Modder claims Fallout 4 ‘Far Harbor' quest heavily inspired by his work. New Vegas and now an awfully similar quest titled ‘Brain Dead' has appeared in Fallout 4's recent Far Harbor. Brain Dead: Pearl will roam around Far Harbor and approach the Sole Survivor. She will then ask them if they're part of law enforcement, mentioning that there's been a terrible murder. Upon confirming, she will then ask for them to follow her as the murder has taken place at Cliff's Edge Hotel. The Far Harbor DLC for Fallout 4 received plenty of praise when it was released earlier this year, but now developer Bethesda is facing accusations of plagiarism. A quest included in the expansion.
So I've been spending the majority of my time trying to get through this entirely new map on the Fallout 4 DLC, Far Harbor. What at first seems to be a simple search and rescue mission, soon turns into something much more integral.
With Synths, Children of Atom fanatics and stubborn Harbor men to contend with, this DLC is definitely worth the purchase. There's plenty to be getting on with, enough side quests to make things interesting and help with discovering new locations. I mean, who wouldn't want to run in to some Synth eating cannibals and be given the choice to just walk away and be like… okay no problem bye. Let's just say I still felt pretty obliged to take care of the situation.
Fallout 4 Far Harbor Brain Dead Quest
So I follow the main quest and about half way through I'm tasked with going undercover and intercepting the Children of Atom. This opened up to some interesting side quests and even more interesting characters. For example, before you even get into the Nucleus you must go on a spiritual quest and drink from the Atom spring. As you can imagine this is a rad infested creak that gives me some sort of vision to follow a ghostly figure to a shrine.
So once I'd finally got access to Nucleus and spoken to a number of religious nuts, it was time to start digging for those memories. After some reasonably difficult (without power armour) enemies, you can access the terminal to find Dima's memories. But wait, there's a whole new aspect to the game.
That's right, we're then inside the terminal trying to access the memories using some sort of bug. It felt very much like Portal meets Minecraft in the sense that you had Dima speaking to you throughout the experience and you needed to move bricks of ‘code' to get around. Fantastic puzzle feature in my opinion.
If you're struggling, check out this guide to getting through.
So now you have a number of different options including; confronting Dima about his past, destroying Nucleus, or destroying Far Harbor. You can also do some more digging – which is exactly what I chose to do.
After uncovering Dima's murder of Far Habor's Captain Avery and replacement with a synth, I wasn't sure what step I was going to take next! Do I take action against Dima, or hear him out?
Not wanting to cause trouble with any fraction, I opted for the peaceful option and managed to talk my way out of all confrontations (10 Charisma). Keeping Dima's secret, replacing the head of Children of Atom and convincing Kasumi Nakano to return home – all ended well!
Far Harbor Fallout 4 Review
At some point I think it will be worth going back to a previous save and trying out alternate options, even if it's just to see some amazing visual explosions.
After completing the main storyline, there are some fantastic side quests worth undertaking – my favourite has to be ‘Brain Dead'. This quests starts when you see a Miss Nanny robot trying to get the attention of someone in regards to a murder – with nobody paying attention I headed on over and offered my help. I won't go into detail but this quest is a brilliant detective quest that involves a number of robots with unique personalities.
Let me know if you've played the Far Harbor Fallout 4 DLC and which ending you got!
The new Fallout 4 DLC, Far Harbor, takes players to a mysterious island off of the coast of Maine in the search of a missing girl. The island hides a slew of secrets, including a hidden colony of synths, and a population of the Children of Atom. With new faction quests, items, and creatures and settlements, there's plenty of explore. Will you bring peace to the island, or will its dangers swallow you whole?
Players across the internet have been sharing some of their favorite funny moments and memes from Far Harbor. Let's take a look at some of the highlights.
Mainlanders
Players have quickly been noticing how the island-dwellers of Far Harbor tend to distrust any visitors from the mainland. Well, some players have responded to that negativity with an insightful pun.
Bowling Ball Launcher
Bowling leagues are serious business! In Beaver Creek Lanes, players can find a new unique weapon by the name of The Striker. This modified Fat Man can launch bowling bowls as projectiles! A couple of regular players in the league created this monstrosity to help one of their team members bowl better. Not only is it a dangerous weapon, but it also triggers a 'strike' sound effect with every major hit. Players have been having a lot of fun with this one.
Movie Loving Ghouls
At Eden Meadow Cinemas, players come across a drive-in movie theater with droves of patrons. Funnily enough, those patrons end up being a huge crowd of ghouls. It's pretty entertaining to watch these brain-dead creatures appreciate the fine art of cinema.
Robobrain Relations
In Far Harbor, players can discover Vault 118. Inside, there is a small population of Robobrains that take part in the quest 'Brain Dead.' But did you know if you pass five speech checks with Gilda Broscoe that you can have 'robo relations' with her? Doing so will unlock a new perk called Lover's Embrace that grants a +15% XP boost for 12 hours.
Really Mature, Bethesda
The developers of Fallout 4, Bethesda, create great environments within their games. Bathrooms are perhaps their most creative canvas. There are no shortage of strange items found throughout the game's many buildings. But these two showcase some of Bethesda's best creations.
How Did He Die?
Brain Dead - Fallout 4: Far Harbor - SuperCheats
The Valentine Detective Agency solves some of the toughest mysteries in the Wasteland. But here's a death that's bound to leave more questions than answers. What was the real cause of death here? Death by electrocution, nuclear explosion, or beheading? Your guess is as good as mine, just don't lose your head trying to discover the truth.

A New Home For Mama Murphy
Several players get annoyed with Mama Murphy, what does she do all day other than sit around in her custom chair? Sanctuary has plenty of work needed to be done, and plenty of other settlers help pull their weight. Thanks to some new settlement buildings, this creative player found a proper place for Mama Murphy. Do not disturb!
