[Official] Fallout 3 - DLC for 360/PC released!


Recommended Posts

Fallout3 is still extremely fun to play. Finished the Pitt (finding the damn 100 ingots was a pain in the royal arse), half way through Anchorage, and next is Broken Steel. Can't wait to play the next DLCs! Have yet to play it on Win 7 RC tho.

Should I finish the main quest line before I download Broken Steel? So I can get the most out of the game playing both original and DLC ending?

Don't play the final quest "Take it Back" unless you download Broken Steel. This is because the DLC modifies the game files to change the game's ending and also replaces .bik video files. There might be a possibility that your save game might get corrupted if you download the DLC after completing the game.

Okay, just cos I'm not finished the main storyline yet, have gone off it and not gotten back in. So I won't be purchasing the BS DLC for a while.

Which is the quest before Take it Back, just so I don't start the quest without knowing it!

Ack, I've just let Roy Phillips and his bunch of bunch of ghouls into Tenpenny Tower - however, I had saved a load of stuff in my room. I take it theres no way I can get back in there, without going back a save is there? I've killed all the ghouls I can find in Tenpenny Tower - but it's still not letting me in.

I want my Precision Gattling Laser back :(

Why don't you use the Vengeance from the Deathclaw Sanctuary? It has a damage of 176 as compared to the Precision's 132 provided you have Energy Weapons skill maxed out. The best Gatling Laser in the entire game undoubtedly is the Vengeance.

Yeah you can access them any time, except for the Broken Steel one, which is a direct continuation of the end of the game, so for that you need to complete game at least. But for all the others you just get a new radio station that gives you directions to the new areas/quests.

If I get one of these expansions, can I access them anytime or do I have to start a new character?

the pit and operation anchorage can be done at any time if you havent completed the game ( just go back to an earlier save if you have completed it) , broken steele happens is only avaible after you complete the game

I've never even heard of that to be honest.

I'm not going to bother trying to get it though, as I'm sick of finding Deathclaws everywhere and using all my ammo on them. Only for them to have a crippled leg and leave me dead. Again.

Unless they're Enclave Deathclaws, however..

Explore my friend.Do it as much as you can in this game. With Fawkes, I don't see any difficulty in encountering Deathclaws. If you are annoyed by Deathclaws, what about the Albino Radscorpions introduced in Broken Steel which are thrice as powerful as normal Deathclaws? The Vengeance is the most powerful Energy Weapon in the game and with so abundant EC Pack in the game, you will rarely run out of ammo.Also don't forget to collect the Endurance Bobblehead in the Deathclaw Sanctuary.

Happy hunting in Fallout 3 brother :) .

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution by Taras Buria Earlier this week, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its brand-new high-end laptop powered by NVIDIA's brand-new RTX Spark processor. As usual, Microsoft gives each new device a unique wallpaper, and the Surface Laptop Ultra is no exception. While the device is not publicly available yet, somebody has already extracted its wallpaper, giving everyone a chance to get a piece of the upcoming laptop in its full-resolution glory. The Surface Laptop Ultra has a very dark, abstract wallpaper that resembles the stock wallpapers in Windows Server, albeit with much less color. Having this dark, grim wallpaper highlights the laptop's mini-LED display and its ability to cut off parts of the screen's backlight to achieve OLED-like black levels. However, if you also like light wallpapers, we made a white version by simply inverting its colors. You can download both wallpapers below (click the image, right-click it, and select "Save as"): The Surface Laptop Ultra is expected to launch later this year. Microsoft is not revealing full details yet, including the price. However, Microsoft confirmed up to 1 petaflop of AI performance and RTX 5070-level of GPU performance. The heart of the laptop has up to 20 CPU cores and 6,144 GPU cores. Additionally, Microsoft and NVIDIA boast high CPU efficiency for all-day battery life. As for the display, it is a 15-inch mini-LED display with a pixel density of 262 ppi and a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits. Of course, not everyone needs this amount of power, and certainly not everyone can afford it. For those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is also preparing the next-generation Surface Pro powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite processor. Weeks ahead of the announcement, details about this computer were leaked by a retailer. Do you like the Surface Laptop Ultra's stock wallpaper? Share your thoughts in the comments.

    • From all that I've read on the subject--not that much, really--it looks to me like companies and parents are trying to protect themselves from children using their parents accounts to run up giant bills, sometimes in the thousands of dollars, and the first the parents know about it is when they get sued... Internet companies have been sued for tailoring their ads to children, which is kind of old news. My belief is that policing starts at home with the parents, and the reason that so many laws that can't be enforced are being passed is because parents are eschewing their responsibilities, claiming not enough time, not enough knowledge, etc. Giving kids cell phones sans Internet connectivity is a good place to start--confine Internet activity to PCs in the home that the parents regulate. My kids are all grown and gone, I'm happy to say... They have their own kids to worry about.

    • BTW DXVK is also available on Windows and offers similar benefits like on Linux when it comes to performance, at least in some titles. The Raceroom racing sim for example even offers DXVK as one of its officially supported options and it can achieve ridiculous improvements in certain situations, like quite literally doubling (or more) the framerates
