Far Harbor is a masterpiece. It builds upon everything Fallout 4 tried to do and does it even better.

The factions are a joy to interact with. My personal favourite is the Children of Atom, a returning religion/theme from Fallout 3 but fully fleshed out here; Not only does it fit in perfectly to the Fallout lore and universe but presents the question of religion in Fallout; How would some people deal with a post-apocalypse? They create a new religion and gain comfort in it.

The quests and levels gave me some serious OG Deus Vibes in its quest design; (Special shoutout the the Sub base!) there are numerous ways to handle the three factions and quests presented here. There's many moral quandries laid out too, all extending from Fallout 4. At point is a Synth sentient? Do they deserve freedom? Annihilation? That's entirely up to you.

Oh, and those puzzles in this DLC everyone complains about, by the way?

...My friend, I am a Shin Megami Tensei enjoyer. Those puzzles are nothing!
