consider this one of (if not the) obligatory first bitching posts of this thread. I expect all PC gamers in this thread to salt their margaritas with my console bitter tears:
I actually don't mind exclusive games. I think it's good for competition, gives each system more of an individual 'identity', and all that jive. I do, however, have a pretty big problem with exclusive DLC, which benefits some people and punishes others- all owners of the same product. In a business sense I can see it- you make a title cross-platform, reap the benefits from all directions, then ink a deal with one for more content and make even more money. I guess I just get frustrated for being on the crap end of the deal this time- but even if things were the other way around, I'd feel bad for people who bought this game and aren't getting/won't get the chance to expand this awesome game.
Granted, some of the blame falls on me for not doing the proper research and purchasing the version set to be beefed up over the course of the next year (I own both a PS3 and 360; chose the PS3 because I prefer the controls), but I still think it's a lousy practice.
Bethesda would have my money (as they did with Shivering Isles) in an instant, but I refuse to rebuy the game on another system just for supplemental material that everyone who bought the game should have the opportunity to experience.
This, along with 'already on the disc' micro-transactions (SCAMCO, I'm looking at you), are two of the ugliest new additions to gaming, in my opinion.
Fallout 3 is definitely a keeper for me, so I just have to hope, like with Oblivion, PS3 owners get this stuff somewhere down the line.
the G.E.C.K. sounds freakin' awesome for PC owners, though. Lucky devils.

I love the G.E.C.K (great name for the program!) and the DLC missions sound great but I just want them to uncap the levels. I lost all interest in playing now that I've hit the cap and I haven't finished the game yet!

Seriously, will this work on Steam on not?

Can't see why not, unless Bethesda says so otherwise, a game being on Steam never stopped me from instaling mods or whatever on them.CajoleJuice said:

I'm just paranoid because I saw so many people talking about that back around release date. :|Prime crotch said:

I replaced the Titan Quest executable on Steam with an unofficial one and it works fine. I'm assuming that maybe on older games they don't have the same protections in place?

Dude, you should've given Fallout 3 a shot even before this announcement. The vanilla game is very good, much better than Oblivion. I personally can't wait to see what sort of stuff we get from the modding community, given that Fallout 3 is a much stronger skeleton of a game than the heavily modded Oblivion was.

cool, I can't wait to see what new stuff people come up with 
I also was wishing they would have done something a little more with Commonwealth

one thing I have to say about this.
FALLOUT's best merit is its contained universe + story that fills it out. Having "user mods"... will break this illusion. I loved Fallout 3 but this news really doesn't excite me at all. More barrenness to trek through, its not like the retail version doesn't have enough of that.

What? Even the old *cough*real*cough* Fallout games had fan fixes and mods.Jax said:

Explain exactly how adding an incredible, amazing looking weather system (featuring acid rain, lightning, etc), better textures, lighting, smarter AI, a more diverse selection of enemies, a better UI, and additional weapons and armor breaks the illusion created by the game?

That's the dumbest thing I've ever read, sorry.Jax said:

Your guess is as good as mine. Remember that Shivering Isles didn't come out until a year after Oblivion did, so I think it was a pretty big undertaking. A section of Pittsburgh to explore through would be amazing, especially given how well-realized the D.C. ruins were, but I don't think they're going to that extent. I think the most we'll see as far as Pitt goes is a couple of new locations with several new quests and characters tied to it, if Knights of the Nine is any indication (I never played KotN myself, but just by reading its features list).

Yeah. And maybe an expansion that explains
what happened to the people in Vault 101 after the ending. Will they hear the news or just conceal themselves forever?

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?

If you're playing the PC version, in the console:
setgs iMaxCharacterLevel ### - Sets the maximum level that your character can reach through experience gain. Replace the ### with the desired maximum level.

Lots of fun to be had with turning off collision too.
I was genuinely worried Bethesda wasn't going to release the editor for a good long time, out of fear of adult content related mods getting them in trouble with the ESRB again. Glad to see it'll be out so relatively soon.

You can do that? Icilonen said:
convinced the overseer to let them out. He anointed Amata the new overseer and then I was banished. I still found Butch in Rivet City.

I have a Macbook Pro from June 2007. Is there any chance I can run Fallout 3 at all? I've invested 30+ hours in the Xbox 360 version, will love the DLC, but want to experience the user made content!
