I picked up the Downloaded Content Pack for Point Lookout.
The first thing I did when I got to the ferry was find what options there are for getting passage to Point Lookout.
Bsaically, the only choice is to buy a ticket from the boatman, Tobar.
The most you can really do is sell him enough junk to cover the 300ish cost of the ticket.
Tobar is marked as an essential NPC, so he gets the "unconscious" flag instead of death, so you can't kill him for his boat after he tells you how to get there.
You can't threaten or charm your way into getting there. You can't pickpocket him for a ticket, though I guess that doesn't really make much sense, stealing a ticket to give back to the boatman. If you attack him, he fights back, when you take him down, he just gets back up after a while and wishes you a good day. Same for after you arrive in Point Lookout, he is still an essential "friendly" npc.
So annoying.
As an aside, what is with the super tough foes inside Point Lookout? In the main game, you headshot stuff with a single bullet from a sniper rifle, two if it's a tough one. Here you can throw away the sniper rifle cause it hits like a almost-broken handgun. I'm relying on the TESLA CANNON to kill the hostile axe-wielding, shotgun-toting rednecks. And it takes 3 shots! Enclave soldiers in power armor only took one shot, geez. It's like they are all tough as giant albino scorpions or super mutant overlords.
The speed at which the Tribals hack through power armor with axes puts deathclaws to shame.
The difficulty is not impossible to handle, but it feels incredibly out of place compared to the rest of the Fallout world.
