There was a gap in Fallout 3 as well where a line of faction quests could have been slotted in, and I found myself wondering why they hadn’t done that in the original game. I should have known, to be honest. I doubt they could have created and Q&A’d that much content between the time of the game’s release and now, so that content was probably being worked on when the game was still in development, and was singled out for DLC at that time. And that’s what I’ll believe until I see evidence to the contrary. I wonder how much they’re going to charge us for that?

I wouldn’t hate DLC as much if DLC didn’t keep giving me so many obvious reasons to despise it. :/ Don’t get me wrong, I think Fallout 3 is a great game and I enjoyed it thouroughly, but I still think this DLC nonsense is all dirty tactics to wring every last bit of money out of honest consumers. If there’s any reason people pirate, it’s things like this. The honest consumer pays for the product and then for DLC (if they’re silly enough), and the pirate gets both the product and the DLC for free.

it’s like paying taxes for pirates. At least, that’s what it feels like. And sometimes I just feel tempted to pirate the same way, so some other chump can pay my way. I don’t, but again, that’s the feeling.

(Oh and I know DLC may seem optional to the lesser inclined to investigate it, but I still supposit that DLC are bits of an incomplete game, and often required for the complete experience. The Brotherhood of Steel stuff reeks of that. It’s also optional whether anyone reads my posts or not too, and I’m just displaying my opinion around the Internet, because… who knows? I might actually get through to some people.)
