The Mothership Has Landed

Here is an interesting way to conclude the reign of DLC for Fallout 3. Let's beam people onto an alien mothership that has crashed on the planet after tricking them into thinking there is a distress call emanating from it. Things get really exciting when they find out that they must to fight their way to the helm of the ship to secure it, their lives and an escape route. An interesting twist to things, but I think some of the features that are offered up are going to be the bigger selling point.

After being beamed aboard, players will get to add the alien technology to their arsenal of weapons. Also included are an array of new baddies to kill with said tech and new ways to team up to destroy the entire alien plot with unexpected characters. At least that is the gist of things gathered from the official list of features and screen shots that you can read and see below. Just sad that this is the final DLC planned as of now. But mind you the key words there are "as of now."

  • Find and exploit new and destructive alien technology like the Alien Atomizer and Drone Cannon.
  • Explore the vast Mothership and learn the secrets of the Aliens’ master plan.
  • Thwart the Aliens’ attempt to stop your escape, and take over the Alien ship before it wreaks havoc on the unsuspecting Earth below.
  • Fight against the Alien Invaders, their robot drones, and turn their own horrible experiments against them.
  • Ally yourself with an unexpected array of characters, both from the Capital Wasteland and from Earth’s past.
