    I had enough of those god-damn swamps after 20 minutes. Enemies are stronger than super-mutant on steroids, there's basically nothing in there. The best mission is about finding agent China, at the end it will give you some swamp riffle, which is just simple rifle eating 10mm ammunition. But the main quest end, holy molly, I was promised to get some big reward, rite? And what was thatI had enough of those god-damn swamps after 20 minutes.

Mesmetron I can get at Paradise Falls for free, holy flip! So basically at the end of the main quest the reward is practically NOTHING! It was boring, I was happy like a little turtle when I leaved it and came back to DC, you know.… Expand

    So, then: the best expansion so far and the game at its worst. Such a contradiction could only be made by Bethesda.

    The new game world looks great, and the omnipresent vegetation is a real change from the barren rock and destroyed highways that we’re used to. At times the frame rate seemed to take a bit of a hit, but this issue never became serious enough to affect gameplay - the action was just a bit less smooth than usual.

    Point Lookout is one of the better Fallout 3 expansions and feels well worth the $10 price tag. There's a brand new area with over a half dozen trippy and exciting missions to find and work through. Plus, there are inbred hillbillies. If you're still looking for more Fallout 3, definitely give Point Lookout a try.
