Broken Steel

Broken Steel will be the third Fallout 3 downloadable content pack, to be released in March 2009 for Xbox 360 and Games for Windows Live.

In this DLC pack, you will join the ranks of the Brotherhood of Steel and rid the Capital Wasteland of the Enclave remnants once and for all. It will let player continue their adventures after the end of the main quest and raise the level cap to 30. It will also include new enemies and perks.

It is confirmed that the player character will still be the Lone Wanderer, even if the "sacrifice" option was taken at the end of Take it Back!.

The unused Enclave Shock Trooper armor may be used, or was a placeholder for another armor.

It is also unknown if there would be a bad karma option for tasks as joining the enclave. This DLC pack may just be a good karma one, which can also raise questions if there would be a future DLC pack for evil characters.

It is possible that the ending will be changed so you can get your follower (whether it be a robot, a ghoul, or a super mutant) will press the button instead of you. This was only talked about a little in the OXM podcast Episode 150 in the interview with Todd Howard.

According to Jeff Gardiner: "In our third DLC, “Broken Steel,” we’ve come up with a way of allowing the player to continue on past the game ending… by changing it!"
