Point Lookout (add-on)



Point Lookout is the fourth Fallout 3 add-on, released on June 23, 2009 as downloadable content (DLC) for the Xbox 360 and Games for Windows Live. The PlayStation 3 version is to be released after the first three add-ons have been released. The DLC costs 800 Microsoft points or $9.99. A disc version will be available for PC and Xbox 360 together with Broken Steel as part of the second Fallout 3 Game Add-On Pack in August 2009 (and in September 2009 in France).

This add-on's street release date was broken as it was downloadable via a Gamestop code four days before scheduled release. However, Bethesda was quick to fix this and the codes stopped working approximately two hours after the reports of them being used came in.

Overview
Point Lookout takes place in the Fallout equivalent of Point Lookout State Park, a new swampland area with new quests and enemies. Point Lookout in the Fallout setting has a landscape between one sixth and one fifth the size of the Capital Wasteland where "the bombs didn't actually fall, but the world has left it behind".

Point Lookout is playable before finishing the main quest, much like Operation: Anchorage and The Pitt, which can be played immediately upon exiting Vault 101. You receive a message on-screen that initially starts the quest The Local Flavor. As with previous add-ons, the main questline is said to add about 3 to 4 hours worth of game time.

Followers cannot follow you to Point Lookout, but you are able to travel back to the Capital Wasteland with 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 second add-on to allow players to break away from the quest line after starting, the first being Broken Steel.
