Dead Money is one that I find no one has middling opinions on: either you liked it a lot, or thought it was horrible garbage.

I just don't see why anyone who likes fallout, doesn't like dead money. it's basically the most fallout-esque of all the dlcs, thematically.

Yeah it was over the top and the actual gameplay was aggravating since everything in Big MT is a bullet sponge, but goddamn if I wasn't laughing non-stop.

Exploration is ill-advised.
The FNV DLCs are mostly designed to make you play something other than a sneaky sniper

Dead Money as a tanky Unarmed character is loving hilarious.

The sad thing is that most people only know fallout from the 3 and 4, and have never played the original.

The VATS system seems really dumbed down.

I started a play through NV just to get a handle on the system. I think I'm going to recreate my character as a smart, smooth talking, melee master. I'm assuming I'll be able to get to 10 strength in the end game with power armor or whatever so I'll only have like 5 str to start with, and High Int, High Agility and of course some Luck.

VATS seems ok, it's a lot more smooth then the combat system of Fallout2 where it was often impossible to leave combat so you'd have to just kill a whole village just to leave the map.

because it has utter garbage gameplay. the loving collar and the radios are annoying as gently caress to deal with. I’ve played it a couple times and I still end up dying on some of the later sections of shielded radios.

honest hearts did the take your equipment away better too, since it let you take only 100 lbs of stuff instead of nothing.

one of the more interesting implications that was lost in the bad translation was that sephiroth was dead by the time the actual game started and every time you see him in the present-time it's basically just jenova bits wiggling around in his shape to mess with you

The writers have said that isn't the case unfortunately, I think it's closer to "there is no meaningful distinction between Jenova and Sephiroth, they are one entity by the time the game happens"

I think Sephiroth gets kind of a bad rap too, people think of him as some edgelord, but really he was torn away from his mother as an infant and raised as a child soldier by Anime Mengele. Him snapping and turning serial killer wasn't exactly unrealistic even setting aside Jenova.
