Broken Steel is an interesting experience, as once again it reflects the unintended design philosophy that had infiltrated itself throughout Fallout 3 - great ideas, hampered by poor implementation.

The gameplay and mission structure is a little more involved than the previous two dlc, and that was a much appreciated addition, fleshing out this Brotherhood of Steel somewhat. The problem is that the Enclave, the villains of both this DLC and the main game, are so underutilized, especially when comparing their prior incarnation in Fallout 2. This edition of the Enclave has nearly no depth, and that is super disappointing.
Overall, the gameplay and questline was enjoyable, but the story implications were near non-existant, and the bullet-sponge enemies that were added to this DLC overall made exploring the open world at higher levels a slog that is entirely unenjoyable.
