Utterly Mad

Well I enjoyed the base game, with about 120 hours in so far. Aside from a few things I thoroughly enjoy it, but I'm definitely going to wait to buy the dlcs.

I remember that. I remember one for oblivion as well, but that one made everyone look like naked default imperials and really didnt work well.

Quick Automaton DLC thoughts:

The DLC is basically a "build a companion/settler" DLC, you have a ton of options when it comes to making the little or huge guys. You can basically make bots that one-hit Deathclaws on survival difficulty, you can turn Curie (non-synth) and Codsworth into newer versions of themselves making them Sentry or Assaultrons. And you get some new weapons that fit the whole "robot thing".

I played on my other file that has 2 days on it and not my HUDless one, and let me tell you building at least one bot ate up a ton of resources, computer parts, aluminum, adhesive, etc... they are an investment but a worthwhile one and they're going to be a godsend for my hardcore survival playthrough I'm doing for the channel.

As for the price tag of $10 bucks I'd have to ask what you're looking for, if you're looking for a side-quest to do then don't pick this up, I haven't really even started the side-quest mind you and I heard the story that it has is very unique and great and offers alternate endings other than "KILL BADGUY", but the main meat of the DLC is the robot building. If you want to play engineer and breed a race of super bots to live in your settlements you can now, that's what people are already doing besides turning Curie into a sex bot or making Fisto 2.0 along with building Bender to kill all humans.

But the amount of customization that comes with robot building is kinda what I wanted with weapon and armor crafting, you really do get to select each and every part, change each and every piece of armor. I'd say it's a good small expansion if you're looking for something that burns up resources, or if you want to become like Dr. Mobius and breed an advanced race of deadly robots to hold off the faggots of Big MT The Institute... also your robots won't betray you, or hate you, or critique you... not like people do.

Also ADA the companion that comes with the game encourages you to pick up stuff off of dead bodies and random junk.

Before I get asked, yes I will be buying all the DLC as it hits so I can get my thoughts out to you guys on whether or not you should buy it. The Workshop and Far Harbor expansions will be coming out right as school ends so I'll hopefully have some kind of job to bitch about in the commentaries.

Honestly, from a business viewpoint, Bethesda are fucking genius, they produce games that generate AAA revenue but the production cost is barely a fraction of other AAA titles because they skip the quality control and bug testing, knowing the community will do it for them.

Business wise it's a brilliant tactic but it makes them a shiťty company which should only survive by having an amazing PR team, but yet again they've outsourced their PR team to the fans themselves who zealously defend Bethesda at every opportunity, for free.

Pretty much. Fallout 4 kinda killed my faith in Bethesda, it is the only game of theirs so far that I have found completely dull in every way. Skyrim was a mess, and removed a lot of shit that I wish it hadn't, but it at least had some great quests and an amazing world that was a joy to explore. Fallout 4 is universally tedious, simplistic, and boring the entire way through. I get why people have fun with it, it still has a lot if the Bethesda charm, but I can't stick with it, as I do not like the base building. However, what really pisses me off is the dlc. Sure, Oblivion and Skyrim had some obnoxious DLC, in the form of Hearthfire and all of the houses but the wizard tower in oblivion, but they were never essential. Fallout 4 had a dlc out in monthes that includes a feature that, with the timeframe they slammed it out, could have just been in at launch, and it looks like the tidal wave of dlc isn't going to stop any time soon. Not that I really care, I have just stopped playing the game, and I refuse to buy any dlc, because the game doesn't have anything to keep me playing. I ran out of vaguely interesting quests, Bethesda haven't been able to write a good plot since Morrowind, and the world just isn't as fun to poke around in.

This changes shit.
 Might be fun to fuck around with the kit and mods.
