My ultimate point with this rant though is why the hell two dlcs have frighteningly similar plots and were released the same year. So the revenge seems tacked on and pointless. It happened in your past and you are now saddled with a bad case of I got shot in the head and can't remember anything. You do not actively control the delivery of the bomb control. Lonesome Road however has one fatal flaw.

This leads to someone from your past threatening to blow up more people as revenge. While unlike Mass effect you are just the messenger you are still partially responsible for the deaths of two settlements and both NCR and Legion forces. And in the Lonesome road dlc you are a courier bringing the control for some bombs into NCR territory to postpone the arrival of the legion. This leads to someone from your past threatening to blow up even more people as revenge. Despite your best efforts (if you so choose of course) you can't save anyone. In the Arrival dlc you actively shoot the asteroid you are on into the nearby relay blowing up an entire system in the process all to postpone the arrival of the reapers.

Yes obviously New vegas doesn't have giant space cuttlefish but come on. Why the hell are there two dlcs for games that came out in 2010 where I'm responsible for the destruction of a civilization and the deaths of god knows how many people? I was just having a talk with my brother about how completely idiotic Lonesome Road is (one of the aforementioned dlcs) and while I was putting more soda in our fridge it dawned on me that the Arrival dlc is very fucking similar.
