Can you believe it – Fallout 4 is just two whole months away from launch. The game that wasn’t even announced until a few months ago is still one of the most highly-anticipated RPGs of the year, but it might only reach its peak potential in the weeks after launch. Revealed yesterday, Bethesda has confirmed that Fallout 4 will receive the now standard Season Pass treatment, among other things.
First up though, the Season Pass. Just like Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas before it, Fallout 4 will be receiving post-launch DLC content. All of this will be bundled up for $30, although Bethesda isn’t quite ready to talk about what the content is yet(obviously). In the past, Fallout DLC has been rather great – with meaty, engrossing additional chapters justifying the price tag time after time. Something which was a bit hit and miss with Skyrim’s own DLC packages.
But if Bethesda-created content isn’t your fancy, then the Creation Kit might be more your thing. Bethesda has always made Fallout with mods in mind, and Fallout 4 is going to be no different. The Creation Kit will allow you to create content such as quests and experiences, using the exact same tools that quest designers at Bethesda used. The Kit will launch next year only, but the mods will be available on PC, Xbox One and PS4. Yes, mods will eventually reach PS4 too.
Other than that, Bethesda promises to keep with Fallout 4 well after launch – patching in not only bug fixes but new features as well. Right now, their heads are down and working hard on finishing Fallout 4 for its projected November 10th release date. A day I’m eagerly counting down to.

I love that you’re enthusiastic and all, but I think this is a major piss take; they have no plan on what they’ll be delivering, but they’re doing a season pass anyway?

Well, how do you know they have no plan on what they will be delivering? Sure would be nice if they at least had some titles for the DLC and how much horse armour there will be, though.
Looking at Fallout games alone, they have been well serviced with DLC. Problem is if a season pass is only for a year or something, then it is a waste. Waist.

“To reward our most loyal fans, this time we’ll be offering a Season Pass that will get you all of the Fallout 4 DLC we ever do for just $30. Since we’re still hard at work on the game, we don’t know what the actual DLC will be yet, but it will start coming early next year” Actual quote from actual bethesda.

“Most loyal”
Meaning those willing to throw money at Bethesda for (possibly) mediocre content.
This is the collectors edition all over again.

Oh yeah, I saw that.
My typed sarcasm does not function correctly on two hours sleep.
Somehow ending with Waste was a reference to Wasteland 2, promise much, deliver some.
And waist? I dunno.

“To provide use with much needed funds NOW, and to reward you, the loyal fan, we will offer you all the fallout 4 DLC we ever create for just $30. We love you guys that much.
In other news, we are proud to announce ALL our future DLC content for all our games will be fully outsourced. This includes design, approval, theme and length of content. We are very excited by this move and hope to soon deliver great DLC value to you, our loyal consumers.”

Besides, I only buy the GOTY editions from Bethesda anyway 😉

Think it’s pretty cool consoles are getting mods too, just wonder if they’re going to curate them somehow because on the PC it’s like the wild west.
Captain JJ Fantasticus
September 10, 2015 at 08:11
It is. But there are some treasures to be found among the mountain of mods.

Like Nude mods. Because running around Wastelands topless is awesome!
Captain JJ Fantasticus
September 10, 2015 at 08:13
I was actually talking about armour and weapons, some of which are sometimes crafted with more precision and care than the official ones.
I say mods are great, as long as you ignore the stupid ones. Some people really put a lot of effort into adding value to the game.

Yes, there’s some really cool stuff, the effort some people go to is amazing. Especially the mods that completely change the way the game works, love those.
I always find it funny how our console brethren fixate on nude mods like moths to the flame. It’s like people from repressed backgrounds suddenly discovering porn.

Oh boy, this wont end good. I can see it already, NUDE mods streamed all over PS4 Twitch channels.
Brady miaau
September 10, 2015 at 08:01
sigh. Yes, probably. Why not, I dunno, mod in a good game of bridge or something.
Have Acol and Goran as bidding systems, no need for precision in a fallout game.

If they bring out a mod that makes it 3rd person and make my character look like Nic Cage I’ll get it day one.
Dutch Matrix
September 10, 2015 at 08:14
You could switch to 3rd person at any time in the Fallout games… And the character creation tools should allow you to Nic Cage all to your little heart’s delight. I call dibs on Patrick Swayze though.

Maybe they mod in vehicles. Or at least a motorcycle or two. It’s something Fallout can do with, I don’t care what other people say. Skyrim has horses, Fallout can at least have a motorcycle.

Season Pass is a must these days aaand I would recommend to everyone never to get one hahaha! However what Witcher is doing and what Destiny and Borderlands 2 did for they DLC was very good but those games are rare!
