Fallout 4’s post-Nuka World Apocalypse.

As in: once Nuka World drops, Bethesda’s not doing any more Fallout 4 DLC. Tell you the truth; that’s fairly reasonable.  We got one full adventure expansion and an adventure/crafting hybrid; and we also got two full crafting expansions and presumably another one some time this month.  Add one more full adventure expansion and that’s a decent amount of DLC support, there.  Although I am finally understanding enough of the lore now to wonder where this area’s remnants of the Enclave are.

  1. It’s killin’ me not knowing what their next 2 projects are, but knowing that neither is an Elder Scrolls nor a Fallout!

  2. Far Harbor was great. The other DLC… I have trouble paying for something that I think should have been included with the base settlement stuff (I am primarily talking about exterior lighting. The other stuff is ok as it is kind of ancillary flavor stuff.)

    The comparison that keeps going through my head though is New Vegas. With Vegas you had 4 story dlc. And they were all pretty good. They also had other flavor and item dlc.

    If they are going to take a long break from Fallout, I can understand them waiting to leave fans wanting more. On the other hand, it seems like there are so many missed opportunities in the Commonwealth that were never explored.

  3. Also, as far as the Enclave goes, IIRC they are primarily in the Chicago area, after their bases were destroyed in the Southwest. Given the losses suffered in FO3, I can understand them not putting out too many feelers, especially given the Brotherhood’s relative strength on the East Coast, at least up to the beginning of FO4.

    The Brotherhood is another area that bothers me about FO3 & FO4. This is probably a discussion for another time, but I actually liked what they did with the Brotherhood in FO3, which they seemed to reverse again in FO4. I can understand it since there is already a technological faction which is altruistic in the FO universe, but it just seemed… spotty.

  4. Reasonable it may be, I have to say I’m disappointed about the lack of story-expanding DLC. Maybe I was spoiled by Fallout 3 and New Vegas, but I really was expecting more than just 2 1/2, especially when the price of the Season Pass almost doubled. (I know I’m glad I only paid the original price.)
    .
    I can only hope that this means Obsidian will get another shot at making a Fallout game soon, and that this time their contract and the critics won’t conspire to screw them out of their bonus.
