Mothership Zeta interview at OXM

From The Vault

Jeff Gardiner

OXM UK has interviewed Jeff Gardiner about the upcoming Mothership Zeta Fallout 3 add-on.

So when and where does Zeta fit into the events of Fallout 3? How will players discover the Mothership?
As with the previous DLC, there will be a radio broadcast... this one is unintelligible, however, and will lead the player to the alien crash site they may have already found in Fallout 3. The player will then find themselves aboard Mothership Zeta, in Earth's orbit. Let's just say it won't be the friendliest of greetings. From there, they'll meet other abductees, and plot their escape. They'll have to explore and exploit the alien ship- and even spacewalk to escape!
We've already seen the Alien Blaster in Fallout 3 - will there be new technology for gamers to play with?
Most definitely. The player will have a handful of tasty alien technologies to play with. There are new fire arms and melee weapons, which will comprise the most powerful weaponry in the game.

    I think,that they will do a huge expansion more late in the year,or in 2010.Who knows?

    Ausir 01:47, July 10, 2009

    I don't think they will. Bethesda will likely focus on TES5, while Fallout fans will get New Vegas.

    right i think i might have figured out the mothership zeta plot first all you now the crashed recon craft zeta well my theory is that the dead alien was tyring to warn humanity of an impending attack from the alien and got shot down by his kin.or you know the way nobody knows who started the great war the aliens could have shot the first missiles at china and the united states causing each other to go to war maybe this was the aliens plan to wipe the earth clean of humanity so they could conolise the earth just my guess well we will have to wait and see.


  • [Thecreatorofeire]
    Thecreatorofeire 04:31, July 10, 2009

    maybe the aliens started the great war by firing advanced alien nuclear missiles from space and the bombs then hit America and china at the same time causing each nation to defend itself by launching their nukes.This might be the aliens plan to cause humanity to wipe itself out so they could colnolise the planet.

    Anonymous user 07:11, July 10, 2009

    I also have a gut feeling that this will NOT be the last official DLC. I bet the creative heads at Bethesda have plenty of ideas and if they feel they can keep milking the cow ... they will.

    Who knows ... with the tendency to release games as DL without expensive DVD sales structure and storage and New Vegas being based on the very same game engine as FO3 they might make New Vegas a really large standalone DLC for us console players.


  • [38.107.191.89]
    Anonymous user 08:06, July 10, 2009

    my ONLY problem is this.

    "You can start the DLC straight out of Vault 101, just like O;A, The Pitt, etc"

    "comprised of the best weapons in the game"

    Anyone see the problem here?

    Straight out of vault 101, get the best weapons ingame.

    Thats kind of lame :/

    there needs to be a level requirement before the aliens actually pick you up.


  • [Porter21]
    Porter21 09:00, July 10, 2009

    You can go to Point Lookout straight out of Vault 101 as well, I doubt it'll be a pleasant experience though.

    New Vegas will not be a DLC.


  • [Thecreatorofeire]
    Thecreatorofeire 13:01, July 10, 2009

    It would be cool if they made 1 or 2 dlc the first 1 should be set about going to the institute in the commonwealth and free the androids up there or something or get your own android bodyguard.If they ever make an expansion it should be set in California and about the lone wander traveling there and upon arrival sees how better off he/she was in the capital wasteland and upon arrival is captured by the western-coast bos who think your a spy or something that would be cool.


  • [XFury745]

    if theres a mother ship cant there be more planets with more aliens,this is probable; we should be able to steal the ship and go to there planet. i hope there is more DLC and they read this and think off my idea. also, mabey the mother ship that you fight agenst is just an evil part of the alien socity and this planet will be friendly....and not a wastand!!!! GODi want more trees!!!!

    Level Requirements=Bad Who wants to pay for DLC, then start a new file and be unable to play it?

    And also, I believe that the alien just wrecked, and wasn't trying to warn anyone, probably checking out what humans were doing.

    Better than being lvl 1 and getting the best weapons in the game.

    Marion.

    Its that or at lvl 1, getting access to the best weapons.

    Theres nothing wrong with a level requirement, being you shouldn't be in that content untill later anyway.

    Anonymous user 04:35, July 11, 2009

    besides only tottal noobs would get the best weapons in the game and then use all the ammo granted it will probly have a limited amount. Seriosly noobs will probly get the weapons and go on very easy and say they rock.


  • [38.107.191.89]
    Anonymous user 09:01, July 11, 2009

    I reckon there wont be a level requirement but still, they'll have to do something about the fact that a noob could get the best weapons in the game, they could surround it with a fence with an average lock (or hard) and surround it with mysterious technologgicaly superior enemies, maybe the commonwealth?

    Who knows

    "Other abductees". Am I the only one here who thinks the Enclave might have something to do with this? Could this be the reason for the Colonel's conspicuous absence from Broken Steel?

    Bethesda is silly for calling this the last add-on. So many users are GECK'ing mods for the PC version that it is insane to think that Bethesda couldn't swoop in, take the ones they like and release them on consoles with minimal effort and maximum profit.

    Good idea. Anyways didn't the alien come to check out the unusual radiation levels around earth and maybe collided with something or was killed by radiation or ship malfunctioned, he set off a distress beacon to bring in the others to help, maybe the enclave shot him down.... Anyway so excited!!!!

    Hmmm,lets rip it up a little


    • The enclave had access to an alien blaster and some seriously advanced technology at raven rock,theres no way the enclave could normally produce THAT many weaponsa nd armors,so something must have been done.
    • The colonel disappeared in BS,its a cliché in some alien films that a leader (Usually a colonel or a general) is abducted,so we might get to meet him.
    • If there WILL be the most powerful weaponry in the game there,they betetr pull a PL and make it for level 20+ players,so you can't waste the game.

    Responses to some ignorance: Anyone who thinks that getting best weapons in the game right after leaving the vault by using this DLC is easy, think again. Hmm, fighting alien with a 10mm pistol while they use alien blasters? Stupendously difficult.

    Also, the alien crash site is a recon ship. RECON! Not a starter for the assault on Earth. Recon Craft Theta was meant to go and scout the planet before they decided if they would land/fight or not.

    No-ones pointing out the fact that you can start fallout with An alien blaster, and all the gear from anchorage anyway. If folk want to make the game easier, its already very simple to do.

    Iv started with those weapons, and 3 followers before even tackling any proper missions. And if i dont want it to be too easy i leave my foloowers and decent weapons at my megatonne home. Done the deathclaw sanctuary and Old olney with and without followers. And anyway, if you have high enough sneak and the chinese stealth armour you can play most of this game without even being spotted.

    Its as easy, or as difficult as you want it to be.

    The reason why the colonel is absent from BS is because you kill him at the end of "take it back". no alien abductions are involved!

    To be honest the ship is new and you can explore it like point lookout and the pit but there hopefully will be respawning aliens in the ship so you can kepp shooting them that way the fun will never end also you will then be able to get plenty of the ammo to keep them running.


  • [38.107.191.89]

    Oh and theyl hopefully be a vendor on the ship so you still can buy some but not much of the alien cells
