Dean Domino seems to me like his ghoulification fried his brain in a way that froze him in time, like the bombs were a big flash bulb going off. He still has his cunning, charisma and animalistic reactions to threats, but the rest of his faculties are gone. He is stuck running the same sinister program he was when the bombs dropped. The only thing that mattered to him at the time got seared into his consciousness like a hot brand by the trauma and radiation of the war. Think about how crazy it is to cling to a scheme in which all the other people involved had been deceased for over 200 years. Dude went absolutely mad. The entire civilization was destroyed and all he can give a shit about is some old tomb that might have something shiny inside. What's he gonna do with the money he steals when the world has ended? Just stare at it alone in a dead city? His motivations make no sense. He's a totally broken mental case who doesn't really exist at all, just an old ghost running a corrupt program.

I thought that was the point of his story, and Dead money in general. It's about letting go, all the companions are foils to that idea in addition. Dog/God: letting go of trauma and learning to live as your own person in spite of it. Christine: letting go of her suicidal dedication to the BOS and I believe coming to terms with letting go of Veronica. Dean: letting go of petty vanity and self grandure It's also important that the two former are a lot more likely to be successful at letting go thus letting them survive the DLC. Dean almost never survives because he never truly does let go, even in his survival state, he never leaves the sierra madre. His shallow heart can never explore the depth of letting go.

Graham sought atonement, self reflection, and even divine arbitraments. By contrast, Elijah never got over HELIOS ONE. He sought to permanently reverse his defeat leading to his demented schemes to reclaim power.

Where does Ulysses factor into this I wonder? I've seen a lot online about how people really hate Ulysses, and relish ending him, but how is he really all that different than Joshua? Had the player met him when he was still the legate, many would probably despise Graham. Think it's kind of sad how most people just go straight to liquidating Ulysses, instead of giving him that same chance at redemption, a chance to stop his wandering and change.

Now, in contrast, Joshua. Joshua isn't after you for something that seems silly and happened before you even got into the game. Joshua is built up as a mythical monster and appears before you as a human with human morals, regretful yet determined. His dialogue tears apart some of the veils of propaganda around the Legion and in particular Caesar and reveals a bit of the humans behind that evil. That hits a lot harder than having a mysterious guy rant and ramble at you.

@@scout360pyroz I get your point, and respect it, but what I will mainly say back is that, in all fairness to Ulysses, you seek him out. That's his entire point, you just have to find him, he's pointing out your compulsions as an RPG protagonist. You seek him out, he tells you over and over again that you can go home, he even says that it's not his goal to end you personally, just to let nature run its course and have the mojave/divide sort you out. Everything you do in LR is out of your own desire to find Ulysses, despite him not even holding anything over your head. The nuke you launch at the courier's mile, the confrontation at the end, all your own doing. In many respects this is similar to Joshua's message to you in HH, that if you felt compelled to come here (Daniel himself makes a point to say you weren't invited) then you are going to help out somehow. At least in HH and DM there's a financial motive behind it all, Ulysses correctly points out you come to the divide just because.

Joshua Graham is also interesting as a foil to the player character. Graham had a vendetta against Caesar for the pitch toss, but found religion and God and learned to let go and move on. The player character with the revenge quest against Benny has not learned to let go, and is even forced not to let go via game mechanics requiring you to confront Benny. This also ties back into Dead Money's theme of letting go. What makes Honest Hearts the black sheep of the 4 DLCs, to me, is that it's disconnected from the Ulysses storyline. Elijah, Christine, Ulysses, and the Think Tank are all caught up in that story of the Mojave factions. But Honest Hearts moves away from that and instead gives some backstory on the Legion via Graham and depicts a parallel conflict between the tribals that is unrelated to the Mojave and the player has no reason to be invested in. The Dead Money-Old World Blues-Lonesome Road story literally determines the fate of Nevada and California and arguably post war America by nuking or not nuking a faction, but the Honest Hearts story determines who gets to eat good in Zion for the next howevermany years.

I mostly agree, but I'll mention that you're not necessarily forced to kill Benny, but it's insanely hard not to. You can free him at The Fort, but it turns the entire Legion hostile and fails Render Unto Caesar. It also costs you a stealth boy and a bobby pin, and you get absolutely nothing from doing it. He doesn't go anywhere after you free him, and he simply vanishes after leaving the tent. You're effectively forced to fight the entire legion and kill Caesar to save him, and literally nothing happens if you do it besides a little good karma. Also, Ulysses has dialogue about Joshua Graham if you've already done Honest Hearts, but I can't remember for the life of me what he says. Still, Honest Hearts really isn't all that important in the grand scheme of things, and I wish they made it more important. Joshua Graham was the only interesting part to me, and having done Dead Money first and having the Holorifle makes you so overpowered that the tribals really aren't a particularly dangerous threat and the plot wasn't that interesting. The scenery is genuinely beautiful, though.

@@jackmartin6502 The end of your comment made me think - the scenery is genuinely beautiful. All of the New Vefas DLCs feature an environment that is extreme for the Fallout universe. Dead Money, Old World Blues, and Lonesome Road all feature environments that are extremely bleak and utterly hostile to all human life. Honest Hearts, however, features an environment that is exactly opposite: a place of extreme natural beauty and bounty, with all the water and food anyone could ever dream. Every need provided. Thus is completely lacks the isolation and bleakness of the other DLC worlds. This may be another reason it feels different and lesser. The environment is not oppressive, it doesn't have a great character to it like the Sierra Madre or Big MT or Hopeville. Mostly I remember Honest Hearts' tedious quests and recycled enemies, not the world itself.

The real choice is if Joshua chooses mercy. Daniel believes the Sorrows to be innocent, which directly conflicts with the Survivalist's message to them. Generally correct on HH though As for Ulysses, he's an accelerationist. He believed by skipping to the end, more lives would be saved and the world could progress. A more benevolent reason to wipe the slate clean than Elijah just wanting to kill everyone.

Dude, you severely over praise OWB, and under LR. OWB ruined an interesting story by diving too deep into the goofiness and comedy as well as the whole "find and talk to your brain" thing. It felt like a non canon FO1/FO2 random encounter or NV wild wasteland event that got stretched out to full dlc size, forgetting that the over the top, silly humor is meant to suppliment the harsh wastelands in small doses, not be the main focus. The story of Gabe would have hit so much harder had the entire thing not been laced with jokes about getting back at bullies. Its too bad so much important lore is tied to OWB because an easy way to salvage it would have been to have it all be a hypnosis dream caused by the movie playing at the drive in. LR on the other hand was an amazing culmination to everything that was building up in all the foreshadowing. Even with the courier having left before hopeville nukes activate, the bullet to the head at the beginning of the game gives the player amnesia to most of the surrounding events as well as the player character's past, explaining why so many npc exposit to the player about current events pertaining to the mojave when such information should be common knowledge, especially for someone that has basically walked half the continental U.S. as mailman hell bent on making cardio their sole personality trait. Ulysses' undying resentment of the player is understandable as grief over the loss of something held so dearly to someone, snuffed out by the most unassuming of people, and the only one he could tie the events back to. Ulysses doesnt just hate the ncr either, i think its tied to whatever faction you have the best rep with and i believe he has a lot of negative things to say about the legion if you are legion affiliated.
@moongoalie2410

Understandable, but if you look into the van buren project (which inspired Vegas), there are many elements of both serious and over the top camp. It’s a balancing act, and OWB is merely just a bit of that camp where authors like to introduce in their stories so the reader doesn’t get too depressed from everything being so bleak. OWB is just purposely comedic to prepare the player to experience the last dlc which is the complete opposite. Although, Lonesome Road isn’t very fondly looked at due to its linearity, and the over expository antagonist. Ulysses needed more time to better connect with the player, instead of just outright accusing you of evil acts and beliefs.

@@moongoalie2410 i think thats the problem with OWB, its not balanced to fit in with the rest of the game. To me it literally feels like something i would find in a bethesda fallout game. I do feel though that given how the OWB and LR elements eould have been incorporated into the main van buren game, they would have played off eachother better than OWB does in new vegas.

@@valentinvasquez761I've seen your comments a couple times, even if I don't fully agree I can see where you're coming from and you're definitely not wrong. Love seeing fans of fallout that are critical of its flaws and don't gloss over the burrs in the writing

i would agree that storywise the new vegas DLCs are good but execution is another point Lonesome Road is just a long tube with a ton of high level enemies and a bossfight at the end its like a giant fan made challenge map/mod Honest Hearts is very short and linear but does have a new map that you can explore old world blues is actually really good in both execution and story, because you have a reason to explore the map and get all the AIs for your room and every lab is diffrent and somewhat conected of the technology you saw in the base game and has cool equipment you can find also you argue with your brain and now to the worst offendor Dead money Dead money has several insta death mechanics, which are not rewarding how about a death timer that randomly starts every 5 meters and a lot of hidden speakers and radios positioned in a way that you must run in and find them fast or die instantly because you werent fast enought and reload repeath that a couple of times till you find that radio then go 5 meters to start the process all over again that not rewarding game design thats just awful also you are basicly screwd without a meele build because A you loose all your stuff and dont get a lot of options or ammo and B the enemy AI of the unkillable zombie enemies is bugged they should have a very low detection rate having PER: 0 but the game does the opposie thing they have near infinite detection range you dont have enought ammo to deal with them but in meele you can cripple them easily oh and the poisonous cloud that prevents you from easily traversing and just artifically extends the playtime like the unkillalbe holograms that are not hard to avoid but just cost a lot time of time to avoid i get what they wanted to do but it feels like it was not playtested also it doesnt feel coherent you have the survival horror first part then you get in the casino and everything falls apart quickly you deal with your campanions , get in the vault, get out, done its the most advanced thing ever build with forcefields, holograms and other stuff but the time you get in its just an empty map of a small casino and a very small vault with a few goldbars it feels like the story and the gameplay are out of sync you feel like assembling the crew is the first part of a multi part adventure where at the end you bust in the vault together but in reality you need the crew only to start the opening ceremony then they all are just baggage you must deal with the sierra madre itself is praised as this mythical casino but the time you get in its underwhelming there is literally nothing special there that is noteworthy or makes an impression its just a generic casino without even a cool branding like the casinos on the Strip it feels like an epiloge but it should be the climax i could appreciate the story if the gameplay wasnt so unrefined all of the DLCs (maybe exept of old world blues) want you to tell how big and grand the story is but then you get to it and its very lackluster and short the ideas where good but the didnt have the time and budget to make them really work like they thought and refine the gameplay

So sick of everyone acting like an unfinished game with unnecessary dlc is the most amazing thing in the world.

It's pretty much the peak of the era, and the genre. It was DLC worth what it cost, and that's a far cry away from where things have been the last decade.

If you want to jump on the FNV band wagon for clicks the least you could do is pronounce characters names correctly & get lore correct.
