Point Lookout, I feel I went through too soon.  I may need to go through the game again.  I went through it and literally was racing to finish the main quest so that I could get out of there.  It was cool, but I would get slaughtered by the inbred mutants, running backwards half-way across the map shooting off all of my ammo. 

That's where I first came across the zombie-ghoul things that threw green slime at you, too.  It's like they were invincible.  I don't think I did a single side quest at PL.

I think we'll have a long wait till Fallout 4. 

However, I've heard rumblings of a new project that plays off of the same engine and everything that Fallout 3 plays off of, but will be in a different setting.  It won't be a sequel, but a side project from Fallout 3 that shows a different location during the same time-period as FO3.

I've also heard rumors that it will be located in "New Vegas", which should be pretty sweet.

Fallout: New Vegas

Due out this November.

Okay in another thread I mentioned that I've been playing Fallout 3, and that it's not as fun as Fallout 1 & 2 (both games I was absolutely obsessed with).

I was wrong.  Last night I cleared out the Dunwich office building.  I was honest to God scared as I wandered through the place.  I was more than sufficient level to take it on, don't get me wrong.  I was in very little danger of dying unless I did something really stupid.  But it freaked me the hell out.  That's a well done game right there.

My problem with FO3 is I bought it on the Xbox to play with my son.  Then I realized holy crap there's dialogue about having sex with ghouls, and hiring prostitutes and stuff in this game and immediately stopped playing with my son.  Not to mention the fire ants scared the shit out of him (he was 9 at the time). Then my wife started playing a game after the kids were in bed and I'd watch her and we basically had several aborted games.  And then my daughter started playing.  So all I ever saw was the Vault and Megaton and that damn Minefield and the Blood Ties quest.  I hate that Blood Ties quest.  So the game sat for another year.  Then I bought it on computer just for shits n grins when it was on sale one weekend.

I finally pushed laboriously past the parts I'd seen over and over, and I'm enjoying it immensely now.  (I still haven't done the Blood Ties quest and I doubt I will in this run through....hate it)

Whole point to bumping this thread was to say what I said at the beginning, but hey I'm not a man of few words what can I tell you?
