Go to GOG.com, you can get both for $6 each, no DRM.
Or you can get them illegally and get a glitchy, unfinished, and probably virus filled file.
dought it... why do people always assume a pirated copy have something wrong with them???
Probably because in the 5 years I worked at geek squad 9 out 10 computers that came in with virus or problems with programs. They have limewire or bittorent or some other torrent /p2p system installed and when you ask them for a cd to reinstall the software or whatnot they usually say oh I just downloaded it I don't have a cd or anything.
remember 9/10 americans are idiots (sarcasm)
Then again you need to remember the people that are downloading torrents and seeding torrents are also in that 9/10 group and when downloading those torrents you have no way to check against that.

Because people are silly, it's do it my way or don't do it at all. That or they've never pirated something before, I have fallout 3 and I torrented it for free sure I have to wait 2 more days to get my DLC patches but I don't have to pay for mine.
So you are proud of pirating fallout 3 and proud that you kept money from a game company and development team that you must like if you are playing long enough to get the expansion packs. How would you like it if you came up with an amazing product that you spent 3 years and millions of dollars on with a bunch of other people and once your product was released you made no money off of it because everyone just decided to pirate it.
I would say wow that sucks but I can't do anything to stop it. You need to learn to deal with the fact that some people pirate games and some people steal games. In an age when the only way to see if you enjoy the game is to play it. I rather dl it for free then spend 60 dollars to test a game.
See the problem is even after you have downloaded it and found that you like it you still have not given them the money for the game so you are not testing you are STEALING. Yeah it sucks when you get a junk game and payed the 60. But there is always renting games if you want to test it, also there are reviews a plenty on most games out there that can give you an educated guess on whether or not you will like the game. There are many videos on pretty much any game of in game play and story lines and such. All pirating/stealing games does it hurt everyone but the criminal that is doing it. Why do you think you have the right to play a game without paying for it. You do not need the games it is not required for you to play it. Games are entertainment if you want to play them then pay the guys that made them so that they will make more and have the funding to make better.
Sorry for the wall of text but piracy/stealing pisses me off to no end. Also yes pirating software is stealing by definition.
steal
1. to take without permission or right, esp. secretly or by force: A pickpocket stole his watch.
2. to appropriate (ideas, credit, words, etc.) without right or acknowledgment.
