Summary
Fallout 4’sFar Harbor DLC has been catching heat recently, as more people come up against the expansion’s dreaded DiMA memory puzzle.
It’s been a while since the release of the Fallout TV show, and anyone that has been driven to try out a Fallout game for the first time has been hooked.They’re in it for the long haul now, and those that picked Fallout 4 as their title of choice seem to have started trying out the game’s DLC expansions, including the excellent Far Harbor. At least, it seems that way, given how many people are dragging the DLC’s infamous memory block puzzle back up.
Fallout 4 Newcomers Despise DiMA’s Memory Puzzles Just Like The Rest Of Us
The entire quest revolves around Fallout 4’s building mechanics (we know how much fans love those), and tasks you with building paths for “indexer” bugs that will unlock DiMA’s protected memories. It requires lots of backtracking, it can be irritating to play through more than once, and the bugs can not function properlybecause Fallout 4 is a Bethesda game. Long story short, it’s not very popular, and we now have a resurgence of hatred as more people are trying Far Harbor for the first time.
Even just a brief glance at the replies tells you how much people loathe this mission, as it’s described as a “speed bump” and “absolute sledgehammer” to a player’s enjoyment, and you may find several people claiming that they now use mods or cheese strategies to skip the section entirely on subsequent playthroughs. The fact that it also rewards players withthe best armor in the gamefor completing the optional puzzles is an added kick in the behind. The things we do for loot.
