Chris Avellone is an amazing writer, old world blues was hilarious and probably the most well written of all the DLCs. I hated Dead Money, don't remember how good the writing was on tht. Shame that Avellone left Obsidian so if we get a New Vegas 2 he probably won't be a part of it.

Honest Hearts was one that had a lot of potential but was apparently butchered.

Apparently Chris Avellone is working for Bethesda now (sort of). I was looking for news on where he is these days (I had completely forgotten he left Obsidian) and found this. Maybe part of a deal to get to make more Fallout games?

[SOLDIER First]

Dead Money was pretty well-written IMO.

The only thing I don't care much for Chris Avellone is how obsessed he is with Fallout just remaining a cesspit of non-civilization, preferring things never advance back to the civilization era, alongside that of being a bit darker then most care for I believe.

I personally really like the writing of dead money. Second to OWBs, of course, but far superior to HH (and LR never worked for me log enough to finish it).

Dead Money was pretty well-written IMO.

From watching a play through, I agree that the writing of Dead Money was quite good. The gameplay, what with the radios, corrosive clouds, resurrecting enemies and unkillable holograms, seemed very frustrating though. Maybe it was meant as a really steep hill to emphasis how far people will go for greed and revenge.

Honest Hearts seemed interesting but kind of short on development. Lonesome Road had a nice setting with the Divide but didn't seem to succeed with making the player care about what happened.

_{The feeling when actually really like Cyrodiil despite the lack of jungle, like a heretic.}

Honestly, if the world was a fairer place, Obsidian would get another stab at making a Fallout game. They do a better job at it, by and large. They'd be quids in the moment it was announced. The environments would be a lot more flat and drab, perhaps, but they are better at making them matter.

Also in honesty, as the years has gone by, I've felt more and more like an intruder in the Fallout circle. I am a Nirn boy, and I've really come to understand why the lads at No Mutants Allowed are like they are. I didn't play the original Fallouts when they were relatively fresh, as it happens. I didn't know English at the time, which is rather the handicap when you try to play those games. I appreciate their charm, but I don't really like to play them even today, when I can. It might simply be too late, or maybe I'm just too shallow. Hence the feeling of intrusion, like I'm a settler that has muscled in on the native's land and just now thought about it.

To chin myself up; Dogmeat. I love that dog. The game thrusts other companions in your arms every chance it gets, but I'll stand by Dogmeat. Even when he herds up every monster in the neighbourhood I was hoping to sneak past. Even though his main contribution to a lot of battles is lying around whimpering in the thick of it. Even when he runs through the pile of guff I was scrapping and scattering the lot before the winds and aaarrrgh, Dogmeeeaaat..!!

[forsaken1111]

I left dogmeat at some settlement in my latest playthrough, forget which one. I've never seen the appeal. Guess I'm not a dog person.

It would be interesting to see Obsidian take on the fallout franchise again but I honestly really enjoyed the new fallouts more than the originals. I've spent WAY more time on them as well.

Dead money had an excellent story, but the gameplay is a fucking awful forced-stealth bullshit slog.

[Iceblaster]

Am I the only one who actually liked playing dead money...? I really hate having to defend myself whenever this comes up. I can't say why, but I just like it.

[Persus13]

I liked Dead Money because it was different enough from the main game to be a refreshing change of pace, unlike Lonesome Road or to some extent Honest Hearts, which felt like continuations of the main game.

[Iceblaster]

Yay! There's like. Dozens of us who liked it

You know, I thought NV sucked compared to 3.

The story was... Boring? (not quite the right word, but I didn't like it much), the DLC was terrible (3's DLC was generally OK, but not great. Except Broken Steel, that was awesome), the map design was just bad (invisible walls all over the place? why?).

I hope Obsidian never gets another chance at a Fallout game.

F4 has issues (the new dialog system sucks, amoung other things), so I really hope TES 6 takes a page from F3, Skyrim, or Oblivion instead of F4 (morrowind wasn't that great, the story and world were cool, but the gameplay suffers from age).
