Forum:What order should i do dlc?

I just bought F3GOTY and i want to know what order i should do the dlc's in?

I know one of them continues the game after the main storyline. I'm not sure if it matters if I do that one last, or if I should complete the main storyline before i start any dlc. Help?

If you finish the main story line, the game will be over, so don't do that. I haven't.done them all yet, but start with Operation Anchorage, the quest is "Aiding the Outcasts" or something along those lines. After you finish, you get Power armor training, and a bunch of stuff. Wear the winterized power armor, it never degrades, and you'll also get a Gauss rifle, but I havent found another one to repair it, so don't go overboard using it. I wasn't to impressed with operation anchorage, but I am impressed with the loot. Someone said to me to wait till level 30 to do mothership, so that's what I'm doing.Pappy002 01:22, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

In my opinion you should do Broken Steel straight after the Quest mission Take It Back!, when Broken Steel is finnished move on to Operation Anchorage, The Pitt, Point Lookout then finaly Mothership Zeta. From The Nemisisx

I'm confused...i thought one of the dlc's opened up the game after the end of the main storyline. so i can free roam. is this not true? -David Money

The DLC "Broken Steel" opens up the game after the quest "Take It Back!" I recommend playing The Pitt and Operation Anchorage around level 8-14, because the loot from the Pitt is good early to mid in the game, but you find better stuff later. Operation Anchorage allows you get Power Armor training very early, so you could do that even around level 6 (roughly when you go to Vault 112). You might also want to look up the infamous Operation Anchorage glitch, where you can keep a lot of weapons that never degrade (in particular the Gauss Rifle). I recommend playing Mothership Zeta and Point Lookout between levels 18-24. The loot in Mothership is VERY good, and so is some of the stuff from Lookout. I recommend these later as there are more difficult enemies that in the other DLCs. The nice thing about Point Lookout is that you can always go back to it later to finish up quests and get items. You cannot go back through Mothership or Anchorage, and only to an extent in The Pitt. Broken Steel is just an open-ended DLC. The three main quests that are associated with it can be done any time after "Take It Back!", but you will need to be prepared to fight multiple Feral Ghoul Reavers, lots of Deathclaws, and TONS of Enclave without the help of Liberty Prime and the Brotherhood. The side quests are very simple, the main appeal is the raise of the level cap (to 30) and the main quests. I chose this order to keep from becoming too overpowered in the beginning, but not getting overwhelmed knee-deep in the middle. --None223 10:54, May 9, 2011 (UTC)

It might be a better idea to do Mothership Zeta a little bit earlier, even before level 10, because the aliens will not be above your level (I think, not sure 100%) and level 3 & 7 aliens are quite easy to be dealt with. The aliens at level 20, 25 & 30 are another story, they wear Inertia suppression field and that makes them really tough opponents, especially in close quarters. I've started Zeta at level 27 and it wasn't easy to fight those 25 & 30 level aliens. The Metal blaster is one of the best weapons (outside of VATS) -- I had no problems dealing with any enemies while using it, not even with the albino radscorpions -- but with these high level aliens the fights were really difficult. The MPLX Novasurge will be a better choice after you find it, if you have enough caps or plasma pistols to keep it in good condition. My suggestion is to take with you some weapons that ignore the DR, deathclaw gauntlet being one of them. GobTheGoul 18:12, May 12, 2011 (UTC)

(off topic) No offence guys, but I read "F3GOTY" as "Feggotry" for a second there lol! 5t3v0 02:23, May 13, 2011 (UTC)

Ok, I did them in this order Op Anchorage Point Lookout (the inbreds are HARD to kill) The Pit (not terribly hard, recommend this one early) Mothership Zeta (not too hard) I haven't finished main quest, so I haven't gotten to Broken Steel yet. I recommend you find the Gatling Laser named "Vengeance" found in the Deathclaw Sanctuary. It works great against the inbreds in point lookout, and the harder aliens in mothership. When I did mothership, I made the mistake of bringing my Fat Man. I never got to use it, and it took up 30 lbs of my inventory, so I couldn't loot a whole lot of stuff. So keep this in mind, when going to both The Pitt, and Mothership, bring only the essentials, so you can loot as much stuff as you can. The Pitt wasn't too bad, but I didn't bring my 30 lbs Fat Man there. As far as I could tell, Mothership has much more loot than the Pitt, so don't bring too much stuff with you. Oh, and in mothership, you find tons of alien apoxy, which repairs your weapons just like a weapons repair kit in New Vegas, so don't worry about repairing your weapons. I brought an extra gatling laser so I could repair Vengeance, but I didn't need it. Just trying to help you out, so you don't make the same mistakes that I made. Pappy002 06:23, May 15, 2011 (UTC)
