    Hey everyone. I have been waiting for the three Fallout 3 DLC's to be released, and with the recent release of Broken Steel, I want to know which of the three I should get. I want all three of them but I hear that Operation: Anchorage was not worth the 800 points ($10). The Pitt looked good and I know that Broken Steele is well worth it so which ones should I get? Thanks to everyone for their input.

    I'll give the good and the bad on Operation Anchorage, The Pitt and Broken Steel.

    Operation Anchorage
    Four hours of extended play
    Playing this DLC felt sort of boring
    Once you finish the DLC you can't go back into the DLC on that Character.
    The Items you get after you finish it are quite useful (if you plan to get more DLC or start a new character and go there first).

    The Pitt
    Three to four hours of extended play (without finding Ingots)
    The Unique weapons are average nothing too special
    If you search for all 100 Steel Ingots in the DLC that will add some time (if you like searching for things).
    You can go back into the DLC after you finish it.
    You have two ways of finishing this DLC unlike OA.
    The Auto Axe is a pretty cool weapon.

    Broken Steel (I've yet to download)
    Obviously raising the cap to 30 is nice
    It is the largest download (so it'll probably be the longest excluding looking for the Steel Ingots)
    Broken Steel has 150G worth of Gamerscore, when OA and The Pitt only have 100G each.
    I don't know much more about Broken Steel.

    Thanks for the input. I think I may get The Pitt and Broken Steel for now then get Operation Anchorage later.

    I liked Operation Anchorage very good. It actually seemed like a different game when playing it. Better than The Pitt I think. Though I really like Broken Steel. Level cap increase, being able to resume the game past project purity. It was a must for me. Though I'd go for all three. As there all very good. Though If low on Microsoft Points / Cash I'd go with Broken Steel for now. Then work on Operation Anchorage and finally The Pitt.

    update: also new weapons in Broken Steel (Telsa Cannon) very nice weapon.

    Yeah I know what you mean, at first I really liked it, then you don't get much more weapons until after you finished the DLC and you can't heal yourself without finding one of those red containers.

    Thanks King for the input. I think I might just get Broken Steel for now then get the others later.
