I was thinking much the same thing when I was looking over the list of titles.

The Automatron one doesn't look especially interesting to me, except that it adds a quest and a new bad guy - the Mechanist. I don't use companions in Beth games, so building a robo sidekick holds no interest for me.

Likewise the settlement building stuff does not interest me much either. I have never wanted a big, grandiose mansion in the other games. That is why when I create a modded home for one of my characters, it is always small and very lore-friendly to the particular game. Nor have I ever liked the whole Stronghold thing that so many RPG games feel they must include now. I just want to go out adventuring. I don't want to be a carpenter, or the administrator of a castle. Just give me place to store my loot and sharpen my knives. I would rather have real content - like new lands to explore and quests to carry out.

Which leaves me with Far Harbor and Nuka World as the only DLCs that really look exciting to me.

Yes, that is pretty much correct. The other DLC's are just filler for their grand dream of having some sims-building-empire construction-play set.

The rest of us in the role play game world have been left high and dry by the direction that Beth has taken. If you enjoy solo exploring and building small homes the two add-ons you have cited are all you need. I did have my hopes high that something would reach FO3/NV level of DLC. I know now that will not happen.

Automatron- Limited value unless one likes robot companions. Small quest.

Wasteland workshop- Limited value.

Far Harbor- Good DLC.

Contraptions- Limited value.

Vault Tec- Good items for settlement builders. Quest idea has merit. Not too bad.

Nuka-World- Seems gimmicky to me. Hopefully the added raiders and quest lines are more than just radiant ones. I will download it next week.

Vault-Tec lets you build different style homes and vaults. At least it does bring something new to the table.

You can build both above and below ground
