First off, I love fallout 4 with nearly 500 hours and still climbing.

I have to say this is the weakest of all the DLC. The concept itself is fun and interesting but in practice this expansion is a huge mess. You start off discovering an old incomplete vault and you're given the goal to get it up and running using the workshop system. I've personly put over 64 hours + in perfecting and detailing my sanctuary settlement so it naturally seemed appealing to me. but after spending a few hours on the questline and a good amount of time building a big intricate vault.. this DLC just doesnt work. My first and biggest complaint is the god awful AI pathing. Your vault dwellers will spend most of their time stuck inside the walls or outside the vault buildings completely and they can't navigate stairs at all.. period. Aside from that the snapping mechanics are so stupid it hurts you cant snap different room types without doors and it makes the rooms look ugly and prefaby (imo). It's just a general headache to what should be a simple system.

It also has issues with lighting not working properly and terminals glitching out. Ontop of that the big mysterious "experiments" you can run are boring as f*k, all in all if you want to build your own vault there are tons of mods that do it better or if you dont like the workshop mechanics anyway this is just a waste of money for an otherwise decent game.
