This video showcases mods used to give Fallout 4 a darker, alternative atmosphere. Mixing inspirations from the Metro series and Tarkov, as well as Fallout 3. This setup is a work in progress still but I've been having fun with it. All footage is captured on Hard difficulty with a level 43 stealth character. Enjoy the video!
