Fallout 3 Expansion Packs

point lookout.

never did the alien one

mothership zeta is better than i expected, although it seems to be the one to hate (altho come on op anchorage is def the least interesting). the pitt was better than i thought it would be, although finding all the ingots was a huge pain in the ass (not that you need to but yknow achievement whoring and all). broken steel is big but kinda boring really, but the level cap and extended game make that worthwhile. point lookout however is great, maybe my favorite part of the game outside of the first 5 levels of "oh shit everything can kill me".

i'm enjoying the hell out of [point lookout]! it seems bigger and more open-ended than the others. the missions are more interesting and well-written than average, and some of them are honest-to-god hard. everything is swampy and wet and there's a kind of deliverance/toxic avenger vibe (explicitly, in some of the new enemies)

i'd break it down like this, to an extent: the pitt was ok, but wasted its most interesting environment on a tedious find-100-of-these task. OA is a nice visual break since everything is frosty and blue instead of grubby and brown, but it's a blatant excuse to dole out some game-breaking equipment for 9.99. broken steel was just necessary, the stock ending sucks. if you liked any of the new content point lookout is well worth it.

haha

smart man right here^

I was pretty burned out by the time I did Broken Steel (which was pretty great), I guess I should go back and do Pt. Lookout and Zeta at some point...

PL is the best. Playing thru it after having beaten FONV really gave me the feeling that a lot of ideas tried out in that expansion were used in the newer game.

I still haven't finished the original game

would you believe that despite loving FO3 to pieces (really one of my favorite games of this latest gen) i haven't played a single expansion pack? by the time they came out i was onto other things. in general i seem to have trouble playing DLCs since i tend not to want to go back to a game just a few months after beating it (and in FO3's case I beat it three different times before a single DLC came out)

i got the expansions with the copy I got, but I've only attempted the space ship one. Was a bit frustrating and silly, never bothered finishing it. I also haven't finished the main game either. I bought the strategy guide too.

I think with me I just love games that never end, and with fallout I'm in no hurry to get to the end because then I know that I may never play it again.

I bought the version of FO3 which already had all the expansions and ended up doing Point Lookout when I was about level 13 or 14, that was rough, but in retrospect was probably the most fun I had with the game. It basically took every last stimpack and made me addicted to pretty much every drug in the game to complete all of it.
