Product Description

Platform: PC

BROKEN STEEL: Continue your existing Fallout 3 game and finish the fight against the Enclave remnants alongside Liberty Prime. Broken Steel moves the level cap for your character from 20 to 30, allowing you to experience even more of the game, including new perks and achievements. Story: You may have dealt the Enclave a serious blow at Project Purity, but their forces are still out there, and still pose a grave threat to the people and security of the Capital Wasteland. In Broken Steel, you’ll continue your current Fallout 3 character past the events of Project Purity, and work with the Brotherhood of Steel to eradicate the Enclave threat once and for all. Travel to new locations like the Olney Powerworks, wield destructive new weapons like the Tesla Cannon, and fight powerful new creatures like the Super Mutant Overlord. POINT LOOKOUT: Point Lookout opens up a massive new area of the Wasteland – a, dark, murky swampland along the coast of Maryland. So hop on the ferry to the seaside town of Point Lookout, for the most mysterious and open-ended Fallout 3 DLC adventure yet. Story: Buy a ticket and hop onboard the Duchess Gambit, as Tobar the Ferryman takes you to the strange seaside town of Point Lookout. What secrets does the dilapidated boardwalk hold? Who lives in the sprawling mansion? Why is the Punga Fruit so important? And what horrors lie in the depths of the murky swamp? Point Lookout is the most open-ended DLC yet, and allows you to explore a huge, swampy wasteland any way you’d like. A completely new quest line allows you uncover the town’s hidden secrets and wield powerful new weapons like the Double-Barrel Shotgun against the swamp’s dangerous, and deformed, denizens.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, August 25, 2009

This review is from: Fallout 3 Game Ad-On Pack: Broken Steel and Point Lookout (DVD-ROM)

Broken Steel does for Fallout 3 what the Extended Editions did for Lord of the Rings: by adding more and deeper content it makes you care more and feel like things have properly been resolved. Plus, after the dramatic, explosion-packed finale, you get to play on as long as you like with a raised level cap.

Point Lookout adds a huge swampy area for you too look around with plenty to see and do. The quest is fun and interesting and there are some great characters and locations. It's a great Fallout add-on, but those who enjoyed Bethesda's Shivering Isles and Morrowind will enjoy the landscape too.

If you have Fallout 3 and want to take your game further, this is the DLC for you. Broken Steal and Point Lookout are much, much better and open ended than Operation Anchorage and The Pitt.

Contrary to what one misinformed reviewer wrote, this add on actually removes SecuRom from the original Fallout 3 installation.

If you don't own Fallout 3 yet, you may want to wait, as a game of the year edition will be released soon with all five DLCs included.

4.0 out of 5 stars worthy additions to the Fallout universe, September 12, 2009

This review is from: Fallout 3 Game Ad-On Pack: Broken Steel and Point Lookout (DVD-ROM)

I've been pleased with the DLCs that Fallout 3 has come out with. Fortunately my two favorites happened to be packaged together. Both provide entertaining game play and at $[...] its a pretty good deal

BROKEN STEEL: Broken Steel begins where the main quest in the game ended. After activating the water purifier, you must deal with the remaining pockets of the Enclave forces through out the wasteland. There are also some fun side quests where you deal with gangs that attempt to extort the new water supply. Broken Steel adds some fun adventure and some powerful new equipment, which you will definitely need because the action gets intense towards the end. The biggest perk is that you can increase your EXP level to 30 that include some powerful benefits

POINT LOOKOUT: My personal favorite of the DLC's so far (though at this point have not played MOTHERSHIP yet) in this DLC you take a ferry to Point Lookout Maine to capitalize on a business opportunity. What you find is evil masterminds who try to recruit you as their personal assassin, mutant hillbillies and black magic cults. You don't get too many unique weapons or armor but the map is huge. I'd say it's roughly 1/4 the size of the main map. There's a lot to explore in Point lookout(you get an achievement if you find all of the map locations) and it has some very enjoyable(and lengthy) side quests.

If you're a fan of fallout I would get these two DLCs instead of The Pitt package. Both of these DLC's add a good 6-7 hours of game play to the game. pick it up!
