I'm finally getting around to starting New Vegas after having owned it for several months (bought it as some sort of package deal with that piece of poo poo Brink  , hopefully NV redeems that purchase.) I picked up all the DLC along the way whenever I saw that it was on a Steam sale.Should I play without the 4 expansion pack DLCs to begin with? I'm assuming that they will fill up my quest log as soon as I start the game just like Fallout 3 did and I'd prefer to not deal with that until I've worked my way through the main quest line. Or would that mean that I miss out on additional content that's added to the core game? (Not sure if those DLCs include extra weapons, perks, etc.) Are there any mods that would be considered essential for a first playthrough? I played all the way through FO3 GOTY with no mods and found it perfectly enjoyable.

Install the add-ons and play those. They include sweet weapons, but nothing as broken as the FO3 stuff, and you should have Gun Runners's Arsenal/Courier's Stash anyway for your gun needs. THEN you can add mods.

There are no mods that I would consider essential on the first playthrough except interface mods. Most people use the Darkui (or whatever it's called), I use this one personally: http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=34902 It just resizes the text and makes more dialogue options and such visible on the screen which means less scrolling.

Horse poo poo. So the thousands of mods, modding community, positive reviews for DLCs, and the fact that every person in my steam friends list owns this game. None if it matters.

One has to note that the game is widely owned, no doubt, more than a little bit thanks to the fact the retail price quickly cratered to $20; $10 on sale. One suspects that the publisher would much, much rather have sold those copies for $60/$50... With a higher metacritic score they probably wouldn't have turned the game into a loss leader for the DLC.

I seem to recall Bethesda being fairly generous with price drops over time, and I imagine even Skyrim will be subject to one faster than most $60 games. Of course, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, I remember reading that around a year ago...

It's not like this is really new for Obsidian. They're kind of a gun for hire in the industry. I imagine that a lot of their projects are there to give their people work and the hope that their success keeps them in work. Sad but true that their latest original IP endevour crashed and burned but from what I've read on the behind-the-scenes, they are partly to blame themselves for some of the bad decisions/management on the project. As a result, it likely killed a lot of the polish and bug testing time due to the extended development period to redo things and that showed in the review scores. It's really too bad that it had to be yet another rope kid project that got burnt though. Any more and soon we'll be able to make a somber drinking game out of it.

Whilst I am something of an AP apologist, I don't think it's outside the realm of possibility that a game like AP that starts slowly and values replayability would review badly because reviewers tend not to have time to play the game, certainly not replay the game. You can see that coming through when people claimed that it had no reactivity (unlike Mass Effect 2!). Also some of them were just frighteningly bad at it, if talk of "pistols are worthless" is anything to go by. The game needed more work, although it's not like more time and less interference would necessarily have created the perfect game - I personally liked the RPG style weapons which were only put in at Sega's insistence, apparently.

MrL_JaKiri posted:Also some of them were just frighteningly bad at it, if talk of "pistols are worthless" is anything to go by. ! AP pistol talk brings back a happy memory of fighting the bad-rear end old man mercenary who'd been built up as an incredibly deadly threat (the outdoor cafe conversation between the two of you was absolutely fantastic if you'd done your research) and just using the multi-shot ability to blast him multiple times in the head with my tranq-gun and put him out for the count, finishing the boss battle in a couple of seconds. It was fantastic, one of my pet peeves (and a reason I could never play SW:TOR) is Boss battles where you shoot 45 million laser beams into a guy's face till the last one makes him fall over. Shifting back to New Vegas, this was something that irritated me about Old World Blues since I was so high level when I did the DLC. The DLC itself was a blast, the story was great, the characters hilarious, but there were just way too many guys who needed several clips from the Dog Chain Gun to put down. I'm pretty sure there was more metal inside them than flesh by the time I was done.

To be fair the Dog Chain gun kind-of sucks. When it came to Old World Blues I ended up taking a non-melee character and power-levelling her through levels 11-23 with the Proton Inversal Axe, the Super-heated Saturnite Glove, and using the Sonic Emitter to cram down anything I couldn't get reliably close to. Couple that with the Q-whatever Matter Modulator (special Plasma Rifle) I found shortly after completing OWB, and I was able to mow through just about anything. Barely touched the Doggie Chain gun.

The Inverted Proton Axe was fantastic against robots, but from memory didn't do much of anything against the released lobotomites. I used the Doggie gun against them for two very important reasons: 1. They attacked in large enough numbers it felt more appropriate than using A Light Shining In The Darkness 2. The doggy whined sadly if I put it away for a different weapon

That's when I'd switch to the Saturnite Fist. What it lacked in the bonus against Lobomites it made up for in sheer speed; having the toaster super-heat it to add critical fire damage really made it "pop" too. It's weird, I own like 6 dogs but I never felt bad putting the doggie gun away. Hell I didn't feel bad making all the Rexie clones and sending them to their death just because I could. That's weird.

The dog gun sucks in OWB because ammo is sparse and the enemies are bullet spongey and more susceptible to literally everything else (energy weapons, melee, unarmed, hell even explosives). But bring it back to the Mojave and give it and thousands of rounds of ammo (Dead Money is great for this) to your preferred companion, and goddrat.
