Now that all DLC packs are 400 MS points each I've decided to buy one, but which one is the better one?
Fallout 3
Game » consists of 45 releases. Released Oct 28, 2008
In Bethesda's first-person revival of the classic post-apocalyptic RPG series, the player is forced to leave Vault 101 and venture out into the irradiated wasteland of Washington D.C. to find his or her father.
Mothership Zeta or Point Lookout?
I have Point Lookout and its absolutely brilliant. I haven't heard a single good thing about Mothership Zeta. Reviews seem to reflect this.
Agreed - Point Lookout definately. It is the most free roaming of the DLCs which works massively in its favour.
Dude, no question. Mother Ship Zeta is shit compared to Point Lookout. Zeta is super linear, and the only thing good about it is the alien epoxy (use it to repair your weapons) and maybe a few guns. Lookout on the otherhand, that one kicks ass. I won't say anything to spoil it other than it won't leave you disappointed.
Buy Point Lookout. It's the best expansion for Fallout 3. Zeta is a bit crap and only really worth buying if you wan't all the achievements. Otherwise i wouldn't bother with it at all.
Point Lookout is widely accepted as the best of the DLC. It is the only DLC that adds a new area to the map that you can actually return to on a regular basis. It is easily the deepest, longest and most entertaining of all the DLC. Zeta is okay, but it is more of a distraction, although it does offer some pretty useful items.
I was faced with pretty much this same dilemma. I only had Anchorage and Broken Steel, and I had little interest in The Pitt.
So it was down to Lookout and Zeta. The solution?
Verbatim: "Aw, fuck it. They're 400 points each. I'll just buy them all, The Pitt included."
I think I made the right choice.
Point Lookout is probably the best Fallout 3 DLC, although Broken Steel did raise the level cap, haven't played Mothership Zeta yet, but from what I've heard it doesn't really compare to Point Lookout
