Fallout 4 DLC, survival details surface

Mod support coming too

Bethesda’s Todd Howard finally revealed when mod support would be coming to consoles for Fallout 4, but he dropped a few more tidbits as well speaking to Game Informer. Most notably, survival mode is coming as a free update, and will be a bit more hardcore than the current iteration. According to Howard, Bethesda is working on mechanics like “you can’t save, it only saves your game when you sleep. You can’t fast travel. There’re all of these diseases. We want the combat to feel different, as opposed to just being a bullet sponge.”

That sounds cool, but effort better spent on New Vegas or another RPG I think. As for the Automatron DLC, it will involve a “little quest line” as expected, so don’t think it’s going to be a big add-on or anything. DLC betas will last a month though, and might involve features that don’t make it to the retail build.
