I don't really care ,I will just never pay money for something that I don't know anything about,especially if the game is not even released.

This was actually a pretty important topic to get so many people riled up about it. My take on the matter is that I don't trust Bethesda with DLC. They've made some good stuff and some bad stuff. They don't get an automatic pass on the DLC from me. I also know that I am not forced to buy it before I know what's in it. So I'm not entirely sure why there is such angst over this. Simple wait and see. Vote with your dollars. What Bethesda typically does with DLC is open up options for the modding community. Each DLC for Skyrim added more options for modders to use in their mods. Eventually, I'm going to get the Season Pass simply so I will have access to the mods that will inevitably require them. It's rather a brilliant strategy if you ask me.
In the end, if I can get the 1,800+ hours out of Fallout 4 that I got out of Skyrim, then the complete package (~$90 US) is well worth it to me. My roughly $110 spent on Skyrim with the DLCs bought individually comes out to about $0.06 per hour of entertainment. I call that value.
Exactly. If some idiot or other feels compelled to give money away that's their prerogative. I'll wait and see. If/when BGS announces what's included in the season pass and it interests me then I'll sign up. If it doesn't then I'll buy DLC a la carte. It's that simple.
But honestly, investing in season passes with a big [censored] question mark attached is just dumb. Again, not my prerogative, but I call them how I see it. It sounds like the majority of the people complaining feel compelled to buy. Maybe their energy would be better spent in asking BGS the size/amount of content included in the season pass.
This times 1000! After all... THIS IS SPART.... errr... THIS IS
I can understand rage against the Batman Arkham Knight DLC (which was overpriced and full of crap) but Bethesda haven't steered us wrong yet. I loved all of the Fallout 3 DLC. Only Fallout DLC I didn't like was in New Vegas (Dead Money) but then to counter it there was the DLC that I really loved for some reason (Honest Hearts).
Will I be paying for the DLC before it is ready... Yup! Am I angry at Bethesda announcing a Season Pass?... NOPE!
Rage On.
There IS one thing that drives me nuts though. I'm stupidly angry at anyone for putting the shortcut name as "FO4". Why should I be angry I hear you ask... PEOPLE, THE WORD FALLOUT IS ONE WORD, NOT TWO...
"Fall Out" and "Fallout" are two completely different things. One happens when you accidentally trip and go through a window (or what happens when you don't get along with someone... and then they fall out the window hehe) and the other is when you detonate a thermonuclear device near the ground. Only the one of those is applicable to this game. If you want to shorten the name then USE "F4".... but the name is pretty short anyway and only lazy gits (and twatter users shorten already short words) need to crop the English language down to code words. Grrrrrrrrr
Rage Off. (sorry.... it just niggles the hell out of me when I read "Fall Out 4" instead of "Fallout 4")

You obviously aren't here... you fell out of the forum.
Which might be what Bethesda is doing as well - they promised that patches will not only fix bugs but add new content as well. Although obviously the major content will be saved for DLC.
I think by now we all pretty much agree that it's reasonable to not want to buy the season pass, but not reasonable to be upset by its existence or announcement. Moving along...
I just also hope I can rename DogMeat to BaconFarts.
FO4 please. Have you even tried to Google F4?
It's a long vid, but I thought these guys made some exellect comments about the good/bad of the season pass.

Well, Witcher 3 has 16 DLC and all are free! so what now? do you think these money grabers political correct hypocrites will give 16 DLCs for free? do you think it will give you 1?
... political correct hypocrites? You're going to have to explain that part to me.
I'd much rather just pay the extra to get them one at a time. Saving ten bucks over seven months seems pointless when I don't even know what I'm buying.
Every time I hear someone say they will boycotting/not purchasing Fo4 because of a feature they disagree with, I am reminded of this http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/11/gam_boycottfail_580-1258143415.jpg.
Look, I love CDPR and TW3, but you do know that BSG gave away "free DLC" in their Skyrim patches right? They just didn't label and quantify them. It was more like "we patched in a bunch of random awesome [censored] for you guys, have fun".
And BSG and political correctness... Last I checked they aren't those other guys from Canada. If you're talking about the ability to "romance" anyone, grow the eff up. It has no bearing on your game unless you want it to... unlike those other guys from Canada.
And DLC that seems to mostly comprise stuff that should have been in at launch (Finishing moves, New Game Plus), costumes or a single quest are so totally awesome and they were so super generous giving us those bits of insignificance for free! *

Judging by the Bethesda's DLC's quality (For Morrowind i only liked Bloodmoon. for Oblivion - Shivering Isles, For Fallout 3 - Point Lookout, for Skyrim - only Dragonborn) i definitely won't get a season pass.
My only concern though is that there will be massive mods (like Project Nevada for New Vegas) that might require all the DLC's, then i will wait for a steam sale to get the rest of the DLC's.
Buzzwords! Feel the wrath of my buzzwords!
I really wouldn't call it "a bunch." Kill cams that were broken, mounted combat that didn't work for magic, Legendary Skills and... I'm pretty sure that's it? Not exactly a windfall of new content. Not that I don't appreciate it, I just think you're overselling it.
Screw the season pass, what if they only release two worthwhile DLCs again? I'll do what I always do, wait until all the DLC have been released and then grab them in a sale.
Those who ordinarily purchase any Bethesda DLC as soon as it comes out deserve a reward for their unfaltering support of Bethesda. A season pass is the only method I can think of for giving those fans a discount exclusively for them.
Knowing that mods are likely going to be dependent on DLC some of the time, just spending the $30 now seems probably the best deal ...at least for PC. [...maybe XB1 also]
