Hello there

I'm just curious to see what everyone's favourite Fallout DLC is and why it's your favourite?

Anything from Fallout 3, NV, or 4. (If you wanna put Wastelanders from 76 then you can as well)

Old World Blues. The writing is just ridiculously good.

Old World Blues.
+Great characters
+Plenty of new loot
+Can return to Big Mountain
+Perfect for science types of characters
+Ties into the vanilla lore

Damn, fair play to both of yous, Old World Blues is a great DLC, only got round to playing it again in the past couple of days, and I really enjoyed it more this time than I normally have.

The characters are so mad, in a good way

I still need to play NV's dlc. It's crazy its been this long and I still haven't played but now that I have my load order configured right and all my mods are working so Im really looking forward to diving in to them. That being said I've played fallout 3 religiously with dozens of playthroughs completing the game 100% multiple times and I'd have to say Point Lookout is my favorite. I really like the atmosphere and change in scenery compared to the base game. I don't remember much of it since its been almost 10 years since ive played it last but I also just recently finished modding FO3 as well and have a Point Lookout overhaul so im going to deffinetly play it again soon!

That's fair, and awww can't wait for you to play the FNV DLCs, I think it's better if you play them in order of release, cause they have an overarching narrative to them

Dead Money has always stuck out to me

I've played more of FO3 recently through TTW and the Pitt is also up there for me now

I'll second Dead Money.

It's probably got the best setting/narrative of any Fallout dlc. It benefits so much from a small cast and small environment. Yeah, it's more constricting, but it also allows for more time exploring the characters and the setting. There's a rich narrative, that feels like it fills a void in the Fallout world, the hunt for a lost treasure, the elusive Sierra Madre...

I got some real Xanadu vibes from the place as well. Someone on the writing team really like their Citizen Kane.

Also gotta say, for as much as I disliked Fallout 4, I really enjoyed Far Harbour. Great narrative, with a lot of introspective story telling, rather than the overly grandiose storytelling of the main game.

I agree with both of yous about Dead Money and Far Harbour especially.

Dead Money just feels like a throwback to old heist movies, but it also feels completely unique because of the Fallout element of it, it's a great setting with a great backstory

I also love Far Harbour, with it and Lonesome Road being my favourite two Fallout DLCs.

Whilst many people may not have enjoyed the main story to Fallout 4, Far Harbour brought us 3 distinct, morally grey factions, all with Strengths, Weaknesses and skeletons in their closet.

Some of the quests in Far Harbour, like the murder mystery Vault is also great, and Far Harbour itself is a character in itself.

Old world blues is the funniest DLC there is, full stop. I haven't howled more than that game.

However....

Nuka World's and far harbor's music was 2nd to none. Excellent atmospheric music.

Honest Hearts New Vegas. I think that it's the best DLC as I loved the setting and enjoyed exploring Zion. Old World Blues would be second as I also loved the scientific setting behind it and how fun it is exploring the Big MT. I also inclusively loved the lore, and how Elijah, Ulysses, and Christine visited the place leaving remnants of their past for the player to explore. Overall all of the New Vegas DLC's were great however I think it would've been better if there was another one which took the player back to a section of California, maybe even Mariposa.

Fallout 3 - Point Lookout had this weird dark humored 50's horror film vibe to it that had stood out to me. There was a weird lovecraftian vibe and i lost a piece of my brain and did some psychedelics to be accepted by tribal's. The Pitt came in second that felt like an ode to Mad Max.

Fallout NV - Dead money still sticks in my head today; it was almost like a horror treasure hunt; with really high anxiety moments. I felt very uneasy when traversing the Sierra Madre. Not the mention how unique the characters Dean Domino and Dog were.

Fallout 4 - Far Harbor was well written with an amazing atmosphere. Lots up greyed decisions to be made.

Fallout 76 - wastelanders; it's not great, but at least they put some fallout back into fallout.

I absolutely LOVE Old World Blues; the writing on there is pure comedic genius, along with spot on VA work from the cast— it manages to be wacky and hilarious, all the while staying loyal and grounded to the lore. It has my vote for best DLC overall.

Although, I'd have to say my favorite isolated experience would be uncovering the story of the Survivalist in Honest Hearts— now THAT is writing. It was just a form of storytelling I hadn't experienced at the time, and learning about the trials he went through both broke and warmed my heart.

In the off chance that some of you are reading this and have no idea who the Survivalist is or only know about his rifle, I suggest you pop back into Honest Hearts and go cave hunting for them terminal logs. If that's too much work, youtuber Oxhorn tells it really well in one of his videos.

I would say Old World Blues is the best but my favorite of all time is Point Lookout, there's just something so unforgettably off and eerie about the whole dlc, nothing makes me want to go back more to Fo3 then PL but I still haven't replayed it in about 10 years because I fear it won't be as good as I remember

Definitelly Old Word Blues for me, the characters, their backstory, the scorpions, and the very good perks.

Dead Money!! all the way!

I cant remember well to put some details. But it was so unique and had those feelings.. also i loved the BAR and the holorofile basically it is all a masterpiece.
I didnt play old world blues and the lonesome road sadly and i want to play them as well one day.

PS all of the dlcs are GREAT from both FO3 and FNV.

Damn, I don't know why but I'm surprised by how much love Old World Blues and Dead Money is getting.

Not saying it's a bad thing, just saying I wasn't expecting all of this love for those DLCs, it's great to see

Far Harbor. The plot is great, the characters are interesting and you feel your actions really affect the NPCs life. You can play and replay it several times to get very different results.

Jesus now this is a hard one. Best fallout dlc ever? Each dlcs have their strengths and weaknesses so they're all equally good to me. My favorite would be Far Harbor. Good story, good loot, and really eerie place.

Hmm, just gonna name the best from each game in my opinion.

Fallout 3: Mothership Zeta/Broken Steel
Fallout New Vegas: Old World Blues
Fallout 4: Far Harbor

Though I would be completely bias about Mothership Zeta as I had a mod that made the dlc worth playing over and over again.
