Why is it your favorite? Why is it your least favorite?

Dilema with DM is that gameplay is better at low levels but you'll almost certainly miss the dialogue checks if you want to save all companions. It's only flavor text I suppose but still.

I'm the only one with LR as favorite

It truly is a Lonesome Road

Dead Money because it's the only one that tries to break the mindnumbing power creep, though I only play melee builds so it's still too easy.

They should have been more brazen about Lonesome Road being post-game, for the story reasons people already mentioned. I think you can "cheat" by giving you a dark screen, and jumping ahead a few months where you are at your team's base. You talk to the 2nd in command (House and YesMan are offline so it's another guy, NCR or Legion local commander instead), and they tell you they got some mysterious radio broadcast threatening a nuclear strike against New Vegas unless their demands are met. You then set off in Lonesome Road DLC.

Almost May

Time for another new vegas playthrough followed by Jagged Alliance 2

One of the most pretentious characters in videogame history

imagine pushing ulysses off the cliff

walking up a hill gives you a somewhat unremarkable view and not poison damage or 3 enemies immediately behind you or a holotape of bearsome bull man muttering about the tribes that beared his bull

It's not great but it's kind of the best by process of elimination

Multiple expansions building this guy up

You don't remember delivering a package to my hometown, but it blew the place up and I blame the postal service and not the guy who had it sent here

Also I'm blowing up the wasteland now because you taught me blowing shit up is cool

I will also impersonate Bane

Not that much different than blowing his brains out before his dialogue even starts.

Lonesome Road reminds me of when I used to plug in shit into player character backstories while running tabletop games, because I wanted to show how cool and interesting my characters/plots were. Maybe they were, but my players certainly didn't feel that way, because I had just made up some shit about their backstory that they might not have wanted.

His plan is to blow up the NCR thoughbeit

Only played LR and HH.
LR for

gear

killing things

HH for

Mormon vs Indians

story

characters

setting

location

believability

I don't like my courier having a canon backstory
Why can't I just be some random courier that was lucky enough to survive a headshot?
Also Ulysses' plan to nuke both sides because "The NCR are just as bad" is peak retard. If that makes me media illiterate because he's meant to be retarded then so be it.

Everyone shits on HH but it's the best dlc meeting Josh was great and the landscape was pretty comfy.

I could never make it through the main game due to game breaking bugs so I never played it.

Everyone shits on HH

What could they possibly shit on about it? HH is downright great.
The only possible downside i could muster is that the Indians look a little silly and being a pacifist is stupid.

Didn't like the reddit humor of owb.
Didn't like how self contained and different gameplay-wise DM felt.
Didn't like the tribal focus of HH
Liked the army and old world lore of LR and the loot

Why is it your favorite?

Only areas in the game where there's an actual point to being above level 20 and using to tier gear.

Why is it your least favorite?

Took itself too seriously, writing felt extremely chuuni.

Honest Hearts. The weakest DLC easily in terms of story and content, but the feel of Zion itself is very homey, even if there's absolutely no reason to explore most of it after you've found finished up the Survivalist stuff.

What could they possibly shit on about it?

It's two seconds long and Daniel clearly came out far worse of a wretch than the writers meant him to be.

It's two seconds long

Yeah, it would need a bigger map and another faction if it was going to be longer. It's short and sweet.

Daniel clearly came out far worse of a wretch than the writers meant him to be.

I don't remember him other than being a pacifist, but what can you expect from a faggot like that?

This is why Anon Babble's opinion on any games don't fucking matter

None of them. I fucking love New Vegas but The Pitt was better than all of these.

OWB annoying voices, bullet sponge enemies

DM, muh handicap, muh edgy Kojima enemies, muh deadly gyas, we finally see Elijah doe, also bullet sponge enemies

HH, it's actually all right, but I didn't even bother exploring all the caves, Graham is G.O.A.T but Daniel shouldn't be there, and bullet fucking sponge enemies with fucking 50 bmg

LR is all right too, detonating the nukes are fine, those fucking ayylmaos crawlers are annoying, the bandits are fine, random Deathclaws lmao, but Ulysses is pretty cool, IDK about the kawaii/moe bimbo acting ED-E though, all though it did made me tear up at the end lul

Now that I think about it, even Point Lookout was better than these. Operation Anchorage was doodoo though. Fucking Call of Doodie wannabe. The Pitt, PERFECTION.

HH is just another area of the main game, I don't like the mummy or the mormon i just like the setting

I get to nuke both NCR and Legion. Are there more reasons for it to be the second best DLC? First one being Dead Money ofc because you can ally with Elijah and conquer wastelands.

I don't wanna have to replay NV again. Every time I do, I get stunlocked on what mods I want to add and entries to manually edit myself. I spend less time actually playing the game and making it a better experience than I do actually playing it.

HH is the best overall I think. Zion is a good zone, the DLC is short and sweet, I like the conflict between Graham and Daniel, Survivalist is of course a great piece of background storytelling.

DM is great but comes with some baggage some aren't willing to tolerate. Namely forcing a stealth and melee focus onto players who may not be specced into that at all. Story and characters are great though.

OWB is just too wacky and randum xD but there is some heart in there about science and technology being a danger. Great loot, good variety in quests and enemies but overall the weakest in story and characters.

LR has the best areas and the atmosphere of this desolate, destroyed ruin is sold really well. Ulysses is controversial but you can just write him off as a pretentious schizo. The real problem is defining the Courier some more. The Courier being made into a much more resourceful badass who set up the Divide and routes detracts from what players will roleplay.

Just go in Vanila like just use YUP I had a blast and the game didn't crash as much as I thought it would.

what's awesome is if you do that before getting to Mr. House your bad faction reputation gets reset when you continue the main storyline quest.

Oh and the worst part of OWB are the back and forth fetch quests to retrieve all the suit and weapon upgrades, and the fucking suite upgrades, which you don't ever fucking use once you leave the place anyway.

when you continue the main storyline quest

The what? I just nuke NCR and Legion and then go straight to Sierra Madre without ever stepping foot to New Vegas.

Nah I can't stand the ugly models. I played Jsawyer + YUP and it was way better than I expected it to be. I also made some edits to Hand Loader because it made zero sense to need 70 Repair to unlock it but then you need 50 Repair to craft the Hand Load ammo.

you get a one-time faction reputation reset when you do the main story quest to meet each leader or their representatives. It's been a while since I played but I can't remember who or when it happens in the quest. Any negative reputation becomes Neutral I think.

See but that's the thing, he isn't even a pacifist. The literal first thing he tells you is that he doesn't like violence but will rain death upon aggressors, but then his whole role in the story is stopping his tribe from defending itself.
The implied reason is that he was buckbroken by the new canaanites' defeat, but everything he says makes him look like a zookeeper trying to keep his exposition pristine rather than someone looking out for the savages' interest.

bullet sponge enemies

also bullet sponge enemies

and bullet fucking sponge enemies with fucking 50 bmg

The first three DLCs are clearly meant to be played in the 10/20 level range, and the scaling works really well if you do.
Pity they break so bad if you go too late.

What's the point of having them with the neutral reputation when I'm gonna kill both of them on sight every single time. On the Hoover Dam battle I just kill everybody that isn't a securitron or an Enclave Remnant if I've completed Arcades quest.

In case you changed your mind or if you're getting tired of the hit squads coming for you. The meta reason is so players aren't locked into only doing Yes Man before the main quest really starts.

Does your DLC have this? Thought not.

it's because I want them to know I nuked them both and for them to waive it off like nothing happened

DM=HH>>LR>>>>>>>>>>>>OWB(so bad I skip it each time) wish they had more time to flesh out HH there was alot they wanted to do which is a shame.

What did they want to do and had to cut? Weird that they were restrained becuase it was the first one, you'd think afterwards there would be more limitations and strictness for development.

if you're getting tired of the free money coming for you

FIFY

The meta reason is so players aren't locked into only doing Yes Man before the main quest really starts

Yeah makes sense, but you can star another playthrough and fix "mistakes" you've made. That's what's great about Morrowind, you can kill literally anyone that is quest related and softlock yourself from getting Wraithguard but still defeat Dagoth Ur if you use Kagrenac Tools fast enough and have enough healing potions. You can restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world you have created. No need for handholding in a fucking RPG.

I see what you mean. I guess I fell for it.
Yeah he is a pussy

He explains it that the tribe isn't versed in war and are pure. He wants to try and keep them free of war and conflict. I think they were trying to do some theologic conflict with him and Joshua as well but it didn't pan out. After everything he and the New Canaanites have been through, he sees in the tribe a chance to avoid the same things he went through. He is of course naive but its a fine motivation.

He wants to try and keep them free of war and conflict

Yes, this is the peak of faggotry I was talking about.
He doesn't actually give a fuck about them and clearly is fine with leaving them unprepared for external hostility and suffering whatever hardship would come from leaving a little piece of eden for the wasteland, so long as HE can keep basking in their sight like he's looking at pre-snake Adam & Eve.
As far as I'm concerned he's as selfish and harmful as the white legs.

Why is it your favorite?

Easy on early levels.
Quick hunting shotgun and ranger armor.
Easy caps.
Aesthetically is nice, actually looks like an old wasteland.
Give E-DE some personally instead of being a mobile turret

Why is it your least favorite?

Ulysses is a pretentious faggot.

Still is funny that you can just ignore Ulysses and go back if you want, there's literally nothing stopping you to do that unlike the others DLC
