Fallout 3’s fourth mini-expansion “Point Lookout” is available for download via Xbox LIVE Marketplace. The content is priced at 800 Microsoft Banana Dollars, not a bad deal for what appears to be a beefier than normal offering: “Point Lookout” will have its own Wasteland-type map, hopefully larger than Bethesda's previous DLC offerings.
In addition to having some exploration options, “Point Lookout” will look different than the nuclear ravaged norm. The downloadable content’s setting is a placed untouched by bombs. So, get ready for some green, folks. Also, mutated hillbillies and possibly anacondas (it is based in a swamp, after all).
Those of you who grabbed this early from GameStop should chime in. Is the DLC worth the purchase? Why or why not?

I have high hopes for this. Like, Shivering Isles a la Fallout high hopes...that ain't gonna happen, is it?
"HEYYYY YOU GUYSSSS!!!"
By the time I finished it up, I only had a few minutes to get into Point Lookout. I found the ferry, bought a ticket (I hope you don't need to buy one each time you visit/leave), and took the trip to PL. The ferryman said something about smoke, and I was off on my own...and ended up saving as soon as I set foot on the dock. NyQuil was kicking in. Dammit. So much for getting the DLC early.
Hopefully I'll get into it more tonight.
Seriously, it's the r-tard from The Goonies...
Also,
I'm getting this!!
Played it...
When I was 90% through defending the Mansion, it Froze in VATS. So since Freezing is a Common Fallout 3 issue, and my 360 had been on for about 6 or 7 hours...I'm not blaming it on Point Lookout.
Im too tired to go back and check to see if it was a PL bug or not...I'll do that tomorrow
And I was able to get in a bunch of time with the new content already today, all bug free. 4th time's a charm... knock on wood.
If you're me, you've spent far more than that. I bought the regular edition of the game, then bought the Special Edition of the game for another $100, and bought all the DLC. So, I win, only to be superceded by Necros.

Inbreeding.
Well radiation just doesnt go away...all the water is still irradiated so they're inbred and affected by radiation..
Sucks to be them.
Also, I've played a good 2 hours now, and this looks to be the most feature packed DLC of them all, I'd say its #2 Must Get after Broken Steel
