Today’s game is Fallout New Vegas. I began the Honest Hearts DLC today. I also discovered today I am way too over leveled for this with NCR Ranger Armor and 100 Guns stats. I am 1 Shotting almost every enemy and plowing my way through the DLC. The Left Over Grenade Launcher rounds from dealing with the Death Claw quarry is only making this easier

Honest Hearts is a highlight for me anytime I play through New Vegas.

The atmosphere, characters, stories. It's just so good.

Also controversial opinion, Follows-Chalk probably my favourite companion in the game. Base and DLC

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

This DLC legit made visiting mount Zion national park one of my life goals

[–] MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

I would die for Follows-Chalk. He seems so Chill. Like he’d be fun to hang out with on a weekend night and just kickback

[–] LemmySoloHer@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Follows-Chalk is a homie for life! "Like the shadow of a ghost" is one of the great sneak-mode lines.

[–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Always try and keep him with me as long as possible. Just the best companion to be around.

I loved the different story paths and choices for Honest Hearts. The history of the tribes,

, such a blast.

And with the Wild Wasteland trait

"Goot"

Ahh. I didn’t have Wild Wasteland. I was wondering why I didn’t get to see Two-Bears-High-Fiving. But yeah. I love DLC. It feels so well made and I love the ambience. The only DLC I feel like comes close for me is Dead Money

[–] LemmySoloHer@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

It's always nice to see someone else that really liked Dead Money! There's something really intriguing about the challenge of surviving the Sierra Madre without all the fancy gear and weapons I'd been relying on for so long. Assembling the ragtag team of prisoners was fantastic too -- Dog/God, Dean Domino and Veronica's-very-own Christine was quite the cast. The only thing I didn't dig about Dead Money was the VATS glitch with the Holorifle that causes the game to get stuck in the VATS combat animation with no way out. I didn't confirm it as a bug until the third time it happened (but luckily after the second time I was smart enough to save immediately before testing the rifle in VATS again to see if that was the cause).

Spoilers don't work like that on Lemmy.

You have to do

Tap for spoiler

I just used the built-in spoiler controls on the Eternity app which appear fine on there but must not be set up to work outside of the app?

Whatever the reason, thanks for the heads up! Turned my laptop back on to edit it as an extra precaution since I've never had a problem with the browser style controls.

Be sure to read computer terminals logs in Honest Hearts.

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 2 points 3 months ago

Now that's right purdy!

[–] sir_pronoun@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I dare you to do Katawa Shouju next

[–] HiddenLychee@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

God damn it's been so long since I've heard anyone say that name

[–] MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It’s been on the list for a while. I just have a bunch of other games placed ahead of it

[–] sir_pronoun@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

This is the internet telling you to rethink the order of that list :*
