Summary
Fallout: London is a fan-made game which takes Black Isle Studios and Bethesda’s iconic RPG series tothe dreary British Isles,specifically the English capital. And it wouldn’t be Britain withoutDoctor Who, eh?
As many fans quickly discovered, there’s an entire collectable side quest focused on an “Unusual Call Box” you find in the city. Itcouldbe that it’s just a ’50s police box, which wereeverywhereback then, but the devs are Whovians! It’s clearly aTARDIS—Time and Relative Dimensions in Southwark.
There’s evenBad Wolf graffitireferencing the overarching mystery of New Who’s first season.
You have to find all 15 of these scattered across the Big Smoke to decode a special message intercepted by your Atta-Boy, Fallout: London’s version of the Pip-Boy. As if it wasn’t obvious that it was a Doctor Who reference, there’s a Tardis for each numbered Doctor.
Fallout: London Even Opens With The Sixth And Seventh Doctors Bickering
Before you’re even let loose in London, the opening has you watch Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy, AKA the Sixth and Seventh Doctors (who are still performing to this day in Big Finish), bickering as they inspect you while you’re trapped in a gooey pod.
Fallout: Londonopenswith The Doctor himself, twice! They aren’t wearing a technicolour rainbow suit or a tank top covered in question marks, but I’d recognise those voices anywhere.
Now all we need to do is find Mysterious Scientists 1 and 2 and bring them to the 15 Unusual Call Boxes and get them to open their fob watches and voila, we’ll have our Doctors back in action.
