I was also disappointed in the general scenario of Honest Hearts. He's got little to say in general, and after being told that I took Caesar's life, he barely batted an eye. After being hinted at in the main game, I expected a little more depth from someone who was Caesar's second-in-command before being torched alive and tossed off the side of a cliff. The same is true to an even greater degree of the Burned Man, Joshua Graham.

Rather than the interesting, deep companions that came before her, she feels like a quick rough draft of who she should actually be. While I did get a kick out of the first follower I encountered, Follows-Chalk, the rest of the personalities in the canyons and hillsides of Zion feel under-written and flat.įor example, potential teammate Walking Cloud hardly expresses any emotion or distress when a terrible secret is revealed to her. Both the main campaign of New Vegas and Dead Money had top-notch dialogue, plotting, and characterization. It's not nearly as good as it should have been. While it's not a terrible expansion in any way, Honest Hearts suffers from several shortcomings that doom it to mundanity. Soon after, the Courier discovers a struggle between local Native American tribes and must intervene in the conflict.Ĭoming immediately after the fantastic Dead Money, I was doubtful that the developers would be able to top that delicious bit of macabre intricacy, and I was right. The premise of the mission is to accompany a trade caravan on its route and keep it safe, but the group is ambushed en route and things take a turn for the disastrous. The second of four Fallout: New Vegas DLC expansions, Honest Hearts takes the Courier from the wasteland of Nevada and transports him (or her) to the Zion National Park wilderness in Utah. LOW Joshua's reaction when I told him Caesar was dead.
