The Peculiar Addiction to Dog Food
One of the newest quirks players are encountering in Fallout: London is a strange addiction to dog food. This unexpected affliction has left the community perplexed, as there is currently no official explanation for why dog food has become addictive in the game. Without any concrete answers, one dedicated modder took it upon themselves to address this peculiar issue.
The Dog Food Addiction Remover Mod
Enter the “Dog Food Addiction Remover,” a mod created by modder Avislone and added earlier this week. Avislone expressed their surprise upon discovering their character’s addiction to dog food. “I was rather surprised when I looked down to find myself addicted to dog food, of all things, and when I asked around, there was only some speculation on the Discord as to why it was made addictive in the first place,” Avislone noted.
The mod effectively reduces the chance of addiction from dog food to zero, making it impossible for players to suffer from this condition. Avislone mentioned that while the mod might not align perfectly with lore, it was well-received by the community who were eager to eliminate this bizarre addiction.
The Lore Behind Dog Food Addiction
A quick visit to Team Folon’s Discord reveals that the effects of dog food addiction are more significant than mere curiosity. Despite multiple players’ efforts, no one can definitively determine whether this addiction was meant to be a lore-driven choice or just an amusing anomaly. Speculation includes talk about the Prilladog dog food factory, which harbors a dark secret. Venturing into the factory is optional, but those who do may uncover that the dog food’s secret ingredient is, unsettlingly, human flesh. Such a revelation adds a macabre twist to the seemingly benign addiction, aligning it with the game’s broader themes of survival and moral ambiguity.
Why Remove the Addiction?
Though the dog food addiction isn’t a significant gameplay hinderance—it merely costs a few action points—players like Avislone have argued that it detracts from the immersive experience. In the larger Fallout universe, cannibalism usually comes with severe repercussions, from moral dilemmas to physical transformations. The absence of such consequences in Fallout: London makes the addiction seem out-of-place.
Given the surprising nature of this addiction and its minimal impact, it’s understandable why a mod to remove it was swiftly created and appreciated by the community. For those who prefer their survival challenges without inexplicable dog food dependencies, Avislone’s mod provides a welcomed solution.
