Always the devil's advocate, eh Gabe?

Didn't read through the thread cause I haven't finished it, I actually just started it, but I agree.
The 30 cap trait I cannot pick until I've found the Auto-Doc thingie, which means I'll likely be forced to reach 45.
The enemies are all damage spounges, I brought mid-tier weapons cause I thought they were gonna be fair enemies and I wanted to give them a fair chance, but here are damage sponges which I chip away health at in pure frustration.
And apart from the greeting dialogue which was (while hilarious during the 2nd half and childish during the first half) by far too long there hasn't been any interaction at all.
It's just enemies everywhere, enemies and neon crap.
And from what I heard the perks weren't that spectacular and they [censored] up the 30 cap trait and Skilled.

So far, I have yet to see any redeeming qualities of this DLC and I've never felt this urge to just turn off a Fallout session and watch X Files as I do now.
I enjoyed Mothership Zeta and Broken Steel 10 times more than I have enjoyed OWB.

Maybe I'll change my opinion about it later, but so far it has been the worst DLC yet.
Even MZ was better.

Thank you. I'm glad I'm not alone on this. And I agree with 100% of everything you said. It's like people are going ape-[censored] over mug-loving robots and toasters with a foul mouth.

I lol'd at thread. So far all the DLCs have kicked ass... I had to play DM again because I didn't understand what was going on. They make you think, I'm sure the story was deep than you thought. S/s look badass. Plot seems funny... What is there not to like?

WTF is this, So you don't even get to meet him? Thanks for the info, bro.

Nope, and no problem.

Glad I could help.

Heres the page, just made it. For the first tape anyway.

I can easily spend 9 hours playing honest hearts. It took me 20 hours alone to find all the caves and terminals of the Survivalist story my first time.

20 hours? what do you do stare at the trees all day? you must be very observant with everything cause there is no way that i could stretch that much time into HH even if i tried.

The securitron factory is a copy paste of the Mechanist factory in FO3. (Not necessarily negative, just something I noticed)

Oh and I also just wasted 400 MFC on securitrons. (Ain't OWB oh so much fun. <_<)

Wow sense I loved Dead Money this DLC must be awesome.

Really, he said better than Dead Money, and I m thinking it doesn t get any better than DM. I doubt it can be, because DM was a very unique deal. If Chris Avellone thought all of DM up and wrote it, then he is good. No matter how much I [censored] about everything else, Avellone proved he is worth his weight in gold with DM.

I was waiting for these threads to start. All we need now is a "RIP OFF!!!!" thead, and a "I beat it in 2 seconds" thread. lol

So says the guy who loved Honest Hearts.

Not sure if serious.

Are people's brains melting? The reaction of the community has been:

*Beavis and Butthead laugh* huh, there's foul-mouthed toaster *Beavis and Butthead laugh*

*Beavis and Butthead laugh* This machine wants mugs huh huh huh huh *Beavis and Butthead laugh*

I swear, only idiots get away with making catchy [censored]. It's like the guy who invented twitter:

"Ugh so basically you just type what you are thinking or doing right now and that's it. Like, " I'm taking a [censored] in the yard ! "

Well, I just turned off the game, how the hell does anyone find that DLC to be fun? All it had was a long ass starting dialogue and a crapload of enemies with a boring and out of place setting.
Gonna go back to it later and try it out again when I'm less bitter, but right now I can't imagine starting it up again.
For a DLC to make me feel this way... Well then it has to be really bad IMO.

What's the problem with dialogue,gabe? That's one of the key features in RPG games.This DLC has so much content its almost an expansion,im loving it,and im playing NV on the lowest settings on a lame ass onboard card,and its still awesome.

Did you actually pay attention to the dialogue? I felt like I was watching an episode of Seinfeld.

You like to insult people right?

Well, dont worry, The Bear will come for you to talk about "friendship"

Did you just report me? wow. So that's how you resolve things, eh? Through censorship? I haven't broken any rules, so good luck with that.

» Thu Jul 21, 2011 3:49 am

I'll admit that the combat does look quite boring from vids I've seen, but as far as the story or anything goes, I can't comment. No one has any vids out on what direction the story goes; just the initial 20 minute intro and that's it.

It was said this was ment to be the more humour's DLC of the lot, anyway

IMO
This gets a 9/10
Best F:NV DLC so far, waiting for Lonesome Road Now :3

lol mothership zeta gets torn to ribbons on the same basis by the community, but OWB gets a pass? I didn't even find it that funny, just juvenile.

You did make a post that could be considered insulting or flaming, and that does break the rules.

If you hate the dlc than give it a bad rating and leave it at that, dont drag it out like some 7 year old who wasent allowed to go to the toy store.

On topic- I loved OWB. I think its one of the best DLCs out of them all. A upgradeble base where you can get skill books, remake your character, change traits, no to mention free caps. Great story and awsome weapons and armor. I love the Sneak suit, since it can be upgraded to be one of the best armors in the game simply due to the bonuses it gives at 1.4 stage. Perfect armor for a sneak/ninja based courier.

And for some wierd reason I cant explain, it felt like it had the atmosphere of the Stiggs the Zombie game.? :huh:

I would wear it, but you see I have a thing against Tron suits.

It's nothing like Fallout 2, where the hell is this overly ridiculousness in Fallout2? Cause I've never seen it.
A lot of people say that Fallout 2 was over the top with teh lulz, but apart from a couple of things in Broken Hills and a couple of special encounters I never found it to be "too" lulzy.
And certainly not to the excessive amount that OWB had.

I didn't mind the long dialogue, it felt a bit too dragged out but I didn't mind it too much, the second half of it was funny, the first half of it felt a bit childish.
But other than that starting dialogue I've only seen blue neon crap, gray areas (I mean it's even more gray than FO3 was) ((The colour, not the moral)), meat shield enemies and horrible fetch quests.
That I a cannot even pick the 30 cap right away which was a big selling point for me is something that is just making me increasingly more frustrated.

So no, I do not see how this is like Fallout 2.

MZ didnt have humor, everything was unfunny, gritty,serious depressing,
