Forum:Using DLCs

I was just wondering about how everyone uses the DLCs. I just recently got them all so I wanted to know if I should play them one at a time, in a certain order, or just load them all and kinda go randomly. I have a save I have been playing that is right before attacking the purifier with liberty prime. So I was thinking should I just load broken steel first and beat the game and then come back and load all the others and play around with them.
 * You can load all of them at once. All it does is give you a new quest related to the DLC, and you can choose whenever you want to do it. The only thing bad that could happen is (if you have xbox 360) there's a glitch where if you have Point Lookout installed, you could fall through the roof of a building in The Pitt (see number 22). But I think there's a way around that one.
 * Other than that, there's really no specific order to play them in. Obviously Broken Steel will technically be first, because that way your game won't end when you activate the purifier. Personally I did Broken Steel, Operation Anchorage, Point Lookout, then Mothership Zeta. Operation: Anchorage gives you new stuff like the Chinese stealth armor so you might want to do that earlier if you want to use them in other DLCs. Up to you. 22:43, July 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'd recommend doing Anchorage first, since you get a bunch of nice loot from it (much more loot if you use the Gary-23 glitch, like I did). Point Lookout has a lot of tough enemies so I recommend doing that late in the game, when you're around level 25. Broken Steel is, in my opinion, the most fun of the DLCs, and I advise doing it after Operation: Anchorage. Mothership Zeta and The Pitt aren't very challenging or rewarding, so just do those if you're bored and don't have anything better to do. You don't have to take my advice, though.

Have to agree with Telos. Point Lookout has the hardest enemies BY FAR. However, when doing Zeta, make sure you don't miss the cargo hold and other places that hold the best loot. The adapted biogel will give you +150 hp for health, the alien epoxy fixes weapons so you get full repair at no cost (a wonder in the wasteland), the MPLX Novasurge is a "double" plasma pistol that does incredible damage, and, if your house needs decorating, there are 4 Buttercup toys. If you go to far on the main quest, the best areas are no longer accessible and Zeta gets VERY repetitive. Ferbil 14:20, July 8, 2010 (UTC)
