Fallout 3 DLC: Which one's should I get?

[meepop]

Ok, so what with QuakeCon and all, Bethesda and id games are having sales on Steam. One of the sales is the FO3: Collector's Edition, which I kick myself for buying just the vanilla (Just FO3, no DLC) a couple months ago. Thus, because all of the DLCs are about $1.69, which one(s) should I buy?

 

[Klumpfot]

I'd suggest Operation Anchorage and The Pitt. The first is very battle-oriented, but in an interesting way, and it nets you a -very- nice armour. The second is mostly good by virtue of its interesting setting.

broken steel is a must because you get to continue after the end and i suggest operation ancorage for the most broken armour in the game, the pitt doesnt realy have anything good its mostly a fetch quest, point lookout is hard balls so if you want challange thats a good one, and if you like sience and energy weapons go for mothership zeta since it has some great guns.

My three favorites in order are Broken Steel, Point Lookout, and Mothership Zeta.

 

[Atrocious Joystick]

Buy all of em? Should easily be affordable.

 

[James Beresford]

Personally speaking, I would recommend Broken Steel and Mothership Zeta, I loved that DLC.

What he (she?) said. That's only $8.50. Oh how I wish I could afford Fallout 3 GOTY right now.

 

[GodsAndFishes]

I'd say just Broken Steel to get rid of the [insert obsene words here] ending. I personally wouldn't bother with the rest unless you decide to get the GOTYE.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Broken Steel is essential - raised level cap and proper ending.

Avoid Mothership Zeta, it's just a long boring corridor shooter with bullet sponging enemies.

 

[MADrevilution]

broken steel and point lookout, point lookout is one of the best DLC's for any game ive ever played

 

[Stu1701]

Most people will say Broken Steel is the must buy of the bunch, and I agree. It's the only one that continues after the game ends, making it so when you beat it you can just keep playing that game instead of having to start a new one.

My other two favorites are Operation Anchorage and Mothership Zeta. OA lets you playing out a simulation of the Battle of Anchorage and in MZ you get beamed up to an alien ship, free other captives, fight the alien crew, and it's a good place to steal a bunch of awesome weapons.

The Pitt and Point Lookout are really good, too. With each only priced at $1.69, I'd say just buy them all, that's an awesome deal.

I found Mothership Zeta utterly terrible. I strongly advise against paying money for it. Hell, I'd even advise against playing it if you got it free. It wasn't even worth the time it took to complete.

Point Lookout was... alright, I guess. Plenty of content, but it got boring.

Haven't played the others yet.

 

[AnarchistFish]

Anchorage bored me. Zeta was ok.

Broken Steel, The Pitt and Point Lookout are quite good. The Pitt is quite short though

 

[Skorpyo]

All except Zeta, really. Zeta ended up being nothing but a big grind.

 

[Paragon Fury]

In order of goodness;

1: Broken Steel
2: Point Lookout
3: The Pitt
4: Operation Anchorage
5: Mothership Zeta

 

[AnarchistFish]

In order of goodness;

1: Broken Steel
2: Point Lookout
3: The Pitt
4: Operation Anchorage
5: Mothership Zeta

I pretty much agree completely with this except I'd swap around 4 and 5

All of them. If that is not an option, these ones in this order, you choose how many you can buy.

1. Broken Steel. Increased level cap, no abrupt ending to the game, more quests after the last quest.
2. Point Lookout. Very fun expansion, a close tie to the Pitt for me.
3. The Pitt. Very fun with some amazing weapons that became regular weapons of mine once I left.
4. Mothership Zeta. This one is also fun in many ways, closely beating out Operation Anchorage. Alien goo is very necessary for some weapons and just for convenience.
5. Operation Anchorage. A fun one time machine, has amazing armour and suits you can get from it as well as a gigantic weapons payload. It gets boring once you do it your 3rd or 4th time (different characters), but the Chinese Stealth Suit is amazing.
