Bethesda has announced a 23rd June date for the fourth Fallout 3 add-on, Point Lookout.
The date was stamped at the end of a brand new trailer, which takes us through the dark and murky swamps of the Wasteland - the new area we'll be trudging around.
Bethesda calls Point Lookout the "most open-ended DLC yet", which comprises a quest line that will unravel the secrets of seaside town Point Lookout whilst furnishing us with new bits and pieces like a double-barrelled shotgun. Yes please.
There are new perks and Achievements, too, but no word on cost - although we expect the same price as the previous three DLC packs: 800 Microsoft Points (GBP 6.80 / EUR 9.60).
Point Lookout will be followed in July by Mothership Zeta, which is to be the last downloadable add-on for Fallout 3. All five packs will be available on all three platforms: PC, PS3 and 360. PS3 will begin back-filling with Operation: Anchorage this month.
There's also a Game of the Year Edition of Fallout 3 arriving in October. This bundles the original game plus all five campaigns for the ripe old sum of 40 quid.

Any word on whether this going to be a further increase in the level cap with the new DLC? New perks are all very nice, but I've now pushed my character up to level 30 with the existing DLC, without the increased cap the new perks will be useless. Of course, this does rather assume that they are adding new level-up perks and not mission completion perks, but either way, a raised level cap would be nice.

Will they have a boxed set of *just* the DLC like they did with "Knights of the Nine"?

I got the original for £20. Do I trade it in now wait for the GOTY edition or pay for all five DLC packs? (PS3)

Yes, the GOTY version is the one I'll be getting. Refrained from buying the PS3 version because of lack of DLC (partially, but that unfortunately shows that MS's "exclusive DLC" tactic works), and now I prefer to get the whole package in one box.

Traded mine in recently for the PS3 (have it on PC also), will get it again when they are all out in October, it will end up costing me less to get the complete package rather than each DLC.

I'd prefer if they'd just scrap the whole minor downloads thing and just instead release a full expansion pack like they did with Morrowind (Bloodmoon/Tribunal) and Oblivion (Shivering Isles).
Expansion packs are much better value and add a lot more to a game, usually, plus they work better as a boxed product!

I would liked to have seen the Fallout world go through some kind of building re-development during its DLC packs. I would have liked to have seen a change of scenery and what was once tattered ruins become thriving towns again and being rebuilt. Its a shame that sort of progression probably will not happen.

What a great game Fallout 3 is, almost but not quite as good as Oblivion for me. The DLC has been decent so far, better and more varied than Oblivion overall even if nothing has matched the quality of the awesome Shivering Isles for Oblivion. If only Bethesda would make an expansion with lush green trees and vibrant blue skies... surely the entire USA isn't all a nuclear wasteland?

I just finished Broken Steel, and as much as I enjoyed it I thought it was a rip off for the price.
Very short indeed and not worth £8 of anyone's money. the fact that these are coming out once a month is a little disconcerting - obviously not much effort is being put into them. As much as I love Fallout, I can do without anymore DLC until the price is more sensible. |
