I think many people who dislike Dead Money do so because they went in with the wrong mindset. My first ever clear was in a hardcore (the hunger/thirst/sleep deprivation kind) playthrough, where you continually lose HP even while not standing in the toxic clouds. Basically starting the game from scratch, only taking with you your past experiences, and surviving with what little the Sierra Madre gives you, I always have an absolute blast playing this DLC as a kind of difficult Fallout-themed more difficult survival shooter/RPG, love the backstory and the characters, and locking in Elijah at the end is always a joy. The radio-beeping and spotting can be a bit annoying but I just think of them as just another obstacle the devs have thrown in my way. 9.5/10
