So I got Broken Steel

For comparisson I'm spoiling the original ending and the changes in the expansion, if you dont want it ruined do not read on.

They changed the ending so it actually makes sense. On my playthrough I used Charon, he gave me some lip but "This contract says your doing it". The ending also added images based on the side quests you completed which was nice, the narrator still bad mouthed me for not sacrificing myself. After that you continue the game and help fight the enclave. You also get to see the result of project purity, as a note the modified FEV virus WILL hurt you.

The game also throws out some new NPC enemies, and some new weapons. The most over powered being the Tesla Cannon. Its a big gun that deals nearly as much damage as a missle, area of effect spillage, and for a few seconds after it deals electic damage. But thats not what makes it over powered. What makes it over powered is the fact this powerful shots ammo is one electron charge pack. Which is what you have thousands of for your gattling laser and costs one cap.

Though the biggest let down with this expansion, the new perks. Most of which are worthless, especially considering these are perks for 22+ such as deep sleep and radtolerance, to only useful for certain characters like warmonger or quantum chemist. PUPPIES! was nice though. As when dogmeat dies he is reborn with increased health. The level 30 ones are awesome. One makes all you SPECIAL stats 9, the other causes you to erupt in a nuclear explosion when you are down to your last 20hp.

As a final bonus, in the end you can turn on the brotherhood and destroy the Citidel. There is also a place to find another alien blaster and more ammo for it, that Charon found for me, no idea how that happened. Added main mission adds 5-10 hours if you are as thurough as me. With some extra side quests. Plus the extra levels and not-retarded ending made worth the ten bucks
