Fallout 3 add-ons

On, November 25, 2008 Bethesda Softworks announced plans to release a Fallout 3 editor and downloadable content in the coming weeks.

G.E.C.K. editor
The official editor for Fallout 3, called the G.E.C.K. (Garden of Eden Creation Kit), will be available for free download in December and will allow PC users to create and add their own content to the game.

The release of the G.E.C.K. provides the community with tools that will allow players to expand the game. Users can create, modify, and edit any data for use with Fallout 3, from building landscapes, towns, and locations to writing dialogue, creating characters, weapons, creatures, and more.

The G.E.C.K. will likely have a interface similar to The Elder Scrolls Construction Kit.

DLC packs
Three downloadable content packs will be coming to Xbox 360 and Games for Windows Live starting in January that will add new quests, items, and content to Fallout 3. It is currently unkown if they will add quests that are unrelated to the DLCs themsleves. Ex. a new settlement with its own quests in the package of Operation Anchorage.

Operation: Anchorage

The Pitt

Broken Steel
Join the ranks of the Brotherhood of Steel and rid the Capital Wasteland of the Enclave remnants once and for all. Continues the adventure past the main quest. Scheduled for release in March.
