Fallout 3 'Operation: Anchorage' DLC is out, here's a trailer to prove it photo

AntAngonizer needed to be shown that her actions in the Capital Wasteland were too disruptive. I bought a bunch of new gear from Crow before starting on the short trek to her “hideout.” Metal Armor serves a man much better than that Combat garbage.

As I approached the doorway to her lair, my play was interrupted by an odd radio frequency. It was a mercenary signal for help. My curiosity was piqued --  mainly because I just paid 800 Microsoft points for the Fallout 3 'Operation: Anchorage' content -- so I reversed my position and made for the Merc Outpost to get to the bottom of their dilemma.

When I strapped into the virtual reality chair, I couldn’t help wondering what Bethesda had up their sleeves. In the end, I wasn’t disappointed with the content. And neither was Conrad, who put up a review at the buttcrack of dawn.

The trailer (available after the break, but only watch if you're an adult) is more of an introduction to the content that debuted today. It details the beginnings of the journey into 'Operation: Anchorage' and shows a few of the cast members and locales you’ll encounter on the journey to, in and from Alaska. (No Russians were spotted during this exercise.)

I love it. Made a stealth guy just to get the super fly suite. My level 20 guy isn't stealthy so it doesn't work as well. Atleast he still gets to wear his Pre-War Hat over the suite :D

I played through the Sim part part twice (missed a intel),

I love the DLC. So much loot to be had. I already reverse pickpocketed the outcast scribes robes.

Bitches don't know about my black robes.

I'd love to play it...

...Oh, wait, that last patch completely broke the PC version and now I can't play it. Thanks, Bethesda. Thanks a lot.

About 40 minutes in. Loving it. No stimpacks makes combat interesting again. A low level character would make AK brutal.

Just beat it, and I'm glad they let you keep the ninja suit and the gauss rifle. I can hardly handle the badassness that combination brings.

Anyone noticed how fast this came out and how late they put out the toolset?

Means they were working on this as soon as they put out Fallout 3. Fallout 3 was my last Bethesda game.

No way are you making a sucker out of me. They should of had far more content relative to what Oblivion had.

Its cool man, you can get the DLC if you want.

I won't think any less of you . . .

I'll probably pick this up if I end up finishing Fallout 3. Its just not grabbing me. Maybe because I'm not specced heavy for combat . . .

@Volomon: Wait wait wait... Fallout 3 is a better game than Oblivion, the toolset is out, and they're making worthwhile DLC... So you dump them? What?

Oblivion had more content? Sure if you enjoy 200 hours of the same god damn thing. Fallout 3 had much more interesting content.

I'm going to finish replaying it before I get the pack. Looks great though, DO WANT on the Tesla Gun.

I can't even download the thing because of some stupid age restriction. I'm 17, and was able to buy Fallout 3 off steam without a hitch, but Games for Windows Live just won't let me access the DLC to download it.

Thanks, Microsoft.

Wow. Are you saying Fallout 3 didn't ship with more gameplay on the disc than any other narrative-driven title that came out this year?

Stupid Bethesda, putting out a game with only +100 hours of content, and then JUST A FEW MONTHS LATER putting out badass DLC.

Those jerks. Well, they won't get any more of Volomon's allowance.

Whammbulance time for sure.
