Old World Blues was my favourite, it captured the quirky humour of 2 perfectly (even if you couldn't play chess with those Roboscorpions). Honest Hearts I would rate second because it covered tribal life and the story of The Survivor was a brilliant and poignant account of the aftermath of the War. Lonesome Road comes in a very close third and could have surpassed Honest Hearts if it hadn't been so damn linear. Dead Money comes in stone cold last. The stealth mechanics of the Gamebryo engine have always been a bit on the ropey side and so a DLC built around them was never really going to *ahem* set the world on fire.
i would say old world blues. mainly for the humor and the awesome house(the sink)
then it is between lonesome road an honest hearts because they are both decent in there own way.
honest hearts-the story is not that good but joshua graham a bad ass though. over all it was a nice place to explore
lonesome road- it's linear but that is not a bad. i am indifferent towards ulysses and Tunnelers are assholes. the journey to the last area was pretty entertaining
and the worst being dead money. at one point while at the villa i just wanted to go back to the mojove. from that point on i got my mod companion willow to the killing while i explored what i could with out the annoying radio, traps, and poisonous gas killing me. once i got to the casino it became a lot more bearable
i will try dead money again one day and attempt to do it honestly. i make no promises on the doing it honestly part. it was the only dlc that made me wish i could go back to the mojove while playing it.

That's as maybe, but in my heart I have but one desire. That one is 2, no other will do.scorptatious said:

*cough*
Old World Blues by far. from the ability to flirt with your own brain, your onmicidal toaster. How the setting of the DLC functioned on SCIENCE! (not science, but SCIENCE!)
Dead Money was just irritating,
the other two were pretty cool though.

I was actually in doubt for a second. But then I read this...
And the whole DLC is like this!
Meaning: point goes to Old World Blues.
But let it be said that both Dead Money and Lonesome Road are also pretty excellent. Dead Money has a haunting mysterious atmosphere, the likes I have not seen in a game for a while. Plus, interesting characters and an equally interesting storyline. Lonesome Road gets points for providing me with pretty much the best "post-apocalyptic feel" in recent memory - the tumbled over half-collapsed structures, garbled masses of car-wrecks and that decaying highway between stumps of skyscrapers awash with light just convey that feeling of catastrophe like not much else. It still doesn't beat Dead Money from the atmospheric point of view though, and also the whole storyline with Ulysses isn't enough to offset that. Honest Hearts I haven't played yet.

So far I've played Old World Blues and Honest Hearts, and I'm right this minute taking a break from playing Lonesome Road. Old World Blues so far stands head and shoulders above the rest for so many reasons already mentioned in this thread. Honest Hearts was still very good though, and until entering the Great Divide, Joshua Graham's armour and A Light That Shines In Darkness were my armour and weapon of choice.
Lonesome Road has so far been very good, with a story that is keeping me hooked. I've also realised that for some reason I can't quite put my finger on, ED-E is by far and away my favourite companion so far! He's the first one I've had that I actually care about when the poor little sod charges into a fight and gets himself knocked down. Maybe it's the way he still dotes on his creator, or maybe it's just because he's so different to the rest of the companions I've had so far (Boone, Cass, Rex, Lilly and Victoria) but I can't help being very fond of the little bucket of bolts!
Ironically, I've owned Dead Money since it came out, but just never gotten round to it. I guess that's the problem with a game that has as much to do and see as New Vegas...

I love old world blues just because of how insane it is, and it's a tech players candy store in terms of all the electronic weaponry to be had, though i prefer the ranger armor you get from honest harts to most any other in the game, the only thing slightly better is Ulysses duster
Dead Money had the best human characterisation.
Honest Hearts was boring.
Old World Blues was the funniest part of any game I've ever played.
Lonesome Road was immersive, atmospheric and deep.
If I had to pick, between Old World Blues and Lonesome Road. I'd still have to pick Old World Blues.

Disclaimer: I much preferred 3 to New Vegas....I really don't like New Vegas much at all.
That said, Lonesome Road was Fucking amazing. The environment, the lore, the dialogue, the nice WTF choice near the end...Easily the best in my opinion. It's on my list of things I can play over and over and over and never get bored of.
After that would be OWB. The quests were meh at best, but the characters and the general vibe of the place were awesome. Where else can you flirt with your brain and talk to homicidal toasters?
Dead Money was up near Lonesome Road storywise, and the first half has good gameplay. The second half was just dumb to the point of multiple ragequits. The nonstandard game overs you could get from it were interesting though. It also wins points for being what my favourite Fallout:Equestria chapter was based off of.
Honest Hearts was all around just meh. The only things that really stand out to me were the "get drugged out of your gourd and fight the Scary Fire Bear" quest, the constant falling off cliffs and the near infinite money you could get if you grab every bit of plant matter possible and feed it all to the perverted seed machine in The Sink.

Old World Blues was great and all, but robo-scorpions were tiresome after the first 3.
My favourite has to be Honest Hearts because it most closely mirrored the actual game... and I loved the actual game. That plus the father in the cave and Joshua Graham makes it just plain awesome.
tbh I didn't even notice that, I'd already cleared out all the casinos with my 10 Luck and stolen a virtually inexhaustible supply of pre-war money in Dead Money.

Strictly wouldn't that be a problem with OWB rather than HH?BabyRaptor said:

Old World Blues. It was easily the most fun. Also being able to talk to your own brain in a jar hilarious.
lonesomme road or old world blues.
i disliked honest hearts quite abit. the inviroment is more bland wasteland rock.
theres only a small handful of new items, and theyre not very good, they just sell for alot.
there is only 1 new enemy model, the yao-guai, and they just took the fallout 3 model for that.
all the other enemies are either humanoids, or resized mojave animals with the prefix "Zion" added. and while the burned man was badass. he wasnt nearly as badass i had thought he would be
so i feel they could have done a better job with him.

I remember plying the game and going "I know that voice, what else dose he do. GOD DAMN it this is pissing me off" Then I watched that show latter in the night and went "Oh, Yeah."Goofguy said:
Oh, no need. I was able to beat both games. Thanks though.Dr. McD said:
Also, I have played the Fallout 2 restoration patch. Made the game much more complete. I could finally save Sulik's sister. :'D
Geez, it's hard to decide.
I loved both Dead Money and Old World Blues. Both of them were amazing, but in very different ways.
I'll go with Dead Money. But only by a hair.
Wasn't very fond of Honest Hearts (not bad, just not my taste), and the requirements for the dialogue offerings in Lonesome Road really annoy me.

Old World Blues for humor and general awesomeness, with Dead Money a close second for the difficulty(I beat the game on Very Hard difficulty with Hardcore Mode on and found it too easy at most fights). I refuse to accept the Lonesome Road as canon. Backstory for a character that I friggen make is not necessary, I make up my own backstory, thank you very much.
On lonesome road I usually imagine that the guy who did all that stuff just looked like me, and I play along with it because... I have no idea. That is why lonesome road ruined the game for me.
Captcha: "Wild Wasteland". Sorry captcha, I usually keep that perk off.

I liked Lonesome Road, but, it wasn't really the end result I liked, but the idea. Fallout New Vegas was almost too disjointed in it's main plot, and most of the DLC's were straightforward and felt like true stories, but it was Lonesome Road that felt the most harrowing. Dead Money was a tragic tale, and well told. Honest Hearts showed us another side of the wasteland and how humanities innocence is lost in critical decisions. Old World Blues shows us that power is made through need but can quickly grow unchecked and destroy. Lonesome Road was showing that with the right tools and an almost inhuman drive, people can change history, and can write the future; which was where I was both enamored and disappointed.
Lonesome road aimed high and missed, it was underwhelming, but the trailer captures the right spirit for the DLC, watch that again and see what the DLC could have been, and that's what I loved about it.
