    I feel that a lot of people might be too harsh on some of the DLC, but this one deserves every negative comment it receives. While I'm not saying it is a bad addition to the game it feels like a free patch that would come with any other game. It is not worth any money as the story takes possibly less than an hour and then you are simply left with a Sims Stuff pack to your settlement.

    Vault tec Workshop is more of the same, which in this case isn't a good thing. The experiment are extremely lacking and workshop continues to be frustrating. Bethesda continues to refine this concept, however it's at the expensive of the consumers. One can only hope the next and final dlc can break this streak of mediocrity.

    Interesting idea botched by the poor design of the underground building area and more of the same without improving the experience. A waste of time unless you NEED to have more settlement building for whatever reason. More fun playing the free mobile game and a better experience being an overseer than this. Just don't bother with this DLC.

    This is just pathetic attempt to bring crafting back to life in this game.This is just stupid.Well if you liked the previous workshop DLC and you don't care about story at all you will like this DLC as well.Otherwise I think you will be disappointed as i was.This DLC on top of it all breaks the game lore.

    Bethesda has released the 5th DLC for Fallout 4. So, is this workshop DLC worth $5 or $50 if you plan to buy the Season Pass? No.

    This DLCs does nothing but let you build a Vault. Which there's already a free mod for. And a F2P mobile game. So unless you want to pay $5 for some more chairs and tables. Don't buy this DLCs. It's nothing but a money grab by Bethesda. What happened to    Bethesda has released the 5th DLC for Fallout 4. So, is this workshop DLC worth $5 or $50 if you plan to buy the Season Pass? No.

    What happened to the Settlement mode being optional (Which it's not), why release 3 Workshop DLCs fo something optional?    … Expand

    Cant see enemies. Dont know where they shooting from. Dogmeat gets in the way while i am looting. Asking me to kill raiders in a factory or some crap but the raiders dont come to me! I must find them and then kill them? Grenade markers are worthless. CRAP GAME WASTE OF TIME. STUPID BETHESDA. EAT 0 NOOB DEVS. CANT EVEN MAKE GAME THESE STUPID DEVS.

    If you’ve got the pass already, then Vault-Tec Workshop is worth looking into. If you played the hell out of Fallout Shelter, then you’re sure to love this update. Otherwise, save your money for Nuka World, and cross your fingers in hopes that it’s as good as Far Harbour.

    Fallout 4 Vault-Tec Workshop has great potential, but has few and brief quests, and a Vault management identical to that of the settlements.

    Vault-Tec Workshop has comparatively modest aims. It isn't as wild as Contraptions, but offers more than Wasteland did. Creating a vault shelter might not be as flashy as taming Deathclaws or setting up factory lines to move scrap around, but the appeal is much more apparent and lasting.
