The first room is a gigantic open cave, with 3 additional wings waiting to be filled with more rooms.
All this really feels like a vault in full progress of being build, when the bombs fell and stopped everything.Īnyway, enough of that, because now that you have cleared the vault, it’s time to build! And ooh boy, the space that you get, is amazing! You get the feeling that this is where a vault should be.
You’ll see water towers, construction material and other stuff lying around, as if someone left it there in a hurry. There is even a train station in full decay. There are trains abandoned on their tracks, heavy machinery rusting away and partly build vaults. Vault 88īut while you are running around like a lunatic, you get a glimpse in the building process of the vaults. Read: run around, press the same old combination of buttons until everything is gone. Especially since after the talk with Barstow, you have to clear the initial vault of all kind of rubble. I found it such a missed opportunity to make the building/clearing part of Fallout 4 a lot more interesting. Yet, you manage to clear ever single pile of rubble with your bare hands.
Barstow has been trapped inside the Vault, unable to free her despite all the machinery being there in the same room. This is a point where I found that Bethesda should have made a lot more effort.
She has been trapped inside the vault for centuries and needs your help to clear the rubble. Upon entering, you come in contact with the Vault’s overseer Barstow. After receiving the usual radio message, you have to travel to the construction site, kill some lovely locals and use your Pip-Boy to enter Vault 88. Unlike previous workshop DLC’s, this one requires a bit more digging around before you get access to the underlying sweetness. After all, vaults in Fallout always have been something rather unique, and now we get to build our own!īut, first things first, it’s time to listen to the radio. With Vault-Tec, we have finally arrived at the last Workshop DLC, which also seems to be the most exciting one. Their DLC program has been a bumpy ride, with the main focus on Workshop items.
Since then, we have gradually been fed with new content. Fallout 4 has been released in November 2015.
