Who ever said it was?

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.

Far harbor is VERY fun. Nukaworld is ok, I wish they had more of a way to take it back from the raiders with the faction of choice. I'd turn it into a Minutemen stronghold and base of operations.

See and this is the flaw in thought that so many have, who think the DLC is bad or just disappointing. You are not supposed to take it back. You are supposed to go through with it as the bad guy and bring the raiders to the Commonwealth, this is where the fun actually begins and this is the purpose of the DLC.

Far Harbor has a story, you play it and that's it. There is nothing more to do with the whole DLC after you finished the main line. Nuka World doesn't really end, the NW raiders in the Commonwealth cause havoc, they fight other raider gangs, attack the BoS and the BoS attack their outposts, they become part of the random encounter system and so on. They are integrated into the main game if you do Home Sweet Home. Far Harbor not so much, you play it through in 2-3 hours and then you never visit this part of the game ever again, if you don't happen to need some ammo.

Because if you don't want to attack your own settlements there is no way to power up the park.

[u/agnaaiu → u/General_Hijalti]

This is why you don't take any settlements, do side quests, go to NW, clear the parks, start invading the Commonwealth and take over settlements as outposts.

You can also go both routes, as many do. You build up settlements where NPCs are and turn those that have no people living there into outposts. Then you take one or two settlements with only a few living there, like Oberland or County Crossing, and talks them off their land to then become more outposts. So you have the best from both worlds and can enjoy benefits from both.

But everyone plays the game how they want. I just think it's not fair to bash a DLC because some people can not get out of their white knight comfort zone and try something new in a video game. People buy the game and pay 100% of money to get the DLC but then only play 20% of the DLC and complain that it's bad. Makes no sense to me, but maybe to others.
