BIG NEWS! SDK date announced!

Bethesda Softworks, a ZeniMax Media company, today announced plans to make both its editor and downloadable content available for its award-winning game, Fallout 3 in the coming weeks. The official editor for Fallout 3, called the G.E.C.K. (Garden of Eden Creation Kit), will be available for free download in December and will allow Games for Windows users to create and add their own content to the game. In addition, the first official downloadable content, Operation: Anchorage, will be available exclusively for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and Games for Windows in January, and more downloadable content coming in February and March.

“We’ve always seen the original world of Fallout 3 as a foundation for even more content. Some created by us, and a lot more created by users,” said Todd Howard, game director for Fallout 3. “It’s fun to create your own character, but it can be equally fun to create your own adventures. We can’t wait to see what the community does with the G.E.C.K.”

The release of the G.E.C.K. provides the community with tools that will allow players to expand the game any way they wish. Users can create, modify, and edit any data for use with Fallout 3, from building landscapes, towns, and locations to writing dialogue, creating characters, weapons, creatures, and more.

Three downloadable content packs will be coming to Xbox 360 and Games for Windows Live starting in January that will add new quests, items, and content to Fallout 3.

# Operation: Anchorage: Enter a military simulation and fight in one of the greatest battles of the Fallout universe – the liberation of Anchorage, Alaska from its Chinese Communist invaders. An action-packed battle scheduled for release in January.

# The Pitt: Journey to the industrial raider town called The Pitt, located in the remains of Pittsburgh. Choose your side. Scheduled for release in February.

# Broken Steel: Join the ranks of the Brotherhood of Steel and rid the Capital Wasteland of the Enclave remnants once and for all. Continues the adventure past the main quest. Scheduled for release in March.

There are some serious modders here and other sites that will be able to do some serious fixing to the turd that is F3. Too bad Beth still gets all the cheese

I can't wait! Once they start adding back some of the classic weapons Ill be truly happy. They referring to the modders.

All I really want are a few things:
Farms- The old classic style of hard scrabble farm with a few brahmin. Populate the farms around the D.C area with the hardy folk we saw so often in Fallout 2.

More weapons- This is basically self explanatory. So many weapons are missing from the first 2 games its not funny.

Trees- There are trees in fallout. Lots of mutated plants which frankly don't look to good but they survive. Which if I remember there were soft fruit trees in the west.

Humor- I miss the goofy off the wall dialogue from the first two games. There isn't much holding back people from adding in new characters with a SDK. Frankly people could rewrite the charater dialogues in the game with richer examples of the things they already are saying. Sometimes the dialogue is like talking to a robot which is programmed with 3 or 4 responses.

Overall all Id like to see is the landmass used a bit better. When we find a slum under a bridge where a person is obviously living, then put a person there, or at least wandering around. Populate the farms a bit. Add some more life to the waste in general. Make crafting far more deep. Junk weapons would be nice. Repair kits made from salvaged components so I dont need to haul weapons around hehe.

Great game, just a few shades short of a whole deck. Lets deal some aces shall we

So, if Beth deliver with this kit and we can mod to our hearts content, does that mean we'll be able to get Fawlkes to go into the chamber in the final part of the main quest?
