I agree with Aishan! Without a doubt, the best add-on yet for F:NV. So much crazy dialogue!

Is that a Q35 Matter Modulator I see? No, upon further inspection I see it is in fact not.

There is what seems like an incredible amount of talking in this DLC. Even the bloody clothes talk to you. If I get a gun that talks to me, I might just give up and walk away.

I like dialogue, but wow the opening and the tank intro and everything. It's a lot.

Hearing good things about this DLC, but goddamn they need to show, not tell. Locked into a dialogue window for 10 minutes is a long time to take control away from the character.

Still, Rusty Venture is gettin' work.

What's the over/under of New Vegas getting a "GOTY" type of release with all the DLC?

hmm,  I probably wasn't paying enough attention, but did that intro movie say everything got nuked in 2077?  I had always though the war happened in the 1950's.

The Great War was always in 2077. In Fallout world, America just never moved on culturally from the 1950s.

10 minutes is nothing, they skipped a whole load. On my playthrough it took the best part of an hour to actually shoot anything.

They missed what's perhaps the biggest homage on this whole thing... the robot is called Dr. MOBIUS! ^^
Also, this QL really shows how useless the VATS system is for the most part; you'll usually tear through an enemy a lot quicker if you don't use it.

After a certain level, VATS just makes it take more time to kill people, which in Fallout is never a good thing. Cause that game's pretty long already.

I finished the DLC yesterday. I was quite good, although Dead Money is still my favorite DLC for New Vegas.

Chill fellas.
It all depends on the type of weapons you are using and personal preference.
Some combinations are more effective in VATS some without it.

I know it's probably pretty stressing wanting to get footage for a quicklook, but completely missing the giant thing in the middle of the medical facility which had every light source in the room pointing towards it?? Come on!

To be fair, there's not much there. It's just an Auto-Doc buried in rubble. Albeit one with an item hidden in the shadows next to it.

I really love this DLC. Still not finished with it yet, since there's a ton of stuff to do, but I might just skip over what side stuff I have left and come back to it after the main quest is finished. This dramatically raised my expectations for what to expect from Lonesome Road, too. It damn well better be as epic as they're building it up to be.

That depends on your build. A DPS-centered build doesn't need VATS at all. Critical builds (ex: Energy Weapons) rely on it.

On topic: This DLC is amazing, but I'm tied up in Catherine right now, so I'll finish it later. But definitely a must-buy!

Great DLC. The lengthy intro doesn't make for the greatest QL, how ever. If you're a fan of Fallout: NV pick this up, you won't be disappointed.

I actually just picked up New Vegas yesterday and I'm pretty pleased with it so far. 
 
From what I'm reading, this looks to be the best DLC for New Vegas yet. So as much as I love Quick Looks, I think I'll hold off on watching this as Obsidian's strongest suit is it's storytelling.

What are you talking about? They referenced Werner Heisenberg. A German theoretical physicist, famous for the Uncertainty Principle and a contributing theorist to Quantum Physics.
