Fallout 3: Point Lookout Review (Xbox 360: DLC)

Another month another fairly substantial expansion to Fallout 3, after last months long anticipated Broken Steel DLC which “fixed” the ending and raised the level cap to 30, Point Lookout has alot to live up to. This DLC is a slight departure from the previous offerings as there is not one big quest but rather several which are no longer linked aside from the setting, and while not as good value as Broken Steel it is still a high quality piece of DLC.

Post contains minor plot spoilers for Fallout 3 and Broken Steel

Aside from a few poorly thought out elements to the plot e.g. how could little lamplight still exist as a colony of children so long after the war, if there was a major flaw present in Fallout 3 it was the finality of the ending which prevented you from continuing to explore the capitol wasteland once the main quest was complete. Broken Steel Recitifies that flaw and retcons the ending so that you can continue your adventure and lifts the level cap from 20 to 30 adding new perks along the way.

Fallout 3 Operation Anchorage (DLC)

Fallout 3 is one of the best RPGs on the market and Operation Anchorage expands upon this world. It offers a unique quest set in a simulation similar to one in the main quest and provides background on one of the key historical encounters in the Fallout World. The quest is also fully voice acted and enjoyable to play through. Finally the DLC also offers another opportunity to get the T-51b power armour and other high level equipment.
