   -interesting new area to explore
   -nostalgia vibes from fallout 2 with the tribials
   -great writing and voice acting
   -it`s quite lenghty DLC if you expore and do all quests, I especially suggest to explore caves as they containt really interesting story about Father in the caves.

   Thumbs up from this Fallout3 fan. I liked the setting far more than Dead Money's morbid landscape, liked it better than New Vegas. I play atThumbs up from this Fallout3 fan. I liked the setting far more than Dead Money's morbid landscape, liked it better than New Vegas. I play at greatest difficulty and hardcore, and it's still not hard enough, but in Honest Hearts it's not easy, and I had to carefully watch my ammo and supplies, even with a few perks that let me make my own. I do wish Zion was fully realized, more depth and development, more interaction with the various tribes, friendships, and perhaps even a little romance. On the minus side, Honest Hearts crashes Fallout-NV more than usual (for me it's uncommon for FNV to crash, but it crashed about 5-6 times in the whole HH playthrough), companions utter their convo lines too often, and, like I stated, I really wish there was more to this world-within-a-world, more depth. Regardless, gave it a 8, and I highly recommend it.… Expand

Dead Money was better story and action wise. It's made for mid-level players; especially those who favor small guns. There are no fun energy or big guns to be had here. Though molotovs are around! The game is somewhat fun and I enjoyed going through it, but it's lack luster for a primary point: It's very, very, incredibly short. YOu can enjoy it, but it should have been more.… Expand

   The game is ridiculously unstable and I can only play for about 20 minutes before the game crashes. People said to try turning off hardcore mode - that didn't work. People said to travel alone so the companion perk doesn't try to trigger when reaching certain locations - that didn't work. The DLC is just unplayable garbage, and that's a real shame because I think Joshua Graham is an interesting character.… Expand

Respecting player builds and catering a game around whatever the player decides to do is an amazing achievement. Honest Hearts continues this achievement but does so in smaller increments and a much less compelling world and design. For $10, very little is added to the overall experience.
   
   In terms of world design, the change in scenery is certainly refreshing. However, the Zion Valley in which Honest Hearts takes place is unfortunately void of much interesting locations. At least a third of the area is littered with caves and there isn't much incentive to explore the 30+ different marked areas on the map.
   
   In terms of story, the introduction of Joshua Graham and the two tribes that are vying for control of the region is interesting, albeit brief distraction that I was able to finish all available sidequests within 3 hours. Nothing is different much in terms of gameplay, which is a good thing. The biggest disappointment comes in the underwhelming content. What's available is serviceable, just not groundbreaking in any way and at times, boring.… Expand

Boring and annoying to navigate. I just ran trough most of it to finish it faster. Everything is so liniar ...are stupid ...and such low effort into the design and aesthetics. Even with mods and ENB it still looks like trash.… Expand
