"This DLC is about letting go" Me wanting to give gold to Doc Mitchell and Goodsprings because my 1 int character believes he owes them that much: "Nah."
There's note about how the freaking elevator are also made the same material as for the Vault and it's impossible to blow or using the laser on the bottom of the elevator, guess Sinclair really did want to bury Dean alive
I remember my first time playing this and somehow managing to convince him we're on the same side. Then he gassed the wastes with the clouds. I was mindblown you could beat the whole game with this dlc
The theme of this DLC is letting go. So, anyways, I've got 37 gold bars stashed in the Lucky 38 that I'll never sell because they're a semi-unique item.
@@Lore-mc7zw probably, thing is though is that he spent over 800,000 chips in 1 year alone to get the platinum chip, and millions more in the years before looking for the damn thing. Really just feels like a drop in the bucket for him considering the max the gold can nab you is about 400,000 caps.
You didn't wait long enough for Elijah to trigger the vault lock to lock him in that room. If you wait long enough, he'll waltz into the vault, log onto the computer, and for some unfathomable reason, click the very obvious trap message and then lock himself in the room. You don't have to run from him, you don't have to fight him, he doesn't even see you leave. He tries to activate the collar, but you just go to the elevator.
But, if memory serves, that immediately turns on the force field and you need to take the long way around. This is the only way to get out with all of the gold.
@@DiscordOfDave IIRC, you have like 10-15 seconds to get to and through that forcefield once he steps into the vault? Should be enough time to sneak over to the forcefield and get past it before it activates, assuming he doesn't see you.
I don't think Elijah understood that it was a trap. He knew it had secrets, and how to get to them. However he misses the point of it all. He was so obsessed with the power of it he missed what the costs would be. He had been doing this since Helios, and never learned his lesson.
@@spacehitler4537 My problem with that, is that the various terminals, etc around the Madre very clearly spell it out. I mean, that's how you the player knows: from reading the stuff on the terminals. I find it hard to believe that somebody who has actually been inside the Casino never bothered to go and read the stuff on the terminals.
It's just the perfect irony. You take all the gold and all he is left with is his own thoughts and past mistakes before he dies alone...Assuming he didn't somehow to miraculously survive on rats or think of a way out offscreen.
Elijah isn’t there for the gold. He wants the technology. The matter recombulator (the vending machines), the holograms, the cloud. With it he could wipe out both the NCR and the Legion and the anyone else that stood in his way
My biggest regret in this DLC the first time was that I did let it all go. I left the gold, left Elijah, and eventually left my new friends behind. I want my fucking gold
Lol me too. First time around, I left the gold behind. It's nice to get both out of the DLC: one playthrough you experience the "lesson" in its entirety, and then the other, shoving all the gold bars down your pants because YOLO
back when I played on console I would scrimp and scrounge and do everything I could to make it out with the gold. now that I'm on PC, I had 300,000 caps before entering the Sierra Madre and truly did just follow the signal out of curiosity.
@@ghosters1072I play the complete opposite, I did all the greed and dopamine rush options in my first playthroughs and when I came back I took the game much more seriously
I think the best part about the whole interaction is A. You are bound to have one skill high enough to convey Elijah to come down - B. You leave it ready to trap Elijah - C. Even if your guy was dumb as rocks your claims are backed up by what you did to get to the Vault And D. Even if Elijah thought you trapped the Bunker, your claims would spark him to go in.
I've dragged my ass out of both the BOS bunker and Caesar's camp with 4 set of armor and an overencumbered Cass, you bet your bottom dollar imma snail crawl my way out of this vault
6:36 Are you telling me that there is another elevator right next to the vault? And the first time I played it, it took me 10 tries because I thought you had to go back to the beginning where you entered IT WAS FOR NOTHING
same, but tbh it's more tense and fun running around while everything explodes around u, i never frustates so hard navigating the bunker corridor while the beeping gets faster everytime and when i reach that elevator at the beginning, i feel so relieved, that sense of accomplishment hits u, so no it wasn't for nothing, it's all about the journey

For me it must have been more than 10 times, I finished this DLC for the first time today, and I only managed to escape with the gold bars after watching the video from this channel here.
@@gorsyy I didn’t know I had to wait for the stutter! Thank you so much for the information! I banged my head against a wall 6 times when I played Dead Money for the first time before giving up and leaving without the gold.
The vault door seals shut trapping people inside, the holografic walls are solid so they trap anyone outside the vault. And the elevator is set to go back up and disable itself, so even if he got past the vault walls the elevator would never go down again, keeping him trapped.
@@lautarodelrio3257 I always thought he got stuck in the vault because the owner literally had it designed to trap Dean and what's her face, and it traps you if you screw up. The fact that a highly skilled and dangerous brotherhood elder can run around outside his cage with access to a bunch of laser turrets and other tech doesn't sit well with me
Imagine how shot his lunges must be when he sees your pipboy slowly get farther and farther from the area, knowing you damn well escaped and gave him a worse fate than death.
I like how this is the one game where almost anything can be proven via ingame facts and logic... but where Elijah was the whole time? (Safe enough to wait for someone to properly open the way) That I coule never get.
At the start, I kinda wanted to help Elijah. I'd been following him for a minute, and I kinda felt bad for him. Dude got knocked down, hard, held in place by his desire as he sacrificed his family, his friends, to try and keep it. After his failure, he left alone, a self-imposed exile with one aim in mind: Revenge "How do I get the NCR back for this!" Soon, I just wanted to see inside the vault, but after I met Elijah, talked with Elijah, and got my head blown up for the 500th time looking for a speaker *(THAT WAS RIGHT ABOVE THE DOOR, ON THE WALL, **_THE WHOLE TIME!)_* I made a decision and followed through with it. I took everything that wasn't nailed down, in that vault, and left a bag of potato chips and a bottle of dirty water on the floor before I crept out with a Stealth Boy, leaving him trapped with nothing but what I left and his own hubris/desire.
SO THATS HOW YOU CAN GET TO THE ELEVATOR?! I AM SO ANGRY. I DIED AGAIN AND AGAIN TRYING TO ESCAPE THE HARD WAY FOR FUCKALL! [Ahem] Very insightful video
I tried doing this about 200 times but could never get it. I eventually realized that if you drop all the gold right at the tip of the top step, the game will drop it on the other side of the force field just as it goes up. Then all you have to do run all the way around, pick them up again, and start spamming INTERACT as you slowly start walking towards the elevator.
I feel like the only mfer that didn’t use exploits to get the gold, I walked outta there with only 3 but I feel pretty damn satisfied with the way I ended things, all things considered it was still more enjoyable than OWB in my opinion (I spec’s for smooth talking gunslinger, I don’t really use energy weapons, just a preference)
@@gorsyy it do be like that Also wasn’t tryina throw shade at anyone who uses exploits, especially in NV, but I’m always reading comments about how people are walking out with all the gold, just thought it was funny 😂
I didnt have high enough sneak to not get caught this way, i had to take a roundabout path up through the middle room, making a mad dash from the window to the other door into the elevator hallway with perfect timing
I saved it before going into the vault so many times, & couldn't make it out without forcefield coming up before I left. Only time I made it our was in GOD mode, ran the entire course/maze back to the elevator.
Bye far the worst DLC. Still a good ending, but imagine being in a full suit of Sealed and air filtered power armor only to be magically gassed into unconsciousness by that oldest of tricks... (railroading)
Question, what specs is your PC or whatever are you using? F:NV keeps crashing for me at launch for no reason and I've tried samn well everything except reverting to older hardware.
This sneaking shit never works. Do yall have aome kind of mods? The asshole turns the fucking shield on every time i get close, whether ive got a stealth boy or not
Dead Money is the best DLC. It's atmospheric, it has actual progression, and outside of an infinite source of weapon kits, doesn't completely ruin the balance of the rest of the game, unlike OWB which should stand for "One Without Balance" because seriously, 10 seconds after stepping into Big MT, you are showered with bonkers overpowered weapons left-and-right. In Dead Money, you get the holorifle, but it's not THAT good of a weapon unless you go full energy build which is probably not the best thing to do as the rest of the Mojave is kind of scarce on energy weapons and ammo for a long time.
Felt the same but I went and changed up the order I played the DLCs the following times. Always hit Old World Blues before Dead Money. Dead money might take your gear, but it doesn't take out your implants. I generally roll into the Sierra Madre more chromed up than David Martinez (Cyberpunk Edgerunners) with all the Big MT implants plus as many of the 9 implants the New Vegas Clinic can stuff in me. still a little rough, but i feel less unprepared.
@@Dhalin If the gameplay changes maybe this is the best DLC. The collar with the bomb just ridiculous, maybe I'll continue this DLC if cheat available.
@@richardmazkin9994 I never touch FNV again since play this DLC, its not fun when you play with headset and watching your character explode over and over again in whole game.
Apparently on PC ypu can blow the collar with godmode on then turn it off and explore to your heart's content. The radios are the main reason I hated it.

Does your sneak need to be at a certain level?
This DLC made me want to pull the hairs out out of my head!
Guess what old man, I'm taking it all and leaving you with nothing.
I did always want to see the other collar-mates again. And god I’ll never find 10+ more of the stashes. Drove me wild. But I let go.
I kept trying to trap Elijah but Dean and Christine talk over my pip boy and he will not move. Must have done something wrong.
I saved it before going into the vault so many times, & couldn't make it out without forcefield coming up before I left. Only time I made it our was in GOD mode, ran the entire course/maze back to the elevator.
Bye far the worst DLC. Still a good ending, but imagine being in a full suit of Sealed and air filtered power armor only to be magically gassed into unconsciousness by that oldest of tricks... (railroading)
Question, what specs is your PC or whatever are you using? F:NV keeps crashing for me at launch for no reason and I've tried samn well everything except reverting to older hardware.
Man, do you take forever in picking a damn dialogue option in every game?
people need to let go of the "letting go" comment....it's been said a million times already !
do i get to go back to the mojave if i kill elijah, i just want to go back to the mojave
L old man
Bro you take so long to pick dialogue
I'm worse when it comes to pivotal dialogue choices
This sneaking shit never works. Do yall have aome kind of mods? The asshole turns the fucking shield on every time i get close, whether ive got a stealth boy or not
where were u wen elijer die
i was in vault taking all gold when phone ring
“elijah is kil”
“ha-ha”
How the hell do you disable the stupid forcefield on the door 😭
Just screw this DLC...not deserve in FNV series ..
Booooo
Dead Money is the best DLC. It's atmospheric, it has actual progression, and outside of an infinite source of weapon kits, doesn't completely ruin the balance of the rest of the game, unlike OWB which should stand for "One Without Balance" because seriously, 10 seconds after stepping into Big MT, you are showered with bonkers overpowered weapons left-and-right. In Dead Money, you get the holorifle, but it's not THAT good of a weapon unless you go full energy build which is probably not the best thing to do as the rest of the Mojave is kind of scarce on energy weapons and ammo for a long time.
Felt the same but I went and changed up the order I played the DLCs the following times. Always hit Old World Blues before Dead Money. Dead money might take your gear, but it doesn't take out your implants. I generally roll into the Sierra Madre more chromed up than David Martinez (Cyberpunk Edgerunners) with all the Big MT implants plus as many of the 9 implants the New Vegas Clinic can stuff in me. still a little rough, but i feel less unprepared.
@@Dhalin If the gameplay changes maybe this is the best DLC. The collar with the bomb just ridiculous, maybe I'll continue this DLC if cheat available.
@@richardmazkin9994 I never touch FNV again since play this DLC, its not fun when you play with headset and watching your character explode over and over again in whole game.
Such a bad DLC.
MONEY 🤑
I hate this DLC, most of them are not that good, but this one takes the first place. It was a drag from beginning to end.
I liked it more the second time around
fo3 has better dlcs
@@feitopunsno it didn't 😂
@@AlexZebol I don't know about you but fo3 dlcs feels like it's part of the main story except zeta
Apparently on PC ypu can blow the collar with godmode on then turn it off and explore to your heart's content. The radios are the main reason I hated it.
lolz
You literally didn't trap him in the vault. The one thing this video title implies.
Accurate title: "Deciding between dialogue options in the Sierra Madre vault after realizing I couldn't save during dialogue."
Boohoo, this gives you the security deposit box achievement that says you locked him in the vault so cry 😢 you didnt like it but plenty of people did
@@gorsyy
It's not crying. You can live with being a half-assed bullshitter. I can't. That's the difference.
@@GuitarGuy057 and you can live with being a self assured dickhead who thinks hes clever with his “accurate title” comments😂
@@gorsyy
Pro tip: it's not "self assurance" when you're verifiably correct.
Have fun being subpar.
@@GuitarGuy057 I like how you edited your second comment from self assured to half assed😭 you’re so smart for finding out when and when not to use self assured although i employed it correctly, you guitarguy057 are a self assured dick and you know it
Simultaneously best written and worst written dlc in fallout history
THAT WAS THAT EASY!????????????
1 month ago hey couldn’t have been more copied broke boy
?
If he's gonna suffer in there alone forever, I want to make sure he doesn't get any of the gold.
