Fallout 3: Mothership Zeta

Game Info

Defy hostile alien abductors and fight your way off of the massive Mothership Zeta, orbiting Earth miles above the Capital Wasteland. Mothership Zeta takes Fallout 3 in an entirely new direction – outer space. Meet new characters and join with them in a desperate bid to escape the Aliens’ clutches. To do so, you’ll wield powerful new weapons, like the Alien Atomizer, Alien Disintegrator, and Drone Cannon, and deck yourself out in brand new outfits, like the Gemini-Era Spacesuit and even Samurai Armor.

An alright DLC for Fallout 3, I pin it as the weakest of the whole bunch but there is still some fun to be had.
Positives -
. Space premise is incredibly cool and in theory just sounds and seems awesome!
. Being able to team up and work with people from different time periods in which they are captured is intriguing and thematically great
. Weapons are all very fun to use (fun for FO3 atleast) and all other sorts of loot are very worthwhile!
. Story Building is done incredibly well
Negatives -
. Linear DLC. Basically no exploration or side objectives, can be completed in less than an hour if you know what you're doing.
. That whole part about different people from different time periods is thrown out the window when one of the characters from an older period dies without speaking a word and another can't even understand English and is used as a one-off gag character
. No reason to return to the ship and very little replayability
Overall -
I can't help but enjoy this DLC, and even with its flaws I believe it's worth going through at least once. It could have been done so much better and the premise was wasted with MZ. But it's still enjoyable and a great DLC for FO3
