Fallout: Ranking Every Add-On From Worst To Best

When you have a franchise as provably strange as Fallout, sometimes the best thing those in charge can do is embrace and double down on that weirdness to the nth degree. Because if you do, you just might create something as brilliant as the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.

Old World Blues has just about anything you could possibly want from a Fallout DLC. There's a fantastic new map to get acquainted with, a preponderance of new and unique gear to collect, and a twisted narrative with new moral quandaries and secrets to uncover.

Above all, however, Old World Blues is unabashedly hilarious.

You'd honestly be hard pressed to find any piece of Fallout media as charming and entertaining as this surreal journey to recover your missing brain while making the acquaintance of talking appliances and being pit against countless electronic adversaries.

Speaking of which, this expansion also proved that a Fallout story with an emphasis on robots and little to no human NPCs is a viable idea, which bodes very well for the upcoming Fallout 76.

Ultimately, there's a lot to be said about Fallout's add-ons and how they help make the franchise so great. They can give us more drama to experience, lore to uncover, and philosophical questions to ponder. Old World Blues certainly has all those things, but it also reminds us that, above all else, these add-ons can just let us have more fun in Fallout's strange world.
