Forum:Something strange in Point Lookout

Has anyone else noticed the lack of females in Point Lookout? I mean there are women there, like many tribals and smugglers, but they aren't native to Point Lookout itself. I'm really talking about the Swamp Folk.

There is this abundance of these crazy mutated hicks roaming the swamps(which I love btw, I mentioned back before Broken Steel was released that there needed to be mutated red necks like this), but they are ALL males. It kinda bugged me and made me wonder as to how these supposed "inbreeds" were actually breeding. I bet there are some explanations for this such as, 'wandering female adventures get lost in the swamp and are captured by some of the swamp folk to reproduce', you get the point. But I really wanted to see some deformed women as well (that sounds really weird). I would imagine they would be seen a lot less than the "hard working men out hunting for the family", lol, and would be more frequent inside of the old shacks scattered around the place, like the Trapper's Shack. Originally being an Xbox360 FO3 player, I understand this would suck for you guys, but I would love to see a mod for the PC version to add some female swamp folk.

How did you guys feel about the lack of native women in Point Lookout? Did you think there should have been some female Swamp Folk as well? --Esscex 23:11, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

 * O.O I think they barf up the babies after they've eaten enough human parts and there is the swampbaby. Gabriel Cortez 01:18, 18 July 2009 (UTC)


 * there are swampfolk women they're just not seen, like with Kenny (Point Lookout), he was born in point lookout but was shunned because he wasn't deformed. shadowrunner56

So there's this X-Files episode where they find a deformed baby half buried outside a house. The people that live in the house never come out, except at night. This same family has been living there for decades. So it turns out the mother is the only female currently in the house with her 5 sons (the mothers the one with no legs who lives under the bed on a board with wheels). You were wondering where the women were right? Did you check under the beds? 69.176.232.211 02:11, 18 July 2009 (UTC)spawnsos.
 * Lol, no I didn't check under the bed. But the thing is there aren't ANY in the game. I mean it would be cool if there were some, and they just never came outside, like I first said, but you should be able to find them by going into their old shacks and stuff. There obviously are supposed to be female swamp folk, the evidence being Kenny, the shunned child of the swamp folk for not looking like them, it just makes me mad that Bethesda cut some corners on this subject. --Esscex 05:25, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Good to know I'm not the only one to be bugged by this. I think it being a male dominate society, the women would be locked in closets and basements for God knows why. But we do get to explore every nook and cranny (that we're allowed), but still no luck. The kidnap and rape scenario seems implausible; there does not seem to be enough unarmed unarmored female 'stock' wandering around, and we don't hear much about kidnappings of any sort. Then again, we only get such a small sample of the swamp. Perchance the other half lies deeper. I mean come on! I have killed so many swampfolk that they'd be extinct if they lived/screwed only in PL. I can imagine this true with the simple idea that you wouldn't want your woman nagging about your trapping or growing shack, so leave the radbitch at home where she belongs.

 * Ew, I really hope that isn't a plausible reason. --Esscex 17:38, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
