News You Need to Be at Least Level 20 For Fallout 4's Next DLC to Trigger Automatically
Otherwise you have to go find it
If you're under level 20 and you're looking forward to jumping straight into Vault-Tec Workshop, Fallout 4's second last slice of downloadable content, then you should know that you'll have to do things the hard way. Only those at level 20 or over will automatically trigger the add-on's initial quest when they load...
Live Get a Much Better Look at Fallout 4's Vault-Tec Workshop DLC Right Here
Going underground
Other than a brief mention during Bethesda's E3 2016 press conference, we've got very little to go on when it comes to Fallout 4's penultimate piece of downloadable content, Vault-Tec Workshop. The add-on will supposedly allow you to build your own underground vault and watch over its inhabitants as the Overseer, but no one's quite...
News Fallout 4's Penultimate DLC Digs Up a Release Date on PS4
Down we go
Fallout 4's second last slice of downloadable content has a confirmed release date. The add-on, dubbed the Vault-Tec Workshop, will give you the ability to establish your own underground vault, and control it as the Overseer. It certainly doesn't seem to be a true expansion - especially since it's priced at only several dollars without...
News Fallout 4 Mods Suffer Another Setback on PS4
The saga continues
PlayStation 4 mod support for Fallout 4 has fallen foul of another setback today as Bethesda has revealed that the incoming mods beta on Sony's console has been delayed. Naturally, we assume this means that actual mod functionality - which was supposedly going to be in place relatively soon - will now be pushed back. It's also...
DLC Review Making Settlements a Little More Fun with Fallout 4's Contraptions
They call me the tinkerer
Fallout 4's Contraptions add-on is the kind of downloadable content that a lot of players are going to brush aside. It's not the sort of DLC that'll drag lapsed survivors kicking and screaming back to the Commonwealth, and it's certainly not the kind of add-on that's going to breath hours upon hours of new life into...
News Fallout 4 Mods Don't Sound Too Hot on PS4
Hmmmm
So, Fallout 4 mods are supposed to be finally coming to PlayStation 4 this month, but as is all too often the case with Bethesda when it comes to working with Sony's consoles, things aren't quite as simple as they should be. Just recently, Bethesda released some notes on the incoming mod support, and was quick to outline some potential...

During its E3 2016 press conference, Bethesda confirmed the existence of Nuka World, Fallout 4's next big expansion.

E3 2016 Bethesda Admits Fallout 4's Dialogue System Isn't All That Great
Let's talk
Fallout 4's overhauled, voiced dialogue system is easily one of its most criticised elements, with many fans believing that its simplicity takes away from what made the more complex speech trees of previous titles enjoyable. Although we don't think it's quite as bad as some make it out to be, we can certainly see where the criticism is...
E3 2016 Become a Raider Boss in Fallout 4's Next Big Expansion
Bandit country
Nuka World, announced during Bethesda's E3 2016 press conference, is Fallout 4's next big expansion.

The big story here is that you'll apparently be able to lead Raider gangs, becoming the brutal tyrant...
E3 2016 Here's What's Next For Fallout 4's DLC on PS4
We're going to Nuka World
Bethesda revealed what's next for Fallout 4 at its E3 2016 press conference, and while a couple of meagre add-on packs had many fans groaning, the good news is that the open world role-playing shooter is getting what looks to be another sizeable expansion in August. But first, let's rewind to the not-so-exciting stuff. To...
Hands On Fallout 4: Far Harbor Removes Fog to Boost PS4 Framerate
There's always a catch
We're happy to report that Fallout 4 fans can rest easy for now – well, kind of. Fallout 4: Far Harbor, the game's first "real" expansion, ran very poorly on PlayStation 4 when it released.

Wait, what? Last week, Bethesda stated that it had sent a Fallout 4: Far Harbor update to Sony for approval. It was apparently going to fix the add-on's serious frame rate issues, but the supposed patch still isn't available to download on PlayStation 4. Quite the mystery. Except there may have...

News Sony Revokes Free Fallout 4 Season Pass Purchases on PS4
Understandable
You win some, you lose some – but you've always got to try. Sony accidentally listed Fallout 4's pricey Season Pass for free late last week, leading many to believe that they'd nabbed all of Bethesda's post-release content at a complimentary fee. However, it's since revoked access to the DLC, so you'll need to stump up if you want...

Gotta build 'em all
Automatron is shaping up to be the perfect excuse to jump back into Fallout 4, and we have to admit that we're intrigued by the add-on's official trailer.

A rough estimate from Todd Howard
Mod support for Fallout 4 has been a big talking point - especially when it comes to us console players. How will they work? Will they be limited? How long will we have to wait?

You asked for it
Fallout 4 is a funny game, isn't it? This author enjoyed his time with it enough to unlock the coveted Platinum Trophy, but looking back it's hard not to feel a little disappointed.
