Wait...they're asking poor console folk to pay $10 for something that PC players can do with a little knowledge and the ability to use notepad in less than ten minutes?

The content adds a lot more than a raised level cap.

How does extra content change the fact that you still have to pay $10 if you hope to ever level up your char again? Extra-content or not, level cap increase should've been a free update seeing how everybody and their mother has maxed out their levels half-way through the game.

Also, I like that name...Buzz Killington

To be honest, I stopped caring around the point I predicted LBP's fate six month before release.

Great game, terrible executive meddling from Sony...

I wish Broken Steel was coming out first. It's dumb to make level 20 characters wait until all 3 packs are released if they want to get the most out of the content.

Totally agree with you. I keep wrestling with the thought of waiting until March to play all three, just because I'm so close to completing the game's many side missions and exploration that it'd be a waste to have TEN LEVELS to go through with a mere expansion (even if it's sizable, ten levels is a lot).

And I'm never going to play through the whole game again, ever. It wouldn't be the same. The discovery is what makes the game great, and that would be lost on a second playthrough.

So do I wait until March? Probably.

As much as I don't like Fallout3: That is a pretty badass ninja suit.

I'm really into this game but have to put it on a back burner beacuse I'm working on so many games simultaneously and the shorter ones are begging to be knocked off first.

That way I'll feel like I have more time to dedicate to Fallout all at once.

I'm in the same spot. There are too many others I want to play and so I took a break from this game. I will be grabbing the DLC and playing it again when I have time.

I'll only be getting Broken Steel. I'm maxed out on lvl 20 and have a bunch of unfinished quests all queued up, ready to be completed for their XP payout. I can probably get to lvl 21 within 5 minutes of installing Broken Steel.

They would reconsider it as soon as you reconsider trading in your PS3 for a 360.

I imagine it'll be coming for the PS3, just a year late thanks to MS bribery. Crooked bastards.

Level 30 is pretty damn good, I just hope then introduce a lot of new though enemies that would actually make getting there worth it.

Oh and that ninja suit would be awesome on my current melee character. I love the shishkabob.

The shishkabob is all well and fine, I just wish it would stop lighting Dogmeat on fire along with the enemy. The site of a flaming dog jumping at a flaming super mutant is only funny so many times.

I'm very excited for this, but am I the only one that is a little perturbed by the fact that we have to pay for a raised level cap? I don't have an issue with paying for the extra content/areas/quests, but I feel at least the level cap raise should be made available for free.

How about a patch for some extra friggin songs on GNR. What they should have done is made findable records or CD's in the game that you can bring to the station to augment Three Dog's playlist -- and possibly hack his computer and delete tracks you can't bear listening to anymore.

"How about the patch the damn game first before talking about DLCs."

I couldn't agree more. I'm stuck half way through the game due to the game breaking bug in Waters Of Life. Which means I'm stuck waiting for a patch before I can play one. And I'm pretty hecked off about it to be honest.

I just recently hit level 20 with like 70 hours under my belt and was kind of surprised how little it affected my desire to continue playing. I guess the fun of exploration is the real driving force for me.

Still a level 30 cap is pretty bad ass.

I wish it would've taken me 70 hours to hit lvl 20. I don't know the exact amount of playtime, but I hit lvl 20 in less than 20 hours, and I haven't even considered touching the game since.

Any hopes of reward for my in-game efforts and explorations, as well as any further character development, were dashed to bits before I had even played halfway through the main story quests.

In my opinion, it serves as almost a punishment to any player who is attempting to see as much as they can of the game in one play through. I can only speak for myself, but I won't even consider picking this game back up until the level cap is raised, and the fact that it carries a price tag is very off-putting.

I'm buying each DLC pack day one when it comes out! Currently playing through the first time as a goody goody, then will go through again as Sneedy McEvil...Fallout 3 is a great game.

For the people complaining about paying to raise your cap lever....there will be DLC ALONG with the raise in level cap for Broken Steel, so you're not just paying to raise the cap...

I never can understand why people complain about something they don't want... unless deep down they really do want it, and are just too cheap/broke to actually get it...

I am a little annoyed that this is not coming for the PS3. I've been trying to build up my PS3 library and decided to buy it for that instead of the 360. And there is no way I'm gonna play through all of that content again on the 360 just for this.

I'm pretty sure as you find stuff it will be unlocked in the original game. Don't know how exactly. Maybe "This suit/gun is now available to purchase in Rivet City".

I bet when you leave the simulation, your left with the schematics of said armor or weapon and then you have to build it yourself. Or maybe you find it in a closet in the place your contained while in the simulation... Either or!
