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


Recommended Posts

Oh the Drone Cannon - it was powerful but never hit the target! No I didn't find the hidden one, or if I did I didn't pick it up because I was carrying too much.

I didn't get the Alien Blaster - as soon as I got to the UFO I got beamed up and when I got back to the Wasteland the UFO was gone, unless I'm in a different place now - haven't had a proper look around yet. I did use that woman to repair some of my stuff but yeah she's expensive - I was kinda hoping she'd get killed so I could get all my caps back!

No the Alien Blaster isn't from this DLC. This is what I'm talking about (scroll down a bit). I definitely consider it one of the best weapons in the game.

Thankfully caps wasn't an issue when repairing, I finally had a reason to use 33,000+ caps that I thought weren't going to waste.

I reformatted and got around to re-installing and patching it, was testing to see if the patch worked and thought "why the hell not cheat?" so I have an Alien Blaster at 100% quality that doesn't degrade, with infinite ammo :devil:

I'll get around to properly finishing the main quest some day (I backed my saves up), but I'm going to grab a few DLC's first (Zeta and Broken Steel definitely, thinking of Anchorage just for the stealth suit)

Oh, apparently Mothership Zeta is the last DLC - that sucks :(

They said they were only planning for 5 when they started the DLC's, but they said after making them that they had a lot of fun making them.

I also remember reading something about the possibility of them getting in another company to make more DLC's.

Alien DLC was easy. The aliens seem to be week in the legs and most of the time, one shot with the right weapon will kill them.

Only semi useful? The Tesla Cannon was awesome for me! I tried the Disintegrator and found that although it could fire off several shots in quick succession it didn't harm the enemies much, whereas the Tesla Cannon is slow to reload but it only took 2 hits or sometimes 3 to kill any of the enemies. I'm back in the wasteland now anyway and looking forward to the next DLC (whenever that is). I'm also hoping to make a fortune from all of the Alien Crystals I picked up! lol

Didnt find the tesla cannot useful myself. It is good against a lot of other enemies, but the aliens it didnt do to well. By the time you reload, you are getting meleed or shot several times. And since you cannot repair your armor, it gets to be a pita towards the end.

I kept using the disintegrator and was able to kill the enemies quickly and with a few shots in VATS mode. Also, aiming for their weapon first helps.

The "boss" at the end I killed with one shot...disappointing...and no, I am not on the easiest level.

Cool to have your own space ship. wish you could fly around and do things with it tho....

No more exploring at night.

I also ran into a deathclaw raping 2 Brotherhood Outcasts near the Super-Duper Mart, not fair to throw something like that at a level 9 character (I ran)

Edit: And the army checkpoint near the garage, the Mr. Gutsy there managed to set off the truck while fighting something and blew itself and the thing up, free ammo for me.

If that's too limited, you can modify the configuration files and set it to absolutely any colour you want (it's a bit involved though)

I like the amber because it reminds me of the old monochrome PC monitors (like they have in game, but orange), I had an old PC I bought at a second hand market for $2 that had a nice 12 inch orange monochrome screen, worked great until the hard drive died (it was great when I got it, there was a guy in his 30's there trying to haggle the guy saying it didn't work and was only good for parts, I plugged it in and booted it in front of him and he walked off)

Edit: http://www.tweakguides.com/Fallout3_8.html down the bottom (last paragraph) is the instructions for setting a custom colour. Try 4278255615 for fun.

I'm thinking of getting a few DLC's, Broken Steel is a must, but are there any other ones you guys like? (I'm thinking Mothership Zeta for the new energy weapons and such, but I haven't seen or read much about the others)

I bought Operation Anchorage, Broken Steel and Point Lookout.

Operation Anchorage was awful, just not in the spirit of Fallout 3 at all, the only reason I'd say go with OA is to get the glitched Winterized armour that practically does not degrade.

Broken Steel is an absolute must, most enjoyable of the 3 for me.

Point Lookout is also very enjoyable, especially the tripped out drug taking high bit, man that was freaky

The Pitt never really appealed to me and Mothership Zeta has had bad reviews iirc so I don't think I will waste my money on it.

Then again it's upto the kind of player you are I suppose, the energy weapons might be alluring to some, but I prefer Ol' Painless and a low weight duster outfit with red's bandana to power armour and lasers. Prefer to be the sneaky hunter than the dive right in and killlll kind of player.

Broken Steel is a must like you mentioned and really the only other DLC I would shell out money for would have to be Point Lookout. The others aren't really in the spirit of the game. Yes, the Pitt and Mothership Zeta are fun at times, but they are completely linear (especially Broken Steel). Point Lookout is my absolute favorite because it is an open world just like the game so you can do things are you pace.

I read an interview the other day with some developers and they talked about how Point Lookout was the exact kind of DLC that they wanted for Fallout 3.

Operation Anchorage was awful, just not in the spirit of Fallout 3 at all, the only reason I'd say go with OA is to get the glitched Winterized armour that practically does not degrade.

That's a glitch is it? Always wondered how come it never degraded.

Decided on getting Broken Steel, Operation Anchorage and Mothership Zeta, going to get The Pitt and Point Lookout eventually though.

You're given the simulation version, not the normal version at the end of it.

The simulation version has about 1 million health points.

Got one of the Expansion Pack Packs today (Broken Steel + Point Lookout)

The boost in enemy damage was very surprising, I've gone the entire game without dying once and within 5 minutes a super mutant overlord kills me with his tri-beam laser. Even plain Enclave troops do a fair bit more damage (the re-spawning ones near the citadel/library were always a easy source of Tesla Armour and Plasma rifles, now they can put up a good fight)

Can't repair the tri-beam laser rifle with a plain laser rifle though, which is annoying (got 2 100% quality laser rifles along with the unique Wazer Wifle at 100%)

So far broken steel is nice, I activated the purifier last night, Liberty Prime kicks a lot of ass, Managed to get Hellfire armour at the start of the bridge and by the end of it I had it up to 100% quality (as well as an heavy incinerator at 100%)

One thing that was annoying, I went into the rotunda, killed Autumn and his 2 pals, took their stuff and got fawkes to activate the purifier, the game then ended (unexpected), so I re-loaded the last save, ran through this time not looting Autumn's body for his gear and I activated the purifier, then I woke up in the Citadel emotarghrf6.gif

Got the GotY edition by winning a bet ;), finishing up Broken Steel tonight, hopefully heading into the Pitt as well. Been using the winterized armor from Operation Anchorage, and blazing a trail with my trusty unique plasma rifle. I don't think I've used a different weapon ever once I get it from Rivet City.

    • Last week I was investigating an issue with contacts and tried using the new Outlook. In the real (Classic) Outlook, you can easily go to any Outlook folder and present it in a Table View, then customize the columns to show/sort any field, which was exactly what I needed. But of course, the new Outlook doesn't have this feature at all. I gave up. Oh, and can we possibly stop claiming the new Outlook has PST support? What it really has is the ability to use the real Outlook in the background to pretend to have PST support. There is no PST support without the real Outlook installed.
    • Honestly just before Panos left it started to feel like MS just wasnt interested in them so they were being less innovative with them, and then when he DID leave for Amazon its kind of clear the direction is gone. It felt like Panos had both goals and drive, and a vision, but it felt like no matter what his title/department was the Surface devices never had the full interest of the rest of management and he was just pushing a bolder up a hill that MS was adding dirt to as he went.
    • A roguelike and a 4X strategy game are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The final leg of the Epic Games Store's mystery giveaways promotion just landed, and it brought along two more games to keep. Last week's Lonestar and Calico giveaways have now been replaced with copies of Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest to claim for PC gamers. As always, the game is yours to add permanently to your Epic Games Store library within the next seven days. Diving into the games, Songs of Conquest is developed by Lavapotion. This is a turn-based 4X strategy experience that has players making tough decisions and participating in tactical combat while also managing their kingdom. "Songs of Conquest is a turn-based strategy game inspired by 90s classics. Lead powerful magicians called Wielders and venture to lands unknown," explains the developer. "Wage battles against armies that dare oppose you, hunt for powerful artifacts and expand your territory. The world is ripe for the taking – seize it." Meanwhile, Rogue Waters comes from developer Ice Code Games. This rogue-lite experience has you taking the role of Captain Cutter as he commands his ship and crew through procedurally generated encounters. You'll be recruiting and training crew, use sea creatures, and battle with other ships and pirates. "Set sail as Captain Cutter, a pirate caught in a deadly struggle for power and vengeance," adds the developer. "Navigate dangerous waters, unleash mythical sea creatures, and outwit enemies as you chase legendary treasure and confront dark secrets." The newly available Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest giveaways on the Epic Games Store are set to run until June 11, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, a new freebie will take its place on the same day, which is slated to be Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.
