How many DLC it will have?And what kind of?

Post » Thu Sep 16, 2010 9:24 am

I know F:3 had 5 and all but I'm expecting to more... I mean Ioved Operation Anrchorage because you forget about find the geck and stuff you just sit back and relax playing the VI also broken steel was genius, about that I am hoping that you don't die at the end of the main quest... that would svck but having a DLC to continue it would be great
also since they did the ptt(all city and stuff that people like myself are expecting to see), could be LA since it's densely populated and coud be on a DLC also it's huge so lot's of space for ideas and quest there =D

We don't know anything about DLC right now, except that they may have plans for it.

Also, it has been confirmed for quite a while that the game will have a definite ending.

The vanilla game, from my understanding once a DLC like broken steel will be released, you will be able to continue playing.

What I want is a full expansion that shows all the consequences of our actions, and have them be really in-depth and actually change the world, and not something half-ass like a couple of people get sick.

Hopefully more than they had for FO3.... I never liked OA or MZ so having more than 5 or 6 DLC packs would be great.

Like FalloutFTW said: a full expansion would be ideal, but Bethesda has said they like doing little packs instead of time consuming expansions, sooo we likely won't see that. :thumbsdown:

Then again, this is Obsidian. Rather than few 3 hour DLCs, that due to size constraints most likely will feel pointless in the big picture, I'd like to see something like MoTB as an expansion pack.

more isn't better in this case, fallout 3's dlc overall were ok, the pitt and broken steel were the best but the others could of been scrapped, like OA or MZ, point lookout wasn't all that great either, it didn't have any towns or settlements at all and although the quests were good the geography of the area was really bad and it was rushed, very one dimensional, mostly just all swamp, and not a lot of variety of enemies, hillbillys and ghouls thats pretty much it, a few mirelurks and raiders types, but still it was lacking, if they spent more time one one or two instead of making 5 dlcs it would of been better, i say 3 dlc's tops, 2 really good ones, the pitt was great but could of been much better, i think several of fallouts 3's dlcs's could of been a lot better, so i would rather have them take the time to make one huge expansion, for instance the commonwealth could of made a great expansion if they were lets say make part mass with several large settlement including boston and a geographical area of about half the CW, that would of been cool an entire area to explore kinda like shivering isle for oblivion but even better, so i vote for less dlcs's maybe 2 or 3 at the most, not 5 or 6. :foodndrink:

I knew lots of people didn't like OA or MZ, but not liking Point Lookou? I always thought that was well liked..

On topic: I am confident that there will be. I'd like to be surprised by it. So far, Obsidian has down really well at keeping
me surprised, which speaks volumes.

Why is it that people speak of a BS-like DLC as a surety? There's no info supporting such a thing.

Indeed, the fact that the Obsidian devs are surely aware of the [censored]storm that surrounded the vanilla FO3 ending and still chose to end it with a solid conclusion rather suggests we won't get one.

Seconded. Either that or a Fallout 2-esque sequel.

Bullet sponge hillbillies and tribals with power-armor-tough hides made zero sense, and were a bit of a sticking point for some, myself included. I did like the feel of the place though. Also, the brain guy marked one of the very few times fo3 made me laugh.

I totally agree with you, not that I dont want a BS-like DLC, but they seem to have a reason for a definate end

It's possible that New Vegas will actually have expansion sized DLC like Shivering Isles or Dragon Age Origins: Awakening. Bethesda has said they wont be doing expansions anymore as they take too much time, however, I'm curious about whether or not they will make Obsidian follow that rule as well. Obsidian taking a year to make an expansion wont hurt Bethesda's development process in any way, because they aren't the ones making it.

point lookout was ok, but it didn't impress me. no towns, no settlements at all, not many friendly people, just swamp, the few good things were ok but not much to explore really, there were no large complexes at all, a nice military base or part of a city or something somewhere would of been cool, what was so good about point lookout? it had a couple mansions, a mini sub, the trash heap etc, swampland isn't very interesting to me, nothing really to explore, nothing significant, the motel was cool, but overall the area was mostly water, i think the pitt had more to explore and it was a lot smaller area. :bonk:

To each their own. The vibe from The Pitt wasn't so great to me. I guess Point Lookout just appealed to me more. The Pitt seemed small, and I haven't wanted to return. But I returned to PL many times. Guess it's a matter of opinion. :)

I returned to PL so many times i think I turned 21 since every time you travel there 6 months passes. But I thought PL reminded me of Scooby-Doo cause of the logo, the feeling and running around Desmond's house killing tribals. And...every time I was walking out side I'd start singing the Scooby Doo theme song ^_^

Uhhh.. Not necessarily. In fact, I think it is doubtful that they will make one like Broken Steel, for the fact that: 1. It garnered lots of criticsm, and 2. They probably won't go against their own idea that having post-end gameplay will jeopardize the ending. It would be pretty stupid.
Then again, it is a money business, and a Broken Steel DLC would give them lots of buyers, plus put an end to the criticism about the ending of the game.
I think 3 or 5 DLCs is a perfect amount (why does everyone want more?). There's enough to add a good few hours/items into the game and make it even more fun, but adding in excess of 5 DLC would be getting ridiculous. I'm not paying more than 50 bucks in DLCs. In fact, in FO3, after the first three DLCs I stopped buying them.
Although I do wish I bought Point Lookout. Then Windows Live stopped working. :l
