I'm confused...

I don't understand why everyone is so excited for gun runner's arsenal and the other dlc to come out...

We're getting new weapons to kill molerats in the mojave... That is, if we choose to pay for gun runner's arsenal (which I will not)... And that's it? What is so special about a few new weapons?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to hate on the designers. I'm just confused about why this seemingly useless (useless for me, because I won't be paying real money in order to make a "fat mine") dlc is the cause of so much anticipation.

I just don't feel that $10 worth of new weapons will in any way make the game better. And I've already beaten the dlc's and the game on several characters, so starting the game over again with new weapons doesn't seem very appetizing either.

Can anyone clarify why they give a [censored] about gun runner's arsenal? Because from my point of view, it seems like a ploy to get money out of a game that has nothing more to offer after the release of lonesome road.

I wouldn't call it a ploy to get money, Obsidian is putting a lot of effort into this pack and it adds more than most item pack DLCs for other games do for roughly the same price.

If you don't want it then don't buy it, I don't plan on buying it because New Vegas already has plenty of weapons that I don't use, I don't need more.

I'm sure the designers had the best intentions with this dlc, but I just don't see any real monetary value in an add-on with no new content for a game that most people beat a year ago.

It seems like the only people jumping on the bandwagon are extreme fallout fans (I say extreme because I'm a regular fallout fan that has played all of the games, and loves them but has no wish to buy this dlc), or people with pockets deep enough to throw away $10 on virtual weapons.

I would love to hear the point of view of those of y'all who WILL be buying gun runner's arsenal because I am very curious as to why.

Gun Runners Arsenal is only going to be $3.99 I believe, it's not going to be that expensive.
