Fallout 3: The Pitt Screenshots and Details

Bethesda Softworks has released the first three screenshots of Fallout 3‘s second downloadable expansion, The Pitt. You’ll be welcomed to Pittsburgh in all of it’s post-apocalyptic waste. If you’re from or been in the Pittsburgh area, you’ll recognize how awesome this expansion actually looks.

Hit the gallery for the first screens. Hit the jump for the first details.

The Pitt opens with a desperate radio message, and a meeting with its sender, an escaped slave named Wernher. Wernher claims that the leader of “The Pitt” has created a cure for mutations… and he needs you to go in and retrieve it. From there, the player can proceed in a number of ways, in true Fallout 3 style. Do you fight your way in, or disguise yourself as a slave? Ally with the slaves, or join their Raider overlords? The Pitt is very morally ambiguous – there’s no real right or wrong, just choices to be made, sides to be chosen, and a mystery that could send shockwaves throughout the entire Wasteland.
