What is the DLC supposed to be like, though?

 

[Elwro]

I wonder when Obsidian will decide to sell even the first one in Poland.

 

[Jaesun]

That is Bethesda's Job Elwo.

Is Obsidian doing these DLC's?

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

I don't like that we're less than a week away from new FNV DLC and they have said absolutely nothing about it. Not even screenshots.

 

[J_C]

That's all well and good, but I still can't buy the first DLC for PC goddamit! Hello, Bethesda! Eastern Europe is part of the world you know.

 

[Elwro]

Why they don't release Dead Money for English Steam versions bought in Poland and other countries in the Eastern Europe (some are in the EU) is beyond me. It's not like they have to translate anything, it's the same language version ffs. I feel succesfully trolled since I really like the main game and I'd like to send more $ to the company. But no, apparently they have some different notion of profit.

Get a Steam sugar daddy to buy shit for you. I buy stuff on Steam for a buddy in Germany, since the US prices are typically cheaper even after Paypal fees, plus then he gets the uncensored version usually.

Could it be gifted to you by someone who doesn't live in potatoland?

Edit: ^ What he said.

It'll most likely feauture Joshua Graham (the Burned Man) a companion who was supposed to be in Van Buren. Was mentionend a few times in Vanilla New Vegas, good stuff. Maybe we'll see parts of New Canaan too.

Jup, though it's likely that some of the Bethesda Jerks write some Barklines for the NPC. (Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter... )


Just hope that this doesn't turn out to be a hoax, as the were was no promotion done before, no screenshots etc. Very unlikely for Bethesda.

 

[Elwro]

Could it be gifted to you by someone who doesn't live in potatoland?

Maybe it could, but I want to be treated like a normal customer.

 

[Xor]

If the DLC is coming in a few days, why hasn't there been more information on it?

 

[Jaesun]

THis is supposedly fake. Will confirm once source of fake is confirmed.

 

[Surf Solar]

Yeah. As said, it's not Bethesda Style to keep the hypemachine so low. 't would be very surprising though if they pull a ninja on this one. It's about time for something new, if they really want to do 5 DLC - with this timespan they won't be ready when Fallout 4 comes out.

[UPDATE] Bethesda responds to the leaked DLC rumors!

"The info in that story is not correct. We will be letting people know the plan for upcoming Fallout: New Vegas DLCs in the next couple of weeks," says a Bethesda rep.

Well, at least we'll get the real details about New Vegas' DLC very soon.

 

[Surf Solar]

Hah. Knew it. Thanks Jeasun!

I really wonder why it takes them so long this time, quite worrying.

 

[The Ninth Circle]

Dead Money any good? Haven't gotten around to it.

For reference, I loved NV.

 

[Surf Solar]

Dead Money is really good. I've enjoyed parts of it (the writing, namely) even more then the main game.

 

[Forest Dweller]

Yes but does it have new achievements?

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Yes but does it have new achievements?

It SURE DOES! And I've already got all of them.
