How did you feel about Dead Money? Did you feel that it "fit in", in terms of gameplay, with the rest of the game/dlcs?
Connor Howard
Did you repeat history?

I took seven gold bars and failed to trick Elijah to go into the vault cause I'm a shitter.

Did you learn that nukes are good?

I feel like it had a very interesting story and a very oppressive atmosphere that made me wonder what was behind the secrets of the Sierra Madre. Dean Domino was a dumbass who was just mad at Sinclaire for being a nice guy and I kinda wish it was possible to trap him in the vault instead of Sinclair because it would have made more thematic sense. He's the one that lusted after the money from before the Great War and since he's a ghoul he'll live far longer than Elijah who is only just there for the technology and not the gold. The weapons in Dead money are shit though.

Instead of Elijah*

I agree. Would have been neat if the final boss allowed for the choice at least, to end up between Sinclair and Elijah. Depending on how you played.

Yeah the story was great. What about the gameplay though? I never enjoy it too much because it plays very different than the rest of the game. It all feels very linear to me. More like a big dungeon than a full-blown expansion. The items are largely disappointing, and it introduces a lot of mechanics that are only relevant inside the dlc.
For comparison, Old World Blues feels much more like an expanded area to explore/interact with tacked onto the main game.

My real complaint about the DLC for New Vegas is that a lot of it just feels like they just give you a bunch of new eapons, a big map, and nothing to do except to explore around and unlock the new toys with not that much story or rpg except for the very beginning and the very end. In Old World Blues you're doing a lot of quests that are more like trials and some fetch questing which is kinda of boring in the way it lacks choice. Same complaint I have for Lonesome Road where really any choices you might make will only appear at the very end and the entire DLC is just going through waves of enemies in a straight line to the very end.
But... I think it's okay because story telling in the DLC and how they all connect with characters even in the Main Story is really spectacular and concise. It was really fascinating to learn that the white legs did their hair like that in order to honor Ulysses, and it felt amazing to find holotape recordings that showed that Ulysses and Elijah and the Scribe had all been to the Big Empty before you, and that Dean Domino, who is the ghoul in Honest Hearts, is also the singer in the song you hear all the time on the radio.
I think though that my least favorite DLC is Honest Hearts because I just find killing a bunch of tribals boring and Joshua Graham really isn't that interesting of a character.

The thing they did with skill checks on Dean Domino was great. I'm glad it's only done in that DLC though otherwise it would be horrible.
Nathan Peterson
Also I think my favorite DLC is Lonesome Road, because even though it's the most linear and lacking of rpg elements of any of the DLC the environmental aesthetics and oppressive atmosphere made me feel like I was really in a crumbling world all alone. If there was an apocalypse after the apocalypse it would be the Divide, and the High Road looked spectacular, exactly how I think the atmosphere of giant crumbling cityscapes in a Fallout game should be. And the ending was very thematically on point.

That's kinda disappointing to hear, I find Joshua Graham to be a badass and just enjoyable to hear/interact with.
Fun Fact: The VA for Joshua Graham is also the VA for Harbinger for the Mass Effect 2 and 3. I didn't find that out until I looked up the VA's IMDB page and confirmed it. He was also in SWTOR, but then again, Bioware basically hired every VA they ever worked with for SWTOR.

What about a Pilgrim-Mage who does all the Pilgrim shit inbetween or before smashing shit up for fun? Basically, exhaust all the options, get all the lore, see all the cool environments, then take the most violent path for fun?
