  So with the release of Automatron, and Wasteland Workshop DLC right around the corner, what are your expectations for Far Harbor? I caught this article today which has Pete Hines saying that the DLC will be bigger than Shivering Isles. In fact it's the biggest landmass for a DLC they've ever created. But Hines went on to say that there won't be as much content as Shivering Isles, but that the higher radiation levels means an even more feral environment.
  
  
  

  So, what are your hopes and expectations for the upcoming DLC?

  
  Can't wait to find out…? Speculation driving you crazy? Bethesda is looking for Far Harbor beta testers right now if you'd like to throw your hat in the ring.

  I assume there would be an NDA for this? Shame, would be cool if we could get one of our guys in there and get an early scoop.

   but that the higher radiation levels means an even more feral environment.

  Oh I'm sure this will be wonderful on Survival mode. SIMPLY. LOVELY. 

  I'm all for more space to explore, though. That just means the game has even more longevity now. Hell, I'm still finding new places in Skyrim, even if it just means approaching the same thing from a different angle. So I'm glad to hear it's big.

  Same here with Skyrim Legion. Anyway, I hope we see a coastide place like there is on the art.

  Yeah I'm interested to see how the devs qualify the notion of "more feral." Don't know if you watched that video in the article, but there's speculation of an Institute-mechanized giant squid and of an underwater Vault, channeling Bioshock, and other goodies. I can barely contain my excitement. xD Either way, a new giant map to explore is pretty tantalizing.

  Almost certainly an NDA, I would think. They probably know that despite the paperwork, people won't be able to keep their mouths shut.

  So that video was great  Mind totally blown, especially at about the 9 minute mark in which he talks about the art. Apparently there are waves and a boat.

  The highlight was the stalking guard. Is this a thing? Crassius Curio approves.

  I was disappointed in how little environmental radiation affected game play in F4. I'm hopeful this means we'll actually have to take it into consideration. I'm hoping to expand my glowing one build using this dlc too...which would be fun. Bring it on!
