given how easy it is to just map travel back to megaton and get your stuff repaired for a few caps if you didn't use this mod, I don't find that it makes it any easier in any way. it's just more convenient...instead of taking a few mins to go back to megaton, sell the conductors, scrap metal, etc to get caps and pay for a repair, you just use the stuff to repair in the field.

and not everything repairs everything

The Pitt is a real add-on for Fallout 3. 8.5/10

3/26/2009 11:16:11 AM

I think I'm going to have to get this...

3/26/2009 11:27:33 AM

Its phat dude, and really has a story to tell to go along with it. I can see them making this into another add-on, say after you free the slaves, then city gains life then you have to maybe defend it or something, or the guy your helping is a snake and you have to go back to kill him. I can see a lot to do with The Pitt after these few quests are over with.

Not to mention play through FO3 again as a good person.

I have the PC version for sale for $15 see here http://brentroad.com/message_topic.aspx?topic=561877

3/26/2009 11:33:01 AM

^^ Or evil in my case.

3/26/2009 2:39:58 PM

The Pitt is well worth the money in my opinion. The environment is done very well. Tribal power armor looks cool too.

3/28/2009 8:26:52 AM

Forget the tribal power armor, I just "borrowed" Ashur's set instead. It was very entertaining ride though a bit easy (my fault for using a level 20 character who, once finding an assault rifle, pretty much made short work of all of God's mutated creation).

3/30/2009 10:46:39 AM

Just installed the Pip-Boy 3000 theme to my blackberry

4/20/2009 11:01:52 PM

That is fucking awesome.

4/21/2009 12:09:43 AM

that is fucking awesome

4/21/2009 11:55:42 AM

That's so awesome that it makes me want to buy a blackberry.

"At a media event in London, publisher Bethesda Softworks revealed the third installment of Fallout 3 downloadable content (DLC) for Microsoft Xbox 360 and PC. And unlike the previous expansions, Operation Anchorage and The Pitt, this third and final add-on changes the end of the main game."

4/21/2009 12:37:38 PM

new fallout spinoff coming out late next year. developed by obsidian

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallout:_New_Vegas

4/21/2009 1:30:50 PM

Obsidian must be the go to RPG sequel/spinoff to leach money from a successful game.

4/21/2009 1:44:53 PM

Point Lookout
Point Lookout is the fourth downloadable content pack, and takes place in Point Lookout State Park in Maryland. Unlike other areas in Fallout, no bombs were dropped on Point Lookout. Humanity has left it behind and it is now described as a large swamp wasteland. Point Lookout is scheduled for a June 2009 release.

Mothership Zeta
Mothership Zeta is the fifth downloadable content pack, and follows the main character after being abducted by aliens. The entire thing takes place on the alien spacecraft. It is set for a July 2009 release.

and all five DLC packs are going to made available for PS3 owners

5/20/2009 9:35:13 AM

^ shit... too bad i sold fallout 3, 4 months ago when they said they would never have DLC for ps3.

I actually have hope for this. Obsidian is made up of many people from the original Black Isle Studio.

5/21/2009 10:58:23 AM

i picked up the broken steel expansion last night. still not to the content though, because i started a new character (evil this time!). Getting to see a lot of new content, really enjoying it again this time through.

Also helps that i'm going small guns/big guns spec instead of stealth/melee. Getting to actually use vats makes this game so much easier.

5/21/2009 12:50:15 PM

The Chinese stealth armor from Op Anchorage has ruined the game for me. Its too easy now, but I can't resist wearing it.

yea, i'm kinda excited for it also... may even be more "fallout" than fallout 3 is because of the people involved.

5/21/2009 4:21:16 PM

I bought all 3 of the expansions a few days ago. I'm nearing the end of the Anchorage pack, and while it's playable, it's kind of boring. I'll see how this thing applies to the rest of my FO3 travels (I started the expansions as a level 5 char).

5/23/2009 9:29:34 PM

i played this at launch. 27 hours as an evil sniper. ate me some corpses, did some side quests, and finished the main one at lvl 20. was fun, but had no desire to play again. tried to do a good science/big guns guy but it got old quick.

i figured it had been long enough so i popped the disk in and started a super strong female melee character. it is a nice difference. she has as many hp at lvl 4 as i did at lvl 20 with the sniper. sure is difficult in some spots, but its fun and i dont have to worry about ammo, just health packs.

5/23/2009 9:54:55 PM

can anyone email/mail me a copy of this so I dont have to buy it?

Or know where I can DL it lulz

5/25/2009 8:48:43 PM

point lookout is out today

the map is supposed to be pretty big. almost 1/5th the size of the capital wasteland

should be fun

6/23/2009 10:15:59 AM

Point Lookout is awesome so far. My guy is level 20 w/100 small guns, and I had to use about 20 stimpacks to beat the first part of the main PLook quest. (On very hard level)

6/24/2009 1:56:42 PM

once someone finished point lookout, let us know how long it took please. if its only a hour or 2 (*ahem* operation anchorage) im not really interested in paying 10 bucks.

6/30/2009 1:50:03 PM

I think it's worth it just for the difficulty. There is also a perk that makes your automatic weapon damage go apeshit, and you can pick up a double barrel shotgun.

My dlc rankings:

1a- Point Lookout
1b-Broken Steel
2-The Pitt
3-Op Anchorage(in a landslide)

6/30/2009 3:56:34 PM

I just finished point lookout also, best DLC by far.

7/10/2009 11:35:38 AM

the choppy frame rate in this game really bothered me

i just can't pick it up again - i beat it but there was still so much left for me to do

7/10/2009 11:45:59 AM

^?

You mean on a console?

7/10/2009 12:38:50 PM

yes

7/10/2009 1:05:29 PM

Ahh. I think i did notice that when my friend was playing it on his 360. I can't imagine not playing this game on a computer though. Would suck.

7/10/2009 1:07:52 PM

i have the ps3 version which is said to have an even worse frame rate than the 360

i got right to the end and started playing COD:WAW

months and months later i popped it in expecting to at least see an update to deal with the game freezing but there wasn't anything

i doubt i will buy any more games on the ps3 from bethesda

they totally shat on it

7/10/2009 4:23:04 PM

My game has never frozen. (360)

7/10/2009 6:28:52 PM

my PS3 copy has never frozen either. did you buy the game used?

7/11/2009 12:38:51 AM

Mothership Zeta comes out today.

8/3/2009 12:13:30 AM

^^no

i take superb care of my discs

maybe this game just heated the ps3 up more than the others

but i mean after it froze i would just reset and it would run fine

except for the few times it froze multiple times in the span of 30 minutes

8/3/2009 11:43:51 AM

Man, I'm getting a hankering to pick this up again. I destroyed the original campaign, are any of the xpacs worth the money? (mothership zeta excluded since no one's played it yet)

8/3/2009 11:49:41 AM

Broken Steel and Point Lookout are worth it.

The Pitt is a tossup.

Probably skip OA.

8/3/2009 2:47:20 PM

get broken steel first, since it raises the level cap, then get point lookout.

the pitt and anchorage are pretty lame

8/3/2009 3:16:34 PM

Reading about operation anchorage it seems lame, but what's wrong with the pitt?

8/3/2009 4:05:18 PM

I enjoyed the Pitt, not as much at BS or PL, but still fun.

8/3/2009 5:47:09 PM

Just finished Mothership Zeta.

It's actually set up a lot like OA in structure, but much better. For one thing you get to use your own stuff, and keep the stuff looted from your enemies. And you interact with real people, rather than simulations.

8/3/2009 8:31:10 PM

I regret selling my 360 now

I loved this game (& series) so damn much it makes me want to use the pipboy character on my obituary portrait.
