I have a question for any FO3 players out there- I have completed the main quest, I have only downloaded the Broken Steel DLC, right now Im doing missions for Elder Lyons and Paladin Tristin in Washington where the satelites are? My question is- is this continuiing on Broken Steel or are these side missions I may have missed? May be a dumb question but a question noneoftheless.

I've done all the side missions in FO3, without DLC, and I don't recall any satellites in Washington. Come to think of it, any missions you get from the Brotherhood should be main story missions only, again that's without DLC. Now, it's been a while, so I'm not 100%, but I am about 75% certain.

Thanks Monkey! Im going try to figure it out today once I beat this last mission.

do you mean the satelite dish on the washington monument?

Im not sure if it was the actually Washington Monument, but the mission was called "Shock Wave" I just completed this one and now I have to find a flight platform of sorts, havent been home to complete yet, but Ill give more information once I do. Thanks.

Welcome Darling.

Thanks guys for all your help, I figured out where I am now. Im on Broken Steel, continuiing new missions for the Brother Hood of Steele, this game is awesome. So many hours of game time its not even funny.
Two words- Tesla Cannon FTW!

ohmigawd
you haz.
TEH TESLA CANNON?!
omg
so so jealous

my daddo wont let me get the DLC
because hes like
'WHY THE BLOODY HELL SHOULD I?! its not my game, pay for it yourself'
and when i was going to
HE SPENT MY MONEY ON HAMBURGERS
and
WITHOUT TELLING ME!!!!

but damn.. those were yummy hamburgers

Gotta love the Tesla Cannon. I completely gave up on the rest of my arsenal and just sold it all once I got that baby

Broken Steel has some intense missions. The final one has you fight through HUGE amounts of Enclave by yourself, and then make a final decision that blew my mind (not going to give spoilers, though )

I'm trying to decide which DLC I'm going to buy next. Anyone have suggestions?

Yo Charlie!
Yeah, totally agree on the Tesla Cannon, havent tried any other weapon since! lol
Dude, I totally beat the Broken Steele DLC and I immediately purchased the MotherShip Zeta and Point Lookout Add-ons, havent tried the latter but the Zeta is freakin' cool! Aliens, alien weapons, bad ass space ship and crazy ass characters makes this DLS a win!

I might have to take your word for it I watched some previews for all the DLC and thought that Zeta would be awesome! Point Lookout and The Pitt look pretty crazy (like so much of the Fallout world ), and Operation: Anchorage... well, it'll probably be the last one I get

Yeah, I should complete Zeta soon, then Ill try Point Lookout and report back here
Afterwards Im going to purchase Anchorage

ah.
i feel so left out. LOL

my character is like.. a reaaallllyy young and weak chuck norris
aha
my fav weapon has gotta be the combat shotty

I've gotten the new content, but still haven't played any of it. I'd just played through recently before I got it and since have just gotten one game after another. MW2, Batman, Crisis Core, Dissidia, Borderlands, others... Gotta love the holiday season. lol
It's good to hear that the new stuff is worth the price of admission though. Looking forward to finally sitting down with it.

Dude- ass-raping a shitload of aliens on they're own turf=FTW
Trust me, its worth every penny!

You did what to the aliens?

are they like.. green.. with massive eyes?
or are they like.. those weird things from Doom

i reaalllyy wanna go get the DLC now =\

Have you tried in the upper left hand corner of the map for the satellites? 3 are 3 there. I am on Point Lookout. My game keeps freezing. My suggestion to all who get the DLC's - save often!!!

My game would freeze often once I got a good ways into it even before DLC. It helps to not leave stuff lying around that it has to keep up with. Eg, discarded weapons, unlooted corpses, etc. Oh, and try not to have too many quests going at one time. This will cut back significantly on the freezing.

Bethesda games have always had this problem. They try to patch it but there is always so much going on in those games that it's hard to stop the freezing.

True. I learned those tricks from Morrowind and Oblivion.

i save like... every 10 or so minutes
cuz my game usually freezes epically when im in VATS
=\
stoopid
and then like 5 minutes later, im dead.. cuz it unfroze.. and i somehow died
so i just.. spam everyone with grenades.
lmao
last time i had 56 frags xD
ahaha

oh that was fun

im attempting to do as many quests as possible.. cuz yeaahh
and it took me a year before i actually finished th main quest.
because all i do is walk around randomly, then go into the villages and scab as much crap as i can

My game tends to freeze whenever I just finished a quest and I open up my Pip-Boy... so lets just say I save before I finish a quest and wait a long time before I look at my arm

I finished all the main/side quests now, but I don't have enough patience to go to every single location and do all there is to do. So I'm working on getting the rest of the trophies, and I'm going to get the DLC and then completioness will be mine
