The first DLC Automatron for Fallout 4 is out, just happened to peek at Steam while playing a game when it was downloading (475 MB.)
Edit: 711 MB (746,574,665 bytes) expanded in the Fallout 4/Data folder

It was buggy at first, a lot of reports of game crashes, which I was experiencing at first as well. I would play for about 10 minutes and the game would just go *poof*. So I started saving a lot. Played about an hour this morning and I didn't have any crashes so maybe they patched that already.

Played for a few hours yesterday without any crashing. Observed some odd behavior with physics, and scripted events not responding but no crashing.

Finished it yesterday.
No issues, no crashes.
It's okay. Nothing to write home about.

Can now build robots as traveling companions. Meh
You need the Robotics and Blacksmith perks to build anything decent.

If you don't have the Season Pass/
Is it worth it?
No.

I liked it OK. The new quest is pretty cool. I play a sneak-snipe build with Dogmeat & Lone Wanderer perk. Robots can be pretty anti-sneak, I was going to experiment around and see if I could make a robot that worked with a sneak-snipe build. The main thing I liked with bots is that they can carry a lot.

If I were to start over with a more "in their face" type of build I'd definitely go with a bot because they can kick ass.

I'm fairly certain that you can build a sneaky/melee Assaultron. I'm not 100% sure because I ended up not taking it with me, but it could stealth on a regular basis, which is neat.

I ended up taking some kind of insane dual-rocket-launcher robobrain/assault bot hybrid with me, I just send it in ahead and let it destroy stuff, shut down due to overheat, and then when the enemies are either dealt with or stand down again I sneak on in behind it.
