I have a question. Does anyone know if the tribals respawn in the cathedral after the main quest line (Point Lookout)? I completely emptied the place after the quest "Thought Control" and was thinking of using it as a home. --75.97.11.80 17:24, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

If they do respawn, it isn't within the usual 36 hours. I haven't tested beyond that though. I noticed that not all of the Tribals were hostile (notably Croatoa and I believe one other). Not sure if this has something to do with it. Mr. Sully ^(T·C) 17:32, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Real-life Ark & Dove in Maryland

I think the removed entry referred to this church: http://www.arkanddove.org. -- Porter21 ^(talk) 11:53, December 16, 2009 (UTC)

Well, I'll be... Thanks, Porter. I'm beginning to lean toward including references like these, as long as it's short, in the DC area, and includes a link.--Gothemasticator 12:08, December 16, 2009 (UTC)

No problem, I just remembered that I googled it as well when the reference was first added :) -- Porter21 ^(talk) 12:10, December 16, 2009 (UTC)

Origin of name?

the article says "This massive cathedral was named after the first two settler ships that made landfall at Point Lookout in colonial times."

Is there a source for that? Unless that's stated somewhere, that seems quite unlikely. Ark & Dove is a term that refers to the story of Noah's ark and specifically repemption of a destroyed world. There are churches in the real world named "Ark & Dove" and none of them are named after ships (except Noah's Ark, of course). Wickedjacob 23:20, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

I think it says that on one of the little loading screen blurbs when you're in Point Lookout. RolandVH 06:56, December 11, 2010 (UTC)

It would also be true that those are the names of the ships if that counts for anything. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ark_(ship), http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maryland_Dove) FinalWish 04:12, August 8, 2011 (UTC)

Lobotomy or trepanation?

The Behind the Scenes should toss in a mention to trepanations as a similar quack practice. One of the character dialogues says "Those tribals thing opening a hole in their head will let their brains expand." which made me belive that's what the tribals were doing. 131.191.60.228 19:50, April 14, 2018 (UTC)
