Made a crappy phPBB forum once ... once.
Not seen any other use. Yet.
Edit: seems from above there is something else so I’ll keep a look out too.

Maybe the dlc will add other uses. Looks like they already have one planned for release called Wicked Isle.
I’d totally be interested in some dlc to make the world even bigger

I can't believe the bad reviews. This is the best game I've played in a long time. 9/10 so far.
In the early hours, I ended up in places I wasn't supposed to be and got lost. Since I could access 4-5 major regions right from the start, I didn't know which lead to follow. But when I stuck to the first map and progressed, it turned into a more stable experience. Everyone loves open world games, but I prefer linear ones. It would've been better if there were at least some barriers preventing access to certain areas.
I'm at the 8th hour now. I've never encountered any bugs, and it's not janky at all. Looks great, plays smoothly. I have no idea how some people managed to finish this game in 8 hours though. I still have so many places to go. It looks like it'll take at least 20-30 hours. I fully upgraded the revolver, totally worth it just for the looks! Now let's see how it shoots!

It's one of those games where if you know what you are doing you can just A-line to the end. I think the current record speedrun is less than 45 minutes

Ask me about my wife's perfect butthole
Have you tried Fallout London?
Not to take away from Atomfall but if you want the next great Fallout game, London is what you should go for.
It’s really far beyond a mod it’s a game!

I didn't like Fallout 4, does London play more like Fallout 3?

Initial review after 6 hours.
Despite outdated engine, though kudos to devs for in-house tech, and a slew of glitches (mostly AI) Atomfall is surprisingly competent foray outside of Rebellion's own comfort zone.
The game feels really and unexpectedly good. Eploring is very engaging, the shooting is solid, wirting is great, art is cozy and atmosphere is very thick. What wowed me the most is how Atomfall immerses you in the world: there are no quest markers, limitations or handholding. You can slaughter the entire village of quest-related NPCs and still finish the game. There's no karma, agenda or even markers: you're literally free to play as you please. Narrative really respects your intelligence too, you are collecting a puzzle piece by piece from dialogues, random chatter, notes, even wall graffiti. It's been a while since I saw a game that really showers you with proper yet easy to pick up unintrusive narrative cues. And to my surprise it was helmed by Jonathan L. Howard, and he is a very good author. Now I really wanna see more of this British Rural Apocalypse with bigger budget and less jank.
Gameplay is... OK, I guess? Stealth is janky but broken enough to roll with it, shooting feels solid and melee is kinda fun and punchy. Most importantly you're not annoyed by shit like hunger, weapon wear and tear and othe cheap tricks to make the game slower and drag some gameplay hours.
There are few glaring issues though. Main of them being: Inventory. It is too comically small to be comfortable (and a huge fun breaker at late game) on any difficulty. Plus we really need more inventory bindings at least on PC. Crafting is primitive too, almost useless and kinda bulky for what it is. I also thnk that UI in general could've been way better and less gigantic, but this is Revellion's first 'big' game so those mistakes are understandable.
Nonetheless, I beg you to support Rebellion with actual purchasse if you love Fallout or first STALKER. I really think they are ounto something with Atomfall here. And now I really wanna see fully realised FPS/RPG by this team. Especially since Bethesda went full Starfield in recent years.

I can’t believe I’m discovering new stuff, but I discovered a new enemy type that’s much stronger than pretty much everything I’ve run into

Finished it today - well one of the endings. I might have to save scum it as I dont think I can play through from scratch 10 times.

I finished the game. Since I couldn’t decide which ending to choose and wanted to explore every area, I fulfilled all the characters' requests. I normally wouldn’t do this in other games—this was the first time I did something like this. It was fun to do.
If they make a sequel, I will definitely play it. They did a great job. 9/10.
In the end, I was torn between Dr. Holder and the phone, and I chose the phone. I had actually planned to escape with Holder, but I couldn't figure out how to poison Oberon , and at that point, I just wanted to finish the game. I think that ending might've been better, but I also liked my own ending. Finishing the game with the man on the phone, which felt like the other main character of the game, made it feel canon.

Just kick them then spam r2 with a melee weapon, over and over again. I know it's cheap but they're so bullet spongy and ammo is scarce so... I wish they could fight much better, or at least have a good melee weapon.

Beat the game, went with Mother Jago ending...
the game, however, disagrees apparently...I had the most janky bug ever. I beat the game with Mother Jago ending, got the Mother Jago achievement or whatever, then got the end cinematic as if I helped the guy on the phone. I just had to YouTube the correct cinematic after which isn't a huge deal.
outside of this retarded bug, the game was a blast. looking forward to the DLC. Mother Jago ending is as trippy as you'd think it would be. I didn't really trust anyone so I figured why not side with the lunatic. the lore is actually pretty interesting, especially how the game hints that
I beat the game with 15 unused skill points so don't feel the need to sit on them.
I'd rate it a solid 8.5/10

it isn't clear whether oberon is an alien or something artificial/designed

When you say cinematic didn’t the man on the phone talk about mother Jago?
When I did Garrow, it was still man on the phone but talking me through leaving with Garrow.
So am confused.

He was thanking me for listening to him and doing what he said...which I did not
he said I killed Oberon, whereas I did quite the opposite thing
he might always narrate it, but what he described was factually wrong. I chose a different ending/future for Oberon
