Bought the Ultimate Edition from GoG when it was on sale, as I haven't done any of the DLCs before.
Boone is still my favourite companion, but Veronica is my bruiser. I know ED-E is referred to with he/him pronouns, but I read it as "Edie" not "Eddie" so the eyebot is a honorary girl ✨
I feel like grading NV DLCs can take a dissertation-long amount of pages. Reading and nodding all along, I feel like you are right in the pure gameplay dimension, but story as it told can shuffle them into a different order, and involve a lot of argument, not to say about another dimension - user freedom and feel of corridor-ness of the experience that once again puts addons in different buckets due to their design. Thinking of it, I feel like the thread asking about grading them, posted at the right time, can become legendary by Fedi standards.
