Fallout: New Vegas

[The Ginger Dude]

Won't have the time to play this anytime soon, A.C Brotherhood, and replaying all the final fantasy games(excluding 11,12,13 they never happened, square enix is just a garbage bin of a company), will keep me company until G.R.F.S and Portal 2, and Old Republic.

12 is ok and 13 is underrated. I'm guessing you didn't like them since they didn't follow the same basic formula that 1-9 used?  

[The Ginger Dude]

Just dissapointed, the music i praise they were good, and 13 had a sazh, because one, he's black, and two, he has a fro and has a baby chocobo that lives in his fro. But that's pretty much it

Can I expect a nitnit review of Dead Money from nitnit possibly around Januaury?  

[nitnit]

Perhaps..!

What I really wonder is how they're going to raise the level cap by 5 without allowing level 35 characters to be ridiculously overpowered...

I can't really value your opinion if you haven't even gotten all of the achievements yet. Not directed at anyone in particular(MetaShodan).

They're raising the level cap in Dead Money? I hadn't heard about that, now I'm a bit more excited. I hope there are more new weapons than just that bear trap fist thing.  

[nitnit]

Ominous - I have all the achievements.

Horatio - There are a fair number of new weapons. Nothing quite as overpowered as what was in the FO3 DLCs though.

What I can say is... Dead Money is overall the hardest thing in all of FO3/FONV. Not because of the enemies really, but because of the environment - it makes for some really cool stressful moments, but at some points it's more frustrating than anything. This was the reviewers' biggest issue, but if you like challenge in your game, and are fine with actually reading computer terminals to get the backstory - Dead Money is leagues better than any of the FO3 DLCs.

(IMO Dead Money >>> The Pitt > Point Lookout > Broken Steel >>> Operation Anchorage >> Mothership Zeta)

At the end of the day though, I don't regret buying it. It had good writing, interesting characters, and a story that has a few interesting moral concepts. All in all it was pretty well thought out - since the area is supposed to be "prewar" there are no caps or anything. This is very apparent when you trade with the hologram vendors who have 0 caps (you have 0 caps too) and the only currency they can give you is pre-war money.

The level cap is raised to 35, and a few new perks were added - none of them appealed to me though (you can find a list online).

Some reviews say they only gained a couple levels from dead money... I went into dead money at level 30, and emerged at level 35. I am a bit of a scrounger/explorer, but honestly my biggest disappointment was that all 5 of the extra levels were earned within the DLC, lol.

Yeah, I got it Christmas day, and I like the new weapons. I can't wait to get back all my .308 rounds so I can really let loose with that Automatic Rifle lol.

I'm not even done with it, and all I can say is that I really hope all future DLC for New Vegas is like Dead Money, and then I won't mind forking over so much money.
