Hello, Gunnetwork community.

I want to ask you a question - which is the best way to play DLC's and in which order? Mean, should i start playing them after i finished all stuff in the main game, or the best levels to start playing them, etc. I never finished completely Fallout: New Vegas or even  start any of the DLC's so please keep that in mind and don't spoil to me something i might not know.

Thanks for your attention!

Do these DLCs before you complete the main game, the game will warn you before you end the game so don't worry. The way they were supposed to be played.

1: Honest Hearts (Easiest, ideally start at low levels)
2: Old World Blues (Fairly moderate difficulty, ideally start at level 15-20)
3: Dead Money (Fairly Difficult, ideally start at level 20-25)
4: Lonesome Road (Difficult, ideally start at level 25+)

Hope I helped.

I think release order is the best way to play. OWB refferences stuff from DM, both DLCs tease at LR. Though I don't think HH matters too much in the timeline.
Though definitely hold Lonesome road for last.

Then report back and you can gush about them with me.

The normal recommendation is:

-HH
-OWB
-DM
-LR

However, that's not how I do them. I start off with LR right off the the bat. As soon as I reach Primm, I go to LR. I don't complete it, but I clear the first silo and nip at the first edge of town and loot everything. After that, I head back to the Mojave with a bunch of late-game guns, a couple thousand caps, riot gear, and ED-E's repair ability to maintain my new guns. It gives you a really good edge if you have any difficulty mods and/or playing on very hard, but getting through the start of LR may prove too hard. Then I play regular until I get to around level 10-12 and then start OWB. You would struggle a bit at first due to the low level, but you will level up pretty quickly. You don't necessarily need high skills in order to do most things in it so spend them however you want. Once you complete the DLC, you have a bunch of goodOWB quest perks like spineless(if you chose it) and the one where you can't cripple your head(if you chose it). After I level up a few levels while I gradually clear the starting areas of LR and make my way to the end. Constantly making trips back and raking in thousands of caps.

I save DM until I have high skills. The reason is because you can't return and your supplies are limited so you want them to be as good as can be. I save the fist of rawr until I get to the villa and then craft it which gives me an even better edge. With high stats, the DLC is smoother and you lower the possibility of missing valuables.

My order isn't the norm, but I think it's the most efficient and effective.

If you care about the difficulty, I'd recommend what the others recommended. If not, play them in the release date order because RARELY there'll be a dialogue option from playing the previous DLC.

All true, but If I was you I would download the skip dead money mod. Maybe it was just me but I can never play that one more then once. I hated it XD
