Lonesome Road perhaps not so Lonesome?

Post » Wed Jul 13, 2011 8:42 am

This was recently added to the wiki. Apparently the last patch updated the voice credits for NV to include the DLCs, and check out Lonesome Road:

Lonesome Road:

Ulysses - Roger Cross
Dr. Whitely / The Dad / Narrator - Jesse Burch
Dr. Howard / The Kid / Trooper Gleason - Cindy Robinson


Seems like a very small cast of course, but hey, more than I expected.

I'm just hoping the DLC turns out to be mostly you traveling down a dangerous road on your own with very small hints given at the beginning of what kind of obstacles you'll be facing. It needs to be long, it needs to be hard, it needs to make you feel like you're exhausted and asking yourself if it's really all worth it. Y'know, the same kind of feeling you get fighting through waves of zombies in Resident Evil 4, or, though I've never played the game, Shadow of the Colossus seems like a game that captures this mood. I hope these NPCs are mostly seen at the beginning and end and that there's not much involvement in between.

I'm personally hoping it is an extremely long road (longer than the game map, which isn't that hard if most of it is copy/paste road), that would take you a couple days to travel across (including rest). Various environmental hazards and some enemies would be encountered along the way, as well as different characters lost on the road. Also, storm conditions get worse as you travel closer to the Divide. But with those doctors, perhaps they are going to do a rewrite and relocation of Boulder Dome? Otherwise, they might have something to do with why the Divide is the way it is.

While I know it wont happen cause its to hard, and takes to long to do, I wish your companions could come with you.If this is the final showdown, I want my trusty cyber dog, and my best 200 year old mexican friend to come along with me, and compleate my epic journey(cause in my main file, OWB and lonesome road are literally the the last things I need to do,Ive found all locations,and done all most all the quest,and I did most of that with those two).It would be nice to have one last epic journey,one last hoorah with my compadres, befor we say farewell, and part ways(or in other words,I delete the file and start over :biggrin: )

Exactly. It needs to be tough, it needs to be overwhelming and it needs to be isolated.

Personally I only wanna run into maybe two people TOPS along the road, and I dunno if I want them as permanent companions. I just wanna see another face, another person struggling with the hardships here who can shortly sympathize with my plight, and then in the middle of a battle or a storm, I wanna lose sight of them again, not knowing what happens to them.

I agree, it needs to be lonely. I want to be happy when I see human life again, even if that human life is just some raider trying to kill me or an old prospector trying to survive in a makeshift camp. To make it even lonelier, there should be no radio signals (due to the storms). A true test for a level 30-45 character.

I dont want other people. I wanted to be just me and ulysess fighting. Having other people spoils it, instead of an epic clash between the 2 its "the courier and his friends..." [censored] that.

Im hoping lonesome road is dark, depressing and epic.
