I am not 100% sure, but I think all that is added is new areas/quests and not new mechanics or anything that changes the game. Just extra stuff in the game world, basically. But there is already a ton of things to explore and experiences to have for just that $15. Money well spent.
Let me double check.
Far Harbor - sounds like a new area on the map, a huge extra land mass to explore. Neat! But no changes to the game, just more stuff. Good reviews though.
Nuka World - sounds like another area to visit, not as big as Far Harbor, and getting mixed reviews. Hm.
Vault-Tec Workstop - Wow, very negative reviews. People must think it’s a huge waste of money/time? More stuff to build in your settlements, I assume. Settlement magagement is mostly why I can’t get back into the game again.
I may have to look into the mod @Lantz mentioned while I was typing this up, maybe.
Contraptions - Also negative reviews, also more building stuff. Is this the Sims!? :)
Atomatron - This seems to change the game a bit by adding an event where robots are more frequently encountered and drop crafting bits to upgrade power armor and build your own robots. Seems neat, getting good reviews.
Nothing (maybe Far Harbor) really does much for me, personally, but YMMV.
The fonts are so tiny and I think I would be horrible at the arcade parts but thanks for the suggestion @BrianRubin and the ⚠️s @SlainteMhath and @Granath
One thing I read is that the two good DLCs will cause you to spend more than GOTY price, and that a lot of mods require the DLC for one reason or another.
I’m emerging from my post -CFA culture shock, so I picked up Max Payne 3 (@tomchick had counter recommended it a few videos ago). 2/3s of the way through and it holds up so well. There’s even a Manhunt Easter Egg too.
Well, y’all flipped me from base FO4 to the GoTY edition and it’s a done deal. And wow, that settlers mod sounds amazing to keep the micromanagement down, even though I’m not usually one for modding games. Time to head over to the FO4 thread. Thanks for all the tips.
I’m pretty sure Far Harbor added another companion, more perk levels to certain perks, as well as more Legendary modifiers to gear. Also a few new different type of weapons, armor, mobs. Plus some more perks depending on which faction you choose to help or not.
If this is true, now I want to pick it up ($15 for just Far Harbor). I wonder if that Settlement mod would work with only Far Harbor installed. I have $34 left, I guess I could pick up the season pass but I kind of want to grab Hollow Knight and War for the Overlord as well. Decisions.
Any reason to talk me out of (or specifically into) any of the following? They are on my shortlist to grab based on word of mouth, comments I picked up here and there, that sort of thing.
Hollow Knight
War for the Overworld (I loved DK and DK2 back in the day)
Space Tyrant
Metro Last Light Redux (I haven’t played this since it was originally released, but I loved it)
Talking you out of Hollow Knight’d be a crime. I defy anybody to do it (but I’m sure some English man will come up with some fallacy, like “Don’t get in on PC, get it on Switch” or other light trolling).
Hollow Knight has huge pacing issues for the first ten hours or so, until you unlock a couple abilities. The movement physics are also garbage, but you’ll get used to them after a while.
