With "Fallout 4 Automatron" already released and "Wasteland Workshop" slated to arrive this month, the fanbase is looking forward to Far Harbor which has been the most anticipated DLC of the three ever since details about it were made public.
The first tidbit which had everyone excited was the confirmation that the DLC would take you away from the main area of the game and into a new part of the map, like what "Fallout 3's" and "New Vegas'" DLC did. That excitement soon reached new heights, however, when Bethesda stated that Far Harbor would be the biggest piece of post launch they've ever created.
Fans had been waiting to see just how large this DLC would be and now the wait is over thanks a potential leak from a SteamDB listing, which, if it is to believed, comes out to 2.68 GB.
This is quite massive and certainly lives up to Bethesda's claim of Far Harbor being larger than any post launch content they've ever created, surpassing the file sizes of the DLC from Bethesda's last major RPG title "Skyrim" by quite a fair margin. The same site lists Dragonborn of having a filesize of 1.74 GB, Hearthfire with 137.16 MB and Dawnguard with 1.13 GB.
Even more impressive is that Far Harbor's file size is larger than both Automatron and Wasteland Workshop combined, which have reported file sizes of 587.07 MB and 76.44 MB respectively.
With a size this huge, it will be interesting to see what exactly Far Harbor has to offer once it arrives in May. Bethesda has remained fairly quiet on details, but the fanbase has been hard at work picking through whatever they can find. These efforts bore fruit recently when a redditor uncovered a folder named "DLC03" which had textures for a squid-like animal as well as a some files relating to a Harpoon Gun. The discovery doesn't mean much until we consider that there have been rumors that a "Sea Monster" battle was slated for the base game, but was cut before it hit stores.
In a similar vein, fans have been excited about the possibility of a Ghoul Whale awaiting them in the DLC. As you may remember, the Ghoul Whale is a short story told by NPC's to one another in the base game.
With Far Harbor taking place on a mysterious new island, a "Sea Monster" and the Ghoul Whale making an appearance seems quite likely. Of course, we won't know until it actually arrives.
