We reported earlier on Bethesda's DLC plans for Fallout 4, but one important detail slipped under the radar. Namely that the price of the game's season pass is very nearly doubling.

As promised a few days ago, Bethesda has unveiled some of the new downloadable content coming in the next few months.
Gamers who shelled out a good deal of money for the Fallout 4 Season Pass will be pleased to know that Bethesda has announced on Twitter that the studio is getting ready to reveal some info about the upcoming downloadable content packs. The studio also stated it was revamping the Survival Mode.
Bethesda has released the 1.3 update to Fallout 4, and while the patch brings such useful features as the ability to rotate an object that's being held or use a new menu to check the status of settlers, PC gamers - especially those owning nVidia cards - will have the option for radically improved graphics and physics.
Fallout 4 isn't perfect and Bethesda knows it, but they're not sitting idle in the profits they've made off the game. There's a new patch introducing a laundry list of fixes to the game and PC players can get the Beta version of the update as of today.
A new mod for Fallout 4 was posted by a member of Reddit that changes the entire look of Fallout 4, making it seem as if the game is a cel-shaded cartoon a la Borderlands.
Gamers who loved the tasty blue soda produced by Bethesda, Nuka Cola, which is based on the Fallout franchise's iconic soft drink, is back. The studio has announced that the cola is available from Target in the US for $2.99, or free with the purchase of Fallout 4 or the Season Pass.
It's become a somewhat infamous exploit for wasteland wanderers that don't like to play by the natural rules of economics, but the infinite cap glitch in Fallout 4 certainly caught the attention of Bethesda as well. Users are reporting that the glitch no longer works on any platform as of the patch.
The idea of heated, antagonistic rivalries between developers of similar games is, for the most part, an invention of fans, who are more likely to get into those pissing contests. For example, Star Citizen developer Chris Roberts backed Elite: Dangerous while Frontier Developments urged its fans to get behind Star Citizen.
Everyone loves to use the console to cheat. It's where most of the fun of the game comes from, almost as much as modding. However, community manager Pete Hines is warning people using the console will foul up save files and may corrupt them.
Bethesda has announced on Steam that 1.2.33 update is now available in Steam Beta. As is usual with most beta patches, players are warned that the patch may not be stable.
There are plenty of cool weapons in Fallout 4 and its a universe in which there's no lack of inspiration for a wealth of interesting ideas, so it's a little odd to think that a cool idea for a weapon could be cut from the game. Nonetheless, that's the case of the Harpoon Gun or it was before a modder discovered the files for it and reinserted it into the game.
Amid a wave of enjoyment, accolades, and praise for Fallout 4, it's just as apparent that the game is super buggy. There's been no lack of glitches, twitches, and at least one potentially game-breaking bug that have been found by the millions of people playing it regularly. Well, Bethesda is listening and they've announced their first official patch for the game.
Since Bethesda announced that the publisher sold 12 million units of Fallout 4 worldwide for a $750M payday at launch, it should be no surprise that MCV is reporting that the game enjoyed over 500,000 physical sales in the UK, making it the third fastest launch this year for the region.
Players may notice that there's an abundance of Halloween decorations in the game. One might expect that it's because the bombs fell on October 23 in 2077. However, it seems that they're also there because the game recognizes the in-game date, as the folks at Reddit have uncovered some Easter Eggs, or in this case, mistletoe.
The 1-888 Vault-Tec phone number you've seen in Fallout 4, ever tried calling it? Turns out that if you do try calling the number you'll get through to a message from Vault-Tec, the very same fictional company that built the vault your character enters into at the start of Fallout 4.
One of the more frustrating issues with dialog wheels, which became popularized back in 2007 with Mass Effect, is that the brief descriptions can result in actions that were completely different than what players expected. A "Deal with it" option could, for instance, result in the player's avatar taking a shotgun out and blowing a character away. Fallout 4 has some elements of this, usually having single word dialog options, so a new mod changes all of that into a Dragon Age: Origins-style numbered dialog tree, with the first couple of words of what the actual spoken dialog response actually is.
Numerous glitches have been revealed for Fallout 4 previously, but none of them really crippled the game. In most cases they were merely glitches that could be passed over and in certain cases, they were even beneficial to players who exploited them. A newly discovered bug, however, might ruin your playthrough.
It's been awhile since you could bring a fearsome Death Claw to your side in the Fallout series. Not since Fallout 2 did the story move in a way that allowed you have a Death Claw follower. It still doesn't in Fallout 4, but thanks to a new mod, you can have the Death Claw posse anyways.
When I originally posted the story on the Fallout 4 mod in which you could load character models and outfits for current and classic Red Sox players into the game, I theorized that it would take Bethesda producing MLB DLC of their own for this to be an actual problem. I spoke too soon. The MLB recently threatened possible legal ramification if the mod isn't pulled down.
