Try re-booting your console and if that doesnt work take it to a game shop to get it repaired.
(or it might not have loaded)
the broken steel expansion continues after the purifier final quest on the original game, you can level to 30 without completing the main questline.
u either download it or get a special edition fallout 3
Fallout 3, Fallout 3: Game of The Year Edition, Fallout 3: Broken Steel/Operation Anchorage/Mothership Zeta/The Pit/Point Lookout
You finish the normal campaign then it will kick in.
Fallout 3: Game of the Year edition is not a downloadable content. It is a re-realse of Fallout 3, rechristened after winning the Game of the Year award that must be purchsed just like Fallout 3 was (at a store, or via the internet). It includes all the Fallout 3 DLC: The Pitt, Operation Anchorage, Broken Steel, Point Lookout, and Mothership Zeta.
yes broken steel enables you to stay alive though normally you are put outside the purifier. I'm not sure why you are still in there though :/ possibly a glitch.
The game of the year edition has extra missions that are really neat and give you unique opportunities to get crazy weapons and armour, if you get the broken steel addon it will let you go to level 30
No it was released in the past, Broken Steel is one of the 5 DLC parks for Fallout 3 that were included in the Game of the Year Edition that was released on October 13 2009.
you have to sacrafice Sarah from the brotherhood(you have to do the main story line) to go into purifier and you will get knocked out it will look like the game is ending but its not you will wake up two weeks later and you will be talking to Elder Lyons
I'm pretty sure it all depends on if you have Broken-Steel downloaded. If you don't, ignore this. I thought that they just ended up in the room you were in after the purifier was activated when Lyons wakes you up.
Broken steel is now out, and is available for download on xbox live, or can be purchased with the "game of the year" edition of fallout 3, which also includes "the pitt," "operation anchorage," "point lookout," and "mothership zeta." Current retail price, as of october 20, is $59.99
Broken Steel is avaliable on disc for Xbox360 & PC in the Fallout 3 Game Add-On Pack #@ (along with Point Lookout) and is also comes with the Game Of The Year Edition on disk.
