    Lonesome road is actually my favorite fallout DLC, it gives some good new weapons, armors and enemies(shoulder mounted machine gun, elite riot gear, marked men, tunnelers etc). But what really makes Lonesome road my favorite is the atmosphere of the Divide and the story and overall message of the DLC. I love Ulysses and his cryptic way of speaking. And also who doesn’t like having Ed-e as a companion.

    Honest Hearts and Dead Money will always be some of my favorite. The varying atmospheres that are very unique to the Fallout universe makes me very happy. My only thing is I always wished I was able to go back after completion of Dead Money. For Fallout 3 Point Lookout is my top, and the Pitt as a 2nd, Mothership Zeta is my 3rd, and Anchorage would be my least favorite although it is still an awsome DLC. For New Vegas Lonesome Road is definitely tied for my Dead Money first place, Old World Blues is my least favorite but is still amazing

    There are two Dead Money Bugs that stand out to me:
    1.)The Ghost People's perception is actually 0 believe it or not. However due to how the engine is coded, it registers it as infinite perception. This was most likely intentional so as to make them more of a threat.
    2.) There is a way of getting all 37 gold bars. Walk up to the force field on the right before Elijah enters, when he lowers the field and walks forward, it knocks and teleports you behind him and you can just walk to the elevator. Now I did this back in the on the Xbox 360 back when Dead Money first released I don't know if its been patched, but I thought I'd bring it up.

I didn’t die a single time(except 1 time final fight with Elijah witch is optional anyway) . Didn’t use holo rifle once, I even didn’t use companions to help me. So, I still don’t get why ppl say its hard. Can u please explain what gives you the hard time there? I am genuinely curious.

    OWB is by a country mile my favorite DLC for any Fallout (or Elder Scrolls, for that matter) game. The various labs are (mostly) cool and interesting to explore, I love the characterization throughout, especially DR. MOBIUS! and the way his mask slips once in a blue moon and you see the confused, well-meaning crackpot behind the performance, (and Muggy) and it incorporates hints at the other DLC better than most, with all the nods to Elijah, Ulysses, and Christine. Also, not a bonus to the DLC itself, but I love the Transportalponder in TTW, where people have extended it so it can be used to travel between the Sink, Mojave, and Capitol Wasteland.

    I have just finished my NV DLCs playthrough (all of them for the first time except for Lonesome Road), and Lonesome Road is my all-time favourite, the location is breathtaking, Ulysses is one of the best characters ever written in the history of games, it's challenging and the marked men are so cool lore-wise, I kinda want to replay this masterpiece even though less than a week has passed since I finished it
    OWB is really great, but it's like a sitcom gag, too much reliance on humour for me, and it's kinda sad that the game makes you run around 30 times to grab stuff from places where you have already been numerous times, other than that it's fantastic
    Dead Money's characters make it great, though I didn't like the gameplay part too much - it was cool, but for the most part it felt unnecessarily punishing, especially the moment when you open the casino gates and there is a whole army of ghosts, if the game could let you take med-x+slasher and use power armor, it would be ok, but I had to replay it like 40 times until I actually managed to run past the ghosts into the door (maybe the problem is, I run a modpack where something makes enemies take like 70% of your hp with every hit on very hard, and hardcore wouldn't let me heal instantly)
    Honest Hearts felt a bit too short and I couldn't care about the main story enough to actually enjoy it, but again characters pull it off and the side story with the terminals in cave is just sheer brilliance, so to me LR and OWB would go to S tier, DM and HH would go to A tier

    Personally, I think Dead Money is the best DLC (by a pretty good margin) on this list for a first playthrough because the storyline, characters, and novelty of having to scavenge gear are all really, really good. On repeat playthroughs, however, it can be pretty tedious compared to the others, and the rewards are only really worth it if you're running and Energy Weapons build and want the Holorifle.

    • @colonian83
      @colonian83 2 місяці тому +1

      Oddly enough, dead money is probably the dlc i've played the most. I just adore it.
      The rewards are actually pretty incredible. I always make it out of the dlc with around 11k chips and collect every single vending machine code. You effectively have infinite weapon repair kits, (super) stims, steady, buffout, med x, doctor's bags, mentats, heavier frag mines and 308 rounds/357. And you get free chips every week/can make them with fission batteries and scrap metal.
      Although the ammo is kinda meh, the great kahn vendor has a ridiculous amount of ammo in stock.

      After playing both Bethesda's Fallouts and Obsidian's New Vegas, I felt Bethesda's team doesn't understand players as well they should. The Bethesda games felt creatively less focused and just less polished as far world building. I suspect some of that is Bethesda's management meddling in the creative development of the game prioritizing features and set pieces for marketing purposes rather than a more better developed world for more immersive single player experience.

    • @okupant880

      This, this is the reason I honestly despise Nuka World and it is wasted potential. It couldve given so many great options, like after the start you get out of Nuka World, get back to your faction and create a plan to save the people and crush the raider army. Then infiltrate Nuka World as the *Leader* of raiders and help them, only for an army to show up and have a massive battle in the wasteland around the park, then charging into the middle of the park and hit strategic objectives. This is what couldve happened, a gigantic climactic battle between good and evil and not between evil and butthurt crybaby evil that didnt get as much toys as them. After the one time I tried the dlc raider way, I blast Gage to bits every time when he gives the condo to me and then rip and tear starts playing, but this way 90% of the dlc is lost.

    The only one of the Fallout 3 DLCs I really enjoy is Point Lookout. Despite the brutal unfairness of the swampfolk, I really enjoy the area and story.
    I never like playing through Dead Money and it's mostly due to the first half of it. The exterior of is too much of a maze, too many enemies keep spawning and, of course, the damned cloud is all over the place. Once I actually get into the hotel proper, I love the rest of the DLC.
    Old World Blues is New Vegas embracing the 50's B-movies that are a major component of Fallout's DNA and the cherry on the sundae is completing it gets you the best player home in the game.
    Honest Hearts just bores me to be honest. Zion is pretty and Joshua Graham is an interesting character, but to me the rest of it is just 'meh'.
    I don't like Lonesome Road for one reason. Ulysses. That hypocritical egotistical jackass just pisses me off with the sheer amount of bullshit he spews. I still complete it every time so I can get the upgrades for Ed-E and so I can shoot Ulysses in the face.
    Courier's Stash and Gun Runner's Arsenal are just gear packs which is nice, but it's just gear.

    - Operation is a bad DLC. It doesnt fail at anything but sets you up as overpowered for no reason and can be done at the start of the game without weird shenanigans or roadblocks, like the DLC is scaled at that low level but still gives endgame gear that lasts for ever. No replayability, no story or characters basically, cool gameplay and theme. It's a C.
    - Broken Steel is a good endgame DLCs. Adds stronger enemies, higher cap, stronger weapons, and it does a good job at showing that even if you won the purifier battle, the wastland keeps moving and the war with the enclave hasnt ended.
    - Point Lookout i would say is S because i value the things it did best a lot. Best job at theme and worldbuilding (locations, side quests, NPCs, exploration...) in a fallout DLC, plus the ocultist lovecraftian horror theme was greatly executed. The main story i thought was nice, had some really cool mission. And I didnt mind the characters, thought they were nice.
    - Zeta is worst Operation, the first part is interesting because you are breaking out, learning about your situation and it hasnt felt repetitive yet. It feels bad to play, it's awesome that you are in a spaceship and that only matter twice and you are too bored of the same rooms, corridors, enemies and quest to enjoy the walk outside or the button mash that is the ship fight. If there's a D tier (story) dlc in fallout it's this one.
    - I put Dead Money S tier because again, i like the theme of the DLC. Robbing a super advanced prewar Casino with an elite super interesting team and a good villain that has been foreshadowed by people in the game (at the time of me playing it i had played NV for a while, knew of Elijah and was cool seeing him there), cool story and backstory to the casino...
    - Lonesome Road is another excelent endgame but it doesnt change the game, it adds and endgame area and that's good too. You get nice loot during the DLC, and after you complete it you bomb people at the end for nice faction loot, like a sidequest at the end and that's also neat.
    - Gun Runners i think is good enough of a weapon mod to award being A tier. Adds a lot of cool weapons, some with different effects and ultimately more variety to combat at no cost or story, just more items on vendors.
    - For Nuka World, I actually hated the start of Sierra's sidequest (the ending was awesome after getting the passcode, cool to see Sierra back and making sense with how much of a fanatic of Nukacola she is). To side with the slaves is not a real choice, since people wont try to because they are pushed towards the raider side, unless they "investigate" it and see the quest pop up. It's a choice but never hinted at and that's a good way to do it in my opinion. Worst part about the DLC btw: it was 100% made with fast travel in mind, play it in survival and every quest taking you back to the commonwealth takes like 4 trips of the train. Any of those quests takes 30mins for no reason instead of 5mins with fast travel.
    The building DLCs in fallout 4 are the only reason i wouldnt put Zeta as D tier. They are worst than Zeta. And Zeta is in between D and C.

    Dead Money is a beautiful, tragic story about love, obsession and betrayal, featuring some of the best written characters in all of fallout. A good chunk of the story is told through terminals and visual storytelling, and if you want further understanding of the circumstances leading to the current state of the sierra madre and its surroundings you have to play Old World Blues. One might argue that this is asking too much of the player, but this approach allows the player to get more immersed in the story, and seeing all these accounts from random workers makes this world feel more alive. not to mention the gameplay is excellent, and the pure sense of death and depression is noticeable in every aspect of the DLC. I fell in love with Dead Money years ago and I still can't let go.

  • @itscarlos3700

    While some may find dead money good as it is challenging by taking away gear, I personally cheese it by doing the veronica multiple companion glitch and store my stuff (ammo, aid & guns) in the companions inventory and take them inside the dlc.
    If you're curious how to do this, just type in fallout new vegas companion glitch.
    I also have a video on how to take them into dead money.

    Best to Worst
    Old World Blues: Fallout at its best and every single character is pitch perfect
    Lonesome Road: Loved the development for the Courier's backstory but never really cared for Ulysses as a antagonist.
    Point Lookout: Unique setting and a solid story.
    Far Habour: Ditto.
    Dead Money: Like the idea of the DLC but somewhat flawed execution (especially with casino abuse and dropping all the gold bars behind the barrier) and way too easy to get lost.
    Honest Hearts: The setting and its use of colour is a breath of fresh air (literally) but the main story is kind of boring
    The Pitt: A decent DLC but needed more story and quest content to be great.
    Gun Runners Arsenal: Yeah its basically a weapons mod you pay for but its solid and contains some of the most fun weapons to use along with the nice challenges.
    Automatron: Completely forgettable, the robot companions are neat but not really amazing, wish they had done more with Jezebel.
    Mothership Zeta: Buggy and basically a corridor shooter. Had potential but not fully realized.
    Nuka World: A pretty cool themed dlc, shame you have to play an evil/amoral character to get the full experience.
    Broken Steel: A dlc that basically addressed a lot of the problems I had with Fallout 3, and should have been part of the story in the first place....
    Courier's Stash: Pre order bs that now with all the dlc in the game makes the start way too easy. Picking which one you want ala alternate start mod feels like the best solution to me.
    Operation Anchorage: It basically serves the role as GRA for fallout 3 but tack on a throwaway story, horrible linear cover shooter FPS and just giving the player the most broken "I win every fight" gear in fallout history. It makes Turbo Plasma/Power Armour in Fallout 1 look absolutely balanced by comparison.
    Vault-Tec and the other ones: The world best argument for playing Fallout Shelter.

    Also, in fallout 4 there's a perk you get where you can sit up provisioners for your settlements. You can build your own provisioners that way and basically make an army of death robots rolling around the Commonwealth.
    So this is why I think a lot of people didn't really like that DLC very much because I don't think they really put to good use of what it was designed for. With the death robot army provisioners rolling around you are basically fallout 4 as Mr House at that point lol😂

    A lot depends on what your gaming background was before coming to the Bethesda era Fallout games. A lot of the newer fans came from first person shooters so Operation Anchorage and Lonesome Road, where you have a clear linear progression and you're provided with a character to play rather than create, are going to be more entertaining.
    For rpg fans Honest Hearts and Old World Blues are going to be more popular because they provide you with objectives but then turn you loose in a wide open area with multiple methods to achieve the objectives so that the character you create doesn't have to be a combat optimized death machine. It's not a case of one style of gameplay being better than the other it's a matter of taste.
    Except for Gage. If you think Gage is more interesting than Nick you are just wrong;).

Also it just throws a bunch of "bosses" at you which are just scaled up versions of enemies which is pretty lame. But as a fun note, my charasmatic survivalist cowboy plowed through this.

    Dead money is a weird one. For the story and location it’s absolutely awesome. For gameplay it’s just bad. Bethesda open world games are all about different ways to play and doing the same thing. Dead money really limits your options for build. First time I did it I was doing a ballistic rifle vats build and it felt awful trying to use weapons I didn’t build for in a difficult location. I ended up switching my build towards stealth and used stealth melee in dead money. At this point I don’t think I’d do dead money unless I was already doing a melee build.

    - Dead Money is S-Tier for the Vending Machines + unlimited money alone. Plus, if you’re smart, you can do the infinite Pre-War Money + SM Chips glitch to never run out of anything ever again 👍🏽
    Oh…and thematically, it blows Hinest Hearts and Lonesome Road out of the water
    - Lonesome Road is A-Tier, but the rewards aren’t worth the trip…except for the Blade of the West, which by itself is the ONLY WEAPON you’ll ever need
    - OWB = S-Tier if you like collecting junk and getting lots of epic rewards for turning it all in. It’s also essential for Hardcore players due to how the Sink’s…Sink will refill your bottles. The Think Tanks bring it down a whole peg, though.
    Edit: OWB introducing the LAER (Laser Assisted Electrical Rifle) + the Elijah variant of it automatically makes it so much better as well! OWB really just ups the ante on how great the game can be at its best
    - Broken Steel = S-Tier. Post-Game epilogue with all sorts of excellent additions AND more purpose to play the other DLCs? Count me in!
    - Point Lookout: S-Tier. Prototype for Far Harbor, but with lots of incredible loot/weapons that can feasibly get you to the End-Game no problem. Plus, Desmond + evil brain man side-quest is 💯
    - Mothership Zeta is B-Tier. Loot kind of sucks, but cool lore nonetheless
    - Honest Hearts? More like…honestly B-Tier. Joshua Graham’s drops + Salt-Upon-Wounds’s drops are the only thing that make it worth completing.
    - Courier’s Stash is S-Tier. It’s basically just Base Game+ and allows you to find cool play styles extremely early on.
    - Gun Runner’s Arsenal is C-Tier. Sure, extra Mods + weapons are cool…but not at the cost of making the game much more unstable 😒
    - Operation: Anchorage is C-Tier. COD: Alaska is the last thing I’ve ever wanted…but the rewards are worth the experience.
    - The Pitt is A-Tier, just above Lonesome Road. It’s just that excellent!
    - Far Harbor = S-Tier. The only Bethesda anything that isn’t Broken Steel’s non-story content that really rivals anything in New Vegas, base game or DLC 👍🏽
    - Nuka-World is A-Tier alone for introducing the Handmade Rifle and Nuka Cola Space Girl Costume.

      Solid ranking, but I have to disagree with Courier's Stash being S-Tier. It breaks the early game balance and gives you way too much of an advantage. FNV is easy enough, no need to make it even easier.

      @@ianfan1420 the game is broken to the point of unfixable, so I don’t see why it would be even more so. From what I’ve experienced/experimented with before leaving Goodsprings or the boundaries of it (Lvl 1-5), you can find some similar weapons to the ones you earn (sans the 10mm Pistol and Grenade Rifle) either by reloading your saves to basically reroll the “cell” of a Location(s) like The Devil’s Gullet, Goodsprings Source, Yangtze Memorial, just before Jean’s Sky Diving where you meet the guy who wants you to kill the Geckos, etc. to eventually find some loot that’s about on par (or better) than what you would normally get within those boundaries like a Lever-Action Shotgun/ 9mm SMG (besides the one in Doc Mitchell’s house)/ Frag Grenades/ Throwing Hatchets or Knives @ the shop with Chet/ Recharger Rifle from Chet/etc.
      I get that getting it all right away seems broken at first blush…but once you grind it out around the “Tutorial Area” and truly learn the basics (outside of Caps/ Infinite Speech Check/ Re-Rolling Perks & Traits Glitches), you may just find that all it does is expedite the OP-ness. At least…unless you’re going straight to Honest Hearts (best bet early on)/Lonesome Road (fairly tough below level 10 but doable) or The Thorn to grind it out there 🤷🏽‍♂️
      In my experience, all it does is give you ammo/supplies for stuff you may or may not use or let sit in the Dumpster by Chet’s shop or the Lucky 38.
      - The Sturdy Caravan Shotgun + Light Leather Armor has wildly wide spread but more damage (so nearly useless against tough smaller enemies) but does get you by until you get Metal Armor (or the Reinforced version)
      - the Fallout 1-esqe “Weathered 10mm Pistol” + awesome Armored Vault 13 Jumpsuit is nominally better until you run out of ammo (hard to find 10mm ammo early on or in good amounts inside Goodsprings) but the Vault Jumpsuit is fairly hardy
      - Tribal Raider Armor + Broad Machete + Bleak Venom + 10 Throwing Spears is the closest thing to “not overpowered” here but does make for the optimal Early Game melee build! It teaches you (more like nudges you as to) how to use Poisons on your Melee Weapons, gives you a taste of thrown weapons AND Sneak since Throwing Spears are DEVASTATING at medium to high Melee Weapons skill, and gives you the best (imo) starting weapon of the bunch: a unique variant of the Machete that doesn’t have dogsh*t durability as well as fair damage for that point of the game (and even up to mid-game w/ Poisons); the Raider Armor sucks, but isn’t too huge of a leap like the Lightweight Leather or Metal Armor(s) are. It’s also nice to have if you’re the type to sell your weapons/gear you don’t use for caps. Personally, I just repair it all then pickpocket it all back from Raul after finishing Crazy Crazy Crazy lol
      - the most OP of them all is OBVIOUSLY the one with the Lightweight Metal Armor (Medium…but -1 AGI, 20 weight, 12 DT, a lot of durability), Mercenary’s Grenade Rifle (that can be modded just like the Weath. 10mm Pistol), and the 3x Doctor Bags/Super Stimpaks. That, I totally understand. However, due to how wonky the Grenade Rifle is in terms of blast area and “damage dispersal”, most new players would be pretty turned off by it since it’s a bit of a double-edged sword. Still…it’s very handy early on and the armor along with it practically makes it easier to manage. But the Super Stimpaks + Doctor Bags are what make this “Mercenary Pack” so OP 🤷🏽‍♂️
      I mostly say it’s S-Tier not just because of the free stuff, but because it’s great for people who want to experiment on their second go-around with a new “build” while still having the fundamentals within each Pack. It incentivizes you to pretty much look at what you were given and figure out what skills make what work better while making the Tutorial area significantly quicker to get through.
      The tedium of going to the abandoned school to “dig around for stuff” and crush bugs, follow around Sunny to learn the basics (and save the Goodsprings Resident for Clout), and even the whole “save the town or take it over” section? Sorted and aborted in a fraction of the time!
      Or, if you’re like me, you’re just killing all the Geckos, Coyotes, Bark Scorpions, and that Malcolm weirdo looking for Blue Star Bottle Caps over and over to look Hides to sell -> check Chet’s inventory for the Recharger Rifle (or Turbo) and buy it…or a Single Shotgun and .22 Silenced Pistol to fix the one you can steal -> Sleep/Wait 3 Days outside to do it all over again to make more Caps or get lucky* to find the Recharger Rifle/.22 Sil. Pistol (or a Spare) -> rinse and repeat until you have 3-5 of them to last you to Level 5-10 and really get going
      *you can always Wait-Save @ 11pm in front of Chet to get to 12am of the day of his restock then immediately load up that save to check if he has anything you want/need (3x Turpentine, 3x Scrap Metal, guns, Mods, etc.)…then if he doesn’t, just reload the save again to clear that inventory and then do it again (wait from 11:xxpm to 12:xxam) and reload again to re-roll the inventory! It saves HOURS of retrying for it if you’re not wanting to do the physical IRL 1 1/2 to 2 minutes of waiting 3 In-Game Days!
      Edit: just remembered that Vault 13 Canteen from the Classic Pack. It’s fairly useless unless you’re playing on Hardcore, so you have a point there. Either way, you could always just drop it and use it as a decoration for your Lucky 38 Suite, Novac Motel Room, Victor’s Shack, or your Room at The Sink in OWB…or just sell it if you don’t want the advantage. Either way, all of them are just options you can opt out of. I always just immediately go for the Recharger Rifle from Chet (or Goodsprings Cave, REPCONN Test Site, or the Silver Rush), collect everything from whatever I merked with it, then immediately start repairing it through Raul and selling extras of what I don’t want. That’s OPtimal!

      @@yeez13 It's true that the area around Goodsprings has plenty of powerful weapons, but in those cases, you at least have to walk somewhere and maybe kill a few enemies to get them.
      On the other hand, the DLC just gives them to you for free, no effort required at all, that's my main issue, it's not that the weapons themselves are anything fantastic, it's the way you instantly get them that's an issue for me. To me, it feels no different from just spawning them through the console.

    Wait do you really hear about Big MT supposed to be area 51 ? I thought it had already been mentioned in previous games, like in fallout 3 in the pentagon where they mention that area 51 is holding alien corpses and that they are also reverse engineering chinese stealth fighters there
