I did not really know what the DLC was about before I started playing other than it involved robbing a casino. The real challenge is getting into the casino and then into the vault to rob the place.\u00a0 The actual robbery takes just a few minutes. I don&#8217;t want to spoil any more of the story but I actually really enjoyed it.\u00a0 What most surprised me about the DLC was how much fut it was to completely change my play style to deal with the enemies and challenges. I normally avoid up close combat in Fallout, but in Dead Money that was not an option.\u00a0 Maybe it was because I spent 30 levels (and over 40 hours) playing as a run and gun shooter, but for whatever reason the complete change in tactics really rang home for me.\u00a0 I&#8217;m looking forward to whatever DLC they make next for Fallout: New Vegas and would recommend giving Dead Money a try.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was luck enough to get a chance to review the Dead Money DLC for Fallout: New Vegas for VGRevolution.
