Why does it take 30 days to travel to Point Lookout in adjacent Maryla

None I'm aware of.

 

100% agreement that 30 days seems a very long time for the trip in question. Then again, the storyline has to allow time for Nadine to have gotten there and be established before the LW finds her. Second, the distance may be short in straight line terms, but there is nothing to say just how many stops and diversions are made by the riverboat along the way.

 

(Hmmm, there's a thought for a modder - squeexe a whole new set of adventures within that 30 day span.)

 

Also, I think (could be wrong) that The Pitt and Broken Steel both have 30 day transitions as well. So maybe the folks at Bethesda just got the habit of doing this whenever the game plot called for some sort of "Later".

 

Noting also that we do take travel very much for granted in this era - not just things (trains, planes, automobiles, ships) that are safe, reliable and go fast; but all the support and infrastructure that keeps them effective. For much of human history, in most places, long-distance travel (as in anything more than the next town or whatever) has tended to be risky - and something that most ordinary people didn't do very much of.

 

PS - There is at least one mod that shortens the Point Lookout travel time.
