Of course we're looking at a 'next-gen' game now, meaning the rules may have changed. There's a clear trend here: multiple massive add-ons and one or two small add-ons like Automatron and Wasteland Workshop. In Fallout: New Vegas, we saw four entirely new areas, and one pack similar in size and value to Fallout 4's Wasteland Workshop. It also included two smaller add-ons, giving players extra missions in the base game area, much like Automatron.

In Fallout 3, Mothership Zeta, Point Lookout, and The Pitt offered entirely new areas - similar to Fallout 4's Far Harbor. Luckily enough, a fellow GameSkinny-ist has provided examples for the Fallout games in a recent article. Bringing the player to an alternative environment filled with new weapons, crazy enemies, and heart-stopping quests is the true staple of Bethesda DLC.īy going through previously released add-ons, we can estimate just how much content - and the size of each piece of content - we'll be getting with Fallout 4. Wasteland Workshop suits a niche hobby in Fallout 4, giving settlement fans more items to use and places to build in - this expansion's worth is debatable.įar Harbor, on the other hand, could host endless possibilities, making it the subject we'll be focusing on in this article. Now that you're all caught up, let's take a closer look at what we've been offered for Fallout DLC this year so far.Īutomatron will likely include a few new questlines, some new random enemies to encounter, and the obvious addition of a new robotic companion easily worth $9.99.

Far Harbor ($24.99 USD) - 'Featuring the largest landmass for any Fallout add-on yet,' head off the coast of Maine to investigate the mysterious island of Far Harbor, dealing with synths and the Children of Atom all the while.

Wasteland Workshop ($4.99 USD) - Capture wasteland creatures and raiders, tame them, or battle them to the death.

Defeat them and use their parts to build a new robotic companion.

Automatron ($9.99 USD) - The 'Mechanist' has unleashed a horde of evil robots in the Commonwealth.
