Do I need DLC to enjoy the game?

[TheMidnightNarwhal]

I'm looking at buying the game on sale right now. I pirate it a long time ago but now I want to buy it and see all the DLC that is more expensive than the actual game lol.

no you dont need the dlcs to enjoy the game this is the first fallout game i have ever played and i love it and i dont have any dlcs i have mods though which make it much more fun :)

You will probably max everything from vanilla in 60 hours. If you don't get bored. So yes i think it's worth the money.

far harbor is the only decent dlc i would recommend getting, the rest are not really worth the price cost

[caesar_andy]

I bougth the season-pass during the sale. And jes, i would say it was worth the money. But i'm a very active settlement-builder, and the new stuff makes up for the high price then.

But as i told ... buy at sale, or by never.
Even i would not pay the full price.

Automatron is a cool sidequest sold as DLC, and Nuka World is basically an evil raider playthrough sold as DLC. The rest of the DLC packs are minor settlement focused things that really should have been included in the content DLC packs, and the Vault one would be cool if the NPC pathfinding wasn't hilariously broken.

The only one worth paying for is Far Harbor, the rest you should only pick up on sale for dirt cheap.

Does a sports car need fluffy dice?

Nuka World - big and shallow new map + raider outposts + annoying quests
Far Harbor - small map + annoying fog + average at best story
Automatron - short & easy quest + crafting useless robots
Vault 88 - medicore story + alots of elements of building settlements
All other DLCs - new elements of building settlements

My answer is - if you have exploited the main game to maximum new DLCs won't bring you a new quality unless you have an urgent feeling for another long playthrough. Some mods offer more content than full season pass so unless you are new to the game, but you know the franchise - I wouldn't recommend it.

No, you don't need it.
I mean, I'm closing the 120 hs of play without DLC and I'm having fun. And I haven't spoken with the detective dude yet. (Yes, I'm easily distracted and usually forget about the main quest like in The Elder Scroll games... oh look! A blue car!!)

Is it my understanding some DLCs fix the building your base issues right? I suppose there are mods out there that fix those issues though?

[lukasz]

Far Harbor, Nuka World and Automatron are related to quests. Other dlc's are pure cosmetic if im not mistaken. There is nothing wrong with building. There is not much to build without mods. You should get OCDecorator mod. It adds every possible item from the world to your building menu. So you can decorate your house any way you want. And it adds a machine that can modify any item so you can place it in your house. And there is some other mod that adds more walls floors and other object to your building menu. Without any mods you can make only metal and wooden structures. This one adds all kind of materials.

Dlc just adds some items that should be in the game when it was relased. You get more from mods then any dlc.

Ok then. I guess I will only get Far Harbor in the future if I don't have anything left to do and check out the building mods.
