Roadmap - pcesarperez/Modding-never-changes GitHub Wiki

It wouldn’t be right to say that there has never been a roadmap for this guide. There has been one, but only in my head.

I don’t remember when I took the decision to write a modding guide for my beloved Fallout 3. I just remember I started writing, but even back then, I have a concise idea about what I wanted to tell. Of course, things have changed during the writing, and one of the things that changed was, in fact, the formalization of the book. With a real roadmap.

Bear in mind that, up to a certain point, this roadmap has been created in hindsight. Knowing that, here it is.

Milestone 1 (done)

List of candidate mods to install. No real book yet.
