Later this month, Bethesda will release Point Lookout, a new DLC expansion for Fallout 3. Players can take a ferry to a new area of the wasteland, a decimated swamp filled with decrepit buildings and long abandoned people. Point Lookout’s wasteland area will be about 1/6th that of the original Capital wasteland, and will include 20-30 new locations. A dark, swampy motif replaces the dry sandy waste which we are all used to, and everything will seem darker, and more foreboding.
Point Lookout is populated by three new human enemy types, including the backwater hick version of the typical raiders. Familiar monsters will get a make-over to fit them into the new setting, such as the swamp ghouls, a grey and goopy version of the feral ghouls we know and love.
The quests in the expansion are intended for characters at levels 15-20, and will feature lots of scripted events, which are designed to give the adventures a survival-horror feel. Expect lots of crumbling floors, flickering lights, odd noises in the distance, and enemies that sneak up behind you.
Look for Point Lookout to hit the digital shelves on June 23.
