Ideas for New DLC (NO SPOILERS)

Post » Sat Jan 16, 2016 3:49 pm

I would personally like to explore the enclave. A cool way to set this up would be to have it as post-game content. One day, while relaxing in sanctuary, the enclave make a huge entrance by blowing a hole into the side of The Castle. While listening to the Freedom Radio the Lone Survivior is appalled by what he hears: dieing men, large explosions, and cries for help. Preston charges into the lone wanderers room and tells the protagonist to gear up, thus starting a series of quest to repel the Enclave. This could further be changed by having the main companion n form the differnt factions tell you suit up based off of which faction you chose.

Another cool idea would be to have another type of settlement requests: search(or something much cooler). In this mode, a synth is hiding among one of your settlements, and you have to go throughout your settlements, trying to find the synth.

Lastly, like everyone else I would love way more settlement options. I played the main story line, and tons of side quests. I got as far as tracking down a special synth (not the detective...) and tried to go back to the quests but always got side tracked by building. I learned one thing: building is tedious. However, the thing that kept me from building large settlement is the components required. So, a new mode where you get unlimited resources and accesses to all perks (w/o being able To get trophies, of course) so that we can just build. And a terrain mode. Dear god include a terrain mode. I'm so tired of my fences half floating in mid air and half on the ground. It kills the immersion. A smooth way to incoporate this is to have to collect shovels and pick axes to modify the terrain. To pair with this new feature they should add some new pieces, like the institute pieces, pre war pieces etc. or even a polished set of items. You have to admit, it is kinda weird that you break something down to its purest form, then when you reassemble it its rusty and whatnot.

I'm just going to be blunt... For this DLC idea has been posted more than 5 times already. No one wants a big Enclave DLC. The Enclave have been destroyed 4 times now.


Leave. Them. Alone.


They are gone and have no place being Ex-Machinad back to life. They can maybe have a very small side appearance being "The last survivors" but that's it. No busting down forts, no big invasions, it's just an overdone and dull idea.


Now the Legion showing up in the Common Wealth... THAT would be interesting. They haven't had a cameo yet.

I'd like to see a Super-Mutant DLC: the Sole Survivor is infected with FEV and explores a mutant-dominated region (to the South?) embarking on a quest which explores the nature of Super Mutants. At the end of the quest the Sole Survivor would be cured, but potentially left with an ability to "shapeshift" between human and super-mutant form.



Another idea is a psyker-oriented DLC, in which the Sole Survivor discovers he has latent psychic powers.



Both are key elements of Fallout 1, and have been present in every other Fallout game, but the PC has never been able to actually PLAY as a super-mutant or psyker, so I think those would be great ways to do something new while still keeping thematically consistent with the world of Fallout.

Both those ideas sound interesting!

Bar mods, this is the only way for power armor for dogmeat to happen.

How about a DLC that contains more content for the base game?


Assuming we have three more after the first, I'd personally like to see some kind of side quest DLC that makes all of the characters of the commonwealth even more real


and allow you to learn even more about them. I can understand that some people would much rather see new content outside of the commonwealth,


but I personally think there is more Bethesda can do with the commonwealth,


as well as adding brand new locations with the other DLC. Dunno if they'd do something like that, but hey who knows?
