Bethesda Softworks has already released two downloadable expansions for their hit post-apocalypse RPG game Fallout 3. A third expansion is due sometime in April. However it looks like fans of the game can expect even more DLC in the future, according to what was mentioned at a GDC panel this week.

According to Shacknews, the game's lead designer lead designer Emil Pagliarulo stated during the panel, "I can say we're working on lots of DLC. Lots of stuff brewing up here. God only knows where that may go. What famous landmarks can we destroy next?" The first two expansions took players to Anchorage, Alaska (via a holo-mission) and Pittsburgh. The third expansion, Broken Steel, reportedly will extend the game's main storyline beyond its ending.

If it made him able to fight the tougher enemies, that might be a good purchase, but since I'm on PC, I can just type in a few commands to make him immortal, lol. I hope they give us some expansions with a bit more substance, Operation: Anchorage and The Pitt are great, but I can burn through them in an evening.Posted at 1:32PM on Mar 28th 2009 by Brisco County

Maybe we'll get to pay a visit to the Institute.Posted at 2:28PM on Mar 28th 2009 by Crunch Jingles

I've played Anchorage and The Pitt now and must say I was dissapointed with both. Anchorage was just silly (won't go into detail but the plot was lame) and just when I started getting into The Pitt it was over. Both were too short to be worth it, and I would much rather pay for retail upgrades (like with Morrowind/Oblivion) that have a worthwhile storyline than this bunk.Posted at 8:00PM on Mar 29th 2009 by Bystander

Something akin to Shivering Isles would be good....a big Expansion Pack that takes you to the Commonwealth, or perhaps to Ronto...

Just something big and meaty that is maybe half the length of the main quest...or 3/4's maybe..Posted at 1:07AM on Mar 30th 2009 by CloneTro0per
