i always loved that line. "think about me when you jerk it"

I just finished Far Harbor for the first time and I'm about to get started on Automatron

I liked the quests and the story but the island was such an awful place to get around, my least favorite parts of the commonwealth have always been those areas where it's just kind of...lumpy? and that's the majority of the far harbor landscape with the addition of fallen trees everywhere and constant fog and murkiness that makes it a pain to see much of anything, it was actually making my eyes hurt

the Red Death quest and the story with the bowling alley were top notch though, I'm afraid I may have missed some other locations with good narratives but I hate moving around that island so god-damn much that I've got to at least take a break before I consider looking around any more

I never got past the first town in Far Harbor, but I really loved how it was built. I liked the environment more than the original wasteland -- minus the fog, anyway. I think I'll play through the whole DLC once I get a little further in my PC playthrough.

I had to start over because I accidentally built my character into a stupid, boring corner with no good way out so now I've pooled almost all of my SPECIAL into Luck and Charisma with a side of Intelligence for energy weapons and it's everything I could've hoped for

I'm squishy as hell but all my perks and weapon mods turn every few shots in VATS into a head-seeking laser of total annihilation, definitely a good build 10/10 would recommend

Just finally finished all the DLC of New Vegas with some QoL life mods on the PC. I finished the whole game + Dead Money like, 6 years ago or something on the PS3 (whoops, I can't type today), played through OWB + base game + DM 3 years ago. Now it was pretty fun to finally go through all of it at my own pace at 1080p at 60fps. I also got a bullet-time mod that uses up AP, so that's good for someone like me who hates VATS but doesn't want to invalidate a good quarter of the perks or items in the game.

gambling in new vegas is ez with 7+ luck

[Zloff]

who here never uses vats at all? for me in fo3/nv it's actually useful sometimes since gunplay sucks but in fo4 i've never even touched it unless i wanted to easily find targets in the dark or behind stuff. now i just use a "bullet time" mod

also i used fo4edit to modify every default and mod weapon and their upgrades to be realistic-ish. the damage and weight of things was so annoying. almost any human is a 1hk headshot with a 308 sniper and i love it

dead money is kinda broken in this respect. if you cash out the sierra madre blackjack table you can get enough chips to get a good ~300-400 stimpacks from the machine and be set for the entire game.

or worse, when your level 6 character gets 20,000 caps and can buy literally any gun from the gun runners even with GRA.

I rather liked Far Harbor, but I do agree with you regarding the annoying terrain.
The most annoying aspect though is that all 3 of its player settlements have the same poor terrain and it can be quite tricky to build decently on them.
One of the settlements is also mostly a pre-existing building to work in and as with most of these the default settlement system struggles as you try to squeeze things in without the game telling you they're clipping.

As for interesting Far Harbor locales there's one on a small cluster of islets in the West (If my memory serves me) which has a decent self-contained story, and it has a pretty good reward for any crafters/settlement builders, which also periodically respawns.
