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


Recommended Posts

Why do they still use MS points on Games for Windows Live? If I had some points left over after buying this DLC, I wouldn't know what to spend the rest on.

Exactly the same way vouchers work.

Shops get money back on vouchers from people a. not spending them and b. not spending what little is left over.

MS price their DLC and decide the ammounts of points they sell on a card etc. cleverly so that you always have a crappy ammount of points left after you buy anything, it's never enough to buy just that one last thing, if you get what I meant.

So far I don't have many custom or personal weapons except for Sydney's SMG which I find to be pretty effective (except when sniping.) I took down an Enclave Vertibird with it without using VATS. That was cool and unexpected. Only problem was that it hadn't droppeed it's soldiers yet so I missed out on the XP and ammo for not killing them.

I had no clue you could shoot those helicopters down! I must try that.

Try shooting them with a Fatman as they are about to land. You will get the satisfaction of destroying the Vertibird and also the privilege of looting the bodies of the Enclave soldiers strewn around. Most of them will be appearing Tesla Armour.

The Pitt has been postponed by a month from Feb 2009 to March 2009.

The Pitt will be the second Fallout 3 downloadable content pack, to be released in early March 2009 for Xbox 360 and Games for Windows Live.

The following is based on previews of The Pitt, an upcoming Fallout 3 DLC, and may contain spoilers.

In this DLC pack, the player will journey to the industrial raider town called The Pitt, located in the remains of Pittsburgh. This DLC is possibly based on some sort of conflict, suggested by the directive to "choose your side" in its advertised description. It is speculated that the player may have different karma-oriented methods of participating in the conflict.

During the latest interview with Bethesda, they state that Pittsburgh was not hit directly by an atomic bomb, but the surrounding water still became radiated making the people change in bad ways.

Apparently The Pitt will be accessed via railway, and will probably be loaded as a separate map from the Capital Wasteland. The Lone Wanderer will go there disguised as a slave in order to join, or usurp, a tribe of raiders that have taken over the steel yards there.

History:

Owyn Lyons saved many young children, including Paladin Kodiak, from The Pitt and rid the area of "scum" in the surrounding regions. This was known as Operation "Scourge". The area was at the center of three, flowing irradiated rivers that altered the population of the area. How it altered them is unknown (Possible FEV virus may have turned them into Super Mutants, high radiation may have turned them feral etc.). Though, considering the history surrounding the area, the DLC is most probably set to take place in the Lone Wanderer's time, as a holotape in Rockopolis indicates heavy raider and slaver presence in The Pitt. Todd Howard released on January 30th that "The Pitt" will have four achievements worth 100 points.

I feel Bethesda should release a DLC on the lines of Oblivion's Shivering Isles. Oh, that was just like another game :)

Yes, I agree. Instead of releasing Anchorage, I would have rather had them spent more time on more fulfilling (and long) DLC.

Keeps crashing when I leave vats to shoot people emotarghrf6.gif

I was going to blame ffdshow, until I stopped it loading when Fallout 3 was running, so it's not that (might be the drivers, they're slightly out of date, but only by a single release)

Edit: And I overwrote my newer save with an older one >.<

The Lincoln Repeater is a nice custom rifle. Visit the National Archives.

The Lincoln's Repeater is not a custom made weapon(if that is what you meant). It is a .44 magnum rifle.

It is not found in the National Archives but found in the upper level of the Museum of History.

I'm having a great time going through a second time, game is definitely one of the best from last year.

I can only hope the next one isn't too far away, I think I would prefer a Fallout 4 to another elder scrolls, that is unless they took a more simpler route to levelling and skills in the next ES and also gave us the chance to get a house near the beginning, its a life saver in this game being able tos ave thigns for repairing later on.

If latest rumors are to be believed, they are working actually on the next Elder Scrolls game which now moves from Cyrodil province to Skyrrim,another province of Tamriel. Bethesda's each and every game will get my money.

Cool.

Me and Oblivion didn't really get along too well, I enjoyed it for a bit, but not near the level that I love Fallout 3, but depending what they do with the next one I might get it.

There are two pieces of Fallout 3 DLC on the way. One called "The Pitt", one called "Broken Steel". They were due soon, but according to Bethesda, they'll now be here a little later.

Don't worry, though. It's nothing drastic. "The Pitt" will now be out in March, with "Broken Steel" out a month later, in April.

By May, then, you'll not only have new areas to explore and new quests to complete, but an expansion to the game's level cap as well.

As with the first piece of DLC, "Operation Anchorage", both will only be available on PC and 360.

Well I knew that The Pitt was delayed from a couple posts above but I didn't know about Broken Steel. Sad days for Fallout 3. :(

Here is some more info on the 3rd DLC :

Broken Steel

Broken Steel will be the third Fallout 3 downloadable content pack, likely to be released in April 2009 for Xbox 360 and Games for Windows Live.

The following is based on previews of Broken Steel, an upcoming Fallout 3 DLC, and may contain spoilers.

In this DLC pack, you will join the ranks of the Brotherhood of Steel and rid the Capital Wasteland of the Enclave remnants once and for all. It will let player continue their adventures after the end of the main quest and raise the level cap to 30. It will also include new enemies and perks.

It is confirmed that the player character will still be the Lone Wanderer, even if the "sacrifice" option was taken at the end of Take it Back!.

The unused Enclave Shock Trooper armor may be used, or was a placeholder for another armor.

It is also unknown if there would be a bad karma option for tasks as joining the enclave. This DLC pack may just be a good karma one, which can also raise questions if there would be a future DLC pack for evil characters.

It is possible that the ending will be changed so you can get your follower (whether it be a robot, a ghoul, or a super mutant) will press the button instead of you. This was only talked about a little in the OXM podcast Episode 150 in the interview with Todd Howard.

According to Jeff Gardiner: "In our third DLC, ?Broken Steel,? we?ve come up with a way of allowing the player to continue on past the game ending? by changing it!"

Todd Howard released on January 30th that "Broken Steel" will have six achievements worth 150 points.

    • 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.
    • LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches.

RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used.

    • Gf needed a new Surface and was looking at a Surface Laptop because of the Snapdragon. Seeing as it was a two year old chip she just decided to get a Lenovo Yoga 2 in 1 instead. Personally this Surface Ultra Cassis reminds me a bit of Razor. It would be interesting if it could handle proper gaming and be 17 inch.
