Am I the only person who thinks that Dead Money is the best DLC of the four?
Not including Gun Runners Arsenal (which is also very well done).

Writing wise, yeah.

I'd disagree on GRA being well done though.

Most people think Dead Money is the worst, you are in the minority. Old world blues usually is noted as the best, to me Dead money is dingy, ugly environment, maze-like city very icky, bla, the enemies minor and repetative. Pretty easy to break the bank with bad money mechanics and problems they didn't think out properly. To me, its a chore to play through it where as I much more enjoy Old world blues.

old world blues, funny, enjoyable, nice house, big area, can get back to it after you finish it, bring items in and out, etc.

dead money.. one shot dlc, can't go back, can't leave and return, can leave with basically unlimited money if you do it right which shouldn't be the case, again, ugly dingy bad environment DLC that i hated the first time i played through it, and really dislike it every time i have to do it again.

For me Dead Money is better than Honest Hearts, but not nearly as good as Old World Blues or Lonesome Road.

My overall favorite is Lonesome Road. And Yes, I agree that it is kind of stupid that all you do is try to reach Ulysses. But for me, I love Lonesome Road because of teh environment, the atmosphere, and the fact that is finally answers all the questions.

To finally get to why I quoted EolSunder, it was because Old World blues is my (very close) second favorite DLC. All his reasons are mine as well, both for OWB and DM. Don't get me wong, Dead Money was an ok DLC, but I just hated how linear everything was. Go here, do this, and in the end you cant eve use the Sierra Madre as a player house. It makes sense, but I still didn't like it.

I made a thread about this a few days back, either people love it or hate it.

Personally, i also think it is the best DLC, and it's always the highlight of a character play through. The other DLCs are good too, but they just lack that punch that dead money has IMO.

You guys are right on Old World Blues being wonderful. I remember the first time I talked to the scientists and the first time I reactivated the Book Chute and Toaster. I was laughing at every single bit of dialogue.

I'd have to agree with Coathanger, too, though. The story was awesome. The opening scene still gives me chills with how well written the story is. And also the first time I played through was definitely piss-annoying.

It's about half-half actually. DM is just a love it or hate it DLC, but the haters are nowhere near in the significant majority.

All tbe DLC's are pretty like or disliked in relatively equal measure. I hate Lonesome Road but love Dead Money, for example.

Thank you for "Gun Runners Arsenal", missed that one. Do I need to start a new game to enjoy this mod ?

Btw, a nice non-dlc mod is "Project Brazil", they are doing something very enjoyable and professional.

Nah you can add the gun runner's arsenal any time. It just adds a whack of weapons and weapon mods into the game in leveled lists and a bunch of unique weapons that are sold by various shopkeepers.

Great mod though cus it brings back lots of old weapons from fallout 1 and 2, as well as a lot of cool new unique weapons.

It also adds a bunch of new challenges like those ones that are like "kill 200 abomonations" and such that give you experience, some pretty unique (like one titled "a man chooses, a slave obeys" and it requires you kill Mr. House with a golf club, in reference to the first bioshock game).

I liked Dead Money better than Honest Hearts and I have yet to try Lonesome Road (which seems to be nigh-universally hated), so I'll have to say DM is my second most favorite DLC. Old World Blues takes the cake though.

This is perfectly true. However, you may want to wait in some remote cell for at least three in-game days, in order for the merchants to resupply. Otherwise you won't see any of those flashy new weapons for a while.

I really enjoyed Lonesome Road. I mean there's some weird stuff and the end fight is pretty hard if you don't at least have some pretty high skills (I think science is needed for that fight if you don't talk your way out of it.) But I thought finally killing the dude who tried to leave his impression on all my other dlcs was nice. This is my world, you don't get to explore it.

The 20mm APW is great. Shame I cant strap it side by side to the Bushmaster.
I like Dead Money from the first time i was in. It change de pace of the game and i anderstand why so much hate it because they become weak, without gears, med and without of the best weapons in the game. I like using stealh and take my time and i be honest, this dlc scare me more because everything in this dlc is deathly and i love it for that ( I play hardcore, very hard, and with 1 life, if i die am dead for good ). After that come Old world blue ( funny and i like tech in it ), lonesome road ( dark tone like it but is just a straight line dlc :( ) And the worst dlc ever made is Honest Heart, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ this dlc is boring. ( If you have to make a tribal like dlc, make it possible to do it at lv 10, because everything in this dlc is useless, no city, no good locations, no suprise in it, is just zzzzz
