Fallout3 And Playing With Dlc From Begining, the dlc of the Options

[Anarchy99]

i bought all the dlc and the game because the game looked good at a friends house
is there any reason not to play with the dlc from the get go or should i beat the game andf then download the dlc?
should i download only one dlc at a time?
if so which order?

basically i want to know of any pros and cons of having the dlc


just noticed while typing the title got messed up cause i must have taped the trackpad while typing oops

I don't know about The Pitt, or Operation Anchorage but I have installed and played 3 DLC after I was around level 20 but it would work from the beginning also but I don't recommend it. You should play through the story first because the DLC bad guys are hard to kill...Might be hard for a lower level character. I notice my game freezes a lot more often when it never used to before I installed everything. I installed Point Lookout and Brotherhood of Steel from disc and downloaded Mothership Zeta. One thing that changes is at the end of the story I don't want to spoil anything so don't read on but you do not die and wake up 2 weeks later. Without the Brotherhood of Steel addon you just die so that is the one I would recommend if you don't get any other one because it raises your level cap from 20 to 30. I plan on installing the last 2 DLC pretty soon here because this is one of the best game for 360, PC, PS3,whatever. I love it....

I wanted to point out is that if you are worried about your Dogmeat character g getting killed than do not be concerned. With the broken Steel DLC that raises your level cap from 20 to 30 there is a perk to get another Dog called Dogmeats pup. Every time the pup dies another one replaces him a few hours later @ Vault 101. The only problem is I had Clover as my companion and it made her go back to Paradise Falls and it said Jericho was back in Megaton even though Jericho got killed way earlier in the game. . The problem is I can't get Clover to follow me anymore saying that i have too many companions for her to join me...bummer... even if the Pup is stashed @ my house or not with me. So that is the tradeoff. Human companions or Dog companion. Not sure why the Developers made it tha way but just remember its a perk you get above level 20. I just wish I knew the ramifications of this perk going into it. However, Fallout is all about choices and the consequences of those choices and it was done to me without my knowledge once again Bethesda. Thanks for pulling th wool over my eyes.

WTF, lol I hope that was sarcasm. I can't see being mad at the developers because you have to pick between Clover and a dog...

It doesn't really matter, but do install Brotherhood of Steel. Without it, the game just ends. With it, you get to continue on and do whatever after the "ending".

Why does this game keep crashing and locking up on me? I have a JTAG and this game keeps corrupting my saves and then the next day I go to start up and instead it just sends me back to the dash...
WTF???

did you yaris swap the dlc if you have it? Also if your saves are from another console you may need to apply a title update to Fallout 3. I believe Title Update #3 is the latest.

Where can I get the 3rd TitleUpdate for Fallout New Vegas for a JTAG'd xbox?

[Unimatrix47]

Im pretty sure that there is only the 1 TU for Fallout Vegas

If you would read they are all talking about Fallout 3 not New Vegas.
