prewar and the crafting has depth and genuine strategic choice, which will only be added to when modders get their mitts into it.Īnd that about wraps me up. The story is interesting enough for a smaller DLC pack, with some tidbits of information on evil experiments conducted by the US govt. With that said however, the simple addition of craftable companions is enough to warrant the price alone in my opinion, and is an even better deal for the season pass, and those who bought it at the reduced price. He sees you when you’re sleeping, he knows when you’re awake… They don’t see that I could become the new Boogeyman single-handedly, and instead they keep asking my machines with miniguns for arms with rockets on their shoulders to help them plant more gourds. The citizens, previously terrified of synths and the Institute don’t fear the man with a gun toting army of potentially insane robots, just because I shot some guys they didn’t like or helped them plant a gourd.
Despite defeating the Mechanist, and crafting machines that could give Liberty Prime a run for his money, it doesn’t affect the nuke-torn world that much. I think the greatest criticism of Automatron is one that has been leveled at many Bethesda games in the past, most notably Skyrim. As a secretive Railroad agent, I don’t find Ada the best co-spy. “I’m afraid can’t let you do that, Jacob”. Ada will secretly teleport to you if you get too far away if she is stuck, a nifty fix to this on Bethesda’s part, but it breaks the immersion considerably. Though this cruel prank is played by most companions in the Bethesda game worlds, it’s particularly troublesome here. Sure, she sticks around to defend Sanctuary for me but I have base defences and settlers armed with better gear than the entirety of the Brotherhood Synth Nazi brigade.Īnother issue I encountered was that once I’d beefed Ada up into the hulking monstrosity of a Mech she deserves to be, she was so huge that she had trouble fitting through doorways and kept trapping me in corners or not letting me past her. The rejection I could live with (though the emotional scars will ache each day until my death) but I wasted a fair amount of resource on her. One I encountered was that a character I rescued from a raider group known as the ‘Rust Devils’ in the quest-line didn’t want to be my companion once I’d given her a robot body armed to the teeth. There are issues, as with any Bethesda release. She’s just a poor Assaultron from a poor family! I’m sorry Preston – I’ve found someone else who needs my help. Here’s a before and after from my few hours with the game.
#Automatron silver shroud upgrade#
You can upgrade her too as the story progresses and as you find more mods. Melee options are extensive and allow for a tank companion choice for rangers and snipers.īethesda have also given us a new robotic companion known as Ada, who begins the journey as a simple Automatron struggling with a lust for revenge and justice. I updated mine with a Cryogun and gatling laser so he can finally trim those hedges and sweep dust away for good. Yes – you can finally upgrade your beloved robotic companion.
Want your robot to have inflatable wavy robobrain arms with a Mister Gutsy thruster and a Sentrybot’s head? Go right ahead!Īs you can see above, this is what became of my Codsworth. Each of these pieces can then be upgraded with differing armors, similar to how you upgrade power armor or weapons. Your Sole Survivor can craft the base automatron for a set amount of resource, and then switch and craft new pieces such as arms, servos, heads, legs, thrusters, weapons, backpieces, and shoulder mounts. What it does add, and in more depth than anyone thought may come from a smaller Bethesda DLC, is robot companion crafting. The much-hyped first DLC has landed and it’s meatier than expected.Īlthough the quest-line is short – roughly three hours – and despite the fact it doesn’t add any particularly new locations except for a rundown base reminiscent of the Railroad’s HQ, it doesn’t stop it from being a great addition to your wasteland scavenging experience, though make sure to level your crafting skills first!
