In summary, Point Lookout is a good addon. It features a completely new area to explore, some good stories and quests, sounds and voices that are a cut above the usual Fallout 3 flair, all of which come together to provide an enjoyable experience. Inconsistencies and confused timeframe do not hamper the experience, long as you try to pay them no heed.

So, if you're looking for a new area to explore, enjoyable quests and some really good sequences, Lookout is a good choice. However, if you're looking for something more in line with the original Fallouts in terms of coherence, roleplaying potential and immersion, the princess is in another castle.

Whereas Broken Steel served as a coda to Fallout 3 whilst extending the lifespan by raising the level cap, Point Lookout provides an experience more reminiscent of The Shivering Isles. A brand new overworld that is roughly 1/5 the size of the DC area and a variety of quests ensure that it is well worth the 800 points and should keep you busy until next month with the arrival of the next expansion, Mothership Zeta.
