I enjoyed some of the FO 3 DLC. Operation Anchorage really appealed to me as an insight into the universe's history (and was great lead-up to Liberty Prime's Eagleland awesomeness). Mothership Zeta was fairly repetative as a pure dungeon crawl, but had some fun moments (mostly only if you were an energy weapons specialist, though). The Pitt was probably the most interesting addition to the setting, and gave me the first impression that somebody out there besides the Enclave was trying to rebuild society. Didn't play Point Lookout, and I lost interest in Broken Steel shortly after playing through the fixed original game ending.

I just hope they let Obsidian do their own DLC, instead of trying to tack on Bethesda's hit-or-miss record.

I liked Anchorage - being dropped into an absolutely unfamiliar setting as a clean slate is very refreshing, plus there's that Game-Breaker Winterized power armor that had no need in getting fixed thanks to a quite awesome bug. Broken Steel was okay. Point Lookout had a distinct atmosphere, which was also pretty cool, but I didn't finish it because I watched an entire playthrough of it before that for some reason. I found The Pitt and Zeta to be largely boring, though the new weapons in the latter were pretty fun. Who doesn't have energy weapons maxed out at level 20, anyway?

I'm not sure Bethesda are even able to work on any DLC for New Vegas. I think they're busy with making TES V - most likely with a tweaked version of Gamebryo, sadly. Obsidian are left to their own devices, I guess?

@Tibetan Fox: Uh, blame GFWL? Everyone knows it sucks, no need to blame the game itself. Steam was actually accepted pretty well as an alternative to it in New Vegas, even though the general public doesn't trust it too much.

Eh, The Pitt, Broken Steel and Point Lookout were the only good ones for me. The others had some fun moments and good loot, but the former had all of that and more.

@Litis. I bought the game on goddamn Steam.

OK, here's the thing. When I bought Fallout 3, I hadn't signed up for GFWL. But when I bought Section8 I had to sign up in order to play the damn thing. So it seems that now I do have a GFWL account, I can say goodbye to all those local save games.

Face Palm. For once I'm glad for my Alt Itis.

Fallout 3 big times. It had flaws, true, but really, my main complaint about it it's that it's not Fallout-y enough. Oblivion? ...don't even get me started.
