What order of the DLC best fit the story in your opinion?
Following up my last post about your personal runs, I want to ask what you think works best as your story or best fit the story in general?
I've been jostling it a bit in my head and I have a few issues.
I have decided where to put LR and HH.
Honest Heart def in the second half where you help the legion a bit to learn about the Burned Man. It helps build up his reputation before you meet the man himself.
Lonesome Road just feels perfect as the last adventure before the final battle, The 2nd Battle of Hoover Dam with your chosen faction (if the DLC didn't glitch and assume you are an NCR courier every time)
DM and OWB is a bit harder to place. I thought OWB would be a fun idea to do after Nipton, going to see it maybe to clear the fog of seeing how horrid the fate of Nipton was, but if you do this first, it cuts the impact of Vault 22, and the dangers of the experiments there like Nightstalkers and Cazadors. I do feel it works better if you head to OWB after suffering the effects of OWB before going to the source.
Which does make the placement even messier cause where do you put 'suffering the hellspawns that is cazadors and nightstalkers, and Vault 22'?
Dead Money feels best after you finish the Brotherhood questline and Veronica's companion quest. This being side quests does make the placement harder to put when.
