Question about Fallout 3's GOTY edition

[sms_117b]

Worth it, oh so worth it, but, delete your original game data before playing to avoid a multitude of game freezes.

Not your saved data, the game data, I couldn't liberate the water purifyer as it crashed every single time, deleted my old data file and it worked!

I loved the F3 DLC. Especially Mothership Zeta.

Spoiler

Nothing beats running around the F3 world with laser/ray guns (proper laser guns, not the stupid shit they put in the game to begin with.)

You liked Mothership Zeta? You're the first person I've seen. Personally, I hated it, and I hate that I can't get the Alien Blaster without starting it, I'm this close to deleting it from my hard drive for that reason.

You could probably find mods on the F3 Nexus that drop those weapons somewhere in the world. As for why I like it: I think its a nice change from the usual grey/greenish tingey wasteland and rather comical.

Point Lookout was pretty fun too. I was pretty immersed with that DLC. Ancorage was alright at the start, but then once you got out of the stealthy bit, it just got too boring.

Unfortunately, I'm playing on the 360 version of the game.

And I just thought that it dragged on and on for no reason. Hell, even Anchorage had a plot.

Ah bugger. Isn't there some way you can get mods for the 360? But yeah I guess the only thing about Zeta was the guns and aliens.

The DLC is most defiantly worth it.

And Yeaah I did it with Fallout 3 and Oblivion, defiantly worth it, and happy I did so!

Though apprently the GOTY edition has a few bugs in it. Don't quote me on that, just be aware.

You are correct.

I've been on The Vault (Fallout's Wiki) quite often and have seen "The PS3 GOTY edition has a glitch..." at least fifteen times on the various pages I've visited on it.

I'd be happy to post a link to each article, but my obsession with Fallout 3 has died down and you could probably find them just as easily by going to the wiki and browsing random pages.

Be wary if you're still thinking about going for the PS3 GOTY edition. The extra 20 euros just may be worth spending if you can avoid some glitches.

This mainly apllies to Mothership Zeta, where a fair few teleporters will break if you do not do something that is not 100% obvious to do, or if you do things in a certain order, etc.

The general thing is to get it, and then not play the Mothership Zeta quests. Zeta is easily the worst DLC (except maybe for the alien and character weapons), so it's not too big a loss.

Point Lookout is a little bit over-rated to me, but it's certainly better than Anchorage and Zeta (although I do like Anchorage). Besides that, I agree completely.

The reason I liked Point Lookout so much was because it was such a large new area to explore. Wandering off into the middle of nowhere is my favorite thing to do in F3 and Point Lookout had lots of fun little secrets to find.

I also thought the swamp section

where you trip out and find your mother's corpse insulting you

was the most awesome and harrowing part of the entire F3 experience.

I own the standard Fallout 3 for the PS3, no DLC. I can buy the GOTY edition in retail for 30 euros, if I bought the DLC separately on PSN, it would cost 50 euros total (strange how buying the game again is actually cheaper than downloading all the DLC eh?). My first question is, is the DLC worth it? My second question is if the save files of my standard Fallout 3 is compatible with the GOTY version. Thanks in advance!

And for discussion's sake, have you ever bought a different version of a game you already own? I did, with the Special Edition of DMC 3, it was pretty cheap, so I picked it up.

1. the DLC is very worth it. although each one is fairly short, you can get alot of new equipment and weapons, plus with broken steel you can carry on plaing after the main game finishes and the level cap is raised to 30 rather than 20.
2. yes the fallout 3 goty is compatably with fallout 3, this is becasue the goty comes with a second disc. on the second disc you have all the dlc witch you download onto your harddrive as if you bought if online.
