A lot of people don't believe that $50 is worth the content you get. I bought in early, so I was able to snag it for $30 instead of $50, but I would now gladly pay full price.

The main thing I see leveled at the DLC in general is that a lot of it is just add ons for building, which is true, and if that was all there was I would 100% agree with them, however it is not the only thing there.

Far Harbor and Nuka World add large areas to play around in, with interesting and deep interactions and quest lines as one would expect from the mainline game, in some cases even more interesting. Automaton's storyline is a bit shorter and doesn't add a huge area, but it also adds a huge system to the world that more than makes up for it.

Okay, so 2 classic fallout style DLC's and one that is comparable in a more modern fallout way, but still that is only 3 solid DLC's for a $50 price tag, plus a few others that are a little bit more limited. Understandable why people think that is not a good deal compared to the $5-10 great DLC from Fallout 3, however this is where I believe most people are not thinking about the differences between the old ones and the new ones.

Within each of the DLC's is also complete compatability with ALL of the systems from the others. Seamless ability to build in all of them, bring all of your companions, robots, etc etc. All of it. That is a lot more work than was previously needed. Combined with inflation (considering the old ones were made TEN years ago) I think it is absolutely a fair price. Fallout 4 is an immensely more complex game than Fallout 3 and/or New Vegas, and I'm sure cost a lot more to produce. I don't really fault the people for wanting their monies worth and comparing it to the old ones it seems less desirable, but when you really think about all the factors, I believe it is definitely worth it.

What is the bigger sway to my review, though, is that the DLC in and of itself is in fact excellently made. The only reason you will see for negative reviews is that it isn't worth the price. Every single one of the DLCs lives up to the quality we expect from Bethesda, regardless of if individuals think it is worth the price tag that is on them.
