Broken Steel.

Broken Steel, which was slated to come out in March and will continue the main story and lift the level cap, is now due out in April. This was confirmed to GameSpot by Pete Hines, VP of Marketing for Bethesda.

-IGN

In this DLC pack, the player will join the ranks of the Brotherhood of Steel and rid the Capital Wasteland of the Enclave remnants once and for all. It is confirmed that the player character will still be the Lone Wanderer, even if the "sacrifice" option was taken at the end of Take it Back!.

In addition to amending the main quest to let players continue their adventures after the end of the main quest and raising the level cap to 30, Broken Steel's quest line is announced to be of the same length as the ones of Operation: Anchorage and The Pitt^[2].

The third DLC for Fallout 3 will add new enemies including high level ghouls, super mutants and Enclave soldiers. These will be equipped with new armor and weaponry which the player can acquire. Broken Steel will also add several new perks to cover the additional 10 levels as well as new encounters^[2].

Todd Howard released on January 30th that Broken Steel will have six achievements worth 150 points.

The Xbox Live Team states: 'In Broken Steel you must hunt down Enclave supporters in the Capital Wasteland.'

Release Date: September 30, 2009 BAAAWWWWW

Armor

Enclave Hellfire Armor (See new armor pic)

Weapons

The Heavy Incinerator

Apparently the Incinerator works like a kind of mortar, lobbing fire over its target in lazy arcs

The Tesla Cannon

The Tesla Cannon fires extremely powerful blasts of electricity, apparently capable of knocking aircraft out of the sky with one shot, balanced by a long reload time It is likened to Quakes Railgun ,vaporizing enemies in a puff of smoke on contact

The Tri-Beam Laser Rifle

The Tri-Beam Laser Rifle is an extremely powerful ranged laser shotgun

The Tri-Beam Laser Rifle is a ranged laser rifle shotgun with a possible knockback effect.

It could be considered a more powerful and accurate version of the Metal Blaster. Unlike the Metal Blaster however, each shot depletes 3 rounds of ammunition, allowing for 8 shots before the MF Cell is emptied.

The weapon has the appearance of a "sawed-off" laser rifle, missing the tube on the bottom length of the barrel and having a new emitter aperture and attached wires. It also has a black-green, darker tone than the standard laser rifle. I have'nt Found this gun yet,I do have the Metal Blaster though.

Callahan's Magnum

Callahan's Magnum is a unique Scoped .44 Magnum that surpasses the Black Hawk (the other unique Scoped .44 Magnum) in damage, damage per second and AP Cost.
Depending on equipment and perks, the weapon can fire 1-2 more shots in V.A.T.S than the Blackhawk.

The magnum is found in a safe within the ruins of the Citadel if you choose to destroy it while onboard the Enclave mobile base during the Who Dares Wins quest. If the Citadel is destroyed enter the remnants and in a hidden enclosed office is the Magnum.

The Violator

It got cut,here is a little info on what it might have been.

The Discharge Hammer is a weapon from Broken Steel that is listed in the G.E.C.K., but never used in game. It's a Super Sledge that does increased damage to robots.

Previews of Broken Steel mentioned Super Mutant Overlords using a weapon called The Violator that was never added to the released version. It's possible the Discharge Hammer was originally that weapon

Presion Gatlin Lazer

This Gatling Laser can be found during Who Dares Wins, the final quest in Broken Steel's main plot line, where you must assault the Enclave controlled Adams Air Force Base. When you get into the mobile platform search for the Armory (not the one on the level you first enter), there are two entrances: One leads through the Mainframe and the other through the main deck where the Deathclaws are stored. Near the entrance from the main deck you'll see an Enclave soldier, the Armory Master, wearing Tesla Armor and a special Recon Helmet called a Composite Recon Helmet. This soldier will be carrying the Precision Gatling Laser.

Olney Powerworks

Most likely it is an old power plant in the vicinity of (hence the name) defended by the Enclave forces where you have to go in order to find components for the Telsa Cannon in the middle of a Tesla Coil (Added a pic at the bottom)

It is possible to get all three karma achievements/trophies for each level in a single playthrough of the game, by saving the game just before you gain the level (at levels 7, 13, 19, and 20). Use one of the strategies below to change your character's alignment and level up, then reload the original save game. The achievement/trophy will stay on your account.

An easy way to do this is continue the game as an evil person save at levels 7, 13, 19 (has to be near leveling up) and then when you re-load you just keep donating caps to the church in the game until desired karma level (If you don't have enough caps to raise your karma enough just sell all your stuff since it's not your main character). Then do anything to level up (for 12 and 18 just use the Here and Now perk to instantly raise your level when you reach 13 or 19). You can use the caps method to elevate your karma and simply execute one high exp rivet city guard, like the one standing out front to push yourself over the leveling line.
If your karma is Good (or very good) and you're close to a level for the achievement, fast travel to Megaton and start a killing spree. Pick off Stockholm with the Sniper Rifle from behind the pile of rocks on your left as you face the gate. As soon as he is down,Lucas Simms and Deputy Steel will come through the gate.(Deputy Weld will be outside as usual) .You should be able to get the drop on Simms and pop him with the rifle before he can draw his weapon, leaving only the two droids to deal with. Go inside the gate and kill only as many citizens as necessary to drop your karma to neutral, then save the game, run out of town

Fighting at the Adams Air force Base

SPIOLER

Liberty Prime dies during your first mission.

The puppy perk is unlocked at lvl 22.

There are perks at level 24 to set your karma to neutral/bad/good.

Three dog has new dialog.

Sarah(that chick that helped you with the purifier)is still in a coma when you wake up.

There's a new devise that you get from a scribe,can't remember the name starts with a V,it makes all the Deathclaws controlled by the enclave allies.

There are new characters,called Rosa,and get ready for this water begger OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rosa is giving water to that guy,he deed now the water was supposed to be blessed or some crap by a guy in springfield.

Rosa is a black girl with sort hair and wheres a wasteland settler outfit.

Now he making me drink the death water I don't wanna.

Just gave me 10 rads

I supposed to get iraddiated,but thats optional so I'ma keel em.

The door is a 100 lock pick skill (Very Hard) but the guy has a key so it's up to you,whether or not you want the exp.

I hear preaching in side the "monastery" either they changed into ghouls or they where already ghouls but the people listening are ghouls.

So I'm done with the turn by turn stuff just going to give you the gist of it now.

If you have a decent speech skill [it's 43%]you can just do that.

Holy crap a ghoul just growled at me and started sniffing weird.

There are rivit city security guys getting water from the BoS

For completing the holy water quest you get 300 bottle caps and 110 exp.

Officer Lepelletier,she looks sort of goth,black hair black eyeliner or w/e that stuff is under the eyes,and black lips,well dark dark red.

Oh cool the water around the purifier doesn't give you rads.

The purified water in the basin is killing the mirlurks,so says a BoS guy.

You can either use speech to stop w/e his name is something jack Smiling I think,but if you do they kill the old lady at whillems wharf.

The feral Ghoul Reavers give you 6 rads when you get hit by them,theres like radiation fire coming off the pretty cool.

New encounters

Jury Street Metro Talon Company engaging a group of raiders. There are also raiders on roof of new building protecting stolen Aqua Pura Barrels.
Encounter west of Tenpenny Tower involving a water caravan approaching a non-hostile Raider disguised as a wastelander dying of thirst. When the caravan is close enough, the Raider becomes hostile, taking out a missile launcher and the caravan is ambushed by 4 more Raiders. The Brotherhood Knight kills all the raiders, but the merchant may die.
West of the Arlington Library, there is a new building in front of the Talon Company outpost. In the middle of an alley way, there is an abandoned Aqua Cura barrel. Upon approaching the barrel, Talon Company mercenaries ambush you.
Water caravans are seen traveling from Project Purity to Rivet City and vise-versa. The unnamed NPCs at Project Purety and Rivet City will respawn if killed by Super Mutants or the Enclave. Unfortunately, enemies will respawn as well.
Encounter a little north of Big Town involving 4 slavers ambushing water caravan. Slavers are non hostile towards the player.
Ever Green Mills now has empty Aqua Pura crates in the front of the entrance with a sign that says "Free Water." There are several raiders ready for an ambush on the cliff above.
In front of Megaton a group of residents are trying to take the rest of a water shipment from a caravan bound for Big Town. If left alone, the Megaton residents will pull guns and be destroyed in short order by the Brothers of Steel. As will Stockholm,Deputy Weld, and any other NPC in front of Megaton. A successful speech challenge will avoid the bloodshed and provide Good Karma.
On the street north-northeast of the Nuka Cola Plant there is a crate full of Aqua Pura barrels being fought over by Talon Company and a group of raiders.
Between Keelans Bed & Breakfast and VALP-58 Power Station three non-hostile, but not welcoming, female wastelanders wait around a small shack. On a table inside the shack is a Holotape labeled "Wastelander Holotape #1." This holotape details their roll in ambushing caravans.
Talon Company camp outside the Capitol Building in Seward Suare with 1 or more Talon Company mercenary depending upon the PCs level and a Holotape Talon Company Merc Log #1.
On the end of the catwalk in front of the Jefferson Memorial heading towards Rivet City the player may find a Brotherhood Initiate burning mirelurk corpses. If spoken to, the Initiate will inform the player that all of the mirelurks in the basin are suddenly dying and he has been given the task of burning the 'floaters'. This shows up regardless if the player has or hasn't decided to contaminate the water supply with the Enclave FEV canister during Take it back!. This only applies to the mirelurks in the tide pool.

I'll add more as I get further into the DLC.

Enclave Deathclaw under control by me.
