Notes From New Vegas 25: WE'RE BACK
Dec. 31st, 2011 01:55 pmNotes From New Vegas 25: Welcome Back, We're Going To Hell
Hi, everybody. I promised I'd pick this series up again someday, and I think now that all the DLC is out and I've played through it all I can go back to Janice and her adventures for those of you who're still interested. For those of you who haven't been here before, allow me to link you to prior entries in this series:
Note 1: OW OW OW MY HEAD OW
Note 2: Stitch, Noooo
Note 3: Pants 'Em If They Can't Take A Joke
Note 4: Anywhere But Primm
Note 5: Mr. Scary Dog Hat Man, Also, Bugs
Note 6: OH GOD WHERE DID THE BLUE THING COME FROM
Note 7: AUGH ROBOT WTF
Note 8: Come Fly With Me
Note 9: The *Other* New Vegas, Only... Not
Note 10: I Really Wish I Had A Title I Could Put Here
Note 11: Horrible Solar Burny Death? Woo!
Note 12: YAY PUNCHINGS
Note 13: The Terrible Secret Of Vault OH HELL NO
Note 14: Okay, Okay, I'm Doing The Main Plot Now
Note 15: Wait, No, I Lied, Sorry
Note 16: QUESTS QUESTS QUESTS YAY QUESTS
Note 17: I Swear, If We Find Orks Down Here...
Note 18: Possibly Not The Best Overlap Ever
Note 19: Is One Sane Technology Company Too Much To Ask
Note 20: Jamie Want Big Boom
Note 21: ARRRRGH HATE THIS VAULT HATE HATE HATE
Note 22: Okay, Now You're Just Being A Jerk
Note 23: AGAIN? What, AGAIN?
Note 24: I Knew The Reavers, The Reavers Were Enemies Of Mine... You, Sir, Are No Reaver
Originally this was the tale of my first character to get through the game, and as such had no downloadable content elements in it anywhere. I've changed my mind since then, as I rather like the story elements of the downloadable content. We'll still get through the whole game eventually, we're just... drastically padding out the length of the series. And adding extra stuff, because dang, some of that DLC makes for a fun time. Increased level caps, new Traits and Perks, new equipment, etc. There were four story downloadable content packs and two 'hey, have more stuff' packs. The first story pack to come out was the hardest in terms of difficulty, and came with a warning that it was meant for experienced Couriers of level twenty or higher.... which means that it sucks to be Janice because I'm putting her through it first anyway.
( Spoilers for Fallout New Vegas ahead. Dead Money DLC, specifically. )
