Resident Schizo Poster
Honestly I think this DLC is almost as bad as the Dragonborn DLC for me. The lack of content and player agency is shocking. What gets me the most, other then the lack of player agency, is that Bethesda just seems to thinks that all raiders in the Fallout universe do is Kill, Loot, Return(TM). When in previous Fallout games there was more of a purpose for why the raiders well raid as well as them having more depth then "generic evil murdering bullet sponge #247" . Hell, I'll just throw some examples from New Vegas.
The Great Khans: A tribe of raiders who are trying to eek out an existence after the Bitter Springs Massacre which nearly destroyed their tribe. They raid to support their tribe. They are also in the business of making and selling chems to outsiders with the Fiends being their number one costumers. While the Khans feel uneasy dealing with the Fiends they do however, out of a sense of revenge, enjoy the fact that the Fiends kill NCR troopers during their drug frenzies.
Powder Gangers: While they are a faction made of dangerous convicts the Powder Gangers know that they can't survive on raiding alone and need to forge alliances. We see that they're not above asking the player for assistance as well as them creating alliances with the Great Khans and the town of Nipton. We also see that there is trouble in the ranks of the Powder Gangers over the direction they are taking. One side wants to turn themselves into the NCR due to the belief that, as wanted men unwelcome in any settlement within the Mojave, its only a matter of time before the NCR comes down on them with a vengeance while the other side is confident that they can not only avoid the NCR but that they can also wage a guerrilla war with them.
Fiends: While the Fiends do fit the description of of your typical psychopathic raider they do however do business with outsiders. They buy chems from the Khans who are their main suppliers. They also buy also buy slaves from independent slavers like Dermont and Saint James. Another interesting thing is that the Fiends don't always wantonly kill everyone that is unfortunate enough to cross paths with them as evidence that they take hostages to ransom. Most likely in order to get money to buy more chems from the Khans.
The Legion: One can argue that the Legion are a raider like faction ambit a very, very organized and sophisticate group of raiders. Their motives are much more complex and political then survival and lols. Honestly this short description of the Legion doesn't do them justice but I can easily take up a whole page just describing them and their motivations.
Now I want someone to describe to me the depth and motivations behind each of the raiders in Nuka World because I can't for the life of me.

Maybe this would put to rest the fanboys screaming that DLC will fix the game. This game is such a cobbled together mess of gimmicks and fads that not even Christ himself can fix this wreck of a game.
... Didn't Fallout 1 cut out a race of intelligent raccoons because it was acknowledged that the idea was too goofy? So why did Bethesda bring in a Tarzan expy of all things?!
