Fallout: New Vegas may have been a huge game to explore as it was already, but I will never say no to having it further expanded on. Dead Money brings players to a town frozen in time, where the heist of the century is in the making; providing they can survive that is.
Dead Money is accessible from an abandoned Brotherhood of Steel Bunker at any point PRIOR to the final mission of the game; so right away those hoping that this would allow players to continue even after the game is done, ala Operation Anchorage, will be disappointed. However, what players find will be far worth the $10 price of entry.
Once inside the bunker, players will be knocked out; their companions will be gone and they’ll awake to find them stripped of their possessions, and a bomb color strapped to their neck. Welcome to Sierra Madre, town of the dead. Father Elijah, yes, THAT Father Elijah, greets you to this death trap of a ghost town ands explains that you’re here for the long haul; its play by his rules or die. You must assemble a team to break into the towns Vault and obtain its bountiful treasure. Which wouldn’t be too hard, if everything in the town wasn’t out to kill you. Players will traverse through poisonous fog, contend with traps rigged around nearly every corner, and fight a ghastly horde of fiends that require dismemberment to actually kill.
But wait, there’s more! Along side the new story and quests, the level cap is increased to level 35, and 10 new perks are obtainable, giving players far more options to fine tune their characters, and to jack them up to godly stats.
All in all, Dead Money is a must have for Fallout players. The interesting storyline, hostile new atmosphere, and added levels and perks are all good reasons as it is to get the DLC, however, there is one, MAJOR part of this DLC that can easily make the DLC worth a purchase for those who may have given up on New Vegas. No bugs. None. I played through the DLC twice, just to be sure, and it was amazing, the freezing was gone. And not only that but many of the problems that reportedly affected the 360 version of the DLC held no weight in the PS3 version. So go out there and buy this! Solid A!
