“For many of us, the road is a difficult one, but the path is always there to follow.”

Looming over Honest Hearts is Joshua Graham, a character musing on rebirth and hellbent on revenge. He’s one of Fallout’s greatest characters, yet tragically doesn’t play a large enough role. Unfortunately, we are largely left with a bland map, scant characters, and uninspiring quests. Thankfully, at least, we are given a taste of newfound culture, religion, and language in the post-apocalypse that doesn’t feel forced. Additionally, there is a fantastic side-story stuck away in caves that explores the origins of the DLC’s mythical Father in the Cave.

Honest Heart’s exploration of revenge is, ultimately, rather shallow. While Joshua Graham is an absolutely phenomenal character, it’s not enough to save this from being mediocre content.
