The comically overdone nature of Allen Lee is one of the few downsides, but it's also kind of realistic. We've all known at least one dude who will blame everyone else, who can't be swayed by facts or reason, has no facts of their own but despite it all is still reasonably charismatic. It's really obnoxious but unfortunately nothing completely unbelievable imo
My only real complaint with Far Harbor was not being able to have both Nick and Old Longfellow tag along at the same time. Both have enough commentary on things you wind up feeling you missed out a little by not bringing one or the other along for the ride.
The SS is a synth theory is disproven in the game itself during the beginning of the silver Shroud Questline. When the SS talks with Kent they remember listening to the new episodes every time one came out, and even remembers the plot to some of them.
Adding to the story endings, if you've do e enough to help the Children of Atom, Tektus will leave without a fight and let himself be replaced since you've proven that you're not out to destroy the Children, just pushing for peace. It's a small change to DiMa's plan, but it's great that it's included.
Far Harbor had a different vibe to it compared to Nuka World obviously, very oppressive and dangerous in the beginning especially for a lower level character. The story was great, especially with Nick along for the ride, and the voice acting was very good. The "fix the fog condenser" missions got very old very fast for me though and I stopped visiting the settlements after a while to avoid them. I think your evaluation is spot on. I also liked that Bethesda didn't push us to end the DLC in a particular way like Nuka World.
I do think one of the DLC's only weak points is how poorly Allen is written. He's too comically over the top obviously 'bad' when a more nuanced writing would have been more interesting. Especially given that he's partly right, about some of the shenanigans a going on
The Nakanos don't have the only working boats in Fallout 4. They have the only working boat that we see. Trans-Atlantic travel is still happening in Fallout 4. How do I know? Simple; Cait has an Irish accent.
My main complaint about FH is that you can get radiant missions from Knight Rhys or Scribe Haylen to locations on the island long before you go there. While on the island, it would be nice if settlements in the Commonwealth being attacked could be toned down or paused entirely.
dead money will always be my favorite fallout dlc. being a really high level so you have the perks, then getting kidnapped by a nightkin and brought to a casino with nothing but a holorifle given
Far harbor is, in terms of atmosphere, story, and just overall feel, what fallout 4 as a whole could and should have been. I also love the fog personally because of how you just can’t see and how on edge it can keep you
Far harbor was a tremendous dlc, the nuance of the story trumps what the main factions couldn’t, but the biggest strength it brought was the atmosphere. The music and visuals set the tone for the area perfectly which wasn’t brought up. The ambiance music here is the best in the game.
One thing I can’t forgive about FH is that even though it brought back the Lever action rifles, the reloads are not even programmed correctly XD but I love the aesthetic of the actual area itself a lot
It would be cool to see changes happening in the vanilla game like it does in Far Harbor. Like, what's all the hammering in Sanctuary for? Can we see roofs and walls patched up as you level up? And as you mentioned, the castle walls, those could be rebuilt, and the rubble be cleared as you level up or progress through the game.
I’ll take some points away from Far Harbor because of the awful puzzle that Dima makes you do.

The thing is there are multiple points in the game where your character mentions stuff prior to the bombs falling.

Also mad respect for this man still making fo4 content in 2024
The part that made me feel the oldest is when you said fallout 4 is a 9 year old game. Oh how time flies 💀
Imagine if DiMa has been doing that to everyone, and he's the only actual synth there 😂
