What's weird about this DLC vs the others is that I'm not really sold on Ulysses. Despite the super interesting teasing throughout each of them, I don't think his motivations or ideology come together into a very coherent whole. His speeches sound cool, but honestly I mostly see him as a means to get into the courier's past, which I still appreciate.

Despite lacking strong characters, Lonesome Road excels at nearly everything else. The environments are the most beautiful the game has to offer, and they lead nudge the player down a perfectly paced path. The atmosphere is thick and unique, though not overbearing like Dead Money could be at times. Combat encounters are dynamic and on higher difficulty levels require more thought and adaptation than the game typically asks of you. The gaining momentum as you walk this road and are tricked again and again just feels so GOOD and grand and I adore it.

Played through Proton on Linux. I'm going to start putting this message on things unless/until an option is added to Backloggd.
