it's not the greatest Fallout DLC. Obsidian is releasing 3 more DLC addons.

So, I finally got the gumption to mod and play the game, and just about got it all worked out. But now my texture packs arent working. Everything else is working great, except just old textures show rather than my nice HD ones. Even gone as far as a fresh install with only the texture packs installed (of course archive invalidated) and they just don't show up, I'm lost, any ideas here?

When you complete "Dead Money" can you free roam? And is it worth me 'buying'?

Why i have to pay for DLC is beyond me.

Guys, if I go psycho on the NCR, do they lock me out of Gun Runners?
Also, because of my bad karma with NCR, they keep warning me to improve my relations, if I ignore them, do they overwhelm me and kill me, or just send rangers after me...?

I'm surprised by many of the comments regarding GFX, as Vegas went backwards on FO3 by a noticeable margin....

Dude you miss out on so much! The WW perk makes it almost feel like the original Fallouts.

Theres some good mods out there that gives you the WW perk & you can still pick the 2 @ the start due to a large number of people (myself included) who think it shouldve been given freely. Check the nexus for it..works like a charm.

This + Hardcore mode is a must actually. Played it at first without the two and it felt like a decent game. Then I played with them both and everything skyrocketed.

Thread bumping for suggestions for lore-friendly songs to go with this mod. I was also gonna say fuck it and add the entire Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Queen, U2 and some other studio discographies since it allows for 32,000 songs.
But this is more for lore-friendly suggestions to use with this mod. Thanks!
