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

Quote from: grumbler on March 29, 2009, 01:41:10 PMAs 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.

:yes:

I pretty much live in MS's Live ecosystem now & think nothing of buying points, or at least *using* them (I'm still working through some points cards I bought @ 20-30% off during Circuit City's going out of business sale).  Between Zune, X360, & now GfWL, they own my soul :D

I wouldn't worry about it. GfWL is almost universally reviled at this point, the horror stories surrounding the distribution of the first expansion pack haven't died down yet and no one but the most dedicated of Microsoft fanboys is even bothering to defend the service anymore. I'm not sure how much longer it's going to exist, but I can guarantee you Bethsoft isn't going to pass up the pool of sales to be had by releasing these expansions in a hassle-free format.

SPOILER:

Talk to Simms.  Agree to disarm the bomb.  Talk to Mr. Burke.  Agree to blow Megaton up and take fusion pulse thingy.  Go to Lucas Simms and tell him about Burke's offer.  Follow Simms to the saloon, watch them argue, and then wait for Burke to shoot Simms in the back.  Whip out hunting rifle and explode Burke's head with multiple shots.  Loot both corpses.  Disarm bomb.  Tell Harden Simms about it.  Loot Simms's house.  Get new house.  PROFIT!

Keep in mind that, while I got Fallout 3 when it came out (in fact we preordered it), I barely played it at first cause it kept crashing.  I've only revisited it in the past few weeks since I had gotten a little bored of WoW and noticed it'd been patched some--though in the grand Bethsoft tradition, it seems the latest patch has broken a bunch of VATS-related shit that wasn't broken before. :lol:

So far, my explorations have been basically limited to Springvale, Megaton, the Super-Duper Mart, Vault 106, Arefu, North Seneca, and the Meresti Station/Trainyard.

Me, too but I guess I let Burke get away. 

Speaking of Megaton, the first time I played, I hadn't quite figured out the karma system & that stealing certain things would actually piss people off.  So I couldn't figure out why Moriarty suddenly got all pissy with me out of the blue & started shooting.  A couple lucky headshots took him down quickly.

When I steal shit it tells me "You have lost Karma" ands plays an evil-sounding tone.

Considering his support for gay bans, he has a slower reaction time to obvious signs of evil.

Right, but my reaction was "yeah, so what?" and I kept stealing stuff that had red text.

Well, to be fair that's exactly how I react too.  If I want something, it's mine.  Kinda like in real life. :cool:
