None of the data in this thread is mine, I'm just recopying. This thread is just to carry on discussion here.

I'm not going to copy paste every picture, go to the http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1197191-qore-old-world-blues-info/ to look at those.

The video itself is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWriHgpckF0 and http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OZRE08FV.

Edit: I only opened this thread since the other was 4 posts from a lock.

Hey, I didn't expect that one to go so far in so little time. Anyways, I finally went on Qore and watched the interview and I have to say: Old World Blues is starting to look like a winner.

Old World Blues will be Prime

Why thank you Colonel.

Anyways, since everyone was making lists of their favorite DLC's, I wanted to post my own:

1). Operation Anchorage
2). Dead Money
3). Mothership Zeta
4). Honest Hearts
5). Point Lookout
6). Broken Steel
7). The Pitt

Hmm... very similar to my list. Great minds think alike I suppose.

1. The Pitt
2. Dead Money
3. Mothership Zeta
4. Honest Hearts
5. Point Lookout
6. Operation Anchorage
7. Broken Steel

*Pokes head in* Hey, what's going on in this thread. NO LISTS. THIS IS NOT OLD WORLD BLUES RELEVENT! *Raises a whacking cane*

Colonel, shouldn't you copy/pasta the stuff I wrote in the original thread to your first post? Much easier for people than going through your thread to get to the old one.

Dog Guns! Talking Toasters! Lobotomites!

Whew, we have an extra ten minutes.

Bearing in mind that I like all of them, really --


1). Mothership Zeta -- I agree that it's an uncomfortable fit with Fallout canon, but man, I love shooting aliens. I never get tired of this.
2). Dead Money -- I think this is a fantastic DLC for those who take time to explore the characters and locations. An amazing amount of content and incident packed into a small area.
3). The Pitt -- I just love the rusty, smoky atmosphere. I wish there was more to explore. Can you imagine this expanded?
4). Broken Steel -- The game should have ended after the last mission, but I loved the changes in the CW, the bullet sponges, the missions and most of all, ' Hey, Fawkes can do it!'
5). Operation Anchorage -- I loved the change of scenery and, frankly, the exploits.
6). Honest Hearts -- Zion was beautiful, the characters were heartfelt and the Survivalist is my new favorite Fallout character. It's only this low on the list because the story was over too soon.
7). Point Lookout -- I loved the swampfolk and the change of scenery. I liked the Ghoul and the Brain. I liked diving for treasure. But something about PL was boring to me. I can't explain it.

*whack!* Dammit, Colonel!

I'm thinking Old World Blues might be number 1, soon. I can't wait.

I wasn't necessarily excited for Old World Blues intially, but the more information that I start to get on it, the more it seems like something to get excited about.

Yeah man same here, I thought it was just going to be crap like Mothership Zeta when I first heard about it but now its really looking good.

DLC Ranking:

1. Point Lookout - tons of great stuff packed in a nice sized area and a surprise since my expectations were low going in.
2. Broken Steel - given how bad the original F3 ending was, this was a nice way to say sorry, even if the Enclave Jawa cruiser thing was rather hard to take seriously.
3. Honest Hearts - nice focus on a reasonably sized area and the Survivalist side story was amazingly well written.
4, Dead Money - good story but the "exploding collars" gimick got old fast and was reused until the end.
5. Operaton Anchorage - pretty linear, limited gear in game (though nice loot at the end).
6.The Pitt - too small and not much to do, especially if you sided with the guy in charge.
7. Mothership Zeta - not because of the alien aspect, I just thought it was a weak DLC to end the Fallout 3 series on.

Do we really need tops? this an Old World Blues thread

I knew OWB was gonna be fun, but was totally amped up for LR.
Now, with all the awesome stuff we've seen, I can't look past OWB. I'm very excited.

Imho:
1. Point Lookout
2. The Pitt
3. Dead Money
4. Mothership Zeta
5. Broken Steel
6. Honest Hearts
7. Operation Anchorage

Well I was always looking forward to Old World Blues even when it was just a title, anything concerning the Old World is interesting, and when I heard about the 'Big Empty' from Elijah I was looking forward to it immensly. Since the trailer though I don't know, I was looking for something more serious, maybe Van Buren's: Boulder, Reservation or even better Bloomingfields Space Center; and yeah it doesn't look completely insane, loving that composite shot of the whole facility. But Robot-Scorpions, an Energy Axe(?), loads of talking appliances, I'll keep my reservations but Chris Avellone saying that OWB might be closer to the dark humour of Fallout 2 is a little bit of a knock to me.

As for my list on DLCs:

Old World Blues - I'm actually going to predict that this might be high on my list; even with my own reservations my opinion on what makes a DLC good is massively opinionated, for example tribals don't interest me and only Zion itself saved HH. Big Mountain itself is enough for me to predict that OWB will be in the top 3, provided it doesn't pull a MZ and lock the entire place down.

Lonesome Road - See HH, doesn't really interest me at the moment - based soley on Ulysess - but if we get more infomation in OWB then my tune might change.

1. Dead Money - I loved it, thought it was a damn good DLC in every regard.

2. The Pitt - Best DLC for F3, grey, dark, and both endings seem pretty cruel at the end with eyepatch guy basically doing it for his own power. Actions have consequences and a damn ripping yarn all-around.

3. Point Lookout - Just some new area's to freeroam, seriously more of this and less MZ! Oh and Desmond was pretty cool, hoping he returns one day with infomation in pre-war Britain; seriously, as a Brit having Alistar Tenpenny be this great man whom might have crossed the Atlantic only not to say anything and just be a baby eating dike - I honesty liked him but maybe that's just me being an apathetic villian.

4. Honest Hearts - Love Zion and the new recipes, tribals however don't particularly interest me.

5. Operation: Anchorage - Largely combat focused but I didn't hate it, again, pre-war infomation even if suspect and potentially un-reliable; liked the Outcasts being kind-of BoSish too. I enjoyed it for what it was, though it's Gauss Rifle immitation really rubbed me the wrong way; I want the old Gauss Rifles back they were [censored] insane and small guns too!

Now the bottom of the [censored]-barrel:

6. Mothership Zeta - Yeah pretty much what has already been said, the aliens were just bullet-sponges, their plan was just... kind of not stated and lulzy, they've been over Earth for 600 years and all we know of their plan was (another!?!) Super-Soldier programme and turning robotic ponies into somekind of death machine. Seemed like just an excuse to put in some really cool gear without rhyme-or-reason and just a confusing shooting-fest all-around; certainly not final DLC quality.

7. Broken Steel - Ugh. Ruined whatever weight the previous ending had. More just kill the Enclave storm-stroopers. Even at the end of it Lyon's still says the Enclave 'might return to D.C. one day' and that 'It take months for their camps in the wasteland to learn of AAFB's destruction'; a sign that Bethesda can just not put things down to [censored] rest and a piss poor reason to just keep Enclave camps around in the wastelan, yeah I'm sure it'll take MONTHS for those that two man camp next to the Reclining Groves Resort homes to realise that they haven't had any orders, food, ammo or just supplies in general. Even when I blew up the Citadel BS still felt the need to [censored] me over by having all of the Enclave I mesmertronned at AAFB disappear and be replaced by BoS Paladins, oh and they deleted the door and ramp back into the Crawler even if you didn't blow it up.... :flame: WHY!?! :flame:

1 Old World Blues
2 The Pitt

Is OWB going to be a bit of a joke DLC? I was hoping for a serious one with this. I was thinking due to it being pre war I thought it might have that secret dark government feel.

I will still get it though.

Any one hoping that Mr. House's brother will be involved in some way? I saw someone talking about communist brainwashing and remembered reading his terminal in the H&H tools factory, and he wouldn't stop rambling about the reds.

Yeah same.

I think it will have alot of that feel, but at the same time, it's seeming to bring back alot of that black humour Fallout had in the older games. I think the comedic images we've seen are more of a....hook line I suppose you could say? Something to make people say 'Okay Obsidian, convince me I should buy this DLC'. I doubt you'll be disappointed by the DLC, I bet it will have that forboding you want in it

any news on when it will be out? :spotted owl:

i am still betting on the 14 th :intergalactic:

No official date, but if I had to guess I would say... June 19th or close around.

Ok....so I know everybody is done making lists...but I want one too :flamethrower:
1. Broken Steel: I don't care what anybody says, you get to play past the ending! :celebration: and I love seeing what happens to Megaton and the other settlements
2. The Pitt: twisted ending, trogs freaked me out more than super mutants, I loved the world that was created
3. Dead Money: I only wish you could go back, because it was so damn hard that I didn't want to explore, I only wanted to survive. I've never seen such well-fleshed out characters and that two had a strong connection to Veronica, the story was just awesome...we all know this :vaultboy:
4. Point Lookout: It was so glitchy that I couldn't fully enjoy it and by the time I started playing I already knew the main points to the DLC, but it was awesome going through that place with the bobbleheads (I don't remember what they were actually called) and it was a great area to explore
5. Honest Hearts: It let me down :sadvaultboy: but the scenery was great and some of the locations were very interesting...and it was better IMO than these last two
6. Operation Anchorage: I just wasn't a real fan...combat is ok...but I needed more story, good sword at the end though :hubbahubba: and excellent weapons
7. Mothership Zeta: the only interesting parts were the tapes
