I’ve been busy lately, but I finally got around to the just-released Fallout 3 DLC, Point Lookout. It’s a completely separate, swampy area that’s much bigger than the rest of the DLC so far, with a lot more to explore and do, and even some new monsters in the swamp people and swamp ghouls and a new form of mirelurk.

There’s various side activities and I went through a bunch of them right away, including pillaging some bank vauls, tracking down a spy’s 200-year-old mission, a “safari” expedition in a cave, making moonshine, and various other caves and loot points. The primary quest was getting involved in an old vendetta between a ghoul and a scientist who turned out to be a brain in a jar. Although straightforward, it introduced some neat game mechanics like a house defense standoff.

Overall, it’s probably the best piece of DLC so far for Fallout 3, and well worth it.
