    Wow, so the DLC is only exclusive to 360 and PC?

      Yeah I guess so! They just aren't catching any breaks there.

      Yeppers.......that's why I will just wait a year or so and see if they drop a disc that has all....similar to what happened with Oblivion.

        Yeah but MS didn't drop some cash for Obliv content.

      Nothing is ever permanent exclusive. And this will be coming to PS3 when it(contract) ends.

      ShadowJ explains it here.

      Also this isn't about the PS3 version so perhaps just editing the article to PC and 360 for this would be better.

        Depends on how long the contract is though, which is always kept secret.

        If the contract ends in say, 3 years, Bethesda isn't going to bother re-making the DLC for other systems. But we don't know how long it is for.

    Wow. Epic. All 3 sound amazing. Honestly I can't wait to try the first one.

    Third one sounds weird though. Says it'll extend the main quest. People who have beaten the game may have the same questions I do when reading that. Do we play as a random Brotherhood of Steel initiate? I'd hate for it to only be playable for certain endings.

      Maybe they will just make you go out on some missions with the Pride before hitting the final quest of the game?

    They all sound amazing. I hope that they do what they did with Oblivion and release a complete edition. Assuming it doesn't win GotY.

    I knew it! I KNEW IT! GO PETER HINES AND BETHESDA! So friggin sweet.

    was originally going to do a quest involving old Fallout fan favorite Harold - but Bethesda covered that in spades better than I ever dreamed.

    My second mod was going to be a quest to find a cybernetic version of dogmeat (I started work using the Oblivion toolset just to flesh out dialogue trees and locations).

    SO HAPPY! As I said, this is why Bethesda games on PC pwn the consoles that I love dearly. I can't wait to see what other modders come up with.

    EPIC!

    I love the neew quests they've announced. I think the timing and release intervals are perfect. I don't think most people will be done playing Fallout 3 a 100% by January. And the quests seem lengthy enough to tide us over until the next one is released.

    I guess I must not be as human as 360 players since I bought Fallout 3 too. I forked over the money like everyone else, why can't I experience some DLC...
