A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

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.

Yeah, I've never seen anybody rank the DLC the same way. They're all good/bad for very different reasons.
