Just finished it, male Sole Survivor, pre-finding Shaun (there are different story branches depending on SS's gender and story progression). Damn I was impressed!

Honestly, that feels like the best official DLC for Fallout 4 (in terms of plot at least), a fantastic piece of general Fallout lore, and a great story overall. Won't be spoiling it, just a few points:

- It provides a great insight on the process of FEV mutation affecting the victim's mind, shown from the first person perspective. Now you can see what sort of imaginary friends did Lily or God and Dog have. And it's REALLY well done.

- It has a lot of lore on pre-War US, and it's really thoughtful. Too often it deteriorates into outright satire in Fallout, but here, it makes a lot of sense and shows US was a deeply flawed state, but not a dystopian caricature - hey, they even had super mutant resocialization tests.

- There are vibes of classic DLCs like Point Lookout, Old World Blues and Dead Money, as well as nods to some fan theories - including the good time in the park, and Nate in US military propaganda.

- The gameplay is smooth but linear, there are some great scripted scenes, some nice puzzles, and one really annoying puzzle. The end boss is rather well done. Sadly, there is very little memorable loot - like one new modular armor, one new plasma rifle, and some misc stuff. No workshop items or such.

- Nate's and Nora's VOs return, and there is far more voiced content, like comments on most situations outside dialogue.

- Private Gutsy is awesome.

It's on the Creation Club, it's official, it's canon and it's free. It feels like an awesome gift for Fallout 4's 11th anniversary, surprised Bethesda didn't advertise it much!

IMPORTANT: don't start it with a character who has too many items on them (like, hundreds). Removing them in the beginning will make the game freeze.

This was such a good story, I can’t believe it was free. It dives into some prewar lore, and I personally think the armor set you get from it is really cool. Towards the end it had my emotions going, and one scene in particular I actually started tearing up not even exaggerating. So awesome they brought the ova’s back for this. This DLC feels like such a good conclusion to fallout 4’s run. If anyone has yet to play it please don’t hesitate, but you may need to have some tissues on standby. Absolutely Stellar.

Edit: just a heads up to whoever reads this, at least on Xbox there is a glitch where once you officially start the quest all your inventory items get stripped and you’re told you’ll get them back, you however don’t get them back. I now have to reload a save from before I started the quest and do it all over again but dump my inventory somewhere first. Still an amazing experience, but that is a major glitch so be warned.

I'm mainly asking cause I like Strong.

Currently playing my first full Survival Run and I am preparing to take down the Institute.

After hundreds of hours in this game, I finally found out the Plasma Gun can be changed into a Flamer lmao??? Super cool. Wished there was more stuff like this in the other weapons.

Fish and chips anyone?

Taking one last look and wanted to share the mancave I made in my first save and spent way too much time on before starting a new game (yes I found every single one of those Nuka Cola Quantum’s in the wild and placed each one individually by dropping them from my inventory one by one, holding the A button on them to pick them up, and rotate them and place them on those shelves in a perfect line). Was it worth it? Absolutely

The creation is Command Override, I recommend it.

What a hypocrite.

Never wanted to hold down the trigger more than now

And lost about 40 minutes in a funny way

Other teams went missing so I'm heading in

Honestly feel like i never should, just because why not. Preston can't tell me a settlement needs help unless i do, sanctuary is so quiet atm

I wanted to build a home for me and my husband Hancock so cleared out Croup Manor. I swear I have tried everything to get these dead ghouls to not respawn (I am on PS5 so not console commands for me) and they just keep respawning. All the others I have sort of been able to hide with well placed walls and furniture but this one? He just dangles there getting his ass beat. Also I know I could remove ceiling fan and that would get rid of the spanking machine but I would still be left dangling ghoul legs in my dining room so the ceiling fan remains for a sense of flavor.

I was not expecting that! 😆 But I should have!

How many of you are willing to let the game go for hours while away from controls to let Paladin Danse clean up at arcjet and then walk while overencombered for 45 minutes real time to get laser pistols and energy cells to sell for the equipment you want? I want the black ops and destroyers speed boost shin guards
