It's out on Steam now. Downloading atm.

Yeah, every piece of FNV DLC has been fucked up in my experience. It downloads super quick but it is LYING TO YOU. You have to tell Steam to verify the files, then it downloads the whole thing.

Welp, I just finished it. Kind of boring to be honest. It wasn't an open area like Old World Blues. Reminiscent of console shooters. You run through a linear set path shooting everything that moves. The only skill checks I came across were ones where you open doors with science or lockpicking. I didn't really understand the point Ulysses was trying to make, but I did blaze through it quite fast without letting it soak in entirely.
Verdict: Lots of build up for a bullshit ending. Would not pay 10 euros for this again.

Besides that, it was already mentionend before that this DLC is supposed to be linear.
One question to those who have played it - (if its spoiler burden, dont answer) - who are "The Father/The Kid"? Are they really so obvious "The Road" references?

I've been playing through this, and really been enjoying it. It feels so different from other DLC's. I took my time, paying attention to the dialogue, and for me there was a lot of foreboding. Something you did in the past pissed of Ulysses and now he's having you retrace your steps back to where this incident occurred.
Theres a lot of good loot to be had, including additional versions of the riot armor as seen on the game cover, a sleeping bag that lets you sleep anywhere you want (selected from inventory), and a few goodies for beating the DLC. New perks are included, such as stealth now ignoring having the pipboy light on, karma related perks depending on if your fully good or evil, and others.
You are given a companion for the DLC and I love how much personality they gave him. At one point I detonated a warhead to open a bridge and after the massive explosion he started
and was all "FUCK YEA!!"

Also a bit bummed out by it being linear. Area design also seems kinda familiar. The ruins feel very FNV/FO3 for the most part, even more than OWB.
Ulysses seems neat and I've enjoyed my dialog with him thus far but I'm worried I've missed some diaries even though I've been looking for them. Keeping in mind I don't think I'm very far in (Just got out of the tunnel) this might be my next to least favorite of the DLC, only ahead of Honest Hearts. Still having fun though.

Welp, just finished it. Kind of boring to be honest. It wasn't an open area like Old World Blues. Ulysses was pretty neat and is insane as holy fuck (Him not making sense makes more sense once you realize he's snapped) and a few of the areas were impressive. Could have used a LOT more crawling around on crumbled skyscrapers, that was cool. Hope someone makes a nice adventure of that.
Ending (Depending on what you do) really seems like it should have an impact on the battle for Hoover Dam and the NCR and/or Legion, but really doesn't. Has a dramatic impact outside of the FNV conflict which is cool and all, but the ripples of that should show up in the base game more. I actually
Overall had a good time, but eh. The story didn't seem as good as Dead Money (Possibly in large part to how goddamn obtuse Ulysses is) and the exploration didn't seem as good as Old World Blues.
PS: Died more than just about anything. Those deathclaws were bastards, one shotting my level 45-ish character. If/when I get my Legion character into Lonesome Road I dunno what I'll do.

talked Lanius into backing down during the Hoover Dam fight after playing Lonesome Road and taking the anti-Legion ending. The two of those don't seem like they should be compatible to me.

Guess I'll be bringing the Avenger along and popping their moles while RDX Implant is active...

I never leave Big MT without at least 1,200 5mm AP rounds... And I use them sparingly, namely for popping some Deathclaw moles. Otherwise I usually use either a Fist of some kind or the Ranger Sequoia/10mm SMG.Ed123 said:

I never use melee against Deathclaws, the first encounter I had with them in New Vegas was enough to convince me of that. The only way to even go toe-to-toe against them in melee with confidence is to have some serious Turbo to back you up.
