    Definitely the best workshop add-on so far simply due to the scale of it and the additional story.

    Fallout's new editing system gains a very powerful icon with the Vaul-Tec Workshop DLC, but for the ones who love walking on the irradiated ground what happens beneath them may be not so interesting.

    After the stellar, story-based content that was “Far Harbour”, “Vault-Tec” simply underwhelms. A handful of fetch quests pad out limited crafting content. While you can go nuts and design a Vault any Overseer would be proud of, the content itself only asks that you explore a couple cave systems and build four experimental machines.

    If Fallout 4 has managed to at least teach me anything in its lifespan as a mediocre RPG, it is that money apparently no-longer equates to theIf Fallout 4 has managed to at least teach me anything in its lifespan as a mediocre RPG, it is that money apparently no-longer equates to the same amount of value as it once did in the DLC department and that regret is a dish best served cold when we find ourselves reminiscing about our decision to buy the season pass as we stare down the game's second last DLC.

    In complete honesty i really did want to like this DLC, I truly did, as does anyone who played Fallout 3 for the first time in 2008 from running down the hallways of vault 101, to knocking out Jonas and your Dad with a BB gun during your 10th birthday. Instead when playing the DLC all i ended up feeling was absolute disappointment and frustration from the restrictions and limitations that the vault offered.

    When starting the DLC i hurried over to Vault 88 (The DLC's location) with the intention of building my Vault ASAP, instead what i found was a tacked on story and a grind of enemies that was already beginning to make me bored, so much so that after actually entering the vault I murdered the overseer on impulse to put a quick end to the story content. However in doing this i found that i permanently locked off building sections of the map leaving me only the initial areas to build off of in order to build my vault. Reloading a previous save i then decided that i was going to do things a little more legitimately by working towards expanding my perimeters to make one big vault even if it meant doing so called story content to get there.

    After spending 3 painful hours doing these quests I was ready to begin when long and behold found that i could not make the vault i wanted let alone achieve some of the basic features of vault such as connecting different rooms or even install a door between 2 rooms. After discovering this i then moved unto some of the of the other vault features which not so surprisingly were about as limited as the area in which your vault is built.

    In the end i only ended up playing this DLC for the achievements it gave and left an unfinished vault that will forever serve as a monument towards how unfinished this DLC feels    … Full Review »

    With this latest addition to their seemingly endless run of shoddy poorly thought out broken and forgettable releases bethesda has once againWith this latest addition to their seemingly endless run of shoddy poorly thought out broken and forgettable releases bethesda has once again shown everyone that they could not care less about their customers. Remember when todd howard told us that we could run experiments in a vault of our own? That was a lie. You build 4 small machines that do absolutely nothing and have one guy test them and that's it. You build the vault, (If you can get the garbage snap points to work that is). Do those four fast and simple things and you're done. And once you build the machines you can't build any others. even though in the teaser trailer you can clearly see multiples of said machines in use by vault dwellers.

    We can now add false advertising to the plethora of reasons why this company is complete trash. Todd howard and zenimax have turned this once proud studio into a worthless husk of it's former self that is staffed by the most incompetent coders on the planet. Don't waste your time or money on this piece of trash or any other bethesda products for that matter. This dlc is a joke, How these morons managed to take such a simple and easy to flawlessly pull off concept and utterly screw it up by making it a trivial boring and shallow crap fest is beyond me.    … Full Review »
