Ben is trying to decide which location he should visit next.

Dunwich, Rock Creek Caverns, Chryslus Building or Vault Tech HQ.

Decisions, decisions...

And did everyone see this video. Great for a laugh.

Fallout/Skyrim

One thing I noticed about Point Lookout, when you arrive there the game does a cinematic from onboard the ship, giving you a view from on deck as you sail in. It is exactly like how you arrive in Solsthiem in the Dragonborn dlc for Skyrim. So that is one more thing Skyrim inherited from Fallout 3.


I love that pipboy! I want one! That was really cool! He had a Rock-It Launcher!

Molly spent this evening roaming the western reached of Point Lookout. She ran into her first Feral Ghoul Reavers there. Yow, are those things tough! They have twice the hit points of a Deathclaw, and do the same damage!

Misa just finished the Dunwich before I posted the Bobblehead screenshot (it was one of those Bobbleheads).

I knew they were awful, but never realized the extent of it! Ghouls give me the creeps anyway, but when they are hard to kill on top of that - Urk !!!

Misa went to that detention center that was filled with them, it was terrible!

Yeah, bringing anything less of the MIRV there is playing on hardcore mode...

I've experiment a bit over the years to find a way to make Point Lookout-Mothership Z feel more like the main game. Very is no doubt that the enemies are bullet sponges there, Beth always go slightly mad when it come to the end of a game's run.

For me I drop the difficult setting down to easy and only allow my character to have no more than half his maximum hit points. Add a few hardcore rules like limited ammo, weapons and stimpaks and the dlc feels spot on to me. I guess this is more for console games though, mods on PC can do anything, of course!

I started this because I love my Terrible Shotgun so much and hate the fact it (and most other weapons) are useless down there.

I never got the Terrible Shotgun for two reasons; I didn´t want to kill the guy and I don´t like that look of the combat shotguns. I always want the traditional two-barrel ones in games, or possibly a pump-action.

I LOVE the Terrible! The three guns that are my absolute favorites to carry in game: Blackhawk; A3-21; and the Terrible.

But speaking of Point Lookout - even these three can't take down the enemy in Point Lookout, I ended up grabbing up some local weapons because mine weren't getting anywhere against the locals. That is one tough DLC!


OH! Mirocu, it is March! Will you be playing Fallout with us now?

Soon, my child. Soon

I found the following in the Google Reviews for Point Lookout State Park (the Real Life place in Maryland):

SPEW! From what I read in the reviews, that was probably the best review they got,

Molly has explored most of Point Lookout now. She started by heading west along the beach, then worked her way back east through the swamps. Early on she met Obidiah Blackhall and agreed to get the Necronomicon Krivbeknih for him. Marcella turned up afterward and warned Molly to destroy the book instead. Today Molly found the Ritual Site where the swampers had the Krivbeknih. Lots of killing ensued. Afterward Molly took the book back to Marcella, only to find her murdered by thugs. More killing ensued, and now Obidiah sleeps with the fishes. Molly still has the Krivbeknih, and plans to do away with it once she gets back to the Capital Wasteland.

But before then she still has some unfinished business in Point Lookout. She has learned that there is a downed sub somewhere offshore thanks to all the clues Molly chased down from the Chinese spies sent to destroy it before the nukes started to fly. Molly has already done a lot of swimming looking for it off the east coast. So far no luck. She did find some neat goodies. In fact, every buoy off the eastern coast has something on the bottom underneath it.

Of course once the submarine is found, Molly still has Calvert Mansion to look into, and the Ark and Dove Cathedral.

Misa couldn't get into the Ark and Dove without proving herself first by gathering giant punga fruit seeds. She kind of put off doing it, and hasn't done anything since, temporarily busy in the Homestead room since I couldn't help her get around for the last few days, lol.

All that brought flashbacks to me, Rosa. I remember it clearly and I even took screenies from the ambush



Regarding the real-life review -

Yes Yes! When all is said and done, the A3-21 is the only weapon I ever use to finish Broken Steel. I try to force myself to use other weapons, but that thing cuts through Enclave like butter!

For general hunting and raiding I am really impressed with the Backwater Rifle. Just simply a very good gun.
And Albino Scorps? Nothing beats the Gauss Rifle. It flips them over on their backs!

Thanks for the tips about those buoys, Rosa. Time to go deep sea diving!

I love the Gauss, but reloading every 2 shots can leave you with your butt hanging out if you don't have Blackhawk on hotkey.

Some of the perks you can get make that Blackhawk indispensable until you go to Point lookout - then suddenly it feels useless and ineffectual, lol.

I love the gauss too. I built my Winter Soldier Cailleach around it. But it has some bugs, like not doing the full damage in VATS. This mod fixes that. I combined it with Gauss DX, which gives it better visuals. But one that doesn't get fixed is that sometimes your bullet will pass right through a target without doing anything. Which certainly makes things interesting!

Knowing my luck, that would be the glitch I would get,
