9 Reasons Why Automatron Will Make You Love Fallout 4 All Over Again
3. The Main Villain Is Surprisingly Complex
If Bethesda made one improvement over their previous games with Fallout 4, it was ensuring that their characters were more complex and nuanced in their personalities and motivations. Throwing out the prior black-and-white morality system that dictated the characterisation of every survivor you came across, the developers instead opted for more ambiguous decisions and more complex characters that made every choice in the game feel that much more intense.
Thankfully the more complex characterisation doesn't stop with Automatron. Even though the supervillain antagonist The Mechanist initially comes across as a criminally one-note baddie, after a few missions it becomes clear that there's something much deeper lurking under the surface of the character.
While there's no sense spoiling the motivations behind them here, there's definitely more to The Mechanist than first meets the eye, and this initially simple robot-smashing DLC turns into a surprisingly complex morality tale by the expansion's end.
