As the title states, what's your opinion on this? I'm level 19 and have two active companions (Veronica, ED-E, and Boone in 'storage').
I'm technically independent and am not villified with most... except Powder Gangers. I dispatched Benny to the ether and am in posession of the Platinum Chip. Mr. House? Haven't talked to the 'guy'. Yes man has been met, questioned, and quests given. I've also confered with the NCR Ambassador which also resulted with an assigned quest. I do have saves to turn the clock back if need be.
Perhaps I will stay indie, but might go NCR for this playthrough (my first). Much thanks for your opinion(s)!

yo should do things around vegas before doing the DLC, rep can have an impact on some DLC (lonesome road's dialog has a lot of questioning your faction in it)

The first two dlc seem to make better since before your aligned, the third one doesn't matter either, but its sorta hard (owb). THe last one however should be done right before you enter the second battle for hoover damn, its all about the side you picked
