This is no longer new, the latest Fallout 4 DLC, titled Far Harbor, has been officially available since May 19 and will give you a most ... synthetic experience! As always, the preview is relatively spoiler-free, just the basics of what we're getting into, but otherwise no significant reveal!
Like the previous DLC of the game, applying the DLC to your game will automatically grant us a new quest at the top of the journal, as often it is a radio to listen to, and this time it is that of the detective agency Valentine. A message from Ellie loops and asks us directly to go to the agency.
We have a request of a fisherman living on the edge of the Commonwealth by the name of Kenji Nakano. He did not wish to give details to the agency but he seemed worried and will only give details at home, all that remains is to go there!
After a good walk and beautiful landscapes (I couldn't resist capturing a few, the house is Kenji's), we finally arrive at the fisherman's house.
Even before entering the house, Ellie's hypothesis is confirmed since we hear Nakano talking about his missing girl, which he will confirm to us later. The latter, Kasumi, is particularly fond of fixing things, such as her latest project, a radio, which then put her in contact with a bad person who would have kidnapped her, according to her father, or who would have run away somewhere. leaves of his own free will, according to a hypothesis of his mother.
Anyway, we need to know more about where she may have been. We will have to search the house a bit, where we will find various holotapes to find out more about Kasumi and her family, but it is in the boathouse, just north of the house, that we will find the last holotape. that she recorded.
In this one, we learn that she is coming into contact with a synthetic who teaches him thatfurther north there is a welcoming land for syntheticsCalled Far Harbor, where they will be accepted for who they are. In particular, this made Kasumi think a lot, who does not remember her childhood and who still has a strange dream that she describes in one of the previous holotapes. So she decided to go up there to find out more.
In short, we're going to talk to her parents, who seem to defend the idea that she is human, and who ask us to go find her by taking one of their boats. On the way to Far Harbor!
We are greeted by Avery and Allen and learn that we are not particularly welcome since they are in a difficult period and some visitors are rather malicious. What kind of worries does the city face? Well we will quickly find out because we are interrupted in our conversation by an alarm: the city is attacked ... by "Gobeurs"! After defeating the attackers, we are informed by Avery that recently, a fog and its creatures have driven them from their island.
It is now that the adventure in the island will really begin. It should be noted that the island is a completely separate region and it is gigantic ! Expect a good set of quests including quite a few secondary ones, especially to help the inhabitants of the island regain its former prosperity.
Coming back to our sheep, we learn where Kasumi went, the town on the island where the synthetics found refuge, Acadia. To get there, we will need the help of Old Longfellow who will get us there. Once in Acadia, we will unlock him as a companion.
Once in Acadia, you are greeted by DiMA, who describes himself as the "old man on the mountain". He confirms that this is where the synthetics find refuge to live in peace, and that they are not a threat. Also, Kasumi is there.
Without saying more about the story around Kasumi, this one will teach us thatthere is a much bigger secret that may interest us in Far Harbor, in particular ... that DiMA might want to destroy the whole island, according to information it would have found ...
In short, we will stop there for this preview which already shows you quite well the background of what awaits you in Far Harbor! I didn't even mention everything we found, but the island should have its fair share of surprises in store for you, between the humans helping against the fog and its creatures, the synthetics and the big secret, a cult of children of Atom, etc.
Unlike Automatron or Wasteland Workshop, we are therefore entitled to a DLC that does not add a simple small quest line or a few nice features, but really a big new area filled with quests and intrigue which should, from what I could see, occupy you a good thirty hours !
