Could you imagine a map 4 times as big as the island, with it's own 40 hour story line? rather than "Fallout 4: Far Harbor" we should have gotten "Fallout: Far Harbor".
40 hours of dialogue and story? Or 40 hours of dialogue, story, and gameplay/exploration? Because if its the latter, then that's ridiculously short and is what an expansion should be, not a full game.
Story-wise, I liked the awkward irony of my character being the director of the Institute while all the Synths were deathly afraid of being discovered by the Institute.
@@LACNYCDL What dialogue? There is no freedom in choice in what the character says. The most blatantly obvious topics of discussion are completely absent in the main game and all its DLCs. I am in fucking Maine and I can't have a conversation with a single person about what the Commonwealth is truly like. I can bring companions and can't talk to them about anything they see/experience in Far Harbor. Even Nick's dialogue is limited. In the main game, major events can occur and I am unable to talk about them to anyone. Bethesda has downgraded their writing and dialogue with every subsequent game. Fallout 4 had next to no story and dialogue. Fallout 76 had literally none. I WANT A FUCKING RPG with combat being a bonus feature. I don't want Call of Duty: Fallout.
@@rangopistacho6928 Nobody is at your mercy as Institute director. The developers were too dumb and lazy to write anything into the game to allow players to utilize their position as Minutemen General, Railroad agent, Brotherhood of Steel Sentinel, or Institute Director. The game is dogshit.
i dragged my wife on a Bar Harbor vacation just to see how it actually looks. Its still amazing to me how the New England vibe comes through so accurately even through Fallouts' post apocalyptic filter. Best fallout moments.
If I had a nickel for every time a Fallout game had a DLC with a great story and atmosphere that involved deadly fog, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
Dev 1: Okay guys. How do we make Fallout's irradiated water scary again? Dev 2: Um, radioactive thunderstorms? Dev 1: Done it already. Dev 2: Snow? Dev 1: Don't be ridiculous. Dev 2: I don't know, um... Radioactive... fog? Dev 1: *That's the spice.*
00:00 - Welcome To Far Harbor 01:03 - Our Island 05:07 - The Fog Gets To You 09:05 - An Island Of Fog 13:04 - Mysteries Of The Fog 17:15 - The Children Of Atom 19:21 - Mother Of Atom 23:00 - Lost Memories Found 24:25 - Peace Is Possible
The Fog gets to you - Damn this track perfectly describes the mysterious vibe and dangerous atmosphere of that island. Even when I was a highly leveled character, I was literally afraid of every suspicious sound I heard in a close distance. This is one of the best DLC I ever played in that franchise.
"Mother Of Atom" Has to be one of my favourite soundtracks of all time. their's just something about it... It's off, but in a good way. I really can't describe it, but I'm sure that others feel this way too.
I'm not aware of any other video game (or even movie??) that really explored an American coastal atmosphere like this, pulling out the eerie undertones of that damp, salty landscape and culture. It feels so unique.
Crazy how good and atmospheric it is. The entire expansion is well above vanilla F4 experience. "Our island" is the best part. Very moody, atmospheric, chilled, distant, mysterious, grim, melancholic... All these things combined.
Far Harbour remade with a silent protagonist and full on NV style dialogue and perks would be god tier. The design, atmosphere and OST are too great to waste on Fallout 4. I end up only playing 4 for Far Harbour usually.
@@SuckMyCurry Yeah, maybe it could've worked as a spinoff, but they really needed to iron it out far more. Half of the time the conversations only lead to one outcome
hearing a really beautiful yet eerie and chilling theme like I fucked up after I betrayed Acadia and got the BOS to destroy it and Kasumi, then going back to her parents and lying...
Amazing OST and amazing DLC! Congratulations for the choice of inspiration - H. P. Lovecraft!!! The Insmouth resemblance is very much appreciated, lads!
Yes, Friend. Well, DiMA made mistakes. He murdered an innocent woman. But I believed in his intencions to save the island. Great DLC. Far Harbor was awesome.
Yes, friend. You are Totally right. DiMA is not a good guy. I decided to let him live, but he is dangerous. When I finish Far Harbor again in the future, DiMA will pay. Hahaha :)
What a great music! The begining of An island of fog always gives me some New Vegas vibe! The motive seems similar and that makes double feel if nostalgia!
I'm replaying Fallout 4 and I'm just waiting to get to a point in the Commonwealth where I can justify to myself going to Far Harbor. Plus, is it just me or does the beginning of "Island of Fog" reminds y'all of New Vegas as well?
Best not to dwell on the past there, buddy. We all have to deal with horrible shit almost on a daily bases for most, but it's what makes us stronger that counts. The rich and spoiled don't know what it's like to be tough like the rest of us. Keep going and only look back to avoid the same mistakes that were laid before you. Have a good one.
I remember first going to far harbor ig, holy shit it had some of the best ambience with fog and everything like that. It had that "fallout feel" cause I didn't watch any videos on what was lurking in there so had no idea what mutants were gonna be there!
Peace is Possible reminds me of waking up to an early sunrise over a sprawling forest, curled in the embrace of your lover, gazing out over the morning mist
I wish this score played while in the Commonwealth and not just while you're visiting far harbor. It has a lovely New England feel that the original Commonwealth ambient tracks just don't capture. Perhaps there's a mod.
Лучшее дополнение и лучшая часть из серии! Жаль что в 76м всё превратили в балаган и песочницу. Поигрался 2 года, прокачал до максимума и даже не вспоминаю и играть не тянет. А Fallout 4 и Far Harbor до сих пор вспоминаю с теплотой!
А я в своё время возненавидел 4 часть за, то что она сделала с серией, но Far harbor - для меня это пожалуй повод каждый раз возвращаться в Fallout 4 ❤
So much memory and nostalgia i can remember just listening the soundtrack alone. I lost time focusing building the settlements. Using countless of building Mods, let alone the adults mods 🤣🤣 Despite so many players hate the storyline, for me Fallout 4 is the most visual pleasing, combine with the top notch soundtracks.
The dlc is amazing The world exploration and evrything and conflict of the children of atom synths and harbor residents its the way how they interact and they way how protective
Far Harbor - I know FO4 was technically closer, but this DLC is the closest a Fallout game has come in FEEL to letting my play in the ruins of my home state (Rhode Island).
For you soundtrack geeks out there, are you not hearing the Good Will Hunting soundtrack in this? Makes sense, considering both stories take place in New England!
