Big Bottom Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 I really want to play through FO:NV but I don't really want to pay the premium prices for the Ultimate Edition when I can buy the standard one for a few quid. Do you guys think the DLC is really worth paying the extra cash bearing in mind it costs around five times as much? Thankyou thankyou. The best flash game ever!
AGX-17 Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 inb4 deleted and redirected to Bethesda's forums. NV ultimate edition is currently $11.99 on Steam. that's about 10% of what you would have paid for the game at launch and all the individual DLC when they were released. If you're not playing on PC, well... What are you even doing?
Nonek Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 Yes, this is one of the few examples of dlc that I think was done right. They each add to the base game, the level cap ecetera and are by themselves amazing additions to the game. Each very different but of the utmost quality one can wring from the engine, and explore interesting themes and locations. Worth the money, no doubt in my mind, especially in comparison to most dlc. 2 Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin. Tea for the teapot!

Big Bottom Posted June 27, 2014 Author Posted June 27, 2014 OK thanks...I really wanted to play it on Xbox in the comfort of my living room, so I'm looking at the more expensive option! (and the sticky at the top of the forum said it was ok to talk about FO:NV here) The best flash game ever!
Guest Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 I feel a little ridiculous saying this, as I bought the DLC twice, but no, it probably isn't worth it. As far as DLC go, they are fantastic, however like 99% of all DLC they will completely jack up the narrative.
Humanoid Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 They're among the better DLCs for any game out there, but the way it turned out is such that I only ever got around to playing one of them and don't feel the urge to start a new game to get to the others. Which is probably a useless non-committal answer for the purposes of this thread. For a 400% markup, I wonder if it'd not be technically more efficient to just buy the base game for now and save the DLC for when a really good special comes along. But I don't know how that works on console, admittedly. L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G
kirottu Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 (edited) I think they are worth the price and I hate Dead Moneys collar beeping parts. I also would recommend getting it for PC for mods. I have Mission Mojave(giant bug fix), New Vegas Stutter remover and New Vegas Anti-Crash, and the game runs smooth as baby kitten. Edit: Oh, and Mission Mojave requires all the dlc.

Lexx Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 Should have bought it last year when it was 5 € for everything in a steam sale. The DLCs are very worth it and they don't influence the main games narrative at all. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
Guest Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 The DLCs are very worth it and they don't influence the main games narrative at all. This is the problem. The thing that I dislike about DLC is that they introduce new narratives. At some point the player is asked to choose one over others and the "switching back and forth" can be jarring (and frustrating) for players that look to narrative above all other factors. To be honest, vanilla NV had enough of this already. Don't get me wrong, I love the game. I finished a 60-hour run the week before last. But it does have flaws.
Humanoid Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 Well pertinently for the PC, it's worth buying them even with no intent to play them, if only because Josh's mod requires them. So I guess not only is the DLC for console more expensive, it's missing the most important perk PC owners get for buying them. L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G
Big Bottom Posted June 28, 2014 Author Posted June 28, 2014 Well friends I have solved the issue by bringing my desktop into the living room and ordering a bunch of cables and stuff so I can plug it into the TV...don't know why I didn't do this ages ago...thanks for your helpful opinions! The best flash game ever!
