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.

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.
