Aba Daba Honeymoon New Vegas


Aba Daba Honeymoon New Vegas

Okay, let's talk about New Vegas quests. We all have our favorites. And we all have those quests that make us groan.

Today, I'm diving headfirst into controversial territory. I'm talking about...Aba Daba Honeymoon.

Is it just me, or...?

Don't get me wrong. I love New Vegas. I've sunk hundreds of hours into that game.

But Aba Daba Honeymoon? It's just... not my cup of tea. Maybe it's a mojave sunrise I'd rather miss.

Here's the thing: Cazadors. Enough said, right?

Cazadores: The Bane of My Existence

Look, I'm not afraid of a challenge. Deathclaws? Bring 'em on. Super mutants? No problem.

But Cazadores? Those things are just plain evil. They move fast. They sting hard. And they poison you!

Seriously, who thought those were a good idea? It feels like a cruel prank by the developers.

The Great Khans... Meh

The whole quest revolves around helping the Great Khans. And let's be honest, are they the most compelling faction?

I mean, they're okay, I guess. But they're no Caesar's Legion or NCR. I just don't feel that invested.

They are just a stepping stone for my character's larger aspirations of world domination. Or at least, getting a better apartment in Novac.

The Fetch Quest Blues

Let's face it: Aba Daba Honeymoon is essentially a fetch quest. Go here, grab that. Bring it back.

Fetch quests are the bread and butter of RPGs, true. But this one feels especially tedious.

Running around the Mojave Wasteland, dodging Cazadores, just to deliver some stuff? It's a bit underwhelming.

And the reward...?

After all that effort, what do you get? Some experience points and a slightly better relationship with the Great Khans?

It's hardly worth the trauma of facing those Cazadores again. I'd rather spend the time gambling at the Atomic Wrangler.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I just don't see the appeal. Give me Come Fly With Me any day.

Unpopular Opinion Time

I know, I know. Some of you probably love this quest. You enjoy the challenge. You appreciate the Khan lore.

That's totally fine! We can agree to disagree. Different strokes for different folks, and all that.

But for me, Aba Daba Honeymoon is a quest I actively avoid on every playthrough. There are always better things to do.

Alternatives, anyone?

I'd rather be helping Raul find his old ghoul buddies. Or uncovering the secrets of Vault 11. Or just wandering around, discovering new locations.

New Vegas is full of amazing quests. Quests with interesting characters, compelling storylines, and satisfying rewards.

Why waste time on a quest that's mostly just annoying? The radioactive gecko steaks are more appealing.

Am I alone in this?

So, tell me: am I the only one who feels this way? Is Aba Daba Honeymoon secretly the worst quest in New Vegas?

Or am I just being a grumpy old gamer? Let me know in the comments!

Maybe you can convince me to give it another try. Maybe you can show me the hidden brilliance I'm missing. But I doubt it.

Final Thoughts (and a plea)

Next time you play New Vegas, skip Aba Daba Honeymoon. Trust me, you won't regret it.

Go do something fun instead. Like exploring the depths of Black Mountain. Or helping a lonely robot find love.

Just please, spare yourself the Cazadores. You'll thank me later. And maybe, just maybe, the Mojave will thank you too. The end.
