This review contains spoilers

The main quest for Point Lookout was really bad. When I say that, I don't just mean boring, but don't get me wrong, it was really boring. While many times in a actually good open-ended story, I have found myself outweighing the pros and cons of siding with each person. However, with this DLC, I found myself trying to decide what to do, only to realize I hated both characters, Desmond and Calvert, and just ended up killing them both. Technically, I sided with Desmond, but killed him one second after Calvert. Where I think Point Lookout really shines, however, is in its side quests. The map itself was incredibly boring, I did go to every location simply in search of more things to do, in terms of quests. In fact, there were two side quests that I would have much preferred to be the main quest, the Blackhall one and Velvet Curtain, just with a little extra length. Point Lookout suffered from being a little generic, with one of the most boring stories I have experienced, and terrible design of its main questline, while still having some of my favorite side quests in FO3.
