Later this month, Bethesda Softworks plans to release the first of three planned downloadable expansions to their post-apocalyptic RPG Fallout 3. Today the publisher released some new screenshots from the DLC, Operation Anchorage, showing off more of the mission that your player character experiences in hologram form in the game. A specific release date for the expansion has yet to be revealed by the publisher but PC owners will have to pay $9.99 to download it. In related news, Eurogamer has posted an interview with the lead Producer of Fallout 3's DLC, Jeff Gardiner:
Eurogamer: The 800 Microsoft Points price point is often challenged by gamers - look at the Gears 2 Combustible Map Pack, for instance - and you have some experience with pricing issues. How's the reaction been so far? Are you still comfortable with it?
Jeff Gardiner: We're offering several hours of unique gameplay - along with a bevy of armor and weaponry the player can use throughout the entire main game of Fallout 3. Reaction has been very positive.
Eurogamer: With G.E.C.K. (good name, by the way!) now out and about, will PC gamers be able to take advantage of the Op Anchorage and other DLC assets when they come out?
Jeff Gardiner: Yes, you can use content in the DLC to create new plugins and mods, but anyone who wants to use those plugins/mods will have to have bought the DLC and have it installed.
