    Okay look, many are pissed about this dlc because you basically become a raider leader (probably) but the gameplay environment and expansion is actually very nice.

    I don't even know what people are mad about really, in Fallout 3 and New Vegas you can kill literally everyone (almost) and people loved that. Then everyone got mad because you can't do that in Fallout 4. Like seriously make

    I don't even know what people are mad about really, in Fallout 3 and New Vegas you can kill literally everyone (almost) and people loved that. Then everyone got mad because you can't do that in Fallout 4. Like seriously make up your mind. The Pitt did exactly the same thing and no one got mad about that. People want to be good and then get mad when the games better when you're evil. Oh well ya know go play Fallout 3 and New Vegas because they did the same damn thing. Sometimes you have to be evil I blew up Megaton and then was nice to everyone else because I needed those damn caps son. Thats an essential role to Fallout don't like it go play something else, but you know thats just my opinion.

    I know that not all will agree with me, but I think Fallout 4 was a wonderful game and one of the best I've played in years, but I'm pretty sure the general consensus on the DLC packs were pretty much all in agreement: it sucked. Besides this and Far Harbor, it was bad to just mediocre. The workshops could've been free add-ons. Only having 2 story-related DLCs made me feel cheated inI know that not all will agree with me, but I think Fallout 4 was a wonderful game and one of the best I've played in years, but I'm pretty sure the general consensus on the DLC packs were pretty much all in agreement: it sucked. Besides this and Far Harbor, it was bad to just mediocre. The workshops could've been free add-ons. Only having 2 story-related DLCs made me feel cheated in comparison to previous games.

    Anyway, Nuka-World is actually a pretty neat little pack and is actually pretty quality DLC that rivals some in 3 and New Vegas. The story is quite linear and not quite as good as other packs, but there is definitely a lot of content to explore. New legendary power armor sets and some nice new weapons for sure! Loved the Fun House and Nuka-Galaxy coaster as well. Thought those were really fun. The raider settlements are pretty cool, though, they can mess up relations with other characters so I'd do them at my own risk or maybe on another save file, but they're completely optional. Overall I have been pleased with this. Put about 30 hours into this DLC doing the quests and exploring and still haven't gotten everything yet. If you want some good DLC for Fallout, this is a great one for sure.

    Best Fallout DLC for me after Gun Runners Arsenal, not for everyone tho.
    Nuka World is really fun to explore and has some awesome details. The Story behind it is awesome but it kinda felt short. Power up, Get this and that and so on.
    Verdict: If you want to be evil, a Raider then this is a must buy DLC. If not, then don't touch it

    This dlc introduces so many fun new characters and game mechanics that are either entirely new or expand on old systems. The quests are fun and entertaining but drag on a bit. The new map in itself is very cool and fun, lots of colors which the game needed. I think it is definitely a buy and worth they play through. Just the raiders settlement mechanic in itself makes it worth it to me.

  1. Nuka-World doesn’t constitute the best time I’ve had playing Fallout. The action and mild role-playing don’t grow the core experience in any meaningful ways. But it did remind me why this epic post-apocalyptic adventure has kept my attention for nearly two decades, and it has everything to do with the series’ setting, culture, and mythology, all of which echo our own in ways familiar and sometimes uncomfortable.

    Nuka-World signals the end of Fallout 4 and the team at Bethesda should be proud of the game they’ve created. Nuka-World gives you several more hours in the wastelands of Fallout 4 and scratches the exploration itch one more time.

    The quality of the content isn’t as good as Far Harbour with it’s character driven story, and Bethesda are still way behind the curve of Obsidian’s relentlessly excellent New Vegas DLC, but just for how unique the place is, you’ll get your money’s worth out of it if you’re a fan of the game already and want something a little different to explore.
