I quite enjoyed the DLC for the 800 points. I got 6-7 hours out of it and I'm very pleased with the story and combat elements. I was fortunate not to encounter any bugs in my first jaunt through so I'm very happy Obsidian and Bethesda took the time needed to shape it up and smooth it out. Overall 8/10 - Very well done Obsidian and Bethesda for yet another fine DLC I can't wait for the next one

My jaw seriously dropped when I saw the "Grunt" perk. I don't want to spoil it, but for my character, it's seriously too good to be true. THANK YOU FOR THE GRUNT PERK

Perks are disappointing, the creatures are ridiculously easy (I use crap EW and a jumpsuit so no i don't have awesome epic gear on me), the valley is very hard to navigate around, the White Legs are extremely powerful(That's a plus), the characters are interesting, there are very little choices, exploring Zion isn't very rewarding unless one is Survival oriented and Graham... Why oh why did they have to change Graham from his awesome Van Buren character into... That...?

I have not finished it but overall It's an okay DLC.
It has some very strong points but also got some very horrible points as well.

So overall it's okay, not AWESOME! But not horrible either, it's a good timesink but nothing too impressive.

This DLC is quite excellent. The region, the scenery, the weather, the loot, the perks, (of course) the level cap increase, and... Joshua Graham. I thought - when I got the DLC - that I was going to put a bullet in his bandaged head, but as soon as I walked in and saw him at that table, I changed my mind.

You've got to talk to the guy.

It's totally worth the 800 points.

I have to say I am pretty dissapointed with the DLC. I have not played much of it so I hope to be proved wrong.
For the simple fact that I HAVE to side with Joshua just smacked me in the nose.
PLEASE OH PLEASE! Prove me wrong!
EDIT: Gimmie the truth.

Managed to download , go through and complete it today. a HUGE improvement from what Dead Money was...(disaster)...Anyway had no glitch trouble at all apart from when i tried to re-load an old save after dying in combat and game froze but wasn't a huge problem. Very good storyline and characters.

Well, I finished it, and the only DLC's it was better was Broken Steel and Mothership Zeta.
The rest of the DLC's were all far more superior than Honest Hearts.

Exploration - It's interesting, coherent, good stuff for survival characters, but it was really not rewarding at all, and those [censored] .45 ammo, for [censored]s sake Obsidian, I know you're in love with your new toy but could you chill it down just a LITTLE BIT with the .45 loot rate? In some ammo boxes I even got .45 casings, CASINGS! Gah.
So exploration is interesting but largely unrewarding.

Characters - The first 3 characters felt far more interesting than anyone in the tribes did, Daniel, boring as hell, not one bit interesting, Graham, wow... He is a good guy with extreme methods, oh that's original, hell, his Chaotic Evil from Van Buren was far more interesting and one hell of a lot more original than the piece of crap Graham we got in HH, the named Sorrows tribals were interesting at first but their accent got tiring real quick. I did like Follow Chalks a lot though, too bad we, yet again, could not be given one new companion to bring back. (My vote would have been on Follow Chalks)

Story - When I first entered i pictured that the story was gonna be interesting with lots of interaction between these characters (Happy Trails) and the one's in Zion (Sorrows and Dead Horses), but when I entered it was like they scrapped the original plan last minute and hastily put in the other quests which were mostly just fetch quests, hell, one quest, "Stairway somethingsomething" was 1 Enter cave, 2 Open door, 3 Take map, done. So the main story was very unsatisfying especially with Graham, I really thought there was gonna be something greater with him, something dark, the bigger picture. *sigh*

Weapons - None of the new weapons really seem to be anything special from what we already got in NV and DM.

Perks - utterly disappointing, 6 perks and 3 of which are just +damage. Do we REALLY need anymore +%dam perks Obsidian? I thought we we're gonna be powerful enough what with the lvl 40 cap and all.

Difficulty - The White Legs were brutal, and I liked that, but the rest of Zion was pathetic really, sure enough it's very realistic and feels sort of right but still, it's a game, and I want a challenge, Zion did not give me any form of challenge what so ever outside of the White Legs, the wildlife were low-level to low-mid-level to mid-level, so even though I gimped myself going in I still kicked everything's ass with the exception of White Legs.

Choices - .... Wow... After Dead Money and NV this DLC was disappointing as [censored] regarding choices, maybe I'm blind and missed something but there's like 3 big choices in the main quest and some veeeery minor choices otherwise, it's all very very linear.

In closure, the DLC was not horrible, it was playable, a nice pointless cut down timesink.
But I don't expect to be replaying it as much as I replayed O:A, Pitt, PL and DM.

I did like the new gear and survival recipes but is it enough for the 800 MSP?
Hah! No...

/opinion

I will replay it some time this week but I doubt I'll change my mind about anything.

Besides, there's a bug when speaking with Grham, I told him I killed Caesar in surgery and after going through that dialogue tree the other options skipped and he just asked me "so are you going to help Daniel?".
I had not gone through the other dialogue so I was like "What? Help him with what?"

Oh and I also think it's a real [censored] move to us pro-Legion.
Why couldn't I reform Graham?
Why couldn't I slaughter Daniel and appoint myself as god to the Sorrows and manipulate them into joining the Legion?
Why couldn't I just simply help the White Legs?
I felt really awkward during the entire DLC to help these people "avoid" and even "kill" those who are planning to join the Legion.

I agree with Gabriel, for the most part.

I disagree about the weapons. I loved all of them. I mean, really, really loved them.

I found the White Legs laughably easy to mow over. Being swarmed by Giant Green Geckos, on the other hand, WAS a challenge.

And I also think it's definetely worth the 800 microsoft points.

Good things:

New recipes.
White Legs awesomesauce.
Follows-Chalk.
New tribal clothes.
Zion == Paradise for Survival characters regarding ingredients.

Other than that I find nothing really "good" about Honest Hearts. :sadvaultboy:

Weapons - I just don't see where any of them really fits, we already have a bunch of pistols and SMG's so the .45 didn't seem to fill any niche, the melee one's don't seem any spectacular either, the Yao Guai Gauntlet looks interesting but I bet every Unarmed player already has Pushy, Ballistic Fist or Zap Glove anyway. So "yay, new weapons", but do I want to go through HH for any of them, pfft, no... The only interesting one was the new EW which paralyzes people, I think it's going to be fun to play around with.

White Legs - well I gimped myself severely so it wasn't easy to kill them as they had Riot Shotguns, Anti-Material Rifles, Shishkebab's, .45 SMG's and Brush Rifles.

Green Gecko's - I was actually confused about them, so when I met three of them I just stood still so that they could hit me with their goo (I wore a jumpsuit) and they did no damage worth noticing at all really.

This DLC is quite excellent. The region, the scenery, the weather, the loot, the perks, (of course) the level cap increase, and... Joshua Graham. I thought - when I got the DLC - that I was going to put a bullet in his bandaged head, but as soon as I walked in and saw him at that table, I changed my mind.

You've got to talk to the guy.

It's totally worth the 800 points.

Yes I was soo eager to see him and it was awesome. His knowlege about everything impresses me. He his calm and collected and looks bad ass in that outfit of his. Overall im rather liking the DLC. 9/10 so far...

Kinda hate how the .45 pistol has the same sound and reloading as the 9mm pistol...
