I absolutely hated Dead Money. Especially the "escort" part in the beginning. Escort missions are literally the cancer of video games. It was repetitive as hell and every time you got to the destination, "Oh I'm sorry, this wasn't to your liking? don't worry i'll run around and fetch items x, y and z for you!"
It all started with me sneaking around, and transitioned to me running past the ghosts not even killing them because i was so bored with it (Like it was a speedrun or something).
I did enjoy the characters and stealing all those gold bars in the end though.

Favorite DLC was actually Lonesome Road because you didn't have to run back and forth the same places over and over and over. And it actually had an impact on the "real wasteland" where your choices when launching the nuke had consequences other than a cut scene of story telling. Not to mention the amazing view when you first entered the area.

I guess the part where you're forced to use companions.

Yup, had no problems doing the escort thing once, but repeat the almost exact same thing 2 more times felt more like a chore than anything to be honest.

While that's true, my point is that there's no alternate option to tell them to crawl up where the sun never shines, and just continue with the story an alternate route. From what I remember you have to convince them to go with you in the first place.
