I think this game's development is one of the most impressive feats in the history of the medium. The whole thing was made in 18 months and it turned out as amazing as it is. The game is buggy as shit but I'm glad they prioritized the writing over everything else.
I have a hard time articulating why this game is so great honestly. You just need to experience the world and characters for yourself.
One of the best games ever made.

The best New Vegas DLC. The Divide is the most overtly apocalyptic setting in the game and provides an excellent background for the events of the expansion. Ulysses is also a pretty interesting character, and discovering his motives and how they link with the Courier's backstory is fascinating.
What puts this above Dead Money for me is that the gameplay is actually fun. This is a very endgame DLC so they just shower you with interesting loot and ammo to take on the formidable forces of the Divide. I do think Dead Money's story was stronger though.
An excellent conclusion to an excellent DLC lineup.
ED-E is also my goat of all time.

I want to make it known that it is 100% praise when I say this is the stupidest thing I've played in a minute. They really cut loose with the plot and weaponry with OWB and after the previous 2 DLCs played everything so straight it was a welcome breath of fresh air. I also enjoy the format of this DLC. Unlike the rest of New Vegas' expansions it follows the traditional Bethesda style of DLC (e.g. the Dragonborn expansion for Skyrim) that can be returned to and completed whenever the player wants. While I do think the definitive endings in the 3 others are a positive, I think this was a smart choice for this OWB specifically because of its much lighter tone. This story doesn't really need a definitive ending anyway. On top of the great writing and weapons, the backstory it provides for locations and monsters from the base game are also really cool and interesting.
This was the only one of New Vegas' DLCs that I hadn't played before this playthrough and I really enjoyed it. Another solid entry in the catalogue.
