Luckily though, I am The Courier and a few buckshots into my assassin’s armour won’t stop me. Eyes wide open and the excitement of this set piece thrumming through me, I actually felt surprised and endangered by the situation. Like a scene from any great western movie, the ambushers appeared from nowhere and were shooting from ledges high up in the cliffs it was clear we didn’t stand a chance. Being so soon into the DLC, this was unexpected and as I was still taking in the stark change of scenery when the first couple of caravan guards fell. Huzzah for the Strong Back perk!Īfter a small cutscene, you regain control of The Courier and need to defend yourself against a raid.
Making my choice, my limit was then increased to 100 pounds. As I agonised over my inventory decisions, reluctantly ditching my power armour, I went back to check the encumbrance limit and discovered a couple of extra dialogue options. Predictably, I had to lose my companions, another DLC staple for Fallout, but this time I wasn’t suddenly stripped naked or told to go in a disguise this time I could take 70 pounds of equipment with me and dump the rest in a handy box by the cave wall that, miraculously, no-one would find or steal during my absence. Should you wish to answer the summons, you’ll find yourself travelling far north of New Vegas to meet with a rag-tag bunch of people from the Happy Trails Caravan Company. Basically it was just terrible, and that’s all you need to know.Īs is the case with every Fallout 3/New Vegas DLC to date, you are made aware of the new content via a radio signal picked up by your trusty Pip Boy. You were also stripped of all Mojave equipment and companions. It was short in content with the playtime drawn out using methods like insta-death traps, invincible enemies and retracing your steps. In case you missed Dead Money, developed amnesia, or are one of those irritating commentards that feels the need to add “I’m waiting for the GOTY edition” to every piece of online coverage then here is what you’ve missed in a nutshell: Dead Money was a harshly unforgiving, dull DLC set in a separate area to the Mojave.
I paused before pressing the confirm purchase button as I was less than impressed by the previous offering, Dead Money, so you can forgive my trepidation as I watched the download bar eek its way across my screen. After what seemed like an eternity, a new DLC finally arrived for Fallout: New Vegas.
