Forum:Question regaurding the GOTY Edition

I recently purchased an external HD and the GOTY edition of F3. I downloaded all of the extra content onto my hard drive as needed, and the game has been working fine. However, being as paranoid as I am about my xbox, a question came to mind.

I returned the GOTY add-on disk to gamestop in order too purchase another game with the store credit. My question is, if I start a new game, do I have to re-load all of the content back onto my HD with every new game I start? If I do, I essentially screwed myself.

Any help is appreciated.


 * AFAIK all the content files need to be available to the game everytime you start the game for that content to be available. If it's not in the data directory when you start a new game then those add-ons won't be available.  Alatari 18:27, January 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * That said though if you loaded those files on your xbox HD or external xbox HD they won't disappear unless you delete them. If they are there they are loaded up when you start FO3 using the game disc (a pop up saying [Loading extra content] or similar comes when you start the game).  That will happen before you choose to play from a save or start a new game and will always happen unless like I said you delete the expansion files.


 * Hope this helps
