got paid on friday so i splurged and bought Honest Hearts and Old World Blues. currently going through OWB with my level 30-something lesbian scientist, Shelly Sundial. Dead Money's Holorifle makes everything (in the NV wasteland, and in the Big Empty) explode almost instantly, so nothing is really all that challenging...until I run out of MF cells and have to switch to another weapon, anyway, at which point I can barely dent anything.
really enjoying the premise and the area so far. only complaint is that the intro monologue "conversation" thing with the Think Tank is really really long. crazy long.
