Let's Plays and actually playing are two totally different experiences =\
On a side note, I keep hearing how great this DLC is and I'm stuck at work! Grrrr
This expansion looks amazing.
I've never finished a Fallout expansion but I'm getting close to the end of Dead Money. Can anyone answer me this: when you're put back into the Nevada wasteland after having completed an expansion, do you get to keep the special weapons/gear you picked up during the expansion?

In Dead Money if you don't take the special/unique weapons, you can't go back anymore to take them. Honest Hearts works fine and Old World Blues said you can go back after you finish the DLC. At the moment I can say that Old Blues is so massive. I got a feeling of being in Far Cry last level with all those creatures everywhere I step. Sweet!
And I want to tell that you don't need to take so much ammo, 100 bullets for each weapon is enough, I took 150 & 200 and I'm already full because you can find anything you need in the DLC with lots of ammo as well.

This is going to sound weird but... somehow I never got the Cyberdog gun. It sounds like it's supposed to be a really early weapon? I'm 4 hours into the DLC, and I've been upgrading the Sonic Emitter but somehow I must have completely missed the Cyberdog gun. Not that I really need it since I'm currently playing with a Melee + Energy Weapons character, but I wonder what I missed.
The Proton Axe... is awesome btw.

One of those 5 brain robots will give it to you. I don't remember exactly from which one I got it because all kinds of quests where falling down on my left screens with other aids, ammo and weapons I had many typical answers of those you need 30/60 skills or 5/7 special for example.
The weapon has
that can go far way and hit long range enemies. 
Yes, you can check how hemtae said.

I think playing them in order would be a pretty good idea, yeah. I usually save them for the endgame, too: right before the battle of Hoover Dam.zkylon said:
For Dead Money, a high level (at least 20) is a must. The Ghost People will turn you into bloody goop otherwise. Honest Hearts isn't really all that difficult in comparison. I'm not sure about OWB, as I'm just in the opening stages myself. But my character's level 40 already, so I probably won't run into much problems.

Aaaaah this makes sense.
So I didn't really miss the gun. It was tailored such that players would get what they needed based on their skill balances if they actually bothered with the dialogue trees. I remember using a Energy Weapons skill check to get extra ammo for the Sonic Emitter instead.
Finished the DLC, and I enjoyed it a lot, best one so far for New Vegas, they just keep topping themselves. Loved the old-school sci-fi feel, the writing in this DLC is really funny as well, the Think Tank, Dr Mobious, the talking appliances in The Sink (the toaster and biological research machine especially).
You can find it in X-12 Research Center but you need to have upgraded the Sonic Emitter to disable force fields.
You can still get it in other ways, I found two other ones (apart from the one I got at the beginning through a skill check).duckroll said:Aaaaah this makes sense.So I didn't really miss the gun.

I'm not a fan of making enemies tough just for the sake of being tough, but I have to say I'm liking the variety of enemies I'm getting so far: the roboscorpions are hilarious (though deadly), and the Trauma Override Harness enemies are just... Well, pretty horrifying, actually.
The Night Stalkers appear to be tougher than I remember, though. I hate enemies suffering from the Point Lookout-syndrome.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, though, I just encountered a Securitron that, while tough, didn't do any damage at all. He kept firing at me, and I just shrugged the bullets off like they were rain.

Just bought Old World Blues on Xbox Live.
Still need to finish Honest Hearts to gain access to this DLC, I know what I have to do after work this evening.

I'm at level 41 right now and things like Nightstalkers have 600 HP (I have anatomist), same with the Mark IV and higher roboscorpions. I ran into a cazador with 550 hp. Wish I brought an assault carbine to this, especially for the robots. Was not expecting everything to scale or something so much.Blue Ninja said:

Yeah, I'm mainly using the All American, though I have my Assault Carbine with me as well. My hunting rifle and hunting shotgun served me well during Honest Hearts, but they can't help me now.Sober said:
I also
just encountered a hostile pet Deathclaw. I want a friendly pet Deathclaw, and I want him stat.
Also discovered a Hazmat suit like the ones the Ghost People wear in Dead Money, but couldn't get to it yet, as it's locked inside a forcefield.
I'm really digging all the throwbacks to Dead Money, really helps connect the DLC's to Lonesome Road. Now I feel like Honest Hearts is the odd one out. :lol

What's the average time for a run through? Anyone know yet?
I'm hoping for Sierra Madresque stuff - heavy story, more difficult missions.

Broken Steel was such an overt slap in the face, gah, I hated it. That entire batch of DLC (excluding PL) was one big clumsy mess.
Man, I'm really torn on this. On the one hand, it's New Vegas, and I know I will love it. On the other, I just blew my monthly budget on the Summer sale. Alas, I may just wait and pick up this and Lonesome Road together, and have one big send off.

Just finished, I have to say they really outdid themselves. I thought they wouldn't be able to top Honest Hearts but they proved me wrong. It looks like Bethesda/Obsidian finally understand what is great about the fallout games and are focusing on giving us more of that.

is there something else I specifically have to do to upgrade various things in The Sink? I've found the auto-doc tape, but when I go up to auto-doc, it doesn't act as if I've done anything

I don't have it yet. :lol I've been exploring, though I'm going to have to re-explore everything once I get that gun.MrTroubleMaker said:I didn't bother trying to unlock it, just shoot the field with the upgraded sonic weapon
Also, when I encountered the
Cazadores in the Z-14 Splicing Lab... Let's just say I thanked Science for my Assault Carbine.
Have you activated the auto-doc? You need to find the activation holo-tape and put it in, then you can upgrade different machines.BlackSalad said:
I think OWB is the best one so far, the environment, the items, the writing, all top notch.Lakitu said:
Love the stealth suit, we are best friends forever, she told me that herself
As for stealth weapons there is a silenced sniper rifle that used to belong to
