Fallout: New Vegas, was created by an individual who drew inspiration from the Backrooms and its captivating story. This mod immerses players in the mystical Backrooms, where they must scavenge for resources to create weapons and combat numerous enigmatic entities. With the introduction of 17 new weapons, 6 exciting quests, 6 unique creatures, a new smelting mechanic, and 4 unexplored settlements, players are in for an enhanced gaming experience.
Developed by NKFC, Fallout New Vegas: Out of Bounds offers access to four distinct levels of the Backrooms: Level 0, Level 1, The Hub, and The Basement. In addition to these, players can explore captivating locations like Tom's Diner, MEG Base Alpha, and catch a glimpse of the remnants of a forgotten civilization in The Hub. Moreover, this mod boasts fully-voiced cutscenes and NPC dialogue, with over 40 new voice-acted characters delivering an impressive total of more than 800 lines of dialogue.
The modder also emphasized that, similar to the original version of the Backrooms story, once players enter, there is no escape. Furthermore, players will lose all their inventory upon entering this terrifying and desolate place. Consequently, players will need to hastily search for any available resources to combat the numerous entities lurking within the Backrooms. In addition, Fallout: New Vegas players have the opportunity to discover multiple settlements and undertake side missions in this enigmatic realm.
Fallout: New Vegas can currently be played on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.
