All the colors of brown!

Started Lonesome Road today, and it very much the opposite of Old World Blues.

The premise so far is that Ulysses, the courier that rejected to carry the platinum chip and all around wet blanket, asks the Courier to navigate a bombed out wasteland in order to have a face to face chat. Along the way are nuclear warheads that must be detonated in order to progress. This may sound insane, but these are the weakest nukes ever! A mini-nuke has more power than these! I was able to stand on one and explode it under my feet and only lose half my health and get a medium dose of radiation.

While OWB had a great motivation (find your brain!) there is no motivation here other than find out what Ulysses wants (other than to ramble on about history and destiny). While OWB had brightly light and diverse locations, LR has bust up brown roads and busted up brown towns. While OWB had robo-scorpions, lobotomites, trauma suits, and cyber-dogs, LR only so far has red ghouls. At least you get an eyebot companion, but my stealth suit is better company.

I really hope this gets more interesting quick, or this will be even more dull than The Pitt!
