That really isn't a "bug" it was just a mistake on Bethesda's part for putting the cap on it.

good thing I haven't downloaded it yet. Hopefully this will be the last fix they need for the Pitt

I think the problem was only for the Xbox 360 version.

Some people were still experiencing freezes in the slaver camp. They isolated the issue that wasn't affecting everybody, and now it should be fixed.

Yeah after they replaced the code I didn't have any problems. Granted, I'm not done with it yet but I'm on the last part of it and haven't had any problems. One tiny glitch was pretty sweet though. A guy's head I shot off kept flying around in the air spewing blood until I left the area.

Protip: Don't finish the game until you're done exploring.

You should definitely get it for PS3. Even with all the bugs and glitches it's still one of the best games out there.

Buy this game. I am nearly 100 hours in and would guess I have a good 20 to go. this is without the DLC. It is the best game I have played in years.

Yeh, I totally agree, buy it, no matter what platform it's for (I myself have it for PC, which, while the "best" version is glitchy as all hell, and even more crash-prone than Oblivion for PC is). I can't be sure as I have the PC version, but what I did was complete it (I didn't actually meen to complete it when I did) then just loaded a previous save and kept going. It's kinda annoying, but doesn't bother me that much. You really need to play through it at least twice (if only for achievments/trophies), so you can just not complete it the second play through 'til you're sure your done

I'm waiting for the third DLC to START the game. I want a continuous experience, so I've been holding off. I'm glad to see I've avoided this fiasco.

as long as you're not trying to rush through main quests only, there is more than enough in the game to keep busy now until they release the last DLC. Just do all the side quests. I stopped playing because I'm already max-ed out to level 20 and I still have about half of all quests to complete. It's a great game, so enjoy!

I can't be bothered, but could someone else photoshop the P out for a Sh on that picture?

I know. I made the fatal mistake of linking my XBL account to my credit card and now I don't even think twice about adding points to my account. I dread thinking about how much money I've spent on there in the last three years.

I'm one of the biggest Fallout 3 fans you'll find; I loved Operation Anchorage (and it's amazing loot; Chinese Stealth Armor is SWEEET!), and enjoyed The Pitt.
However..
Sadly, since I'd had issues with the Pitt, causing me to LOSE said sweet loot, I'll wait at least a week after the release of Broken Steel to purchase it for the bugs (scorpions, radroaches) to be worked out.
For the record, I cleared my 360 console cache (memory screen on Dashboard, LB, XX, RB I believe) and that helped. After I downloaded the second Pitt file and for safe measure re-downloaded Op. Anchorage, things seemed to work OK. I got my loot back. :)

I wish they would publish the english version worldwide. I'm not downloading another one just because I happen to live in Germany!

The kind of games Bethesda makes, the DLCs are surprisingly poor. The first one was almost a joke and that was because of the awesome gear you get in the end.
Pitt is very avg. The story was decent but it could have so much more depth to it; it would at least make it worth the price.

Broken Steel will not be the last DLC for Fallout 3, at least according to some news from GDC.
http://news.bigdownload.com/2009/03/27/gdc-2009-more-fallout-3-dlc-is-on-the-way/
Bethesda Softworks has already released two downloadable expansions for their hit post-apocalypse RPG game Fallout 3. A third expansion is due sometime in April. However it looks like fans of the game can expect even more DLC in the future, according to what was mentioned at a GDC panel this week.
According to Shacknews, the game's lead designer lead designer Emil Pagliarulo stated during the panel, "I can say we're working on lots of DLC. Lots of stuff brewing up here. God only knows where that may go. What famous landmarks can we destroy next?" The first two expansions took players to Anchorage, Alaska (via a holo-mission) and Pittsburgh. The third expansion, B

Um...still freezes for me. Yes, deleted before re-downloading.
Can't enter "The Mill" anymore (from any entrance) without a severe lock-up, requiring shutting off the console. Happens on either of two Xbox 360 Elites I play the game on. Happens with any/all of my Pitt save-games now, old or new.
Anyone from Bethesda reading Joystiq on a regular basis? (I'd recommend it. ;)
If so, lemme know and I'll snail-mail my save-games on a memory card to ya; maybe that'll help finally track down and squash the freezing problem.
PS: "'Activate' steel ingot"? How about "Take" instead.
PPS: Next game, or next DLC, how about a one-button "Remove and drop" option, or something similar, for those hundreds of file cabinets, lockers, desks and crates that hold useless junk, but that I'll probably wind up checking again days or weeks later when I run across 'em again. Right now it's a pain to take, and then drop, the junk I don't want, in order to get the default "[Empty]" message to display when I look at a container.
Otherwise, game rocks. Can't stop playing.
Speaking of which, gotta get back to it...
