Fallout 3 News: Operation Anchorage and the G.E.C.K.

I was a level 20 even before doing all the main quests so I'm glad the level cap is removed. Awesome news.

Nice, that makes sense.

I'm on my way to doing almost everything that can be done in one playthrough of Fallout 3. What an outstanding game!

One of the things that appealed to me most about this game was having lived in the DC metro area and recognizing a lot of the sights as I traveled the wasteland...everything from the obvious to the mundane (like Dupont Circle station, which i passed through just about every day).

That being said, Anchorage doesn't interest me a fraction as much as the Pitt, considering when I moved away from DC, I moved to Pittsburgh. That's the DLC i'll be eagerly awaiting. This looks cool, too, though. And if I can make a request for future DLC...Omaha. Might as well hit all the major cities I've lived in, and you can always play off the fact that in a Nuclear War, Omaha would be one of the first areas hit, thanks to the purported missile silos and Offut, among other things (like the fact the only bombers to ever drop a nuclear bomb were from there). I'd say Philadelphia, too, except that I think the themes would be too similar to what they've already done in DC.

Now that I'm done readin the article I just have a few gripes.

#1: Bethesda. What happened to making the expansions seamless? In Morrowind you had people coming to kill you and a little bit of investigative work to find out why which led to Tribunal. Then through rumours you found out about the happenings of Bloodmoon.

I hate Oblivion's take on this where things just pop up in your journal and you know where they are.

They could have gone the route of asking a PC and then finding out where the place is at or even a radio station frequency popping up but it seems like they're going the Oblivion route and your character is just going to know where to go.

#2 I really wish these three additions were in just a full expansion pack type thing. I know they have three totally different subjects and plot lines but i would love to have them all at once.

Anyways I love IGN's jab at the Horse Armor. I'm surprised they don't have dogmeat armor at least just for a joke. It would have been a nice free christmas download worth a chuckle.

The funny thing is Dogmeat could actually use some armor. :)Dire_Weasel

Agreed.

I want trophies. :( (I know I am never getting the DLC.)dvader654

I know they are coming, I just don't know when. I'm enough of a trophy whore that I might buy Fallout 3 for the PS3 just to get them... although I'd rather get the PC version at some point.

This is true. I've spent too much time with games that don't have them... oh and if Sony actually releases Lumines today, it is on. It is on like Tron. A game is coming that I can beat you at. I'm throwing down the gauntlet. Those leaderboards will be mine.

I never played Lumines before, depending on how much it is I will get it.dvader654

As I've said elsewhere, it is my favorite game. It is the best Tetris type game ever. It is worth it at any price.:P
