I saw the rating and I know it's not that bad. Hell, I have yet to find one bug in it. I think this just got rated down because people's mods weren't updated and were conflicting with this. How the hell is that Bethesda's fault?
Despite the shortfalls that this addon encountered when it was first launched, it's actually pretty good once you can get it running. I'm glad it allows you to finally continue through the main storyline and so forth. Better than Op Anchorage and The Pitt. Well anything's better than Op Anchorage. That dlc was almost garbage based on linear it is.
Note that patch 1.5 and Broken Steel are not the same thing, you don't need patch 1.5, just get a fake patch.
I thought this was good, apart from the fact that I used some damn "Play after MQ" mod that finished the "Take it Back!" quest so I had to go through sooo much trouble to actually play it, I'm not dragging the DLC down for this though.
My biggest problem with this is that they didn't add a new Tesla Armor, seriously, I've never taken that off for nearly 40 hours of gametime, I want something new damnit!
And I was also hoping that the "Enclave City" would actually be a futuristic "Vault City"-style city, not some crappy post-apocalyptic air base.
Don't know if anyone else has had this, but I am getting crashes, errors and AI execution failures across the entire questline, the moment I activate any ESM other than a DLC.
Costumer Services in Bethesda is about as civilized as an ENCLAVE 'OFFICER'. One of them even, said to STOP USING MODS period.
After Oblivion, all of Bethesda's Softwares are "Discount bin material"
Good but with all my mods this is the DLC that broke my camels back or so to say. Biggest thing is the conflict with FOOK, although not game crippling, just odd. Like Enclave Troops with combat armor and power armor helmets. Strangest of all Super Mutants holding Mini-guns with one hand, like a pistol. So really my complaints are minimal.
This DLC is full of bugs, lots and lots of game crippling bugs. I've experienced a good 3 myself all ready. Had to remove a few mods, and do a lot of work arounds to play it. It really is a bad excuse for additional content, really these kinds of things should be taken care of before release, so the community doesn't have to deal with them and fix it themselves. With the stuff the DLCs put into the game I'm thinking I might have been better off with out it honestly.
if we take -0.25 rating over every bug the score is 2.5 and add +0.25 upon every addon (6 Quests and 4 Custom items plus An hour of voice acting) the score is 6. and if we also add +0.25 over level cap, ending remove, perks and possible ending cosequences the final score is 7.

Loved Broken Steel, had no problems with it, although the ending seemed a bit abrupt with no real sense of reward, the tesla cannon was nice though.
