How much playtime out of DLC's?

[uberfrag+.]

How many hours playtime do you get from buying Dead Money, Honest Hearts, Old World Blues and Lonesome Road? A year or 2 ago I bought FNV, later I bought CaravanPack, ClassicPack, TribalPack, Courier's Stash & Gun Runners Arsenal so I am missing 4 big DLC's. Is it worthed to rebuy the game by buying FNV Ultimate Edition?

[CRACKHEAD MORRISSEY]

Not sure how long they are EXACTLY, but Honest Hearts is fairly short while the other 3 are a bit longer.
But yes, please, buy the DLC's for this game. They're better than the core game IMO.

I average about 15 hours per run of the cycle. But yes, the DLCs when played in order are the best part of the game.

Buy them now you wont regret it!

What is the correct order? And when is the best time to begin the DLC quests? I'm only level 10 now. Thanks for your help, going to rebuy the game for dlc's.

For story, complete Veronica and ED-E's quests first and reach level 20. Then play the DLCs in release order: Dead Money, Honest Hearts, Old World Blues, Lonesome Road. That's the intended sequence from the devs. Finally, keep the following two points in mind: (1) How does one let go? and (2) What makes a nation? Those are the two themes that the story and associated philosophy of the cycle revolve around; first for the NPCs you'll meet and ultimately for The Courier himself. Prepare to have your mind blown by the writing.

"Correct" order is Dead Money, Old World Blues, Lonesome Road, with Honest Hearts slotting in whenever you feel like it. Lonesome Road is kinda ♥♥♥♥♥ though.

Level doesn`t matter much, but the game will reccomend a minimum level when you attempt to start one of the DLCs.

Thanks for your answers guys, I bought it :) Altough now I'm still hesitating with the order, 2 different answers, waiting for other people to answer that part.

some of the dlcs i beat but i bought them all of the DLC for mods and why not ust buy all dlc

[ultinas]

For the order it's dead money first, Old world blues and then Lonesome Road, since the stories in them kinda tie eachother in some sort of way. Honest Hearts is not really tied but still very good, it's story is tied to the burning man from the Legion. Also, some companions may be tied a little to the DLCs so it might be a good idea to do their sidequests first aswell. Enjoy, those DLCs have alot of content in them. (by the way, dead money is th one in the bunker with the radio... if i remember right its near one of the legion camps, east of the map. the second, old world blues is in a cinepark south west i think, lonesome road would be through a mine, north of the map, a caravan will hire you as bodyguard, as for the last... i cant really remember, sorry... anyways, enjoy

What makes this order more correct than the one mentioned by Two Bears?

It is based on the connection of the story in Honest Hearts. Dead Money, Old World Blues and Lonesome Road are directly linked in story sequence via their endings and associated character development. Honest Hearts has no explicit and direct reference. hgh believes that it fits anywhere in the order of play. I feel that it fits best in the number 2 slot. Basically just a minor difference of opinion.

DLC adds over a hundred hours to my gameplay. yeah, i'm a scrounger. if it's there, i'll find it and exploit it!

[talgaby]

LR has an explicit and direct reference to the story of HH in the form of the collectible audio logs. A small one though.
By the way, HH is probably the easiest to do first, since it doesn't even give you an official level recommendation when you start it, unlike all other DLCs, and it's genuinely easy even at level 2-3. The only problem is that its starting point is the furthest away from where the game starts, so it'll take quite some time before you stumble upon it.

Not to mention you'll get that swanky Survivalist's Rifle along with Salt-Upon-Wounds' power fist. Fairly easy + getting two pretty good weapons for guns and melee? Not a bad deal. A Light Shining in Darkness and the .45 SMGs aren't awful, though I personally don't use them at all.

[talgaby]

Light Shining in the Darkness is one of the best all-around weapons in the game and hands down the best vanilla pistol, putting the famed ranger Sequoia to shame.

Cool tips :) I can't see any level requirements with the 4 dlc quests I received, they just all show up in my questlog without requirement, maybe I already met them, I'm lvl 12 now.
