Right, just a couple more location overhauls and there we go. A fresh Skyrim load order created for my first modded toe-dip into Tamriel for quite a while, outside of grabbing the odd article image. Phew, now to relax and sink another 50 hou-wait. Fallout 4 and Skyrim updates are inbound, say Bethesda? Well, that would be my luck, wouldn't it?

Today, July 15th, unionised Microsoft workers are set to hold a series of co-ordinated rallies outside the offices of Xbox-owned studios, in protest of the mass layoffs the company set in motion last week. According to the Communications Workers of America union (CWA), over 400 union-represented jobs across Bethesda Game Studios, ZeniMax, and id Software are being cut. In solidarity with the union marches, modders continue to fill Bethesda games with union logos. Skyrimwas the first and Fallout 4's the latest.

It had to happen. After getting the original Fallout and Morrowind running as a holotape on Fallout 4's Pip-Boy and terminals, the same modder has now made Skyrim playable within the game about a frozen snack finding their son and being nagged about settlements. I can only assume Fallout 4 becoming playable in Fallout 4 is mere days away.

With their latest Fallout modathon having wrapped up at the close of last year, mod-hosting site Nexus Mods have decided to try something new with their latest event designed to supercharge mod creation around a specific game or theme. Rather than asking folks to submit fresh individual mods like usual, the modathon that's about to kick off is all about putting together chunky multi-mod lists which can overhaul a game in one fell swoop.
These user-assembled modlists, dubbed Collections, are a feature Nexus Mods have been pushing for a number of years now, so it's not surprising they're now serving as the subject of a modathon for the first time.

There's something electric about New Orleans. I first fell in love with the city when I was watching The Vampire Diaries' spinoff show The Originals (I can hear the judgement from here). In many ways, it feels like its own world, oozing style to the sound of smooth jazz; a place where anything is possible. We've seen that mysticism explored in shows like American Horror Story: Coven and videogames like the recent South of Midnight. Ex-Bethesda artist Nathan Purkeypile, who worked on Fallout 3 and 4 before becoming lead artist on 76, feels that same allure and wants to see the RPG series head to the Deep South.

I've thought about Fallout 4 in a lot of different ways since first playing it ten years ago. On its release, I thought it was the weakest Fallout game, lacking the roleplaying depth of its forebears. But a recent replay helped me see its strengths as a survivalist shooter.

The Varmint Rifle
By Neeher, presented by Bethesda Game Studios
In this free creation, the surface is filled with secrets and surprises. In the sewer you'll find the "Varmint Rifle" is no different. Fall down a manhole, discover a unique rifle, and solve an elaborate set of puzzles. But you're not the first to get lost in these ruins, nor are you the only thing trapped down here. To find this dungeon, head west from Cambridge Polymer Labs, along the river, and look for a raider trying to access a manhole cover. Enter that manhole to explore and uncover a well stocked camp and unique mod for your new rifle before making your escape. There is no quest associated with this dungeon, but an enterprising and keen-eyed adventurer can use the visual cues left by those who came before to help guide you through and uncover all of the secrets of this sinister sewer.

Miss Weldy: Robot and Con-Artist Companion
By: Unoctium
Miss Weldy is an Automatron-compatible companion with over 2000 lines. Rarely, if ever seen on land, Miss Weldys are General Atomics Utility Robots meant for primary use on Oil Rigs and large tanker ships. So it's only a surprise when you encounter her trying to sell you a power armor to you, while it's owner's back is literally turned. Miss Weldy is a companion which encourages immoral, if not despicable behaviours. Doing so, will no doubt lead to a very profitable, if infamous partnership as you travel through the Commonwealth together - that is, if she doesn't sell you to the Gunners, behind your back. Miss Weldy can be found at Walden Pond. Learn more here.
