As stated above, Broken Steel picks up the story after you get the slide show.
The Pitt contians a foundry to recycle any ammo you find into ammo you can use. Also two of the most powerful melee weapons in the game can be picked up and you can collect steel to turn in for some nice stuff.
I wonder if anyone here is knowledgeable enough to help me, or at least explain, this problem I’m having.
I’ve finished the main game and am waiting patiently for the expansion packs to become available in Japan. In Japan I’m limited to the crappy Japan only network and there doesn’t appear to be any downloads available yet. The further complication is that my software is Korean (I wanted to play the game in English which the Korean software allows, but the Japanese one doesn’t) so will the Japanese downloadable expansion pack even work with my korean software?? Should I just order the disks from Korea (I have no idea how to do that - the game was a gift from a friend) or could I order the disks from the states - they should be compatible right?
I’m a bit lost at what to do.
Thanks for the suggestions. Yesterday I bought Broken Steel but have not had a chance to play it.
I’m playing on a PS3 by the way. I doubt that version is moddable?
yeah i hated this game, i know others who loved it, but i played it for like a day and stopped, just nothing in it appealed to me
Lady Killer might be a novelty, but if you’re playing as a female character, the Black Widow perk that replaces it isn’t too shabby. Since the male human enemies outnumber the females, that extra 10% against opposite sex opponents makes more sense than if you play as a male.
Well, I agree with you about how shooting 8 shots in the face should kill something, but I do see a loophole in the reasoning for FO3. Supermutants, and for that matter everything else in the area, have been modified by radiation exposure and are more resistant to certain things. In the game, they go in depth explaining this with the Supermutants when trying to get the GECK from the radiated vault, even mentioning how their skin has become tougher and more resistant to damage. It still does not justify how anything can survive 8 shots to the head with a gun.
The American version of the game WILL NOT work on Japan, it’s region locked to NTSC-U / PAL. However, the expansion packs should be available on the Japanese network. You can get a japanese copy of the game with them included (saw it at the store the other day, in fact). Also, you can switch what marketplace you access, I believe. I have a Jap Xbox360 but still connect to the American XBLM. Try going into console settings and changing the location. That might work, I don’t know, but I do know it’s possible to access the US marketplace from a Jap xbox and, so long as the name of the game is the same, DLC will work (I’ve only run into the problem with PES, called Winning 11 still in Japan. Cause the names are different the DLC updates don’T work on my version of the game. Everything else I’ve done is fine) though occasionally you run into some weirdness, like my copy of Megaman 10 is all in Japanese even though I got it from US XBLM
Broken Steel and Point Lookout were very good. Broken Steel because it adds levels and advances the main story line. Lookout Point had some of the best atmosphere in the game, a really neat horror movie vibe. The Pitt was fun but not great, though the ammo press is one of the best rewards in the game if you find yourself chronically low on your preferred ammo (for me it’s always .44 ammo for the Lincoln Repeater). When I replay the game this expansion is the first thing I do for that reason alone.
I didn’t like Operation Anchorage at all. Some of the rewards for completing it are very good but I didn’t like the story or atmosphere and the actual game play wasn’t fun for me either.
I really liked Point Lookout for both the atmosphere and the rifle you can get (I was less impressed with the hillbilly double barreled shotgun). It was pretty spooky, over all.
It was ok, but the best part were the rewards. The Chinese Stealth Suit is just a blast to use (especially after you do the Pitt and get the silenced automatic rifle), and of course the Gauss Rifle is the best weapon, bar none, in the game (if you have the repair mod to keep it going).

And it makes dealing with Tenpenny’s goon rather interesting.
Yeah, the stealth suit is really fun to play with. I don’t know if I’d call the gauss rifle the best weapon though. Sure, it might be the most effective weapon, but there’s a certain je ne sais quoi that you can only get from sneaking up behind somebody, putting a grenade in their pocket, and running away giggling like a crazy person. 
True, but I prefer the long-distance approach. Nothing like popping heads from up high on a cliff while the mobs run around helplessly.
Evergreen Mills is nice for that.
Just got Lincoln’s Repeater for the first time – made it through with my first playthrough with the other unique Hunting Rifle that isn’t as good (from Republic of Dave, maybe?). I’m having fun. The Super Mutants in the Mall definitely aren’t surviving multiple headshots – one shot, from hundreds of yards away, and not only does their head explode, but their limbs go flying off or their body liquifies. 
Love Bloody Mess.
Oh, no doubt. And there is a lot of fun to be had using the MIRV to, especially in a group of Super Mutants who are in a car park, with a bus nearby (you don’t survive such an encounter, mind, but it’s wildly funny to watch for as long as you live).
My favorite thing, though, is to put on my Chinese Stealth Suit, my stealth hat, and grab my silenced semi-automatic rifle and then go into a raider camp. There is just something about sneaking around and sniping raiders when they can’t see you. You kill one, the others run around for a while, then go back to their positions and you shoot another…and another…and another. Until the last one is there, blithely sitting around, without a care in his or her little empty head…
All the while you are listening to ‘bongo, bongo, bongo, I don’t wanna leave the Congo, oh no no no no no…’
