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".

Like all add-ons except for Broken Steel, Point Lookout is playable at any time during the main storyline; the player could travel there immediately after exiting Vault 101. Once the content is loaded, you receive a message on-screen that initially starts the quest The Local Flavor. As with previous add-ons, the main quest line is said to add about 3 to 4 hours worth of game time.

When you first arrive at Point Lookout, your followers shall not be accompanying you. However, if instead of proceeding straight from the boat to discover "Pilgrim landing" you travel sidewards to any other marked location (e.g. Disaster relief camps) on the map and then fast travel back to the riverboat (not the pilgrim landing) you shall be positioned in front of the boat and your followers would be standing by your sides. This may prove helpful against the obnoxiously higher attacks and DT of tribals or the swampfolks.

You are able to travel back to the Capital Wasteland with the Duchess Gambit anytime, which means you can spend as much time as you like exploring, and still head back home when need be. It takes a month (30 days) of game time to travel to Point Lookout.
