That's the thing, Lonesome Road and Old World Blues were both amazing. Where as Fallout 3's only amazing DLC was The Pitt, and even that had some sour notes in it.
Those DLCs made me enjoy the game, but the base game? It just felt so underwhelming. The game is advertised with Vegas at the center, this big megalopolis, but when you get there, there are five casinos that ban you for life if you hit the jackpot.
I agree with you, but I don't exactly have any proof...
