Third time's the charm: Fallout 3's Broken Steel reviewed

[nemowolf]

From Ars Technica:

Bethesda's swan song for Fallout 3 is finally here. Before you ask: yes, it's worth your money. We review the newest update inside.

I passed on the first DLC correctly ... The second looked interesting but not sure i wanted to pay for only a few hours fun. This may look like its worthwhile to get especially for the extra levels and such.

Yea the first download was a waste of time and money. (8 hours of game play my A*** *Bethesda*)

Second I passed on due to previous one. The 3rd one I will have to download later after reading about it, it may be worthy of my hard earned money.......

Depending on how you developed your character, evil slaver route ... you can find alot of nifty stuff in the Pitt, aka second DLC, but if your a goodie goodie ... i think its worth skipping.


If you look into the 3rd DLC, they are adding a perk that lets you "respawn" dogmeat. That alone is so worth it.

Well I have lost my previous saves so I will have to start again anyway.... Not to bothered though as I had done all the quests. Getting dogmeat back would be great as I find I turn around and he has been killed by a deathclaw and you havent saved recently.

But more quests is a huge plus, the map is way too large for the small amount of quest you get IMO

Expand your game, BTW there is Dogmeat plug-ins to keep him alive and they are free.

The primary advantage of PC game play. The ability to end up with 3 times the original game from player added resources. I have found players who write modules or plug-ins superior to the game manufacturer.

I like the fact that I have an Oblivion game that goes well beyond the original. As will Fallout 3 as time goes on.

I haven't gotten any of the FO3 DLCs yet. Someday I will.

There are mods that will work on the console version as well as PC.

As for Oblivion, I helped a friend develop a mod that's very well received on TESNEXUS. I didn't do any actual work, but I playtested it and threw some ideas out. One of the quest lines goes into something I suggested (I'm cool, huh).

PM me if you're interested in the Ob mod, I don't want to clog up an FO3 thread with links.


Also, if you're in the mood for mindless but challenging killing sprees in FO3, I recommend the mod Rat Trap. It took me several hours and several reloads to complete. There's also a weapons mod that adds like 200 new guns and melee items, but I can't remember what it was called. And it was compatible at least with the Alaska DLC.

Okay ... spill the beans. How does one get this to work?
