It extends the main quest of Fallout 3, returns to the massive world of the Wasteland, and offers the incentive of a raised level cap and new perks to reinvigorate this post apocalyptic adventure. I don’t think it’s actually that much bigger than Operation Anchorage or The Pitt but it’s the features it offers and the way it incorporates them that make it seem so big. What makes Broken Steel the best installment so far is the way it provides players with so much, with little additional effort. This feature alone has had players eagerly awaiting it’s release, with some fans even holding off on the other DLC until they could take advantage of it. The quest to once again max out will last far longer than Broken Steel, which is of course the point. Now players can grind away all the way to 30 and the points needed to do so are substantial. The various additional creative weapons, armor and bonus features alone are very nearly worth the price of the downloads and when used within Fallout 3’s main quest are extremely entertaining.īroken Steel is a great way to conclude the series of add-ons not simply because it includes the standard additions of two new weapons and a new suit of armor, or because it’s slightly longer and more epic than the previous DLC, but because it finally delivers on the much anticipated promise to raise the level cap. If you’ve been on the fence about the DLC, now may be the best time to pick them all up. Broken Steel smartly concludes this package with great additions to the existing game that make it a must buy for fans. The condensation of it’s size was one of the flaws in Bethesda’s approach to DLC but they have all been fun diversions. It’s hard to evaluate the episodic enclosure of Fallout 3’s DLC considering the strength of the main game was it’s expansive freedoms and successful moderation of boundaries.
Wasteland while still providing several large additional maps. Broken Steel surpasses them both, in length and enjoyability, extending the main quest of Fallout and taking advantage of the D.C. The Pitt was a marked improvement but still just a side note. Operation anchorage was frustrating but modestly entertaining. Incorporating some of the best aspects of both the original game and the other two DLC installments, the episode feels surprisingly epic, featuring some impressive combat sequences and offering a variety of reasons for players to return to the Fallout universe and remain there for a while longer. Broken Steel, the final chapter of Fallout 3’s immediate DLC, is the best yet, for several reasons.
