This DLC seems awesome, though I kind of want to wait for the QL before getting it. Just incase it's broken as they tend to be.. 
 
Edit: That was up sooner than I expected!

Awesome. This'll be good because I know how much Ryan wanted to play it.

I beat the DLC today, didn't take that long. Out of all the DLC´s this is amongst the most boring ones. Its very shooter heavy, no real exploration at all. And you will be shooting the same aliens over and over again.
 
The new alien weapons are pretty boring, and feel like your just shooting your regular plasma rifle, but with another sound. 
 
Almost forgot, i had severe frame rate drops in it too.

Having literally just finished this DLC I can say I'm very dissapointed by how Bethesda's decided to end the expansions. Up until Mothership Zeta they've been getting progressively better, but this is far too combat heavy and is effectively one never-ending corridoor with little to no highlights. Happy for a quick look however!

Couldn't agree more. This could have been so amazing but turned out so very very disappointing.

to be more accurate, the DLC has some exploration stuff about midway through, but it is for the most part linear. It's pretty great overall, although pretty disappointing for the last DLC.

Yeah I agree but if you held out this long without buying any DLC, you may as well just buy the game of the year edition in October when it is supposed to be released. It is going to have all DLC included.

I've always wanted to see what the Fallout version of Earth looked like after the war. I remember that being on of the first things that came to mind when I first heard of this DLC, and that's pretty awesome. We'll finally get to see what England looks like after it got blasted to hell.

I just beat the Mothership Zeta DLC and feel okay about it. It was a little to short, missed some of the side stuff, but thought it ended with a bang. 4 out of 5 stars.

If you look it up online, there's a way to glitch your way into the citadel from the beginning of the game.  I had power armor no more than 10 minutes after I left the vault on my second playthrough.

I felt a bit naked in The Pitt, but in the end I was glad to have to make do. My dude is getting pretty ridiculously overpowered.
 
That said, as much as its killing me, I'm not going to watch this. Nope. Not until I play it for myself. I loves me some Fallout.

How come Ryan allways uses ALL of his action points to kill each enemy?  I understand they regenerate at a pretty steady rate but kinda sounds like overkill to me.  
 
Also, is there any reason to target something other than the enemy's head in vats cause i never see him do anything else.

Grim Reaper's Sprint perk restores ALL your AP when you kill an enemy in VATS. Hence, he uses them all on one guy to make sure he dies, thus netting him all his AP back.

Hopefully this means the end of the DLC packs (allegedly) and the release of the GOTY version with all the packs included, and I can finally get my hands on the game!

They sure put out a lot of expansions for Space Oblivion; was that  game actually popular?

just fyi, those aliens and that spaceship was already there in the core game. It's where you find the alien blaster and a pile of ammo for it. It has a few aliens laying dead around it.
