Which is the best DLC for Fallout 3 other than Broken Steel?

I have already gotten Broken Steel for Fallout 3 and I am planning on getting Mothership Zeta in a few days but I want to know which DLC between Operation: Anchorage, The Pitt, and Point Lookout is the best.

Between these three which one is best based on added armor, weapons, quests, and playtime?Which is the best DLC for Fallout 3 other than Broken Steel?
A the moment I would have to say Point Lookout (although the armor from Operation: Anchorage is a godsend). Some new weapons are the Shovel, Axe, Double-Barreled Shotgun, Lever Action Rifle. Not much in the way of armor here though.



There are a large amount of quests. Two are pretty involved with multiple legs to the quest, but there's 5 or 6 side-quest types too.



Operation: Anchorage is heavy on combat but has very little dialogue and almost no item collection. Every enemy you kill is vaporized instantly. It's basically just shoot and kill chinese. You get some cool new weapons like the Railway Rifle, Trench Knife. Also, the best armor in the game: Winterized Combat Armor. Not only does it have more armor prot than any other, it never suffers wear and tear.



The Pitt is ok, has an interesting plot line at first but disappoints later on. I was annoyed with how it ended. It's very linear also. The only place to really explore is a steel yard, and an apartment complex. The characters are very shallow also... You get new weapons, the Double-Ax (mechanized axe)and the Infiltrator. Also you can get a cool looking Tribal Power Armor that has unrivaled stat bonuses.Which is the best DLC for Fallout 3 other than Broken Steel?
I would get point lookout. I haven't played Operation: Anchorage, but I heard it was more of a shooter than story. The Pitt was ok, but there's not a lot of added items. However, once you beat the main quest line you get access to the ammo press, which converts ammo and scrap metal into different ammo of your choosing. This is extremely useful if you use Lincoln's Repeater, for you can convert any ammo into the rare .44 magnum rounds.



In Point Lookout, there are lots of added weapons, including the double-barreled shotgun, lever-action rifle, axe, shovel, and more. The double barreled shotgun does about 80-85 damage at full health, but it only has one shot per reload. Some of the clothes include the confederate hat, tribal garb, and coveralls. There's even a pint sized slasher mask + knife like in tranquility lane but you can have it on anywhere. Besides, the added items, there are some pretty fun quests that can be kinda creepy at times, and the world is a lot more open than the other DLC's. Depending on how fast you go, it should add about 5-6 hours of gameplay.



If you have any more questions about the game I would go to the following address.

In terms of stealth/range weapons point lookout is definently lacking, you can get an awesome new world and fun new quests. But with anchorage you get a fancy Chinese armor that makes you invisible, in the Pitt you can get a silenced rifle but both lack the quality of point lookout
Point lookout is the 2nd best DLC, It is very open world much like the actual capital wasteland is and the quests are pretty cool and slightly freaky.
