==Release==
 
A timed exclusive,<ref>[http://fallout.bethsoft.com/eng/home/pr-111710.php Fallout: Welcome to the Official Site]</ref> ''Dead Money'' was released on December 21, 2010 for Xbox 360 and was later released for PC and PlayStation 3 on February 22, 2011.

==Prototype Kickban message==
==Plot==
 
''Dead Money'' is set in the [[Sierra Madre]], an opulent and extravagant resort that was to be the greatest casino in the west, except that it never opened. Bombs fell before the gala opening, and the Sierra Madre froze in time, its state of the art security system locking the place up tight. Nothing could get in, and none of the guests could escape. The security [[hologram]]s then activated and the once glorious event turned into a slaughter. After many years the climate control and air conditioning systems within the facility began to spit strange toxins into the surrounding city, causing a red cloud to form over the area - which proved lethal to anyone who tried to explore the city. Only a mysterious group called the [[ghost people]] survived to call the city home, trapped inside what appear to be [[Hazmat suit]]s, they wander the streets never speaking to their victims, only capturing them alive and dragging them away to the depths of the city deep within [[the Cloud]].
 
   
  +
<div style="background-color: #E7EADA; border: 1px solid #AAA;"> [[File:Sledgehammer icon.png|right]] [[File:CHADchatbanMSG.png|left|145px]]
And so the Sierra Madre faded from memory, only occasionally being seen in posters across the wastes, until it took on mythic ghost story status, a supposed "City of Gold" in the [[Wasteland]] where all the treasures of the Old World were rumored to be held. It was kept alive as a late-night saloon story by prospectors who'd claimed to have found maps leading there and were willing to part with the map for a few caps. Or a drink. Or a warm place to sleep.<!-- These last two sentences were a part of the official description. Why do people keep removing them?-->

The Sierra Madre is a mythical place in the wastes, with travelers risking their lives to find it. Only one man truly "found" it and lived. After the fall of [[HELIOS One]], [[Father Elijah]] of the [[Mojave Brotherhood of Steel]] set out to find new weapons to eradicate the [[New California Republic|NCR]], and in the process he found the Sierra Madre.

I've taken a look at the guidelines and at 'Making the request' it states that an aspiring moderator needs to start a forum thread. Now you can say you ask for patroller rights, but it would mean you'd get moderator powers in total (chat which you already have, rollback and patrol). So I would consider your request a moderator one and you need to start a thread for that. By the way, you're good to go for that I think.

Hey, Chad! Long time no see, eh? I've been snowed under work on the last week and it will be so for a while until the first chapter of my master's dissertation is done. That's why I've been quite distant and just patrolling the articles for a couple of hours a day, making fewer edits. It's gonna get better when the thick work is taken care of.
==Locations==
 
  +
<br>But that's not why I'm here. I'm here because I want to propose something. I've drawn and painted ever since I learnt how to hold a pencil. Although I'm not a superb artist (btw, you can see 2 of my pieces on my user page - gallery), I can come up with something good from time to time. So I was thinking of starting a new wiki segment (kinda like the news digest and the mystery polls) that would take place twice a month, in which I would post a drawing of a Fallout character created by me and a very brief tale about them below the picture. More than twice a month and I'm fucked, 'cause things are gonna get bloody tight with the master's this year. XD
{{Transcluded|Fallout: New Vegas locations}}
 
  +
<br>I was thinking of naming the segment as "Forgotten names of despair", and the stories would be very grim and almost always end with someone's death or with pain/suffering. It would try to show the ruthlessness of a world devastated by holocaust.

<br>Anyway, what do you think? Perhaps I could post it on the SNM as well, but I can talk to Leon about that later.

Hi Chad. You forgot to make your request under the proper forum category: Wiki proposals and applications, so I went ahead an added that for you. I think that's why not many people have seen it yet.

==Notes==
 
* Despite the warning you receive at the first door in the bunker, you can in fact stay in the Mojave if you choose to proceed. The actual point of no return is at the end of the hallway.
 
* Take note that companions from the Mojave can not join you and must be abandoned before being allowed to enter the Sierra Madre.
 
* You can explore the [[Sierra Madre Casino|Sierra Madre]] as much as you like after completing the game, but will not be able to return after completing the add-on. However, you can return using [[Gamebryo console commands|console commands]]. If you noclip with {{console|command=tcl}} through the radio at the [[Abandoned Brotherhood of Steel bunker]], you can see a metal door with the message "Door to Villa". Using that door will take you back to the [[Villa]], with all the ghost people still alive, holograms working, etc. You even get to keep your items. You can also use {{console|player.moveto ''ref id''}} to teleport any living companions, though they won't be approachable, as they disappear after a certain point in the story.
 
* The player can still spend [[Sierra Madre chip]]s after returning to the [[Mojave Wasteland]] at a [[Sierra Madre vending machine]] in the [[Abandoned BoS Bunker]]. You can still turn in [[carton of cigarettes|cartons of cigarettes]], [[pack of cigarettes|packs of cigarettes]] and items of apparel to receive more chips and buy cheap supplies. There is also a Dropbox near the door, which gives you a [[Complimentary voucher]] (a value of 1,000 chips) and 100 chips every three days. The chips will stockpile, for example, after 6 days, there will be 2 Complimentary vouchers and 200 chips.
 
* If a player turns in an item of apparel that raises [[Agility]] while wearing it, the Agility increase will remain. This can be repeated until the Courier's Agility reaches 10. While this increased Agility improves skills affected by Agility and increases AP, it does not allow the courier to take perks otherwise unavailable, unlike an increase from an implant.
 
* The level cap is raised by 5 levels with ''Dead Money'' installed.
 
* It is recommended that players reach level 20 before beginning this add-on.
 
* The add-on focuses more on skills than combat, often placing you into speech, explosives, science, and barter checks that have a huge bearing on how companions will treat you. It also focuses on scavenging as well, mainly due to the lack of shops that sell ammo and materials for [[Weapon repair kit]]s.
 
* You cannot Fast Travel while inside the Sierra Madre.
 
* If playing in [[Hardcore mode]], the sleep meter does not advance, unless the Courier sleeps. There may be a considerable delay before this happens, however.
 
* ''Dead Money'' is the only one of [[Fallout: New Vegas add-ons|the four story DLCs]] that you cannot return to after completion.
 
 
==Behind the scenes==
 
* The add-on as a whole is a reference to the 1948 film ''[[Wikipedia:The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (film)|The Treasure of the Sierra Madre]]'', where two people who are down on their luck meet a prospector, and plan to raid the remote mountains in search of gold, dealing with fierce locals and personal greed.
 
* [[Chris Avellone]] discussed some of the design decisions behind ''Dead Money'' [http://forums.obsidian.net/index.php?automodule=blog&blogid=1&showentry=144]
 
* "Dead Money" is a slang term used in poker to refer to a player that contributes money to the pot and believes they have a chance at winning, but in reality they have almost no such chance due to a lack of skill or experience.
 
 
==Bugs==
 
* {{Platforms|pc|ps3|xbox360}} ''Dead Money'' overrides some of the changes that have been made to the [[grenade launcher (Fallout: New Vegas)|grenade launcher]] in previous patches. With ''Dead Money'' installed and nothing else taking up space in your load order, the grenade's base damage is increased to 30, its spread is increased to 1.0, non-player characters will still use ammunition, and it can still be repaired with miniguns.
 
* {{Platforms|xbox360}} If the quest [[ED-E My Love]] is not completed before beginning the DLC, upon the player's return the quest will have disappeared and [[ED-E]] will be hostile.
 
* {{Platforms|xbox360}} Downloading the DLC from within the game will not register the DLC with the game, even when restarting the game or the console. You need to download it from the Xbox Dashboard and wait for the download to complete, then start the game.
 
* {{Platforms|xbox360}} Profiles on the same HDD other than the one who bought it won't be able to access the DLC. The game will give them a message about the DLC being corrupt even though it is not. The solution is to sign into the purchaser's profile from the dashboard, then load the game, then switch to your own profile.
 
* {{Platforms|ps3}} If you download the DLC and then delete it before reaching level 30, but after receiving the "''Dead Money'' loaded" message, installing it again will reset the level-cap to 30, with no known way to fix it. You'll just have to start a new character, or play as level 30 instead of 35.

Hi Chad! I was just reading another splendid edition of the news digest and I noticed the project spotlight section was empty. It reminded me to inform you of the notable loot project I set up, which will commence once the notable loot policy is finalised this week. So perhaps you could update it or put it into the next one, whichever you prefer. Thanks :) {{User:SigmaDelta54/Sig}} 00:56, May 5, 2012 (UTC)

More than twice a month and I'm fucked, 'cause things are gonna get bloody tight with the master's this year. XD
I was thinking of naming the segment as "Forgotten names of despair", and the stories would be very grim and almost always end with someone's death or with pain/suffering. It would try to show the ruthlessness of a world devastated by holocaust.
Anyway, what do you think? Perhaps I could post it on the SNM as well, but I can talk to Leon about that later.

I think you've got the right balance as you said it there. It doesn't have to do with Fallout as Wasteland has. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 17:29, May 1, 2012 (UTC)

I trust your judgment in what you want to add to the news digest and what not. You have a good enough eye for it. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 20:17, May 3, 2012 (UTC)

Hi Chad. You forgot to make your request under the proper forum category: Wiki proposals and applications, so I went ahead an added that for you. I think that's why not many people have seen it yet. And I'll also add it to the community messages. Good luck! --Skire (talk) 18:36, May 2, 2012 (UTC)

Project

Hi Chad! I was just reading another splendid edition of the news digest and I noticed the project spotlight section was empty. It reminded me to inform you of the notable loot project I set up, which will commence once the notable loot policy is finalised this week. So perhaps you could update it or put it into the next one, whichever you prefer. Thanks :) --Skire (talk) 00:56, May 5, 2012 (UTC)

News

How in Chris Avellone's name does one make a blog post appear in the news? I did the weekly poll today and it doesn't want to show up. Can you help out when you see this (if it hasn't been fixed already)? Yes Man defaultUser Avatar talk 10:50, May 5, 2012 (UTC)

Ah, that must have been it. Wouldn't show up, even an hour after I'd made it. Next time I'll keep that in mind. Thanks, Chad Yes Man defaultUser Avatar talk 23:18, May 5, 2012 (UTC)
