I would actually recommend Point Lookout over all other DLCs for Fallout 3. O:A was too linear, The Pitt (while decent) is quite buggy from my experiences, Broken Steel only serves to unbalance the game even further and to tack on one hell of an unneeded quest line just to have the game go on past the ending of which it didn't need to, and Mothership Zeta was just... oh god I don't want to talk about how disappointed I was with it.

On the Obsidian side of things, Dead Money was a great DLC to start out with. I really enjoyed playing through it. And Honest Hearts only looks even better than Dead Money so far.

There were like 2 holo tapes I could never find. I never looked on wiki either. You mean they had launch codes from a 2077 General?

Ohhhhh no that is bad. Im glad I never found that. That must have been hidden away well, because I never found it in 3 play throughs.

There were always 1 of 2 holo tapes I could not find.

i didn't hate dead money, or think it was "too hard" as someone earlier said (too hard? do you want your games to be easy?)

i just thought it was slow, i'm really not a sneak guy...and yeah, i could understand being upset with thinking that the aliens maybe had part in the war, that does take a little bit away from the lore i suppose - but as a general rule i believe that adding aliens to anything makes it better...with that said i'm hoping to see an alien expansion for Skyrim as well (joking)

Alien Captive Recorded Log 17



:facepalm:

you people and your spoilers!!!!!!!!!! I HAVEN'T COMPLETED YET :swear:


:cheat:

haha thanks styles, you could have spoiled it much worse i'm sure...although now everyones got me worried that i'll hate the end anyways :unsure:

I didn't like MZ there was no real story no character interaction and was all around dull, DM had a deep story very interesting characters and an overall theme and feel much different than the main game but its all opinion so take it as that.

I agree it's comparing fo3's worst dlc to what i personally think will be fonv best dlc when all dlc's are released.A better one would be point lookout v dm or the pitt .

NO WAY IT'LL BE THE BEST....New Canaan will (hopefully) be an open environment with some quest variation...not, walk from here to here, okay, now escort him there nonsense...i'm PUMPED for Honest Hearts

Err... why MZ? I mean, Dead Money Vs. The Pitt.... now that would be kinda close.

I don't know all that much about honest hearts tbh but dead money was super gd job obsidian :tops:

MZ is the only one i've played so far for fo3, and i was just making a comparison to how similarly they were structured ( 3 people to escort to their specific spots) and yet i've enjoyed the feel more of MZ (not yet through it)

Mz is decent but it's arguably the worst of fo3 dlc's i would recommend getting point lookout and broken steel.

I... I actually had to read this twice because I thought I read it wrong..

You're praising a DLC that was implemented soley to add a DLC targeted towards Energy Weapon Characters....

*mind asplode*

Whilst I played both of these DLCs as well, and asides from Dead Money BREAKING my entire save game with bugs, I almost want to push you off a cliff for this. MSZ was the most broken DLC ever. I don't mean broken as bugged, but I mean broken as in had nothing going for it. The level design was terrible... the story was... non-existant, and the characters in it suuuuuuuuucked something fierce.

You're one of these people who thought the Avatar was a good movie... amirite?

ya i didnt like MZ or DM the ones but i loved every other dlc for fallout 3 i just fount both of thos ones boring

Ha I hated avatar...If anyone cares to know I finished it tonight and...story wise DM is better - I guess I thought it was gonna go somewhere sweet but the end was just awful and SO anticlimactic...it was just like "yay we fought some undxplained enemy ship and won...go back to the wasteland" but it's not so awful cuz...I LOVE energy weapons

The Pitt> Dead money
Dead money >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> MZ

Yeah MZ was a bit of a shambles when you look at it .

I liked Mothership Zeta for the weapons and story(especially the captive recordings) but I also found it tedious it felt like a lot of the same hallways again and again that said I'd rather have it then not have it, which is my general philosophy that most of the time adding to the game is a good thing that Ill always support be it DLC or mods

Ms was like the movie avatar a waste of time and stupid

I didn't like either of them. Mothership Zeta was amusing, no doubt, but it was just...meh. I didn't see the point. It's a gearfest, like Operation Anchorage.

Dead Money just annoyed me. I am not a survival horror fan, mainly because I'm always "that guy" in horror flicks and such. "Double tap, you [censored]! Why are you running upstairs?!? You just ignored a good chokepoint and ambush site, you blithering idiot! You have a shotgun; center of mass, moron!" et-cetera. I was the same way when a friend was running her Heroes of Horror game for D&D. I was a 17th level Crusader with the Fearless feat.

"Yea, as I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil. Because I'm the scariest SoB in the whole dammed valley."

I dislike the games "difficulty" being because some senile old man is always a few steps ahead of me "just because." You don't get to screw with me Elijah, I'm way the **** above your pay grade.

By the time of DEad Money, my Courier has smashed the Legion, crushed the BoS, annihilated the Powder Gangers and the Fiends, sent the Khans crawling to Idaho, rolled the NCR, beat the House, made NCR rangers stand in awe, and built a nation. Now some jumped up insane coot wants a shot? Yeah, not happening.

I don't know what Dead Money is, but I consider Operation Anchorage to be by FAR inferiour to Mothership Zeta.

"You must follow a completely linear path and shoot Chinese people into the head, while being followed by an obnoxious, essential NPC. In the end, you get godmode items for your effort."

"Your path is not as totally linear, but creep around and shoot some aliens. Listen to quite repetitive holotapes and be a bit crept out by how these people were tortured and twisted into abnominations. Oh, and you get some goodies on the way, useful to keep your weapons repaired and useful to take out our imbalanced monsters from Broken Steel with; but the ammo for them is a bit limited."

Heck yeah, Zeta was better.

Dead Money is my favourite part of FO:NV. If the rest of NV had been more like Dead Money I'd have liked the game a lot more (although Dog/God was a bit TOO verbose - at times his dialogue tree went on forever). MZ was probably the weakest of the FO3 DLCs. Reasonably entertaining once, but no replay value at all, like Operation Anchorage. Linear shooters. Play only for the loot. The Pitt is my favourite (love the atmosphere), then Point Lookout, then Broken Steel.

I haven't played Dead Money yet either but feel the same way about Zeta and OA. So I can't offer much in the balance of this debate, but I'm another who enjoys playing Mothership Zeta. I like the characters and don't mind being emersed into a different world to escape from and I find it fun shooting & clubbing aliens who pvssyr away like the aliens from Mars Attacks!

There is no B.A.R. in Zeta. Your logic is torpedoed.
