Now, I know that each DLC had a different story, and different weapons. But nobody has really mentioned the setting/atmosphere.

Which one appeals to you more? Why?

bouth one for his dark terror feeling the other the the amazing landscape

Descriptions:
Dead Money: A raging red cloud surrounding a villa. Makes you feel like you are alone (well, you are alone) and have nothing with you. Poison. Damage. Terror. Intensity. Ghost People. Gala Event. Sierra Madre Chips. Automatic Rifle. Red Terror! Thunder! Lightning! All is dark and gloomy. All is red and dusty......Father Elijah!

Honest Hearts: A valley with beautiful canyons and terrain. Excellent daytime. At night you can see innumerable stars in the sky. Makes you feel alive (well, you are alive) and ready. Virgin River makes me feel safe standing in it. The plants and life are excellent, you see much green in Zion. Rain in Zion makes you feel like you're well and poised for combat. The rocks and the canyons' magnificence is just refreshing to be in. The wildlife, Green Geckos, Dogs, Yao Guai, and Cazadores, never seen better wildlife than this. White Legs. Virgin River. Three Marys. Rivers. Fresh Waters. Wildlife. Rain. Feeling Alive. Wonderful Daylight. Magnificent Stars at night. .45 Auto Rounds. .45 Auto Pistol. Plants. Green Life! Peace! Quiet! All is well and shining. All is glorious as day is bright! Joshua Graham.......A Light Shining in Darkness!

I choose Honest Hearts's setting over Dead money. (Obvious choice for me, because of my longer description of HH)
As I've said, Honest Heart's terrain makes me feel awake and ready.

Dead Money. Why? Because the story and general mood they were going for matched the atmosphere and setting. You're trapped and in danger and your life is on the line and you can definitely tell just by looking around.
Honest Hearts on the other hand gives the impression of being peaceful and trainquil, which is all good and fine, until you realize that going anywhere while not in sneak mode will lead to three rapidly spawning Giant Cazadors stabbing you in the face before you can react. The setting made me want to stroll and enjoy my surroundings, yet I couldn't because the spawns there are so crazy that I had to be ready at any moment.

Both settings are very good, mind you. It's more to do with the fact that Dead Money's functions perfectly whereas HH's gets kinda thrown out of whack because of a weird gameplay mechanic. It's like if you walked through Ivanpah Dry Lake and saw a bunch of people gambling at poker tables: the Ivanpah Dry Lake itself is still awesome but the gamblers just kinda ruin that barren feel...

Dead Money. Who ever thought a red filter would look so good! :fallout:

Dead Money. Something about feeling like I can die at any given point and time is amazing to me.

Dead Money. The sense of isolation, the general feeling of decadence turned to decay and ruin, the balconies overlooking the narrow winding streets, the crazed writing on the walls reminding you that others have been in your position and not survived, and that you are trapped there (much like those people who became trapped in their protective suits, and turned mad). It's all a paradise gone wrong. The old gambling tables manned by forgotten, ghostlike technology, you being a pawn for an old man driven mad by his addiction for the ultimate jackpot... it's all so gooood!

The setting of Dead Money quickly bored me.

Don't get me wrong, atmosphere was amazing, it was just that seeing everything with that red/purple tint for hours on end bored me rather quickly.

Dead Money - Fantastic setting, dark, mysterious, lonely, deep sentiments of death..

Honest Hearts was truly beautiful, but Dead Money did such a great job at creating a horror atmosphere.
I guess I gotta go with Dead Money as I've played it 4 times and have not gotten bored of it while Honest Hearts I managed to play twice before it got boring.
Cause they're a tie.
So DM wins out on other aspects.

For me it was Dead Money. As much as I loved the beautiful scenery in Honest Hearts, I was drawn in more by the constrained alleyways and buildings (not quite like anything in F3 or NV) in Dead Money. The poisonous gas and aggravating radios were a pain, but added to the seemingly constant danger that was only a few steps away most of the time.

In Dead Money you could feel that dark, heavy, depressing post apocalyptic atmosphere (and I'm not talking only about the Cloud) that was missing from vanilla NV, while Honest Hearts felt like some kind of safari, so Dead Money for me.

Both settings are amazing but I have to give a slight edge to Dead Money. The atmosphere is so dark and Stygian, it almost feels like youre wandering around in Dante's Inferno, (or at least Purgatorio).

Dead money. While I love honest hearts environment, dead money makes me feel alone, struggling to survive and I dread going into the dlc, allthough thats more because you are in a maze with poison fog, looking for tiny code disks you only have one chance to get while you are there.

But yeah ded money, even ignoring the disks the atmosphere is just better, it would be great if I could return however.

Hated Dead Money's setting. I liked Dead Money, don't get me wrong, but I just don't like those kinds of settings.
I'm a Winter snowy fan setting, I really enjoy those for whatever reason. Guess it's why I enjoyed Operation: Anchorage. Well, that, the story behind it was really cool too..

Notice how most replies have said Dead Money but the Poll is evenly split?

HH is the natural paradise that we all enjoy, and every time we see it, we all think of Skyrim.

All we need now is recruitable Yao Guai with rank 2 of Animal Friend (making that Perk genuinely useful) and the game with have a 143% increase in positive reception.

I liked both.

Dead money had that nice gloomy feel to it.

honest hearts had that awe inspiring feel.

I liked both.

I prefer dead money as i feel it's a big change from what I'm used to, but HH had rain, and that just made me happy
