Make it stop.

I'm glad someone finally represented the working poor of the south as the mentally subnormal homunculi that they are. And here I thought Colonel Autumn's mint julep lilt was bad...

[POOPERSCOOPER]

Here are some more details I found at RPGcodex;

"DESCRIPTION: Point Lookout opens up a massive new area of the Wasteland – a, dark, murky swampland along the coast of Maryland. So hop on the ferry to the seaside town of Point Lookout, for the most mysterious and open-ended Fallout 3 DLC adventure yet.

STORY: Buy a ticket and hop onboard the Duchess Gambit, as Tobar the Ferryman takes you to the strange seaside town of Point Lookout. What secrets does the dilapidated boardwalk hold? Who lives in the sprawling mansion? Why is the Punga Fruit so important? And what horrors lie in the depths of the murky swamp?

Point Lookout is the most open-ended DLC yet, and allows you to explore a huge, swampy wasteland any way you’d like. A completely new quest line allows you uncover the town’s hidden secrets and wield powerful new weapons like the Double-Barrel Shotgun against the swamp’s dangerous, and deformed, denizens.

KEY FEATURES:

• Discover and explore an entire new area – the beachfront town of Point Lookout, with its decrepit boardwalk and surrounding swamplands loaded with adventure.
• Explore the chilling mystery that pervades this once sleepy town, with a new quest line and open-ended gameplay.
• Encounter unique new swamp denizens and weaponry that will test even the toughest characters.
• Exclusive new perks and achievements!"

Amazing.

What do those fucking yankees know about the south?

Jack shit and what they learned from Deliverance, that's what.

[Wolfman Walt]

Maybe I just missed the section in geography that discussed this, but since when was Maryland considered "The south?" I was always under the impression that it was considered in the mid-Atlantic region and/or a border state. I realize it's below the Mason-Dixon line and all, but when I think of "The South," Maryland doesn't cross my mind.

[Aonaran]

I drove from Knoxville to DC not too long ago and there is one hell of a lot of "south" all the fucking way up until you take that last exit into DC proper. Also the southernmost parts of Maryland go as much as halfway down the coastal length of Virginia and it has it's finger up the nose of West Virginia. Whether or not they are calling the land of the lost they have constructed for Fort Lookout Maryland or not, the mutant hillbillies are clearly a jab at the south. The whole atmosphere is a southern pastiche, the plantation, bayou, ger-huckin' Clevons, etc.

As Ausir and others have mentioned, this is just an introduction to the next big IP purchased from Interplay. Redneck Rampage. Also, Walt, look at a map for the Confederate States.

[Wolfman Walt]

Walt, look at a map for the Confederate States.

Sure is missing Maryland.

[rad resistance]

Redneck super mutants WTF?!

[Manoil]

Wow. Seems reminiscent of CoD: WaW Nazi Zombies.

At least Alan Wake is back on track to a release.

[jetbaby]

Another halfhearted attempt at an abortion dumped on the public?

[Megatron]

when i went to the south there was loads of black people, but in this everybody is white? i want some watermelon eatin coons wearing dungarees, maybe eating punga fruit (watermelons).

the trailer wasn't that bad, but the description was terrible. and it'd be fucking awkward to run around swamps. swamp games are never fun.

*drops a FUCKING nuke on a swamp and nothing changes*

[Killzig]

Worst thing about the Witcher was the swamps.

[Manoil]

Perhaps there will be Mutant Gators?
*reusing old concepts again*

[S4ur0n27]

Worst thing about the Witcher was the swamps.

Ha, yeah. Didn't bother stopping to fight, I just ran everywhere.

[Mechanurgist]

Looks like Fallout: Resident Evil to me. I suppose we can expect Fallout: Cold North and Fallout: Farmy Farmland next, until we've gone through the whole continuum of North American biomes, at which point Bethesda will start on the Eurasian landmass. A good way to teach geography and ecology, if nothing else.

[Manoil]

And then, AFRICA.

[Psychoul]

haha, it reminded me of the hitman blood money mission at the southern mansion, then reminded me of bloodraven:bloodlines, and then reminded me of resident evil.

Anyways, it looks creapy. but they ripped my heart out already by destroying fallout.
