I just got ultimate edition and I am playing OWB and DM for the first time because my Xbox is really weird about some of the DLCs. I was gonna do Dead Money and get all the Gold Bars so I could get the Medicine Stick ( which looks awesome) and Bozar, because I think I could do some major damage, but I can barely afford to buy just one of those because I cleaned out the Tops. I just want to know what stats do I need to have for DM. Thanks.

Most of the skill checks are the run of the mill basic stuff. Speech, perception etc. I can't remember the exact number but you might want to have one of these skills at 75: sneak, lockpick, explosives, speech, science, I can't remember if any barter checks come up. So yeah if one of those skills that I mentioned is really high then you are most likely set to go on assplorin' the sierra madre.
