I'm currently at L27 and have only completed the 1st part of the NV main quests. I'm concentrating on the side-quests atm and haven't started any of the Part 2 'House' quests. Thinking of 'Dead Money' as a little diversion.
I've heard that when you start 'Dead Money', you lose most of your weapons and items (gear) as well as your Companions.
My questions are these:
1) - If you start 'Dead Money' and finish it, can you go back to where you left-off in NV?
2) - If so, before starting 'Dead Money', can you store your gear in a Safe-house or whatever so that it's there when you return?
3) - If you can store gear, what gear should you take to 'Dead Money'?
4) - Can you 'part ways' with whatever Companion/s you are with and pick them up again once back in NV? Example; give Rex back to the King and get him back afterwards.
5) - Do you get to keep all of the 'loot' you acquire from 'Dead Money' if you, in fact can take-up where you left-off in NV?
Thanks in advance for the quality of your responses.
