Feeling a little chatty tonight, PC.IGN has fired-up a quick Q&A with Bethesda Softworks' Jeff Gardiner regarding the upcoming DLC for their hit RPG, Fallout 3. The interview touches on three different DLC packs (Operation: Anchorage, The Pitt and Broken Steel), what new goodies each will offer and the pricing. Here's an interesting little bit on Operation: Anchorage, which is due out in January:
IGN: The liberation of Alaska was hinted at a lot during Fallout 3. What can we expect out of that simulated battle?
Jeff Gardiner: In Operation: Anchorage the player will find themselves able to re-live the famous liberation of Anchorage from Fallout lore -- inside a simulation similar to one found along the main quest of Fallout 3. Once the player finds their way into the simulation, they'll be stripped of their resources and have to survive within the rules set up by the simulation's creators.
The Chinese red army is everywhere, and the player will first have to secure the surrounding mountain side and then fight their way into the Chinese base. 21c2 The player will have to use a lot of their standard combat skills, along with several new tools that will only be available in the downloadable content. These include interactive Strike Teams under the player's command and unique armor, weapons, and other exotic gadgets.
