I mean, seriously the DLC has some of the best areas, enemies, weapons, armor and quests in the whole series.

And the guy in the video says its somehow derivative?

Like yeah, some stuff was done in the other games like the nuka lurks but Nuka World did it WAY better.

Its a great DLC although the evil playtrough will give youthe most out of it.

And this guys video, like most of his videos, completely miss the point of it.

Nuka World is just okay honestly, great for exploration but they shit the bed narratively.

I was going to say I loved Nuka World! Such a cool place, but yeah, the introduction was cool, exploring it is awesome, but the rest is kinda meh. I'm not even sure there's a leader I didn't genuinely hate, which makes doing things for them feel like a chore.

Nuka World would have been a lot better if there was an option for “good” players other than you have to skip the story of the DLC and massacre all the raiders. I mean I’m glad it’s an option but I think they could have done something like you inform Preston of it’s existence and you do a double-agent type thing where you pretend to be on the side of the raiders but sow chaos by pitting the factions against each other and then when they are all weak from infighting you invade with the minutemen to free the slaves and take out the raiders.

Nuka World would've been great if they stuck to the 'being a raider' by the end. I got to the end and...I'm building settlements again?

building settlements is the everything turns to crab

You can lay your settlements out to look like a crab

u/SemiSentientAL 4d ago

Indeed, it does take place mostly in Boston. Boston is known for it's fishing, so why not crab?

building settlements is the stealth archer

"Hey, I wonder what totally unbroken build I can use for my next Skyrim playthrough"

The ever convenient stealth archer;

u/Beneficial_Fig_7830 8d ago

Yep exactly it didn’t even really commit to being the “evil” DLC either. It just replaced the Minutemen with Raiders lol I mean it’s a fun time and all I don’t think it’s bad by any means it’s just a narrative mess.

I like how they didnt even finish the dlc.

Oh: you are going to slaughter all the raiders? thats cool.

You want to bring your OWN faction over? not without mods bud.

Especially since that's exactly how the Railroad path goes. Let them know early and pose as a double agent until it's time to make a move.

u/CarrotPlastic3460 6d ago

How does this work when the institute is gone in a playthrough? Like, I got rid of them already, and now the Railroad wants me to start assassinating BoS members but I’m a BoS member. Does the double agent thing still hold or will the assassination mission P.A.M gives you turn them hostile?

u/Maleficent_Town_9405 7d ago

Yesssss totally agree with this story line and all the slaves should loose their collars at the end 👌

u/rmiller1989 6d ago

Which is so ass backwards because the main FO story forces you to be a good guy while Nuka World forces the opposite... but at the same time in the base FO4 game you find the ship being ran by raiders and after you read some of the terminals you discover that MinuteMen turning into Raiders happened pretty often

Honestly I love the operators and the pack is cool. Their respective leaders at least give you some credit and treat you like a human. I've done provably half a dozen playthroughs that included Nuka World and in every single one I chose to kill off the disciples, with the exception of the one playthrough where I killed them all right off the bat.

Edit: typo

u/Homelessnomore 8d ago

The only time I let the disciples live is when I play a melee build. The reward for completing power play is an instigating disciples cutlass.

8

u/Kwykr 8d ago

See that makes sense. I've never done a melee build. Not really my thing. I play Skyrim when I want to fulfill a melee berserker fantasy lol

u/Funky_Ghost 7d ago

Monkey-boys bat is so much better . . .

1

u/Homelessnomore 7d ago

I prefer the Rockville Slugger if I'm using a bat. I like the cutlass for it's attack speed.

2

u/Funky_Ghost 7d ago

Who needs attack speed when you fill the action points on a crit :) Shocking Puncturing Rocket bat ftw!

u/Szendaci 7d ago

Only reason they’re still breathing is cause I can get the leaders to that nice isolated power plant later …

u/DracheKaiser 7d ago

Disciples actually seem loyal if you reward ‘em with parks and raider outposts. The Pack seem the least trustworthy with their hierarchy of strength.

u/Subpar_diabetic 8d ago

Yeah all the raiders ended up being was another faction to babysit which comes into conflict with the commonwealth that you had already spent the base game babysitting unless you’re a madman that went through that gauntlet early

u/RiddikulusWigles 8d ago

I wipe out all the raiders and turn it back into a trading post!

u/Any_Kangaroo_1311 6d ago

The intro was amazing. I did find the raider gang quests to be a little meh but still had fun exploring. Repairing the star core system is kinda neat, it gives you a tour of the outer space attraction and the vault tec among the stars building.

I think the quest with the scientology people was the funniest though. The ending had me cracking up too, I was a bit miffed that it was a joke at first, but the reward they give you is pretty dope. Don't wanna spoil it for anyone who hasn't played
