dead money is so atmospheric and challenging and plus the reward for beating it is a lot of caps plus the coolest gun in the game imo

I love honest hearts because of the survivalist. One of the best if not the best written stories in the series

Biggest gripe with mothership Zeta is that it locks you out of area's you previously visited, so if you missed out on some unique weapons, you're screwed. That and the aliens can be bullet sponges.

Two things about Nuka World: I wish you could use the raiders to get into the institute Also I wish there was a quest chain with Preston about getting the minutemen to wipe out the raiders and take nuka world for the commonwealth

I always took Dead Money as an excellent practice mode for Hardcore Mode. Every piece of food, drink, ammo, and medicine is precious as you'll be paying extra attention to your health and choosing whether or not to fight enemies or sneak past.

Love love love Dead Money. The characters are amazing and nuanced, the setting is disturbing and suffocating (literally), and the questline is incredibly interesting with an amazing theme. Can definitely understand how people could not like it but I look forward to this DLC every time I do a playthrough. Without a doubt, my favourite DLC.

Lonesome road is actually my favorite fallout DLC, it gives some good new weapons, armors and enemies(shoulder mounted machine gun, elite riot gear, marked men, tunnelers etc). But what really makes Lonesome road my favorite is the atmosphere of the Divide and the story and overall message of the DLC. I love Ulysses and his cryptic way of speaking. And also who doesn’t like having Ed-e as a companion.

Dead money is such an unusual DLC. Some people rightfully hate it for breaking the normal game formula, but then there's the fans which are absolute hardcore. I would even go as far as to say that dead money has gained a small cult following of its own.

Old World Blues is such a great DLC... I love how incredibly bonkers all the dialogues are.^^

Ron you should try the Tale of Two Wastelands mod, it lets you seamlessly play fallout 3 and New Vegas in one playthrough and I'd argue it's one of the best mods ever made

Dead money was surprisingly easy the first time I played it, because my playstyle and build trivialized the ghost people. High energy weapons, sneak, and perception meant I could one-shot them with the holorifle before they even noticed me

Honest Hearts and Dead Money will always be some of my favorite. The varying atmospheres that are very unique to the Fallout universe makes me very happy. My only thing is I always wished I was able to go back after completion of Dead Money. For Fallout 3 Point Lookout is my top, and the Pitt as a 2nd, Mothership Zeta is my 3rd, and Anchorage would be my least favorite although it is still an awsome DLC. For New Vegas Lonesome Road is definitely tied for my Dead Money first place, Old World Blues is my least favorite but is still amazing

There are two Dead Money Bugs that stand out to me: 1.)The Ghost People's perception is actually 0 believe it or not. However due to how the engine is coded, it registers it as infinite perception. This was most likely intentional so as to make them more of a threat. 2.) There is a way of getting all 37 gold bars. Walk up to the force field on the right before Elijah enters, when he lowers the field and walks forward, it knocks and teleports you behind him and you can just walk to the elevator. Now I did this back in the on the Xbox 360 back when Dead Money first released I don't know if its been patched, but I thought I'd bring it up.

Dead money can be down right unfair your first couple of times. I had a character that was a guns character but had no science to get the police pistol and had to rely on other stats that were under levelled. Once you play it and know where to find deans staches you should have too much of a problem. Also get light touch

"No mater what you choose in the pit you are going to be the badguy" I raise you a double down on the bad guy meter....eat the baby

OWB is by a country mile my favorite DLC for any Fallout (or Elder Scrolls, for that matter) game. The various labs are (mostly) cool and interesting to explore, I love the characterization throughout, especially DR. MOBIUS! and the way his mask slips once in a blue moon and you see the confused, well-meaning crackpot behind the performance, (and Muggy) and it incorporates hints at the other DLC better than most, with all the nods to Elijah, Ulysses, and Christine. Also, not a bonus to the DLC itself, but I love the Transportalponder in TTW, where people have extended it so it can be used to travel between the Sink, Mojave, and Capitol Wasteland.

I have just finished my NV DLCs playthrough (all of them for the first time except for Lonesome Road), and Lonesome Road is my all-time favourite, the location is breathtaking, Ulysses is one of the best characters ever written in the history of games, it's challenging and the marked men are so cool lore-wise, I kinda want to replay this masterpiece even though less than a week has passed since I finished it OWB is really great, but it's like a sitcom gag, too much reliance on humour for me, and it's kinda sad that the game makes you run around 30 times to grab stuff from places where you have already been numerous times, other than that it's fantastic Dead Money's characters make it great, though I didn't like the gameplay part too much - it was cool, but for the most part it felt unnecessarily punishing, especially the moment when you open the casino gates and there is a whole army of ghosts, if the game could let you take med-x+slasher and use power armor, it would be ok, but I had to replay it like 40 times until I actually managed to run past the ghosts into the door (maybe the problem is, I run a modpack where something makes enemies take like 70% of your hp with every hit on very hard, and hardcore wouldn't let me heal instantly) Honest Hearts felt a bit too short and I couldn't care about the main story enough to actually enjoy it, but again characters pull it off and the side story with the terminals in cave is just sheer brilliance, so to me LR and OWB would go to S tier, DM and HH would go to A tier

21:40 just while we're on Far Harbor, can I just put in how amazing the score is. (professional musician here).

I also like the no equipment in DLC. It's annoying when it's a surprise but if you know to store your crap you'll get all the cool new stuff

Personally, I think Dead Money is the best DLC (by a pretty good margin) on this list for a first playthrough because the storyline, characters, and novelty of having to scavenge gear are all really, really good. On repeat playthroughs, however, it can be pretty tedious compared to the others, and the rewards are only really worth it if you're running and Energy Weapons build and want the Holorifle.

I love how The new vegas dlcs are all on a spectrum of seriousness to wackyness dead money being the most serious and OWB being the most wacky and lonesome road and honest hearts falling In between.

Bear, bull, bear, bull, bear, bull, the bear, the bull. Is my favorite NV dlc

Gotta say, I'm sad to see lonesome road so low. Always been my all time favorite

Fallout radio stations tier list when

Dead Money belongs in S in my opinion. It's a more linear experience than OWB, but the story is second to none. It has all the emotional impact of The Survivalist's story fron Honest Hearts, except fully voice-acted. And I never felt more clever in a video game than I did figuring out how to take all the gold bars while trapping Elijah in the vault.

To me Dead money is not a love it or hate it dlc, it's a love it and hate it at the same time dlc. Nuka world was just terrible for me, Bethesda completely misunderstood the players who said they wanted the option to be bad, and made a dlc where being bad was the only real option.

Nuka Cola on the same page with dead money and honest hearts? Sir, you are clearly seeing things differently

I love these videos. Nothing better than a ReapeeRon fallout tierlist

Dean Domino is such a good character, like despite being an absolute monster, its so hard for me to pull the trigger on him, he's super charismatic.

_I've always said this; _*_Dead Money_*_ could've had a Stand Alone Release._

I guarantee we will not agree on all of these. let's see!

The only one of the Fallout 3 DLCs I really enjoy is Point Lookout. Despite the brutal unfairness of the swampfolk, I really enjoy the area and story. I never like playing through Dead Money and it's mostly due to the first half of it. The exterior of is too much of a maze, too many enemies keep spawning and, of course, the damned cloud is all over the place. Once I actually get into the hotel proper, I love the rest of the DLC. Old World Blues is New Vegas embracing the 50's B-movies that are a major component of Fallout's DNA and the cherry on the sundae is completing it gets you the best player home in the game. Honest Hearts just bores me to be honest. Zion is pretty and Joshua Graham is an interesting character, but to me the rest of it is just 'meh'. I don't like Lonesome Road for one reason. Ulysses. That hypocritical egotistical jackass just pisses me off with the sheer amount of bullshit he spews. I still complete it every time so I can get the upgrades for Ed-E and so I can shoot Ulysses in the face. Courier's Stash and Gun Runner's Arsenal are just gear packs which is nice, but it's just gear. I've never played any of the Fallout 4 DLCs.

I’ve been in such a game slump recently so I’ve been going through phases like crazy. Started playing fallout again abt 3 weeks ago and deep rock for the first time about a week ago. Then I stumbled onto your channel, my mind was blown. Keep making content m8

OWB and the Shivering Isles in Oblivion are two of my favourite Dlcs in any game ever, they still hold up very well.

Old World Blues while amusing early on, has very juvenile humor that wears thin quickly on multiple playthroughs, and the quests get repetitive and boring. The only reason I do it anymore is for the gear. Lonesome Road is loads of fun, especially the expanded lore for EDE.

- Operation is a bad DLC. It doesnt fail at anything but sets you up as overpowered for no reason and can be done at the start of the game without weird shenanigans or roadblocks, like the DLC is scaled at that low level but still gives endgame gear that lasts for ever. No replayability, no story or characters basically, cool gameplay and theme. It's a C. - Broken Steel is a good endgame DLCs. Adds stronger enemies, higher cap, stronger weapons, and it does a good job at showing that even if you won the purifier battle, the wastland keeps moving and the war with the enclave hasnt ended. - Point Lookout i would say is S because i value the things it did best a lot. Best job at theme and worldbuilding (locations, side quests, NPCs, exploration...) in a fallout DLC, plus the ocultist lovecraftian horror theme was greatly executed. The main story i thought was nice, had some really cool mission. And I didnt mind the characters, thought they were nice. - Zeta is worst Operation, the first part is interesting because you are breaking out, learning about your situation and it hasnt felt repetitive yet. It feels bad to play, it's awesome that you are in a spaceship and that only matter twice and you are too bored of the same rooms, corridors, enemies and quest to enjoy the walk outside or the button mash that is the ship fight. If there's a D tier (story) dlc in fallout it's this one. - I put Dead Money S tier because again, i like the theme of the DLC. Robbing a super advanced prewar Casino with an elite super interesting team and a good villain that has been foreshadowed by people in the game (at the time of me playing it i had played NV for a while, knew of Elijah and was cool seeing him there), cool story and backstory to the casino... - Lonesome Road is another excelent endgame but it doesnt change the game, it adds and endgame area and that's good too. You get nice loot during the DLC, and after you complete it you bomb people at the end for nice faction loot, like a sidequest at the end and that's also neat. - Gun Runners i think is good enough of a weapon mod to award being A tier. Adds a lot of cool weapons, some with different effects and ultimately more variety to combat at no cost or story, just more items on vendors. - For Nuka World, I actually hated the start of Sierra's sidequest (the ending was awesome after getting the passcode, cool to see Sierra back and making sense with how much of a fanatic of Nukacola she is). To side with the slaves is not a real choice, since people wont try to because they are pushed towards the raider side, unless they "investigate" it and see the quest pop up. It's a choice but never hinted at and that's a good way to do it in my opinion. Worst part about the DLC btw: it was 100% made with fast travel in mind, play it in survival and every quest taking you back to the commonwealth takes like 4 trips of the train. Any of those quests takes 30mins for no reason instead of 5mins with fast travel. The building DLCs in fallout 4 are the only reason i wouldnt put Zeta as D tier. They are worst than Zeta. And Zeta is in between D and C.

Fonv is like playing fo3 on steroids. Both are great in their own right but fonv is so much better. The storyline and options are so much more vast than fo3. Love the content!

Great read on the DLC. Personally I have a hard time scoring The Pitt over Sierra Madre, but your opinions are whats interesting here.

Vault tec dlc deserves a higher ranking. It has decent quests

Man i REALLY want a Fallout game totally centered around the pitt and the rest of Pennsylvania, hands down the most interesting location I've ever seen in a Fallout game. Fallout 76 just reaffirmed my wish when the expeditions came out.

Dead money would be better if you didnt have to worry about the bomb, it gets in the way of taking in the atmosphere.

I like having the settlement DLCs in my game. I like having couriers stash and gun runners arsenal in my game. But none of them are worth paying actual money for. They all should of been free updates. I'd put them all into D tier. Couriers stash and GRA are better admittedly than the settlement ones because they were much cheaper. The New Vegas ones launched being around £1 and the F4 ones being around £4. But either way I wouldn't buy any of these separately

Great list man!

I feel the same way about OWB as most people fo about Dead Money. It's just too difficult to be fun, and I find it tedious. If it weren't for all the cool loot, I wouldn't even bother.

You can never tell me dead money is fun to play

When i played Honest Hearts for the first time a few months ago, i was very surprised to see rain in Zion.

The themes of Dead Money fit New Vegas so well. Offered something different and challenging but absolutely fair. Wish more people would take the time properly utilize the crafting mechanics and perks.

Dead Money is a beautiful, tragic story about love, obsession and betrayal, featuring some of the best written characters in all of fallout. A good chunk of the story is told through terminals and visual storytelling, and if you want further understanding of the circumstances leading to the current state of the sierra madre and its surroundings you have to play Old World Blues. One might argue that this is asking too much of the player, but this approach allows the player to get more immersed in the story, and seeing all these accounts from random workers makes this world feel more alive. not to mention the gameplay is excellent, and the pure sense of death and depression is noticeable in every aspect of the DLC. I fell in love with Dead Money years ago and I still can't let go.

love your channel, great stuff!

dead money is s tier for me. i love elijah. smart man. a little crazy. only he could see how op the sierra madre vending machines were.

Best to Worst Old World Blues: Fallout at its best and every single character is pitch perfect Lonesome Road: Loved the development for the Courier's backstory but never really cared for Ulysses as a antagonist. Point Lookout: Unique setting and a solid story. Far Habour: Ditto. Dead Money: Like the idea of the DLC but somewhat flawed execution (especially with casino abuse and dropping all the gold bars behind the barrier) and way too easy to get lost. Honest Hearts: The setting and its use of colour is a breath of fresh air (literally) but the main story is kind of boring The Pitt: A decent DLC but needed more story and quest content to be great. Gun Runners Arsenal: Yeah its basically a weapons mod you pay for but its solid and contains some of the most fun weapons to use along with the nice challenges. Automatron: Completely forgettable, the robot companions are neat but not really amazing, wish they had done more with Jezebel. Mothership Zeta: Buggy and basically a corridor shooter. Had potential but not fully realized. Nuka World: A pretty cool themed dlc, shame you have to play an evil/amoral character to get the full experience. Broken Steel: A dlc that basically addressed a lot of the problems I had with Fallout 3, and should have been part of the story in the first place.... Courier's Stash: Pre order bs that now with all the dlc in the game makes the start way too easy. Picking which one you want ala alternate start mod feels like the best solution to me. Operation Anchorage: It basically serves the role as GRA for fallout 3 but tack on a throwaway story, horrible linear cover shooter FPS and just giving the player the most broken "I win every fight" gear in fallout history. It makes Turbo Plasma/Power Armour in Fallout 1 look absolutely balanced by comparison. Vault-Tec and the other ones: The world best argument for playing Fallout Shelter.

It's hard to think that 76 has been out for almost 5 years. I remember being sooooooo excited for it, and I genuinely enjoyed it for like 10 months and never touched it again

While some may find dead money good as it is challenging by taking away gear, I personally cheese it by doing the veronica multiple companion glitch and store my stuff (ammo, aid & guns) in the companions inventory and take them inside the dlc. If you're curious how to do this, just type in fallout new vegas companion glitch. I also have a video on how to take them into dead money. All that aside another great vid! 👍

Mothership Zeta is a great way to start the game. If you rush to the site at early levels you can get one of the best energy weapons ( Alien Disintegrator) at the start of the game. That combined with the ability to be a samurai and the little side stories of all the characters and earth lore like the Giddy-up Buttercup make it one of my favorites.

The Pitt, Honest Hearts and Far Harbor are my favorites of their games but The Pitt is my favorite of all

Dead Money was the best on my first and second playthroughs, but after that I get so tired of it that I usually just no clip through a lot of the BS. It's still one of my favorites just for that amazing experience of the first time going in. The characters are some of my favorites, and the ghost people are honestly pretty terrifying if you face them at low levels.

try to rank fallout nv achievements based on enjoyment, awesome stuff btw :)

I pretty much agree with all that. You hit Nuka world on the head. That’s exactly how I feel about it. I love all the New Vegas Dlcs. Joshua is my favorite character as well. Daniel was written well, but he kind of pisses me off a little bit tho. No matter how you end that dlc he’s never completely happy and he’s just to caught up in his own failures to really be a spiritual leader to these people. At least imo.

IMO, the Pitt DLC is better that base F3 game with all other DLCs. I can can it is nearly New Vegas level with their grey moral choices. Also it feels like another game because they tried to explain how Pitt's society works, how did they manage to survive and why things work that way, and that really differences from the game where you can wind little lamplight

Old World Blues was Wild Wasteland: The DLC. But as someone who loved the crazy nonsense from Fallout 2, that's a huge plus for me. Also: don't forget to wash the Walking Eye.

0:14 hey! me too! this just get's better and better!

"Y'all can stay enslaved because I'm not killing a baby. Sorry."

Automatron was my favorite, I was very excited to be able to build My very own robot companions. Also, in fallout 4 there's a perk you get where you can sit up provisioners for your settlements. You can build your own provisioners that way and basically make an army of death robots rolling around the Commonwealth. So this is why I think a lot of people didn't really like that DLC very much because I don't think they really put to good use of what it was designed for. With the death robot army provisioners rolling around you are basically fallout 4 as Mr House at that point lol😂

Old World Blues is the greatest! What a ride

I really liked Old World Blues it was just so wacky and it was a melting pot of various other dlc elements like Elijah was there at the same time as Ulysses

waiting for the ReapeeRon unarmed new vegas tier list

My favorites were aiding the outcast, the space ship one in fallout3 and the thinktank one in vegas

I want to sit down and play through Far Harbour and Nuka-World because a few of my friends always talk about how good it is. But o just cant play Fallout 4 man. Its so hard to get invested in any form of dialougue in that game. I have about 120 hours in there, which is really low for how long its been out, but i just wander around and collect things because the story and dialouge just sucks

10:13 yes, it is a bit sad. We all want to pop to the vault afterwards for a little chat and a lot of a gloat with the old guy inside. (if you didn't kill him, that is)

I do miss when dlcs were free and full of content to now being $10 to $30 with only a hour of gameplay and retextured armor and weapons 😔

A lot depends on what your gaming background was before coming to the Bethesda era Fallout games. A lot of the newer fans came from first person shooters so Operation Anchorage and Lonesome Road, where you have a clear linear progression and you're provided with a character to play rather than create, are going to be more entertaining. For rpg fans Honest Hearts and Old World Blues are going to be more popular because they provide you with objectives but then turn you loose in a wide open area with multiple methods to achieve the objectives so that the character you create doesn't have to be a combat optimized death machine. It's not a case of one style of gameplay being better than the other it's a matter of taste. Except for Gage. If you think Gage is more interesting than Nick you are just wrong;).

dead money is hands down my absolute favorite DLC. Love the story and the theme. Also love the difficulty spike it offered (this might not speak well about me)

Agree 100% with your fallout 3 rankings. The Pitt and Point Lookout add memorable locations and characters. The other 3 are fun and have good loot but are too linear.

Lonesome road is actually my favorite fallout dlc by a mile, it’s interesting to see other people don’t like it that much. The atmosphere is done so well and Ulysses is the greatest fallout character. My only big complaint is the stupid warheads you have to detonate around the map.

Honestly, Far Harbor is my all time favourite, like everything's perfect imo. I may be a bit biased since 4 was my first

If you do Lonesome Road and grab Rawrs Talon but hold onto it until you get into Dead Money then make it there that DLC becomes much easier

Nice to see Far Harbor getting some appreciation, Fallout 4 is my least favourite 3d Fallout game but bethesda knocked it out of the park with that DLC. I actually think it's the best expansion pack of all the 3d fallout games.

You should do a characters tier list!!!

I agree for the most part except I loved lonesome road probably my favorite dlc throughout all the games, owb would be on the high end of a tier not quite s tier, and the pitt would be more a tier, could almost put dead money on high b tier, it was a good dlc but it was stupidly hard for me, worse than lonesome road, it just kind of lacked the fun element, but told a good story

lonesome road is goated, it gives you a challenge that you can pop in and out of at any time, blowing up the legion and ncr camps for unique armor and lots of items, and the couriers mile is arguably the most difficult area in nv, lonesome road, me and my buddy on his xbox 360 did lonesome road inone go and it was hard (xbox360) but really fun at the end when he blew but both camps hahaha, IMO best DLC of any fallout and its not even close (except for old world blues)

I breeze through Honest Heart, i cant say the same with the other 3. I can put both Old world and Lonesome on S while placing Dead Money in A while Honest can go elsewhere like i give a damn.

Nuka World for me would be a whole tier on it's own below everything else tbh

A problem with fnv is that once you get to the mid game or even get some good early weapons like rat slayer the game difficulty falls off a cliff. Dead money resets you back to the difficult early game in a way and that’s why it was my favorite

Dead money is a weird one. For the story and location it’s absolutely awesome. For gameplay it’s just bad. Bethesda open world games are all about different ways to play and doing the same thing. Dead money really limits your options for build. First time I did it I was doing a ballistic rifle vats build and it felt awful trying to use weapons I didn’t build for in a difficult location. I ended up switching my build towards stealth and used stealth melee in dead money. At this point I don’t think I’d do dead money unless I was already doing a melee build.

Considering the Fallout NV mod for Fallout 4 is still ongoing, I wonder how they will tackle doing the NV dlcs.

I think courier's stash breaks both the story AND the role-play aspect of the game. The courier shouldn't start with a full set of weapons and armor right at the start. Maybe this is just me but it bothered me so much that I downloaded a mod that scattered the items through the mojave wasteland

i can understand that some ppl like dead money although elijah's motivations don't make much sense at times. but putting it above lonesome road? like bruh

Lonesome Road definitly deserves to be in S tier. The entire subplot of your backstory and Ulysses is just masterpiece. Mostly Fallout New Vegas dlc deserves to be in S, or A tiers. For Fallout 3 dlc Mothership Zeta was the best in my opinion, but I can see why some people would put it lower. In case of Fallout 4 Far Harbor is the best dlc.

Loved the survival horror feel of dead money I wanted more

I just use the DLC games that I don’t like to prepare for the ones I do like. I like lonesome road but I play it like a psychopath. I go in at level 4 with easy Pete’s dynamite/ an arc welder so I can destroy all the sentry bots, then I blaze through the entire DLC by rushing lockpick so I can get some riot armor for free.

My Favourite Fallout 4 DLC is Automatron. Ada is my favourite companion and i love being able to make my own robots

My friend: Hey so, another KZfaqr made a Fallout DLC tier list. He put Old World Blues in S tier. Me: Not surprising. My friend: And he also put a single FO3 and FO4 DLC in that tier too. The Pitt and Far Harbor. Me: Now that IS surprising. My friend: Whoaw, just wait till I tell you where he put the New Vegas weapon and item add-ons

Lonesome Road should been A tier easily but oh well other people believe that dead money should been C tier too, it's a preference.

I looooathe Old World blues from its Rick and Morty style humor, to the world breaking story where it renders the fight over Hoover Dam irrelevant. Why care about this tiny 20th century facility, when there's this place with technology far above it? Also it just throws a bunch of "bosses" at you which are just scaled up versions of enemies which is pretty lame. But as a fun note, my charasmatic survivalist cowboy plowed through this. Animal friend renders Night stalkers neutral, and plenty of 357 and 44 ammo for my trail carbine and cowboy repeater.

Gun runners arsenal has a mod that makes the assault rifle white and so it's s tier

Dead Money is my favorite. It's a great experience, but it also hard filters the worse players who only ever use guns and ignore everything else about the game's combat. Even a high level guns build with zero melee/unarmed investment would have a far easier time if the player just bothered to try out the clean cosmic knife spear or bear trap fist.

Old world blues has that one quest that brings it down in my opinion That X-8 quest is just a chore to get through especially if you want to 100% complete the mission in that dlc

I think many people dont like dead money just because of the difficulty

Very bold to put Lonesome Road that low

Swap Honest Hearts with Lonesome Road, and move Dead Money to S tier and that would be my ranking
