Is every DLC worth it?

Post » Mon Oct 03, 2011 7:27 am

So far, I only got OWB and I loved every single detail of it. Are the other DLCs worth my money?
Lonesome Road is scheduled for my next week's M$ points spending. But how about HH and DM?

Yes, all of the DLC for New Vegas are definitely worth the money. Infact OWB was one of my least favorite out out of all of them, and each DLC has it's own unique qualities that seperate it from the others. I would suggest playing LR last though, because every other DLC forshadows LR.

Before the haters get here........... (I'll just say, yes they're worth it off the bat)

Dead Money is not like the rest of the game, it's a survival horror, kinda like Resident Evil (which is why I liked it I guess). Be prepared to die, a lot. Even on my second playthrough I still died a handful of times.The payoff for me is the Holorifle. With all three mods (and 50 Energy Weapons skill level) it's awesome. With 100 EW you're a walking death machine. Also the Assasin's suit (well you did OWB so you have the Stealth Suit Mk 2) is pretty nice and it doesn't keep talking to you..... :wink_smile:

Honest Hearts, my least favorite of the bunch but the story of Zion is pretty good, plus The Survivalist's story was pretty compelling. And if you want to meet "The Burned Man", well there's that too. He's an interesting character as well.

Lonesome Road (I haven't gotten it yet) ties in all the DLC's. There are references in the first 3 DLC's that lead up to LR. I would recommend doing them before you get to LR.

OWB was my fave so far, though I haven't played LR all the way through yet I have to say that DM and HH are great in different ways, and if you are a fan of FONV, it's worth getting all available content, including the Gun Runner's Arsenal, and even the Courier's Stash... :thumbsup:

Don't get Lonesome Road next, and get all. Lonesome Road is best for last. If you're dying for Lonesome Road, at LEAST get Dead Money first, then you'll want Lonesome Road.

They're all worth it in their own way. Dead Money is just an intense survival-horror with puzzle-solving and a really nice story, Honest Hearts you WILL hate the first time you do it because it seems disappointing (and it has one of those endings where you feel you screwed up no matter what you choose), but it's fun to repeat in future playthroughs. Dead Money, the first playthrough is amazing, but after that you'll find yourself rushing through and skipping dialog because it's like trying to read the same book twice: you've seen it all before.

But yeah, they're all top-notch quality. Each is unique in it's own way, too, so don't expect the gameplay and weapon style of one DLC to work in the next. Be ready to adapt to each, but that adds to the fun of the challenge.
