    “Lonesome Road ignored what made New Vegas great… it’s stellar writing.” So you didn’t play Lonesome Road? It was an amazing conclusion to the DLCs and the Courier vs Ulysses arc. It tied up loose ends perfectly.
  • Lonesome Road is the conclusion of the overall arc of the DLC. The previous three sets you up for that final confrontation with Ulysses and it makes it clear that this DLC is a final exam where you take your Courier through a gauntlet to meet your twisted mirror image in Ulysses. I usually don't disagree with your choices but I think putting Lonesome Road at number 2 is wrong.

    If you think Lonesome Road missed the point of the game then I’m pretty sure you’re the one who missed the point.

    Did they even play lonesome road amazing story that tied up all the dlc with you facing Ulysses to decide the fate of new Vegas and helps to write the story for the sequel with the tunnlers along with upgrading ed-e to being a amazing ally. Fry's dog alone put this dlc into my hall of dlc fame.

    Ewan: Morbius is a founding member of the Midnight Sons along with Blade and Ghost Rider. As a comics expert, it was expected that you would know that.
  • @theavenger2378
    Sims 4, Midnight Suns, Dragon Age, Fallout... I'm impressed! This video should go on the '10 videos where WhatCulture completely missed the mark' list.

    Wow. Three hard Ls in a row. Warden's Keep was a fun dlc that offered an interesting side story and lore, a great armor set, Starfang, new skills for each class, and a storage system that also could be used to upgrade gear. It you wanted to bash a DLC from Dragon Age Origins, then you have picked the gifts DLC. Pinnacle Station may not have been the best dlc ever, but it was a fun distraction that was also helpful for grinding out all the ability achievements. Finally, Lonesome Road was the final piece of the Courier's story in NV. Every bit of it was amazing. Learning more about ED-E, trying to unravel what Ulysses wanted, and discovering a part of the Courier's past that they can no longer remember after being shot in the head. It was an amazing dlc, and I wish more games had content half as good as Lonesome Road.

    I thought lonesome road was better than dead money, the annoyingly punishing enemies with high health and your inventory reset made dead money so unenjoyable. Lonesome road has a nice story tie as well
  • @Churchill22
    Lonesome road was absolutely amazing and the story it added, which was built up in all the dlcs was unbelievably on point. Sorry but that one just shouldn't be on the list
  • @DesiTBaker
    Normally I'm for these lists, but listing a bunch of dlc you have qualms with is not the same as the dlc missing the point of the main game. Putting ME and NV on this list was tragic.
  • @langleymneely
    I totally get why & how dubious people instantly raise their eyebrows at Morbius’ inclusion into ANYTHING Marvel related right now but out of all the mediums used to adapt Marvel Comics and characters the Midnight Suns video game is exactly where it makes sense to include Morbius. Hes one of the original “founding” members of the team from the comics. Granted it was Midnight SONS back then and was really just a way for Marvel to designate a very loose collection of supernatural/occult characters that couldn’t maintain books on their own.
  • @mr.pacman5466
    I love that everyone in comments really love Lonesome Road. I love Democracy
  • @ohboi8765
    Speaking bad on Lonesome Road? Nah
  • @joestacey6185
    "What are the Avengers doing in a Midnight Suns game?" Also: "What is Morbius doing in a Midnight Suns game?" Urgh...
  • Hey now, Warden's Keep was a really good addition that filled out the lore of Ferelden and Thedas in general (as well as some good equipment and a new ability). Having Levi in camp was a good way of short-cutting to the checkout rather than searching for it.
  • Your take on Lonesome Road sounds like an "I suck at the game" complaint. I understand that the combat in Fallout isn't great, but it's not that hard to adjust to the buggy shooting aspects. If you can't get past that simple problem, then you shouldn't be playing a DLC that has "for experienced couriers" at the start of it.
  • @Will63081
    The thing about Battlefield though is if you are not there Day 1 unlocking weapons you may have a tough climb by the time you jump on. The starter weapons versus the later unlocks are too off balance... you lose a lot of players because they get on with the basic stuff and get wrecked and have to keep getting wrecked in a slower than normal grind to unlock decent equipment to compete with the current average player base (and don't even think about getting airborne because they will take you down before you even take off). The balance between starting weapons and unlocks has always been a major flaw in BF though.

    I actually didn't have much of a problem with the first Mass Effect combat system. Sure it was overly simplified when compared with other shooter games, it was passable once you got used to its unique system and actually upgraded your gear.
