Travel off the coast of Maine to the mysterious island ofFar Harbor, where higher levels of radiation have created a more feral world. Navigate through the growing conflict between the synths, the Children of Atom, and the local townspeople. Will you work towards bringing peace to Far Harbor, and at what cost?

As expected there is a bevy of new content to explore. There are more than 20 newLocationsonThe Island, including the featured townFar Harbor. People in search of new gear will not be disappointed as some special unique weapons have been added, such as the powerfulAdmiral’s Friend, which is aunique versionof the newHarpoon Gunand some new melee options such asThe Fish Catcher, which should give gun nuts a reason to try something a little more up close and personal.

Editor at Fextralife. I look for the substantial in gaming and I try to connect video games to the emotions and stories they elicit. I love all things culture and history and have an odd fondness for the planet Jupiter. I think my dogs are pretty awesome too.
I honestly cannot tell if you are being facetious or not. That’s one of the things I hate about communicating through a text-based medium. Either way, I’ve only put a few hours into the DLC so far, and I gotta say, I’m loving it so far. The overall atmosphere and setting of Far Harbor is just such a refreshing change from the increasingly trite nuclear wasteland. It gives me a horror movie vibe, for want of a better word. And since I play on Survival difficulty using no HUD, that effect seems amplified. Anyway, far as I can tell, the DLC was definitely worth the $25.
I can assure you it is every bit as good as it seemed.
I can’t wait to get home from work so I can play. I’ve been longing for something like this for Fallout 4 for months now. I hope it’ll be as good as it seems.
Very timely with the article E! Great research, and lots of info for the wiki – yay!
