Same here. I downloaded it, jumped back into my game and I was like "Holy fuck, I missed this shithole." I haven't played it in months but now that I know I can just play all the way through to 30, I don't know that I'll ever stop. I ended up downloading Anchorage and The Pitt immediately, just to have more places to find.
And then I ran across this Roach King dude in the middle of nowhere? Fucking nuts. I missed this game.
Ok Im really in a bind here.
I need some opinions on something. When Bethesday say it will take the same amount of time to get from 20 -> 30e as it did to get to get from lvl 1 -> 20, do you guys buy that?
My problem is I have completely clocked the map. Explored everywhere, and found pretty much everything. So I know I have to replay some shit, thats cool. So I figured I would reload just after I hit lvl 20 and play from there.
The thing is though I have played for soooooo long after that point and just done so much, that playing this now trying to disregard everything I have done just feels kinda stupid. IM thinking maybe that claim about getting to lvl 30 was just an exaggeration and maybe I dont have to load such an early save.
What say anyone? I need to be told what to do. I just dont want to find myself not being able to to hit 30, but maybe even worse will be hitting 30 way before clocking the map to the point that Im at now...

There is always the possibility of new DLC packs, like the one that was talked about to be bundled with the Broken Steel disc release in the future.

Don't bother downloading the Broken Steel pack right now if you have the PC version. I've downloaded it twice now and the files are corrupt. I checked gamefaqs and it appears that everyone is having this problem.

Has it pwned any game saves on 360 or anything? I agree about the getting to level 30 thing, I was expecting 100,00 exp for level 30! 3k=4k per level is OK I guess! I just finished Tranquility Line last night! I put the game on Hard. Goddam O_O it sometimes takes 5 shots to kill some enemies! I'm level 18 and half now I shouldn't get to high to fast right, or should I just put it down to normal?? I get about 40exp per enemy

i would love LOVE to buy one of these DLCs. LOVE TO.
but the game still won't launch. not a single solution for fixing the various crash issues have worked. no one on the official forums knows why.
so basically i have a broken game sitting on my hard drive and 40 bucks down the drain :\

I've purchased every one of the PC version DLC packs (with this most recent one not working whatsoever) and every time I have to do the file move trick to get them to work properly. I think its fucking ridiculous that they haven't even attempted to fix this issue. But at least I am able to play the game. That sucks dudefistfulofmetal said:

Do you guys have problems with Alt-Tab ? Like when I use it I can't get back into the game

Apparently some people are having problems with the 360 DLC and achievements. Would someone remind me what Microsoft quality control and content screening is for again?
For those folks that have already explored 100% of the map, I kind of feel sorry for you, but it really is your fault. You all knew that the level cap was going to be increased. Playing through the entire game at the cap was and is a waste of experience. This is more the developers fault then yours though. The level cap should have never been that low in the first place.
Personally, I have a few side quests left to complete
Head of State
Oasis
The Superhuman Gambit
Trouble on the Homefront
Agatha's Song
Stealing Independence
not to mention I haven't played through Operation Anchorage or The Pitt which I already purchased.
Still haven't found 100 map locations or collected all the bobble heads.
So I have plenty left to do to make it to Level 30.

The perks look like they're designed for people that fucked up the first time through. :lol
So is it true that this DLC changes the ending of the game? I made sure to keep a save file for my level 20 character right before I began the final quest.
Haven't played since I beat it, really. But now I can't wait to jump back into my 360 2008 GOTY.

from gamespot forum -
"All 10's stay the same. If any SPECIAL stat is below 9, it will become 9. If you already have a Bobblehead for the stat, it will not boost it to 10."
This means that bizarrely, the way to attain a maxed character (10 in all SPECIAL) is to NOT pick up the bobbleheads until getting this perk.

in a way its kind of cool, it means if you start a new character you can make the one you want (rather than min/maxing)

Nuclear Anomaly sounds cool. Essentially you can't die unless enemies are far away.

Can't you just use 20-30 to fill in perks you passed up earlier? Or are you stuck with those?

Arrghhh... fix it!
First time in weeks I've had any time for games and the only thing I want to get into isn't available.

No kidding. I don't know what the point of a certification process is when it appears that they did not even test the content to see if it worked at all. Bethesda deserves alot of the blame, but I take issue with a certification process that fails to catch even the most obvious of bugs

How do the skills work? Is it like in Oblivion, more I use skill the more it will level up?

The bugtesters @ Bethesda are fucking awful. Their games always have a shit load of bugs, the patches don't really fix much of them, they actually create more bugs and the DLC is buggy too.
I need to play Fallout 3 in a window or else it will crash every few minutes...
It has more bugs than Oblivion and that already had lot's of bugs. They even imported bugs from Oblivion into Fallout, like the disappearing objects...

Ok, I bought it but quickly canceled when I heard about the achievement glitch. Whenever I go to re-download it again, the file is still approximately 620 MB. 360 version, btw.
Has it been fixed on the NA marketplace yet? And if it has, will that MB file update or am I stuck with the glitched one because I bought it?

You doubt I'll be stuck with the glitched one? or you doubt that I'll be compensated for? or you doubt it's been fixed on the NA marketplace? :lolrhino4evr said:
