Automaton was decent enough and I liked it, even if you only just want ADA, her/he/its carry capacity is like twice or thrice the other companions that would make it worth it for me.
She's also a pretty solid fighter and doesnt complain when I pick up loot, just too bad she doesnt have a perk to unlock.
I played along with the raiders as long as possible
(install a flag in a settlement that was empty yet somehow Preston knew and goes hated)
before killing them all myself. Its kind of lame it's mostly designed for you to become a raider and just ends if you don't want to.

Automatron remains my personal favorite of the DLC (haven't played Nuka World yet though). Its a DLC you can build a whole playstyle/playthrough around.
It was a ton of fun to create and experiment with customized bots and I've gotten pretty attached to a few. Its a great feeling when you see your gnarled monstrous homemade Sentry Bot shooting nails in everyone's faces and letting mini nukes fly on the occassion he manages to not fuck up his pathfinding.
I would love to make a scientist type character and play through the automotron stuff and hell, and bunch of the game as a drunk pill popping mad scientist with a lab coat and a laser pistol, but
The Institute is garbage,
And I've made six characters and done the first half of the game six times and I just cannot do it again

A mad scientist type doesn't need to side with The Institute... far from it in fact! He could totally believe that traditional robots are the One True Path, and that synths are just taking things too far. This could easily lead him to siding with the Railroad (though likely not due to altruism), the Brotherhood of Steel, or even into re-making the Minutemen into a gang of police robots.
I hear you on playing through the story over and over again, as I've done the same thing and have been burned out on it for awhile now. At this point I'm basically just waiting for Frost to get into a more playable state so I can go full survival mode.
Never tried MO, but NMM works fine for me. I don't need the fine tuning I hear MO gives you, though.
And along those lines they're phasing out both for a new manager built from the ground up that combines the two and isn't a bolted together job. No clue when that'll be out, though.
When FO4 mods started releasing, I read that Mod Organizer didn't work so well with the game yet, so even though I've sworn by MO for years, I decided to go with NMM for awhile. At this point, MO may have come around (I haven't checked honestly), but NMM works pretty well, and I've more or less decided to stick with it until I screw up my install badly enough to warrant a re-install, at which point I'll probably move over to either MO, or the new thing that's coming down the pipe if it's out by then.

I was digging around in the settings of MO and saw the FO4 plugin was at like version 0.4 or whatever, so I decided to just go with NMM for the time being. Either none of the mods I'm using overwrite each other or that's something that NMM had improved, so it's fine either way. That is mainly why I prefer MO.
Speaking of mods, is the list in the OP still fairly relevant and/or is there a more recent mod list post in the thread? I haven't played since release, where there were maybe 4 mods I cared to use. Up to near 30 at the moment.
If you're into settlements automation is worth it for creating robot provisioners.
Except built robots have a terrible habit of turning back into naked basic protectrons, losing all the materials you put into upgrading it, and I think its inventory.

The list in the OP is pretty dated, but does contain lots of good mods. Armorsmith Extended and True Storms are both still great, though I think the former has just gotten way out of hand with how many Optional add-ons it includes. The mod author really needs to find a way to roll this into an installer or something and either let the player choose what they have, or possibly have AE auto-detect what is installed. The 'file' page is just a mess.
Still, there's lots more out there than there was when the OP was created. My best recommendation is to hit up Nexus Top files of all time, and then just go down the list, weeding out things that don't interest you. Or maybe someone will put together an updated list of their preferences.

Thanks! That's what I did.
I would be interested in hearing of mods that might not be on that list or very high on it that people here would recommend. Is there a best or decent UI mod? I didn't really see one other than HUD stuff, but the menus, as usual, are atrocious. I'm using the dialogue mod.

So continuing with my opinions about things I loved that people hated...
I loved loved the tower defense mini game in Assassin's Creed Revelations (I got hilariously good at it and would happily pay for a full version of just that)
On an unrelated note, let's say you're in a desert, walking along in the sand when all of a sudden you look down and see a tortoise. It's crawling towards you and you reach down and flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over. But it can't. Not with out your help. But you're not helping.

Speaking of synths, I did something hilarious and kind of evil.
Covenant spoilers:
I finished the quest where I wiped out the Compound, and I went back to Covenant out of curiosity and of course killed all of them, since they were hostile. I'm using the mod that lets you make synths so to make it right I scanned all of the bodies, made synths out of them, and sent them back to Covenant.
So now the settlement that was terrified of synths are all synths.
Somehow Piper is stuck with a cigarette in hand. With no weapons out and idling she is always does the cigarette in hand pose and when doing any other actions the cigarette is stuck clipping on her hand. I've seen this happen with other NPCs like Desdemona, but with a companion it gets annoying when they seem like a chain smoker.

I've been trying out mods in Skyrim and Fallout for the first time since they're putting a lot on console.
And I have to say while the grand majority of it is cheesecake bullshit you'd expect there is actually some nice stuff ranging from quality of life things to added content.
Voice acting in voiced stuff is usually hilariously bad but its free and was probably made on a non-existent budget so I give it a pass.

Since you mentioned Skyrim, if you want the best voice acted mod ever (not sarcasm, its actually very very good), pick up the Sofia companion mod for Skyrim/Skyrim Remastered.. if its available for consoles, at least.

I have that.
Her acting is pretty okay, just wish her dialogue was better.
But she's pretty overpowered so I'll probably use her until I do Dawnguard and get Serena.

After hanging out with the Player Character I think becoming a chain smoker seems pretty realistic.
Piper: Where are we going today?
PC: We're gonna go straight into a building of super mutants and kill everything, then I'll root around in their meat bags for bottle caps. If we run into any wildlife along the way, we'll kill them too and you'll probably end up having to carry their giblets around.
Shut up, Mr. Burton! You were not brought upon this world to get it!
This game is still amazing, you guys. I started playing Far Harbor and I'm absurdly engaged in the story right now.
DiMA. I don't know, he seems a bit odd. Children of Atom are still shits, and I'll be a monkey's uncle before I trust them.
Also, I've been playing with my PS4 controller hooked up to my PC. It's a fantastic way to control the game. Very good, would play again, A+++++

That does matter, unfortunately. Most mods you'll find require all the DLC, so you should strongly consider getting the ultimate edition. It's only $20, it goes on sale fairly regularly, and the DLC adds a lot to the story.

I'd like to try out the other Fallout games, but the store pages for Fallout 3 says it's not optimized for windows 7 and above. It is really hard to get this and New Vegas running properly on windows 10?
