No, but my luck was.

>>714881513
LR sucked, I'd put it last

>>714881513
OWB sucks because it's rick and morty the game.

LR sucks because it's chris avellone impotently whining.

DM sucks because the story makes absolutely no sense.

HH is good but too short.

>>714881067 (OP)
OWB is like Venture Bros (I don't just say that because of the VAs) crossed with Portal. Recall when pseudo science in scifi was funny before the memes came and ruined it, before I HECKING LOVE SCIENCE took off. Hell that reddit humor was based on this, tried to copy this, but twisted it into gaydom.

>>714881513
i loved crawling through toppled buildings and walking through highways

>>714881656
In terms of the best DLCs i would say
dead Money > OWB > Honest hearts > LR

Dead Money was just great all around really enjoyable setting.
OWB and Honest hearts truthfuly can be swapped back and forth with one another i feel. OWB had a better upfront story, but the terminal stories and the father in the caves background story was really good in Honest hearts.

LR was very MEH, the story was kinda shit, but the zone was kinda cool. The best thing from that entire DLC was getting the advanced riot gear that was about it.

Comparing everything to Rick And Morty to try to shame people into disliking everything is the sure sign of someone who is not intelligent.

>>714881882
>venture bros
Literally the progenitor of Rick and Morty, equally cringe and unfunny.
>portal
First one barely had any jokes in it, which was why the few it did have were funny. OWB hits you with so many (awful) jokes and pop culture references it's like being stuck in an endless Family Guy cutaway gag.

I mean, it's an endless barrage of pretentious reddit-humor coupled with sex and pop-culture scifi references. All it's missing is the fedora tipping.

>>714881067 (OP)
It's a fun DLC. Mobius is a good antagonist.

>>714882394
except its not? It never tries to make pretentious jokes? The entire thing is literally just slap stick humor where the guys you are helping are fucking idiots and you are the only sane one.
To be pretensious would imply that they are making jokes that you the player dont understand, but every single joke in there is just pointing out how stupid the brains are in the SINK, like being called Zero rather hten O.

>>714882128
>Venture Bros
>equally cringe and unfunny
I'm sorry, I'm trying to get the rest of your argument but you shot yourself in the foot so hard there that I struggle to entertain anything else.
Do you like New Vegas? Or have you never taken Wild Wasteland before? The parody references, again done in an era where that degree of circlejerk wasn't commonplace in everyone's youtube videos or Marvel movies, was done tastefully. You are poisoned by the bad derrivative copycats who wanted to ride that train into creative bankruptcy.

>>714882545
Pretentious as in the writers think they're smarter than they actually are.

>>714882545
>To be pretensious would imply that they are making jokes that you the player dont understand
OR taking the joke's writing so seriously that you inflate how well.made or humerous it is. I do not get that when playing OWB either.

>>714882591
Venture Bros was a retarded (and cucked) show and I'm sick of some of you pretending otherwise.

>>714882634
in what way does anything in OWB even attempt to sound smart? its just a stylistic copy of old scifi movies and comic books.

>>714882634
Please give me an example of a joke that indicates that the writers are pretending to be smarter then they actually are in OWB.
>>714882716
Yeah thats the thing OWB is just all human based around the fact that despite the brains being the smartest people in teh world they are also the most socially inept and clueless people as well.
Thats it, thats the entire series of jokes in various forms.
Like they dont even attempt to make super vague physics or chemistry references. Like did they even ever make a reference to Schrodinger's cat? Thats like a hallmark presudo intellectual joke.

>>714882861
He must have done a high INT run (because he MUST be such a smart guy) and got mad when his own brain speaks to him rudley. I bet he also kills House and Dean every run because he can't stand someone speaking to him condescendingly and it damages his ego.

Hey asshole, that brain is YOURS, based on your INT level is how it talks to you. The game is literally calling YOU pretentious, and judging by this interaction I think it's spot on.

>>714883014
>>714883268
>it's only [insert dumb thing here] based on player choice
I guess half the NPCs being gay is fine too because it's your fault for taking the gay trait, not the writers for massively inflating the sexuality spread.

>>714883349
The entire point of the brains is that they think they are smart but they are absolutely retarded.

Pretensious would imply that they know the right answer and they ARE right, but that you are stupid for not knowing how to do it and wont waste time explaining it, just lol look at this sciecne stuff.

Over and over you have to basically fill in the gaps for the brains because they dont think far enough ahead.
Any ways its as >>714883268
you literally missed the entire point lol you literally played yourself.

>>714883464
Holy grasping at straws batman...

I just want to be clear that there can't be a definitive "best" DLC for FNV because they're so different from each other. Dead Money tried make a survival-horror in the Gamebryo. Honest Hearts is an exploration attempt. Old World Blues wanted to be a "fun" DLC with overpowered weapons and armor. Lonesome Road wanted to cater to dialogue-heavy RPG enjoyers.

Basically I type all this to really type that most players will only really like one or two of the DLCs and absolutely despise the others, and that's a good thing.

>>714883493
Pretentiousness can also come off as writers making characters do idiotic shit as a way of saying
>Look how much smarter we are than them!
which OWB does a lot, especially with its "education is communism" book chute.

That and all the pop culture references they drop to make themselves seem smart and "cultured" just because they chugged down whatever slop was popular at the time.

>>714883014
NTA but
>Dean
I let that mother fucker live every single time I like the cut of his jib, in fact i let every single companion from that DLC live.

>House
I let house run the place, or i let the NCR take over. Personally I think the best choices are either NCR or House.
Of course with the retardation of the newer stuff they ended up nuking the NCR so i guess house would have been the better option.

>>714883464
So you are saying you took the gay trait?

>>714883753
>Look how much smarter we are than them!
When only works ifthey actually ARE smarter then them, but they are not.
Using Rick and Morty as the example, Rick and morty both talk down to the viewers, which BTW Jerry is basically the audiance, and things like portal travel and all this other crazy shit is just normal and viewers are to stupid to understand it so they wont bother explaining it any way lets move on.

OWB tries to act like they are smarter and great and all their plans are perfect, but then they are to stupid to actually find a way to intact them and then the player is the one that has to actually tell them what they need to do.
>>714883905
He probably did, its a dumpster trait, the only one that was ever worth taking was black widow where female characters did more damage to male characters. other then that none of the other traits were ever worth it.

>>714884280
It started alright but ended as basically R&M.

Though that said IIRC even from the beginning it wasn't great. Lots of "lol isn't religion dumb/isn't being gay/liberal cool" stuff.

>>714881067 (OP)
I had fun with it, yes.
All the dlc are enjoyable for one reason or another but honest hearts the worst IMO.
For me its
Deadmoney>OWB>lonesome road>HH.

>>714884387
i dont know if you can understand this but when shitty characters say those things it's implying those things they say are shit not good.

Honest Hearts is carried entirely by Joshua Graham and Randall Clark. Easily the worst DLC for New Vegas.

Are there any good modding sites? I don't wanna give the living basedjacks at Nexus the traffic.

>>714884808
i love the tribal histories in fallout, also the survivalist. HH is very sincere and wholesome.

Was your IQ low enough to enjoy it?

>>714881656
>>714881513

Lonesome Road had pretty poor writing in comparison to OWB and Dead Money particularly.

Lonesome Road had the best loot - and the best companion.

Honest Hearts was probably the most fun for combat, and I did enjoy the Burning Man arc.

For me it was DM=OWB>HH>LR

>>714881775
>OWB sucks because it's rick and morty the game.
I can sort of see this - but it was out two years before Rick and Morty, and I don't mind that humour. It's a very different tone for sure - more comic bookish, but Fallout does that all the time.

>LR sucks because it's chris avellone impotently whining.
I agree the writing is pretty poor in LR. It's like a 17 year old thinking they're deep because they found a Bob Dylan quote and posted it on Instagram.

>DM sucks because the story makes absolutely no sense.
DM is a pastiche of a Gothic love story, and some of the more creepy 1940s and 50s thrillers, it makes absolute sense if you're familiar with the genre.

>HH is good but too short.
Yup.

>>714881067 (OP)
I feel like an eternal contrarian for think LR and HH are thr beat DLCs depending on what you want.
>You want combat amd crazy good Loot?
LR. OWB gets praised for the same reason but it has a cringe basedience aesyhetic and overall a much shittier less-fallout feel to it.
>you want good writing and interesting characters
HH. But DM has way better characters! Right? Debatable, it simply has MORE characters. The gameplay shift DM has that makes it play completely differently from the rest of the game is frankly shit. HH feels like a true extension of the base game and plays closest to it in structure.

>>714885394
I mean, yeah, that's the main thread of the plot: finding out Mobius is the good guy and the rest of the Big MT needs to be contained.

>>714891001
>The gameplay shift DM has that makes it play completely differently from the rest of the game is frankly shit
Skill issue, it makes perfect sense and its not hard to become overpowered again

Dead Money is genuinely psychic torture to play. It gives me a migraine every time. It probably has the best story and dialogue, however.
Old World Blues is written by reddit, very buggy, and gives you way too much overpowered shit. I don't like it.
Honest Hearts has the best setting and characters but the dialog is bad, it's waaaay too short, and the plot seems unfinished.
Lonesome Road is probably the best one in terms of gameplay. On hard+hardcore+jsawyer it is very difficult and very fun. The dialog is fucking hilariously bad though. Ulysses is a genuinely awful character.

I think the setting and concept for all the DLCs is good but the writing, particularly the dialog, feels like it was written all by one person who is not very good at writing.

>Sunil Malhotra, the brain's voice actor, stated that his performance was an homage to Stewie Griffin from Family Guy, and that "Stewie basically lives in MY brain, so naturally..."
I'd say Honest Hearts was my favorite. It was straightforward, even if it's so short. OWB and DM were such a rollercoaster ride when it came to quality I couldn't even play Lonesome Road past the first few minutes.

i like how lonesome lonesomeroad is, just plodding forwards through neverending ruins

God DW had such a momentum then. How the fuck did they mannage to kill such golden goose?

>>714881513
Dead Money was the only good dlc for New Vegas. Fallout 3's story might of been retarded but it's dlcs were fun.

>>714881067 (OP)
The opening was funny when I was a kid but I'd probably find it cringe and reddit now. Even back then I never liked anything else about the DLC. Absurdly spongey enemies made it an absolute chore to play.

>>714897931
>yelling loud phrases with attempted quirky personalities isn't funny
You’re right it’s not funny, because it’s not supposed to be. The entire DLC is presented as being some Saturday morning cartoon fight between a group of geniuses and a mad scientist with a bunch of terrible shit going on. But then as you get through it you find out that the mad scientist is just groups tard wrangler and he’s there to make sure they don’t find out that there is shit outside of their bubble. They’re not acting like that because “le hecking quirk chungus” they’re acting like that because they’re all mentally unstable brains in jars that have been placed in what is effectively a time loop where they are mind wiped and have to do the same shit over and over on a daily basis. It’s all just busy work. How the did you miss that? Did you actually play the DLC? Because it’s not some blink and you miss it thing, it’s a major part of the story and you can see it in the behavior of all the doctors, literally, repetition and concepts of never ending and infinity are in their names. But I guess that doesn’t matter because “the whacky science jar said the word that made me think of the reddit show so it’s bad”

>>714881067 (OP)

>>714881067 (OP)
The writing is fine. I actually kind of liked the motiff of intelligence being more than just the brain. The idea that a smart person is more than just their brain. That our behaviors are regulated by other bodily functions.

The main problem is just that the gameplay sucks. It's just a bunch of fetch quests with recycled dungeons. And it's also really, really ugly. The map and enemies just look atrocious.

>>714901023
Fuck Sinclair, no really it was just sheer pettiness.

Main, BM and HH story didn't felt as forced as OWB and LR. I still do them every time because of loot, but it is a bit stale

>>714883146
The reason is that there is more to a human than the brain. The point out at multiple points how their behavior is different because they lack other bodily functions, they can't produce all the hormones a full human does. The point of it all is basically to make fun of the idea that a humans personality and soul, or intelligence more narrowly, is only made up of the brain. The idea that we are just "a brain controlling a body". A person is more than that, and our personalities and soul are not just the brain.

DM>HH>LR>>>OWB

Dead money just has a wonderful story and aesthetic. The characters are just so interesting and so much fun. Unraveling the backstory in a non-linear way was also great. I will say that the gameplay and visuals are pretty poor before you get into the casino however.

Honest Hearts is a well rounded DLC with a good story and characters as well. I personally just like the whole dark and oppressive aesthetic of DM more. I can definitely get why someone would put it first, it might be objectively looking at it the most quality DLC, although it is a bit short.

Lonesome Road is decent, however I personally just don't like how linear it all is. There's also no other characters but Ulysses and the robot. I do like the atmosphere though. And while I personally don't love the linearity, I do kind of enjoy that feeling of just going and going further and further with the combat getting progressively more difficult. Due to it's linear design, it does have the most difficult and engaging combat scenarios out of everything in FNV.

Old World Blues has terrible gameplay, with terrible, repetitive quests. I personally don't mind the writing but I can understand how it might be annoying for other people. It's also visually the most ugly.
