Action role-playing video game Fallout 4 has received six pieces of downloadable content (DLC) from developer Bethesda Game Studios. With a new expansion dropping every month between March and August 2016, there’s a lot to look forward to. Far Harbor provides the newest gameplay, while Nuka-World has the newest material overall. The season pass now includes all six DLC packs, and the price hike occurred after the release of Far Harbor because of its massive size.

Gameplay
The linearity and predictability of many Fallout 4 side missions may make them tedious to go through. This is plausible given that the dungeons often have the same elements (a crumbling structure, hostile monsters, raiders, super mutants, and maybe gunners) and goals. It’s always “go there and kill it and then come back.” While Automatron’s mission goals aren’t very innovative, the game’s strong narrative and gorgeous environment more than makeup for this.
The plot begins with the rescue of a caravan from a band of robot attackers. The player then has a conversation with a sentient robot called Ada, who discloses that The Mechanist is releasing these peculiar robots into the wastes. Ada and the player want to stop The Mechanist in part to avenge the victims of The Mechanist’s robots.
It’s funny how the subtitles regularly use wording like “(aggressive bleep),” “(pained bleep),” and “(wary bleep)” to portray the robot’s bleeps. Background information is dispersed throughout the missions, but not much is disclosed about The Mechanist or their motivations until the very end.
The plot of The Mechanist is resolved neatly and satisfactorily, with a surprising conclusion and a reasonable rationale, despite the paucity of introductory material. The story’s brevity is its one real flaw. While you’ll be doing a lot of exploring and reading terminals, you should be able to complete all of the tasks in under three hours. Though enjoyable, the Automatron tale is really just a slick diversion. Automation doesn’t introduce any new land masses, thus there aren’t any new places to explore.
However, the Automatron expansion pack does provide new rooms. There are now not one, but two new dungeons to explore: a tech-den raider’s and The Mechanist’s abode. When compared to the rest of the game, the mood in each of these is very unique. Even though these dungeons have typical Fallout themes like derelict buildings, raiders, and robots, they are given a fresh perspective by the presence of robots and technical raiders (clad in robot armor).
The Mechanist’s dungeon is particularly intriguing because of the wide variety of settings it contains, from brain harvesting facilities and furnaces for burning dead people to robot assembly lines. Because of the dim lighting, energy weapons and explosions here really make an impact. You’ll find a plethora of terminals in the Mechanist’s lair that will fill you in on the goings-on in the factory and add depth to the Fallout canon.
