I had a much more fun time with this DLC then I did with Honest Heart, I liked it more for 3 reasons.

Reason 1: better writing and more interesting characters. While Joshua Graham is a great character no one else in Honest Heart could interest me in anyways, here every one is interesting. We got a Super Mutant with a split personality, a mute, an asshole, and a borderline insane man who put bomb collars on you in order to break into a Casino, think Oceans 11 but with Bioshock.

Reason 2: The area of The Sierra Madre
The Sierra Madre I think is a much more interesting and unique place to explore in Fallout NV, with its Mexican-inspired architecture, to the toxic gas everywhere that can kill you instantly if you say in it too long, along with the Casio itself just being really creepy with how empty it feels, giving it a haunted feeling. Compare this to Honest Heart, where everything just feels like something you'd find in the base game.

Reason 3: A much better group of enemies.
In honest Heart, the only enemies you had were an evil tribe and some Mutated Bear, which just felt like a letdown, here it feels much more interesting. Instead of just a group of raders who also want to rob the Casio, it's a bunch of what I can only describe as fast jumping zombies that require you to destroy the head, and you also have Holograms which are kinda ghost, you can't kill them so you have to stealth around them, there not too threatening but they help give the DLC more of a spooky atmosphere.

Overall I really enjoyed this and saying that is making me get my hopes up for the last 2, and by my luck me saying that they will probably not be very good.
