Im desiding whether or not to Buy the DLC for FONV because from what iv read it dosent seem worth it because some locations you cant return to once youve beaten it and you cant get al the legendary wepons in others and there still isnt a DLC to continue the main storyline (thats my main issue) so i want the opion of the people -Is it worht geting the DLC-

Get the new DLC. If you already have honest hearts and Old world blues (i didnt care much for dead money) youll know the fallout DLC is AMAZING. Get them all cuz theyre really good

They are worth getting if you enjoyed the base game, the reviewers scored them low from an impartial standpoint. Fallout fans will love these add ons. It is true that you can't travel back to the Sierra Madre after completion of Dead Money, so you may want to use the Vault to be able to find everything in the first go; the bobblehead is extremely hard to find. I even missed it in 2/3 playthroughs. I don't know what you mean by "legendary weapons", but you should be able to get all of the unique weapons if you look hard enough. Though in OWB, there is a 75 Guns skill check that gives you a weapon called the K9000. If you look around Big MT you can find another and I suggest that you do NOT use it to repair the other, you'll thank me later. Also, a DLC that would extend past the ending (which is aptly named) wouldn't be feasible because of the sheer plethora of endings. And we don't want another Broken Steel, do we? :wink_smile:


P.S. You misspelled "deciding". :P

Yeah it's worth it, Dead Money is the only one you can't return to, as for getting all the "legendary weapons" where did you hear this? It's very easy to get all of the uniques in all the DLC.

There's not going to be a DLC that extends past the ending, and there's no such as Legendary Weapons, just Unique weapons, some which aren't all unique.

So your whole basis for wanting a game extending dlc is because you want a couple of uniques? My advice, get FNV for pc, then you can spawn the items. There wont be a DLC that continues past the game's ending.

I agree, if you really enjoyed the base game and are a huge fallout fan, then the DLCs are amazing. If you don't like dialog and listening to characters talk, then the DLCs are not for you.

Dead Money and Old World Blues are really good. You can't return to Dead Money but they let you know that before you leave.

Honest Hearts is okay, it failed in its message and the ending kinda svcked, but Old World Blues (which you can return to) and Dead Money are pretty good dlc.

Fixed it... ;)

With respect to the OP, I loved all of the DLCs. My synopsis of the DLCs without spoiling them are: HH is easiest of the DLCs, looks good, is a good place to hunt and gather for crafting, and arguably has the best gear in comparison to the other DLCs; OWB has the best humor and the best "home base" that can be used after the DLC quest is over giving it the best "long term" value; DM is easily the most challenging of all the DLCs, so if you are looking for one that's the one to buy. IMHO if you are a fan of FONV, you should get all 3...

You don't seem to understand what it is like to collect things. Cheating is... well cheating.

However OP if you have waited this long on the DLCs then I suggest waiting longer till you can get all four in one bunch on the cheap. They are worth it, and the collector in my loved Honest Hearts (I tend to collect helmets, and hats).

Actually I do, being a completionist myself. Also; IMO it's not cheating if you already beat the game umpteen times and actually deserve the items. ;)
