Or can you only put in one code. I really wanted to have the caravan pack and the tribal.

You can have all 4 simultaniously.

If you pre-ordered multiple copies of the game you can use your pre-order codes to get all the packs in one game.

Sawyer said that they had tested to make sure it works.

And Pete Hines suggested in an interview yesterday that Bethesda would probably offer the pre-order packs for sale as DLC at some point in the future.

With my pre-order comes the caravan and classic pack so its possible yes.
Btw, I pre-ordered at a store in Belgium in case you might wonder.

Would it be some sort of violation to sell your code on ebay?

Because I could do without it if it'll get me $5-10 back on my game purchase.

But you will not be able to use them all on one character though. The only way that I know if, is playing all those games seperately, at least on PC anyways, since each PC game needs a seperate Steam account. For the PS3 or 360, I guess you can use them all but why would you buy 4 copies just to get the DLC for one account?

You wouldn't. I'm just saying it's an option.

How does the preorder bonus work?I have preordered for PC....do they give you a code that you must put in to enjoy the "perks"...and is it something that you can use everytime you create a new character?or just one char?

I am wundering if the pre order bonus will become avaliable to buy as DLC later on. It would make sence that we all would be able to get it eventually.

Yep.

You can use them all on one character. Remember, even though places like Gamestop only stock console games, you can still preorder PC versions of games from them and get their specific pre-order pack. The pre-order packs are .esm or .esp files, just like a mod. You turn them on in the launcher like you would for other DLC for Fallout 3 and when you start the game or load your save you will have all the pre-order items in your character's inventory. If you had 4 different pre-order pack codes you would have 4 different .esp or .esm files to check on or off as you wanted in a single copy of the game.

Sawyer confirmed all this several weeks ago.


You can use it for every character you make. It is not a one time use object. The pre-order code lets you download an .esm or .esp file that can be checked on or off to enable and disable depending on what you want to do for each character.


In an interview yesterday Pete Hines mentioned that they may very well offer the pre-order packs for sale as DLC at some point in the future.

But wouldn't these .esm files be attached per account? Otherwise, only one person could buy it and technically give them away to everyone else. I thought they were locked to the persons account when acctivated like on Xbox Live. Been so long since I have been on the PC. Thanks for enlightening me, I lernt something new again.

On the XBOX they would be linked to your account. On the PC, I don't know. Like for the Oblivion DLC mod sites like the Nexus wouldn't let people upload pre-order packs for others to download. If people DO distribute them on the internet it will be a form of piracy.

@ Davor
Well on PS3 you can give your details to 4 other people and they can download it for free.
