Fallout 3 Ambience: Bridge to the Pitt

[@Tom_The_Cat]

It's nice to see that Pittsburgh got through the war relatively unscathed

[@-CrimsoN-]

The Pitt is easily my favorite DLC from Fallout 3. Thanks for making this! The groaning of the steel and the faint sounds of industry in the background gives me this weird tingly feeling.

[@evanboyer5928]

somebody hasn't played Point Lookout

[@-CrimsoN-]

@@evanboyer5928 Yeah I have. Doesn't hit the same way as The Pitt. I've played all the Fallout 3 and NV DLC.

[@Jendacake]

Honestly the fact that you’re all alone in a steel mill trying to find ingots surrounded by mutated crawler type creatures that can pop up at any moment is why I love the Pitt so much. It almost feels like a stand alone Indy game. It gives off horror vibes that make fallout so great.

[@Jendacake]

I awkward find myself coming back to fallout 3 for this dlc. There’s something so compelling about it. I wish that the newer fallouts could have this type of amazing world building and lore

[@MrSn4rk]

@@Jendacake there's gonna be The Pitt in Fallout 76. But in Fallout 3 it's 200 years later. The BoS said that before they raided the place, it was even worse. We're probably going to see this hellish version, since Fallout 76 takes place 200 years before Fallout 3

[@MissysWasteland]

I use this when my anxiety hits. Make me feel alone and comfortable.

[@cann0708]

The Pitt, Dead Money, Lonesome Road and Far Harbour are my favourite fallout DLCs and I can't imagine playing any of the games without these installed now

[@ThreeDog69420]

The pitt, LR, broken steel, and fallout 76 are a go to

[@NotRemmyCormo]

Man, I wish we could've explored more of the city.

[@Amber-753]

Bethesda squandered The Pit's potential as a human rights struggle between Raiders and slaves. I think that's very unfortunate.

[@StPete-i4p]

I don’t know if you know this, but there’s some bonus areas to explore in the Haven area, just gotta enter the doors. They’re abandoned apartment buildings with trogs and decent loot

[@NotRemmyCormo]

@@StPete-i4p Yeah, but that's still not much.

[@StPete-i4p]

@@NotRemmyCormo of course, but it’s a nice lil bit to explore once you’ve entered haven

[@nowhere3600]

@@StPete-i4p As somebody who has loved The Pitt since I was around 13, but didn't fully explore these kind of games until I was older, it can't be understated how good you feel when you find even just these few apartment buildings worth of extra exploration!

[@ulyssesflag3062]

I was listening to this during my exams, thank you btw and I have always wanted to come back to the pitt and roam the ruined streets and destroyed skyscrapers and someone at bethesda must have heard my wish and made the pitt dlc that will come on fallout 76 sometime in 2022, so I'm really excited for that.

[@imonke5303]

Rip to your expectation of an actual revisit to the pit, bethesda couldn't hit that hard again

[@colddaze6680]

Yeah I dunno if you played 76 yet. Pitt expeditions was not nearly as good as the F3 original. It's just . . It's just not got what the original had.. 76 expeditions is a very poor reinterpretation of the original F3 dlc. It's very linear. Very basic , hit this n that spots ,take out those fanatics for the Union. Hex is the only real Union fighter I've had a conversation with so far. It's split up into smaller linear sub sections. It's very VERY one dimensional,linear playing experience next to F3 Pitt. It's a watered down Disney version of the Pitt I made a 76 account on a friend's console just to check out the Pitt expeditions. I'm glad I didn't buy 76 myself. It's definitely built around a micro transaction system. You can't even make your own repair kits in game any more. But like F3 ,your weapons and armour still degrade over time. But unlike F3 , you can't even buy or make repairs kits in game anymore. You literally have to use game "credits" or buy with real money from the 76 Atomic shop. That right there showed me how money grubbing and plastic and commercial Fallout has got games wise. Probably the most disappointing Fallout game I've ever played all round. Sure got the biggest map with most creatures,blah blah. Also some of the jankiest combat, game play. Ridiculous micro transaction rules. And some of the most uninteresting, politically correct, bland ,vanilla boring a.f NPC"s of any Fallout game I've ever played. It's like they made a PG 13 Fallout MMO. Maybe has the most content. But it's a whole lot of lower quality content for the most part I think. Im just being honest here too I think.

[@joenofoa5223]

Can we just get Fallout 5 in a setting similar to this. The tone and atmosphere were amazing.

[@FlakonFraggs]

Yeah man I have my gripes with Fallout 3 but The Pitt felt like such a great set piece location. Felt more like the moribund hellscape atmosphere the original Fallout and Fallout 2 tried to create for their urban environments.

[@joenofoa5223]

Erro Vorago Exactly my thoughts! It really captured the atmosphere and overall feel of the original Fallouts. It’s what I wish Fallout 3 was honestly.

[@pale_one_0904]

Pittsburgh hasn't changed

[@Absolution099]

I see that Pittsburgh hasn't changed a bit, aside from the steelworks being reopened.

[@mpg272727]

To this day I'm still wondering how they got all the way up to the top of the bridge and hung those corpses on it..

[@larsthemartian9554]

Yeah, that's a lot of effort only for scenery lol

[@colddaze6680]

As there are only snipers and lookout guards up there. It's no wonder they didn't want any one else getting up there easily. Especially not wanting to get any surprise visits from trogs. I reckon they would of used grappling hooks on ropes. Climbed up to the platforms. Then down again, and given the next bunch of snipers and sentry guards the climbing ropes.

[@Visuvh]

Always coming back to this absolutely eerie and fascinating scenery

[@EnchantedSmellyWolf]

Pittsburgh left to die. Can't wait to see how it all began in Fallout 76 with the same director who made this story.

[@qazxsw13]

lol I wonder if you're disappointed with the previews. It doesn't even look like this Pitt at all, they reused so many assets from Fallout 4 in 76's iteration of the Pitt that without the orange nuke mood lighting, it'd just look like Boston in the Commonwealth really.

[@imonke5303]

@@qazxsw13 bethesda couldn't recapture this magic

[@NotRemmyCormo]

​@@qazxsw13 I uninstalled 76 before I started the questline, but somehow I knew they'd find a way to screw it up anyway.

[@colddaze6680]

If you haven't played 76 Pitt expeditions yet. Honestly don't bother. It's nothing like and nowhere as good as the F3 dlc. It's got none of the same atmosphere, imagination, dialogue,vibe and barely even the same ambience sounds that went into the original dlc. Even the couple of NPC'S in it. Literally two you can interact with are basically one dimensional a f. Hex and Wicker. Lifeless characterless , vanilla ,bland boring a.f units that just don't feel they live in the Pitt. More like they just walked off the set of Sesame St. The actual parts of the Pitt you get to visit are smaller cut off sub sections. So far the basic a.f missions Hex sent me on for the Union are no brainer quests , kill thar bunch of fanatics in that section, warehouse of the Pitt. Report back , and kill trogs that invade her HQ every time, rinse and repeat same missions so far . I get it's a MMO, squad based with a squad of friends MMO.. I can just about handle as one player to complete missions. But It's one dimensional ,linear a f every time. It plays like a PG 13 version of the Pitt. 76 is basically a plastic ,fake set up as a PG 13 version of Fallout. With a lot more content .But it's more content than quality. More doesn't mean always better in this case. It's set up like just another corporate style MMO, set up around micro transactions. And the only thing worth while that's come out of it at all, is some extended lore of Fallout as far as Appalachia and the Pitt. The F3 dlc towers over 76 Pitt expeditions still.

[@NotRemmyCormo]

That moment a bunch of slavers with sticks managed to beat down somebody in power armor...

[@lectornox]

Point Lookout is awesome but could you imagine the pitt done like Point Lookout lol

[@kanden27]

Not many fallout dlcs where it sets you in an actual apocalyptical city where it feels all doom and gloom.

[@michaeijn67]

Relaxing ambience my friend

[@dirtcobain7777]

We need a fallout game set in Pittsburgh and that PA area along with parts of North East Ohio such as Cleveland and Youngstown (Youngstown especially because it was too an industrial town. Now gone to shit of course.) It could totally work. Js they could use the next gen hardware to make a badass map and huge game. Just no multiplayer though. Everyone would totally dig a whole game set in this type of setting. And the many small towns and villages of these areas. So much opportunity. But these areas aren't well known. So it probably won't happen. Especially Youngstown. Maybe Cleveland though.

[@zalost154]

You know that's a great idea. I think Pittsburgh would be perfect for a Fallout 5 setting, it really would be the perfect Fallout if bethesda goes for the same type of desolate, scary and dark atmosphere they showcased in the Pitt dlc. I always say Bethesda knew what they were doing with 3 but they did really well with the Pitt when it came to that traditional Fallout feel we loved from 1 and 2. Fallout 4 and 76 was just wayy too pretty and colorful for me personally, it's time they go back tot he drawing board with Fallout and look at the art styles they used with the Pitt and the original games and use that as the overall look for a next Fallout game. I also think it'd be pretty cool if you started outside a vault as a wasteland survivor of sorts where you can even pick to play as a ghoul.

Best dlc

[@colddaze6680]

It was,still is. Inspired me to write some fan fic. It takes a lot for me to write, create in writing. Nah it's no cross over verse , magic the gathering meets Harry Potter meets Fallout , stupid mess like that. It's pure Fallout , side character lore friendly . Set in the Pitt. Pure Pitt like the original , rawness bloody , brutality, cold survivalist realism. Fallout for adults. Set around 3 kids that survive any way they can , mostly run n hide from raiders n trogs til they are old enough, strong enough to fight them. They witness the BOS "scourge" from the shadows in the ruins. When they get older, they go to join Ashur's Army. Cause what's safer than joining the biggest raider gang in the Pitt.

[@creatorleo7578]

I remember going with a Enclave Power Armor, level 30 and the best guns of the game (Energy weapons from Mothership Zeta, rifle from Point Lookout, Laser Machine Gun and more that 500 missiles) to the Pitt... just to be defeated by two slavers with metal bars ._____.

[@c.s.oneill2079]

Ahh, realism in video games.

[@colddaze6680]

Lol , you thought you were gonna take down all Ashur's Army and firee the slaves. Then reality hit in the shape of metal bars as you got through the gate. "Welcome to the Pitt scab!!".. " Hot damn we hit jack pot with this scabs gear!!"

[@rogertemple7193]

A place that you rarely go to but when you have bad guys following you this is always the best place to have them follow you to and you look down and you can barely see the bodies of those other bad guys that you lured here to there deaths and very gruesome deaths at that and there are two huge uglies following you right now and they stand at 6'7" and weigh somewhere between 300 to 400 pounds and the other ones weren't as big and heavy as these two but they were very mean and bad and these two are going to be a little or a lot of doing to get them up here but when you do that is when you have to figure out how to get over without hurting yourself because they have bodies as hard as dried cement and all of a sudden one of them steps on an old banana peel and slips into a railing and when his buddy tries to help him you let loose a huge chain and swing it towards them and it strikes them both very hard and over they go but when they finally hit the ground level it's like two huge bombs going off and a seismic like earthquake shaking the bridge and you flee for your life and pray that you will never ever have to come back here again, g'day y'all.
