    First off I checked out the "Similar Topics" list of threads and I didn't see this topic asked so if I missed it, I'm sorry. 
     
    To my question(s). 
     
    I'm coming up on the end of FO3 (GotY, 360 version, 105hrs in...) and I've got 3 missions to do.  
     
    Picking up the Trail. 
    American Dream.  
    Take it Back. 
     (plus 2 misc. missions) 

    I have yet to do any of the DLC packs/side missions: 
     
    Operation:Anchorage 
    The Pitt 
    Broken Steel 
    Point Lookout 
    MotherShip Zeta 
     
    Anyways I'm wondering, can I finish off the main game proper (Take it Back) and still tackle ALL the DLC stuff afterwards?

    Reason I'm asking is, I'd kinda like to finish off the main game (been playing this and only this since Oct16th 2009) before diving into the 5 dlc packs and I just don't wanna screw anything up. 
     
    I read somewhere that you cannot do Broken Steel after you finish the game. True?

    You can continue playing after you finish the game and do all the DLC if the Broken Steel pack is loaded.

    If i were you i would head on over and do the DLC's first. Just makes it more simpler i believe, plus you get some kick ass weapons that can help you out greatly. Because you cannot finish the rest of them if you don't have Broken Steel loaded as Chirag4 has mentioned.
     
    Just as long as you finish Mother-ship Zeta, Point Lookout, The Pitt and Operation: Anchorage, you should be fine to continue on and complete "Take It Back" so you can play Broken Steel.

    Yeah with the GotY edition everything is loaded and ready to go as soon as you leave Vault 101. 
     
    So I should do the DLC first and then finish the game proper?

    Do whichever one you want. You get some sweet gear from the DLC, especially from Anchorage, but it really doesn't matter which order you do it in.

    They all have some great rewards, my personal favorite is the rewards from Anchorage. But Broken Steel has it's share of new stuff to get as well.

    Cool thanks everyone.  
     
    I'm about to finish off the last of the misc. missions, then the last 2 main missions and then start up all the DLC. 
     
    Can't wait.
