It's great that there is so much DLC for this game but if you already hit Lv 30 what else is there to gain.

Looks good. If this is the last of the DLC I'll soon be buying Fallout 3. I'm just going to get all the DLC at once whent I buy the game.

Seems like the first DLC i will buy for Fallout 3, none of the others have been nearly this interresting.

Also it looks like the engine they used for F3 is better represented hear since that looked awesome, unlike F3 that looked just okey.

I gotta say when they first announced this I was kinda like "huh?!" It seemed ludicrous, and didn't seem to fit in with the Fallout universe at all.

But after seeing this... I'm sold.

Bring on August 3rd!

Word is that Bethesda will be releasing a GoTY edition of the game in October with all the DLC.

looks neat. It's just sad that fallout 3 has horrible animations and game play. I love the idea of the game but its just a nightmare to play, and a lesson on how not to make a game.

So is this going to be like a separate campaign from your original character? Or is there going to be some sort of tie-in that gets you new items to blow peoples heads off better.

I really hope the aliens aren't played for laughs. in the original game when you come across the destroyed alien ship in the middle of the night and the weird signal starts to play, that was a terrifically creepy moment - they shouldn't ruin that.

That is what I am doing.  It comes out in October if I remember correctly so just a little over 2 months or so before it comes out.

How could blowing the hell out of aliens not sound worth it? lol. Personally though I don't really focus on leveling up solely in F3, i just love how enjoyable it is, and i'm sure this will be great too.

Except that going from 20-30 takes way longer than the length of a single DLC.

@dillinger: actually in retrospect thats not a good decision, if anything you should've got broken steel first and then the others - in fact going through all the expansions + broken steel didnt even get me to 30, I had to grind out another few hours with high level (and set to hard diffulculty) enounters to get me to 30.  I assume when I finished Point Look out at 26-27 that if I waited til Zeta to come out I would get to 30 with it, but that doesnt make sense in terms of money and sense.  Now I dont have to get Zeta as I'm already 30, but i will if its amazing.  I think I'm done with Fallout anyways, I put like a billion hours into it and some disk content I havent seen, albeit a very small amount of stuff.

I really appreciate the variety offered by Fallout 3's many DLC packs, but that can't change the underlying structural problems which make Bethesda's RPG such an underwhelming and boring experience to begin with (lackluster combat, unremarkable graphics and stiff animations, tedious world exploration, rudimentary character development, subpar dialogue, drab voice acting etc.). Even a simplistic, casual RPG like Fable II is a whole lot more fun to actually play than Fallout 3 ever will be, and I hope Bethesda starts to realize that they can't just keep re-releasing the same old interesting-but-broken game (Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 3).
