I was expecting it to drop at midnight. Actually, to be honest: I expected it to drop a couple of days from now, because it’s been a surreal few days around here and I forgot that today was Monday. The days just blur together when the kids aren’t in school and you’re no longer following the news…
Anyway, the Vault-Tec DLC is up! Gonna download it, finish my posts for the night, then fire that sucker up.
It’s going to be on July 2[6]th. I am… mildly anticipating it, I suppose?

There are a couple of places on the map where it’d be useful to have a settlement, particularly if you’re playing Survival Mode which I have no intention of doing any time soon. I find that waiting to buy combat damage upgrades is giving me all the workout that I need, really… Continue reading First look at Fallout: Vault-Tec Workshop on Tuesday.
