Honest Hearts horribly boring

[Patryk]

The main game is amazing, but this dlc bored me to death. Is every DLC that bad or just this one?

[Vassago Rain]

All the DLCs are very different experiences, so probably not. What part of honest hearts did you find boring?

[Patryk]

The lack of unique encounters, enemies are way too easy to kill (i am not overleveled). I didnt liked the story either, the majority of the quests requires you to go there, pick an item or two, then go back and do the same. If you compare them to quests like "Come Fly With Me" or "That Lucky Old Sun", they are just boring. I cant even force myself to finish the main storyline, but im near the end of it. The characters are rather bland, only Joshua seemed quite intresting. New companions are nowhere near the level of ED or Boone. I dont know why, but this DLC is full of glitches, at least for me. The main game is nowhere near that level of bugfest.

Yeah honest hearts is easily the most lackluster of the dlc. I'd suggest dead Money if you want one that's real engaging and interesting

[Kvinden]

The dlc are the only part where ennemies are leveled.
In Honest hearts you can do anything you want, you don't have to obey.
Of course it is easier if you stay in friendly terms with the tribals but at the end it doesn't change anything. You can just slaughter them all, the result will be exactly the same.

Just get some .45 stuffs and GET OUTTA THERE!

I personally prefer OWB, but probably because it's totally spaced.

All DLC are distinct and different, everyone has a different favorite and a different "never play it again".

[Vita, Mortis, Careo]

Huh. Honest Hearts is my favorite part of the DLC cycle. Different strokes for different folks.

[Bansheebutt]

As far as spectacle goes, Honest Hearts is pretty light until the finale.

I really enjoy the characters, stories, and environment though, and unlike dead money you don't have to stumble around for barely visible notes and hidden terminals to find it.

old world blues is always the 1st one i do, its fun and you get good gear.

To me, Honest Hearts was incredibly boring. All you did was just shoot some stupid people who decided to try and join Caesar's Legion. Pretty simple, not much else to think about.
In Old World Blues, you've got lots to think about, doing quests for each of the specific scientists, and when you get to him, do quests for Dr. Mobius.
Hated Dead Money because I was, and forever will be, a gunslinger build, made for pistols that shot conventional bullets. That was my only problem. The story, however, was good.
The Divide was my favorite because you had lots to discover, a really good, in depth story, and a nice reference in there.
So in the end, I'm pretty sure the problem that lots of people had with Honest Hearts was that the only interesting thing about it was the .45 Auto weapons and the fact that you had the Burned Man, or Joshua Graham, in it.

Honest hearts has the survivalist storyline which is probably one of my favourite optional unmarked *quests* to follow and try find each bit of the story and see what happened.
Also nets you some pretty swish gear that is very good late game.

But yeah overall it's kinda not fantastic and bit dull and lifeless imo
6/10

Dead money is the most interesting and character driven since you kinda have to interact with the cast at some point or another. And gives you some pretty fun, spooky, survival horror experiences, but good god it gets very annoying very fast with the gameplay
And with the right dialogue choices, completely eliminate the need for any explosives or melee weapons.
7/10

Old world blues is fun, but boy is it janky, the amount of rng enemy spawn and annoying repeated stuff to get slightly better gear gets pretty grating. Some interesting lore ties though and a couple of little scavenger hunt style things but I don't enjoy returning to this dlc often. Also it's pretty crash happy.
5/10

Lonesome road, is great, very atmospheric, very heavy on storylines and full of awesome gear. The reccommended level is 100% wrong though do this after you've done everything else and before hoover dam.
9/10


I will say this the dlc for new vegas is leaps and bounds above everything fallout 3 had sans point lookout. ( I don't really count broken steel since it's main game continuation and kinda sketchy now given bethesda's reputation)

And 100% better than everything fallout 4 had to offer in its dlc

I do dead Money all the time with conventional pistol builds (they're my favourite) and have no problems. Sure it's not a breeze like an unarmed guy, but unarmed guys are op throughout the entire game.

It's actually my favourite when done with pistol builds.

Honest Hearts only has two things good about it: A) Joshua Graham, and B) Mountains that aren't there to conceal Obsidian's, for lack of a better word, laziness on the outside world design using it to block the player, and as an invisible wall.

Lonesome Road is a glorified on-rail shooter where they put a fake face on Ulysses and never lip synced him and added a horribly bad forced backstory on the courier.

Dead Money is fantastic and I reocmmend playing it.

Old World Blues is one of the only other competent DLC's and is a fun cheesy sci-fi adventure.

Gun Runners Arsennal is a weapon retexture pack.

Honest Hearts is less story and more just go kill this go kill that
