Fresh on the heels of Fallout 3’s release, Bethesda Softworks is announcing the official editor for Fallout 3 – G.E.C.K. (Garden of Eden Creation Kit) – will be available for free download in December. G.E.C.K. will allow Games for Windows users to create and add their own content to the game.
Additionally, Bethesda will offer its first downloadable content – Operation: Anchorage – exclusively for both Xbox 360 and Games for Windows players in January, with more content to follow in February and March.
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.

Broken Steel is especially exciting to me. My main bitch with the game so far is the crippled way you have to continue to play after the main quest.
Also moving the game out of the D.C. area and into other locations might be cool. I wonder if they will do a post-apocalyptic Portland, Oregon. I could try and find all the old neighborhoods I used to live in. Maybe they could team up with Google Maps.
