Fallout 4: Before the Bomb
Project Overview
Before the Bombs is a story-driven mod for Fallout 4 that reimagines and expands the pre-war section of the game. It takes place in the final weeks before the bombs fall — not as a passive cinematic, but as a living, playable neighborhood.
The player will experience life just before the Great War: real errands, actual conversations with friends and family, tension in the streets, patrols struggling with failing equipment, and growing whispers of something deeply wrong.
The tone is grounded and eerie, blending 1950s suburbia with Cold War paranoia. You’ll speak with neighbors, work on the backyard, maybe argue over dinner... all while the world creeps closer to collapse.
We’re aiming for a rich, authentic performance style — like something you'd find in a Fallout main questline. All dialogue will feature multiple player response options, including sarcastic, sincere, and humorous tones.
🎧 Voice Acting NeedsWe're currently casting the following roles:
Nate – Engineer, veteran, loving husband. Witty, warm, but uneasy.
Nora – Lawyer, wife, sharp-minded, caring. Can be player or NPC depending on setup.
Power Armor Sergeant – Gruff, overworked, loyal but suspicious.
Soldiers (Grunts) – Frustrated, young, some cracking under stress.
All roles will include dialogue trees, ambient lines, and optional branching based on player choices. More roles to come.
🎯 What We’re Looking ForClean audio (no background noise, good mic quality)
Ability to deliver grounded, natural performances
Strong timing and emotional range
Willingness to collaborate for retakes or adjustments
Respect for Fallout's tone: snappy, stylized, but not cartoony

This junk’s older than my dad. Why are we even using T-45s anymore?
Wait, is that guy... actually fixing it? Who is that?
Huh. Look at that. Guess old dogs really do know a few tricks.
Looking for a writer (New or experienced) to help flesh out the questline, how to improve it, and potentially writing dialogue and new characters.
