Notes
- Similar all New Vegas add-ons, Old Globe Dejection raises the level cap by five.[1] The add-on also offers new traits (and gives you lot the opportunity to change your ain traits if you've already chosen them) including one called Logan's Loophole that will allow yous to cap your level at 30 and give y'all additional bonuses regarding chems.
- The improver recommends that players reach level 15 before going to the Large MT.
- Equipment will not be stripped from the player at the beginning of this improver, and it features an open-world setting. There is no limit to the amount of equipment yous can have in to the add-on, also.[ii]
- Like all Fallout: New Vegas add-ons, companions cannot accompany the Courier to the new land. However, in that location is one temporary companion in the improver, a cyberdog named Roxie who has her ain ending if yous create her.
- In addition to providing costless basic healing services (restore HP, repair limb damage, and remove radiation and drug dependency), the automobile-md in The Sink allows the thespian to alter their looks, hairstyle, and, for in one case only, their traits.
- There is a new radio station added, to both the Big Empty and the Mojave. It plays iii new jazz songs, forth with two songs from Radio New Vegas. Among the songs is Begin Again by Vera Keyes.
- Christine Royce and Father Elijah from Dead Money are also involved in Former World Blues, although they exercise not appear in the add-on. In that location are holotapes of her speaking, along with her weapon and armor. Begetter Elijah's weapons tin can likewise exist found, along with notes made by him while in the Large MT.
Behind the scenes
- The Large Empty was a location that was scrapped from Black Isle's canceled Fallout 3 (Van Buren).
- At some point, Chris Avellone set his location on his Twitter profile to Big MT, Mojave, placing the Big Empty as a location inside the Mojave Wasteland and thus teasing its possible advent in a futurity Fallout: New Vegas add-on. Since then, Avellone has too inverse his Twitter avatar.
- J.Due east. Sawyer has suggested that Quondam Earth Blues was the virtually humorous of the New Vegas add-ons.[iii]
- This add-on is an obvious homage to the B-movie science fiction movies of the 1950s. There are many references to these types of movies throughout the improver.
- One-time World Blues was nominated for the Best DLC Award at the 2011 Spike Video Game Awards.
- Old World Blues was jointly designed by Chris Avellone and Travis Stout.[4]
- Besides taking some blueprint inspiration from the Big Empty of Van Buren, some inspiration was likewise taken from the EPA, a cut Fallout 2 location.[v]
Bugs
-
Similar to a issues in Honest Hearts , while playing through the chief quest, the tick marks of undiscovered locations can disappear from the compass. However, information technology's withal possible to observe them afterward. - With Old Earth Dejection installed the amount of 5mm rounds found in containers and other sources of loot is reduced dramatically, to roughly thirty% of what is unremarkably institute. This change only affects containers plant in the Mojave Wasteland, and not those located in the Large MT.
- Most members of the Brotherhood of Steel become notably weaker once Old World Blues is installed, reducing their Strength and Endurance stats by 3 and 2 points respectively, and removing Explosives equally a tagged skill. This affects both unnamed members, specially those found patrolling the area around Hidden Valley, too as some named members including Linda Schuler, Knight Lorenzo, and even Nolan McNamara and Edgar Hardin.
- When returning to the Mojave, you may find your ratings with factions having diminished.
- Entering the Big Empty and then saving your game, waiting, or inbound doors may crusade the game to freeze. A way to work around this is to never save, or wait in Big MT itself while indoors. To prevent freezing while in the Sink, enter Large MT from the Recall Tank entrance.
- If you lot bought all three add-ons, your max level withal might be 40. On Xbox 360, y'all can go rid of it by going the Dashboard and reloading the game.
- After completing Quondam World Blues, you may detect yourself attacked on sight by the Brotherhood of Steel upon re-entering the bunker, or by the caretaker of the Brotherhood of Steel prophylactic firm, even though your standing with them is unchanged.
- When returning to the Mojave, you lot may not be able to talk to Victor or anyone on the Strip. This prevents yous from using the Lucky 38 as a base. A way effectually information technology is to kill Victor and the residuum of the Securitrons.
