Fallout 3 and the World of DLC

Even though I finished Fallout 3 a full 12 days ago, I still wanted to blog about it, I just haven't gotten around to it yet... until now.

A lot of the time, when I buy DLC, I don't really ask myself "Is it worth it?" I already know that most of the DLC I buy isn't worth the cash, let alone the bandwidth it takes to download it. The only reason I make such absurd purchases is to see a completion, not to enjoy the half-assed (if any, HALO WARS) content.

Fallout 3 DLCs (and some particular others) are actually worth the purchases, in my honest opinion. You may not like it as much as the original game, you may think they could have done better, made it longer, or even more enjoyable; but at least there's content. Some games add a different mode, some achievements, charge $10, and call it an add-on, so you're quite literally paying for achievements.

With Fallout 3 you got five add-ons with five different stories, and almost every single one was over two hours or more to complete, and that's not even counting the side-quests. Along with buying every add-on, they've decided to throw in a Premium Theme, something 'Splosion Man and The Maw give you just for playing through the game. Regardless, I'll be using that theme come Oct. 1st when it becomes free for us DLC dependent whores.
