Oh, ok. Well I never realized that the framerate was bad so now wonder that I didn't feel it getting better.
But the draw distance got sooo much better, it's incredible.
EDIT: Just found out that Robots can be used like settlers, very cool. Think I'll use some of them for supply lines

It's decent. Its pretty much equivalent to Operation Anchorage. Although IMO, slightly below since OA at least gave you a kickass armor set at the end. I don't feel that Automatron gives you any truly dominating loot.
BUT, making robot mods is a ton of fun.

My biggest criticism of the DLC (and really Fallout 4 in general) is that they made the game almost exclusively focused on combat. The final battle was actually pretty frustrating as it would have been an excellent opportunity to utilize your speech skills.
In New Vegas so many fights could be talked out of.

As far as I see the Robot Armor is extremely good. It ways a lot though. But spontaneously I would say it's the best armor set in the game right?
Looks cool too

Hm well yes it might not be quite pretty.
I thought I was going to get a little saturated by the game. Questing wasn't that fun recently. I'm playing that game now since launch and haven't really been playing anything else.
But I just wandered around a little and I realized that this game is soooo good just wandering around. Not making quests, just going around and explore everything.
Just been to the Boston Mayoral Shelter. This place is so amazing and a perfect example what makes this game so great. It's not the quests and big storys, it's the little storys in the game, the wandering and the combat.
I actually liked that part.
I wish it had been a bigger handicap though. It was a really easy choice to make as it stands. 10 points off your health is negligible. 10% would've made me really think about it.

Does wearing power armor prevent you from contracting it? I don't remember ever getting it.
Yeah it's really not that big of a deal. But they could of made it more clear that
by giving the cure away you wouldn't be able to cure yourself permanently. I didn't even know i had the disease in the first place. I hate knowing i have -10 health and can't do anything about it.
It doesn't say it in the effects screen?
Power armor may make it less likely to catch it, as well as a high endurance. Maybe you just got lucky.
I did a quick experiment of making a robot and sending it to a settlement and it appeared to work as a settler. I read somewhere that they can be assigned to all jobs except for shopkeeper.
I'm a bit late into the fallout 4 party but so far I'm just about played about 3 days worth and just did the hunter/hunted achievement. I haven't noticed much freezing during weapons swap but I do noticed the drops running through dense foggy forests and in small rooms which annoys me somewhat. My biggest complaint is the fast traveling and the loading seems to feel like it takes well over a minute to load. I currently run mine through external HDD but I am thinking of getting a cheap 250 gig SSD just for Bethesda games.
I'm enchanted and disenchanted with this game mainly because of those bethesda glitches.
When that epic battle music starts the heart beats a lil' faster!

Well, made my character for Survival, might as well do a rehearsal run before it comes out for real and try out Automatron.
Now, I give you all a guess to figure out who this is and thus, which faction I'm going with.

Looks like Ben Affleck. You're going to become The Silver Shroud.
256 gig is the minimum requirement for an external HD for the X1... i learned that the hard way...
That being said, once i got my 500gig SSD i saw some nice improvements in the loading speed. Definitely worth it

Not linked to the main story at all, It's only there for your personal enjoyment.
The main advantage to having a large amount of settlements is that the signal flare becomes more reliable, and you'll have a squad of Minutemen at your location anywhere on the map. It becomes very helpful during the more tense firefights.
Apart from whatever quests require you to do stuff, like the initial stuff in Sanctuary Hills and occasionally having to build just one or two things for a faction somewhere, there's almost no story involvement. It is a fun distraction though, as all the mega-settlement builders out there can attest.
Unrelated, but had a funny bug occur. Not sure if it was Automatron-related, but went to a settlement that was under attack by Mechanist robots (seems that for the moment, they're the antagonists in every settlement attack) and the hostile Mr. Gutsy that always respawns just west of Finch Farm had joined in, but somehow glitched underground. I had armed Finch Farm's settlers with 5 gauss rifles, several miniguns, and other heavy weaponry, in addition to the multitude of turrets. It was amusing watching the massive amount of fire being poured into the ground ineffectually. I'm not sure if the Mr. Gutsy was doing it, or if friendly fire can do it, but either way, the entire farm's supply of crops got completely shredded in the process.
Do the settlements need to be successful or just exist to get these squads? I've really only made improvements to a few of them and the Castle while the rest only have 2 to 3 people. There are also a few places, like Jamaica Plain, that I've cleared but don't think have any people in them.
Hopefully they finally fixed my glitched out Preston. :/

It's only for Xbox One, fixes a minor issue but nothing more.
Also, I'm legit disappointed I can't build an Eyebot companion with Automatron. All I wanted was to build an Eyebot called RUD-E...
I found a complete set of X1 power armor in the Rust Devil area. I only had the X1 helmet before that and I'm level 65. I was pretty happy about it.

I'm enjoying the Assaultron DLC. Taking it slow and not fast traveling, nice robot companion. Was also entertained by the
(or something to that effect). Have gotten a little challenge out of it, hard difficulty I think around 70. Nothing that stopped me more than once except for one surprise moment where I needed to beat feet for space or be insta-killed.
DLC also earns bonus points for the new holotape videogame you get
. Will probably finish tonight then build stuff for fun...oh yeah, nice new weapons and armor to be found as well.

The settlements just needs to exist, though I'm not sure if it works with empty settlements. The flares don't use up your actual settlers either, so you don't need to worry about the patrols dying and leaving you with a diminished population.

I hate the power armor though. I pretty much never use it.

Once you are level 15, It will pop up automatically. It will be a quest telling you to listen to a caravan distress signal.
theres the problem, I am only 10

Regarding a character in the new expansion...
Would Jezebel count as an homage to GLaDOS, or is it an outright rip off?

My Endurance is maxed and I was wearing MKVI X-01 Power Armor the entire time.

I'm level 51 and I already got 1 1/2 complete X1 power sets before I found the one in that area. Was still nice to find a complete one too.
I like the heads you can put on your automatrons.
Just threw that one together to see the options, you can make far more bizarre looking things, like giving that same robot a Mr. Handy thruster instead of the Sentry legs. In case it's not obvious, it is sporting dual Fat Man launchers on its shoulders in addition to its explosive minigun arms.

If you are expecting anything like New Vegas or even a competent RPG you'll be disappointed. It has even less story choices than Mass Effect 3.
It's pretty amazing at everything it tried to do except telling a story. Shithouse at that. And most of what it was trying to do different to its predecessors is not what I was hoping for or wishing for. But for the most part (writing aside) I think they probably did really well at the things they were trying to do. Put it this way. I think it's probably the weakest of the whole series, with so many major structural and functional design issues I've lost track, but I've already sunk 100's of hours in, and expect many more once the rest of the DLC and GECK are released.

So where in the game can I get plastic surgery? It must be in the game right, I thought I saw it on a loading screen mentioned. Haven't found anything tho. Would like to do it because I don't really like the look of my char anymore.

Yeah, I just like to pretend it doesn't carry the name Fallout. It is still really fun.
It is somewhere in Diamond City I believe.

Story is shit, but I think everything else is great. It's the most fun I've had with combat in the series, which is good since that's what the game mostly is. It's no New Vegas but way better than 3. Not sure how I'd rank it compared to the first two.
Yeah. I like the game better than fallout 3 but it is the fallout with the least fallout soul of the main games. Also, it's weak in even stuff I think Bethesda did good with 3. Like the vaults have lost why they were so fun. No unraveling a creepy story as you delve deeper into the vault. I've found a few dungeons that are still good that way, the hallucinegenic building is a taste of when they do a fallout "dungeon" well. Also the state capital building was fun though the story ends up not having much of a point. When I say story I mean the notes you find that tell a story of the past and unravels more as you find more notes.
So yeah, as a game it's great. As a Fallout, it kinda falls short
. And I say it falls between borderlands 2 and fallout 3 in how much an rpg it is. It's still more of one than borderlands 2 but it is less rpg like than even 3.
