You buy it, then you install it. It comes with all five expansion packs.

Mothership Zeta
Point Lookout

yes.
Yes
no even if you install the goty edition of fallout the disc will still be needed to play them.
Mothership Zeta is not coming out on CD, however, it will be packaged with the Fallout 3 GOTY edition which comes out in the fall of 2009. The GOTY edition will include Fallout 3 and all DLC in one package.
The Fallout 3 GOTY edition is basically the normal edition with the downloadable content. I'm pretty sure you have the option to omit and add DLC's, so you should be able to add the extra content with the installer, that is as long as both your version and the GOTY versions are the same (not 100% sure about this). You can patch the game after all is installed and it should work fine.
No the GOTY Edition includes them. Here's a quote from related link "The Game of the Year Edition, which includes the original Fallout 3 game as well as all 5 of the downloadable content packs, was released on October 13, 2009 in North America and October 16, 2009 in Europe"
To get to operation anchorage by finding the outcast outpost on your map, adding your marker to it and walking there. You also have to talk to the people inside the outpost to get into it officially. (if you dont have the anchorage mod none of this will work.)
Fallout 3 GOTY Edition takes up about 8GB. While Fallout 3 itself is about 6GB. I suggest you have at least ~20GB free on your HDD at all times. Otherwise your overall computer performance will take a very heavy hit.
Tribunal and Bloodmoon won't work for Game of the Year (GOTY) Morrowind because these expansions are designed to be integrated into the base game, and if the GOTY edition is installed, the expansions are already included in the package. Additionally, attempting to install them separately can lead to conflicts or issues with game files, as the GOTY edition has specific updates and changes that the standalone expansions may not align with. Thus, using the expansions separately is unnecessary and potentially problematic.
no it does not
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. It's made by the same developer as fallout (Bethesda) but in a fantasy setting, other than the lack of guns it has very similar gameplay mechanics, plus you can pick up the GoTY edition for about £14.99 pre-owned nowadays.
If you're unable to play the Fallout 3 Game of the Year (GOTY) expansions, it could be due to compatibility issues with your gaming platform or system requirements not being met. Additionally, if you're using a modded version of the game or playing on a non-supported platform, that may also restrict access to the expansions. Checking for updates or reinstalling the game may help resolve these issues. Lastly, ensure that you have correctly installed the expansions if they are separate downloads.
