Apparently the second add on is out, The Pitt, taking you - duh - to Pittsburgh. There seems to have been a blunder with the release, so I have no idea how it is. Anyone tried it?

Heh. Like the rest of FO3, it shits on the older series.

Given how people seem to know about the NCR, huh?

I don't care if the Bethesda crew gangrape the original developers of Fallout 1 in a secret basement under their offices with nail spiked corncobs every time the Yankees win a match, they created a game that's great fun and that's pretty much all I asked of them.

Fucking fanbois should be put in small holes and thrown at with copies of FO3 till death occurs.

Not everyone knoews about NCR; in fact, I don't recall a single mention of it in the game.

Lots of tpeople in the original games said things that turned out to be untrue, so this is nothing (except to the emo fans of the first two games who cannot grasp the fact that the series has moved on).

As for this add-on, once again I am passing until they release a CD version of all the DLC together.  I refuse to use GfWL and go through the hassle of "Microsoft Points."  If that means I never get the DLC, then that also means BethSoft will never get my money.  It's up to them.

Ack, had forgotten about that crap. Indeed, better to wait for the inevitable DVD with their online content. They said that the content for Oblivion would only ever be online, and they broke down and put it on a disk.

I can't even spend 10 minutes reading the posts in the NMA forum without getting annoyed at those fanbois.

I just do not get them.  I mean I enjoyed FO1 and 2 but were they really so good as to justify more than a decade of blind fanaticism?  Some religious movements do not generate as much irrational passion as those two games do.

Mr. P, was that crappy strip supposed to be an indictment of the FO3 players, or the NMAtards?

I started a new game over the weekend and have been playing this again (unmodded).   I forgot how much fun it was.  Last night I stumbled into Vault 106 for the first time  :cthulu:

Okay I got the PC version.  So far it seems exactly the same as the 360 version.
