How did you enjoy Honest hearts

8 for me.

Excellent story. Thoughtful moral choices. Fits with FO franchise. Satisfying experience.

Limited replay. Some things too easy to find, some too difficult (Survivor's remains.) Very small active area on a very small map. Many useless map locations (not even useful for fast travel.)

The most serious flaw is being able to return to the area but having no reason to do so.

Glad some people enjoyed it, as I said In my own post before I saw this It just felt lackluster. I like to either play the "blow em all to hell with vastly stupidly powerful guns" or "Silent Sniper" ... I didn't get to do much of either, I also didn't feel the forced companions were much help at all. While the VO's were funny to start, after 3rd time I was seriously tempted to "Silence" them.

Maybe my 3 was a bit harsh but I Just don't feel I got my $10 worth. For me, I LOVE crafting odd things, and collecting interesting guns. The tommy gun was fun for about... 1 clip, after that I preferred either the pistol or my sniper rifle.

I Loved the area though, and If I'd been able to bring even ONE companion of my choice it would of been a blast to explore again and again.

Also as Edouard said there's really no reason to go back to any location twice. The terminals provided either a laugh or an "eew" which I liked but weren't really used much besides three page diaries.

Oh I should also note I was extremely disappointed I couldn't find a single weapon mod anywhere. It wasn't till I left Zion and checked the gunrunners that I was able to find a slide, silencer and extended mag for the .45 auto.

I give it a 7 or 8, main quest was good, enemies were good, very good place for a Survival specialist.

But it was a bit lacking in traders, doctors etc especially after the main quest is over.
