Points:
- Nothing to scavenge of any monsters.
- No footlockers.
- No energy weapons.
- Maps do not work.
- You must use all your Speech to keep your team together.

If Bethesda is only going to release DLC to certain consoles why even bother to have a DLC suggestion thread?

Uhm... What?

1. I mean to say no drop items off fallen monsters or characters. I believe a DLC game should be more focused on moments of nonstop combat... and moving on quickly to the story...or more combat, or comedy relief..like something quirky.

2. For the gameplay experience of attrition and greater immersion I'd like for there to be no scavenging, so no footlockers, drop boxes, containers etc at all.. just a long dusty broken road and your ever diminishing supplies you originally set out with. Plus shooting lots of stuff without scavenging would be refreshing.

3. No energy weapons due to... say a magnetic storm zone due to residual pole shifting activity. So no cheaty Alien Blaster, or anything too bright...just bullets, and lots of 'em.

4. If you wander of the broken path, your GPS doesnt work... and the map constantly re sets so its possible you can wander off forever lost...but eventually die.

5. Speech skill should be used to keep your team together, if say a member wants to turn back, take over, or loses it..etc. Dialogue should be complex and tricky too to add dimension to the gameplay experience. If you fail a dialogue attempt then their should be definite consequences (death, diminished combat capacity, member going berserk).

More Weapons a whole new region,more enemys and factions,quests....

:jaw drops:

Uhm... You're actually going to get all of that. >_>

Dead Money
More weapons: Bear Trap Fist.
Sierra Madre Casino/town as a new region.
New ghost people for enemies and is their own faction.
And of course quests that tie in the storyline of Dead Money.

I am a Pc User so i wont get them fast...

You start as some other guy for the DLC, you do not continue your previous character and the DLC has nothing to do with the main game.

We sure as hell know they didn't make enough crap to stretch the DLC over 35 levels.

So there's no need for those extra 5 levels in the DLC either.

Unless they're planning to have the new guy start at level 30 and then give you 5 levels to actually level yourself, which is quite frankly stupid (not to mention lazy). If that's the case, they could have simply started the DLC guy at 25 and let you level to 30.

"From a gameplay standpoint, Dead Money is accessed by loading a save file from any point in Fallout: New Vegas prior to the endgame sequence, in the same way as Operation Anchorage, Point Lookout, The Pitt or Mothership Zeta were triggered in Fallout 3."

"The Courier is lured to the Sierra Madre by a faint radio broadcast advertising the gala grand opening."

Eh?

Ah.My understanding was it was going to be separate. My bad.

Still see no reason for a level increase when we know the DLC will most likely be only an hour or so of actual gameplay.

If existing NPC's or new NPC's get to use them then sure.
But if only we, the players, get to use them then hell no.
I really hate it that there are weapons that only we, the players, use.
I've hated it since Fallout 1 and hope they will finally allow every single weapon in the game to be used by various generic spawning humanoids.

Hmm.

Hey Obsidain, mind adding a new faction in the wastes which use completely random weapons and start showing up at lvl 20 around a lot of places in the wasteland?
From 9mm pistol to grenade machine gun, these guys and gals will use everything. (Except mines, I don't know if NPC's can plant mines or how their AI would work with that)
I wouldn't mind it if they had about as much info as Vipers have in the game (none) but it would be better with some new dialogue or holodisks explaining a teeny weeny bit about them.
This faction could really switch up the gameplay.
One time you're meeting four of them with knife, sawed off shotgun, plasma pistol, flamer and the next time you might meet eight of them but this time with knife, riot shotgun, scoped hunting rifle (Yes, these guys are allowed to use modded weapons as well), plasma grenades, brass knuckles, grenade launcher.
It would mean that sometimes these guys can pose a real threat.

And if not completely random, how about them spawning at lvl 1 but gaining leveled equipment alongside the player?
So that by lvl 30 the only items they will use are the top of the line weaponry like multiplas rifle, grenade machine gun, ballistic fist, AMR, super sledge etc.

This faction would also wear either random armor (if going by the first example) or leveled armor.

Where should they spawn?
These guys take over other npc's and creature spawns temporarily.
So for example, at the first dry lake there are tons of giant ants.
But when you go there you might meet this faction who has replaced their spawns.
After you kill them and wait three days the spawned creature will once again be giant ants.
If this is too complicated and can't be done then just add at least 30 new spawns for these guys around the wastes.

Don't get me wrong.
I don't want this faction to be it's own DLC.
But rather have this faction be included as a bonus with Dead Money or Honest Hearts.

One problem I see with this is that we might have it too easy to earn money by killing them.
So how about this, these guys have explosives on them which are rigged to a small heart monitor so that when they die they automatically blow up into tiny pieces and all equipment they have will be lost. (I think I saw this on a Lost episode.)
Why they do this? Maybe they don't want their enemy to get the upper hand if one of their members were to die.
You can still pick-pocket their stuff though but they have a raised awareness so it might prove more challenging than with regular npc's.

This faction might actually be a faction that is challenging to meet.

1. So... You want a DLC which is probably going to be 1 to 2 hours for some people to be even shorter?

2. So you want cod/battlefield/halo?

3. That's fair.... Not. Shouldn't force people to play as a Guns character for a DLC..

4. That would be frustrating as hell and would make the DLC incredibly annoying.

5. Complex dialogue is a yes please.

1. It's about the quality of adventure, gameplay.. not qauntity. I could inadvertently not encounter enemies in NV for 30 minutes at a time...and even then when I'd encounter enemies they'd die too easily. I'd want a real adventure, with bigger more vicious enemies..and on average have more frequent enemy encounters...and longer durations of combat. AND.. I could easily find ways of stretching out gameplay to 4 to 5 hours... such as stopping at an abandoned truck stop for the night, being attacked, and then go shooting, and exploring an underground monster cave network...could be all sorts of interesting things down in that cave network..such as other characters..old world quirks.

2. Now I love Halo..but...weapons, armour, health were plentiful in that game. NV combat is more survival horror, and should use storytelling as a crutch and gameplay enricher. It can be done and still be a Betheseda Fallout game.

3. Why not? NV forced players to play guns (Sni-Ri) as the energy weapons were drastically watered down in power, rarer, and were frequently wearing down too fast to be of reliable and continued use. Only the Plasma Caster, Alien Blaster redeem the energy weapons skill...the gatling laser is cool, but laughable.

4. Answer: Turn back and slog it on the path. If a player cannot do this, then they should pick up and play Oblivion instead.

5. Indeed.

Okay i agree with what you are saying, but if NPC's could use the weapons im hoping they would also drop ammo as well. Not just standard ammo but also surplus ammo or even Armour piercing or hollow tipped rounds from 9mm - .50.
