It actually is a region thing. If your version of F:NV is ROW, and the DLC you got is NA, you can't activate it, because you don't have the NA version, and it treats them as a different game. Stupid, yes, but that's how it is with this game.

You can always try contacting steam support and explaining the situation.

Russian version has different internal steam-id.
Steam check game-id, not game name. So... DLCs from english (i mean worldwide in this case) and russian versions not compatible.
Sad story, bro.

So since i can not use it, can i give it away here, even if it has region restrictions? (Did not win it here, so that shouldn't be a problem)

I think... no.
It should be rerolled, but how to exclude all non-russian entries? IDK
And of course this stupid guy should inform in the giveaway description that he has RUSSIAN copy of DLC

In this keys you of course can give it away here, but you need to inform other people that this DLC compatible only with Russian version of FO:NV

Now that's just stupid, since all games that have a region specific form mean all forms of that game are region specifc, in this case the regions are, it seems, "Russia" and "everything other than Russia." I've seen other giveaways here that have regions to them too.

well too many people dont put region specific in the description of their gifts so they all have to be blacklisted

Yeah, and we suspend for them because it's in the rules and has been for months and months. We're working on something, but it's massively low priority compared to other stuff.
