Jason from Bethesda said it himself apparently. I'm not convinced still for some reason.

Awesome! Not that I'm convinced either, but I do expect something down the line.

Sounds good. Hopefully I'll be able to play through a couple times by then before I do my final complete playthrough with all the DLCs. Broken Steel came at a bad time on my first playthrough of Fallout 3. I ended up plateauing at level twenty all the way through half of Operation Anchorage and The Pitt. If they make their DLC as well as they do the regular game, I'm definitely buying it.

Now that DLC is confirmed, maybe some people can finally see why Steam DRM was chosen.

They'll likely still complain though.

A retcon like Broken Steel will not happen again.

they will most likely do an expansion at some point, i don't think it will be 5 small dlc's, it will prob be one pretty big expansion.

I think they'll do the episodic 800MSP content like fallout 3 did.
And even if we complain about it we all know we're going to buy the DLC's anyway :rolleyes:

Fine. I suppose this is good news.

But if I'm paying 800ms for these DLCs, I expect them to be on the level of Point Lookout, or at least that size. Alternatively, if they want to bring up something of a smaller scale, charge less -- I didn't think it was fair paying ￡7 for two hours of below-par gameplay.

Would the DLC's for NV also come out on discs? I'm not really one for buying things off the internet.

I assume they'll do what they did with FO3: release DLC 'packs'. I think the first pack was Pitt and O: A; the second as BS and Point Lookout, etc.

If not, I imagine Obsidian and Bethesda would release a GOTY edition if NV is a big success.

Ye i also hope for a huge expansion, not like the Fo3's expansions.

I never expected otherwise, honestly.

Shame if it's only DLCs. I find it hard to get excited over 2 hour missionpacks, when I have just completed the game that required a 100+ hours.

I posted a few times saying that they would do DLC...it was obvious. Most popular games have DLC now ,it's the trend,plus it's more money making too.
Fallout is the perfect game for DLC & it's popular enough for it too.
If they do five DLC's like fallout 3 ,i'd still buy them....but like most i'd prefer a big expansion.
They may already have ideas for DLC or an expansion....but i just hope obsidian read some of our posts on ideas,because some people have come up with great ideas for NV & future fallouts...not all ideas are good,but there are some very good ones out there

You're damn right.
DLC's are just a given in todays market. There's no reason they shouldn't do them. If there's the potential for episodic content in DLC, they will do it. That's legitimate potential, not fan outcry wankfests, mind you.
I just hope the DLC's amount to more than "Hey, look at what other location in the US we nuked to hell!" like a lot of DLC ideas would like to suggest.

This.


I wopuld really appreaciate an expansion...

Yeah and most popular games now have multiplayer too, it's the trend.

No, I really don't see how that has anything to do with it, lots of games have DLC but don't require Steam.

And even if I can understand why they made the choice doesn't mean I have to approve of it, or like it. After all, I can understand why someone might want to rob a bank too, that doesn't change the fact that it's something I would not approve of.

But anyway, I see no reason to be surprised, I always considered it pretty much a given anyway, when DLC has continually proven an effective means to milk extra profit from gamers, why would Obsidian not try to take advantage of it too?

Oblivion has no Steam, no GFWL, no DRM, just a disc check for copy protection (which, unlike Fallout 3's disc check, is built into the game executable rather than the launcher), and it has downloadable DLCs which don't use Steam. I downloaded all the DLCs for Oblivion that I use from the official download site obliviondownloads.com (before it went down for months and came back up in its current form).

They asked: Will there be DLC?
and he answered: Yes we do!

Does that answer look like it's out of context to anyone else? I question the validity of an article where the "journalist" cannot even quote themselves accurately.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....... i want an expansion packs......

Yea id prefer an expansion over a DLC. the age were in now believes that a DLC is just an expansion to the game, where in most cases its an excuse to charge more for the full game.

well i'm hoping they learned a lesson from FO3 and put more energy into one or two expansions or large dlc instead of 5 rushed small incomplete feeling dlc's, the pitt was the best dlc i think, broken steel had good quests and good enemies to fight, but it kinda broke the game with the extra 10 level and all the extra skill points, PL was mostly water if you look at the map of the area, the quests were good but it didn't have one town or settlement, and considering the area was the largest of all DLC's it should of had more friendly people in it and some settlements and some large complexes to explore, but not much is in a swamp so hopefully they learned a lesson there, MZ was fun to do once or twice, but i could of lived without it pretty easy, prob a waste of money. OA was only good to do because of the loot, mainly the gauss rifle and winterized armor, so instead of rushing to buy dlc's like i did with FO3, i will be paying close attention to the reviews of any dlc, and if they are just small, rushed and don't have any towns or settlements, i'll pass on em this time around. if the revies for them are outstanding or very good then i will most likely buy them but i'm gonna have to be more carefully as to not waste money on mediocre dlc's.

i thought the pitt was the best story wise but point lookout i think was better because of land mass... i mean they should add the stuff to the game world..... like the world map so we dont have to go to the place to tele from there....

I'll hope they bring in a bigger DLC like a 20 dollar DLC or an expansion like it was done with SI in Oblivion. But other than that the DLC sizes for FO3 were fine and I hope they don't bring in smaller ones.

Migration to Steam is a good thing too as GfWL was really bad.
