Thanks for that, broseph. Also, I have now completed all the DLC for F3! Hooray!
Point Lookout was my favorite, mainly because it was the only one that really felt as open-ended as an expansion to the game should. I liked the location and the creepy atmosphere, the quests were interesting, and the goofy conflict between Desmond and Calvert was pretty funny at times, in almost the same way that OWB was. Yes, whoever voiced Desmond very obviously wasn't British, and that was a constant distraction, but I still liked the jokes. My biggest problem with this add-on was how absurdly overpowered the enemies - that is to say, the tribals and swampfolk - were, and especially the way that it makes zero logical sense in relation to the story. These guys are just ordinary humans. They have no special powers, no training or conditioning, no armor, and very primitive weapons. It shouldn't take several blasts to the head from a shotgun to bring one down, and their shitty knives and axes shouldn't automatically bypass my DR to do ridiculous amounts of damage. What a lazy way to increase the difficulty of a game. No, don't bother designing new, challenging enemies, just give the old ones a paint job and crank up their stats. It's such bullshit.
I really wanted to like Mothership Zeta, after everything I had heard about it. And to a degree, I did like it. There were cool new weapons, a great new location, and even some fairly decent characters. When I saw that little girl, I feared the worst (Bethesda really needs to just stop putting kids in their games. Granted, it's always tricky to portray children in fiction, but Bethesda seems to be especially bad at it), but I actually liked even her. But despite all that going for it, it quickly settled into the tired routine of one long, tedious dungeon crawl. I had hoped for something like The Great Escape, putting more of an emphasis on planning the escape using skills and dialogue than actual combat. It would have made a nice break from the relentless action of the rest of the game, and directly interacting with the aliens would have naturally lent itself to some great comedy. But no, it barely starts and POW POW POW GET READY TO SHOOT STUFF FOR THE NEXT THREE HOURS!
