>ALWAYS TAKE DAMAGE OUTSIDE

>>320433910
Don't forget the invincible holograms that fucking one hit you when spotted
Don't forget the horrible slave collar/radio bullshit
Also forced stealth and unfun 'INSTANT DEATH SPEAKERS LOLOL'
I love NV, but this dlc is bleh
>>320433910
I'm not even good at videogames and it's my favorite expansion. It's not even fucking hard on Hardcore mode, stop being a baby and just think before you make descisions. As soon as you faggots encounter an area where you can't just lay on the trigger all the way through, you bitch and moan. It's an RPG, you have many options on how to deal with the hostile environment of the Sierra Madre.
You want to bitch, bitch about the spawn rates in Old World Blues, or the lack of a way to repair your limbs in Honest Hearts. As far as bullshit goes, Dead Money only has obvious, intentional bullshit that you can deal with. The other DLC's have worse problems, and none of them are exactly hard.
It's good.
>>320434541
defend
>>320434098
>>320433910
You can try this, believe me, I have, but there is no way to convince Dead Money autists that this is in fact complete garbage. In fact most of the DLC is garbage, Honest Hearts being the exception in my opinion.
I was seething that I had found myself in an unskippable le unexplained zombies section. Boring characters, death clouds, completely linear, no fun allowed. Rest assured I "let go" of any semblance of respect for whomever came up with this shit.
>>320433910
I hadfun.
this DLC is easy, I don't get why people always bitch about it
it's like people who bitch about dark souls being artificial difficulty, just don't be a retard and you will be fine
the story of this DLC is fucking good and worth experiencing even if you don't like the rest of it
>>320434835
Patience. Like I said, I'm shit at videogames, and none of the radios were hard to spot, and the holograms were actually pretty fun to get passed in the casino. Everything in that DLC can be overcome with just a small amount of patience.
>>320434909
>Honest Hearts being the exception
>The most bland uninspired DLC of the lot
Shit taste confirmed.
>>320434909
>boring characters
Opinion discarded
I loved the story and the characters were great but gamplay is fairly shit. It drastically favors a stealth play style and is way to linear. The map felt claustrophobic which is great for setting up atmosphere but when I feel like am being choked by the map the whole game through I couldn't help think I really want to be on the desert right now. Never got lost though, that's just you.

Still better than 4 .

>maze-like level design
there are a few bits with kooky ledge climbing and strategically-placed broken drywall (and everything looks the same, which does suck) but otherwise the area layouts are pretty straightforward
First time I did the dlc I was lucky.
Had stealth meele setup.
Also stole all the gold in the end and left santa in the vault.
Coud buy new vegas with all the gold.
GET GOOD.
>>320433910
New fag Detected
Get gud fagget
I love the dread you feel in the village, it's the only part of the game were you feel totally vulnerable with how you are limited in ammo and weapons.
Im upset that you can't go back to the Sierra Madre.. I miss that place so goddamn much..
The only problem i had was the radios since at times it was hard to spot but who the fuck actually picked a fight with holograms when the whole dlc was based on stealth?

Lol what, once you find Stimpak code you can just make stacks of them for chips, and chips are literally everywhere.
>>320434835
those hologram's take ages for them to actually aggro, you can destroy most of their emitters to get them to fuck off, and even if they are aggro'd you can quickly hide and they'll calm back down.
>>320438714
But I cant.. It isnt even about the gold, I fucking walked out with that shit in my pocket. Every time I go back to the BoS Bunker to cash in some chips for stuff, I hear that radio message down the hall and I wish I was back there fucking shit up.
>>320438652
there are mods for it
unpopular opinion: i had more fun in dead money than i did in any other part of any fallout game
>>320436592
Lonesome Road is pretty separate from the entire game.
I liked it. Never implied it was good or great, it plays like a table-top and considering most people who play fallout want lel explorsions and bullethoses I can see why most people dont like it.
It is tedious though.
>>320440917
>it plays like a table-top
it plays like a survival horror, System Shock 2 to be precise since Avellone has a huge boner for SS2 (hi Peragus)
just like SS2, it feels really hard and scarce in when you begin playing but quickly drowns you in resources
good atmosphere though (just like in ah you get it now)
>>320434541
>lack of a way to repair your limbs in Honest Hearts
Enemies dropped a ton of weapon binding rituals which repaired your limbs.
Hmmm, I'd recommend getting good at playing the game tbqh

Literal La-Mao, kid.
That whole DLC is a whopping 20 minutes long. The only redeemable quality is exploration, which was instantly outclassed by the succeeding DLC (OWB).
The only redeemable quality about Honest Hearts was the story of the Survivalist's Rifle.R.I.P.

Why was Old World Blues the most based out of all the DLC?
It hit the humor spot on and added some really kickass lore

The only reason I care for OA is because you get two of the most overpowered things in the game there.
A tank suit, and an invisible suit that basically says fuck any challenge.
Otherwise it's kinda dull, and almost makes me feel like I'm playing a really shoddy FPS.

hi teens!
>HH
Great change of scenery with has Joshua Graham,Ghost of She, and the Survivalist Rifle. Sadly the content is lacking and there isn't really any other outstanding characters in it.
>OWB
The best in terms of exploration and content. The humor may not be agreeable to mostlike meand parts of the main quest are ridiculous. (like convincing your own brain) but it is made up for in the amour of new places to explore, weapons, armor, fleshed out characters, and best player home.
>DM
Best in terms of atmosphere, story, and characters. It offers a brutal atmosphere with interesting characters and fun enemies. However the traps tend to offput people who simply don't take it slow and try to rush. Also certain builds are better then others in this.
>LR
Great atmosphere and has the best armor in the gamethe riot gear of course.. Ulesses maybe disappointing to some but overall the dlc is great at giving a sort of Mad Max feel and mowing down tunnelers with the nail gun is satisfying. Ede bros will probably love this for the love Ede gets in this.I did
>>320433910
I liked the damage outside.
Enemies are not that resistant, also destroy the corpes to prevent reanimation.
Limiting the stimpaks really makes the dlc better.
Heck, new vegas has amazing dlc, even if main game is shit.
>>320445658
I need to replay this game

>mfw rolling dead money with energy build
pew pew.
This shit is fucking garbage. I hated everything about it. The only good thing was that bunker full of loot at the end.
>>320447301
Point lookout was the most retarded dlc I have played.
Heard the first one was even worse.
>>320433910
the whole DLC revolves - thematically and mechanically - around greed being punished.
Are you surprised that you cannot carry 11,000 rounds of ammo and 5,000 stimpacks?
CUZ I'VE GOT HEARTACHE BY THE NUMBERS...
>>320447309
>>320447519
point lookout wasn't that great. It was really just a yardstick that Bethesda was using to determine the player's tolerance for spreading a very small amount of content over a vast expanse of in-game real estate. Turns out that a lot of you mongoloids prefer a geographically large map to a content-rich map.

>>320434909
>In fact most of the DLC is garbage
please leave
OWB is kinda shit all around in terms of gameplay. In terms of story it's ok, it's interesting to see how all the scientists lost themselves with the pass of time and it's great to find out how you can help them out in that regard. Mobius is great as well, and finding out bits of lore here and there is fun
But the gameplay is dogshit. All enemies are huge bullet sponges save for the lobotomites. People say you just need to level energy weapons, but that's bullshit too. What you need to do is acquire the pulse gun first because it's the only weapon in the entire place capable of killing anything in the Big MT. Try and take down the giant roboscorpion with any conventional weapon and see how you do
And then there's the insane enemy spawns, and the fucking quest at X-.8 that makes you literally do the same fucking thing FOUR times. And of course the level scaled nightstalkers
All things considered it's the weakest DLC. Acceptable writing, but completely horrid gameplay
>>320444931
Agreed on everything. F3 dlc other than lookout is trash and that one is just barely passable.
>>320434909
>Honest hears
>The best one
The only good parts were The Legate and the Survivalist
>>320446280
No. It's fiction. Fuck you.
>>320443495
>Lonesome Road not at the very bottom of the list
That DLC is way too Linear and boring to be good. Story was cool, but levels were lame. The story and the Elite Riot Gear are the only redeeming qualities about it.
I just finished Honest Hearts and honestly it was pretty boring.
>change of scenery is cool at first but gets old
>most exploration is either going through the same old caves or ranger stations
>Joshua Graham is great but Daniel is a little bitch
>companions were wasted potential, companion quests were a joke, literally a couple dialogue options each and they're done
>two dimensional villain
>the only choices you have are slaughter everyone (with an additional "IF YOU KILL HIM YOU'LL BE JUST LIKE HIM" option to make the choice less evil) or run away
>short as fuck
>Survivalist was pretty great though
Overall it just made me more sympathetic to Caesar. No wonder he united/destroyed so many tribes and wanted the New Canaanites dead, he probably got sick of them immediately.
>>320449875
Sorry, my mistake, ONE dimensional villain. You don't even get to talk to Salt-Upon-Wounds except at the very end and it's just to spare his life. You just have to take everyone's word for it that he was some big evil villain. "Everyone" being religious fundamentalists and tribals.
Do we not talk about Lonesome Road because people are even more butthurt about it being hard?
>>320450292
We don't talk about it because it was a straight fucking line with no interesting environments or gimmicks.
>>320448340
Are you kidding me? It had some of the most developed characters and the best writing I have seen out if all the DLCs. Big MT was immersive and had so much depth to it. I'll admit, gameplay was meh, but everything else absolutely blew all the other DLCs out of the water. Save for maybe LR
>>320448459
Did you even play The Pitt? Way better than PL.
Why does the gold have value at all in Fallout? What would anyone do with it? Only ghouls would really understand how valuable it was in prewar America. Everyone else would just see gold as a useless shiny metal. I guess you could make it into jewelry, but you could also just loot a jewelry store and come out with twice as many rings/necklaces.
>>320451067
Gold has consistently been valuable throughout human history despite having no practical value. People like shiny shit, post apocalyptic america is presumably no exception.

I was just thinking about replaying. Here goes!
>>320447190
Here's your pity (You) I guess
>>320445658
okay lets do this
There's plenty of stimpaks available at vendors. You just gotta pick up those casino chips that are scattered everywhere to buy them.
watching Northernlion lose his sanity during this was amazing to watch.
>>320433910
>enemies are bullet/damage sponges
They instantly die if you take off their limbs. I ran around 1-shotting them with an unarmed character using bear-trap crosspunches
If you don't abuse the game, it's the only remotely challenging thing to exist, so its still great
I enjoyed the villa. The slow damage wasn't an issue. I enjoyed poking around in amongst the nooks and crannies and clambering in amongst the mazelike roofs.
It was the experience I was hoping to get from the outskirts of vegas, but we all know how barren and boring that was.
>>320433910
> People legitmately believe this DLC is hard
Wait until you get raped by OWB Override Harnesses and LR's Marked Men
>>320453459
gold's only practical purpose has come about in the last century or so with computer technology, and it's required in such small amounts that it's barely worth anything in that regard.
>>320445658
Rollan
>>320454691
at least marked man are manageable, as long as you burst them down or keep them away from radiation;
however fast traveling and encountering 4 lobotomites and 3 override harnesses (high level) plus some scorpions its a death sentence

I went into the DLC with 100 EW as a lvl 40 courier and, motherfuck, almost every weapon was useless. The only thing I found that could kill them reliably was the unique gatling laser from GRA.

I liked it.

It's got like seven songs that don't play anywhere else in the game, and you can actually listen to it during DLC. That's what makes it great.

>>320433910
Maybe if you stop running around like a fucking retard you wouldn't constantly die.
I mean seriously, New Vegas isn't a very hard game, you have to be a fucking extreme casual to think this is any fucking hard. Seriously dude what the fuck.
for me it was LR > OWB > DM > HH, even though joshua graham is probably my favorite character from new vegas. i think DM can get quite tedious at times, but you just have to be patient and it really isn't that difficult. i agree that the atmosphere and the premise were amazing. cool characters too. the point were the bells start ringing and you have to go back to the fountain was pretty intense in my opinion 2bh. it wasn't my favorite dlc but it was probably the most immersive
>>320463702
No one said anything about dying. It's just a shitty experience to play through.
>>320463557
in the dlc youre forced to finish the missions not a lot of exploring and getting side tracked, outside of it you could go do something different whenever you started getting bored
>>320463879
damn you are right there, the only thing that maked me stay on the game was THE FUCKING THIRST OF REVENGE ON THAT FUCKING OLD SACK OF SHIT

I legit enjoyed that DLC a fair bit to be honest.
>>320463798

I think he means the ghost people.
It seriously wasn't that hard.
>>320433910
The difficulty comes from a unique place. It doesn't matter what level you are or how cheesy your build is, shit's tricky. On the other hand, I've done it as soon as I leave Goodprings, and didn't feel crippled by my level. The writing is good, the characters are interesting, and I like the atmosphere and theme. I can understand why people don't like it, but I think it's the most underrated DLC.
>>320445658
Yaaa omal
>>320466185
Thanks anon. Doing god's work.
>I honestly don't think the pony stuff is that bad.
Yeah, it's pretty great to be honest, and I haven't even watched the show.
>>320436165
I mean, it's a metaphor for all sorts of shit, but in Elijah's case, and also yours once the bomb is set, it's literally about the gold.
Honest Hearts>Dead Money>Point Lookout>Old World Blues>Lonesome Road>Broken Steel>Operation Anchorage>Gun Runners Arsenal>Literal Shit>Mothership Zeta
>>320433910
That's a casual filter. You can't pass it. You don't like it. Thus, you a casual.Fuck off.
>>320436165
I know anon, its some metaphorical shit. like letting go, I donk know, a boy/girl, a job, something that was really hard to get
I learned how to let go,to not be attached to someone or something. And it felt so good.
I feel free now
what are the optimal levels to start each DLC at?
And if you're just going to post "whatever level you like", don't bother
Dat 37 gold bars tho
>>320433910
It's the best dlc from NV OP, the fuck are you talking about?
>>320433910
You need to target the limbs like in Dead Space
>>320469236
I think it's more like "let go the ambitions, at the end it isn't worth it".
>>320469279
Honest Hearts should be both canonically and logistically the 1st one you do, HH is fine to do at literally any level.
Do Dead Money at about level 15-20
OWB at around 30, maybe a bit earlier
Lonesome Road should be at about 40.
Remember none of it is to do with difficulty it's just about not breaking the game with overpowered gear/perks
>>320433910
>enemies are bullet/damage sponges
Now your casual level is exposed. You are supposed to kill them by mutilating them, you fucktard. Hey, what if you point to the head to decapitate them?
Post results.Filthy casual.
>>320469236
Actually, according to Sawyer himself, one of the big themes of NV was learning to let go, while retaining things important to the past.
So while "Letting Go" doesn't refer to the gold specifically, it also doesn't refer to "Letting Go" of your old experiences. It refers to "Letting Go" of hatred, or anger, or jealousy, whatever.
Every companion in the game has a basic theme of Letting Go of the things that hold them down while holding onto what keeps them strong, especially Veronica and Cass.
Even Ulysses was planned as a companion that would learn to Let Go of his hatred and anger at the loss of the Divide, while maintaining the force of will to change the Wasteland that he found in the Courier.
>>320469569
Okay what's a good natural time in the game progression to do Honest Hearts then? Just whenever you reach Vegas for the first time?
>>320451067
Legion Denarii are made of gold.
X13 a cute. CUTE
>>320469694
Yes.
>>320469745
denarii are silver, aureus are gold
>>320469694
I usually do it after you get the chip, but you could do it before you even get past the gate into Vegas, especially if you (somehow) lack the funds or the motivation to get a passport
>>320445658
let's go
>>320445658
gonna roll for a build. I may or may not take it
>>320469781
NV isn't that bleak and depressing though. There's incredible growth and vivacity in the wake of a ruined world, and even though a lot of the factions and groups are losing sights of their goals in the new world politics, there's still a pervading sense of hope, at least in my eyes.
That said, I've read a lot of the intended/cut story content and such, so maybe I'm biased. Fallout 1 and 2 were WAY bleaker and pessimistic despite their goofy nature.
>>320451067
caps used to be backed by gold. Then the BoS blew up the NCR gold reserves and they went back to backing caps with water.
>>320451067
I thought that Energy Weapons used Gold as a conductor?
Also, the NCR dollar was backed by Gold before New Vegas as they were trying to emulate prewar America.
And Legion Aureus' are minted out of Gold
>>320470016
was NCR on gold standard or on fiat currency?
>>320470016
Shit, not caps. I think the NCR dollarydoos were the ones being backed. I'm dumb.
It's pretty bad to be honest,I went in with my lvl 30 melee character and really stopped having fun after I left Dog at some switches. Then you pick Christine or Dean and they just go and get killed immeadiatley by the Ghost People especially on Hardcore mode.all the DLC's are mediocre
>>320469828
Ah, so it is.
>>320470087
Yeah I was thinking of the NCR currency, and not caps. I don't think caps are backed by anything
>>320470000
Maybe you're right.
>>320470000
WITNESSED
>>320470097
Bottlecaps were originally water backed by the Hub Water Merchants until around Fallout 2, when the NCR expanded and overtook Hub. Then they switched to their Waterbacks. Over time, the NCR grew prosperous enough to have a Gold standard and Gold-minted coins, but then the Brotherhood destroyed their Gold reserves due to disagreements on the handling of technology and expansionism. That made the NCR dollar fall back on Water standard, which had devalued thanks to rising independent Caravans like the Crimson Caravan Company who reinstated backed Bottlecaps.
Presumably Gold reserves are one of the bargaining chips Caesar intends to use to force the NCR's hand into a favorable unification deal after the Battle of Hoover Dam.
>the horrible bugs it caused
In reality looking at the Dead Money art, we should of got some cool heist style gun slinger DLC.
Some shit like The Good The Bad and The Ugly, we'd be able to retain the aspect of the original story.
You know, side with the bad, split the cash, wild card and be like blondie in the movie.
Would of been much cooler.
>>320433910
>git gud

Everyone who shits on this DLC is a fucking scrub.I got my shit kicked in the first time playing it and still loved it. Learn to let it go faggots.
>>320470449
So are caps still backed by water then? Like, along with the NCR dollar?
>You will never be so casual that Dead Money is difficult for you
feels good
>>320470706
Caps are backed by the Crimson Caravan Company and presumably any corporate branches of it. Not sure what McLafferty says about what the backing exactly is; it could just be fiat or bond-based.
I highly doubt it's water backed, as NCR waterbacks are garbage economically and Obsidian seems to understand that drinkable water is not that fucking rare or hard to come by unlike Bethesda.
it's also entirely possible caps aren't strictly backed, but are so culturally common as barter currency that they've just floated by on that
>tfw wake up every day hoping for another Obsidian Fallout
Christ, it hurts.
>>320471231
bruh just play some New Vegas or Tale of Two Wastelandscan I just say how fucking in love with this game I am despite playing on console with all these terrible bugs? I FUCKING LOVE WALKING STRETCHES OF THE INTERSTATE, TAKING POTSHOTS AT GIANT ANTS BEFORE COMING TO SOME RUNDOWN MOTEL TO HANG OUT, TRADE, AND CATCH A NAP
So why does the stealth suit have the face of a moustached man on the chest?
>>320471332
Playing TTW made me really dislike FO3 more than I previously did. lining them both up to be played together was cool, but it brings out a lot of flaws in the 3.
>>320471363
tribal markings
>>320471363
The scientists were pretty out of touch with reality man.
>>320471332
NV is one of the few games I always keep installed. I hated 3 though. At least 4 isn't quite as bad.
>Waddling out of the vault with all that gold and trapping that old fuck with no stealth boy
Fuck letting go, gotta get that cash
>>320471516
Fallout 3 isn't all that terrible to me, it's just doesn't feel alive and real like NV does to me.
>>320471602
I made the mistake of playing it after NV. I grew up with Fallout 1 & 2 so I had a bit more hope for it, too. It does feel dead, and not in a good way. All Bethesda RPGs do though, honestly. They improve scripting game after game but still haven't nailed it yet.
>>320471594
This. After that shit DLC, I have a right to get all the gold.
>>320471602
It's "okey", which makes it pale in comparison to New Vegas. Thing about 3 is that I can't imagine how it's possible for anyone to play through it more than once. I played it once, had fun, but tried replaying it and once I left the world I realized just how ... empty it was. Fallout 3 is barren and feels dead. It's odd.
>>320471740
Yeah, to me, Bethesda games feel alive until the "illusion" is shattered. The illusion of depth, of anything mattering, that there is something beyond the surface value. No, once you go to Markarth and see those market stalls, you know they're pretty much just prop items. These NPCs don't do anyting. Sure, one of them reappears as a cannibal, but even then he doesn't do anything. He just sits there and gives you a one-liner.
It's empty, it's extremely shallow, but at least there's a lot of stuff to do I suppose. I'd rather have New Vegas, with a number of amazing content, than another Skyrim though.
Skyrim wasn't a bad game either, like 3. But, once you realize the utter wasted potential ... the lack of depth. Very hard to replay it.
>>320471594
Wouldn't gold be pretty much useless, though?
I feel like only certain people would see the value in it, people who knew that it could be used in electronics and shit like that.
But you can sell it to any dumb vendor for tons of caps.
>>320471740
It's not just the scripting - there's just no thought put into anything in the game. NV has really linear paths all over the place, but if you steer off the beaten path you run into these really meticulously designed areas with hand-placed enemy encounters and little vignette areas. Fuck, that cave on the hill below Mojave Outpost with like 6 Nightstalkers you'll never see if you stick to the road, or the Ant/Radscorpion colonies on either side of Ivanpah Dry Lake that fight each other, or even how if you avoid the direct route to Novac and head north from Searchlight you can entirely avoid the Viper raiding groups but have to deal with more dangerous wildlife. It's all so well designed and I love it.
Plus, the pacing is really fucking strong even if you don't go the way the game seems to be forcing you to. Like how the game gives you Stealth Boys BEFORE you even know you'll need Stealth at a place like Quarry Junction, whereas in FO3 your first Stealth Boys are rewards for going through an area where you can't sneak through on your own at low level.
Bethesda thinks that dungeon crawling makes a good RPG and nothing else matters.
>>320472113
Both NCR and Legion money is backed by gold, or in the case of NCR was until the BoS got butthurt.
>>320472113
You do realize Gold was heavily valued by Humans hundreds of thousands of years before electronics were invented, right?
Gold is a good currency standard because it's very difficult to fake, fairly difficult to obtain in mass quantities without some kind of large organization meaning the government can get in on it before anyone else, and is in fairly limited quantities.
>>320472113
>I feel like only certain people would see the value in it, people who knew that it could be used in electronics and shit like that.
I agree. Like, take the spanish conquistadors and the legend of El Dorado, for example. The only reason they were so enraptured by the idea of a city made of gold was because they wanted to upgrade their rigs to play the newest games.
>>320472119
I feel this. Reading your first paragraph really reminded me that's how Morrowind feels as well. A game that doesn't even have NPC schedules, yet the world feels so meticulously designed. I think a lot of it has to do with Bethesda's shift from focusing on the world surrounding the player to a player-centric experience.
>>320472113
Gold was pretty much always valuable to humans up to the earliest days of civilization
>>320472457
I think they're just not very good at game design
Fallout 1, 2 and NV all pretty much center around the Player Character being the star around which everything orbits. I mean, there are conflicts and problems set up beforehand, but things exist specifically for the player to resolve. And that's fine.
But Bethesda just puts no thought into how things should play out or make any amount of sense. Like in Diamond City, there's NO FUCKING REASON why anybody should give a shit about the Press. Shutting down the Press and making Piper shut the fuck up should have been the most immediate clear response to those events, especially after you see one paranoid fuck commit suicide by umpire in the streets over her articles.
But Bethesda put no thought into it other than "trope mean old mayor man" and "trope plucky adventurous girl news reporter copied from Lois Lane!"
Beth just stopped giving a shit in all honesty. It's not as obvious in Oblivion because lala magic fairies and all that, but they really didn't try there either.
>>320471415
Yeah, there's like no thought at all put into any of the quests or anything. Fucking christ, thinking about that fucking vampire quest makes my head spin
>>320472756
Agh fuck, don't remind me. The Vampires had so much potential, especially with all the crazy drug shit going on in Fallout and the Tribal communities. There'd probably be shitters crying about it, but a legitimate Vampire tribal community that's actually not Vampires and is being run by one crazy fucker would have been incredible.
NV did the exact same thing but a hundred times better with Come Fly With Me, right down to feeding their delusion and making them all die like idiots, and even handled the one guy who's too stupid to realize he isn't a Vampire/Ghoul plot thread way better.
>>320472979
Don't forget that the kid was with the 'vampires' because he murdered his parents and drank their blood, and that there is no option to administer justice.
Shit, if you attack them Arefu get pissed at you, despite all of them hating them
Yeah, enemies were easy in dead money.shoot or hack their limbs off. take a look around before just rushing for radios. Hell if you actually thought about what you were doing you faggots wouldn't of had such a hard time. But no you like your instant win cod level kiddie shit. Tldr; grow a fucking brain.
>>320471415
i know right, when i first played fo3 i was like "ok, this game is nice"
then i played through nv and decided to try fo3's dlc's but couldn't even bring myself to travel to the dlc locations. god the game sucked balls after new vegas
