I think we all know the positives that are talked about, so I'll just say what I didn't like. The combat to me isn't fun or engaging. You just point and shoot for a few seconds. The main story is fine, but I think the writing really shines within the DLC.

Honest Hearts: Not much to say here. I liked it, Joshua and Daniel made for an interesting opposing ideological force.

Dead Money: This DLC is interesting. I hate exploring the area, but the Companions are incredibly written. Complex and differing personalities, and depending on how you intereact with one another changes how they help you in the end. The Fog, Radio, and Ghost People were interisting mechanics that did not work.

Old World Blues: A fun setting with fun characters. It's sci-fi gone wrong and it's beautiful.

The Lonesome Road: Old World Blues is the one I have often seen praised as the best DLC, for good reason, but Lonesome Road is by far my favorite. Ulysses is amazingly written and acted, the story of the DLC is great. Throughout the DLC and the base game we've heard of Ulysses and his exploits, now we meet him.

I have played this game for years and will continue to play it for years to come. Maybe my opinions will change, maybe I'll discover something new to experience. As we all know, the hardest part is letting go.
