History YMMV / FalloutDust

* HilariousInHindsight: [[spoiler: The 2024 TV series would show New Vegas in ruins and clouded by dust.]]

** The Divide is this UpToEleven. Getting there is is its own chore.[[note]]The Hopeville Silo Entrance is blocked-off and the only way into the region proper is by navigating Zion National Park and The Long Dark, home to an [[InvincibleBoogeymen unkillable mutant]] and a trap-filled maze, respectively.[[/note]]If you managed it, look forward to EliteMooks and ''Trained Deathclaws'' that work in tandem with said Mooks. Just to cap it all off, lore on the Tribals shooting at you is all you get from that whole venture. No cool weapons or major events. Just text.

* VindicatedByHistory: Originally, while having it's own niche fanbase, the mod was usually derided as a masochist nightmare made for people who "don't like fun games", and nothing really worth talking about. Thanks to exposure from several promient Lets Players which resulted in an explosion of upvotes on the Nexus (now being in the ''10'000's'', with hundreds of thousands of downloads); the mod has rexamined as a ''fantastic'' SurvivalHorror experience, with a huge wealth of unique encounters, a chilling and throughly fun extension of ''Fallout'' Lore and gameplay, a suprisingly well-crafted hidden story, and a work that brings the NightmareFuel of ''Fallout'' UpToEleven.

* BrokenBase: Discussion about the mod boils down to one of two camps. Those who think the mod is fine as an exciting challenge mod that pushes players to their limits, or those who see it as completely missing the point of New Vegas' themes in favor of generic post-apocalypse grimdark for its own sake.

* UnexpectedCharacter: One of the unnamed hostile survivors defending the Northern Passage is [[VideoGame/Fallout3 Butch DeLoria]].

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: Between the mod author ignoring the theme of civilization recovering in favor of a grimdark post-apoc setting and the Mojave being filled with generic shoot-on-sight survivalists, it can be seen this way.

* SelfImposedChallenge: The only reason to ever go to Jacobstown is to test yourself or for the Insanity encounters. The enemies are so tanky and the rewards there so few it's an absolutely worthless endeavor.

* QuicksandBox: A map large as the Mojave desert and the sole goal of fleeing from the area without more instruction or quest markers at the start.

* NightmareRetardant: Going insane is supposed to be a horrifying experience and the results speak for themselves. The goofy pop-up alerting you to your new status [[BaitAndSwitch belies what you're actually in for]].
