Obisidian, as the developer, and Bethesda Softworks, as the publisher, have announced that the first piece of downloadable content for Fallout: New Vegas will be called Dead Money and will be launched on December 21 of this year, initially as an exclusive deal coming through Xbox Live.The developers are saying that the player will take on the role of a captured wastelander who must free himself and then work with another three comrades in order to track their captors and then recover the fabulous treasure of the
Sierra Madre Casino.
Dead Money is set to include new terrain to explore, new enemies to face and a lot more choices done in the trademark Obsidian manner.
The Dead Money DLC will cost 800 Microsoft Points, which is the equivalent of 10 dollars, and
Bethesda has not said when the PC and the PlayStation 3 will get the same content.
The description makes it sound like the new content is in no way connected to the main adventure in Fallout: New Vegas and the developers have not said whether any content can be exchanged between the two adventures.
Pete Hines, the vice president of public relations and marketing at Bethesda Softworks, has stated, “We’re pleased to give fans a chance to expand their experience in Fallout: New Vegas this December with Dead Money. The release of Dead Money illustrates our commitment to creating entertaining add-on content for players to enjoy in already massive games like Fallout: New Vegas.”
New Vegas is much more influenced by the traditional lore of the series than its predecessor Fallout 3 and manages to introduce a number of interesting factions and moral choices.
The game has been for the huge number of bugs it shipped with but given the scope of the experience the developers at Obsidian have developed a dedicated player can ignore or overcome them.
