Point Lookout (Fallout 3) (Follow @Point_Lookout)

[Jay Ray]

I am playing the point lookout expansion, I even have a twitter account where my character will be using his pipboy to twitter in point lookout. Kinda over the top, but I am having fun doing it.

Point Lookout will be the fourth Fallout 3 add-on, to be released on June 23, 2009 for the Xbox 360 and Games for Windows Live. The PlayStation 3 version is to be released after the first three DLCs have been released. The DLC will cost 800 Microsoft points or $9.99.





Point Lookout takes place in the Fallout equivalent of Point Lookout State Park, a new swampland area filled with a main quest, and several sidequests. Its incarnation in the Fallout setting is supposedly more of a "seaside vacation town with a boardwalk" and said to have a larger landscape where "the bombs didn't actually fall, but the world has left it behind". Being designed by Joel Burgess and Nate Purkeypile, it has been stated it will have a "swampy-horror vibe" and will be the most open-ended of all DLC packs.
Point Lookout will be playable before finishing the main quest, much like Operation: Anchorage and The Pitt, which can be played immediately upon exiting Vault 101. You'll receive a radio transmission that initially starts the quest The Local Flavor.
Followers cannot follow you to Point Lookout, but you will be able to travel back to the Capital Wasteland via the Duchess Gambit anytime after arriving, which means you can spend as much time as you like exploring, and still head back home when need be. This is the first DLC to allow to break away from the quest after starting, with the exception of the Broken Steel DLC.

i did like the part where you got hallucinations

you keep seeing bobbleheads



then this weird saw is cutting through the floor


then aload of nuka grenades fall and explode


more bobbleheads



then sewing needles sewing the floor



a table with balloons, a bobble head and a skeleton :o



in the water behind that are floating bodies, when you touch them they dissolve





then theres the megaton bomb with a bobblehead, it explodes and you wake up

[Jay Ray]

yeah that part was really trippy. Also whats with strange religious cults in fallout?

[Rughugger]

I've just beat everything in that expansion (that I could figure out anyways) and it was entertaining, if not somewhat frustrating without the ghoul mask. Otherwise I liked it. Can't wait for the next one.

My brother got it yesterday, after patching, he can't access any DLC, or exit the game without having to reset his PC.

[snot2]

if you set live to not sign in automatically and keep it offline when you start fallout, all dlc will work

[Marcem]

He DL'd them, but it's not in his data thingy.

[snot2]

you have to move them there from this folder

C:\Documents and Settings\Your User Name\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Xlive\DLC (Windows XP)
C:\Users\Your User Name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\XLive\DLC (Windows Vista & Windows 7)

the content folders have all the files you have to move (2 .bsa and 1 .esm)

forget, Snot just ruined it for me.  Oh, and I went in the Trapper shack and completely didn't see the guy(as he was in the bathroom,) and going back out, I saw him coming out of the bathroom and I lit him up :D  Flamer is good weapon here :O  Except when you hit the gas bubbles :/
