THIS MOD REQUIRES THE POINT LOOKOUT DLC TO FUNCTION
----

In the Shadow of the Swamp


**EPISODE III IS NOW INCLUDED IN THE DOWNLOAD**
(It overwrites your existing .esp from episode I & II)



v 1.08
February.19.2010
(CHANGE LOG AT BOTTOM)

EPISODE I
A shady doctor took up residence in Point Lookout years ago. Exploring his motel room may yield clues as to his motivation for being there as well as the plan he had laid out for the residents of Point Lookout.

EPISODE II
A biologist travelled to Point Lookout to research and document the symbiotic relationship between Punga plants and the indigenous Punga scorpions. Will his research bring him into contact with the disreputable doctor from Episode I?

EPISODE III
A young anthropologist finds herself taxed with investigating the history and culture of the swampfolk in the Point Lookout area. She finds more than she bargained for in the murky swamps.



**OPTIONAL**

Enclosed in the latest patch you'll find a new .esp: PLFewerItems.esp. It makes numerous changes to the Point Lookout environment as a whole to make it more difficult; principal to its design is a reduction in healing items found strewn about.

The objective of this mod is to reduce the amount of various healing items and ammunition available in Point Lookout and make the player's trek through this DLC more challenging.

----
The amount of stimpaks, ammunition, and miscellaneous items in Point Lookout annoyed me. Finding multiple stimpaks on swampfolk just seemed wrong, and the sheer *amount* of stuff didn't sit well with me. Those who favor a more challenging experience with limited provisions and suboptimal equipment may enjoy the changes implemented by this mod.

Objectives:

• Drastically lower the amount of stimpaks and ammunition in Point Lookout
• Lower the number of items found on Swampfolk, especially stimpaks
• Reduce the stimpaks & medical items found in Point Lookout first aid kits
• Remove numerous healing items strewn about like confetti from several portions of the DLC
