I woke up at 2 AM excited as I could be for this DLC. I waited along with 80+ users in the forum for it to come out. About 2 hours and 30 minutes later it was released and downloaded. What baffled me was that a large location DLC that was supposed to be similar to PL was such a small download (I don't remember PL's download). Ignoring it I was excited to hop right in. The introduction was straight forward, a little more that I would have liked it seeing how your put with a group of interesting characters. Unfortunately, you don't have too much time to bond with them which was a little upsetting and made the DLC's beginning feel rushed. So fast forwarding a bit the locations that were there to discover were less than acceptable in my opinion. If it wasn't for an old survivor's notes I'd say this was the stalest thing I've ever played. Of course we had those good old useless locations that Obsidian seems to love to throw in here and there, but no different from the vanilla game. The story didn't have the most depth to it and really just closed a short story of who Joshua Graham was and what happened to him. The two options you have are only given to you very late in the game giving it a bleak play through and little replayability. The level cap increase didn't bother me at all but I believe some people frown upon it. If I'm not mistaken there's an option along with this DLC that allows you to prevent leveling up but I'll have to look into that. So now here I am in Zion Canyon, just about every inch of the place ventured, nothing else to do.
Now this was my opinion on the DLC and feel free to voice your own opinion but be warned that flaming will be ignored. Now a little note I just want to add is this. I can only speak for my self here when I say that I'm disappointed. I've stalked the forums for the smallest amount of news on this DLC and have waited about five months or longer. To be given this after that long of a wait, I expected much more. This is honestly like a slap across the face to me. Fallout is more than just a game I play in my free time. I'd like to think of my self as a dedicated fan who loves this series more than any other, and to be given this garbage? It's just unexceptable. I'll leave it at that. But I do hope I'm not the only one that feels this way, it just makes me feel sick to know this is the quality of your content your charge your fans.
P.S.
You forgot to use about half the map again, seems like a repeating unfortunate mistake. Next time at least have the dignity to trim it out instead of taunting us with it.
