I'll get the Fallout 3 stuff eventually. I still haven't touched the Alaskan pack even though I stupidly bought it on day one. DOH!
Yeah - once the third pack comes out, the one that raises the level cap to 30, we'll be obliged to buy. We're also hoping they'll offer a bundle or sale on the earlier ones.
I also hate buying DLC for games like this; would rather get it on disc. We had so much DRM confusion in Oblivion that I stopped playing it.
