Are any of the DLC like point lookout?

Ive bought the 4 DLC, but only played Dead Money. I expected DM to be like it was, with just the villa and the casino, but are any of the other 3 like Point Lookout with a good size map? or are they all like DM where theres no real overworld map, just locations or "missions"? that you take from point A to point B?

Old World Blues. It's a big map with a bunch of areas to explore that are not required in the main quest. Hell, you even get different endings depending on what you find.

To a smaller degree, Honest Hearts. The map is relatively small, but the terrain is interesting and more "vertical" than usual. There are also a number of places to explore, that often piece together the backstory of Zion, which is actually more compelling than that DLC's main plot.

I'm fairly sure that Honest Hearts and Old World Blues are relatively the same size in terms of maps. Old World Blues does cater more to the exploration fanatic and will probably give more gameplay, though IMO at the expense of a good story. But yeah, both Old World Blues and Honest Hearts are similar to Point Lookout. Lonesome Road is linear, but has multiple endings based on the decisions you make.

Honest Hearts and Old World Blues are your best bet, Honest Hearts has the whole local tribal thing going so that may be what your after, but Old World Blues has better exploration and is a hell of alot funnier, in my opinion.

Thanks! Ive already finished Honest Hearts and I enjoyed it well enough. I hated that the companion quests were basically a dialogue option but I was pretty happy with the rest. I told Follows Chalk to go out and see the world in hopes he would go back to the Mojave with me, but it turns out I only indisposed him with his family, wich eneded up in him dissapearing into the wilderness or something?.. I felt pretty bad lol. But thats one of the things we love about FO right? Making tough choices and then living with the consequences. Im gonna run around the Mojave a bit more before I go into OWB, so i dont end up with all the DLC done and the whole game left over. Thanks for answering.

OWB was a little to over to top for my liking. Inbetween 20 minute conversations and going back and fourth to the same places it was a little redundant.

Honest Hearts is more like Point Lookout (i.e. an open map, more nature than city, etc)
Old World Blues also has a open map - although it's more like core FO3 (a fun-house of unrelated areas to explore, lots of crazy stuff to see).
