Bethesda has handed IGN the first extended details on the first downloadable content for Fallout 3, due January, which will see players working their way through a military simulation of the liberation of Anchorage from communist Chinese invaders.

From what I can gather from the frustratingly no-follow-ups interview, it sounds like the simulation will take a more strategic turn, including “interactive Strike Teams” (still unsure whether this interaction will extend beyond the “stick close to me, give me some room” rules that currently apply to the main quest’s partners). I’m similarly unsure exactly how to suspend my disbelief in bringing new weapons from inside a simulation back into FO3‘s real world, but I suppose it could be as simple as a storage locker next to the computer.

The interview also touches at minor hints at the two following DLC packs, including a wink I’m interpreting to mean that Pittsburgh has gone all-ghoul.
