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.
