Forum:PS3 DLC & GOTY Questions.

Ok, so basically I was thinking of getting Broken Steel just so I could continue my game. I have a save just outside the Memorial in the last mission, so, when the purifier is activated etc, will my character still wake up even though it is a vanilla fallout save? I have no other DLCs and am playing on the PS3. I looked up the DLCs on the PS Store and noticed they are all €10 each. I can buy the GOTY edition for around €40, saving me 10 euro. However, I've heard the GOTY edition on PS3 is painfully buggy, as in freezes every 2 seconds, and I have a friend who also confirmed this with me that the GOTY freezes a lot more. Also, will my saves work with the GOTY edition?

Last of all, my biggest descision, should I even bother with the GOTY edition? I wouldn't mind paying the €10 for Broken Steel to continue the game, I'm sure the rest of vanilla Fallout 3 & the extra BS bits would keep me going for a long time. However, I am tempted by the value of the GOTY edition, but put-off by reports of its massive bugs. So, are the reports of a buggy GOTY true? Should I just get Broken Steel on its own?

Also, random question, I've heard about companions levelling with you after you install BS. My character is level 19, and I have not encountered Dogmeat at all, but do have Fawkes as a follower. Will Dogmeat get the massively high health if I recruit him at around lvl 20 with BS, or do you need to have Dogmeat from lvl 1 for him to get the massive amount of health?

Thanks very much in advance for replies.

I got GOTY edition for PS3 and it freezes a lot. As the disc is used more it becomes around 2 freezes per hour, but you can keep playing, and if you play for around 4 hours it stops the game. But the DLC's are totally worth it.Liam Spencer 03:53, January 15, 2010 (UTC)

I am going to download broken steel just because I would like to continue my game after I beat it, however the ones seem pretty worthless. How come nobody signs there posts?--BigCubby 17:30, January 14, 2010 (UTC)

Sry I forgot. Anyway I rank Point Lookout above Broken Steel, but if you can get both. 3rd best The Pitt, then Operation Anchorage.Liam Spencer 03:54, January 15, 2010 (UTC)

Don't worry regular fallout 3 saves WILL continue fine once you download Broken Steel (so it would be a yes to your first question). For you question about dogmeat, he will have high health no mater when your recruit him once you download Broken Steel. Also, Please sign your posts. Vault 815 04:09, January 15, 2010 (UTC)
