I played through Fallout 3 and enjoyed it, but I'm not going to buy a bunch of these piecemeal DLC packs.

I'll wait until they are all bundled on a Game Of The Year disc, and trade for a used copy of that. Then I can play through all of the content at once.

Storm Eagle @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:40PM

The Broken Steel content was actually worth it I thought. Didn't bite on Pitt or OA. I'm waiting for info. on P.O. As a MD resident, I'm intrigued by the world Bethesda has created so close to home.

Dale @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:18PM

I have completed all of the main missions from all of the DLC released so far. Broken Steel is far and away the better add-on - but only because it removes the level cap and adds in more perks. Of the missions, I think The Pitt was my favourite.

To be honest, anything that keeps me playing the game is welcome, no matter how piecemeal. More so than any other game, I really feel like I squeezed my money's worth out of Fallout 3, and the DLC helped a great deal with that.

Dude thats not going to happen, also you don't have to get all of them, just get PL and BS, those of the ones with the ability to carry on the game and levels (BS) and a full new huge map (PL)

Alex Sohn @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:16PM

Definitely, the more open-ended environment is much needed for this. Even though I can go back to the Pitt, I never find myself going there, because outside of ammo and teddy bears, there's no real purpose. There was basically very little else to do in terms of mini-quests, unmarked quests etc. This looks like it might be more interesting to come back and visit and interact with.

Plus it sounds like it's going to be survivalist heavy themes (based on the bombs not having hit there) so there should hopefully be some very good dialogue trees, Easter eggs, and some unique looking environments.

CH3BURASHKA @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:16PM

But... what about aliens?

Sgt_Quackers @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:19PM

I haven't even finished the main game yet but i still want this.

jeff @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:22PM

When does this and broken steel come out on disk? thats hen I'll get it.

Phil @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:24PM

Broken Steel, Point Lookout and Mothership Zeta are apparently scheduled to ship only on the GOTY edition of Fallout 3, IIRC.

jeff @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:26PM

thats BS. No sale on any of them then, I'll wait for the GOTY

THE WICKER MAN (BWF) (GT: Dalek Prime) @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:25PM

Where the f#$k is Elder Scrolls 5? When is Bethesda doing their bit?

Manly Mcbeefington (Mr. ESC) @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:33PM

Does the name Blink rings a bell to you?

THE WICKER MAN (BWF) (GT: Dalek Prime) @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:48PM

No. That doesn't fit. Elder Scrolls 5: Blink...yuck. That sounds like some goofy splash damage devs fps...oh wait, it is.

Adrian @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:25PM

Is this going to Xbox 360 too?

XBL: Burritoclock PSN:Herbie Hat @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:28PM

It's only 360 according to the tags, the joystiq article doesn't say.

I assumed it was PS3 due to it's placement with the Sony announcments, but if you look carefully...

Joystiq clarify??

Cosmo @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:29PM

All DLC will come to PC, PS3 and 360, though I think the PS3 gets them later than the 360/PC.

Manly Mcbeefington (Mr. ESC) @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:32PM

I'll wait for the retail pack with Broken Steel.

TheAngryGamer @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:39PM

The addiction I have to Rad-X... errr.... Fallout 3 will never, ever go away.

mernmern @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:42PM

Any chance of the level cap being bumped again?

Matt @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:53PM

Todd Howard said no more level cap increases

mernmern @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:56PM

D'oh. But thanks.

The Dark Wayne @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:50PM

sweet, i havent gotten the level 30 achievement cause I seem to have done everything. Realized i was gonna have to wait for the DLC, but not long it seems! Fuck yes! But, where's the New Vegas details? I want ghoul hookers dammit!
Oh God wait, no no i dont!

Velsar @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:52PM

All I did was go around and kill a few things... was pretty easy to get from 28 to 30... especially if you used the instant level up once.

Boff @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:54PM

Waste of a Perk, imho

Velsar @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:00PM

With my specials at high levels or at 9 or maxed, with all other skills at 100 aside from sneaking, and with my having every GOOD perk already, there was nothing else to use it on.

The Dark Wayne @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:09PM

yeah im saving that final perk for the stats to 9 one

Velsar @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:13PM

That's why I used it at 29, and then just went to a few buildings and cleared them out, then I got the special one at 30.

Boff @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:55PM

Really looking forward to this. Downloaded Broken Steel as soon as I hit lvl20!
Who doesn't love leveling up?

Velsar @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:01PM

It's best to download it immediately, even if it's before you even start the game, as it improves many things, contains a light patch for other things, and has multiple other updates to certain areas when the Enclave come.

ECVOICE @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:57PM

ANOTHER DLC? That milking smell just won't go away!

THE WICKER MAN (BWF) (GT: Dalek Prime) @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:02PM

These have been good. Please shut up. Milking implies that they are pointless add-ons with no substance.

Alex Sohn @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:25PM

@ evoice, you sir, are in idiot and a buffoon. If you apply that logic to anything, then we would never advance as a society. I could say the auto industry has milked us for years for making newer better cars, or electronics equipment has been screwing us for introducing HDTVs. And damn those telegraph compaines for bringing out telephones!!!!!!!!!!!!

SHUT THE HELL UP AND GET OUTTA HERE

Jody Anthony (gamertag and psn: JodyAnthony) @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:08PM

best news of the show imo. day one, impressions or not (not that i don't love you, joystiq)

ill trooper @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:24PM

Really unable to get past that light beam coming out of that weapon crookedly.

I can only relieve my OCD by assuming the image represents the exact moment after firing the weapon finishes, in which the weapon experiences a slight recoil from the user adjusting their weight after holding it on target.

Dustin @ Jun 2nd 2009 6:06PM

nope. the new DLC makes your laser crooked. Sorry.

shot @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:31PM

day one for me! I've gotten all the others and love em all!

James @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:31PM

Just think, with enough Fallout DLC, we'll be able to go all over America!

Actually, that's not a bad idea. Releasing towns that might not have huge storyline missions, but tons of little missions and perks that a town might posses, like Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, etc. That would be sick, to see what they envision as 50's New York post-apocalypse.
