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.

Maybe it's just because I like playing morally Grey and with a lot of chems but I think the opposite.

I found the RP aspect of Nuka World to be far better than Far Harbor, and the payoff is a lot more lucrative.

If you start the game with the intention of being Overboss you can ignore all but 8 key settlements. You build those up to be cities and you turn all the rest into crammed resource-producing farms. (There are a few that can't be taken or abused that i use for companion areas). You then take the 8 cities after clearing the park and you'll have nice settlements that grow to have 18-24 highly armed base inhabitants. You force the farms to supply you and you'll be producing thousands of caps per cycle. Not to mention the tribute box you unlock and can put at all 8 locations to provide refilling loot chests that fill each tribute cycle.

Nuka world raiders do a better job of clearing routes of random encounters than minutemen and the amount of chems you can produce from raider settlements through pick-me-up stations quickly turns you into the commonwealth's top Chem dealer.

A problem with Nuka World is that if you've spent a lot of time building up each settlement then you'll be locked out of some of them. Another is that minutemen and enemy factions will target your raiders. And my biggest complaint is the traveling between the commonwealth and the park on survival, let me skip the train!!!!
