Broken Steel Defeated! ...and RIP Star Paladin Cross

I just got through beating the final add-on in Fallout 3, Broken Steel, with the exception of a couple small equipment gathering quests which seem to just be for kicks. This final add-on was all-out war, pitting you against the remnants of the Enclave and alongside the Brotherhood of Steel. It featured some awesome new weapons including a new bad-ass flamethrower and a sweet Tesla-missile launcher thing which would electrocute the shit outta people. It also had some of the most hardcore enemies I've ever seen, and oddly enough they were Feral Ghouls, an enemy I had long stopped even being the slightest bit challenged by.

It was in an intense fight with these new Feral Ghoul Reavers that I lost my dear ally, Star Paladin Cross. Your sacrifice was not in vain!

Once again, the add-on is totally worth the 10 bucks, and didn't make me feel like crap like the Pitt did. However, now I'm sad because I've basically done everything in the game, I think. The only real option at this point is to start over and be totally evil...but I have trouble with that, it just seems...well, mean I guess. But ah well, maybe I'll just be a jerk, maybe it'll grow on me...

Also, for those that play Broken Steel, keep your eyes peeled when you're in the Enclave base, there's Alien Blaster ammo strewn about certain locations...

Broken Steel!

Just felt the need to post that I'm downloading it as I type this up, so I probably won't be seen for the next 6-8 weeks. I'm quite the giddy schoolgirl right now.

Lolo likes it too...in her own quiet-sleeping sort of way.

Broken Steel in a Mere 4 Days!

Or so they say. I'm ready; I've been dying to play Operation Anchorage and the Pitt for a while now, but I just couldn't justify it without a raised level cap. However, according to Bethesda's Fallout 3 webpage(scroll to the bottom), Fallout 3's Broken Steel DLC will be released on May 5! I still think it's too far off and I am having a hard time waiting that long...but I guess I'll have to cope.

Anyway, the add-on will raise the level cap to 30, supposedly change the outcome of the main plot-line, and will feature some new weapons and enemies, like the Heavy Incinerator and Super Mutant Overlord. All in all I guess it's worth the wait...

...so strap on that Enclave Power Armor and get your Fat Man ready, wastelanders. It looks to be a good fight.

Broken Steel Release Date?

I'm confused. IGN says it'll be released on September 30 '09 but that's gotta be a load. The Wiki article says it'll be released sometime in April and for some reason I remember thinking that it was set to come out tomorrow, April 15, but it looks like I just kinda pulled that outta my ass. If IGN is right, that's some bull-poop. Bethesda could at least just raise the level cap so I can finally play The Pitt and Operation Anchorage without feeling like I'm wasting my time not leveling up.
I mean, look at Lolo, does she look amused by all of this? No, no she doesn't. And I assure you, she is not amused, nor am I.
