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

   Lonesome Road gives the game difficulty it needs compared to the Mojave. If you were able to stand the train stations in Fallout 3, theLonesome Road gives the game difficulty it needs compared to the Mojave. If you were able to stand the train stations in Fallout 3, the environments here won't be a problem. The storyline is deeper than Old World Blues, a more personal story than Dead Money, and the area itself is put together better than Honest Hearts. The atmosphere is a weak point, but it's meant to be bleak because of the subject nature. ED-E here is probably the companion with the overall best characterization, due to Ulysses ending up as a non-companion character. Red Glare managed to beat out the Missile Launcher as a weapon, and the Shoulder-Mounted Machine Gun covers the Minigun's weak points while still keeping some of the strengths, like a decent magazine size and a relatively-decent fire rate that still puts down bullets without draining ammo like a bullet hose Minigun does.… Expand

   Lonesome Road is the second best expansion to Fallout New Vegas (second only to Old World Blues). Writing might not be as witty as the one inLonesome Road is the second best expansion to Fallout New Vegas (second only to Old World Blues). Writing might not be as witty as the one in the base game or OWB, but it has it's moments. Story of ED-E is truly touching, two Couriers dispute over ethical and geopolitical implications of ongoing conflict between NCR and the legion brings new light to the events we all know from the Mojave and all of this is sinking in an overwhelming shadow of USA ruin. DLC stands out for it's heavy and gloomy atmosphere. Wandering the Divide is a very different experience than walking the Mojave desert - it feels more like Fallout 1 reborn in 3D than another desert segment of the world. Lonesome Road has it's own magic that I recommend to try. Worth to mention - it's literally the only DLC for New Vegas I had no technical issues with. No gamebreaking bugs, no game crashes, everything worked just fine, which is quite an achievement if you think about the base game itself.… Expand

The Environments were nice but nothing really special or notable. The character introduced, yes not Plural is very interesting and well developed but in the end that doesn't mean much when the gameplay isn't that good. Our character really receives no development except for small tidbits that really mean nothing but of course this is simply a problem inherited from the Main game, the Amnesia character.
   
   The game is just a challenge. They add challenging enemies and shiny new weapons.… Expand
