Dead Money - pass
Honest Hearts - good
Old World Blues - Okayish, nice perks though
Lonesome Road - good
Doesn't matter in which order you play them.
New Vegas is the "best" fallout since the two originals and much better than 4.

Word, I just did Honest Hearts, I think I fucked it all up though, dude got killed right at the start and I blew some guy's head off that was dressed like a cowboy, will prolly go back in with my companions and clear the area out. I heard Dead Money is rage inducing which I'm not fond of. I'll do OWB and LR and be done.
I was surprised how good this game was, I had heard everyone rave about it, tried starting it twice but got bored for some reason. Two weeks ago I just hunkered down and kept at it. Once I got the hunting rifle with a scope and a Boone, the game was a riot, capping guys a mile out and clearing out areas before I even walked in. Good times.
Fuck Deathclaws though, especially the alpha males.

I had tried to replay New Vegas last year, only because Steam had added Achievements to the game after I had played it before. Also to see what mods were like these days.... BUT the problem I ran into is that the game wouldn't load half the time. So I just uninstalled it. 300 hours is enough, eff the achievements.

Like being able to put on a lot of hats for ridiculous stats?
I haven’t played this game since I had a ps3 back in 2012, but dead money was a good add on. I highly recommend it. Not big on the weapons you get from it, but the maps and journey were memorable.

Was Dead Money the one where there was that town, if you went into the fog you would die?

The whole scenario just didn't do it for me.

You have to complete Dead Money and escape with all the gold bars.

How can you take all the bars though?

I slow walked them out of the vault. After that shit show of a DLC I was not going to leave without a reward.
I later learned that the dispenser machines can be used to obtain more caps than even the gold bars are worth.

I ended up just stacking the gold bars as a trophy in my flop room in Novac.

One thing about New Vegas I liked but forgot, is that it used the game engine similar to Oblivion and FO3... BUT not Skyrim. The main difference between the two engines is how objects are handled. In New Vegas and Oblivion, if you drop an object, its hitbox will remain intact, but in Skyrim there is a limit to this (perhaps 5-10 items) and after that, items will meld together. What this means is that in Skyrim (I have not played FO4 yet, someone might know if they have) you cannot create piles of things. So in New Vegas, FO3 and Oblivion, you can find yourself a place to put the junk from the game... There is the caveat that as you put more and more crap in that one place, the area will get laggy when you enter it and there is the potential to kill your save, or crash your game upon entering the cell. Skyrim still has this lag situation, but as noted the items do not retain their hitboxes so it is not fun to make a large pile of items.
I forget exactly, in either FO3 or New Vegas, there is one location on the map that is a giant hole in the ground.

No it was somewhere in the middle of nowhere.

This exactly. Old world blues was my favorite DLC.

I don't think that's true about Skyrim. I bought the house in Whiterun but none of the upgrades and used it like a giant dumpster for all my loot trash. It looked like an episode of Hoarders. After I built my huge mansions from the Hearthfire DLC, I was able to safely clean out the pig stye and transport the junk to proper storage elsewhere without issue.
I had a gigantic pile of dragon bones and scales, for example, and I could swim in it like Scrooge McDuck.

You can still do it, but the items do not behave the same way.
