Former speaker of the House Of Commons, John Bercow, has joined the Fallout: London cast, as fans who own Fallout 4 via Epic Games Store are told they can’t play the mod.
Despite being delayed because of Bethesda’s next gen update, fan project Fallout: London is nearing launch once again. Although there is no official release date yet, it’s expected to arrive in the next couple of weeks.
Even so, there’s been more bad news, with those that bought parent game Fallout 4 from the Epic Games Store being told they won’t be able to play the mod, for technical reasons.
In terms of good, or at least unexpected, news if you’re a fan of the former Speaker Of The House, John Bercow, it’s been announced that he will play a robot parody of himself in the mod, that constantly shouts ‘Order!’
Fallout: London project lead Dean Carter confirmed on Discord that Bercow will join the vast cast of voice actors on Discord, where he said:
‘Little amusing update. Imagine being Fallout: London and feeling so lucky having all the talented voice actors on the team. But then boosting it further with the fact that we have two Doctor Who actors as VAs [voice actors]… then Neil Newbon messages us and also wants a role.
‘But the cherry on the top? Who better to represent our mods version of the Speaker of the House, than a robot version. Voice by John Bercow himself.’
The post also comes with an audio file, where we can hear Bercow say ‘order’ in a number of different ways, just like you would hear him when he tried to control discussions in the House Of Commons.
Bercow became known for his loud roars for order and wearing colourful ties, which sparked many memes on the internet.
The former speaker joins a cast of over 100 voice actors in Fallout: London, including Neil Newbon, who played Astarion in Baldur’s Gate 3; as well as the sixth and seventh doctors from Doctor Who, namely Sylvester McCoy and Colin Baker.
Fallout London won’t be playable on Epic Games store copies
Not everyone can play Fallout London at launch, however, as GOG, the PC distributor of the mod, has said that those who have bought Fallout 4 via the Epic Games store won’t be able to run the mod, according to VG247.
The reason for this is because the aforementioned next gen update from Bethesda needs to be downgraded from Fallout 4 before being able to play the London mod.
The Epic Games storefront doesn’t support update rollbacks, but fans who own the game through Steam, will be able to play Fallout: London. However, there’s currently no expectation that the mod will be playable on consoles.
GOG also confirmed that Fallout: London is still being tested by them, before it can be released to the public.
