Fallout: Ranking Every Add-On From Worst To Best

Fallout 3's Broken Steel expansion adds something of an epilogue to the game's main questline, allowing players to see James' work on Project Purity come to fruition first-hand, as well as press on with the Brotherhood of Steel's campaign against the Enclave.

Although, the biggest selling point of Broken Steel is the fact that it allows players to continue their travels in the Capital Wasteland to their heart's content.

After all, one of the biggest problems of Fallout 3 is that the urgency of the main questline pokes a big logical hole in exploration, which is made worse by the fact that you can no longer play after the main story is completed (without reloading a previous save or starting a new game altogether.)

With Broken Steel installed, however, you're completely free to explore every corner of the map with absolutely nothing in your way. And with the level cap raised from 20 to 30, you even have some added incentive to do so.

Fallout 3 is undeniably a great game on its own, but if you play the entire thing without also giving Broken Steel a look, you'd be doing yourself a great disservice.
