For some reason War still never changes. Again.

Balefuego

Alright so I realize I am like a year late to this party and I actually got this game for christmas last year and I never really ended up playing it.

But damn it now I'm gonna do this shit right.

So I know everyone else has already put like 500 hours into this game but you still wanna talk about it right?


The first thing we should talk about is which expansions I should buy and should I buy them right now or wait until I've played through some or all of the game.

Baroque And Roll

Get Broken Steel. And then Point Lookout because that shit was fun.

Mr. Henry Bemis

there's probably some excellent mods out by now as well

Kuribo's Shoe

get all of them

and get them all now so you can play through them as you're fucking about

Zoel

i like shooting people and this game shoots people

ten stars out of five

I played it on the 360 first but after I beat it I was going to come back to it, so now i'm gonna try to discover all the locations in the goty version

I heard Operation Anchorage was shitty and terrible

and I was under the impression that the Broken Steel content took place after the main storyline of the regular game.

Cold Salmon and Hatred

I have owned this game on both pc and 360 and put over 100 hours into each

I fucking love this game

operation anchorage was fun

in order of awesomeness
Broken Steel
Point Lookout
Operation Anchorage
Mothership Zeta <--- awful in my opinion but i felt confined and it felt too easy

broken steel replaces the end of the game

so you want it before the game ends

because the original ending SUCKS

also, Operation Anchorage is the least necessary of the dlc but I thought it was pretty fun

Abracadaniel

I just picked up the GOTY edition, might give it a go soon

Zoel

The original ending is the least imaginative ending in a video game i've ever seen

In fact

Spoiler:

It is procedurally generated

Synthetic Orange

Anchorage has the brokenest items. A stealth suit. STEALTH SUIT.

You left out The Pitt

BoredGamer

Yeah, point lookout, the pitt, and broken steel are the top ones to get. After that.....meh.

Synthetic Orange

Broken Steel, then Point Lookout (once you get a mod to normalize all the enemy health in it) and then all the other dlcs are about equal.

UnbreakableVow

I got the GOTY Edition for 360 a couple weeks ago after playing through the entirety of the main game on PS3.

I find that after beating it once, I'm not able to play it in long stretches anymore. But just picking it up and working on a quest a night seems to be the way to go.

I'm hopeful for New Vegas

L|ama

synth can you please provide us with some kawaii anime mod screens?

Koshian

broken steel
point lookout
the pitt
operation anchorage
mothership zeta

Zoel

New Vegas is the Bethesda B team though

Way too much time is spent by creepy people making mods for Oblivion and Fallout 3.

i guess i got high

The 4/20 article from some pc mag said it was bethesda but not todd howard

and then fallout wiki says obsidian so

BoredGamer

I have a 200+ hour save on this game, and after finally getting around to getting all the achivements to it, i put it back in its metal tin. It will stay in there till i can play it again, which could be years.

I love this game, but we need a break. I almost lost my job to fallout 3, and now i have vanquished the beast, it shall remain in it's metal prison, and i can live my life again.

Well, untill New Vegas comes out.

UnbreakableVow

Bethesda might be publishing it

They're trying out the whole publishing for other developers thing now

Balefuego

alright I am downloading shit riiiiight noooooowwwww

Prohass

Make lots of saves. On seperate files. This is a must.

Cold Salmon and Hatred

i keep a save just before i blow up megaton so i can watch it again and again

I don't really see the point of this

Especially with Broken Steel letting you continue after the ending

I keep one manual save and an auto save and it's never done me wrong

Wrench N Rockets

I have played none of the DLC except for Operation Anchorage, which was so shitty that it turned me off of DLC for ever and ever.

Well, that and Bringing Down the Sky.

Shit sucked.

Bringing Down the Sky was awesome

Prohass

I often decide I want to go back and do a mission differently, and I have had glitches fuck save files up occasionally. Also I had a friend who wasnt used to these kind of games and he would play for a long time then boom car explodes. Basically I keep 10 saves and just overwrite them as I go.

Broken Steel is awesome, and the Pitt was interesting. Basically I dont think they're worth the cash, but if you find yourself out of stuff to do Broken Steel is great.

Not 10 bucks awesome. It was like two hours long.

Balefuego

In my infinite wisdom I have decided to get all of the DLC.


except Anchorage

Prohass

Thats pretty wise, they're all pretty enjoyable and varied. Zeta was fun because hey it was fucking aliens, but it definately got repetitive and dragged. It and Anchorage were my least favourites, but I still liked em because they were something different and Fallout 3 is just damn fun to play.

It only cost 5 bucks

Wrench N Rockets

See now there's like the ultra edition or something that has the whole game and all the DLC and it costs the same as the regular game. How is that fair?

I swear it was 10 when it came out.
