Just adds more settlement building. A way to trap creatures and befriend them and an arena to your settlements. And the arena is even boring. This should have been a free update.

Mostly just a costly drop of new items and buildings for your settlements. If that's not your vibe (and it's certainly not mine), then it's not going to be worth your while. Also allows you to put NPCs of your choice (including your companions) in an arena to battle for your entertainment, which utterly devalues them as characters and effectively makes them action figures for the player to slap together. Fun for YouTube poop shenanigans if you're 12, I guess.

Janky mess of an add-on, never even got it to work since the building system in FO4 is so finicky to begin with. Cool concept to let you recreate NPC fights like you can do in Garry's Mod but the reality from what I've seen is that it's so much more restricting. Don't bother even if you like the building system in FO4.

Meh...you can do some new things with crafting junk that's kinda fun, but whatever. Knock yourself out if you like that kind of stuff.


The building system is still shit I hate this fucking game.

I mean... who cares?

...I guess it's fun, for a day... the additions of display items like mannequins were awesome. And some of the visual decorations were cool... but wasteland workshop was never meant to be anything more than a momentary distraction while we waited for Far Harbor.

Also, the cages and gladiator fights barely ever worked. Yikes.

A very disjointed collection of additions to the workshop function; and yes, while I understand that the workshop was really Fallout Fours "thing," this really did not work to dramatically improve the lackluster nature of what was present in the base game.

Once again, we have a bunch of items that you could get better on the Nexus workshop.

The items are a little continuity's breaking being the idea that you could tame a Deathclaw so easily...

Again, total waste of money. This should be main game and not DLC to greedily grab at your wallets.

Making your settlers have violent arena fights with each other is fucking hysterical, one of the more amusing things to do with the base game's building system for sure - but the cages feel barely functional, and setting up the aforementioned fights is way more complicated and unresponsive than it should be. Ultimately one more big shrug to add to Fallout 4's already mostly meh DLC list, forgot this even existed until I re-checked my logs.

Could never get that arena bullshit to work no matter how hard I tried
