FNV in a nutshell “Angry mail man gets shot in the head digs himself out of the grave (all victor the goat) then recovers and now suffering from frontal lobe damage (1 charisma min max build slandered) and a this angry mail man is so hell bent on revenge he some how gets mixed up in “POLITICS” and now he has to decide between literal “SLAVERY” (but no taxes) or “TAXES” (and no slavery) then there’s always the 261 year old “LIBERTARIAN DICTATOR” who wishes the best for the future but is to much of a “BITCH” to do anything or there’s always the choice of sizing power becoming king pin maybe even seeing to some of the “LOCALS” while your at it 😅.
Lonesome road to me feels like the thematic end of the older fallout games. We always hear the phrase ''war ... war never changes'' but in the dlc they add into the line ''if war doesn't change , men must change.''
Yeah, it has a lot of finality to it. If you could go past the battle of hoover dam, the DLCs (Dead Money, Honest Hearts, Old World Blues, and Lonesome Road) would be a fourth act. Like how fallout 3's DLCs function as a fourth act. I like to think the east coast fallouts are the farthest things from the west coast. Since the west coast sort of contain an overarching narrative through the all three games, while 3, 4, and 76 all feel very disconnected from one another.
@@plutoniumrocksI agree. The next Fallout Game needs a boss at the level of a Master or Frank Horrigan. Lanius is a good encounter, but doesn't have the feeling of hopelessness or high pressure. Ulysses does it better, but his is a DLC meant to happen before the Hoover Dam battle, and Oliver feels more like a mini boss. The next main game end boss needs to feel insurmountable to give it that old Fallout feel. I like NV, I liked 3 and 4, but it's time to give us a real end boss again.
I like how the Lonesome Road gives the playable character a rich history without giving a definitive past allegiance with any factions and leaving their intentions vague(Ulysses himself only theorizing as to why Courier made the final delivery to the Divide), thus still leaving the true personality of Courier to the players and not hindering the roleplay make-your-own-character element.
the whole thing was ulysses blaming himself for not taking package and that hiding it or etc but gave someone else responsibility who had no idea what it was for
A lot of people don't like it because its not 110% ambiguous but yeah I think they really nailed a very thoughtful story for your player character, that like you said still leaves room for your own interpretation. They kind of did the impossible.
@@kingzded5130 Ran into Quarry Junction armed with a Riot Shotgun, "Push Back" Perk and the perk that slows down time like Turbo 5 times a day. Quarry Junction was cleared literally within 3minutes.
I like how Ulysses continued the phrase "War never changes" which originally was more cynical, by adding "... Men do, through the roads they walk" which is ending it on a more positive note.
I guess he hasn't played point lookout. In ttw, I get easily killed in four shots by Swampfolk while wearing hellfire power armor and having two points in toughness.

Best dlc for a bethesda game across the board imo My bias comes from my favorite enemies Antagonist Armor And favorite companion upgrades All wrapped in one blown tf up truck stop city off the freeway The aesthetic of the divide on your first playthrough is just fkn ominous and i love every second of it (Get all of ed es upgrades in here youll thank me later)
@@Stahlvanten yes and all the flavor new Vegas has is the obsidian aesthetic and it's chefs kiss, I did know that but I consider lonesome road better than other titles dlc that were Bethesda; so I had to say it like that lol. Honestly I am hopeful seeing they're both under the Microsoft umbrella now we get a new Vegas remaster. Would be awesome on a switch but that would require Nintendo being open to that as well .
@@Rubyredacted I would be mind blown by the simple fact that they makes a New Vegas remaster. I lost hope on that a couple of years ago, but maybe, hopefully now they will put some actual resources into that project.
The level design of the various locations of the divide has gotta be my favorite of any game ive played. The boxwood hotel/canyon section is the coolest fucking section of any fallout game
The Lonesome Road is a hard path to walk but at least Ulysses’ voice soothes the pain, I will listen to bear and bull man forever. Also fun fact; he's got the same voice actor as the biological research station in OWB
as a newcomer, i can't get over the fact that a youtuber as awesome as you knows who Queens of the Stone Age are and, of course them crooked vultures. Thank you for educating the populace with musical knowledge. That said,i love your vids bruh been watching you for only a week and are entertaining as hell! rock on brother
Might be worth noting at the Crow's Nest there is an advanced variation of the Riot Gear. There is also an Elite-variant at the Third Street Municipal Building.
I can't believe I've played this dlc the same time as this channel that I've never heard of. It's a bless to discover humorous and clever takes on a gameplay that is not a lazy highlight of a live. You've gained a subscriber 👍🏻
When one ask me about what the world looks like after nuclear devastation I picture the divide, it ruin building's and hazardous terrain is what i picture. Also when i first play my courier was a cowboy, think the good, the bad and the ugly, and the idea of lonsome road bieng the final road to walk is such a brillant theme, as well i like to imagine the courier consider the divide to be the final destination as they know the divide is the last place they wish to go.
New Vegas without DLC was already great. New Vegas with DLCs is the best story based game period. The fact that the game has so many problems and still rank that high lets me think what New Vegas could have been if Bethesda didn't offer Obsidian that shitty deal. I mean this was made in one year.
“I don’t even know what I’m doing, I just started hittin’ shit!” It’s so funny bc that’s the exact reaction the devs wanted you to have, and why Ulysses hates the Courier so much
You should play the fallout 3 DLCs next! They aren’t quite as good as the FNV dlc’s except maybe point lookout (that’s probably one of my favourite fallout DLCs) OR you should play the shivering isles DLC from oblivion, which is honestly amazing, I’ve heard people call it one of the best expansions for a game ever, it really feels like you’re exploring a new fantasy realm completely alien to you, reminiscent of morrowind in a way, with a lot of very interesting characters and diverging story pathways. And if you’ve never played morrowind I would highly recommend trying to, it can be a little weird to get into at first(I bounced off it the first few times I tried but that was also more than ten years ago when I was like 12) The game right out of the box doesn’t work well with modern systems and resolution, but there’s a fan project called OpenMW which is basically the game on an entirely rewritten engine(iirc) that fixes all those issues and adds a lot of QoL changes to it while keeping it as close to the vanilla game as possible. It’s what finally got me to experience and fall in love with the game a little more than a year ago when I was 23 Sorry for the long ass comment and all the “can you do this or that” I just recently found your channel and it seems like we have a pretty similar taste in games from what you have been playing on here, and these all would probably resonate with a lot of your fan base, and Morrowind content doesn’t come out too often especially, so when a good UA-camr starts making videos in it they usually do pretty well with the mw community
"I've got a great idea for this DLC. Why don't we have another courier hate the protagonist for being a courier and doing their job? Oh, and make the player detonate a bunch of left-over nukes to make any progress."
Fun fact you missed not only the advanced riot gear (in the crows nest) and the elite riot gear (in the top floor of the third street municipal building)
you probably don't care but at the two nuked places, the Long 15 and Dry Wells, are two high ranking individuals that have some of the COOLEST armor in the game (they're the only two named enemies at each place) also bring rad-x and radaway
What the name of the music at 12:31? I know I've heard it somewhere. Reminds me of the music for Oppenheimer vs Thanos, but I've heard it somewhere else too.
Didnt know this was supposed to be the grand finale to New Vegas, I completed it before the main story and I was only at level 19. Nuked the Legion and the NCR.
I just gave up on my most recent playthrough because the console version of FNV is and will remain buggy af and some quests simply break. Say I wanna pick it up on Steam. What mods should I search for for a smoother experience?
Its the hardest/easiest dlc for a reason but still i prefer starting with this as first.

But if you already beat this in the past is the shortest the most linear and enemy spawn are the most predictable than anything else.

in my opinion this is the first dlc and it was easy the deathclaws were not much of a problem if you get the shoulder mounted Machine gun and or the sniper.
Just realized and made me wonder if Ulysses chose his name from Ulysses grant, in which case, its a little silly he supports slavery from the legion rather than conservatism from the NCR
Baldurs gate 3 content or nah? Dark urge playthrough is mad funny, im usually into shooters so it was definitely a learning curve but fun once you figure out the gameplay mechanics
My favourite DLC, bear bull bear bull bear bull dredlocks Man vs the Courier who just had a lobotomy

Ulysses: “You took everything from me.”
“I don’t even know who you are.”
Alternatively: "You took everything from me-"
"NUH-UH!"

Its the hardest/easiest dlc for a reason but still i prefer starting with this as first.
Is the hardest for a first timer because enemies are acting as organised until with strong equipment and they are bulletsponge also the deathclaws are insane.
But if you already beat this in the past is the shortest the most linear and enemy spawn are the most predictable than anything else.
I beat this at 30 level at extra hard hardcore with many chems and crafted bombs from mad bomber.
I made many turbo as a can nuke mines med x phyco and i had the shotgun perks.
Is the best dlc to beat as first because you can benefit with the best armour in the game.
Also if you leave ed-e behind the Ulysses temple you can had the loansome road perk 10% damage.
Also you can had ncr duster & sierra scorched power armour if you do the right choices both very beneficial specifically for the other dlcs.
What I find funny is the higher level you are the harder the DLC is cuz the enemies can just become bullet sponges so
Queens of the Stone Age
