Bethesda has set loose some brand new screens from its upcoming
Fallout 3 DLC for PC and Xbox 360,
The Pitt.
In a break from the grey and sepia tones of the main game,
The Pitt looks mostly orange!
The Pitt takes players to its namesake, Pittsburgh, where they get pulled into a conflict between slaves and their Raider masters. Bethesda describes the plot thusly: "
The Pitt opens with a desperate radio message, and a meeting with its sender, an escaped slave named Wernher. Wernher claims that the leader of “The Pitt” has created a cure for mutations… and he needs you to go in and retrieve it.
"From there, the player can proceed in a number of ways, in true
Fallout 3 style. Do you fight your way in, or disguise yourself as a slave? Ally with the slaves, or join their Raider overlords?
The Pitt is very morally ambiguous – there’s no real right or wrong, just choices to be made, sides to be chosen, and a mystery that could send shockwaves throughout the entire Wasteland."
The DLC features a new area, a new weapon - the AutoAxe, new sidequests and new perks and achievements.
Now have at those screens!
