The expansion is the first area of Fallout 4 to take place outside the Commonwealth, Fallout’s take on a post-apocalyptic Boston. Her dad thinks she was kidnapped, her mom thinks she just wanted to get away, but, as always, the truth is a lot more complicated. Kasumi has been chatting with a stranger over a CB radio, and eventually decided to meet that stranger on the island of Far Harbor. A family hires the synthetic detective to find their young daughter Kasumi, and you’re along for the ride.

“Far Harbor” starts out as a simple missing person's case you get from Nick Valentine’s secretary. That was last Thursday - and I’ve played the game for hours every night since then. I figured I might jump in for a bit, get a feel for the island, and then move on. It’s filled with new characters, quests, weapons, and enemies. Last week Fallout 4 developer Bethesda released the game’s first major expansion called “Far Harbor,” which adds a huge new area to the game. I dabbled in the game’s first add-on, the killer robot-filled “Automatron” in March, but I didn’t stick around much beyond that. Other games came along, and I found myself drifting away from the post-apocalyptic world. I was going to work on my settlements, building them up into places people would actually want to live, while wandering the Commonwealth wrapping up all of the quests I had left unfinished. I had grand plans after I wrapped up the main story of Fallout 4 back in November.
