When To Play Fallout New Vegas Dlc

Press Menu button on the New Vegas icon and choose Manage Game. The DLC can be installed from there. Keep in mind that after installing it, you will need to use the second disc instead of the first one or the DLC will not work. Windows 10: the registry eidtor cannot rename hidebasedonvelocityid. While doing this series of quests to get free, there are some things to watch out for. Also for this you should be at least level 20 or higher for this.

Fallout New Vegas DLCNow, you can still buy the DLC for the base game, or get them as part of a Game of The Year style package when you buy New Vegas. But what can you expect from the four-story expansions (not counting Gunrunners Arsenal and Courier’s Stash, the two DLC that are equipment only and don’t add new areas, characters or events)?1. Old World BluesOld World Blues is the token ‘wacky’ DLC, as Mothership Zeta was to Fallout 3. With a sci-fi theme and comedic voice acting, it is a fun experience that does include some challenging combat and some deeper stuff that adds to the main story. The real benefits from it, however, are the new perks it adds, and the fact it provides you with a really great base that has a lot of useful features in The Sink – a place you to by using a teleportation gun so can actually return to even when you are over-encumbered and can’t fast travel! You can play this DLC at any point in the main story (thought a 10-15 character level is advisable) and the things you will find out will make sense, so it can be a good option to play first out of the four.

Dead MoneyIf Old World Blues is about comedy, then. A stressful survival horror story set in a location you cannot return to after you have completed the DLC, it is interesting and exciting but definitely an intense experience. It is best to play this DLC after you have met Veronica from the Brotherhood of Steel, as someone from her past features prominently in the story. It can also be a good idea to play Old World Blues first, as some clues link the two stories.3. Honest Heartsis unique as a DLC in New Vegas in that you do actually get to take some of your stuff with you – with a reduced weight limit and a two week travel time. It takes you to a new location in Utah which is beautiful to look at and gets you involved in deciding on the outcome of a war between tribes.

It is a nice place to visit, and you can return after the end of the DLC story, however, it is best to do this DLC after you have spent some time with the Legion, otherwise, you won’t really understand about the main character you’ll meet. This is also the only part of New Vegas where the weather was introduced and it can be oddly satisfying to see rain – especially if you have already played Fallout 4 which has weather implemented throughout. Lonesome RoadLonesome Road – the last New Vegas DLC released, which you can find out more about here at – really gives you a lot of backstory to your player character, and is best played last of the DLC and close to the end of the main quest, so you have already got an understanding of who the courier you play is.

It is also better to play this DLC when you have chosen an allegiance, as things will shape up very differently for a Legion or NCR allied courier, or an independent one.All of these DLCs are well worth playing and add more to an already fantastic game, so if you’re a Fallout fan, give them a play!

Hi all,I played FNV when it first came out and enjoyed it, bugs and all. Except for Lonesome Road which definitely should be played last, the rest can be played in pretty much any order as the they all provide story pieces on and foreshadowing towards the events of Lonesome road.Though I would say if it's your first time playing the dlc I'd suggest playing Dead Money before Old World Blues mainly because some story elements cross over those two dlcs and in my opinion these elements make more sense if Dead Money is played before Old World Blues.Yeah, this. Though I don't think it would matter much if you did Honest Hearts after Lonesome Road. There's one very vague reference to the villain of Lonesome Road there, otherwise Honest Hearts is practically completely independent. Though it was the weakest imo, so personally I try not to end with it.

There isn't a major difference, but I do think there is a good order for it. Namely Honest Hearts, Dead Money, Old World Blues and then Lonesome Road.The reason is because Honest Hearts seems like the most likely to start with due to the premise being a simple caravan job. It's the kind of thing you are likely to do when short on money, and generally speaking, money isn't a problem for people later in the game.Dead Money is next because it makes a reference to Old World Blues, and it seems like it works better with the place being hinted at before you have actually been there. Especially as it is mentioned almost like a rumour, and the main antagonist of Dead Money was in OWB's location, as well as another character.Then Old World Blues, as it slowly pieces the story together. It is like a revelation of what was hinted at in DM, and it also has a bit of foreshadowing for Lonesome Road.Lonesome Road feels like the finale out of all of them, as the stories of the ones before do seem to lead up to it.

Even the way the quest starts feels like it's the end in a manner of speaking.You can quite happily play them in any order, and you won't find them ruined by doing it another way, but I feel the above gives the best experience personally. Thank you all for the insight. I really appreciate it. Looks like release order it is!

Which makes sense anyhow.BTW, did anyone else get the Gun Runner Pack? I'm finding that it really messes up game balance in the early game having access to fully repaired top tier weapons and mods. It's not a huge gripe because I, y'know, can just not buy them. It was just a little shocking that a DLC pack would give you such an easy button outside of a custom mod. Alternately, it will allow me to turn the difficulty to it's highest setting for when I start over for a Hardcore run (I never did it when I played the launch version) and mitigate the combat challenge while keeping the other aspects of Hardcore intact. Thank you all for the insight.

Literally as you wake up in Doc Mitchell's office, you get a pop-up telling you each one has been installed. It's a bit of an immersion breaker, not that New Vegas was ever particularly good at that.Regarding DLC order, order of release works best: Dead Money, Honest Hearts, Old World Blues, Lonesome Road. Possibly reverse the first two if you like, since Dead Money is a bit more challenging than Honest Hearts. Plus, you'd pretty much be playing them all in order of quality that way(though OWB is better than LR in certain respects). Thank you all for the insight.

I'm a such a thief in the Fallout games that I'll usually end up with all of a vendor's caps by selling him his neighbor's and his own possessions. By the time I was done with Goodsprings (after the powder ganger fight) I had managed to sell enough loot to purchase the GR Laser Pistol and the damage upgrade for it with a few caps in my pocket to spare, which then led to Primm being too easy as my weapon was too good for my level. Granted, I'm really anal about making sure I've cleaned out an area so I might not be having a typical experience. I'd recommend you do.1) Enemies and loot level, so playing the last DLC first will give you really hard enemies.2) In each DLC there are references to previous DLCs and future ones, so if you play one of them last it could refer to something you've already done, being in the future for your character and screwing things up.3) The first DLC, Dead Money, really sucks so playing it first will make all other DLCs seem awesome in comparison. Lonesome Road is the natural conclusion to the DLCs, as you can look at them as a spin-off series to the main game.

HH and OWB can be playing in any order I think. Good advice so far here. Honest Hearts - Dead Money - Old World Blues - Lonesome Road is the order I would recommend, for reasons already discussed (and also because playing through Honest Hearts gives you easy access to the best limb healing item in the game, screw toting around doctor's bags or getting addicted to hydra. Healing poultices are the way to go). Try to finish all of the DLC before you hit level 40. That's the level where they scale ridiculously (or choose the Logan's Loophole trait on character creation, maxing at level 30 keeps everything reasonable).Also, for your hardcore playthrough, might I recommend or (both of which require )? There isn't a major difference, but I do think there is a good order for it.

Namely Honest Hearts, Dead Money, Old World Blues and then Lonesome Road.That was the order I played them in, and overall I think it worked out great both in story and in difficulty terms. While Lonesome road is obviously supposed to be the finale and there are a bunch of hints in the other DLCs leading up to it, if you do play LR first then those foreshadowing bits become nice little continuity nods instead. Same for the events of the other DLCs, though LR is the most obvious example. But as they are ultimately self-contained stories, again it's very flexible.But whatever you do, I wouldn't play OWB first; it's probably the hardest overall, with LR being second.3) The first DLC, Dead Money, really sucks so playing it first will make all other DLCs seem awesome in comparison.I must emphatically disagree with you on that. Sure the gameplay was annoying, but the story in Dead money was, IMO, by far the best not only out of the DLCs, but one of the best storylines in the game as a whole.

Actually, I won't stop there; it's one of my favorite game stories, period. With that in mind, I was disappointed that Lonesome Road in particular. It was even more story driven, but didn't live up to Dead Money's promise. I'd actually say that Honest Hearts is a good thing to play first to lower your expectations storywise; it's writing is pretty standard and low key.Edit: Misquote fixed. Just for the record, I strongly disagree with the Dead Money hatred. I thought it was by far the most engaging offering. Easily has the best plot and characters.

The companions in the DLC were phenomenal.Indeed. I went into it with low expectations and left it deeply impressed. It was a very pleasant surprise. The best part was that I actually felt my character's personality and attitude changing, on their own accord, as a result of the events of the story. It just flowed so naturally from the writing, in a way I've never really seen ( or felt, rather) in an RPG before.I would actually love to see a game (fallout or otherwise) that has a ton of content like any open world game, but rather then being spread out it would instead be parsed into episodes, albiet large 5-6 hour ones, that each have distinct (though linked) stories, characters, settings, gameplay quirks and atmospheres. Hi all,I played FNV when it first came out and enjoyed it, bugs and all. I'd say Honest Hearts first, personally I hated that DLC.

The only good thing I liked about it was the fucking BEAR PAW weapon I got. But other wise it's just basically a bunch of tribes fighting. It really has terrible loot, especially for later game players. No to mention that I accidentally shot one guy running at me, you know, cause I was being attacked by 12 guys and thought he was with them. Then the entire canyon hated me and the only quest I had was to steal a map and then leave.

I ended up slaughtering EVERYTHING in the canyon and then just leaving. Very confused.Anyway, next I'd say Old World Blues.

Simple, keep the best 'till last, and believe me, you'll need ALL of the levels in Dead Money. Just make sure to get the best weapons possible for Old World Blues, the enemies are bullet sponges. And the dog machine gun.

My god, that gun was the best thing that ever happened to me.Next would be Dead Money, I think my favourite DLC. It is pretty much a draw with Lonesome Road though. Anyway, Dead Money is honestly the best DLC for a game I think I have ever found. It takes the game back to it's roots. You have to survive in a very hostile environment, and believe me, it is one of the most atmospheric and fun DLCs. Also, pants shitting terrifying.And lastly, Lonesome Road.

You could not hope for a more epic ending DLC. It really is a great ending to everything, as it wraps up all of your past and lingering plotlines.But make sure to make the right choice. Hi all,I played FNV when it first came out and enjoyed it, bugs and all. There are a few hints to where the 'other courier' was going.

But the DLCs concentrate mostly on themselves; when you're playing dead money, you're playing dead money and do very little of uncovering the backstory of your character.If you play all the DLCs, you'll get the whole picture and even if you don't, you can fill in most blanks yourself. Actually, for the sake of the overall atmosphere it would be good if you skipped dead money and maybe even honest hearts.Some of the stuff that happens doesn't make all that much sense and may catapult you out of the experience.' Old world blues' has one mention that after the situation in this dlc is sorted out, the courier has only one more road to travel, which refers to the last bit of DLC.But nothing will happen if you play another DLC first. Indeed, the order in which to play matters very little, you get a radio broadcast and a quest in which to investigate what's up with that broadcast. Two of those broadcasts are automated, only the honest hearts broadcast has someone calling you to him and they are ready to go. So i'd play that first.Gameplay wise it doesn't matter, they will wait for all eternity like the automated broadcasts.

Hi all,I played FNV when it first came out and enjoyed it, bugs and all. Dead Money Old World Blues Lonesome Road Honest Hearts, if you get around to it. This is how you are supposed to learn about Ulysses.Alternately:Old World Blues Dead Money Lonesome Road Honest Hearts. This path follows Ulysses, and doing OWB first can make some of the events in Dead Money make more sense.Don't listen to people who say the order doesn't matter because it most definitely does. The order you play them in can shape your perspective and understanding of events that occur throughout the DLCs. I'd say Honest Hearts first, I accidentally shot one guy running at me, you know, cause I was being attacked by 12 guys and thought he was with them.

Then the entire canyon hated me and the only quest I had was to steal a map and then leave. I ended up slaughtering EVERYTHING in the canyon and then just leaving. Very confused.^ThisBe very careful who you shoot in the first 5 minutes of Honest Hearts. I spent a couple of confusing, frustrating hours exploring a canyon in which everyone hated me, then left.

DLC completed.Also if you have a mod that turns off hp gains from food, turn that off when going into Dead Money.These are the lessons I learned the hard way. Also, Old World blues is my favorite official DLC ever. Semi off-topic but this is the newest New Vegas thread so.Has anybody checked out Project Brazil yet?

New Vegas Dlc Level

It's basically like a fan-made standalone DLC. It tells an entirely new story. Fully voiced, huge new map, new radio stations, plenty of sidequests (up to what I've played at least). I basically just got past the prologue, or one of the two anyway, and I'm impressed so far.Link:It's a fantastic mod, quite possibly the best quest mod I've ever played. Can't wait to see what they do with the rest of the outside area, had a quick wander around it and it's gigantic.If you have a PC and New Vegas you need to try Project Brazil.
