📋 About This Mod
NOTE This is a placeholder about the plugin you can purchase. This is mainly for the community to share comments and their ratings about their experience with the plugin (NOT the purchasing process). DESCRIPTION Broken Steel: Continue your existing Fallout 3 game and finish the fight against the Enclave remnants alongside Liberty Prime. Broken Steel moves the level cap for your character from 20 to 30, allowing you to experience even more of the game, including new perks and achievements. STORY You may have dealt the Enclave a serious blow at Project Purity, but their forces are still out there, and still pose a grave threat to the people and security of the Capital Wasteland. In Broken Steel, you\'ll continue your current Fallout 3 character past the events of Project Purity, and work with the Brotherhood of Steel to eradicate the Enclave threat once and for all. Travel to new locations like the Olney Powerworks, wield destructive new weapons like the Tesla Cannon, and fight powerful new creatures like the Super Mutant Overlord. FEATURES Battle your way to level 30, with all new perks and achievements to unlock along the way! Acquire new high powered Enclave Technology, including a new devastating flamethrower, the Heavy Incinerator. Tougher foes await in life beyond level 20, including new enemies like the Super Mutant Overlord. Your decisions will inalterably affect the outcome of the Wasteland\'s survivors.
Broken Steel is an official Fallout 3 DLC that lets you continue your game after the main quest, raising the level cap from 20 to 30 and adding new content. It's for players who want to keep playing their character and finish the fight against the Enclave.
