A: NO, once you leave the bunker, you cannot go back again. Make sure you do what you have to do inside the Sierra Madre before leaving.

A: Once you downloaded the DLC, wait for a day in-game and the quest will appear. Head to the Abandoned SOS Bunker and investigate the radio signal you received. When you go inside, your companions will leave your party and you will start a completely new adventure in Sierra Madre.

  1. the ghosts are VERY hard to kill. even when you kill them they will get back up unless you blow them up slice them up or blow thier head of with a gun

  2. @garret make sure you have speach and science above 60 play the tape to bring “God” and convince him hes the only one to do the task by picking those two types shown above if it isnt science if im wrong still gotta be at least 60

  3. *SPOILER*
    Just completed this new content and I was kind of disappointed. All the talk about the treasures of the Sierra Madre and there was nothing! The Treasure in the actual vault is so heavy, it’s value isn’t worth it weight. Most/all vendors don’t even have the caps to trade for it. The only thing I have to take away is the rifle you get when you arrive and it doesn’t compare to the other weapons I had before I started this dlc

  4. Like John said, this was fairly disappointing. There are no real rewards for doing the quest other than the story. It was the most difficult of any of the Fallout quests, definitely. Something difficult can be gratifying, but only when you receive something for your work. This was kinda like a beautiful woman telling you she will have sex with you if you burn your eyes out with a hot piece of metal, but then runs away laughing after you go through with it. Still raises the level cap, which is cool, and the assassin’s armor is ok, but there really aren’t any other items of any salt. 5/10. New Vegas is still a high 8/10, overall in my opinion though.

  5. did any one see the value in caps of the gold bars was pissed i took 6 bars as it was all i could carry with all the other iteams i had allready but was totaly pissed as when i left the bunker the gold was removed :(

    The DLC is fine, you just missed the whole point is all. It’s about greed, do you take too much and die or take little and live. It’s called Dead Money for a reason. The new weapons are cool, the Bear Trap Fist is better than any unarmed weapon. The DLC also made use of items that in the normal game world are pretty useless. The DLC also makes you use skills that in the normal game you don’t rely on as much.

    I think the DLC is great. It sets the stage for the rest of the story. It is much more enjoyable than any of the FO3 DLC packs.

    I don’t get the hate for it at all. Whah you don’t get much out of it. What you get out of it is more game playability, the ONLY thing you need to get out of it.

  7. Just finished not satisfied I don’t know why they decided to make it so linear kinda disappointed as fallout is about doing it your way. Felt very confined by the speaker system felt like I spent most of the time watching my head blow off looking for the stupid speakers. What is with the miasma?

  8. why in siera madre only nightkin only my companion why the 2 companion can’t came to me plsss help!!!
