Automatron

[Дремора Лорд]

1)Does Inspirational work for robots?
2)I thought the update would give the DLC more popularity to AUtomatron, as more content could be added, but it seems to have been bypassed. There are no plasma weapons, there are no Enclave coloring pages either, and robots are losing relevance because they do not have auto-levels as opponents.
Is there any hope that they will fix it?

1. Yes, all companions

2. Hahaha I hope you're joking.

Worst DLC in the game btw. Idk who thought it would be great if you were randomly attacked every 5 minutes by groups of robots. But yay, Bethesda.

I like the robot builder, it's my favorite thing in 4 parts.

Automatron is a double-edged sword. On one hand it gives you access to wicked robot provisioners and Assaultron companion, one of most dreaded things that can appear as enemy, also you can turn Codsworth into whatever you want... on other hand it can replace majority of random encounters with Rust Devils, even the peaceful ones.
Want to meet The Scribe/Doc Anderson/Smiling Larry? Nope, Rust Devils.
Expecting another round of Gunners vs. Children of Atom? Nope, Rust Devils.

You DO realize that part of the content of the DLC right? Its up to you to stop those attacks, and save the "every 5 minutes" hyperbole

Honestly contraptions, wasteland workshop and vault tec are far worse than automatron.

All that crap should’ve just been in the base game it’s just more settlement crap nothing that expands the actual gameplay in any way shape or form.

Automatron has a story and makes playing more intelligent characters fun.

Personally, I create a robot named X04, paint it black, give the original voice acting of the robot guard and a couple of miniguns, imagining that I am a soldier of the Enclave

If the devs release a game, and then come up with a cool idea a year later, should they shelf the idea since it wasn't included in the base game?

It doesn’t have to be dlc.

They literally just proved that with the recent enclave update.

Well, I for example always give Jezebel a bare minimum parts - Thruster and robobrain torso and make her a provisioner.
Also I plan to turn Ada on this playthrough into something on par with Rust Devil's Gorgons. For now she has claw and drill which makes her random finisher against low level mooks look very brutal. Double Shishkebab would be even more brutal.

Where do you draw the line? The DLC was far bigger than the Enclave update.

It really wasn’t as contraptions, wasteland workshop, vault tech as well as the enclave update all essentially did the same thing.

It just miscellaneously added crap into the game. There’s no story or expansion onto the initial gameplay experience.

Even fallout 3 had one good dlc that did this through broken Steele it.

Every single one of new Vegas dlc expanded the base gameplay.

This is what good dlc is.

Fallout 4 only had 3 dlc that were actually dlc as they had all expanded base gameplay in some way shape or form.

Automatron expanded intelligent playstyles if nothing else

Nuca world and far harbor all added new perks to every skill tree that could allow you to customize certain playstyles further.

Contraption, wasteland and vault tec as well as the enclave update all it is just more crap they can add at any time.
