Everything is meh, but the Cryo Grenades is pretty cool. I have a better weapon idea. They should add Time Grenades! Time slows down for anything caught within the blast radius for a couple of seconds.
I only bought one piece of DLC for Fallout 3 and that was to raise my level cap. I just find myself not interested as much as I was with Oblivion
I don't know if I dare say this, but is anyone else becoming less and less enthused with each slice of new content released for Fallout 3?
Even though the later add-ons seem more exciting, I kinda wish they held out a little longer and released them all together as one mammoth expansion - beginning with Broken Steel. These small expansions feel half-arsed and nowhere near as complete as say, Shivering Isles...

Heh Shivering Isles....Todd Howard admitted in an article I read that the team thought they bit off more than they could chew when they did Shivering Isles, and I dare say thats influenced them in the way they've structured their Fallout DLC...smaller, more focused and ultimately better.
Shivering Isles, in my view, was the only decent piece of DLC/Extra Content Oblivion got....and I basically eneded up playing Oblivion for the Achievements...and as soon as I got them...I never played it again.
Yet with Fallout, I've played it through at least 8 or 9 times...50% of th reason is im an Old School Fallout Fan who adored the originals, there other 50% is Beth have managed to keep my interest intrigued with interesting content that adds more hours and enjoyment onto subsequent playthroughs...and every month or two since January I've had a reason to go back to the game apart from being addicted..
In the end people will always prefer either Oblivion or Fallout, sometimes both. But I think the DLC Plan for Fallout was the better one.

Anyone have any weird issues with Fallout last night? I booted it up offline, and when it came with the message 'loading extra content' it seems to load it too quickly. Then when I went to load my save game it said 'some items in this save game no longer exist - try to load anyway?' and when i loaded it froze every time. So I connected to live and tried again, and it updated. Then it worked okay after that. Weird, I thought.
All of the Fallout DLC kind of sucked... but I keep buying it anyway. They're all too short. Even when they gave you a big space to explore in the last one it feels pretty barren and doesn't give you much new stuff to play with. Don't feel worth the money. At least they've gotten better than Anchorage.
I think I'll wait until every piece of Fallout 3 DLC is released, then get em all at once and start a new game.
@ CloneTrooper
I totally agree with you on the Oblivion/Fallout division - I've always loved fantasy RPGs and Fallout 3's bleak landscape kinda depressed me (although I do appreciate the fact it was able to create such an immersive experience). Also I'm not a huuuge combat fan - so as far as expansions go Operation Anchorage lost me.
@ Theos
Think you hit the nail on the head - exploration just doesn't appeal when you know you're pointlessly roaming a barren wasteland...which is essentially what these expansions are giving us.
That said, I still heart Fallout 3.

Do we really need a perk to make alien weapons more powerful? I usually got one-hit kills every time with the alien blaster. A perk that helped conserve that very scarce ammo, however, would be awesome.
