Dude, don't be so careless, we paid a lot for this stuff

The second one sounds like a janky mod tbh. First sounds okay but might run into the same problem as Dawnguard aka arrive in Whiterun for the first time, master vampire attack, rip half of whiterun

[KingofstarrySkies]

Ohoh! The third one sounds like a genuinely fairly interesting bit of content! Because it involves Nick Fucking Valentine and his detective agency. I kind of want Fallout: Detective more than Fallout: Children Of Atom Strike Back.

I do hope it goes ever so slightly lovecraftian.

Fallout: Dunwich Borers/Building: The DLC basically.

...Yes. It might even tie into that weird quest from Point Lookout involving horrific demons. I'm excited now.

[jocan2003]

So it seems the first three DLC got announced.

“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!”

“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  nixi tube lighting, letter kits, taxidermy and more!”

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.”

All I can think of is... Wasn't the Mechanist that dude who fought the Antagonizer in 3?

Ahhh now i understand why its taking so long before the GECK is released... they wanna milk it a bit more before giving the tools to modders so they can add more for free. Or if my fears come to life.... make mods mini paid DLC..... and they would get a cut on them.... man i really hope my fear doesnt come to life or else it will create a REALLY bad example.....

I'd say if G.E.C.K is another 5 months out, worry then. By then the DLC will have had enough time to sell before an announcement of "Day 1" workshop integration prior to the G.E.C.K causes a backlash.*

*If that were to actually happen

Either that or it's waiting on some broader Steam framework for paid modding.

[ZebioLizard2]

EDIT: It seems ZebioLizard2 either didn't see it or forgot to mention, but Bethesda wants to make more DLC than those 3. These future, unannounced bits of content will be included in the season pass, that will be getting more expensive... unless you already own it, in which case you don't pay extra. The price change will happen on the 1st of March. Buying it before then guarantees you all content at the current price.

Didn't know about the Season Pass (blech), and I mentioned the First Three DLC. Bethseda likes it's DLC so it likely wouldn't be the last.

[Flying Dice]

I can't believe I got the season pass for this shit. Literally two content mods (one already done better by actual mods) and one new area.

[SOLDIER First]

I can't believe I got the season pass for this shit. Literally an entirely new set of companions that don't have annoying quips every time you pick up junk, Pokemon: Fallout version, and one new area with new quests that also explores an underdeveloped faction from the base game.

[Flying Dice]

Let me be clear: I do not like companions. I do not want companions. The ability to determine exactly what my nonexistent companions might be is not appealing, nor is it made so when paired with either vampire robot attacks or fetch-quests.

Likewise, if I wanted to play Pokemon, I'd play Touhoumon.

[SOLDIER First]

Then we have little to discuss, because pack mules lockpick/hacking slaves companions are pretty useful IMO.
I also don't see the issue with possible robot attacks, because vampire attacks were little more than a nuisance for me. _{Probably because I modded it so civilians go indoors during, like sane people}

I will also resist the urge to say Touhoumon isn't Pokemon, because from what I've seen it's a..... creative? overhaul of the latter.

[Flying Dice]

Eh. I've always liked to use carry weight as a reminder to do my home/city upkeep, it helps keep me in a regular play cycle where I'm always at base prepped and ready to go when I load up at the start of a stretch of free time, since it's a hassle to get into it if I have to spend twenty minutes selling shit and playing inventory Tetris.

Spoiler: offtopic (click to show/hide)

Depends on which Touhoumon you play, really. Some are basically independent RPGs, others more-or-less follow a canon Pokemon game's plot, just with all the 'mons repalced with 2hus and dialogue/item names changed. I play the latter, since I'm in it for Pokemon with creatures that don't look half-retarded and a total shakeup of known elemental types and ideal builds/prep strategies/hunting locations.

[SOLDIER First]

I compulsively hoard food/drugs/weapons all the time, so even after dumping all my junk I have 220/250 weight taken up by, say, seven guns, 40 total RadX/Away, and fifty generic meat items.
