    Mothership Zeta is not as shabby as Operation: Anchorage, but it still not worth neither money, nor time.

    This dlc is so crazy, it makes me love it. Aliens kidnapping people? Toshiro samurai? Count me in. It's short, but fun. Pickens approves!

Mothership Zeta is barely more interesting than wandering around the wasteland killing raiders for a few of hours, and only then because aliens are slightly more interesting than raiders. But if you decide to go raider hunting and get bored, you can always just go do something else. Mothership Zeta forces you to do nothing except kill aliens for hours. Yay. The aliens have no personality, no motivations, no nothing except a big head and a desire to kill you. There are other humans in Mothership, but they don’t really do anything. They don’t help you, they aren’t interesting, and you’ll probably just ignore them. Other than the alien weapons you’ll pick up in the first 10 minutes, there’s not any cool loot. There aren’t any side quests: there’s nothing to do except escape the ship. That is, there’s nothing to do in this DLC except get it over with. Which raises an obvious question: why bother?… Full Review »
