Yeah, when you get your villians "up, close and personal"!, or when you are just near your enemy!

Anyone tried the new Fallout 3 addon already?

Not yet. Was hoping that someone tried it out so we will know how good it is.

Ooh I tried that with my bro yesterday. It was a VR mission where it takes the player to Alaska and the player is assigned to help the America's army to liberate the place from the Chinese invasion.

Typically it's good - there's no stimpaks or whatever whatsoever, so you might could blind-fight your way out without much planning since the health and ammunition refill stations in checkpoints are totally unlimited.

But the ending ... it's too abrupt. Can't tell you the rest of the story tho.

Oh! You tried it already?

How long does it last? And do you start with your current character, or someone new?

Well, 3-4 hours of gameplay. I started with the character which is already level 17 (going to finish the main plot already anyway) - a wee bit too easy for the new addon. Completing the mission will earn you new stuff and weapons (can't expose too much of the spoilers!). The power suit from the mission is not that useful anymore since I have the Tesla armor in my hands which has more stat upgrades.

I guess this addon is meant for those people who are in the middle of playing the whole game - where he/she haven't ever obtained any power suit access yet (but with training).

But I found the Chinese soldiers, when they speak, they have weird Chinese accent. I guess the voice actors isn't Chinese. Heck, I can speak better than them, even without my Mandarin lessons!

I like to use combat shotgun and go upclose and personal with the mutants... Well, shotgun doesn't work from distance.

Crashed again... updated driver already. I just noticed that (not a coincidence I supposed), it almost always happen when I am going to meet a group of merc. I go near.. then poof... crash. That's why I have to restart and go a different route the next time around.

Updated Fallout 3 yet?

Nope. Started it up again and waited for 7 hours and went another way.
