dead money is bad. sorry. maybe theres some other part you like about it like the characters or writing or whatever and thats really cool, but its boring and everything looks the same and you backtrack constantly and its full of annoying mechanics like death fog and those dumb loudspeakers that kill you if you dont move fast enough and those guys that stay alive unless you gib them.

Why do so many people have trouble with the speakers and the ghost people.

the speakers arent hard. theyre just a bad and annoying mechanic, much like fog that deals damage over time and enemies that are only vulnerable if you kill them in a very specific way.

and all of that is on top of the bland, samey maze you have to backtrack through. its not a good gameplay experience

i understand and respect people's opinion when they say they enjoy the atmosphere or story or whatever, tho. i agree, those parts are very excellent.

The fog and other elements add a constant danger that turns even a wasteland god into a vulnerable baby. It's cool as hell. Ghost people aren;t even hard to kill htough. Cut that weak poo poo out, or take a hike.

yes i agree that it is cool as hell to turn a wasteland god into a vulnerable baby, my complaint is that it could have been handled in a much better way than the dumb and annoying mechanics they chose to use

on further reflection, my real problem with dead money isn't really dead money, it's with the lovely and horrible engine the game was made on. if gamebryo wasn't total poo poo then maybe obsidian could have achieved the feel they were going for with dead money without having to rely on mechanics that are annoying

I think it's cool that they did something totally different with the atmosphere of the game. They kinda went halfway there with LR, but being able to fast travel and leave at your leisure diluted it.

agreed
