Forum:To Download Expansions or Not?

So I finished Fallout today, I had it with no expansions. Fantastic Game, the ending is slightly anti-Climatic, but it is what it is.

There is a lot of stuff I could do, like re-play as an evil or neutral character, but that doesn't interest me.

Which brings me to my dilemma. I liked doing the side quest, but they were more interesting when there seemed to be a great driving purpose behind me being there (IE en route to a main story quest, etc etc.)

Without the main story driving the character, running around doing side quests just feels like an MMORPG without the MO.

So I was thinking of just downloading Broken Steel, and my Question is, Is it worth it? How cool is it? is there a 'Second ending'? IE, a final Broken Steel mission?


 * I bought the PS3 GOTY to replace my first game. After cashing in the original game, the cost was about $20 less than all the downloads.  Operation Anchorage was pretty lame.  You basically watch the story happen.  Point Lookout was pretty decent, and I'd say worth the money.  I just completed Broken Steel this weekend, and I thought it was very good.  A lot to do, a lot of new weapons, etc.  I have yet to try The Pitt or Mothership Zeta, but with how good Broken Steel and Point Lookout were, the expenditure has been worth it.  Don't forget, Broken Steel allows you to reach level 30 and includes a bunch of new enemies, like Reavers, Overlords, and albino radscorpions.  It's nice to finally have some creatures that can kick your ass once in a while. LVTDUDE 00:22, November 25, 2009 (UTC)

What I did was first get broken steel, just so I could play the main quest, then do the loose ends, side-quests, achievments etc. after that I just got the others because I felt like it, so BS is very much recommended due to it's alt ending, the rest are realy your choice, but they are very good and bring decent things into your game, new items, quests, etc. - RASICTalk 00:26, November 25, 2009 (UTC)

The Pitt, Broken Steel, and Point Lookout are definitely recommended. Operation Anchorage is good for the loot (indestructible weapons), but not much else. I have MZ, but haven't played it. To tell the truth, I expected to be disappointed by Point Lookout,but I found it to be the most deep of all of the DLC's. Backwater Rifle is nice too. Anchorage is good to have if you have Point Lookout, because armor can be hard to find in the swamps, and you can get indestructible armor--65.10.67.206 02:18, November 30, 2009 (UTC)Hollow Points
