I think I ruined the DLC for myself.

I don't know about you but I rushed it on the main quest of the DLC.

I found the story well not that great. I guess I was expecting more out of something to happen
Spoiler
Like Joshua and Graham to have an actual fight over what to do and maybe each asks you to kill the other, or sabotage something etc etc
but the quest was pretty straight forward. I also found the White Leggs
Spoiler
should have been at least talkable, I know their explained raid this and that but I felt we should have been able to take their side and help them gain side with the legion in a more direct way such is the nature of the mainquest of New Vegas to side with who you want


Given the fact I haven't tried all ways yet the story felt a little lack luster.

The area we have is definately interesting to explore though and some nice goodies await. But story is the only thing I found they could have expanded on more.

I hope this isn't seen as an outright flame but thats just my opinion. I'll be playing through it again trying different options. but so far it feels pretty shallow in regards to story. I guess I'm to used to the "What A Twist!" kind of story telling but hey.

Everything else the setting, characters, goodies, places of interest I'm enjoying.

The dialogue and voice acting is also excellent but the initial main quest I just find lacking.

There are about a half dozen quests which cannot be completed if you rush through the main quest line. I had to revert to a previous save and restart the DLC in ordere to complete these side quests.

There's 21 quests in all, an unusual number for a DLC, for comparison Pointlook out only had 11 and you get a big warning before making the choice between Daniel and Graham.

So far I like the story and the way the back story is revealed by the cave terminals.

My first character through went in with the intention of taking it slowly and exploring every nook and cranny, but due to his skill-set he wasn't really suited for it so I ended up gunning through the quest line for the achievements. In the process I ended up doing almost all of the quests anyway, although I know I missed a few.

Subsequent characters will be better prepared and will definitely take things slowly, there's a lot to do and find in there.
