      I do. I appreciate what the team wanted to do with it. If it were it's own game; it would be an immsim ala Bioshock. The writing is amazing and the touches here and there make it a masterpiece of DLC to me.

      Obviously it's issues were that they did it in Fallout New Vegas and they take away your stuff. Which I can deal with; but obviously others cannot, see pic related.

          Honestly nothing wrong; not like I didn't TGM because I didn't want to bother playing with the shitty physics to carry a head out the vault.

          Also because locking Elijah into the vault is too good of a proper ending to the DLC.

    Honest Hearts is alright, carried by JG's voice acting. Good environments. Fairly linear, but it's fun enough. It's the best of the DLCs and on par with Point Lookout.

    Dead Money is utterly nonsensical plotwise and is just a dungeon crawler. It's Obsidian's Mothership Zeta. Very little to say about it. Some atmospheric environments but it's repetitive and dull.

    Old World Blues is just a proto-Rick and Morty DLC. Equally nonsense writing, but while DM takes itself deathly seriously, OWB is, again, ahahahaha so random holds up spork i heckin love science. Needs a mod to stop the worldspace from breaking.

    Lonesome Road has a plot, but it's terrible. It forces a backstory onto the Courier, introduces one of the most annoying and poorly-written characters in all of Fallout (this includes Brotherhood of Steel), and it all reeks of spite from Chris Avellone over his terrible idea of what Fallout should or shouldn't be. The player is railroaded hard, the subplot of the Tunnelers makes zero sense, but the environments ARE kinda cool.

      Don't know if bait or just zoomer but OWB is a call back to 1950s pulp sci-fi and they did a pretty good job doing that. There are a ton of names in that DLC that are references to 1950s sci-fi movies and the characters fit perfectly. Genius scientist brains in a jar that regressed to their highschool years and have gone mad. All of the zany sci-fi stuff is a jarring contrast to the horrors they unleashed on the wasteland, e.g. Night Stalkers, which have probably killed hundreds of thousands of people after escaping Big MT among all the other horrible shit in Big MT like the Y-17 trauma harness.

        I don't know why people don't understand you are supposed to find the humor unsettling. Because nothing about the scenario is actually funny but everyone involved in the Big MT has lost the plot.

          That's the reason you meet the Think Tank before doing anything else. "Oh this is going to be the funny meme DLC," is what you get from that encounter and then when you discover what they've been doing and what kind of power they could have with essentially the minds of children, you realize that it's not funny at all, it's sad and a little bit horrifying.
          The only bad NV DLC is Lonesome Road

          It’s because most of the morons that say this shit only know about it from memes or clips they’ve seen. They probably heard the “penis fingers” line and immediately defaulted to Rick and Morty since that’s the only Whacky sci-fi they’ve ever seen.

      It makes perfect sense, a billionaire simp moron fell for a girl then preemptively built a vault disguised as a casino so they could survive it together and then you know the rest of what happened.

      this comparison doesn't go any deeper than both having irreverant sci-fi premises. how you can miss the nuances of fricking rick and morty is beyond me.

    I like Daniel, Joshua and Ulysses. I consider them the best written characters in video games. Hilarious how Sawyer wanted to diversify them because he didn't want them all to be white, get fricked homosexual. I love how unintentionally great they are.

    Sawyer and Avellone explained it over the years
    Basically Bethesda didn't try to control the project so it just grew and grew. This caused the story to be 100% unifnished and the DLC was mostly an attempt to try to put in some story stuff but ultimately Sawyer admitted even with another 'ten' dlc, the story was never going to be finished.
    Avelone on the other hand blamed Bethesda for not reigning them in when the project got too big

    I wouldn't call them bad (except for maybe LR) but most of their content is antithetical to the appeal of Fallout. People like Fallout because of the large world, enemy and location variety, and different character interactions. OWB and HH are probably the top of the DLCs because they have those things. DM and LR have too much of the same enemies and same-y locations throughout their entire runs.
