yes, you must download the "Broken Steel" add-on for the game. you will then continue your journey and be able to do quest you previously didn't have time for before.
No, they help a bit with some of the back story and give some basis for the environment in fallout 3, but the story lines are very separate. Not to mention the gameplay is very different (top-down 2d rpg on a rather old engine) and possibly not attractive to the same audience as fallout 3.
I recommend Fallout 4
no
Fallout 3 can be played on the PlayStation 3, the XBox 360, and the PC.
You do not need Xbox Live to play any of the Fallout 3 add ons.
No, When you complete both Fallout 3 or Fallout New Vegas you are not able to free roam the wasteland.
In my opinion Fallout New Vegas is. In Fallout NV it is easier to make caps so you can buy better wepons and ammo. In Fallout 3 It's hard to make a lot of caps in the begining making it a slow start. But is you want to test your skills play Fallout 3.
There is no possible way to play Fallout 3 on the iPad. The processor and graphics card couldn't support it.
Fallout 3 a Long Game?It really matters what you call "long." Fallout 3 has more than 60 hours of game play, which does not include exploring and side quests.The main story line, depending on your difficulty setting and skill, should take you less than a few days to completeIt can be long if you download DLC's! ;)
It is not an expansion pack for Fallout 3! Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 3 are separate titles. As for how to acquire it, you can purchase it almost anywhere retail video-games are sold.
No, there will not be any competitive multiplayer for Fallout 3. It is only single player.
