Fallout 4 Far Harbor DLC is a Massive Piece of Content
Released back in November of last year it seems like Bethesda still has a lot of plans for its monster hit, Fallout 4. The biggest piece of DLC that the game has seen so far, Far Harbor is due to drop next week. It better be big too, coming in at $24.99 to purchase solo or as part of the Season Pass.There have been testers already playing the content of course, and they have been taking the time to post impressions over on Reddit. Tech and gaming site WCCFtech took the time to go out of their way to contact some of these testers to get their thoughts on the content so far.
We already know that the content is big as Bethesda let us know that right from the start, but how big are we talking? One redditor stated that it took him around 20 hours to cover all the quests and hit up every marker on the map.
It’s taken a little while, maybe 20-22 hours to do a search at every map marker and do the quests. There are however quite a lot of secret places I’ve yet to discover, hunting them all down will take many more hours if you are the adventurous type.
Another redditor WCCFtech contacted noted that the main quest itself isn’t necessarily the longest piece of content but the side content really helps bring up that time total.
Well the main quest was actually pretty short but there were a lot of side quests and miscellaneous tasks to do, probably around 10-15 hours. I haven’t completed all the content.
Finally, a third redditor who stated that he didn’t focus on the time too much, heaped a ton of praise on the upcoming content.
A third Redditor said that he didn’t count the gameplay hours, but he had a lot of praise about Far Harbor as a whole.
I don’t know exactly how many hours it took, but I finished everything in 3 days. The amount of content in this DLC is awesome. When you meet every faction, you instantly receive the option to do something like 5 side quests, most of them have something unique about them, be it dialogue (some of the sarcastic options are MUCH funnier than in the main game) or gameplay, and they all have multiple endings.
And when you complete the quests from far harbor they give you even MORE quests. And most of the rewards are actually pretty unique, some with new legendary status. The guns are pretty great, especially the lever action rifles, but there are some amazing and cool looking melee weapons in this DLC too.
Bethesda was also quoted as saying that Far Harbor will be on the scary side. On another public thread it looks like the testers can confirm that as well.
- There are definitely some scary moments, especially when you have the Darker Nights mod installed… Far Harbor is incredibly dark and foggy all the time, and you legitimately run the risk of being ambushed and murdered at any second. The enemies are really deadly too.
- Its incredibly unnerving to explore.
- There’s some jump scares from wolves. Flipped my seat over and hurt my head during one.
- Point lookout wasn’t scary. This on the other hand…
- It’s kind of like a mix between Point Lookout and Dead Money.
