amccour: Any thoughts on the New Vegas DLC? Only consensus I'm getting is that Old World Blues was good, and Dead Money wasn't.
Dead Money>>>>>>>>every other NV DLC. It has the best story, writing, characters, atmosphere and gameplay out of all the content released for this game, and I think that a survival horror style quest perfectly fits into a post-apocalyptic setting. Honest Hearts has ok writing but very little to explore and most of it is rather unremarkable. Old World Blues is good for exploring I guess, but I find the retarded "humor" in it very annoying, and the gameplay is just too much "power-gaming" for my taste, not to mention that the loot and perks that you acquire will really overpower your character. The Lonesome Road I found very pretentious in it's writing and gameplay wise it's a very linear killing spree. The area itself is not bad though.
I got the itch to give New Vegas another go myself.

I mostly use a laptop these days, and New Vegas doesn't play nice with it. I have to disable all my dedicated sound drivers and any sound programs prior to running the game. If I don't, I automatically crash during the intro. Once in game, it goes okay, until it explodes with no warning.

It has something to do with my dedicated audio card and New Vegas not playing nicey nice. You'd think something like this would be fixed by now.

Doubt it's so much New Vegas as it is long standing issues with the Gamebryo/NetImmerse engine that probably can't be fixed.

Morrowind had this... fun variety of that where, with certain sound drivers and certain audio mods and if certain codecs happened to exist SOMEWHERE on your system, the sound in the game would just turn into this godawful screeching/dialup modem noise at random, and keep doing that till you quit the game.

OWB's humor doesn't interest me that much, and the... attempts at humor are one of the reasons I gave up on Fallout 2 very, very early on.
