I finished my 2nd playthtough of Dead Money and caught myself thinking it doens't really deserves all the hate it gets. Here's what I think of it:
The Good:
1. The storylines are great, from the companions to the history of the Sierra Madre and the tragic tale of Frederick and Vera.
2. The overrall atmosphere and feeling of ''old world blues'' throghout the dlc, especially in Vera's suite, is beautiful and very melancholic.
The Bad:
1. It's not hard, it's just annoying. Lots of people complain that it strips you out of your gear, but before every DLC I leave my stuff at the Lucky 38 bc I know I will come back with a lot of loot. Problem is that the weapons they give you are underpowered.
2. The Villa is confuse to navigate, looks the same everywhere and its ugly to look at.
The Ugly:
1. Enemies are sponge-bullets. They're not hard, they're just take too much damage to kill. You can just run through most of them
2. The Vault is one the worst parts of it, too boring and takes too much time to get to the end, lots of boring enemies and SPEAKERS!
3. Fuck Speakers/Radios, they add nothing of value and dumb down the pacing forcing you kill yourself over and over on a trial and error hell.
4. Final confrontation with Elijah is awful, you don't even get to have a face to face talk with the man and your reasoning to get him to come down to the vault is also shit.
Dead Money has a lot of good things going on for it, but it ultimately gets overshadowed by the great amount of bad decisions
