Fallout 4 DLCs are finally here! And in good timing too.

Most people who have played Fallout 4 religiously, have finished the story, all the quests, or maybe even multiple times. It’s a breathe of fresh air when the news of these DLCs came out a couple weeks ago. But the wait is nearly over! March is finally here and we receive our first DLC. Automatron!

Automatron is about the Mechanist, a return character from Fallout 3, and him releasing an army of robots that he controls. He, of course, has bad intentions for the Commonwealth. There isn’t too much information out on these DLCs and its good they don’t spoil us for these add-ons. But the information out there right now is that we will be facing off against evil robots around the Commonwealth and we will be able to make our own robots and possibly use them as companions. This would be so amazing to first of all have a robot companion that isn’t a  Synth, but also to give them abilities and mix and match parts.  This will be coming out sometime this March.

The Next DLC coming out after that will be the Wasteland Workshop.

This DLC isn’t story based necessarily but is a good add-on for those players who like to build up their settlements. New pieces, new options, and new things to build. One of the biggest additions for the workshops will be a bull fighting like ring where you, or your settlers can face off against tamed wildlife. This means deathclaws, mirelurks, and even raiders you can capture. As for what you can produce is more structures and neon lights that allow a possibility of editing text. This is a good deal for those who want to run their settlements a different way and want something new to add to those settlements as they grow.

The Final DLC in this bunch will be Far Harbor.

This is said to be Bethesda’s biggest add-on ever! It involves a case from Valentine’s Detective Agency that leads you to set sail from Maine to Far Harbor. This is incredible because Fallout 4 takes place in eastern Massachusetts, so how will they manage adding Maine into the story? My thoughts are most likely they will just make it a fast travel spot so that they wouldn’t have to add eastern New Hampshire, and force you to make the journey up north. But another exciting bit is that this “Far Harbor” is based on Bar Harbor and is, like Boston, realistic in it’s recreation.

These DLCs range from $5-$25 dollars and there may be more after this, but for now, these three big add-ons will keep the Fallout Community busy.
