I like these homages to Fallout 2. Unfortunately the gauss rifle was totally screwed before Obsidian had their chance on it.

i gotta say Lonesome Road was a huge letdown, it was like a 2 hour trek through a boring wasteland to get to the final battle where i completely owned Ulysses. Meh, some of the armor is nice. I also just started my final final playthrough of New vegas with the release of the last couple of dlcs today. No mistakes this time.

What really frustrates me about the Fallout DLC is that Bethesda seems dead-set on presenting the addons as small little campaigns that you can never return to. You go to the new locations, are forced to stay there until you beat it (for completely contrived reasons), and then are forced to leave forever. That's why I loved Broken Steel so much, because all of the content that it adds to the game is within the original game world itself and you get to interact with it at any time. I really don't see why that can't make more DLC in that fashion. Something like Shivering Isles, where a sizeable portion of new land is added, but you're free to come and go as you please.

You can return to the vast majority of the Fallout DLC's.

Huh? I thought you were permanently locked out of Operation Anchorage, The Pitt and Mothership Zeta upon beating them. You certainly can't leave them once you enter, so I assumed that's how it worked. You can't leave Old World Blues, either.

Obsidian made NV and is in charge of its DLC, not Bethesda.

Right, but the DLC style is identical between games. "Oh look, a radio signal on my pip boy. I should go check that out. Oh, I guess my companions can't come with me. And I can't leave during the quest! And oh joy all my equipment gets taken". The Gun Runners DLC is the only one that deviates from that by adding additional content to the actual Vegas game world.

Your equipment doesn't get taken away in HH, OWB, and LR.

Wat.

hah. Wild Wasteland is a fun perk.

So, do any of the DLCs let you continue beyond the ending like Broken Steel did for Fallout 3?

Sadly, no. FNV will not get a similiar DLC like Broken Steel.

Broken Steel felt like a patch for alot of things, as some bugs were ironed out in it, some characters did more damage with it etc. the actual fight sequence part of it wasn't that great but raising the level cap was great but just for the other DLC that came out. They got rid of that by splitting what would be the Broken Steel for NV by raising the level cap each DLC.

Wow, that's a load of shit. It should have let you continue beyond the ending in the first place. The same goes for Fallout 3. You shouldn't have had to download anything to keep playing afterward.

Because playing up to just before the last battle and saving isn't the exact same thing.

It isn't.

I've finished Hardcore mode and it really isn't that "hardcore".

The current generation cannot handle anything difficult. Hardcore should be called normal, and normal should be called sissy. And quick travel should be removed.

Anybody still playing? Recently bought this for my girlfriend and I must say I'm having a good time with it, we both are.
I never got into Fallout 3, but I am considering buying it next pay cheque strictly because of how much I'm enjoying New Vegas.

I just finished helping the deputy out in the Hotel, and now I'm not too sure what I want to do. I'm going to focus on increasing my science skill right now so I can show that damn robot that the machine gun is missing. As far as anything else goes though, I'm not quite sure where I want to go questing next. I have all of the DLC quests in my log, but don't think I'm a high enough level yet for them.

Please do not rush to get to the strip like I did. You may be disappointed.

I'm not rushing anything, I never do in open world games. I try to do as much as possible before doing main story stuff, etc.

If you got the DLC "Dead Money" is the worst imho best is "Old World Blues" But be a fairly high level before doing either.

I dunno after the hotel I usually go pick up my follower Cass (has the most to say) in the Mojave Outpost.

I have just met Cass before quitting my game for the night, or time being anyway. I did a lot of exploring today instead of questing. I invaded the correctional facility, decided to go against the Powder Gang, but I think in my next playthrough I will work with them, I want to see what kind of quests I can get from Eddie.
