This is fucking garbage.

You arrive at Far Harbor to meet the wonderfully well written characters Captain Avery and Allen. Allen, a white male, immediately threatens you because you're an outsider. That would make sense, except that Far Harbor is a FUCKING PORT. OUTSIDERS PROBABLY SHOW UP ALL THE FUCKING TIME. You soon learn that Allen's hostility and xenophobia are meant to be character faults in the culture of Far Harbor--he hates the nearby colony of synths, who, as Fallout has made very clear, are sapient and not evil, but a target of 'racism' (there's an underground railroad FFS). Allen continues acting like 'Creative Writing 101 Dickhead' while you travel to Acadia, a synth REFUGEE COLONY, where you meet DiMA (name never explained btw) who proceeds to drop LE EPIC TWIST by insinuating that you are a synth, to which you can reply that no, you aren't a synth, to which he says 'well what's your earliest memory?' In a stunning moment of writing genius, Far Harbor forgets that your character was either canonically a lawyer or a soldier in the past and doesn't allow you to mention this, instead only allowing you to mention the beginning of the game. (Wow Todd, this is just as good as Bioshock's writing! 10/10 from IGN!) Again, that would be fine, except that when you say that DiMA says "curious how you don't remember anything before that, hmmm?" as if that in itself casts doubt onto whether or not you are a human. At this point, we realize that the writers forgot A MAJOR PLOT POINT from the main game being that synths are POST WAR technology and that the MC and Shaun's DNA are important for synth research because they have PRE-WAR DNA.

So we're off to a great start.

Continued.

DiMA then tells you (why did we come to Far Harbor again by the way?) to go and get his memories back from the Children of Atom, who are so thinly written as religious maniacs that I'm not going to even bother criticizing them. It turns out that DiMAs memories are 5 MINECRAFT TOWER DEFENSE MINIGAMES IN THE SHITTY, BUGGY SETTLEMENT BUILDING UI. After getting DiMAs memories back it's revealed that Captain Avery was actually murdered and replaced with a synth by DiMA, which doesn't make sense because not only can no one but The Institute make synths, but it makes Allen, our racist xenophobic dickhead character THE ONLY ONE WHO WAS FUCKING RIGHT ABOUT ANYTHING THE ENTIRE FUCKING TIME. If you then proceed with Allen's questline you kill Avery and all the synth REFUGEES at Acadia. THEN IT'S OVER. YOUR CHARACTER BARELY TALKS TO ALLEN AND CAN HARDLY SYMPATHIZE WITH HIM BECAUSE HE'S SUCH A FUCKING SHIT WRITTEN CHARACTER.

The port clearly hasn't seen much activity and it's outsiders to far harbors native community that Allen (and other natives) suspects are the cause of the islands current issues.

Beyond that you're walking around asking questions instead of hawking wares like a trader and if you were a trader, it's likely they'd be familiar with you anyway.

>>338979934
DiMA has a line about the peace between Acadia and Far Harbor being based in the fact that Far Harbor is a link to the outside world.

>>338980080
Not him as well, but since they have beef with the Children of Atom, I can't imagine them being too friendly with inviting anyone in, especially more Children of Atom missionaries and sympathizers.

Synths are opressed feminist transgender misunderstood and opressed by the white man. Far Harbor is a beautiful story about TOLERANCE and ACCEPTATION.

I thought the PC being a synth was an interesting thing. If you answer yes, DiMA brings up that memories can be fabricated, and as an example cites every other Synths that thinks they're human as well.

Hell, it could be very possible that your character is a synth given certain contexts in during the game (no recollection of actual memories prior to the bombs, memory diving into a synthetic brain, etc). The entire point was that Synths can't even tell if they're Synths. And the only way to discern them otherwise is to either kill them or use a pass phrase.
>>
>>338979437

Mods still haven't fixed it. The DLC has been a shitshow even worse than Oblivion. This is the first Bethesda RPG where I actually regret buying the game and DLC. Normally the games are some degree of fucked up but mods fix them to the point where I have fun, but Fallout 4 has just been a constant source of disappointment. I'm considering just uninstalling before finishing Far Harbor and buying Overwatch for $40 from Battle.net, a steal at twice the price.

>>
>>338979437
For me, the biggest problem has nothing to do with the story. The DLC has only a single 'set piece', by which I mean when you first show up at the island and have to defend it against an onslaught of monsters with the help of the townspeople. The entire rest of the DLC consists of visiting locations and clearing them out as per normal dungeons/locations. There is literally no climax; you make a decision, some things go boom or not at all, and people talk to you mildly differently. That's it.
>>
>>338982630

Most of this is either misleading or outright false. Allen hates the Child of Atom, DiMA says that you COULD be a synth, but it's just as likely you aren't and leaves it up for you to decide. DiMA is also kind of an asshole who has blood on his hands, and lies about a whole bunch of stuff. Many "synths" in Acadia aren't actually synths, including the girl you're sent to find.

No, limited memory capacity. Nick's centuries old and as a prototype synth can only remember so much. That's why DiMA is covered in wiring and shit, to increase his mental capacity.
This is actually a lie, DiMA outright attacked Nick, modified his memory, and left him in a dumpster to die.

This is why waiting for the inevitable GOTY edition when all the DLCs come out. I played like 40 hours of the base game thanks to a friend letting me borrow it, but I'm not spending more time till I've got it on PC with the DLC and all the mods I could want.

No, but you might find a pistol.
Face it, homemade guns were established to be a thing prior to the bombs falling, it would actually make sense for people to put them in a safe or somewhere, even during the pre-war era.

From a real world writing standpoint it's a shitty asspull, on the lines of "it was a dream the whole time", given that the entire main quest of the game is about finding your biological son and that there's absolutely nothing else that would suggest you were a synth.

That looks janky as fuck. Clothing, especially a plain old zip up vault suit, wouldn't do that with monster tits.

To be fair though, Synths replacing people without anyone realizing is meant to be a big deal. So having the PC 'be' a Synth is ok in my book.

Yeah but there's literally no reason to use an "unreliable narrator" unless the unreliability plays into the narrative.

There is no "MC was a synth the whole time" narrative. It doesn't make sense from a writing perspective because there is no gratification. No other character, including the main character, ever mentions that the MC might have been a synth and that the entire plot may have been a lie. It's completely isolated to a single conversation to make pseudointellectual teens think its deep.

The Fog is a local phenomenon of radiation that changes how much land it covers over time. It fucks with the mind, somehow. There's also a source of implied prophetic visions for supernatural wooooooing.

I mean you could be a synth along the same line as Nick. Direct memory transplants.
I don't get why no one is talking about that idea. Am I missing something? Your character would still have all his memories and personality. They could fit it in by saying at some point they took you out of cryo without waking you and built a synthetic replica
