Fallout: New Vegas – Honest Hearts (2011) Review

Fallout: New Vegas – Honest Hearts is the first downloadable content (DLC) pack for the 2010 role-playing game Fallout: New Vegas. Developed by Obsidian Entertainment and published by Bethesda Softworks, it was released on May 17, 2011, for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.

Honest Hearts takes place in Zion National Park, Utah, in the year 2281, four years after the events of Fallout: New Vegas. The player character, the Courier, is hired by a group of missionaries from the New Canaanite Order to guide them to Zion, where they believe they will find a new home. However, the Courier’s caravan is ambushed by a group of tribals, and the Courier is separated from the missionaries.

The Courier must then find a way to reunite with the missionaries and help them reach Zion. Along the way, the Courier will encounter a variety of new characters, including Joshua Graham, a former legate of Caesar’s Legion who now lives in exile in Zion. The Courier will also learn more about the history of Zion and the conflict between the tribes that live there.

Honest Hearts is a well-written and engaging DLC pack that adds a new area to explore, new characters to meet, and new quests to complete. The story is well-paced and the choices the player makes have a real impact on the outcome. The new area, Zion National Park, is a beautiful and diverse environment that is a welcome addition to the Fallout universe.

One of the strengths of Honest Hearts is its characters. Joshua Graham is a particularly well-developed character, and his story is both tragic and inspiring. The other characters in the DLC are also well-written and memorable.

The gameplay in Honest Hearts is similar to that of Fallout: New Vegas. The player character can explore the new area, interact with characters, and complete quests. The DLC also introduces some new gameplay elements, such as the ability to climb cliffs and rappel down walls.

Overall, Fallout: New Vegas – Honest Hearts is a great DLC pack that is well worth playing. It adds a new area to explore, new characters to meet, and new quests to complete. The story is well-written and the choices the player makes have a real impact on the outcome.
