I post this because I just went through the quests for Raul, and I felt really bad for him.

What about you guys?

Well, my latest Honest Hearts outcome was rather sad:

-Follows-Chalk quarrels with his tribe and family, leaves and is never seen again

-Waking-Cloud becomes bitter and works against Daniels interests

-Both Dead Horses and the Sorrows become warlike, and have conflicts between each other

-Joshua becomes crueler than ever

-Daniel is heart broken and is tormented by his failures

-White Legs die scattered and after some time of struggling, I would have preferred that they all would have died in/after the battle

-Which all leads to Zion being something very different than before

-While not actually ending stuff, I found the Survivalists story rather touching

Boones story is pretty sad.

I found the Survivalists story rather touching
The single best part of Honest Hearts. Along with the breathtaking scenery, it made the dlc worth my money. Even if I'm only going to play it once.

Same for me. Raul's backstory is so tragic. I also like the fact that, even having endured such tragedy, Raul doesn't brood on it.

As well as all of the above

-Lilly not taking her full medication so she could just remember her grandchildren
-the OWB slide if you kill Mobius and of your brain if you have good/neutral karma
-the LR slides if ED-E or Ulysses dies
-all the companion slides if they die
-Most of Arcade's slides
-the fate of the NCR rangers/Chief Hanlon

Not all of these are really sad but they are at the very least poignant.

All of the above and the OWB slide for Toaster, if you have good karma.

The Survivalist story from Honest Hearts. Hands down. In truth, it was a small number of words, in just a handful of computer notes. But how the writer managed to use them to so vividly illustrate an entire lifetime of sorrow, loneliness and redemption, is simply beautiful.

Oh gosh...
I thought that most of the Dead Money mini-stories were sad. Most as in, like, all of them. Pretty much because I didn't really have the right skills to help the guys like Dog/God out.
I thought the last radio transmission Christine puts out was really sad too...

I never really got into the Survivalist Story so...not really sure about that.
