   One of the better DLC's for the Fallout games. clocking in around 4 hours of gameplay, this one adds another sci-fi storyline (but better than Mothership Zeta from FO3). I enjoyed the lack of human interaction in this DLC, and the addition of a more mature setting (more cussing and sexual innuendo). The DLC was entertaining, and the weapons were different. After the very dry Honest Hearts, this is more refreshing and enjoyable. Like I said, I finished it in 4 hours or a little less, but there is stuff to go back for, and the area is unlocked to back and forth when finished. Good work.… Expand

   Surprisingly good. While Dead Money was wandering a hateful maze and Honest Hearts was an extended nature walk, Old World Blues brings back the excitement of exploring new and interesting places. The landscape, locations and interiors seem to have a lot more effort put into them than the previous downloadable content. The plot is like a b-grade sci-fi movie, which in this case is a good thing. The enemies are all re-skinned versions of other enemies already in New Vegas, but they are good nonetheless and don't detract from anything. Given the Science theme, players may want to have higher than usual science and energy weapons skills before playing the expansion for optimum enjoyment. As for faults, OWB is lacking in the NPC companion areas for which DM and HH excelled at despite their other problems. Also, sneaking in this expansion doesn't appear to be nearly as effective as the regular game or expansions, with enemies noticing the player from rather surprising distances at times despite 100 sneak and the silent running perk. And while some of the locations are indeed quite detailed, they become less wonderful after you are required to navigate them multiple times in item fetch quests.… Expand

   Lengthy but not necessarily good add on. It starts out promising but turns into a repetitive roam around the wasteland. Some interesting missions keep the monotony from setting in but really only for people who want to level their character up.… Expand

   I'm a bit astonished by the fact that there's so many user reviews and all are positive. After having played, and experienced varying levels of enjoyment with the other DLCs for FO, the showstopping 'money stops paying out when selling to the AI unit' bug hasn't impacted anyone else's play. This DLC, while having some interesting moments, is a prime example of a software house using offshore labor to churn out buggy add-ons.… Expand
