What? It’s true,
 
Operation Anchorage: Completely different feel and solid rewards,
 
The Pitt: Spooky new atmosphere and a legitimate moral dilemma, And a truly unique new weapon type,
 
Mothership Zeta: Again a very different feel a whole host of sweet new weapons and armor,

@Thanotos Omega
 

Dude, Point Lookout was one of the best ones (next to The Pitt). Gave you a brand new environment to explore and had a pretty good questline. Even involved the Dunwich Building. The only gripe is the cheapass shotting Swamp people.
 
And you can’t tell me that whole drug trip sequence wasn’t awesome.

@soundtea  
I’m not saying it was bad, i’m saying that in a list of really good DLC, It served the least purpose, And gave the least reward,

@Thanotos Omega  
Anchorage looking back gave you some way too OP shit. Felt more like a Monty Haul. And Zeta was corridor after corridor of the same aliens. Least you got a snazzy alien disintegrator out of it.
 
Pitt and Point Lookout are the best ones from FO3. NV DLCs still beat them for the most part.

@Thanotos Omega  
My rebuttal:
 
Operation Anchorage: Turned an RPG into a crappy military shooter with a brainless excuse plot that punished you for putting points in anything but small guns and gave loot that completely broke the game.
 
The Pitt: Slogs down what could have been an interesting Gray Versus Gray moral situation (which was handled sloppily) with a tedious scrounging adventure, and railroads the player into become a slave is a completely stupid manner.
 
Mothership Zeta: Turned an RPG into a crappy science fiction shooter (though the story was a bit better, as I did enjoy the companion characters) that punished you for putting points in anything except energy weapons and gave you loot that completely broke the game.

I fucking loved the difficulty spike, made the whole DLC have this unnerving, scary sort of feel + the environment helped a great deal with this. Kept me at the edge of my seat the whole time.
 
I genuinely jumped out of my seat when I fell for a mine trap trying to grab something from a trolley.
 
Plus, the guns and melee just feel fucking awesome.

@Blackie  
The difficulty was fake, It was a cheap modifier rather than a real upgrade, Like say Old World Blues or Lonesome Road, Those earned there kills,

@Blackie  
Still you gotta admit, tis a bit immersion breaking to be in T-51b power armor and get mauled by hicks with boomsticks.

@Thanotos Omega
 

 
Every Beteshda game has handled difficulty like that since Morrowind, stop being wrong.

@soundtea
 
Dohoho, it felt awesome hearing the clank of the pitiful boolets hitting my state of the art protective gear while rushing towards them with an axe.

@Blackie  
But they handled it better no body had a magic +20 VS PC’s weapon unless they were a boss,

@Thanotos Omega
 
Tribeam laser + Supermutant Overlord
 
Your argument is invalid.

@Blackie  
That’s one enemy who is pretty rare, And whose appearance is tied to your level,

@Thanotos Omega
 
>Implying that makes it an acceptable choice to take
 
You’re talking as if Point Lookout was fucking impossible.
 
Grow some balls, get some gear and pop those drugs wimp, you’re way too accustomed to good ol’ easy vanilla FO3

@Blackie  
Take drugs! Kill a redneck!

@Blackie  
Difficulty doesn’t bother me when it’s fair and honest and i beat Point Lookout fairly easily but the fact still remains it has slightly poorer design than the other DLC,

@Thanotos Omega
 
I’d rather have easily beatable unbalances than game-breaking bugs and annoying glitches.
 
RE5 is like the only game that got difficulty modifiers right, to a degree.

@Blackie  
Look I’m not saying Point Lookout, is bad or even not good but in a purely objective manner it is the least impressive of the DLC,

@Thanotos Omega
 
*Subjective

@Thanotos Omega  
>least impressive
 
I think you mean Mothership Zeta. If I wanted a linear pewpew game I would have bought CoD.

@Blackie  
No i mean Objective, if we were going off of subjective then i would be saying Mothership Zeta is the best, But it isn’t The Pitt is,

@Thanotos Omega
 
The only objective reason you gave are the issues with damage modifiers.
 
And I know comas and dots are next to each other, but Jesus fuck, get one right for a change.

Old World Blues was the best Fallout dlc so far.

@Blackie  
I also pointed out that it was an unnecessary retread of what was already on offer in the main game, It didn’t bring more to the experience,
