the first DLC to fallout 4 shift last week under Bethesda's newly raised season pass pricing but is also available individually of course the first expansion kit is named automat Ron and is available independently at ten dollars or as part of that season buyin and as with most games it's effectively a glorified professionally crafted mod that expands base play modestly but doesn't go too crazy auto motor on a dance or tubby be eg to the Commonwealth and he's known only as the mechanist equal parts ambiguous evil sounding and very corny if we're honest and he is crafting custom robots to terrorize the countryside as would be the case it's of course our job to destroy him it's a wholly original storyline for the elder or rather fallout games and by wholly original I mean not that at all because really it's the same stuff we see in the Elder Scrolls same stuff we saw in fallout 4 3 new Vegas and all the other games that are of this ilk the DLC it makes for more of the same side quests and ottoman sean sets up a few new dungeon environment and buildings robots Raiders as always and puts a new BB EG behind them but just because it's more of the same doesn't mean it's bad the story is reasonably compelling if short and serves as a vessel for the introduction of new robot building mechanics for the post DLC game world after we save a caravan from robot onslaught and overthrow the mechanist this is by the way a process that takes just under three hours if reasonably paced and if you're reading all of the lower that's in the terminals we're then granted access to robot schematics for all the favorites using appropriate perks and supplies were able to craft robots who can function as settlers or as companions with varying abilities and deadliness and weapons and face lasers and all that good stuff bugs are of course present throughout this DLC is Bethesda after all and they really shouldn't be given a pass for these especially at this point they're not too bad this time thankfully we ran mostly into pathfinding issues with robot companions and issues where robots would blow their own arms off by using weapons too close to solid objects other than this the new features function fairly well and generally without bugs that break things be repair that said it seems very likely that modders will recreate this functionality in the future and make it available through free mods so if you're really sort of cheap and you'd rather wait and maybe see if modders do it differently or perhaps better you of course support fit some stuff like that storyline but you might get some of the same functionality so you're looking around at nexus mods and seeing what pops up other than this though everything is reasonably put together auto mitrani is the first DLC for Fallout 4 and it's a solid addition to the game the storyline accompanying atmosphere and the new functions add some variety and offer an enjoyable I'll be it a bit short playthrough for a new type of dungeon the larger addition is robot crafting which provides a lot of options and further specialization for how to spec out a character since now companions are also customizable and outside of a few minor bugs like the pathfinding the robot crafting works surprisingly well ultimate Ron is certainly fun and at ten dollars it's worth getting for die-hard fans who want to see the extra elements and maybe the accompanying side quests for fallout 4 but for casual players and people who'd rather wait around a bit we would definitely suggest considering waiting until a sale and for the time being just install robot home defense which is a mod available on Nexus mod and check our channel for a fallout for modding overhaul video where we talk about some other robot mods and other types of mods that will expand the experience of course for free so that is all for this quick review of fallout 4 is that new automatron dlc our sincere thanks of course to staffer Michael Kern's who wrote the review and is published on the website hit the link of description below for that and also helped with producing the script for the video so as always check out the patreon link post well video if you want to help us out directly thank you for watching and I'll see you all next time
