Default Which DLC?

I finally convinced my wife to let me spend the extra money to get the DLCs. Problem is the deal was just to go an XBL points card. That means only 2/3 DLCs. I know I am getting Knoxx, but which other one.

Zombie Island:
I love zombies. This one has more of a story to it from what I have read. And 1 claptrap i think?

Moxxi:
It has a bank. I like banks. And it has 2 extra skill points.

I don't know which to choose. Eventually I will have all of them, but I don't know what to start with.

Any suggestions?

I think going with Moxxi may be your best bet. The handy bank are pretty much what people with trouble managing weapons, such as myself and 90% + of the community, needed. Plus, its available from the start so you don't have to really work for it. The extra skill points are handy for level 61 builds as well.

However, if you can get Zombie Island first, play through it, then get Knoxx so that you don't become overleveled, that would be fine as well. Zombie Island continued the tried and true forumla of the main game with some funny moments to boot.

In the end, preference. I say Moxxi if you're getting it together with Knoxx; Zombie Island if you want to play through it first then buy Knoxx.

Zombies is funny for Solo play, have a sweet story, and you can do the Clap Trap mission Twice and get 2 SDU, so +6 Item slot.

If you want to play Multiplayer, go with Moxxi and invite some friends

Zombie Island - Cool (but short) story plus 2 opportunities for Backpack SDU's, totaling 6 extra spaces

Moxxi - Gears 2 Horde mode, 2 skill points, and a bank of 42 spaces..

Achievements - 125 somewhat easy in Z.I. 125 VERY time consuming points in Moxxi


Hope this breaks it down. I'd go with Moxxi. Zombie Island seems more interesting, but after buying both, I find I get more use out of Moxxi

Zombies... for no other reason other than well... Zombies

Seriously though I bought it (finally) a few weeks back and found it pretty entertaining, it also provides a nice visual break from constant wasteland/desert areas (sort of set in a swamp like terrain) And some of the bosses are quite cool to.

I voted Moxxi, cos it'll still be playable after you level to 61 in Knoxx, where as most of the rest of the game will be too easy.

Also the story and play area is similar to Orginal and Knoxx, whereas Dr Ned (fun as it was) is a diversion.

Which ever you finally go for, HF.

Thanks. I am leaning more towards Moxxi and hoping to convince my wife that 10 more dollars really isnt that much and getting all three

If you're getting all three, buy Zombie Island first, complete it, then buy Knoxx. and play it. That way you don't level up past 50, and become bored at the start of Knoxx.
