Finally, Bethesda has announced what it’s up to with DLC for Fallout 4.
You can go here if you want:
If you’d prefer to skip the age gate (no idea why they do that), I have copied some things:
—————————————–
Automatron
Price: $9.99 USD | £7.99 GBP | $16.95 AUD
Release: March 2016
The mysterious Mechanist has unleashed a horde of evil robots into the Commonwealth, including the devious Robobrain. Hunt them down and harvest their parts to build and mod your own custom robot companions. Choose from hundreds of mods; mixing limbs, armor, abilities, and weapons like the all-new lightning chain gun. Even customize their paint schemes and choose their voices!
Wasteland Workshop
Price: $4.99 USD | £3.99 GBP | $7.95 AUD
Release: April 2016
With the Wasteland Workshop, design and set cages to capture live creatures – from raiders to Deathclaws! Tame them or have them face off in battle, even against your fellow settlers. The Wasteland Workshop also includes a suite of new design options for your settlements like nixie tube lighting, letter kits, taxidermy and more!
Far Harbor
Price: $24.99 USD | £19.99 GBP | $39.95 AUD
Release: May 2016
A new case from Valentine’s Detective Agency leads you on a search for a young woman and a secret colony of synths. Travel off the coast of Maine to the mysterious island of Far Harbor, where higher levels of radiation have created a more feral world. Navigate through the growing conflict between the synths, the Children of Atom, and the local townspeople. Will you work towards bringing peace to Far Harbor, and at what cost? Far Harbor features the largest landmass for an add-on that we’ve ever created, filled with new faction quests, settlements, lethal creatures and dungeons. Become more powerful with new, higher-level armor and weapons. The choices are all yours.

Also, they’re planning more DLC later, including some free items. Be warned that they’re raising the price of the Season Pass from $29.99 to $49.99 as of March 1.
I’m not sure what to make of all this. I certainly welcome robots because robots are the best enemies ever in any game. I loved every robot in Borderlands 2.
Everybody loves the Children of Atom. They’re such an interesting faction because they chant meaningful religious things all day and use radiation weapons, which don’t work against at least half the enemies in the Commonwealth.
I can’t get enough of the Institute. If I could live in an alternate universe, I would pick the Institute hands-down because they’re also so very interesting.
Well, I guess I’d better hurry or I’ll miss out on my $20 discount.
I am completely underwhelmed by all of these. The robot thing might be interesting.
Gladatorial combat should already have existed in the Combat Zone. Making your settlers fight deathclaws? What kind of sick fuck would do that? Seems to break canon at least.
I heard that they’re going to create a huge new landmass in the game representing Maine. Well I guess that’s easy to do if all you populate it with are stupid fucking fetch and kill quests. 😛
DLC is just stupid. Just make an expansion and be done with it. STOP nickle and dimeing me, I’m not paying $4.99 for some stupid novelty thing they left out of the game at release.
Just release an expansion with some content worthy of a $29.99 price tag and I would buy it. Its not that hard of a concept.
But . . . but . . . they’re going to add more optimization features (I think this means fixes) for free! In an era when other developers charge you for fixing their broken games . . . oh wait, they don’t do that. Well, this is still super uber exciting.
They say they intend to change Survival mode to something more FO-traditional, meaning you’ll need to eat and drink and do other things. Wasn’t Brite wanting this? Muppet should be happy since he likes to drag his ass around with broken guns, missing limbs, hemorrhaging eyeballs, etc.
ooh, ooh, where do they say they’ll make you eat and drink? I wannit!
Still, no personalized settlers. Bummer.
Also, I could not go past the age date because of your silly Amrican date format. Why the hell you have the month first? What’s the logic behind that?
I meant “age gate”. I can’t edit my comments, can I.
I did enjoy the Survival Mode in F:NV because it added to the roleplay experience. In FO4, there IS NO ROLEPLAY EXPERIENCE, so it’d basically be Annoyance Simulator With Hollow Non-Dialogue.
