    So which DLC is your favorite?
    I gotta give it to Lonesome Road by virtue of having the edgelord Ulysses growling philosophical quips the whole way through. 10/10 would play with nukes again.

      I'm torn between Dead Money and Old World Blues. They were very different experiences, but both excellent in their own way.
      I did enjoy Lonesome Road too, but it didn't really measure up, due to a lack of NPCs to interact with.
      And Honest Hearts was so bland, I didn't even remember it existed until seeing this video.

    You missed my favorite part of honest hearts, the story of randall clark told almost entirely through terminal entries found in certain caves, and his unique rifle and desert ranger armor. That alone really carries the dlc for me, it feels like a pilgrimage i go on every time I'm in Zion.

      “The survivalist” is one of the finest pieces of non quest content ever written for a game. He plays no part in the story, has no effect on your decisions and yet, when I finally found his skeleton at the end of it all, it was a very profound moment. I hold that entire line up as the type of quality writing that Bethesda could never achieve (mostly because Emil only has two ideas in his head), if it tried. To them, that would be some shitty radiant quest with fuck all meaning to it.

      @@CorvoFG I would argue he plays one of the *biggest* parts of the story. He literally founded and named the Sorrows and his words tell you the intended answer to the DLC: _"I tell them to be kind to each other and modest. I tell them never to hurt each other but that if someone else comes along and tries to hurt them to strike back with righteous anger."_
      The answer is to fight the White Legs, but spare Salt-Upon-Wounds. At that point, he is helpless and it is right to show mercy.

      I’d say it’s like a backstory intertwined with the main narrative that kinda explores more of the Courier themselves and how actions have consequences that can lead to destruction but also closure if you play the DLC in order it makes more sense Ulysses is connected to almost the whole DLC narrative in small and major ways his story is kinda the antithesis to ours he’s what was born out of the Courier’s actions both before and after the player takes control

      I have to disagree. I think sparing Salt-On-a-Wound is the worst part of the DLC. The guy is literal scum, he genocided all of the New Canaanites except two, and is trying to kill every single one they influenced, including the elderly and children. The fact that you have to spare him to teach Graham mercy is stupid. It would’ve made much more sense if it were a group of White Leg soldiers you had to spare or something like that.

    I think the thing that makes Honest Hearts a favorite, for me, is the story of ‘The Father in the Caves’ and origins of the Sorrows tribe. Those few scraps of post-apocalyptic writing tell one of the best Fallout stories in my opinion.

      To be honest he seemed like kind of an unobservant player? For example he seemed to not really know anything about who Ed-E is, so I think he never did his quest. The fact that he never mentioned The Survivalist was strange as well, I suppise he just completely missed him because of his dislike of Honest Hearts.
      Honestly I think this was a bit of a dissapointing review. It felt like he didnt actually do too much reviewing, just that he mostly just talked through the plots of the dlcs. Tbh a lot of reviewers on TH-cam do that. I think his decision to keep his review short really hurt its quality. It felt like he would talk through the plot of a dlc and just when ot was time to give his own review/input, he would jump to the next dlc because "time".
      Most of the people watching this have played the dlc's. I always like thinking about fnv, but I remember their plots. Too much of this video was just a recap, with far too little actual reviewing.

The DLC really sells the survival aspect of the fallout universe it doesn't hold your hand

    Honest Hearts having the least impact mainly, but the in the background has one of the most heartwrenching lore stories ever conceived in gaming history.
    Finally, Lonesome Road, very deep lore from Fallout 2 with the long road to Ulysses ahead in perhaps one of the most striking environmental stories.

    Great opinionated piece- My one criticism is that **each DLC is intended to be played pretty much as soon as they hit the required level**- so you would’ve had a different (and possibly better) experience starting a new character.
    For example, Honest Hearts has alot of caves telling the story of the survivalist- Cumulating in you getting a unique version of Ranger armour (Desert ranger armour) alot sooner than you would initially be able to obtain the iconic suit.

      I've done Dead Money twice in vanilla form now, and the only feature I use a mod to disable is the radios. I like the cloud, I like the ghost people, I don't mind the destructible radios, but after two runs, I prefer the more tactical exploration provided by not rushing through trap-filled areas filled with ghost people so I can use one of my last 5 bullets to take out a speaker.
      I just play it off as "Elijah managed to 'fix' the collars" and enjoy the DLC. It's still difficult, still a decent challenge. For me, it's way more fun not rushing like a madman into a bad situation just to disable one squawking speaker so I can move onward.
      But removing the cloud or the ghost people, that would make the DLC boring, at least in my opinion.

The story I have found to be very touching and interesting, is one of the rare stories about the moment where the bombs fell and how this individual managed to survive the fallout and for the DLC's lore, it is very important.

    I remember when I was but a wee lad, in the early 20teens, when Lonesome Road was everyone else's, as well as my favorite DLC. However, having sunk dozens of more playthroughs into it since then, I've matured enough to realize how great Dead Money is. The atmosphere, ambiance, and gameplay intertwine to provide one of the most bleak, creepy, and post-apocalyptic experiences ever. Plus, the characters and story are unmatched, with so much depth to each of them that it takes several play throughs to get the full picture and appreciate it. There's nothing like sneaking through the villa, hearing the eery metallic scraping from the ambient soundtrack, the breathing of ghost people, and the rustling of a radroach. Plus, finally reaching the suites of the casino and finding the holograms of Vera Keyes crying out for Sinclair... Chills. I've started several new characters just so I could experience it again.
    Old World Blues also has some really good themes and story once you look past the wacky zany surface it puts out. However, it just doesn't have the same atmosphere. I still like it a lot though

    Honestly, it was truly entertaining to view a such a vastly different perspective of many elements of these DLCs. How other players interact with the same experiences fascinates me.
    I believe that each one of the DLCs hone their own form of mastery, in regards to their theme or content.
    My preference of the four would have to be Dead Money. Something about the balance of aethstetic, story and characters brings together a truly masterful experience for me. However, my preference isn't solely resigned to Dead Money; the other expansions elicit similar responses from me as well.
    Regarding Honest Hearts: I find the content to be lacking in comparison to the other DLC. However, the content that is there I find to be quite compelling; I enjoy exploring the tribal cultures of the post-war. Also, the story of Randall Clark is a truly touching biography. And lest I forget the fan favorite, Joshua Graham. Whom I find to be one the most interesting and insightful characters in the entirety of Fallout: New Vegas.
    Old World Blues is one where exploration truly takes hold for me, the bizarre technologies and alien features awaken my urge to scavenge the treacherous crater. However, I find the poorly balanced enemies to be annoyingly damage resistant and overwhelmingly powerful. It adds to a bit of tedium that hampers me from replaying it without frustration, although I typically power through, regardless.
    And last, but surely not least: Lonesome Road. One of my favorites in exploration, atmosphere, story and characters, however the vast majority of my praise is focuses upon Ulysses. Ulysses, I find to be my favorite character in any videogame. From his haunting voice to his ambiguously poetic dialogue, I find it to be disappointing that so much of his character was cut from the main release of New Vegas. He truly would have been a welcome part of the main story.
    And with this my opinion and explanation has reached its lengthy conclusion. Apologies to those who have reached this far, I didn't entirely mean for this to stretch at such an agregious length. But for those who have come this far I thank you for viewing, and if you would like to discuss further: I hope to be able to debate and talk about whatever you wish.

    I've always enjoyed Lonesome Road. The fact that you're told you're meddling with all these things you don't understand has two levels of meaning. Not only to the Courier, but to the player. At any point you can turn around and leave. You're not obligated to find Ulysses, launch a nuke or detonate the many warheads strewn around Hopeville and the Divide, but you do it anyway. You do it because of curiosity. You do it to "see what happens". You're not a destined hero. You're not some prophesised coming of christ, you're a fucking mailman who got shot in the head and decided to go full Rambo on the Mojave.
    New Vegas is one of the examples I use when I say prophecy stories are boring, overused, and stupid. In case you're wondering, the original Legend Of Zelda is one of the other examples. You're doing these legendary things, not because it's ordained, but because you want to do it. This is how you pass the time, make money or get your kicks. Someone who becomes a legend because of their actions, will always be infinitly more interesting than a legend who was always going to be a legend.

    I had a super easy time with the Ghosts, just getting crits on all my headshots, but yeah I bet they are a huge pain for some builds. Dead Money can be a bit much, but the characters carry it for me.
    P. S. I also forgot you won’t use V. A. T. S. That was what made the ghost a non-issue, although your point of V. A. T. S. Totally disengaging you from the game holds a lot of water. I dunno, it didn’t bother me in this case cuz I just wanted all the ghosts dead

    I love all the NV DLC, except Dead Money. I always spit and curse every time I do it, even with a bunch of skill points in melee and stealth. The clunky game doesn't lend itself to "Survival Horror" in my opinion. It just makes Dead Money a tedious meat grinder designed to eat your resources.

      It's definitely one of those "you either love it or despise everything about it" sort of things. Everything people say about it is valid I feel, good or bad.

    I really enjoyed the villa. Yes i started out confused as hell but as i paid attention to the 3d aspect of the maze like level design, i got better and faster at recognizing where i need to go and what the best way to get there is, how much ups and figuring out landmarks. By the time i was done getting the people in place for the grand openning i was traversing the villa like a beast

    I don't think a sequel on the same level as New vegas is impossible, Fallout 4 is only so awful because the lead writer intentionally wrote the quests with less diverting paths so we could see more of his writing, I think if they made a game with plenty of alternative options and more complex themes, it would be completely possible.

      It's the fallout 4 fanboys who caused bethesda to turn their tables against RPG. Fo4 fanboys still say nv is bad 4 is best. So bethesda makes an even worse RPG: fo76

      @@demonspawn5164 lmao Literally no one says or thinks that, if anything Bethesda fanboys are just sick of not being able to mind their own business because New Vegas fanboys have to constantly jump down their throats and remind them F3/4 aren't the second coming of Christ like New Vegas
