And honestly, I’m okay with my Ada and Codsworth being unholy and incredible abominations. The storyline is interesting, especially if you go into the final battle wearing the Silver Shroud outfit. Still, Fallout 4’s Automatron is rather great on the whole. It’s just a little troublesome to be at a higher level with a defined character and suddenly realize you have to deviate from your plan to get the most out of Automatron. You can even make good robots without these perks. Yes, the requirements make sense in terms of lore and give people an excuse to think more critically during character creation. While the Armorer and Blacksmith perks are forgiving when it comes to strength requirements, Science and Robotics Expert require intelligence 6 and 8, respectively. It makes me feel bad for all of the Fallout 4 players who decided to go with characters with low intelligence. I had a sneaky, charismatic, animal-friendly sort of character in mind when playing Fallout 4, and the Automatron DLC isn’t going to let me do all of the cool things unless I start leveling up like crazy and doing in a different direction. It’s why the robots in my screenshots above are, sadly, rather boring. While my heroine has a rank one Science perk, that part required a rank two Science perk and rank one Robotics Expert. That desire became even greater once I got back to Sanctuary and saw the Robobrain head added a Mesmetron attack that would boost her ranged damage. But, many of the best head, torso, arm, and leg modifications require someone to have varying levels of the Armorer, Blacksmith, Robotics Expert, and Science perks.įor example, after beating the A New Threat quest and defeating the Robobrain there, I knew I wanted that head on Ada or Codsworth. Even better, completing Automatron is incentivized, as you’ll collect new parts and such you can use to customize your robots after battling and scavenging off of these fallen foes. You can also build your own using an Assaultron, Mister Handy, Protectron, Robobrain, or Sentrybot as a base. Once repaired and placed, you can start customizing Ada or Codsworth. You get the item as a reward for completing the first quest in The Mechanist storyline. Though, that robot workbench may cause some a little bit of heartache. Combine that with being able to adjust how much she can carry at the robot workbench, and she’s pretty great. She’s willing to steal from other people, even if the items do have an owner, and she’s not going to judge your actions. The hacking and lockpicking mods mean she can help you get items if your skills aren’t high enough. That, combined with the ability to turn off her personality and having no opinion on anything you do, makes her one of the best followers for folks who want to head out into the wilderness without knowing what you’ll get up to. Since she’s a robot and the point of this add-on is customizing them, it means you can turn her into any sort of ally you want. She’s the new companion that will join after completing the first Fallout 4 Automatron quest, Mechanical Menace. Still, it is nice to know you have unusual things.Īda is a lot of fun too. Handy model on a table I picked up there on a table at my settlement, but it fell through to the ground. The only problem with those are, I can’t seem to display them. Since I’m big on decorating my settlements by putting items like lunchboxes and such out, the Restoring Order mission at RobCo’s sales and service center was a dream, due to all the robot models. There’s a Tesla Science Magazine in the General Atomics Factory, which is appreciated. You’ll find tons of copper and steel sources, circuit boards, some nuclear materials, adhesive, and fusion cores. There are many electrical and technical items. It’s also fantastic for collectors who want to grab everything. If you haven’t been exploring around Cambridge and Goodneighbor, it’ll certainly give you a chance, which makes it nice for explorers. The Wattz Consumer Electronics is a stone’s throw away from the Cambridge Police Station and the General Atomics Factory is close to the Four Leaf Fishpacking Plant, for example, while the final showdown takes place very close to the East Boston Preparatory School. People who’ve been playing a while probably already have locations close to many of its major spots. While Fallout 4 Automatron, the first add-on, does have something for everyone, my experience with it is that people better be crafty.Īutomatron’s four quests do get you out and about a bit in the world. This isn’t due to pacifistic tendencies, but more because I’m terrible at shooting, VATS was often too slow for me before perks, and I wanted lots of fast travel points. When I play Fallout 4, I want my character to see everything without getting pulled into a lot of senseless fighting.
