Playing Far Harbor / Nuka World without finishing the main quest

[glupschipup]

i heard that finishing the main quest has influence on those 2 DLCs,
should i do that before?

can someone tell me the influence as spoiler free as possible?

kinda wanted to play far harbor now but want to get the best experience

Uhh...Raiders are either your home or your enemies

well I did far harbor several times in conversation the factions will appear. I did it with the Bos and you'll get a remark that you're in the BOS same with the institute and also the railroad. If you go mid main quest you can say that you're in 3 or even 4 factions (not sure about MM).

In nuka world cage makes a remark that you're in the bos or other faction.

The change aint major (a little line here and there) and you actually get more if you don't pass the faction branche (choosing who to help) near the end game. Bring the companion refered in the quest for far arbour and you're set.

For the 1000th time it doesn't affect nothing after the story is completed, just by siding with any faction except the Minuteman will allow for extra stuff in Far Harbor, it's sort of a big deal if you side with the synths in FH

if you joined the BoS or the RR or the Institute, extra objectives will appear when you enter Far harbor the first time that will involve each of any faction you decided to bring in.

It will change the cards based on their beliefs... BoS wants to destroy all synths, so you know what will happen to Acadia... Railroad wants to keep synths safe, you know what will happen to Acadia... Institute wants to capture their product, you know what will happen to Acadia...

It's all around Acadia (the synth base in far harbor) and the 3 factions in the commonwealth, nothign else

All of this can be kept hidden from them by ignoring those misc objectives. and it's suggested to do so untill a certain time.

As for Nuka world I can't tell much, I was told it affects the commonwealth in a certain way but not the story...Not the storyline.

Yes

i want to side with the railroad,
do i have to get to a certain point in the questlines of the 3 main factions so it has a impact on FH?

Far Harbor only needs Vince Valentine rescued

Nuka World requires Base Game storyline to be complete to start its mission

I havn't tested if the nuka world tram station can be accessed before that or not
