- ↑ "The last hurdle for Broken Steel was actually raising the level cap. The conundrum was not only how to continue the quest where the player dies, but how to make the game challenging for the player who has maxed out six of their skills and has Tesla Armor and a Gatling Laser. Al Nanes and Brian Chapin have done wonders with the story, while Jeff Browne and Bruce Nesmith have stepped up and created a game that will definitely challenge even the most veteran Fallout 3 players."
