Here’s a fun fact: at the end of this year,Fallout 4will officially turn ten years old. Okay, maybe that’s not such a fun fact. Time is a terrifying concept, as we all know. But at least there are mods to distract us from the inevitable.
In this case, it seems that someone had the thought: “Hey, why shouldn’t the Tyrants fromResident Evilget to play in the Commonwealth?” And lo, they did createReign of the Tyrants, a mod forFallout 4that does just that.
It kind of makes sense, when you think about it. I mean, much of theFalloutuniverse is built on the idea of a post-apocalyptic society that’s awash with radiation a-plenty. Given the mutated state ofRE‘s most brutish antagonists, it stands to reason that they should fit quite nicely into the Lone Survivor’s merry jaunts across destroyed Boston.
Now with more Evil
According to its creator, gutrings, the mod simply adds a “wide variety” of Tyrants from theResident Evilseries as enemies. There are also new weapons and chems thrown in there for good measure. Oh, they also recommend only playing this if your character is level 30 or above. I guess they kept the tyrannical nature of these beasts when they added them in.
So far, there are four variants, totaling more than 50 spawns across the Commonwealth, as well as in the DLCFar Harbor. We can see from the images that we get Mr. X from the remakes ofRE2andRE3, as well as Nemesis, arguably the series’ most notable (and hideous) Tyrant.
There’s more to come as well, it seems. Going forward, gutrings intends to add the following toReign of Tyrants:
The question mark in that last one is intriguing.
Anyway, I was wondering why no one had done something like this before.Fallout 4(well, the franchise on the whole) does feature zombified enemies, somethingResident Evilis fairly well known for. Plus, the aforementioned mutated state of the Tyrants suggests this is one mod that’s been a long time coming. Although, it doesn’t seem to be the first time someone else hasthought to add them in.
