    I thought this quest expansion for Fallout: New Vegas was actually pretty good. Sure, it's kind of difficult to complete, but still a pretty good add-on. I anticipated a more bizarre story, but overall, this was not that bad. I agree with some of the other reviewers when they say Dead Money was intense. Dead Money is my favorite DLC add-on for New Vegas. Why? It's the coolest and creepiest expansion!… Expand

    Fallout New Vegas DLC's in general have been up and down, with a pretty bleak, but commendable, start with Dead Money, a huge dip with Honest Hearts, and prior to Lonesome Road, a less-than-stellar try to reintroduce science with Old World Blues. Lonesome Road, in my opinion, (aside from the hellish delay) was a huge success both for New Vegas and Bethesda. It brought the Courier's back-story to a satisfying and full ending. This DLC revolved around the mysterious character of Ulysses, who's been referenced in all the other DLC's, as well as the game itself. Now, with this expansion, all loose ends are tied up, all unanswered questions are answered and more importantly, an otherwise incomplete game became complete.

    Friendly advice to get the full experience: Play the DLC's in order. So, play this one last. Do this before you visit the New Vegas strip. That way, you'd have explored an extensive amount of the Mojave Wasteland and leveled up you character enough, so that it can tolerate the difficulty of the DLC. And most importantly, take you time. There is a large temptation to just rush through this DLC, and not complete the challenges along the way. So, draw it out a little, don't do it all in one day and make sure you truly get the most out of what it has to offer.    … Expand

    Everything I loved about this DLC. The Divide, it's ruins, and the storm is very awe-inspiring and Fallout-like. The weapons are some of the best out of all the DLC. The story is atmospheric and suspenseful, with a few twists also and an ending epic as ever, whether you side with Ulysses or not. Explains a lot.

    On the whole this was an excellent, atmospheric DLC with plenty of new equipment, new foes, and a conclusion to the story of Ulysses that was hinted at throughout all of the DLCs. The DLC's only true downfall is its unnaturally high linearity (for a Fallout game). However, the level design was so well done I personally wasn't bothered by the change of pace.

    And that's about all you get, aside from a few new toys, some forgettable items, and another unnecessary boost to the level cap. [Holiday 2011, p.75]

    A brilliant ending for the story of New Vegas. Straightforward, but still very engaging RPG experience. [November 2011, p.100]

    Do not waste your money on this trainwreck. If you really want to know how it ends, go to the Fallout Wikia and read the article on Ulysses.
