Forums - Gaming - Fallout 3 DLC dated for January 27 - patch released too

I wasnt sure if this game was multiplat or not that is why I put it into gaming discussion.

Bethseda has announced that Operation: Anchorage, which is the first of three expansion packs for Fallout 3, will be available to download from January 27.

Operation: Anchorage will cost 800 Microsoft Points for Xbox 360 and PC.

Due to an exclusivity agreement with Microsoft, the content will not be released on PS3.

Update: Bethseda has also released a patch that is needed before Operation Anchorage can be played. The 1.1 patch fixes who whole host of bugs and quests on all formats. Full list over at Destructoid.

You can download the PC patch from here.

wtf? that was one buggy game before the patch... Look at some of those



I am playing the PC version and surprisingly I havent encountered a single bug mentioned on this list. The game sometimes crashes though.



Fixed occasional crash after scoring a critical hit in the head with a Railway Rifle

Yay, I love the railway rifle.

Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
