Blackadder Plays Fallout New Vegas:Two Birds One Stone!

Post by Blackadder51 » 15 Oct 2011, 22:44

Its hot, im hungover and there is a bastard mowing his lawn. Welcome to a fantastic Sunday morning for me. After dragging my arse to the kitchen and attempting to cook bacon and eggs, I had a fantastic idea. Lets do a Lets Play!

I have have always liked lets play's they can show a game from a new angle or introduce yourself to a new genre that you never liked. However I only like the image ones and not the video ones so thats what im going to be doing.

The game I chose is Fallout New Vegas a game which I only purchased yesterday on a whim. I own Fallout 3 on the PS3 and I remember enjoying it however when New Vegas was announced I honestly thought it looked like DLC an expansion pack to the Fallout 3 and I still remain in that thought.

As I have never played this game nor read much about it please keep this spoiler free. I am not running any mods and the quests will be done mostly as I find them. I also grabbed all the DLC and Ill look around for a suitable lvl in which to attempt it. (For example in Fallout 3 Point Lookout is much harder with a lower lvl character) Also I really do not remember the game and its skills so bear with me when I make choices that seem stupid.

Also the images are going to be a pain in the ass, so tell me if its to small.

This will have Australian humour so be warned. Ill update this when I want, put I do work full time so I doubt ill get much done in a working week (Mon -Fri).


Anyway Lets get this show on the road!

A Fresh Start
Spoiler! :
Well this is it Fallout New Vegas.


Image

Lets get going then.

Cuts to a video of a casino thats rather rundown, to a bad image of outside were people are drinking and chilling.

Image

Image

Some dude with the worst stealth armour rocks up on the Las Vegas New Vegas sign and pulls off a decent headshot.


Image

Image

Image

Image

We then zoom out to some guys that look like Romans, who I see fully support the Short Shorts Rule. I think I will like this group a lot. Crap flag though. Anyway they run around a bit, we get the bad guy theme.

Image

Image

Image

Then voice over time! A bit of lore about the vaults and an intro to the "Great Khans"I see we couldn't be arsed to make up to make up names for the groups but whatever.

Image

See a flag for the New California Republic (NCR) which has a two headed bear!!

Image

Vegas is mentioned as being teh shit, and Hoover Dam being somewhat important.

Image

Image

Image

The NCR control it much to the dismay of the Romans or something, no screenshot with a name on it.

Bit more info about Vegas, introduced to Mr House. Which is a really boring name. He controls Vegas with his army of police robots.

Image

Then info about us! We are a courier and we deliver pizza all over the wasteland!

Image

Which then cuts to our hands being tied, which is never good.

Image

Image

Then we see a token black dude, a guy in a suit and another token white dude.

Image

At this point he speaks, and I panic to find the enable subtitle option so I can look at conversations later on and type them in. So I hit Esc which skips the bloody thing.....

But from what I gather, and my remembering of a trailer. This dude shoots you, says something along the lines of "From were you are sitting, it seems like a rotten bit of luck but really the game was rigged from the start" and then he shoots you, which is nice.

We awake to this bloke who claims the he is a Doctor who then proceeds to ask for our name, and asks if he screwed on our bodily parts correctly.

Image

Image

Image

He proceeds to see if we are ok by making us use a Vigor machine which is kinda dodgy but whatever.

Image

I chuck points into Charisma for Speech, Agility for the Action Points and Intelligence for the Skill points.

Image

The Doc chucks us into a chair and asks us questions and does an ink blot test which is boring as hell to show in another 20pics and pointless when he gets you to review it.Anyway we choose Guns, Lockpicking and Speech. ( So glad they lumped it together instead of big guns/small guns)

Image

Image

We also get to choose our Traits which is new. None of them really take my fancy, so we grab Wild Wasteland for the lolz and good natured which I liked.

Image

Image

The Doc then gives us his Pip-Boy which is a nice gift, our stuff which is a gun, some ammo, bobby pins and a note. And his dead wife's old vault suit, which is creepy (Not our clothes though)

Image

Hardcore mode pops up which is selected. This adds water, food and sleep as new stats we need to keep an eye on.

Image

Image

Image

Image

The Doc then asks us to bugger off to the Saloon to talk to some chick named Sunny Smiles (really thats her name?), but before we do I need to fix some depring. I purchased the all the DLC for the game which includes the Pre-Order packs, which gives you a bit of ammo/guns/armour/supplies at the start, which I see as being rather broken at the start as you can see by the pics.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Stashed it in a box at the Docs place. I do not sell the stuff as its worth a lot of caps. Which leaves us with just about nothing.

Image

Image

Image

Image

For some reason the game does not consider the Docs house as something that we "steal" from. So we rob him blind and grab anything we can carry with no Karma loss :)

Image

Image

Image

We finally get outside and have a cap increase of 20 which is nice, as well the DLC locations being added.
Image

Image

Image

Image

Outside looks very different to what I played in Fallout 3 and for that im glad.

Image

Image

Image


I see a robot in the distance so we talk to it. We also know that he dug us out all of a sudden, which I can not remember be told so thats kind of weird. He seems nice enough, if a bit creepy.

Image

Image

Might as well offload the Doc's stuff before we meet Sunny,

Image

Walk in and see the character doing a looped animation of scraping the ground or something which is creepy, but we sell 206 caps worth of crap to him which indeed was a good deal.

Image

Image

And he introduces weapon mods which make me very excited.

Image

Now we go and visit Sunny, who gives us a rifle out the back and tells us to shoot some bottles.

Image

Image

If I have to be honest these bottles are going to be easy to outmanoeuvre in a battle situation and the the iron sights are a nice touch even if the gun models look even worse close up.

Image

Image

After the gruelling fight Sunny needs to fight some Geckos that piss in the town water or something, so we tag along.

Image

Image

And find a nice bug in which the pistol just hangs off.

Image

We attempt to sneak up on the geckos, which fails.

Image

Easy enough to kill in vats.

Image

The excitement of the battle is to much for the dog whose eyes just fall out, but Sunny does not seem to care or notice. I'll just add it to the book of creepy shit.

Image

At the third water hole some chick is fighting 3 geckos, which is stupid so we come in and save her.

Image

Image

Image

After lapping up some water we talk to Sunny who gives 50 caps and then offers to show us how to live of the land.

Image

Image

Image

Next update: Bitches Love Flowers! !
A couple of things, you might have noticed. I am using the green overlay, I prefer it to the amber. And I am playing this on an Xbox controller as it is some much easer then the keyboard. I am not an experienced player to the Fallout world so there will be some dumb decision making. I never was much for writing conversations down and when I read lets plays I do generally not notice them, however If I am skipping to much of the conversations by cutting it down do tell me.

Anyway thoughts, suggestions, think its shit?

Say it below! =D

I'm enjoying it so far, Black. I've never finished F:NV, so I'm interested in how your playthrough turns out.

You weren't lucky enough to get a golden disk, I have F:NV for Xbox, yours seems to have more glitches then mine, it even seems to be uglier.

That said, I rather like it, be sure to do some of it while inebriated. :lol:

Bitches Love Flowers

Spoiler! :
Luckily they are not to far apart,

Image

Also I realise that I forgot the radio so I turn it on and is pleasantly surprised, though it is odd not hearing Three Dog blasting our ears about how brilliant trees are.

Image

We make it to what looks like to be an old school, and whilst going to take a screen cap (going from controller to keyboard) take damage randomly and it took me a second to realise why.

Image

Image

Its a huge praying mantis, which is quickly targeted in VATS and shot down.

Image

Image

Incidentally it took two times aiming in VATS to bring the bastard down, somehow the 95% headshot missed. With the Praying Mantis gone we can go and find our herbs.

Image


Which are a brown against brown, so it was really easy to find.

Image

Hmm, while we are here lets break into the school.

Image

More Praying Mantis die and to send a message we steal the legs. Its the bug version of a horse head in the bed.

Image

There is a safe with decent loot

Image

I also enjoy the lock picking game a lot, much better then hacking.

Image

And now back outside to head off to the cemetery, as green houses or even basic veggie gardens have not been invented yet. A small I also like is the small dust twirks which looks like crap in pictures but is a nice effect in game.

Image

We also have conversation with Jerry the bighorn, well I have a conversation it just moans and farts.

Image

Prank the owner of the house by stealing a camera from the mailbox. (which is bigger then the mailbox itself might I add)

Image

A scorpion scares the crap out of me ambushes us, so I take one screenshot and waste a bit of ammo. (again I was setting up for a screenie)

Image

The area has a couple of Bloatflies just chilling, so we slaughter them all and take the herb.

Image

Image

I was expecting another brown on brown root so again I spent to long finding this.

Image

MAGIC TELEPORT ACTIVATE

Image

We show Sunny our brilliant scrounging skills and she shows us how to make healing powder.

Image

There a lot of recipes and all you need is the right skill level and ingredients and you can make most things. Which is a pretty addition. She then tells us to meet Trudy the town mum who works at the Prospector (The Saloon)

Image

Inside we find some dude with armour arguing with her about some guy named Ringo (or as auto correct says Dingo) that the town is hiding. He leaves in a huff after threatening to raze the town. Trudy says that Ringo is a trader that survived a raid and that he is hiding in the Gas Station up the road. The rude prick was a Powder Ganger which is the local bad guy squad. Also her radio broke which is fixed by us for an easy 50 caps.

Image

Image

Image

Image

After selling the townsfolk stuff back to her, we have a nice amount of caps.

Image

Oh and the Legions are the name for the Romans, who are slavers, killers and are all sorts of trouble but really they do get some points for a bad arse uniform. I mean nothing says we have balls then showing your enemy just that.

Image

Welcome to Level 2!

I go across the board, trying to get most above 25 so we can pass skill checks. With a speech of 40 though we shouldn't have much of a problem with speech checks for a while.

Image

The perk goes to intensive training which goes to luck for the critical hit increase

Image

Image

Its hitting late afternoon when we finally go the Gas Station.

Image

Ringo pulls a gun on seeing us, we convince him we are not an enemy by saying we are not an enemy. Which is a bit trustworthy of him but whatever.

Image

We agree to help him and fight the Powder Gangers but first we need to see if Sunny can help us. Also we steal everything in the gas station for an easy 80 caps once its sold.

Image

Sunny is at the Saloon who just likes walking into her dog a lot. Again another thing in the Holy Fuck this place is weird journal. She wants to help and tells us to convince the town folks that have names to join us, she would help but she needs to walk into her dog more.

Image

Image

Easy Pete is chilling outside so we ask him if can borrow his dynamite. He denies as we have 10 in explosives. I call him a prick and leave.

Image

We convince the shop keep who is named Chet (really Chet?) to just give us his leather armour, which means we have 6 armour compared to 0.

Image

Image

A nice little touch I found on the way to The Doc's house.

Image

Which I only have a picture of the Hat I stole, instead of the part were he gives us some stimpacks.

Image

I do have a picture of Trudy though, and her agreement to help.

Image

Which is good enough for Ringo.

Image

Sunny then tells us the guy with the armour is Joe Cobb which means fuck all to me, but I smile and nod.

Image

I am happy we recruited a couple of people, the fight is pretty easy and the new hat looks fantastic!

Image

Crocodile Dundee was also shot :(

Image

At some point Joe Cobbs gun was shot out of his hand, which made for a nice execution.

Image

This also lead us to the introduction of faction and towns and how they like you which in turn dictates there actions. A system much better then Three Dog saying your brilliant every five seconds or so. The people of Goodsprings (The Town) love us, and all we did was rob them and kill a dude. High fives were given all round.

Image

On the other hand we are now SHUNNED by the Powder Gangers which I found to be more funny then a problem. If there version of a poor impression involves killing a leader and some of his thugs I wonder we have to do to be hated....

Image

Oh well, Ringo gives me 100 caps which goes nicely with all the loot of the dead Powder Gangers.

Image

Sleeping at Easy Pete's place! Who does not notice or care might I add.

Image

Also dehydration hits for a second. Ill be interested to see if this going to be a major game changer or an annoyance.

Image

In the morning, we talk to Sunny who has no more quests so we set off to Primm to talk to the admin of Mojave Express who knows a bit more about the package that we got killed for.

Image

Image

Next Update: To Primm and Beyond!
So what you guys thinking of it so far? Also people that played Fallout 3 did you enjoy New Vegas more, or was it a meh?

Oh yeah, the pictures are a low quality because of the program I use to make the fit the image limit for the forums. Nothing I can really do about that.

3 Reasons.

The Thumbnail is to small.

I have to do each file manually compared to entire folders.

And thirdly I don't want to use up a lot of space on the forums hardrive.

Usually Let's Plays are video, aren't they...? It's hard to follow along with your pictures and text, though, as it breaks the site, going outside and under the side border;
broken, yo.png
Unfortunately because of this, I have no idea what you're fully typing unless I make an effort to copy/paste it, which is a lot to do. So it's just a slideshow of pretty pictures.

You're gonna have to add line breaks after every piece of text and picture, me thinks.

On New Vegas itself; First time I played it, I played it for awhile and then got bored of it. I think it's because it has invisible walls, and kind of forces you to go a specific direction. Because of that, it feels WAY more linear than FO3. Travelling in a straight line to a map marker sometimes won't work, and you have to go around huge mountains or take a specific path, which sucks. I wouldn't mind if it was just a mountain, as I can mountain climb pretty good in FO, but it's at the top when there's invisible walls up there too. Makes me rage.

But, second time I played it, months and months after the first time, I experienced the same thing, basically. Bland fetch quests that only reward you with caps, or exploring lots and lots of caves only to find measely rewards. Exploration didn't feel as good as in Fallout 3. But, I was determined to stick it out, and I continued exploring everywhere, amassed over 150,000 legitly earned caps, a bunch of unique weapons. I made it fun... up until I hit the XP cap. I don't have my XBOX hooked up to the internet, nor have a credit card. So I am stuck with the broken, glitchy, release date copy of the game, no addons. At level 30, I still had quests to do and hadn't fully explored everywhere. I hadn't even gotten to VEGAS yet, sheesh. But with XP being my main motivator for quests, I suddenly had no desire to complete them. I could already one-shot a Deathclaw at incredible range (Guns 100 + Gobi Campaign Scount Rifle = anything dead in 1 shot), so had no need for better weapons. I had a crapton of caps I wasn't even spending. I had more ammo than I would ever need (over 1500 .308 rounds... which is all I ever used at range, and 3000+ of the 12.7mm rounds for close range). I no longer had a reason to quest or explore. So... I stopped playing. Didn't even get to Vegas. It might have to do with the way I played the game, but I'd assume other people would want to explore and actually do quests when they come up too, and not just rush through the main story.

I prefered new vegas in the context of after 200 years people are rebuilding and are not stuck in some crater also really enjoying the series so far as fallout seems to suit you.

I far preferred New Vegas to Fallout 3. I liked both games, but NV had more quests, better writing, was more interesting what with the factions and all, and felt like it was recovering.

To Primm and Beyond!

I got into the game a lot more then I should, so its a big update.
Spoiler! :
We were hitchhiking down a long and lonesome road....

Image

H20 was getting low (well high) so free non rad water at the spring.

Image

In which a bucket amuses me.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Across the Hill a guy is crying, about his girl being trapped by some geckos. He must have some caps so we help him.

Image

Image

At this point the game confirms that everything chosen is correct, which I like even though its odd.

Image

Some Geckos run at us, and are promptly taught the physics of lead hitting head.

Image

Image

There tough though and a lot of ammo is used.

Image

Image

Image

I hope thats not her blood :(

Image

Thats a dude....

Image

And a bear trap?

Image

At this point some mystifying music plays, and the trait we selected comes into play. Though im not to sure if this was for this as nothing is really that wacky.

Image

We find a bitching sitting spot though, also all the cards are an ace of spades, but really there is nothing here so lets go.

Image

IN WHICH WE ARE BETRAYED!

Image

The betrayal is so much Vats bugs out and shows no percentage, so I close my eyes and guess. (Another one...)

Image

Which goes well.

Image

After repairing the Pistol level 3 is hit.

Image

Points go mostly to guns and lockpick.

Image

Further down a pileup is shown, which might have good loot.

Image

Instead we lose a leg and dignity.

Image

Image

Image

In hardcore mod the only way to repair a crippled limb is via a doctor or a doctors bag which is rather rare. I have no choice but to use the bag.

Image

Oh yeah, and we are in a Powder Gangers base who despite being shunned do not shoot us which is nice. So I return the favour and do not shoot them.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Which for some reason makes them hate us.

Image

Loot the bodies, and the truck. Which was carrying a closet and a shelf?

Image

Image

Find a note saying that loot is rarer these days which is a blatant lie.

Image

After sleeping in the bed to catch up on the SLP stat, we continue for the town of Primm.

Image

In which graffiti is found on a back of a billboard.

Image

And a Young Gecko Hunter just brutally punched the head of a radroach which was cool.

Image

Primm is now seen and the NCR have control of the town.

Image

Oh wait, no the Powder Gangers do.

Image

But Lt Hayes is the man to speak to, so off to him.

Image

Cosy camp.

Image

I want that beret so much.

Image

Finally get a reason for the name Powder Gangers, which is stupid beyond belief.

Image

He says he can't do shit until reinforcements arrive and then sorta drops it, so I just walk in the controlled town.

Image

I almost get blow up by a mine again.

Image

After expecting to fight a town of guys we find out the town has two guards.

Image

Image

So being like a Ninja I plan to take them down with the silenced .22

Image

Image

Fuck.

Image

Which goes so well I use the shotgun instead and sell the .22 at the next trader.

Image

Also the AI has some new scripts, when outnumbered or out gunned they have a flee mode. I suspect this is what happened to Joe Cobbs.

Image

He gets shot in the back of the head by the way.

Image

After fixing a rifle which I don't use, I notice this building from the intro!

Image

Image

Which has a courier who was shot in the head with a note like mine, but he was transporting fluffy dice.

Image

Nothing in here...

Image

:O FROM THE TRAILER OMG

Image

Now this I like we can fix it using a skill check for Repair - 65 , Science - or Parts - 3x Scrap Metal, 2x Sensor Modules and 1x Scrap Electronics. . Of course I am not high enough for Repair or Science so I need the parts.

Image

Image

Image

Which I also do not have.

Image

Fast travel to GoodSprings, in were I buy Electronic Scrap and steal some Scrap metal. Since I am one Sensor Module short I look around the entire bloody town.

Image

In which I find Victors house (the robot that saved us), for a robot he has a chair/bed/coffe/other human shit. Which is something else I add the to the creepy list.

Image

After to long a Sensor Module is found in a caravan, so back to Primm to activate the robot!

Image

Image

Which disappears....

Image

And appears like in by far one of the most creepy ways. Welcome to ED-E who is a bitchin companion, who not only can carry stuff, fight enemies is also a mobile workbench and ammo making kit. This is a lot early then a main mission companion when compared to Fallout 3.

Image

Image

Image

The wheel tab is nice, and adds a lot more options then Fallout 3.

Image

Also get a bitchin perk

Image

Image

FLY MY PRETTY FLY

Image

In the Sheriffs hut they be dead, so clothes are borrowed out of respect.

Image

Image

Image

Oh yeah Primm has a roller-coaster.

Image

On which ED-E shoots the crap out of an dude I cant see.

Image

Image

Onwards to the mission marker, which is in Vikki & Vance Hotel.

Image

Image

Well its shorten that what I planned, its 1am and a work night and there is still 250 more pics to go through for the session I played.

Next Update!: Flying Machines

Also what was your favourite Location in Fallout 3?

Favourite Fallout 3 location eh? Well, DC was fun, and I liked the Brotherhood's Citadel too (the Pentagon).

My favorite FO3 location was the place I spent the most time and decorated with over 50 Teddy bears; my house in Megaton. :-)

i kinda liked the area round the Washington Monument... the trenches and amount of super mutants realy made it a credible challenge. :)

Fallout: New Vegas is NOT an "FPS" in the classical sense. It's an RPG that takes place in first (or third) person that just happens to have guns. It's by far a character interaction and looting simulator. You'll spend hours talking to people and even more hours looking through abandoned buildings for boxes and stuff to take and sell. Running around shooting anything that moves will get you killed fast.

I'm pretty sure you can refer to FO3/NV simply as "FPSRPG", furd.

But yes it is definitely not a simple fps.

People actually care about specifics of genre?

Huh. I only classify things into "guns/adventures" and "sports", sports being something I completely avoid.

Flying Machines!
Spoiler! :
What horrors lay inside?

Image

Oh, its a friendly place. Johnson Nash rocks up and says Hai!

Image

And explains a bit about ED-E which is grand.

Image

Nash is another trader who also runs the courier company, so we pump him for info.

Image

Image

Heh, that explains the guy with the fluffy dice.

Image

He also says that we were chosen for the job as the last guy bailed.

Image

Which is odd to say the least.

Image

Oh and he saw Mr CheckerSuit, but we need to talk to the Deputy to get more info.

Image

What is never mentioned is were he is located, yet somehow we know.... Anyway we look around the place a bit

Image

Bitchin car, wonder why its here?

Image

After asking around it seems this robot might have some info.

Image

Its an interesting story none the less but ill spoiler it as its mostly unrelated lore. which breaks the main spoiler so deal with it.

Image


Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

But a machine gun is mentioned!

Image

The case only brings up an amusing info card, but nothing else. I assume the gun is in the trunk, but I don't care much for submachine guns anyway so I drop it and leave.

Image

Everyone is armed and there is nothing of value left so we head back out and to the other casino, in which the deputy is being held hostage or something. (of which I have no pictures. Le Sigh)

Image

The fight is a lot easier then what it should be with ED-E as enemies make him the top priority and he does decent damage, but its not like he can set anything on fire.

Image

Image

Is it wrong to love a robot?

Image

In comparison all I can do is a headshot

Image

The Deputy is in the kitchen just chilling really.

Image

Which after passing a speech check tells us were Mr CheckeredSuit is.

Image

He is also asked to be set free. Also in the background ED-E is killing 2 convicts on the floor above me.

Image

And helps us to fight!

Image

Well, he would only slow us down. ( In all honestly there was another speech check in which he joins your side for the rest of the building, but fearing the AI and a human companion I chose not to.)

Image

Also the convicts carry a lot of Dog meat, which is odd.

Image


Fixed an elevator.

Image

In the middle of fighting level 4 is hit. Which goes to guns, repair, speech and lock picking.

Image

Educated is also picked for its massive use.

Image

At the top floor a Convict is double teamed

Image

Image

Image

The rollercoaster leads left and up a massive ramp.

Image

It is here out of all places my first death occurs, attempting to go on the rail resulted in me clipping through it and breaking all my bones.

Image

They don't have Safety Officers in the future? For Shame.

Image

I also learn that the rollercoaster leads down, something that was missed before.

Image

The Deputy is chilling inside again, who almost gets shot. But he mentions that there needs to be a Sheriff in Pimm

Image

But only if he is a homeboy.

Image

Peace Dog.

Image

Sub-Quest Time!

Image

The game makes you chose between the NCR who will implore martial law or an ex-sheriff who is locked up in a NCR prison. The break the dude out of prison option is chosen.

The closest point from fast travel is the Powder Gangers hideout, in which more sleep is grabbed.

Image

Badarse plane!

Image

Image

The hut has some decent loot.

Image

The railway the Powder Gangers is crossed.

Image

The prison is comes into view.

Image

Image

Once again, I don't think of any plan so we walk right in.

Image

Bypassing all the advanced security.

Image

The caravan has a really weird smell to it.

Image

Primm could use one of these signs.

Image

Oh shit.

Image

To late of course I realise this is a Powder Gangers base.

Image

But despite being hated we are not shot, and he happily tells us more info.

Image

We are forced to pay 100 caps to get in.

Image

Well, this is easy now to find the Sheriff.

Image

Image

Unique dialogue

Image

This is Eddie who runs the place now. Who is not the person we need.

Image

Image

I then run around a lot trying to figure out were the marker leads to. Turns out I walked right past him.

Image

Who is somewhat corrupt.

Image

Image

Of course though he wants it to by the book, which means we are forced to up the highway to the Main NCR base to get a pardon for him so he can be an official Sheriff.

Image

Starvation and Dehydration are a small but ever present annoyance.

Image

More Convicts die.

Image

Might as well check out the Highway Patrol, which is totally not run over.

Image

BURN BABY BURN DISCO INFERNO!

Image

It's really hard to see but there is a dead guy locked in a cage with 5 praying mantis. Its a cool scene that adds to the atmosphere.

Image

Which after all that has crap loot so we leg it and spot in the very distance, something blurry.

Image

Is that? OH GOD

Image

I really hate ants, Fallout 3 had them up the butt and all they ever did was soak up bullets and spray fire. So not going near that.

A scorpion attempts an ambush.

Image

Image

I have seen Prickly Pear plants in real life, and this is a crap version.

Image

Check this cool building out, which I have a good shot for unlike two mission casinos.

Image

Decent Loot in the Gun Case

Image

Ooh, another pileup

Image

Image

In which a roaming trader is found.

Image

Water is purchased but nothing else.

This truck was carrying two cars. Stacked. Wtf.

Image

A cool statue is seen.

Image

In which some lore is explained to how the NCR came to be so huge.

Image

Who all the NCR troops respect.

Image

Now to find a pardon for the Sheriff. Off topic, but I love how people are actually building new things, adds a lot more atmosphere then Fallout 3.

Image

Image

Love the posters.

Image

After talking to Major Knight he suggests to go to Ranger Jackson to help him.

Image

They can print posters and paint signs but not fix there dunny? I think they need to work out some prioritys.

Image

Ranger Jackson looks like a boss! He needs some animals killed on the road.

Image

But we still do not have pardon.

Image

Martini please, shaken not stirred.

Image

Cass bitches to us, which opens a quest to see the Caraavans (its spelled odd)

Image

Image

Inspiration!

Image

Ranger Ghost is meet, who gives us a quest to spy on something in Nipton.

Image

I then realise that we were supposed to talk Major Knight all along.

Image

Who has a speech check

Image

Image

Image

Rushing off to tell Meyers the good news goes well.

Image

Level 5 is hit, which I don't have a shot for, I assume most of it went to guns and lockpicking.

Image

Whilst we are in the area the critters that are blocking the road need to be removed like scorpions or geckos.

Image

OR BIG ANTS!

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Fuck Ants.

Image

Note: The ants AI got buggered up so they all stood there.

Image

It was a bloodbath

Image

Image

Image

Well, ants are a lot easier then I have ever remembered them.

Image

Oh well, Ranger Jackson thinks we are brilliant.

Image

Which in turn leads to a Service Rifle and packed lunches!

Image

Image

Also the gun has both normal ammo and armour piercing, so this shall be exciting.

Image

Now then next quest! Which has the main question, and the sub quest so two birds with one stone!

The original pictures are uploaded so you can actually read them.

Next Update:Two Birds With One Stone.
Heh, big update is big. This was still from yesterdays play session. I have learned that I need to take more pics of what important.

Anyway, what was your favourite gun in Fallout 3? Be it the Lincoln Repeater, The fabled Railway Gun or perchance The Chinese Pistol?

Improvements? Suggestions? Yell at me here :)

I want to see how you react to Ceasar's Legion since all of my meeting s with the Vulpes Inculta ended up with a golf club in his skull

Favorite GUN in FO3 now? Vengeance, by far. When I found that baby in the Deathclaw cave, I nearly came. It mows down ANYTHING without any trouble. It was my main weapon for the rest of the game. I also used the Victory Rifle to kill stuff at range, and the Xuanlong Assault Rifle was backup in case I ever ran out of ECPs for Vengeance. I also carried around a melee weapon, and a few other guns, just in case. It's normal to carry around 100+ pounds of guns, right...?

Heh, when it comes to guns it takes a lot to make me change what my default weapon is. In NV for instance I either use a plasma rifle or a 10mm pistol. It takes a lot to make me change from using those.

For Fallout 3, again it was probably a plasma rifle, but when I played Broken Steel I enjoyed the Tesla Cannon a fair amount.

For Fallout 3, it was whatever the hell you get upon leaving the Vault because that was just before I ragequit the game.

New Vegas, definitely the Ranger Sequoia or All-American. Damn, those guns are fine.
