Not everything needs to be about Ulysses and the Courier- part of what I like about New Vegas as compared to the other entries in the Fallout series is that while the Courier absolutely shakes the Mojave, there is an impression that things would happen with or without the Courier's surviving Benny's ambush. Honest Hearts deals with what a life of war can do to a person, and the impact that war has on others around them. In story as built upon the clash of armies as <i>New Vegas</i>, that's a distinctly connected side-tangent... there are "civilians" of a sort in <i>Honest Hearts,</i> while every single living thing in the other DLCs either volunteered or got conscripted to be a dangerous threat.
<p>Old World Blues is... "here's where all this crap came from!" It's essentially a detour from the central plot to go indulge in more of Fallout 3's science themes, rather than New Vegas' military and political undercurrent...</p>
<p>Dead Money is... only linked to the wider story of New Vegas by the most tenuous of threads. Especially since [Spoiler omitted] </p>
<p>Lonesome Road plays more with the war, but its narrative and mechanical hiccups keep me from embracing it as fully as Honest Hearts.</p>Dead Money Love lucky7 wrote:Finally, in solid last Honest Hearts[snip](although I do wish it connected more to the others).

<p>Dead Money sucks, especially since it has so little to do with the rest of the damn story. The good parts are wholly embodied by its forcing you to play a little differently compared to the rest of the New Vegas environment.</p>
<p>Old World Blues is kooky fun, and it sets some stuff up, but honestly, it's a tonal mismatch with New Vegas. It feels more like it should have been part of Fallout 3. I also honestly loathe the amount of high-end loot you can get just by walking in a straight line and mauling a few weak enemies. Amusing in places, it's a gigantic Monty Haul session that doesn't feel like it belongs.</p>
<p>Lonesome Road has its problems, but it also lets us see a little proper urban desolation, and the fact that it shows us a place where the post-apocalypse suffered a fresh apocalypse and got even worse appeals to me. Still too much loot, and with only Ulysses to talk to, the story is very patchy and railroady- you only make one real decision in LR, and it's at the friggin' end.</p>
<p>Honest Hearts gives you a place worth fighting for, an intimate look at what war does to those who embrace it too fully, good voice acting. Also... the Survivor's Journals are pure magic. Problems: Too friggin' easy, and the White Legs have no redeeming characteristics whatsoever, so stomping the crap out of them is a clear-cut correct choice almost every time. Choices are generally low-stakes.</p>lucky7 wrote:Final DLC Rankings (Worst to Best)
