Oh god yes.
[censored] normal DLC's, no really, [censored] them.
They don't "add" or "expand" the 'actual game' what so every, all they do is give a side-adventure with some cool toys to bring back home.
Now a quest pack on the other hand would give me an incentive to play the game over again to find the quests and see what options I have in them and how the faction reputation and disguise mechanics can do with them.
So yeah, I'd rather have quest packs than DLC's really.
Cause while a DLC can be very VERY interesting and fun when it's over it's over and nothing has changed or been added to the actual game we return to.
Like with DM, it added more lore and gave us Christine and Elijah, very nice lore was given with it, but once the DLC was done what did it actually "add" to the main game?
An unbalanced dispenser, some new toys and some dialogue with Veronica.
Quest packs are superior IMO.
Let me explain a little better:
So I start up Dead Money, great intro, great characters, great writing, great setting, it's simply an awesome adventure.
But then as I complete this awesome adventure I go back to the Mojave, after all that has happened I go back to update ranger stations radio reports and deliver stuff for people.
There's nothing new waiting for me back home (vanilla game), I just return to the same old thing.
A quest pack on the other hand would make me want to explore the 'actual game' again for the new stuff.
