Does Not Redeem
The endings do not redeem the story. They condemn it further into the depths of horrible gaming writing they've made it out to be. What Dreams or Aspiritions does V actually lose? What actually is achieved by V or Johnny in this DLC, much less the rest of the game? It proves through it's own ending that Arasaka was not incapable of saving us, Alt is not incapable of saving us, methods do exist to save us and this just proves that no one can be bothered to actually help us. There are scenes well acted and I have to say Reed's face is the best animated thing in this whole game, which is sadly not something the rest of the game pulls off. The "mechanic fixes" have actually caused decrease in my enjoyment when I'm limited in Health Inhalers and Grenades to two before a recharge removes the need to craft them, which is a big letdown. Losing some of my Cybernetics as of starting up my old save (for a DLC I never bought) is also a fault I can and will attribute to this DLC I again DO NOT OWN. A Downgrade made to accomadate something I did not pay for. And the fact that our standing with Johnny regarding the new "True Ending" in this DLC does not change his reactions to our choice is also a horribly wasted opportunity. All this DLC to have nothing happen that our character can actually appreciate. Everything you've done, achieved, gained, and lost has been for Nothing. As Johnny Silverhand himself said: "It was a big f*cking Nothingburger".
