  • Story

    Though few details have been released, the Broken Steel DLC for Fallout 3 will put players in the role of a Brotherhood of Steel soldier as that organization tries to rid the Capital Wasteland of the Enclave. The story will pick up where Fallout 3 originally ended and provide further gameplay beyond the main the story. The developers have also said the DLC will alter the ending of the original game, and players will need to first complete the main story in order to play the missions in Broken Steel.UGO: Fallout 3 Broken Steel to Change the End of the Game
  • Gameplay

    Besides continuing on the main story of Fallout 3, another major change that Broken Steel will bring to the game is the ability of players to level their characters up to 30. Before, players had only been able to level their characters up to 20.

    Besides that, the core gameplay is likely to stay the same, with the player having a variety of weapons to choose from, as well as the ability to choose to be good or evil, and only take on missions they want to.1UP.com: Fallout 3 Level Cap Going To Thirty
