I'd like to know how hard is Dead Money. I play on normal like always, never tried on higher difficulty. Currently i'm level 31, i've finished Honest Hearts and Old World Blues already.

I'm always worried to start new DLC, for an example i bought 120 stimpaks for Old World Blues and i was 27 level. And i only used like 10. Should i finish Lonesome road before Dead Money? I heard that dead money is like hardcoe mode, only food and melee weapons? Because my characters Melee weapon skill is 23 lol.

I have not played LR yet but everyone here says DO NOT PLAY LR until you have finished OWB and DM.

DM is a different style of play. It is linear but you will be reracing steps through areas in order to do the quests. Once you have played the first hour or so, you will have gotten a good handle onhow thigs go and it becomes, not easier, but not so surprsing and frustrating.

I am about to dive into DM myself.

Dead Money can be very annoying, and people either Love or Hate it with no middle ground. Get used to making lots of Saves.
I am one of those who enjoy Dead Money. I have just been playing the start of the DLC before I ended up here myself.

It's not really that hard, unless you play it on hardcoe mode where the environment is constantly sapping your health down. If you have good expertise in either melee/unarmed, guns, or energy weapons, you can make good use of the limited weapons available in DM (you can't bring anything with you into that DLC). Just be conservative of ammo, get as close in as you can to your targets, and use VATS. Open sights and slinging shots all over the place is great when you can run to the store and stock up on ammo again- you can't do that in DM. The most annoying thing to me was the traps- they're all over the place and devilishly concealed in all the spots deliberately engineered to make you miss them or run over them without noticing. I truly detest the devs who were responsible for planting them in DM That DLC is the one part of New Vegas that actually drove me to choosing the http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Light_Step perk on my last char!

Thanks for the replies, the next big question is, am i able to beat it with only 21 Melee weapons plus 15 unarmed?
