This isn’t to say NW is a bad expansion nor is it worthless to players with moral sensibilities. In short, the world of NW feels so unbelievable to experience-especially with the Raider gangs’ motivations-that you would be missing the purpose it’s meant to be junk food. Areas, inside and out, show off many technical, visual and gameplay stimulating aspects over its simplicity that you cannot help but enjoy the ride. Plausibility of world-design is ignored in favor for the coolness factor of the moment. Dungeons’ level design doesn't follow sensible architecture instead, arenas loop around themselves like a theme-park ride with an exit. The shift in priorities from F3 to F4 (or Oblivion to Skyrim) can be adequately described in NW as a landmass with main attractions masqueraded as theme parks. If Nuka World can be praised for anything, it is the most blatant display of Bethesda’s core design and values, especially Fallout 4. What could have been an empathetic exploration into the perception of Raiders whom we slaughter by the hundreds is made into a Raider retreat-resort where you can either role with the façade or kill all the staff for justifiable reasons. It’s really telling that the minds who came up with one of the most three-dimensional characters in Fallout, Kellogg, produced NW. If FH was an attempt to muddy the waters and integrate the RPG mechanics for the goody-goody Sole Survivor, then Nuka World is a blatant appeal from F3 to provide moral opposition for the sake of cartoonishly evil outcomes. In many ways, this level of consequence is an expectation I have for Fallout-and I imagine many people would be more tolerable to the idea if the expansion didn’t feel like Bethesda coming out, yelling, “Here’s your damn degenerate faction! You want to be a F-in Raider so much? There! Kill everything!” Perhaps it is with a sense of irony that this expansion provides a greater consequence than anything in the base-game (or Far Harbor) of F4 if you play a moral character because it will trim off the small fat of storytelling the game offers to sate players’ desires to become a Raider. Not since Broken Steel made the epilogue playable for Fallout 3 has Bethesda received as many criticisms on their add-ons. Reactions run high and with varying opinions for the last expansion to Fallout 4. '”Who’s on First Raid?” Starring the Three Stooge Factions'
