I just got back into Fallout 4 this week and am having a great time with it (Overseer's Guardian FTW). However, I am looking for some new things to do in the game. I've never bought or played any of the DLC but I really want some new quests/content to experience.

To anyone that has played any of it, is the DLC worth it? I know only three of the expansions are legitimate, full on expansions (Automatron, Nuka-World, and Far Harbor).

It looks like the season pass is still $49.99 on the PlayStation Store, which is a little ridiculous if you ask me.

The dlc isn't as good as previous games offerings.

There is no broken steel or old world blues in this lineup.

Far harbor is the best of the mix. Nuka world is mediocre. Automatron is light on content and is a hybrid of story content and gay minecraft content. The others aren't worth your time unless you really like settlement building.

Haven't played Nuka World in my latest playthrough but I think it's worth it. I could be biased though because Fallout is one of my favorites. Far Harbor is a cool new location and from the looks of Nuka World, that probably is too. The 49.99 does look steep but it's worth it compared to when they used to make you buy individually for like 15 a piece.

I got the entire game plus all three dlcs for less than that. They go on sale sometimes.

Far Harbor is great. Nuka World is pretty good but it kind of forces you to be evil. If you're playing a good character or care about building up your settlements, this will change all of that. Mechanist is fairly short but it gives you the ability to build robots and do robot mods so that's kind of cool.

Do you think just buying Far Harbor as a stand alone for $25 is worth it? That seems a little steep but so does $50 for the whole lot.

I agree with this. Nuka World was great from a world design standpoint, but I didn't like the storyline it forced me down.

This seemed to be the major issue people, myself included, had with Fallout 4. As great a game as it is, it didn't give enough moral choices as previous fallouts. Choices in others had consequences. 4 seemed like it wanted you to choose a certain path.

Yes, I put about 60 hours into fallout 4 and did not beat it. I just came to a stop and never went back to it but that was my biggest complaint...everything seemed linear. I honestly think playing new vegas over again is a better move.

I got all 4 endings to the main game and they are all the same. They didn't even get Ron Perlman to do the narration.

Agreed. The great thing about Fallout games is how morally ambiguous your character can be. Fallout 4 took a lot of that away. It's a great game (especially modded), but the story line did nothing for me.

That's great news general, but another settlement needs your help.

Using conversation options, you could A. Agree to something X. Sarcastically agree to something Y. Ask one question about something B. Say no (but you have to do this quest to progress things so it's not really a no).

What are the best mods now, and I assume you get them from Nexus?

My beef with 4 was every faction treated everyone else like dicks.

Railroad wanted me to ditch the minutemen. Really the only faction interested in helping the most folks was the minutemen but they weren't really a main quest faction.

By the end, I wanted to kill everyone because they were dicks and sit on the iron throne in my minutemen compound.

It was still my favorite fallout to date because I really enjoyed the settlement building but only after I added a few mods.

The game with the DLC was on sale in the PlayStation store for 24.99 three weeks ago.
