Fallout 3: Broken Steel Preview
- April 21, 2009 00:00 AM PST
Dog Eat Dog Day
Since the level cap is raised from 20 to 30, there are a slew of new Perks (special latent abilities) to choose from. One exampled is called "Puppies" and enables your trusty canine A.I. companion, Dog Meat, to be resurrected as a puppy when he falls in combat. This is a significant upgrade to the core gameplay, as Dogmeat couldn't be resurrected in the original version of Fallout 3.
Later in the game, you'll be tasked to get the underground Presidential Metro Rail subway up and running, which transports cargo under the White House and takes you to Adam's Air Force Base. The air force base is an entirely separate world to explore.
More than anything, though, Fallout 3: Broken Steel will extend the Fallout 3 single-player experience with a new quest threat as well as allow you to keep playing once you finish the main questline--a key complaint with Falllout 3, which ended the game once the main quest was complete.
Broken Steel is the third downloadable content package for Fallout 3. It is an Xbox 360 and PC exclusive and will cost you 800 MS Points when it releases on may 5th.

3 x 800 = 2400 points. that's like equivalent to what it would cost for the Oblivion expansion. =P

And yet again, ps3 owners are cheated out of DLC for games. I own both consoles, and enjoy them both, but I bought the ps3 first, and now Im afraid to go near any ps3 versions of games for fear of losing out on more downloadable content.

I wish I could get this too! But I must say xbox users having to pay for gold gives microsoft more of a drive to make it worth it, such as having a lot of dlc exclusives. They have far more money than sony so they can definately afford to.
But even still I'm pretty jealous about this.

It appears that someone has deleted your forums, and a ton of members. Somehow they got into a mod's account. This time you guys need to file charges, because that does interfere with your business.
Someone need to go to prison and get their butthole stretched over this one.
This is bull****.
BTW, this it teh2Dgamer ex GP mod who's been banned by the mod impostor.

This is teh2Dgamer. Someone must have gotten into a mod's account, and they not only banned all the mods, but they deleted everything.
