Fallout 4 DLC: Contraptions Workshop - official trailer
Bethesda loves dlcs - official add-ons of varying amounts of content, from small decorative improvements to full-fledged, explorable areas and well-developed storylines for many hours of gameplay. Dlc did not bypass at one time the good old Morrowind, let alone Fallout 4, when it was 2016.
In total, six addons have been announced, bringing something new. The last of them will be released soon - and we will tell a little about each.
Advice
Most new adventures start with the fact that we select the appropriate radio station in Pipboy.
Fallout 4 dlc 1: Automatron
Automatron - Mechanist in person
It came out in March and offers the hero a new adventure, as well as a new crafting branch - crafting robots. The mysterious Mechanist unleashes his mechanical creatures on the Commonwealth, sowing good and eternal, as he believes.
We have to walk through new atmospheric locations, complete a series of quests and defeat the antagonist. Alas, it will not take so much time - but after passing we will have a workbench and a lot of details to create the most different robots- from the classic Mister Helpers, Braves, Robo-Eye, Protectrons and Guards, to the most unimaginable results of robo-vivisection.
These companions are great as companions - they will not pour out their souls and will not be worn out by any action of the hero. With due diligence, an excellent “tank” or a silent killer can come out, or just a voluminous box for belongings on wheels.
In order to start Automatron, you will need to tune into an emergency frequency. A complete set of X-01 type II power armor, which an attentive adventurer will find, will be a great bonus.

Fallout 4 dlc 2: Wasteland Workshop
The Wasteland Workshop add-on allows you to capture and tame the Deathclaw
Not much time has passed since the release of the second official addition to Fallout 4 - Wasteland Workshop. Which does not introduce any new adventures, but significantly expands the content for those who like to build, and also makes it possible to organize arenas for fighting to the death.
Despite the fact that the original game pleased with the opportunity to create your own settlements and houses, they were not particularly pleased with their diversity, and even with their hut-like appearance. Wasteland Workshop contributes a wide variety of things to the building: concrete roofs, walls, floors and fences, various decorations from inscriptions, to a greatly expanded collection of wall heads. There were such useful things as an arch for removing radiation, a plot for sowing and much more.
Bread has been available in settlements for a long time (or rather, mostly tomato and corn), the time has come for spectacles: special equipment has appeared for capturing creatures (up to raiders, death claws and yao-gai), which can later be released into the arena and watched by screams spectators for the battles. Well, in the end, personally shoot the champion.

Fallout 4 dlc 3: Far Harbor
Oh those Children of the Atom
Announced as the most major update from Bethesda, adding 20+ hours of gameplay. Huge unique area Far Harbor- this is a surprisingly atmospheric island, all covered with greenery of radioactive fog. The hero is brought here by a seemingly ordinary quest from Valentine's detective agency - as a result, turning into a long adventure, getting to know three factions (synths, people and children of the atom) and getting to know the most unusual flora and fauna.
Between organizations, of course, conflict flares up, but unlike original game, choosing a side does not imply genocide of dissenters. And even, there is an option for a more or less peaceful passage. In addition, the story of one of the most interesting satellites, Nick Valentine, will be developed.
Speaking of characters - there are a great many of them, and they are sometimes written much better than in the original game. In addition to the adventure itself, the add-on contains many new weapons, power armor, truly original monsters and areas to explore that remain white even after completing the main quest.

And then there's the next addition.
Fallout 4 dlc 4: Contraptions Workshop
Another "workshop" for lovers of construction and crafting. This time we are offered to acquire a lot of new structures for settlements.
First, decorative. Wall decorations such as posters, Institute and Minuteman flags, paintings, inscriptions, etc. can be included here. All sorts of little-useful things, like junk guns and fireworks, can also be included here.
It's time to become the owner of steamboat factories ... Well, so far without steamboats.
Secondly - for collectors and lovers of order. These are various showcases, stands and racks for weapons, which allows you to visually arrange them beautifully and not look for a long time if necessary. You can also decompose every little thing like baby dolls and magazines. For armor, new mannequins are suitable, for power - special pedestals.
Thirdly, functional innovations. For example, an elevator that greatly diversifies the construction of houses, and most importantly, various mini-factories: machines for the production of weapons, both firearms and energy weapons, armor, ammunition, etc., as well as conveyors that can sort or simply move , including upstairs, crafted items.

Fallout Shelter is that you
Played Fallout Shelter and wondered what it would look like in a "big" game? Or, when visiting the Vaults, did you think that you could equip it with the original, but better? Now you can show off your architectural talents in full in the Vault-Tec Workshop dlc, the fifth official addition.
As in the case of other addons, to start the adventure after installation, we tune in to a new radio wave and go to the point that appears on the map.

entertainment, which has become a stronghold of the raiders, and that this time we will have the opportunity to be a bad guy - standing at the head of his own gang and going to plunder peaceful settlers.
Unfortunately, no more expansions are planned - except for future patches, special editions, and graphical improvements, as Bethesda likes to do.
Fallout 4 add-ons will be released this spring and will be available to everyone. A total of three additions are planned to be made - these are Automatron, Wasteland Workshop and Far Harbor. Official add-ons are being developed by Bethesda and will be available to a wide audience in the next month or two. What are these additions, how much will they change game process and how much will they cost?
Automatron
You probably already noticed that in Fallout 4 there are no robo-brains (a kind of robots) that were in previous parts. This add-on will bring to the game not only a new type of robots, but also a lot of new quests, as well as the ability to assemble your own robo-companion. The main quest that this add-on will bring will revolve around a certain evil genius who reprograms robots, thereby forcing them to attack the inhabitants of the Commonwealth. The motives of the genius remain unclear, however, we will soon find out, as the expansion will be released later this month.
Wasteland Workshop
Always wanted to create an arena in your settlement like the Colosseum? This add-on will make your dreams come true. Thanks to him, you will be able to capture and bring into the settlement all the inhabitants of the wasteland, from minor mobs to death claws and super mutant monsters. In addition to the ability to pit mobs against each other, new tools and buildings will become available to you so that you can diversify your settlement. Although most of the features that this add-on provides can be seen in some mods, many players still look forward to it. The add-on will be released around mid-April 2016.
Far Harbor
This is the most global addition to Fallout 4. It will add a dozen new locations, expand the game map, add several new full-fledged characters, new quests will be available, and the story of Nick Valentine will change a bit. Presumably one of the new locations in the game will be a full-fledged settlement of runaway synths, who for some reason do not know anything about the Underground. Perhaps these synths will even be representatives of a new faction in the game. The expansion is planned to be released in May-June 2016.
Publisher Bethesda today shared with fans fallout games 4 good news - the company announced 3 add-ons that will be included in the Season Pass, and roughly outlined their release dates.

According to representatives of the studio Bethesda, in this moment 3 expansions planned. And if for computers you can download the game itself and add-ons to it, then for Xbox One they will have to be purchased, and at a considerable cost. In total, all DLC will cost about the same as the Fallout 4 game itself.
Automatron

Fans of the Fallout series of games should be pleased with the meeting with the robotic brain that was present in Fallout: New Vegas. Of the innovations, it can be noted that the crafting system will be released on new level, and players will be able to build their own robot to accompany them as they travel through the wastelands. As for the plot of the add-on, according to it, players will have to punish the villain-mechanist who sends evil robots to the Commonwealth.

Fallout 4 - how many words have been said and how many reviews have been written about this game. The new project from Bethesda received the most mixed and conflicting reviews and reviews from players and critics. However, this did not stop the creators from releasing several gaming and plot additions, which we will talk about as part of the Supplement, the game's plot, gameplay and the general impression of the DLC and the main story - all this is described in the article.
Brief history of the game
After the release of Fallout 3, all fans of the series were at a loss. On the one hand, it turned out to be a fresh and unusual game for the series, and on the other hand, it was already “not the same Fallout”. A few years later, the rights to develop a new part were transferred to other hands, and so New Vegas was born. The game was not called a full-fledged fourth part, although it was created from scratch - new world, plot, locations, and even completely redesigned and pumping, which was so strongly scolded in the third part. Part 4 didn't work because New Vegas was built on the same old engine that's been in use since Oblivion.
The public liked New Vegas much more than the original third part. Fans of the post-apocalypse play it to this day, even ignoring Fallout 4. Add-ons and various mods are still being actively developed for this game.
What about the new Fallout 4? At the end of 2015, discs with new game. The developers this time again were the studio Bethesda, with which a lot of discontent and distrust of the public was associated. Did Fallout 4 justify itself, will there be add-ons in the future and a description of the already released DLC - more on that later.
Did it work or not?
Almost all the fears associated with the release of the new part came true. Another developer change and a return to basics played a cruel joke on the series - Fallout 4 turned out to be a completely different game. Fans of the original parts and New Vegas did not understand why their favorite role-playing game turned into an ordinary shooter with a simplified version of pumping and dialogues. On the other hand, this allowed to attract a new and young audience to the series, who were just beginning to get acquainted with the adventures in the post-apocalypse of Fallout 4. The additions also turned out to be a little different from what the fans imagined them to be. Why did the game come out completely different? We will try to find the answer to this question further.
Plot
The protagonist is a military man who came face to face with the terrible problem and catastrophe in the history of mankind - nuclear war. The hero meets the first terrible explosion with his family at home. They are offered to escape to a shelter, but this rescue turned out to be a trap. Instead of housing, all people are placed in cryogenic capsules and frozen for 200 years for the purpose of research. The protagonist comes out of cryogenic sleep at the wrong moment - his wife/husband is killed and the child is taken away by unknown people.
Freed and coming to the surface in an empty and hostile world after 200 years of imprisonment, the hero goes in search of his son and gradually gets acquainted with the outside world. Here begins the main problem - the motivation of the hero. In Fallout 4, you will not be allowed to play the character as you wish, because he has a past and a whole backstory. Therefore, you somehow don’t want to help everyone on the way and fulfill their requests, because only one task is important for your hero.
Mechanics and gameplay
The following features are related to gameplay. In Fallout 4 (the gameplay additions are no different), you have to shoot a lot. Shoot a lot. We can say that the role-playing game has turned into a shooter. But here the ability system comes to the fore.
In the new part, they decided to combine all the abilities and pumping into a common system. SPECIAL parameters directly affect the number of abilities that you can learn. Moreover, each parameter is responsible for certain skills. Thus, you get a cocktail of all skills and characteristics. Absolutely everything can be pumped by the end of the game, since there are no restrictions on levels.
The next feature is simplified dialogs. Instead of the old and familiar dialog boxes, the players got the now fashionable dialog wheel. This is not what fans of the Fallout 4 storyline were expecting at all. The first add-on, created by fans, returns to its familiar look, but is unstable.
In the answer choice wheel, you can only choose a general topic on which your character will give a phrase or an entire speech. The difficulty lies in the fact that sometimes it is difficult to guess from the description of the answer what will be discussed. They also added a "Sarcasm" variant, in which the character had to respond in a manner appropriate to the name. However, it turned out to be ambiguous.
Now let's talk about the technical component. The game was created on a completely new game engine and looks quite decent. We are not talking about any realism, but the picture pleases the eye. But there is one point - it will please you only if you have a very powerful computer, and that is not a fact. Fallout 4 is very poorly optimized and weak computers produces low FPS. Apparently new engine not yet brought to mind.
Game world
In terms of area, the map in the fourth part is much smaller than in New Vegas. However, the developers went to the trick and artificially stretched the passage of the entire game world for almost a few hours. It was possible because of the saturation of events. At every step, crowds of mutants, raiders and new enemies will be waiting, which have elite enhanced variations. It takes a lot of game time in Fallout 4 to destroy all opponents and explore buildings. latest version with all the additions, it may require more than 40 hours to complete. And this is if you go only along storyline quests.
The appearance in the game of additions with robots, the construction of buildings and the creation of your own settlement further prolongs the gameplay. Add here the craft of weapons, equipment and storylines with your partners - we get almost endless game. Still, in some ways, Bethesda turned out to be a successful project. So successful that additions to it were not long in coming. Many people were worried about the question: when will the addition to Fallout 4 be released? Now you can be content with as many as three full-fledged DLCs, which we'll talk about later.
It’s worth clarifying right away that you can get access to all three DLCs through the Steam store for 1,500 rubles if you have a digital copy of the original game on your account. The first two expansions are small content additions, and the last one is a real story adventure with new locations and characters. What the Fallout 4 developer studio can be proud of is add-ons. What will be the DLC in the future - the company has not yet disclosed.
Autumatron
The first addition is related to robots. If you have reached a certain level, then on one of the radio waves you will hear a call for help - this will be the beginning of the Autumatron add-on. Arriving at the place of salvation, our hero discovers robots fighting among themselves. This will start a small quest line, after which you can design your own robots.
Of the advantages of the DLC, one can note the possibility of creating a unique companion that surpasses all of the original game in terms of combat power. The disadvantages include the fact that these innovations are catastrophically small for a full complement. New items, a small quest, a couple of dungeons and the robots themselves are good, but what about those who like to play alone and without partners?
Wasteland Workshop
The second addition to Fallout 4 (DLC) is connected with a similar theme. In it, you can tame wild pets and use them for your needs. You are also given the opportunity to catch opponents and lock them in cages. New decorations and items for your settlement are a nice addition. These two DLCs do not make sense to buy separately from the Season Pass, because they have too little content.
Far Harbor
And for the sake of this addition, it is worth spending money. In it you will find a completely new far island Harbor with its secrets, features, plot and characters. The game becomes more dangerous and difficult, and the opponents are angrier. On this island there is a secret colony of synths, in which you will have to find one woman at the request of your partner.
The developers promise in addition the largest number of locations and content than for any other game from Bethesda. And they did not deceive - the island of Far Harbor is huge in a good way. Under it there are many dungeons, and the enemies have really become stronger.
Another feature of Far Harbor - the game began to look completely different from the original. mesmerizing mist, dark night, lighting from lanterns and architecture unusual for the game create mesmerizing and frightening landscapes.
Along with this DLC was added to the game new mode passing on survival, in which the conditions and rules of survival in the post-apocalyptic world are tightened.
Verdict
We got acquainted with all the main aspects of the game and considered the essence of all the DLC for Fallout 4. The release of add-ons has not yet been announced, but the developers assure that players will still have a lot of unique content.
The developers of Fallout 4 often delight fans of their work with the release of new additions (DLC) to the game. Usually, all additions to Fallout 4 are divided into two types, either they are new content for building and crafting, or they are new interesting stories, in the center of which your main character falls. In this article, we will briefly review all the DLC for Fallout 4.
For convenience, use summary :

Fallout 4 DLC - Wasteland Workshop
Literally less than a month after the release of the first Fallout 4 add-on, the second official DLC saw the light of day.

Fallout 4 DLC - Contraptions Workshop
Fallout 4 DLC - Vault-Tec Workshop

Fallout 4 DLC - Nuka World
This is another global add-on, similar in scope to Far Harbor, which allows the main character to lead a large gang of raiders and take over the Commonwealth. This DLC adds to the game.
