I think the ending was sad in two ways (edited due to end of game spoilers - BSD)

but overall it was a great game, the AI wasnt perfect (and annoying sometimes) and I hate those kids in lamplight cavern.

btw. i wonder if uncle joe has to do with a quest or something?

Well I downloaded the working version of The Pitt on the 25th and I've got to say, its not bad, though its not incredibly memorable either. It has everything a game add on should have, a few new weapons, some clothing/armor, a fairly interesting storyline, and a few choices along the way. I had alot of fun playing but I was a little let down by it as well. It was good, but the developers didn't do anything new and it just didn't feel like I'd really accomplished anything at the end.

There wasn't much choice involved, there were basically two ways to finish the storyline, kill the leader of the raiders, or kill the leader of the slaves. The first way is siding with the slaves, if you do this you'll have to shut off the floodlights protecting the upper city where the raiders live, letting a bunch of the new mutants inside with them...you can go back to that district if you want but you're not likely to survive since there are tons of them there, I was killed within seconds of returning. That basically blocks you from finding/looting things in the uptown area unless you are incredibly good at fighting and have heaps of stimpacks. Then there's the option of siding with the raiders, which you have to kill the leader of the slaves...its not an interesting fight and then thats it, you're done if you choose that path. The quests leading up to either choice are simple and you'll fly through them if you've ever played this game.

There are a few side quests but they mostly pertain to finding things and if you have no interest in searching through a multi-level maze of old buildings and scaffolds, you probably won't care enough to do them. The npcs are pretty bland and the story contains no real surprises. You can travel back and forth between The Pitt and the main game but there isn't too much reason to do so, unless you just want to remember how you spent that ten dollars it costs for the download. You gain the ability to use the ammo press at The Pitt as a reward for completion but if you're like me and have already played for a little while you'll have practically no use for it, because you probably have more ammo than you know what to do with anyways.

The last thing that I thought was annoying was the amount of time Bethsoft said that it would take you to finish this. 4 to 5 hours was the quote from them and I figured they would be about right on the money, since it took me about as long as they estimated to beat their last DLC. Now I did everything there was to do here, even the collection quests where you have to go out and search for steel ingots spread out radomly guarded by packs of mutants and crazed survivors and I still got from the first quest all the way to the end within three hous. Thats not a large chunk of time for the money you have to pay for this. I even screwed off and walked around, absorbing everything there was to see, and still finished this in less than three hours.

After all those gripes, I still liked this add on. It was a decent waste of a few hours, but it wasn't many hours and if you download The Pitt you'll probably be able to finish it in one sitting. I thought it was good, just not worth the money. I'm planning on buying the next DLC as well, I just hope its a lot longer.
