I would have loved Lonesome road if it was more desolate. Like the thing that was most dangerous was the environment itself. Marked men should have been much fewer and farther in between, but it would have been awesome if every encounter was like a mini-boss fight. The environment would come alive and be more brutal, like winds that could impede you and if you weren't properly protected with specific armor types (power armor or some other sealed types) could kill you. Radiation storms that blanket an area and cause all sorts of problems, like EMP lightning storms that temporarily short out your armor and weapons (if power armor OR energy weapons, etc.), Acid Rain storms that cause Damage over Time, pure rad storms, wind storms that can fling you around and even kill you cause they whip around so quickly. The ability to lose the game by becoming a marked one yourself, utterly insane and numb from the constant agony. I would have liked it if the DLC were larger in environments as well in the sense that, for example, the highway was bigger, with multiple layers to it you could explore, but dangerous with environmental hazards.
The feel could have been better as well if, because of the devastation, only the marked men had any sort of real equipment except for a few hidden underground locations that were somehow protected from the detritus or buried. The Couriers Mile location could have been more horrifying as well. Really force the player to rely on his own survival skills, etc. and his own preparedness. Have interactions with Ulysses be similar, but maybe make it more that he is becoming affected by the divide itself in some way, and with each conversation a bit of his madness seeps through. He's not beyond saving, morally or physically, but your actions here should have major consequences in the game beyond the Nuke ability. Give ED-E in the Mojave that personality of the clone in Lonesome Road afterwards, or if you choose to save him and just redirect nukes, have there some sort of ramifications in the final battle. I dunno. Something though beyond your rep with different factions.
...could've been interesting.
