Raycheetah Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 A friend also pointed out to me that the arena DLC was probably lifted out of the Combat Zone, and should've been available as part of the basic game, or at least introduced there, as was originally intended. Sounds to me like FO4 was still only half-baked, and Beth cut content to make their release date. Mebbe now some enterprising modder can take what we're being charged for and restore it to the Combat Zone in some capacity. ='[.]'= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combat zone was a bar where you earn money via fights. The DLC is something added to your settlement and you are the ring leader with monsters and slavery added to the game. The only thing that is the same is the arena idea. Edited February 16, 2016 by Boombro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that is the same is the arena idea. The issue remains - Combat zone should've been an arena based quest, with radiant "fight quests", not just a shootout that takes 1 minute and gives you a fake Irish companion. Someguy will most likely pick this zone up and come with a quest for it that will be worth our time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yzerman19 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I am pschyed about new content! I will order the pass about a week from now, just before the deadline. Why? Because I can... I was kind of depressed how modders decline on making very many mods relating to the DLCs in previous games, including Skyrim. Oh well...playing the DLCs with tons of new mods would be exciting though...HINT HINT HINT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the combat zone is just another way to do it. Not saying I don't want it to be back, but this just another meh thing.The DLC seems to be better and more than the zone at least.

RaffTheSweetling Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Not sure why the writers keep recycling characters/villains instead of creating new ones - The Mechanist? Robobrain? Seriously? They'll get game of the year for this too, despite how derivative it all is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexxagone Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 They should expand and improve the pathetic experience called "The Commonwealth" rather han trying to give us islands or new land DLCs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda expected the Robobrain, its been in every FO so far and I didnt see one anywhere.Did find it odd to bring back The Mechanist from FO3...wonder if the AntAgonizer is back too :down: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's "Far" Harbor: http://www.bing.com/maps/default.aspx?name=Bar+Harbor&cp=44.385425567627~-68.2100982666016&where1=Bar+Harbor&lvl=10&satid=id.sid:ab86eb96-b0a5-e593-80c6-559e34cd3b22&vdpId=2891&ppois=44.385425567627_-68.2100982666016_Bar+Harbor&mb=44.44936~-68.41977~44.30537~-68.17351 Pretty big piece of real-estate, if Bethesda chose to use all of it. Looks like the second DLC may include an additional generator option; look toward the top of the screen-cap, and you'll see a Fusion Core generator with a power connector on top. Might be a nice alternate use for FCs, with a higher generating capacity. Prolly needs Nuclear Physicist to construct. =^[.]^= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
