What's the point of Nuka World?

[[S!C] ΞX Gloomwalker]

I'm doing a full Minutemen play, and I feel like NW flies in the face of that. I can't even liberate it and turn it into a settlement or trading hub or even get a satisfying ending if I choose to fight the raiders. The choice then becomes: Be a raider or go fox yourself.

So is there a point to it or have I missed something?

[worm_master]

well yes.. coz it has no real connection with the other dlc's, I think it's like Automaton standalone.

Think of Nuka World as a kind of backstory to the drink in FO4.

The story line in NW is actually a pretty good one for a Dystopian world setting

You realize you just asked what the point of an amusement park is, right?

[Cor.]

Fighting the raiders is kinda the point.

How far is a player willing to go, is up to the player.

I hit NW at the end of the BoS wiping out the institute. It was an easy choice for me.

Nuka world is about the backstory of nuka-cola with raiders to populate the area.
it'd be pretty boring without any antagonistic faction in nuka world.

also MM and nuka world aren't mutually exclusive. at most you lose preston as a companion if you complete nuka world via the raider path after you've joined the MM. if you do nuka world before joining the MM preston asks you to wipe out the raiders and is fine with being your companion.

There is literally no other reason.

More Raiders to kill is never a bad thing (unless its Automatron and the Rust Devils taking over EVERY Encounter point in the Commonwealth).

But Nukaworld. Truly is fun for the whole family....I mean if your family consists of a bunch of weirdos (I was listing all the followers but...it got judgmental).

If you want to be a Minuteman, just kill all the raiders and liberate nuka world. There are still many places to explore, enemies to kill, unique loot to find.... Settlements to build too, though generic, no minutemen can operate there.

Obviously the Nuka World DLC is more fleshed out if you decide to become a raider yourself, but that was the point, up until Nuka World you could only become a good settlement builder, not a raider.

You can always start a new playthrough with a raider character to roleplay, and instead become a raider and see more of what Nuka World has to offer.

you mean pack alpha
Damage taken is decreased by 25% (which is significantly better than increasing DR by 25%). The player character also deals 25% more damage with unarmed and melee attacks.

You can complete nuca world as a good guy and even use a lot of content nuca world offers.

Just doing so destroys the raider gang and all raider gameplay.

I just go in there and murder everyone

It's a flawed story design in many ways.

The park is fun, the overall sense of humour is OK, but the concept of you becoming overboss of the raider clans is very flimsy.

Also nearly everything in this DLC is unbalanced relative to the base game.

Basically the point is for evil playthroughs. The good guy route is dissatisfying and doesn't make much sense. Even less than the bad guy route.

And the raiders are all excruciating posers.

Title quote, "What's the point of Nuka World?" IMHO lots of extra fun gameplay hours, regardless of how you want to play things out. :)

Edit: and of course there is no reason to go there at all if you don't like it (won't impact the base game or any other DLCs if not, but will if you follow the whole main story line to completion).

You get every variety of Nuka Cola. Yum! Also, you can take over the Commonwealth for yourself and stop being Garvey's butt monkey.
