When I finished the game and then went on to start the broken steel portion it said "Clover has returned to The Museum of History". Well..I had Charon with me and Clover's been dead for a while lol. But, I went there and Charon was waiting for me so it's all good.
I've taken a liking to the gauss rifle. It makes a fantastic sniper rifle and the ability to knock opponents on their asses is pretty handy.

The new enemies are insanly overpowered. Just had to deal with two of the new ghouls. It took me friggn' forever to kill them. Needed like 20-30 Stimpacks. Not a bip problem since I had 200+ Stimpacks at that time but fuck..... this is insane. And what do it get? Riddiculus 65 EXP? Same like for the piece of cake - Mutantlord.....
Come the fuck on Beth. You can do better than that....
Still a great game though. I'm near to 120 hours now. By the end of Broken Steel I will probably reach that mark. After that I'll get the Level 30 Achievements and that's it I think. Hope they will make a couple of more Episodes. There's nothing better than coming back to this game every 2-3 months. It just has such an unique feeling to it. Had to shoot a picture today - sorry for the crappy quality....
Walking into the sunset through destoyed Washington DC while 60's music is playing in the background. So beautiful and yet so weird.
Great game!

Stealing Independence and The American Dream. I went hunting for the Super Mutant Behemoths in between too, using the Metro tunnel networks and rarely fast-travelling at all. The Takora Park tunnel in particular had a ton of Mirelurk Kings worth 108 exp each.ALaz502 said:
Swift Learner (+30% exp), Well Rested (+10% exp) and difficulty set to Very Hard gets me 108 exp from the harder enemies, and about 72 exp from the others.

Damn, the only thing that I'm doing different is that I don't have the "Swift Learner" perk. I'm well rested, and set on very hard. Getting 68. +30% on that is only 88.
Oh well, maybe one of our games is glitched. Wouldn't surprise me.

Yes. Dart Gun = Instant Yao Guai and Deathclaw pwnage.
I've been waiting for all the DLC to be released before getting back into this. I played for about 40 hours on my first character in the first week or so of the game's release. The extended hiatus made me totally appreciate this game again. Even though I've been almost everywhere in my last playthrough, the sense of discovery and "place" is still totally there. It's pretty amazing. I'm seeing tons of detail and running into encounters I've never seen the first time around in completely unexpected places. I can't wait to give the expansion stuff a shot.
Is there any word whether Beth is working on anything else for this game? I'm crossing my fingers for a big Shivering isles-type expansion, but these days that's probably asking for too much.

Phew, got all 100 steel ingots, was a chore. But on the plus side, the Steelyard environment has to be the best explorable setting in Fallout 3 by far, gotta love all the nooks to explore.
I have a question though; I just retrieved my equipment after the Pitt fights, and I'm insanely overloaded and need to drop off a lot of stuff. Is there a safe place in The Pitt where I can drop off stuff and retrieve later? (aka will I get to revisit The Pitt after I've finished the quests there?)

How the hell do I activate Broken Steel?! I have two level 20 characters, one right inside the Jefferson Memorial and the other before Little Lamplight, and it still won't raise the cap! I can beat the game, see the normal cutscene, and nothing changes. GOFW says it's installed and I see a loading extra content message everytime I start F3. How do I activate it?

yes you can go back to the Pitt once you've completed it, also there should be a locker near to where you got your equipment back that I used and seemed to work fine
that's the problem most likely, ZombieSupaStar will be able to answer you better, here is a post about mods http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=15765733&postcount=10938Zyzyxxz said:
I'm not going to go for level 30 for a while, since there is a good possibility of some more DLC http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_3_downloadable_content
For me, beat game. Press buttons to fast forward credits, but nothing changed. Beat game again using same save file, let credit finish, and then, game continue "2 weeks later" message with Broken Steel. Someone else posted about same thing. Think, for some reason, you have to finish quest twice. Not sure if you need to wait for credits to finish.ChoklitReign said:

I'm more concerned about the level cap. I've heard you don't have to beat the game to unlock it.

According to above, you are correct. I only continue pass the ending. I take it you aren't getting any XP doing stuff even after adding Broken Steel? Ooh, I am on X360 by the way.

Well I just found out what the problem is - none of those files are in the DLC folder! There's three folder-in-folders named with random numbers and letters, a PNG icon, an XBX file, a Security Catalog file, and a Content folder filled with 3 cutscenes. Nothing else. Did I somehow botch the download?MrTroubleMaker said:

So I deleted the folders in DLC and am trying to reinstall but it's stuck in a loop. I think I'm hopelessly screwed.
I got it to download. Wish me luck.

So I have been playing this none stop for two days and am wondering where I can safely keep objects, preferably that I can map back to fairly quickly. I've noticed that dead bodies stay almost forever but I do not want to trust telsa or enclave armor to the ground or containers that may or may not eat it. weight is getting to be a bitch with my low strength.
Tell me if this logic makes sense to anyone else:
If you put the difficulty up to very hard, you get more XP for every kill, yet the if you go very easy you get less XP. So presumably the more skilled you are, the more likely you are to put the difficulty up, but that means you get way more XP and will reach level cap quicker.
To me it makes more sense that the harder the difficult the less XP you get. Its annoying because I want more of a challenge so Im prepared to go to very hard. But if I do that Ill hit lvl 30 in no time at all.
I guess my biggest problem is I used that double XP perk early on, and now I wish I could turn that off.

Safest place is in your own home in the locker provided. Apart from that, any locker is relatively safe to put your stuff in, though I have heard of items going missing some of the time. Really seems hit or miss, since in my game I still have bodies of Mercs I killed about 50 hours of playtime ago, and they still have all the equipment I dumped on them.Grayman said:
You don't. I downloaded BS before completing the game and got an ingame message about 2 minutes into loading up my save saying that Broken Steel had loaded and the level cap had been raised to 30.ChoklitReign said:
Hmm that is strange. Do certain stats increase exp gain, maybe Luck or something?ALaz502 said:

Anyone know what they changed with the visuals in the patch before The Pitt? I know they added something like specular lighting (was already on PS3) but there seems to be a pretty big leap in terms of visual quality all round. It seems sharper and more vibrant than I remember it being.
Tobor said:
Because early on I didnt know how XP waas balanced and I guess I did what I would have done if there was no level cap. Getting double XP felt like it would be good to have, and then I realised how quick that would get me to 20.
Remember Oblivion had no cap. Good ol Oblivion.

1.5 ruins most mods, either have to use the fake patch work around I posted, use no mods, or just wait and hope bethesda can fix it
voltron said:
You didn't know about the cap? It was mentioned quite a bit around here, and I remember reading previews that talked about it as well.
Since I was aware of the cap, and had never had issues leveling in a Bethesda RPG before, I took one look at that perk and said hell no.
Tobor said:No worries. There's always Fallout 4.
Its not all that bad anyway. Im at lvl 24 now and Ive played OA, just started the Pitt (for the 2nd time - to get XP from it) and havent started the Broken Steel missions. I seem to have gone back far enough to just give myself enough stuff left to do all 3 DLCs and a decent chunk of wasteland exploring to hit lvl 30.
What's up with the HDR stuff in this game? Every time I look down and up again, it looks like a nuke going off in the distance. The whole sky just turns white. I could understand it if I went from a dark cave into a bright sunny area, but I'm just looking at the ground for like a second. And the weather is clouded.

Any word on definitive/essential mods? Tried looking through them myself, but there's so many to sift through and Google results yielded nothing.
FUCK YOU BETHESDA YOU CUNTING FUCKTARDS
Why on why wouldnt you include in the achievement description something like: "Find and carry all 100 ingots at the same time"... you fucking moronic dickfucks.
I find 10- give them to whatshisface - find the other 90. NOTHIN!
Thats twice Ive been ass-raped with that achievement now. For 2 separate issues.

voltron said:
I'm pretty sure you don't have to carry them all at the same time. When I first got to the Steelyard, I found every single ingot before returning to Everett. He took the first 10 as per the quest, and when I immediately "re-talked" to him, I got the option to give the rest as chunks of 10. After you get every unique item from him, the achievement unlocked for me.

That's incorrect. I handed in a single ingot at the end and still got the achievement.voltron said:

Like others have mentioned, every time I exit the game the game locks up and I'm forced to end the process manually in task manager. Is this consistent across all PC users with BS?
On another topic, I have completely avoided using energy weapons and focused on small and big weapons. Is this going to be a problem? I noticed that a few of the newer power weapons appear to be energy weapons.
