Part 14: This will totally be worth it.

This will totally be worth it.


I think the brain makes a very good case for himself. Besides, Desmond's been an utter dick to me. The brain, on the other hand, probably has some secrets of the universe to share!


In ya go!
I'M BRAIN PROUD OF YOU. HEY, COME TO THE MANSION. I'LL SHOW YOU A MIND TRICK.


Uh, Professor? I'm at the mansion! What did you want to-


Erm.


SWEET TALOS


Uh...hm.


Well, he spared the lighthouse...


...so that seems like as good a place as any to check out.


Good ol' towers.


Unfortunately, there's not much worth investigating at the top. Just some dead guy.


Yes, in his madness, Desmond has put things below the tower!


Oh hey there he is. Hi Desmond!


No thank you. You're a dick.




Desi, if there's one spell I still remember,


it's Enemies Explode.


I'll just take a few souvenirs...


Blow me up some robots...


And hey whaddya know, it's the Professor! How ya doin', Prof? I killed Desmond and everything!


BY THE WAY, FUCK YOU I'M A BRAIN.
Huh. Can't say I saw that coming.
I WOULD HAVE.
Uh huh.
DO YOU KNOW WHY
Because you're a brain?
BECAUSE I'M A BRAIN YES


And you're a brain behind glass, right?
WHERE ARE YOU GOING WITH THIS



Fuck you, that's where.
THAT...


smarts


Oh, huh. There's even more lab.


This looks promising.


Hopefully I'll get to try it out soon enough.


...now what did a brain need with an escape hatch?


Ow. OW. Fuck.


Some punk kid in the water.


Well, I did want to try out my new weapon.


...hm. Inconclusive. The speed of the beam thingy leaves something to be desired. I'll have to find a slower target.


I don't need no wave gun to deal with this guy anyway.


Fuck this island, I've got a dad to find.

Well, Point Lookout was pretty damn disappointing. I thought maybe they were going somewhere with this questline, but it turned out to be, what, four or five quests? That's pretty bad. And as soon as Calvert betrayed me, well, that pissed me off. I looked it up afterwards, but I think it goes without saying that your other option is to go fight the brain anyway, only with Desmond. As for any other content I may have missed in this DLC? Well, I'm sorry to say, but the island is sparsely populated, has enemies that'd kill me quite quickly, and the game has made no effort to point me towards any sidequests. The drug trip was pretty, but overall, this just seemed unfinished. Congratulations, Bethesda, you fucking wasted my time. Tune in next update when we do some stuff in the Capital Wasteland probably!
