Well they really hit it on the nail this time, I think they can do it again, They messed up DM, HH was great but short, OWB's was awesome well thought out and long. So I think they can do so much better. :fallout:

DM was good but it wasn't for everyone. I liked the over all feel and message of it but the fog definitely can give on a headache.
HH was good but had a horrible ending that tried more to stress a point rather than letting players have their freedom of which the game is basically built on.

Now comes along OWB. My most anticipated DLC and I must say it was great. The characters were creative, the plot interesting but short and missing some elements that were previously revealed like the greater threat which is rather a let down. The Big Empty is a great place to visit and the Sink a great home. The mark of a good game is remember ability. OWB definitively offers several from the Stealth suit to the characters to the plot but who are we kidding the Toaster and Muggy take center stage.

Aren't you the one who complained about the scavenger hunt for sink upgrades before someone told you there's a quest that leads to all of them, Gabe? :P

Like I said in that thread, I only saw a bunch of fetch quests, let out a big sigh, turned down the pipboy and started wandering towards the quest objective.
I still don't like that I have to hunt for every single [censored] voice module even if there is a quest marker leading me there.
It's just a way to prolong the DLC which doesn't really add anything.
It's padding, filler, it's complete [censored] design to make the DLC seem longer and bigger than it actually is.

Can't wait to get this DLC over with...

I don't hate it, whatever is the closest word to hate but not actually the word hate is what I have for OWB.

Yeah I know, relax, it's not the end of the world if you have to explore and spend some time to collect some items. :glare:

Frankly after Honest Hearts' reception I'm utterly amazed at how people are praising Old World Blues for being a lot more of the same thing. I don't really mind fetch quests if they're done well (which they were in both Honest Hearts and Old World Blues, in my opinion), but wasn't one of the most common complaints about Honest Hearts that it was all fetch quests? That's exactly what Old World Blues is, except instead of being filled with Bible quotations it's filled with [censored] jokes. Oh wait... I see.

Perhaps I’m a little lower maintenance than many, but for me the mark of a good DLC is how much entertainment I get out of it. I’m only 3 hours or so into it so far, and I must say I’m loving every minute of it. It’s been funny, campy, challenging, creepy and interesting all at the same time. I don’t see what’s not to like, really, unless you just don’t have a sense of humor or imagination. It’s (finally) got a sweet player home with lot’s of features, some interesting places to explore and lots of tough enemies. At least for me it does.

As I was playing it last night, it hit me that more than anything else I’ve experienced in Fallout 3 and New Vegas, this DLC has captured that retro-science fiction feel that these games are many times described as. I really felt like I was inside of an old 50’s low budget sci-fi flick. So far, Obsidian has knocked it out of the park for me!

I hate it for those who feel slighted because they expected some cool power armor or energy weapon perks, but that disappointment shouldn’t be allowed to spoil what is nonetheless a great add-on. I try not to go into these things expecting specific things, but hoping it will be fun. So far, this one’s a blast!

Anyway, gonna try to calm down about OWB, but let me explain why I'm so spiteful of it.
You know when a minor annoying thing happens? And the another one happens? And then it keeps piling up more and more and more until you finally snap?
That was OWB for me, tiny annoyances with moderate annoyances constantly, always outweighing the good parts of the DLC.
Maybe when I've calmed down in a couple of days or weeks or months I might be able to see what makes OWB good, but currently I can't shake the things I hate about it off.
So yeah, that's why I'm getting so ridiculously aggressive about even the slightest thing in OWB.

I never got the complaint against fetch quest essentially every quest boils down to go here and do this more complex quests merely consist of many smaller fetch quests if you break down the steps its the way their handled that makes them work you should be focused on the well written story and good gameplay not soley upon completing your objective.

I enjoyed DM loved HH's story and how in all of the endings things didn't turn out as I'd hoped, haven't beat OWB yet but its my favorite so far very well written story crazy characters, a very distinct location, it seemed kinda far out with all the dark humor and scifi tropes but it really works for me.

Yes; in the next DLC Muggy leaves Big MT, transfers to Combat Muggy and Assist the Courier to fight Ulysses.

Better start getting more mugs to bring back, your going to want Muggy on your side.

on another note, i really feel bad for the people who spend a good chunk of their time on these forums debating and speculating and arguing the points of upcoming DLC, only for them to nonchalantly shrug it off once it's here. what is the POINT? usually it's the same people who said they knew it was gonna svck anyway, so why bother?
