>try to make a treasure of the sierra madre homage>people completely ignore the message and glitch/cheat their way into taking all the goldwhy are Fallout players like this?
i think people were just pissed after going through the dlc and stole everything as a fuck you
>>720158286Because they gave players the option to steal a fuck ton of gold. of course they're going to
I get walking out of there with the money if you're able, but cheating doesn't make sense. You might as well just give yourself one million caps.
>messageliterally half the intended true ending is "buy the bear and bull dlc coming 2011"fuck that. everybody dies. I'm keeping all the gold, every BAR, every suit of armor, and veronica's shitty bugged perk and stuffing it in a duffle bag marked as non-respawning that still causes some items to disappear randomly if you leave them too long
>>720158286Not forcing your narrative moral point is good, actually. You deliver it and let players think for themselves. Some will accept it wholeheartedly and leave the gold behind, or take a single bar as "proof" of their tribulations. Some will miss the point and want to take the whole thing. And some will understand what you're trying to do, but still game the system to "one-up" the game in their minds. They're all valid expressions of player freedom.Wanting to force your view because you think you're right and people need to be taught at gunpoint is how you get things like the TLoU2 ending.
>>720158286Another retard filtered by the best Fallout DLC.
>>720158286less than .1% of players glitched the gold out of the casino
>>720158286I don’t glitch the money out. I just do player.additem 000000f 1000000 in front of the gunrunners kiosk
>>720158286>tfw love Dead Money and Lonesome Road>internet hates themI thought HH and OWB was whatever. The former I liked a bit more though, because Randall fucking Clark.
>>720161270Dead Money is the best NV DLC, easily. Lonesome Road is the worst, thoughever.
>>720161270dm is my favorite overalllr next. ulysses is okay, i like him because its like talking to a severely mentally traumatized ptsd spearnigger whos gone off the deep end. owb is fine but its just not my favorite. its comfy. hh is pretty nothing gameplaywise but the npcs are all topnotch and randall clark as well
>>720158286>cheatIt's not cheating. I took both stages of the Implant GRX perk which stacks with fast times and chemist, so I get like 80 seconds of turbo time which is enough time to sneak walk my way up to the point where you have to jump upwards onto a different platform. All you have to do is drop the gold, jump, grab the gold before it falls through the crack, and then continue onwards. It's about at that point that Elijah realizes he's been tricked, so that's when the real timer starts.
>>720161192you can just type fyou don't need all the zeroes
>>720160990>best>do melee only build>COMPLETELY bricked the moment you start dead moneys storyyeah nah
>>720158286>muh messagenobody cares, retard. it is a video game. >>720159086console players cant use console commands
>>720161629oh shit I love you no homo
>>720161430>lonesome road>worsthonest hearts is right there
>>720158286Because it was a miserable fucking experience and I wanted something out of it
>>720161634Are you actually retarded? The entire limb destruction gimmick in the DLC's combat is to punish guns-only retards and reward melee chads. The knife spear every other one of the ghost guys drop does better with just 50 melee weapons than most of the guns in the DLC will with a maxed out guns stat. And once you get access to cosmic knives and make a clean knife spear, you're like a fucking god. Even unarmed and energy weapon builds do better than guns in DM.
>>720161634you dumb gorilla nigger its the other way around and DM IS EASY AS SHIT IF YOURE FUCKING LOSING IN DM YOU SUCK AT VIDEOGAMES>punch or chop up ghost nigger for instant killOR>shoot them and then pull a knife out and sit on the ground chopping their legs until one of them explodes and they die too
>>720158286People actually pretend that this boring slogfest is fun because they think it is so le deep and thought provoking
>>720158286DM is the only time I wanted to fuck a bald chick
>>720161270DM > HH > LR > OWBOWB is fucking annoying, the dialogue is cringe, the areas and challenges suck, the enemies suck, the super awesome house needs like 4 loading screens to access and gets btfo by even the shittiest POH mod. LR is tolerable if you skip through all of the bloated BEAR BULL dialogue. Ulysses is a joke compared to other characters like Ceasar and Graham and doesn't live up to the hype at all, the whole ED-E subplot had zero emotional impact on me, and the gameplay while linear is at least pretty fun to clear through.
>>720158286The New Vegas DLCs, and by extension most 3/4 DLCs are simply badly designed. They don't fit into the main game design. They are isolated experinces that force you stay inside of it until you finish it. It hqs no bearing on the rest of the main game. And in the case of DM, it even strips the RPG aspects from the game as you are forced to reset your progress via losing your gear.All 3 games are best enjoyed by ignoring the DLC and just playing the base game. TES DLC is far better integrated and it's not even close.
>>720158286>Y-you MUST agree with my message, chud. No, I'm letting go of being poor.
>>720161634>DLC about resource scarcity and limb damage in enclosed quarters>bricked for playing the spec that uses fewer resources and specializes in limb damage/close quarters combat
>>720162416Either he is retarded or he is talking about autism meme builds that aren't allowed to shoot projectiles at all, since there are speakers far away that need to be shot to progress. And if it's the latter, then he's even more retarded than if he were just shit at a Bethesda game's combat.
>>720161892I don't want to shoot Joshua Graham in the face five seconds after meeting him the same way I want to do Ulysses. Also, the retarded "you cannot finish the DLC unless you play a sub-40IQ Courier that launches a nuke to open a door" bit.
>>720161892>honest hearts BAD because natives trigger me
>>720158286It is a case of devs not understanding the medium in which they worked.They thought it would be seen as a deep and poignant lesson.The players saw it as a problem to be solved.
>>720158286>steal all the gold>lock elijah inThe moral remains the same, but it's Elijah who is forced to learn it, far too late.Also Male Courier x Christine is canon. Fuck Veronica and fuck Cass, worthless bitches who don't put out. I KNOW for a FACT that those two fucked after Dead Money ended.
>>720162330Casuals like you are why Old Reddit Blues and Lonesome BEAR BULL BEAR BULL had pity messages saying "oh you'll keep all your stuff plz don't get mad we wouldn't want to have you actually have a CHALLENGE or anything".
>>720162741It can be both, which it was, and it did it well. >>720160190You don't even need glitches or special builds or cheating to do it. With the right timing you can just poop walk all the way back to the elevator, which I'm sure the devs knew would be possible.
>>720162760>Male Courier x Christine is canon.my nigga. having her go from "youre in league with elijah arent you faggot' to warming up to you and going "fine, i'll let go" is something those other two cunts couldnt achieve. fuckin Lily makes a better companion than those two in comparison
>>720162760>Courier x Christine
>>720161892>another honest hearts haterYOU KNOW WHAT!!!??God be with you anon
>>720162843>duh casualRetard. I play on very hard hardcore. My argument is even about difficulty. It's that the gameplay completely shifts from how the game plays in the Mojave.If I want a scarcity survival experience. I will play DUST. It's far better deaigned and ai'm going into it FOR that experience.
I've completed this DLC 5 times and I've killed Dean Domino every time.
>>720162683no, actually. it's because your involvement in the natives lives is as follows>show up>find three sets of boy scouts equipment for native group 1>clear three bad native camps for native group 2>take drugs, kill a bear (optional)>companion quest with native from native group 2>kill more bears, but with explosives>fight bad native gang>the endbut i can accept the argument that their focus was put more on creating a beautiful landscape to roam through, rather than creating a giant junkbox full of cool shit to loot (looking at you, old world blues). and i like joshua graham. i just wanted more involvement in it instead of showing up, doing some chores, and then getting out.
>>720158286I already had a ton of money before starting the DLC. I just decided that the DLC was pretentious and stole it out of spite.
>>720158286New Vegas would be better off with one huge expansion instead of these short DLC episodes.They all feel like they were either rushed out of the door or were limited in scope.I still like all of them, but they are not as replayable as the base game.
>>720162760based christine appreciator. she's built for penis>b-but lesbi-don't care
>>720163710that is completely fair, but i like him as character. he seems like a greater villain than elijah purely because this entire hotel, vault and Vera Keyes Prison was built thanks to him
>>720163390>t. cucked out for Cass and the NTR- i mean NCRReminder that Courier and Christine had the best chemistry in the game.>>720163383I always feed Cass to Van Graffs and I smugly gloat about blowing up the Reddithood to Veronica's face (after learning how to don Power Armor and emptying out their stash with several Stealth Boys.) Fuck 'em.>>720163710It took me a while to figure out that you basically had to be polite to Dean Domino the entire time in order for him not to turn on you. What an ass, I stabbed him to death.
>>720164195>I always feed Cass to Van Graffs and I smugly gloat about blowing up the Reddithood to Veronica's face (after learning how to don Power Armor and emptying out their stash with several Stealth Boys.) Fuck 'em.i only do it for the glory of mr house. you are a foul fiend, a dog with no leash.
My record for beating this dlc is 8 hours from doc mitchells to the final cutscene. I go from spawn, dump all points ALL POINTS into sneak so i have 100 sneak by the time i get to the gold bars. I know where every stash and healing item is and i can go through the vill blindfolded. I made this dlc my fucking BITCH i like it more than the actual game desu
>>720163524If only modern christcucks were like Graham. Love and violence go hand in hand. Instead we get self-destructive learned incompetence TRASH like Daniel.
>>720158286Lol everyone here would grab that gold if they could let's not kid ourselves. The only problem was Elijah being a gigantic jackass during the entire DLC. >N-no you're being greedy taking it allToo bad. If you have the strength to carry all that shit somehow, and not do it, you're an idiot. Especially considering we live in a shitty economy. Donate everything to the poor if u want to feel better about it. I swear people are stuck up their asses nowadays.
>>720164362>i only do it for the glory of Mr. houseexceptional taste. he may be farfetched on certain topics but in the end, he is the true savior of vegas. >NCRcan easily be bought or wiped out if the fiends could organize themselves. Just alcoholics with guns pretending to be soldiers. real knights of yore as house put it.>LegionSlavery Might be based, but taking order from an old timer with a tumor who misread hegel isnt someone i'd like to entertain for long>Yes ManIts only savagery out there, and where there's even the slightest bit of civility, theres bureaucracy. Nothing gets done with bureaucracy. Should you get BoS to side with NCR for the battle you can see them both arguing about who has the right to the power armor that was stolen after the battle at Helios one. You give the Mojave an individualistic New Vegas today, it'll turn to a pile of debris and dust by tomorrow.
>>720165435>exceptional taste. he may be farfetched on certain topics but in the end, he is the true savior of vegas.the only thing i'll give house shit for is that he says he'll have humanity back in space in 100 years, but i already got a gang of ghouls to the moon a few days before meeting house for the first time. yeah, house...don't think you'll have any issues there.
>>720158286I deserve it after I went through that dogshit gameplay. Fuck Dead Money.
>>720158286>expecting the average person to watch a pre 1980 movie Make it pre 2000 for zoomies
>>720158286this is the best DLC from NV and anybody saying otherwise is a clown.i seriously dont get why people like old world blues, the fucking mountain of quirk chungus dialogue at the start almost made me quit the game back in the day.
Honest Hearts>Lonesome Road>Old World Blues>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>shit>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Dead Money.Also Yes Man is the best ending. Imagine being a wageslave to some old guy, a roman larper and a dead government when you can just take power for yourself.
>>720162760>Male Courier x Christine is canonbased. they're literally two brain damaged revenge-seeking psychos BUILT for each other
>>720162683No it's just boring. It's like four fetch quests then it's over.
>>720166359To be fair, you need to have alot of narrative imagination i.e. head canon, in order to make Yes Man a good or interesting ending. If you just take everything in game at face value, it's the same as a house ending but less organized and more boring.But based on most New Vegas threads, half its players don't even RP.
>>720163710Dean is basically one of the most evil people in the game. Killing him is always 100% justified and even if you spare him, there's hardly anything to imply he'll ever change and won't repeat the same shit he did pre-war and post-war elsewhere.
hi jerk im dad
>>720166762I just pick it because it makes the most sense for my Enclave Courier. I don't mind the House ending too much either since it's also better than the Legion or NCR endings.
jannies really are worthless
>>720166762>>720166359Yes man betrays you at the end
>>720167601proof? schizo headcanon doesn't count
>>720167601If that's your head cannon, sure. But not in mine :)
I just wish they let you actually fucking let you team up with him, given you some kind of hologram ghost summoning weapon, and then when you beat the game, then you get the special invasion ending.
>>720158286Because fuck your message.
Give me a quick weapon/armor/perk mod idea I want to make something.
>>720166762The major issue with a Yes Man ending is that due to time constraints they could not make sliders for all the things the courier achieved or all the people he helped, and that would have made a huge difference if more of your actions were factored in. The best example of that is the slide saying the Followers are struggling even though you fixed all their major problems and got them better tech, new suppliers and more support than ever.
>>720161892>honest heartsI shot the indian at the beginning because he looked all the other indians and the quest marker sent me to kill the main characters and leave so I did. It was over in like 20 minutes. Wasn't until years later that I discovered that wasn't actually what was supposed to happen.
>>720167774Look up one of the nif-bashed resource packs then make one of the guns into a cool unique.Or if you want to fuck about with models then turn Graham's armor into a non-unique. Remove the bandages, make it cleaner, plaid shirt.
>>720168259hmmm mebbe i should make a unique recharge rifle
>>720166359HH is clearly undercooked compared to the other DLCs. I can understand liking some of the characters and what they were trying to do with the story, but it is objectively inferior to the other 3.
>>720158286The gold bars don't weigh the amount that's fucking stamped on them do canonically my courier looted the entire fucking vault and left Elijah holding the bag as he presses his middle finger over the shielded door leaving him to die. Fuck your pseudo intellectual bullshit. If I can take an entire suit of power armor 37 gold bars is nothing for a wasteland savage.

>>720168467It is undercooked, but not outright terrible like OWB. I'd put it on par with LR for being mediocre but in very different ways. All 3 get btfo by DM.
>>720168850OWB is kino and I refuse to accept this reddit take.
>>720158286you tell me to not do thing. i do thing.simple as
>>720158286the message its peddling doesnt apply to the player in any way though

>>720161270Lonesome Road is kino but Dead Money is annoying as fuck. The story and themes don't bother me but most of the puzzles at the end are just annoying trial and error gotchas
>>720169181You could google just about every single quest name in FNV and find it references something.
>tfw checking what the devs were inspired by for honest hearts >they never mention the missioni'm surprised
>>720159216baste?
>>720169196>he didn't appreciate the sci-fi horror kino or hearing Rusty through our guy Dr OhYep, reddit moment.
>>720169398The only remotely redeeming interaction in all of OWB was finding out Mobius was based, and I give the game credit for letting you commit to that by killing the think tank. But you know what? It would have been even better if it gave you the option to kill the think tank 30 seconds into their first dialogue.
>>720158286But enough about Fallout 3
>>720169612You're literally indian.
OWB is only enjoyable if you install a mod that strips you of all your gear. Still has the worst writing and dialouge in the game.
>>720161270I agree to both of those but I put OWB above HH. It's story is ass and exists just for powergamers but atleast it has replay value.LR>DM>OWB>HH
>>720169627Everybody here has played the game so why post fake shit? Kys you fucking nigger.
>>720169627that's the most disgusting font ever
>>720169969>Everybody here has played the game so why post fake shit?Are you fucking retarded? What makes it fake?
>>720158286>why are Fallout players like this?Its funnier to escape the casino and dab on the dickhead that locked us in there by taking the gold he's been scheming over for so god damn long. Taking the gold with you is just a giant middle finger to the antagonist of the quest before you fuck off, half the time I can't even be arsed to sell it because its so heavy so I just dump it in a chest in my player house and move on
>>720170187PLEAE GOD STOP USING THAT FONT
>>720161270Me too but where I think LR is an underappreciated gem DM I get the hate and usually agree. It definitely has the best theme and story/characters of the dlcs but it is hampered by annoying gameplay and feeling more like some action adventure game than a Fallout product.
>>720158286Spitting on a story's message by being a smartass is fun.
>>720170187Why do faggots spend all their time pretending to be even stupider than they already are?
>>720170247This. It's just way more satisfying emptying the vault and leaving that fuck to either kill himself or jump into the cloud. Hearing his final radio broadcast of just waiting there for us when we die warms my heart, could picture my courier recording that audio and keeping it as a recording trophy.
>>720164195>ReddithoodHating the BOS is a reddit opinion.
>>720158286It was never about the money, it's about sending a message.
>(optional) Sneak past elijah and trap him inside the vaulti never cheated, i snuck behind the electricity thing and then just walked to the door, its not MY fault the octagenarian schizo was too slow to react
>>720167417The Italian finally made a based meme.
>>720163976He's a great character! It's a testament to the writing that I still hate his faggot face as much as I do 15 years later>>720166868I wouldn't know! I haven't seen the slides where he lives and I never will
>>720171303They deserved to be hated. They just squirreled away anything resembling a laser pointer, hiding underground as their numbers dwindled. They had no plans for this technology, no vision, no future. This is all lore accurate and consistent with fo1/2 brotherhoods, and it's great that New Vegas depicted them accurately while also shitting on them.
>>720170516>listening to the old schizo go through the five stages of grief in real time in vault filled with nothing

>>720171614No, you dumb secondary. They only care about keeping dangerous military technology like energy weapons and FEV out of the wrong hands, while reintroducing less dangerous technology to the wasteland. Veronica is a retard and is shown to be wrong.

>>720174696Correct. The base game is way better in every game that has DLC.
>>720174696wrong, far harbor is objectively the best individual piece of fallout content period
>>720174696also the same goes for the borderlands franchise
>>720163586Based DUST enjoyer.
>>720160190Forcing the player to act out something they don't agree with, or find uncomfortable, is a perfectly fine way for an interactive medium like video games to convey something too though

>>720169398>Rusty through our guy Dr OhHow the fuck did I never make that connection.

>>720161270I like HH because it's always nice having a proper relatively untouched wilderness environment in Fallout. Randall Clark is great though yeah.
>>720158286For me it's getting Dean Domino to save the day in the nick of time and walking out with Elijah's headAlso I get rid of Christine every time
>>720177793I always end up locking myself into killing Dean cause I forget you have to be nice to him in his first conversation and accidentally tell him how I really feel about his mine trick

>>720177604didnt know that...never tried i guessi even told a friend who said HH is his favorite and he didnt correct meguess nobody bothers to go back
>>720161270they are my favorite dlcs toohh is dogshit, joshua is great, but i hate everything else about itowb is meh, it feels bloated sometimes
>>720158286Because GRA came out afterwards and people suddenly had a use for those gold bars
>>720178105There's no reason to go back to any of them. OWB cheats with that shitty player house, but getting to it sucks and the layout is overcomplicated. Any unowned rundown shack in the main world is better than it for storage.
I hate DM because it has the hardest to find snowglobe and it's also the only one you can't go back for
>>720171614To be fair they really didn't have a plan for anything beyond securing the Real Bad Shit (tm) that existed prewarAnd their work was cut out for them because the more we learn about the Fallout US the more fucked up the situation gets. They had plagues, genetic manipulation, tactical nuclear weapons, death beams, regular nukes, space nukes, ICBMs, killer robots, space lasers, and god knows what elseTheir real fuckup was not integrating with the NCR to expand the reach of their collecting effort
>>720158286It's simple really, don't cheat my out of my fucking time and I won't cheat you out of your gay ass message. Sierra Madre lorewise is neat, cool story and character, but is an absolute pain in the ass to actually play, there is never a fun fucking moment in that entire DLC. The only reason I still bother is purely so I can take the Automatic Rifle and Holorifle back home, the gold is just a bonus.
>>720178250OWB cheats because of the sink, that gives you infinite crafting supplies from random trash.It is bscl the prequel to Fo4s crating shit.As for LR, Its the best place to farm caps especially early on, so you dont return, you leave and come back.In Fo3, there were like a handful of semi rare items that you wanted to keep for collection quests.But the sink is fkn insane...

>>720179752GHOOOOOST BLOWJOBSWOOWOOOOOOOOOO
You take all the gold legit, might take a few tries. Like for example you can drop all the gold bars on the ground in front of you as one bar, allowing you to sneak forward faster as you constantly throw it down in front of you.
>>720173201So his plan was to use the cloud and holograms to wipe out all post-american civilizations and offer free food, water and medicine if you put on a bomb collar? Who would be alive to even take this deal?
>>720169325ughle noble savages are fucking retarded
>>720181602faaaaaaaag
>>720180850>Cloud = Area of denial weapon with no countermeasures. long run times and ease of propagation via wind currents.>Holograms = Static defense that can only be destroyed if you target the projectors themselves. No form of weaponry can disable the hardlight figures. Think of it like rolling fire if you attach said projectors to a small wheeled cart or an eyebot.>Vending Machine = Proto matter replicator that can produce anything without needing an entire industral base just to fabricate the base components themselves.Eljiah's big brain idea was to wash out the Mojave in the Cloud, take up residence on the Strip itself and maintain exclusive rights to the Hoover Dam. Using his autism and free power scale everything up until you reach self sustainability and rebuild your forces free from outside intervention. Eventually he would take the Repconn launch facility, fill two rockets up with the Cloud and fire them at the capitals of the NCR and Legion respectively.
>>720181632
>>720162683all the effort for HH was put into making zion national parkthe natives look good but the way they talk is just fucking annoying and doesn't make any sense; they aren't retarded, they're just not very technologically advancedgraham's voice acting is perfect and his character is pretty gooddaniel is annoying and does not offer anything to support his position, never being able to challenge a single counterargument all of the enemies are reused though i don't hate the white legs and their 50 calsthe 1911 is nice but all the unique weapons and armor are mediocre at best; most suckdead money is more annoying to replay simply because it takes your stuff but HH commits the greatest sin of being boring
>>720174696the questline is miserable but i like making the robots automatron adds and having them either guard settlements or making a giga nigga with twin explosive miniguns and two shoulder-mounted fat man launchers and just watching him absolutely annihilate everything

>>720158286Letting go is retarded, there is absolutely no lesson here, any angle is retarded. Worst thing is, whoever wrote this is a rich american raised in safe suburbia space, he got absolutely no idea about real life, in his worldview this letting go made a perfect sense, but in real world it's retarded.

>>720183969>almost unrecognizable compared to stuff back in the 1800sYou don't really believe that, right? Even ~1600 in Shakespeare's time is still intelligible. You'd have to go back to 1400 and earlier to lose most meaning, probably because that was before the printing press and the beginning of the standardization of the written language.

>>720158286It doesn't matter that the message is thematically great and homage to a fantastic movie. That's the canon thing, as far as I'm concerned. Now we're going to munchkin it up and get that shit one way or another because it's fun.
>>720158286You know, if they wanted to seriously have the same message as the movie then maybe you should have had to kill all your friends if you wanted the loot. Not just have advanced jank knowledge.

>>720185193it's not about the money, it's about sending a message
>>720188632>it's not about the money, it's about sending a message
>>720158286Probably because it's a video game and video games aren't art. I didn't take the gold though because I had a glitch where the turrets in one of those rooms near the vault couldn't be damaged and I had to strategically break my own legs blowing myself up with explosives to land over there and melee them. I very nearly softlocked myself and reached the DLC with a sliver of health, all my limbs broken and concussed, could not give less of a fuck about the treasure at that point I just wanted to LEAVE.

>>720164851I kind of hate that siding with Joshua to punish the evildoers will lead to a "bad end" for Daniel and his adopted tribe. I'd make the same choice again since turning the other cheek doesn't really work in a world where murderous lunatics outnumbered peaceful people, but having the ending turn the Sorrows from a peaceful tribe to a warlike people never really made sense to me, especially when the ending slide said that they're following the example of Joshua; it would make more sense if there are two different endings for them where they become an aggressive tribe if you let Joshua kill the White Leg leader, and where they just become more pragmatic if you convince Joshua to let the White Leg guy go.

>>720158286All gaymers are like this. They HATE experiencing negative emotions because they need that dopamine hit like a drug addict. This is why most people should NOT be granted freedom, as we see in NuVegas, they will take shortcuts because they dont know whats good for them, the retards.
>>720158286Gamers are just like that, they want to have agency and fun first and foremost, not learn a theme/message. This is why Films are the better art form for storytelling
>>720182306cringe
>whats that? you have functioning pattern recognition and applied it to the video game you played for the last 10 hours? fuck you
>>720158286The fun thing is that after you do i you realize actually liquidating the gold is a HUGE hassle, like i think only a couple of shops have enough Caps/Ammo to regularly handle like ONE bar before you need to wait for their restock, i think Gunrunners DLC Shop and the Sink are basically the ones that can. One Bar was genuinely all you need to be set for the rest of the game and now you got a bathtub of Bullions you ain't gonna use taking up space.
>>720193819It does a good job of showing that like the writers, Dean Domino is a petty, pretentious faggot.
>>720193819He's a cunt with an ego who thinks he's better than anyone. He wasn't going to forgive you for this.
>>720195461If you left the DLCs until the end of the base game, then you will already be rich and don't actually need the gold at all.
>rush OBW for Christine's Silenced Sniper Rifle>"Yep, now I can play the game".
But why does your character need to learn this lesson? Realistically your character doesn't give a shit about anything that's going on and just wants to leave
>>720195786I do this but with DM for holoraifu
>>720159086It's not about the caps it's about the spite.
>>720158286Because the gameplay is retardedly punishing with the speakers and holograms, walking off with all the gold is the biggest "fuck you" to the developers and their gay le letting go message
>>720196001>speakers and hologramsJust be aware of your environment sis. The biggest problem in DM are the creepy zombies.
>>720193819I always piss off this irredeemable faggot as much as possible in every dialogue option. I make sure to kill him along with the schizo mutie every playthrough. Only Christine deserves to live
>>720196119Ghostiggers are not a problem at all if you're doing a keyed high melee run

>>720158286It's literally the lyrics of Hotel California made into a videogame. Sawyer never realized that, before Avellone (who wrote the DLC in the first place) literally pointed it out to him.
Honest Heart scratches an Itch because unlike the rest of NV, its more post-apocalypse than post-post-apocalypse. The theme of warring tribal entities over resources and territory and spirituality returning in the wasteland is pretty standard post-apoc stuff.
>>720195162Reddit and its consequences have been a disaster for Fallout.
I enjoy all the New Vegas DLCs. :)
I didn't need to glitch shit, I was astonished to find the game doesn't check that you're not over your weight limit when you walk out the gate back home, so I was able to go back overburdened by a literal tonne of armors, automatic rifles, police pistols and other valuable shit that I'd looted over the duration and shoved into a trash can by the fountainAnd THEN there's this ludicrous regular payment of chips you can earn by cleaning out the casino, so you can drop by the bunker every once in a while to get a shitload of stim packs or weapon repair kits dispensed for nothing.The gold bars are honestly peanuts in comparison to the LEGIT riches you can walk away with. These games always make it too easy to reduce money to a joke.
I get that its the point but not being able to re-visit and loot just sucks balls, especially when tbey put some good shit in like the automatic rifle which is very expensive to repair and
>>720158286it wasn't a glitch, it was a conscious design decision
>>720158286Nigger, if you want something challenging to let go of, ignore the weapon repair kit vending machine code.The trailer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9hGqZ0LM-M) advertised the game as a horror, almost saw-like setting where you are forced to cooperate or else you die and once your captor gets what he wants with your hands he will let you go.The player's motivations for entering the sierra madre can be anything from idle curiosity, being hungry and retarded, greed, or IDK REALLY>>720161892Lonesome road is the worst because you have to listen to a delusional nigger schizobabble that makes up a shitty backstory for your player connecting you to a place you (the character AND the player) have never heard of, seen, been to in any other video game.Ulysses' babble migh impress you if you're an NCR fag and have neurosyphilis from being gay, I don't remember independent but House one he's assmad about doing what House is openly stating is his plan, if you pick legion it's an imcomprehensible show of delusions, hypocrisy and self contradiction where one second asselone's pet chimp says he's with the legion and will snitch on you to ceasar for killing everyone in copeville then he's no longer legion because his unga bunga tribe was told to shave and take a shower>nukes are le bad... look at the assraped scenery>btw detonate all 30 hidden nuclear warheads to maximize your loot gains and get a SICK trophy/achievement

>>720162760>>720164195>Christine x CourierKeep dreaming. Christine is one of dyke devs self insert mary sue. It's extremely obvious. The main reason why that bitch is in DLC in first place is because she got uppity after Elijah split her from Veronica. Keeping her alive doesn't make much sense either because according to ending slides she freely roams around the villa and Sierra Madre around ghosts, while Dean Domino himself confirms that ghosts are never friendly and are ankle biting niggers.

>>720181651I'd say holograms would be a bad idea for attacking but amazing at defending once you've taken an area, hide the emitters in a corner without line of sight to the entrance to a room and no ones getting in there without human wave tactics.
i like doing dead money as low level as possible, like level 4-5also police revolver is great
>>720182627I think they took military police a bit too literally there, usually MPs are just regular soldiers with an armband or something to indicate they're on MP duty.
>>720158286Sir, it’s a bethesda game. Thinking people won’t take the gold because its too encumbering is just full on naivety for the developer’s part
>>720172402Still retarded that a man sustained by technology with a hardon for technology and a robot army sees no use for technology hording super soldiers that he could easily negotiate with like a business man. >>720175129Close but its Point Lookout.
>>720161270OWB is fucking awful, Reddit-tier dialogue and shit gameplay. HH was meh, cool setting but not much else. The other 2 are great
>>720182306god if only they didnt make the NCR so hilariously retarded and incompetent to the point that spear chucking chuds are a genuine threat.
>>720202704There originally was an option to persuade him to spare them if the Courier was a member of the BOS, but the option was removed quite late in development so that people wouldn't just automatically side with House.It's like how the NCR route had the option for the NCR and House to make an agreement and dialogue was written and recorded for it, but it was cut late in development.
>>720202918They basically had to nerf the NCR into the ground with retardation, corruption, infighting, internal disinformation, etc. and making them an unpopular foreign adventure instead of being in the core territories. The Courier and Lanius (and his men) are the stalemate breakers. If the NCR was even semi-competent, then the game just wouldn't work without making massive changes to the Legion (such as making them sexist survivalists instead of LARPing faggots) to stop them from being ROFLstomped.
>>720166359Low IQ
>>720178105To be fair the dlc is designed to bury the courier in prickly pear fruits which can get melted down to salient green in OWB to break cooking. The pear fruits alone are an efficient staple to playing hardcore mode.

>>720193819>pick passing skill checks>get punished for itIts a fantastic inversion of the skill check system that needed to be utilized more often.
>>720195461I usually use the gold bars as the currency for buying all the GRA unique weapons so i dont actually spend caps lol. The true endgame is collecting all the weapons to be used during the finale at your liesure
>>720197404>And THEN there's this ludicrous regular payment of chips you can earn by cleaning out the casino, so you can drop by the bunker every once in a while to get a shitload of stim packs or weapon repair kits dispensed for nothing.The real trick is bartering spare loot with the shopkeeps in the sierra madre to get like 2500 wads of prewar money per shopkeep and converting it all to sierra madre chips when you finally hit the casino.

>>720191998Daniel is miserable no matter what you do. If I can side with Graham while exorcising his inner demons through mercy while ensuring my favorite irl vacation spot isn't sullied by the White Legs, then the Sorrows being more violent is a fine compromise. Randall Clark wanted them to defend themselves and Zion from hostile invaders like what he did with the Vault Dwellers anyway.

>>720210268doing it for the meme is the only valid reason to max out charisma, also it makes your companions stronger if you plan to use any. Otherwise I'm pretty sure that nothing in the game requires more than 7 and the stat is basically useless

You might as well just give yourself one million caps.Once you get jury rig money instantly becomes trivial in this game anyway. The gold just lets you take max vendors caps which you can easily do with a few perfect condition heavy weapons and SMGs.The only thing you really need caps for in this game are the implants and the expensive healing implant is really only useful specifically in this DLC. Pretty sure most people just leave the bars sitting around their house since they're a unique item.

>>720158286It's not a glitch or a cheat, it's not my fault if I can use a stealth boy and hide behind cover. They either shouldn't have given me cover or a stealth boy at the end of the day, the game lets me do it so how is that glitching or cheating? It's just game knowledge.

>>720158286I just read the synopsis for that filmeither you are completely wrong or they completely fucked up the homage, because the main characters of the film didn't CHOOSE to let the gold go, it was taken from them by force and then lost by the thieves, and then they decide that chasing gold isn;t worth it at the end....but from what I can tell, that's because of the greed of the characters more than anything else, it's not a "universal life lesson", it really was just Dobbs being a selfish cunt, Howard and Curtin sounded absolutely fine
>>720158286Because its a shit dlc
>>720220014>either you are completely wrong or they completely fucked up the homage, because [explains why it's a homage]wut
>>720220105The message of the game is that you need to let the money go because it will corrupt youDobbs is the only one who was corrupted from what I read, everyone else seemed fine, and I think the Howard and Curtin could have just gone back to get the gold themselves and had a perfectly amicable relationship whilst they worked together then split it 50/50, and I believe they would have done that based on how they treat Cody's death: agreeing to give money to his widow, despite him being just some guy who turned up and WANTED to join, but didn't actually do anything to help get the gold before he was shot and killed by a group of thievesif the message of the movie was meant ot be "gold corrupts" then I don't agree, the real message seems to be "some people are just cunts!", and my courier in F:NV didn;t fall into that category based on the choices I made throughout the game

The narrative of "letting go" literally doesn't apply to the courier though. It's not their story or their lesson to learn. They are an outside observer forced into the scenario.
>>720230951The reason you got yourself into this situation in the first place is because you were lured in by a radio broadcast promising treasure and luxury.
>>720231498Which has nothing to do with your own past.
>>720231670Please do tell me how the message of "let go" can only apply if it's connected to some kind of lengthy backstory.
>>720231881Why would explain an argument I'm not making?
>>720231670YOUR story specifically isn't about the past.
>>720232372Oh, I'm arguing with a retard, and here I was thinking I was going to have an interesting discussion.
>>720232538No shit.
>>720158286I think the idea is to not let green overtake you to your detriment. If players can casually stuff it all in elijah's skull and carry it to the end then they technically weren't subject to core of the dilema, so good for them for being smart enough to game the system.I just took a 2-3 bars and left. I had enough carry capacity and it was more than I needed, though a full pyramid of gold bars would look nice in the house.
first time i played this i somehow fucked up and missed the thing that lets you by stimpacks in the DLC zone. basically had to do the entire DLC with just the stimpacks i brought with me. was the most intense survival situation ive ever experienced in a bethsoft title, and i have at least 200 hours on all of them. just goes to show how much better these games would be if they dropped the pretension of being tabletop rpgs and went all out on survival
You can literally take at least some of the treasure without cheating at all though.
>>720231881Why are you assuming you need a long backstory for the (evidently correct) assumption that this is not the courier's baggage?
Its been a long while since I played dead money, someone remind me of everyone's obsession>girl wanted revenge on elijah>group was obsessed with the treasure inside and his hatred of the casino owner>elijah was obsessed with the tech to control the cloud and wiping out NCR and maybe the brotherhood out of spiteWhat was dog/god supposed to be obsessed with?
>>720231498>hmm this old radio broadcast is interesting>YOU ARE OBSESSED WITH THE PAST AND NEED TO LET GO>ok i delivered this package to this place>YOU PERSONALLY DESTROYED THE DIVIDE CAESAR SAID NOT TO KILL COURIERS SO I'LL GUILT YOU ABOUT THIS THING YOU DID BEAR BULL BULL BEAR ok ulysses
>>720233147Because you were promised a treasure, you learn that there is in fact a real treasure at the end, and that the only way to leave the place alive is to let go of the treasure.The only way the courier would get himself collared and dragged into the sierra madre plot is because he was interested in that treasure to some degree.
The worst vice the courier has is curiosity
>>720233363Thinking Ulysses is a monomaniac and reading far to much into things is a perfectly fine way for the player/courier to react to LR
>>720233275It's not stated outright, but it seems like Dog's obsession is with the Master. The God personality (as well as Dog's obedience to Elijah) are sort of coping mechanisms for Dog not having a Master to serve under anymore. I think.
>Take buffout>Leave with some of the apparently narrative shattering gold, using logic internally consistent with both lore and gameplay >"glitch/cheat"
>>720158286Dog/God is my favorite fallout companion so everything else in Head Money gets a pass from me tbqh
>finding it, that's not the hard part>its letting go>its letting go>its letting go>its letting goKINOOO
>>720233662God was obsessed with control, control over Dog and everything around himself. It's more likely that God was closer to what the nightkin's original personality was before the schizophrenia took over, and Dog is just a mindfucked retard looking for the blissful obedience it remembers.
>>720222386d&g was a stupid story. David had more advantges over goliath, despite his size. david had the G-d and his slingshot. the latter was basically the proto gun>>720223376i don't think they were supposed to be looked up too. lot of them diden't even follow god's plan 100% like gideon. jewish storytelling is diffrent from the greeks and romans, where they weren't supposed to be heroes but to be looked at as caution tales. you can see this in modern hollywood with movies like uncut gems and falling down
>>720233992Fallout 2 was exactly the same situation THOUGH.
>>720233514There's no dilemma or obsession on the players part though. In fact if you complete the DLC as intended there's no implication that the courier has any hangups at all and just wanted to survive. Yet they are rewarded regardless of taking the gold or not.
>>720234246
>>720181868>the 1911 is nice but all the unique weapons and armor are mediocre at best; most suckI'm questioning if you even played the game or just watched some youtuber/twitchfag spec'd into melee or energy weapons, because this is absolute AIDS bullshit right here. The Desert Ranger armor set you get is arguably the best armor in the game, not needing power armor training and being very easy to repair. Only the Elite Riot Armor from BEAR BULL BULL BEAR Road is stronger, but repairing the helmet is difficult because they made it incompatible with anything but other riot helmets even with jury rigging because they're stupid. The Thompson with .45 Super Handload is a godgun that can nuke anything in the fucking world.
>>720234318>There's no dilemma or obsession on the players partBecause you're approaching it from a meta perspective and you know you're getting yourself into playing DLC content where you more or less know what you're getting yourself into thanks to promotional material.Your character, the courier, doesn't know that he's getting himself into a cool adventure where he gets to shoot ghosts with a holorifle, or that he's going to unlock a new playerhome and a way to redeem junk items for rewards after completing the DLC.
>>720234539I remember the elite riot helmate also being repairable with any old hat + jury rigging but I admittedly haven't used it extensively since I first got it back in like 2011
>>720196507This, national park that has kinda recovered from the nuclear war was really cool and interesting setting. Too bad they absolutely fucked it up by making the characters and plot just boring and annoying.
>>720234657I didn't know that when I first played it either. I was not spoiled on the DLC.
>>720158286>always would take one or two bars, whatever i can carry unencumbered>never bothered taking it all because its unnecessary>nowadays i literally dont take anything from the vault because i dont need it and am always loaded to the gills with caps anyway
>>720234525Are you a bot? You seem to reply with things that are unrelated to the discussion and seem to instead focus on keywords, just how a bot would react.If Fallout 2 is considered a main entry into Fallout universe, and a full fledged Fallout title, then so is Fallout New Vegas.
I don't remember cheating at all though. Pretty sure I just chose a dialogue option that made Elijah keep the door open, killed him and was strong enough to hobble out with the gold by dropping unimportant shit and buffing myself.If that's opposed to the intended narrative, they fucked up.
>>720162330Lonesome road, point lookout, and all of 4's DLCs are not locked in start to finish
>>720234719Joshua hard carries that entire story on his back
>>720205829Same shit as all the indian obsession years after kitboga got popular for duping indian scammers. Retarded autistic children have a giggle and insist on spamming it everywhere. Since 4chan is no longer a place that gets tired of and tosses out garbage when it's overused, it's stuck around the way facebook frogs and redditjak have. The only hope left is eventually some other unfunny overused piece of shit "meme" takes its place.>>720233275>christineThe Cuckerhood of Sneed tasked her with assassinating Elijah, and her "obsession" was completing an assigned mission aka her job, her raison d'etre.>dean dominoIf I'm remembering right, if you don't piss him off, he just kind of wants to reminisce and live peacefully.>dogEating and obeying the "master".>godProtecting dog from his own stupidity, and others.>elijahPower, technology, vengeance.>>720234707That's the Desert Ranger helmet. You can repair it with everything, even eyeglasses.
>>720235823Saar did the needful, may you be resurrected into a cow next yuga.Good morning.
i for one fucking adore honest hearts. it has a great map, a decent story and basically the only thing missing from the cowboy game was some injuns.also the .45 super hand loads are the best. you can blast a deathclaw in 5 rounds
I just slowly walked out with all of the gold. I have no idea what the cheat/glitch methods even are for this.
>>720182627please tell me this isn't some dragbody gun network exclusive shit
>>720236197It's a bit barren.
>>720158286Money is always pointless in the game by the time I do dead money. I always go decent strength with the carry weight increasing perks so i can usually carry out 8 bars of gold.I don't even bother selling them, i just display them.
>>720236529just like the base game
>>720236529it is the only dlc that has a true open map though. you can just wander around and explore.
>>720236429LOL
>>720236713there's not much to explore. just a few towers and caves. >>720236663even worse than the base game.
>>720236197Outside the old man terminal logs, HH was pretty disappointing. I didn't like how you slaughter countless people, but you get to le heckin moral teach Joshua at the end to not kill ONE tribal shithead.
>>720158286I'm the courier, i don't play your games, i carve my path
i couldn't even get to the gold without cheating. hardest game ever
>>720236895whenever i do another playthrough it's just>dead money what a slog>owb what a slog >lonesome road another railroaded slog>honest hearts, here's a fun little minimap that doesn't take too long and i get a .45/survivalist rifle + FORGIVE ME MAMA it's the only one i like to replay just thinking about the schoolhouse bullshit in OWB with that terrible bazinga writing..
>>720236723shoulda fucking known
>>720236895All other tribals were armed and ready to fight.Their war-chief surrendered.You were convincing Joshua Graham to not kill an umarmed man.
>>720161430OWB used to be the weakest for me, but after replaying it recently it's pushed LR down to 4th for me.DM still the GOAT.
>tfw every dlc is a slog
>>720237320Dead Money I think is the best from a writing standpoint but I gotta be in the mood to actually play it because of how mechanically different it is from the rest of the game.
Okay now rate the fallout 3 and 4 dlcs.
>>720199905Based. The fuck Sawyer gonna do?
>>720237102I used to have a mega repository of all of GUNs mods. I'll check when I'm home in an hour and post it if thr threads still up
>>720158286it was asking you are you willing to drop your new armor and weapons for unlimited funds. not some deep introspective conundrum.
me after i walk shitassed home with all the gold bars and absolutely no way to sell them
>>720238102I always cleaned out the Gun Runners of all their unique weapons to decorate my bases with even if I didn't use them
>>720237525Point Lookout is the only decent FO dlc from Shitesda
>>720238184i think The Sink is the only merchant that can afford a gold bar but in a twist of irony is one of the most notoriously bugged merchants that will take your items but not give you the caps
>made more than the gold bars are worth by level 20 with modest repair and barter skills
>>720238570i find it fun to continue to buff my riches throughout the entire playthroughthere is absolutely no need to have so much money and you are probably fucking their economy to bits
>>720238541you don't trade for caps, you barter for the weapons with a bar or two and keep the rest. you bring a bar with you when you want to clean out an expensive shop's inventory
>>720237525Fallout 3:Point Lookout > The Pitt > Broken Steel > Operation: Anchorage > Mothership ZetaFallout 4:Nuka-World > Far Harbor > Automatron
>>720238840i downloaded a few Junk Round mods and i ended up breaking down bottle caps into scrap metal for more Junk Rounds.
>>720239096Nuka World is ass tho
>>720239190It is, but Far Harbor and Automatron are even more ass.
>>720239096Nuka world has a boring into sequence, then you kill all of the raiders, then you just go around cleaning up locations and doing side quests like in the rest of the game. The raiders are just even whinier and more annoying settlers.
>>720239464I think Far Harbor is slightly less ass
Have any of you niggas actually read the book
>>720237525i had the most fun in the pitt with a female pc and my totally heterosexual modlist
>>720239561i seen a youtube short on itsomething about a bible and a knife and then i got bored and watched touhou porn on a random booru
>>720239546>DLC meant to humanise synths>Accidentally proves that the BOS were 100% based and correct the entire timeIt's still better than Nuka-World.
>>720240043Absolutely ridiculous they tried so hard to get me to sympathize with the synths. I had them all exterminated.>B-but le fog will kill da humans without ze synths!Move somewhere else then, nigga
>>720239546That fucking virtual world bullshit automatically drops it to the bottom of the shit tier.
>>720239096i agree with this guy
>>720196825>>720198621Just wear protection
>>720239523At least Nuka-World has a somewhat interesting amusement park setting instead of being a shitty fog covered island.
>>720197404Hell even if you don't break the bank at the casino you can just collect clothes and cigarettes for chipsEven a few repair kits will have you make a fortune
>>720236801It's nowhere near worse than the main game. HH's small enough its areas all actually get used during the time you're there, whereas the base game has 95% of the map become completely worthless the second you complete one single pass because they decided not to have repeating random encounters in the world besides the legion/ncr assassin squads.
>>720240029It has a cool train massacre chapter if you're interested in that at least
