I hope they added that Ghoul Whale some Caravan Guard was describing at Bunker Hill.

down for point lookout 2.0

I was able to obtain a copy of far harbor for my game and after playing for 6 hours and rushing through the thing and trying to make sense of it all this is what I've got for it on a scale of 1 to ten.

6/10

Lets begin with gameplay.  Other than new weapons such as the one seen in the trailer (marine combat armor set) along side new enemies it doesn't seem to offer as much as it should have in terms of underwater gameplay. As in there is none. While the new creatures do add more immersion they don't bring anything new to the table. although i do find the tertis like gameplay at one point fascinating if a bit out of genre.

The story. While I do enjoy lots of moments from it, among being that nick has a brother synth as seen in the trailer, alongside the sea town theme and beautifully creepy atmosphere of the children of atom I feel like the amounts of choice near the end were in lacking. You could either kill far harbor for the children, have dima (nicks brother) cover up his crimes and commit more into mainting a state of peace between the two settlements, you could also kill the children of atom for far harbor, or reveal dimas crimes while leaving the conflict between the two settlements alongside the future of the synth colony tense it just makes me think Bethesda has once again failed at giving us closure.
 

Was it the sequel to point lookout? in much ways yes, albeit with a much more immersive story and more likable characters. 
also there is only whale bones, and no underwater city.

I have not read this whole thing but your review is a bit short hehehe. Was it really that short? Been too busy atm between VGU Studios, meetings with AMD, console companies, and finishing up what I promised Rex for his love of star wars, and Maybe's awesome mod him and his team have coming for FONV.

Isn't this supposed to be NDA'd? Preeety sure we're not allowed to discuss anything about it.

Didnt't read past the second paragraph because you know.. spoilers. First of all I want to ask how'd you get an early copy? Second is there any good location or any good lore in the DLC?
I'll probaby wait for reviews before I buy it.

I jumped to where you mentioned whales.

No whale no buy. >:V

Google is your friend=) Some got it on console that were not supposed to if you go read about it, also a simple google search will show its up on the net, about a 3.2gb download.

@donta1979: of course, like the CK beta that was leaked. And pretty much everything in this world that can be uploaded. Doesn't change the fact an NDA was signed if you got the beta, and if you got it through murkier means, you just outted yourself as a pirate. Arrrgh!

@dazzerfong pitrates are fun

yes but its out there, and many didn't sign an NDA. If you already purchased the season pass you have already paid for it.

@donta1979: I'm gonna leave that to the lawyers to figure out. All I know is that I signed an NDA that told me to sod off on all discussion outside of Bethsoft.

All I want to know is that are there at least a decent amount of armor in this dlc?

Well, this is somewhat unfortunate. Probably shouldn't get my hopes up for these types of things. Still, I'll see what's it like for myself.

Oy ,what about the Chinese assault rifle ...is it back ? I mean im still in FNV and FO3 because of that. No proper weapons ,no fun .

@thesilvershroud I thought they were mutated shrimps. But they aren't teenagers, I mean the Micheal Bay ones would fit in Fallout 4.

Maybe there could be a real life kraken in Far Harbor, they already added the angler fish monster thing.
But A ghoul Whale must be added, heard someone found a texture map for a giant squid creature, so maybe that could be possible too.

I was able to travel to darkest internet to find a user who is playing far harbor. teh quest starts with a you going to valatnies office and getting a report of a missing girl. The map is said to be decent sized. and its quote "kinda cool"
also yes the harpoon gun is from it.

Wrong its actually a radio signal, and there is no report file on a missing girl you have to talk to an npc.

Ok guys, I have to tell ya.... Far Harbor looks WICKed cool! Its like a giant haunted mansion merged with Dragonborn and lots of very scarey monsters.

Out of 10, Id rate Far Harbor a good solid 9.5 so far

There is one type of monster though that makes even the most hardy of Deathclaws look like f-ing chumps!

Far HArbor is a DLC for seasoned Fallout players for sure from what Ive seen!

Have to say after your multiple post on the subject, from saying it starts with a case file, and not a radio signal and talking to an npc. Its not short, what did you do just the main quest line and skip every bit of dialog and every mini side quest? Wondering if you actually have it or not with the 6/10 and saying its short. Twenty Seven hours into it myself and still not done. Those wondering some cool new monsters, lots and lots of new locations, new armors and one that is a step below power armor, lots of crazyness, three factions, new companions, tons of area to explore, its not short unless you do a speed run and skip every bit of dialog. Right now I am sitting at a 9/10 and have not beaten it yet. Its a ton of fun people and so far an excellent DLC with some surprises along the way, even an in depth puzzle that I will not talk about. Still have a ways to go until I do everything and beat it. Definatly better than the last two installments.
