Forging the Fail.

Oh snap! Two anti-Fallout3 rants in one day?! Well it seems Bethsoft has updated their blog with info on the last DLC for 360 and PC, Broken Steel.

"If we were to increase the level cap to 30, we first needed to figure out which factions we wanted to support the new cap."

That's nice and all, but how about balancing the game play such as the skill system and what not first.

"Super Mutants were one creature we knew we had to support. The decision was made to keep the Super Mutant Behemoth at the top, so we needed to fill the gap between the Behemoth and the Super Mutant Master. Thus was born the Super Mutant Overlord - a creature much stronger than a Super Mutant Master and one that is beginning to take on the shape and form of a Behemoth. Its posture is beginning to show signs of the Behemoth with its large, thick neck and slightly forward head. Given enough time, the Overlord would eventually grow to become a Behemoth."

Seems like a reasonable idea. No problems with that personally.

"To fill the gap for the Feral Ghouls we added the Feral Ghoul Reaver, which wears worn out armor, has special effects emitting from its body, and a new ranged attack, making it visually distinct from the normal Feral Ghouls as well as the Glowing One"

This is Bethspeak for "We slightly altered the Feral Ghoul Roamer. Gave it worn out metal armor instead of combat armor, and the ability to throw grenades." Such innovation Bethsoft, you guys are truly the greatest developer of all time.

"For the Rad Scorpion, we made the Albino Rad Scorpion - a formidable foe that roams the Wasteland, dealing out great amounts of damage, and is much more resistant to attacks than the Giant Rad Scorpion."

ZOMG HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!1111!1 OMFG ALBINO SKORPIONZ SO KEWL AND ORIGINL!!!!1111. So, you guys are going to slightly alter the appearance of the Giant Radscorpion? Talk about innovation!

"For the Enclave, we introduced a new elite fire-based ranged soldier who not only wears new fire-resistant armor, but also wields a new and powerful weapon, the Incinerator. The Incinerator is a powerful ranged fire attack that ignites its victims upon impact."

The armor looks cool. The weapon however, not so much. I have a feeling this is yet another god mod weapon.

"Can anyone explain why i should buy this useless, overpriced DLC with BoS that sounds like medival knights slaying dragons ?" Patton89, NMA forum regular.

Good questing. Considering the fact it's going to be 2 hours tops, easy, and overpriced half assed DLC from Bethsoft. And yes, the Brotherhood Knights do sound like a bunch of generic fantasy knight running around killing dragons.

Broken Steel drop May 5th.
