Many players discover Fallout 4 thanks to the Fallout series. Bethesda released a total of seven expansions after the launch, including the story add-on Far Harbor. However, in this DLC, there is a particular puzzle that players would like to skip.
Why is Fallout 4 so popular again?
- Thanks to the Fallout series, many players got a first glimpse into the franchise. This led to a massive increase in players: the numbers rose by 242%, with a total of up to 167,388 players on Steam.
- The Fallout MMO Fallout 76 also benefited from this success. Here, up to 1 million players were recorded across all platforms.
- Coinciding with the release of the series, a next-gen update for Fallout 4 was released. This allows the title to be played on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S at 60 FPS.
In doing so, players not only rediscover the main game but also the DLCs (or experience them for the first time). Some of the expansions pushed the story forward, including the Far Harbor DLC, which was released in 2016.
However, one of the puzzles is so annoying for players that they vent their frustration in the reddit forum.
Here you can watch a trailer for the Fallout series:
Players are frustrated with “the worst level design”
Which puzzle is it? Players are complaining about a puzzle related to DiMA’s memory. In “Blessing of Forgetfulness,” we must gather DiMA’s memories in a virtual world.
In doing so, we have to create a path for the bug helpers so they can reach the yellow light pillar and bring the memories back to the starting point of a sequence. Blocks can be moved to lead the bugs over the chasms.
Why are many players in despair about it? The puzzle seems confusing to many players due to the level design. Unlike the otherwise realistic and post-apocalyptic setting, the block world feels monotonous. As a result, many players lose their sense of direction.
Some users have only been able to solve the puzzle because they watched playthroughs on YouTube. Some players even say they spent more time in DiMA’s memory than in the rest of the DLC, in marathon mode in Civilization 6, or in some puzzles in Tomb Raider.
Furthermore, Fallout 4 is a Bethesda game. So it’s normal for some passages to not work due to bugs. As a result, some players may find themselves having to reload their save and go through sections again.
Many users write that they actually have a lot of fun with the DLC. However, this puzzle completely robs the enjoyment of the game. They let their frustration out (via reddit):

That’s why I use a mod that makes this part of the level completely unnecessary
. - urbandeadthrowaway2:
It’s fun once, just once. Like the intro of the game.
- Interesting_Mix083:
I hate this part of the quest. I avoid it as much as I can.
