Fallout 4 Far Harbor DLC Review

Fallout 4 Far Harbor DLC is a major update with a completely new location, dangerous new creatures, new legendary weapons/armors prefixes, a new questline for you to tackle and a minor settlement update.

Far Harbor morning fog.

The beautiful island of Far Harbor is a location of size similar to a major zone of the Commonwealth, but extra packed with stuff and enemies. Home to Vim, a strong competitor of Nuka Cola, a dangerous fog and three distinct factions fighting for survival you will have no shortage of people to help and places to explore.

Any decision you made regarding the fate of the Commonwealth in the base game can have little effect in this island, if you choose so. Which allows you to enjoy this content at any opportune moment (you do have to complete the early quest Getting a Clue). The settlement update is limited to a few new structures themed after barns.

Maybe due to the scope of this map compared to the base game, this update shines on the consequences of your choices and how your behavior influences the outcome, and the future, of the island. You also get four new settlement locations, one new companion and some of the best sarcastic lines of the game!

Pro Tip 1: Bring Nick Valentine.

Pro Tip 2: You can safely complete all side quests from all factions without having to pick a side. That will come at the end of the quest Best Left Forgotten, after which some quests might not be available.

PS: Bethesda did not produce a Developer Walkthrough for this DLC.
