Some more pixies

Ok, left arm´s gotta go!
Well, if you didn´t run away after telling me this I could take a look at it
They were never off in the first place!

-------------
Today I did basically two things; downloaded and installed a mod that respawn interior cells plus go to Little Lamplight to get the Wazer Wifle. Strange that I didn´t meet Biwwy before, I have been there a few times but never met him

T´is a big day today!

Cause today not only did I pass the 300 hour mark, but I also encountered Uncle Leo for the second time!
It was around the waste disposal place. I had been walking along with an Outcast patrol since Old Olney from where we went south-west and later straight west.

I saw him in the distance and mistook him for a regular mutie (not surprising, really) and shot him with my Blackhawk. Upon doing that I saw who it was and ran up to talk to him. I was afraid the Outcast patrol was gonna engage him but apparently they know he´s friendly. He even helped out killing off some Talons, but the one Outcast with a missile launcher shot at the same time, taking away a huge portion of Leo´s health.

Anyways, that´s my 72 cents for today!

GAAAAAH! How have I been missing this thread?

Cents? What are those? You mean caps right?

D´OH! *facepalm*

Some pixies

Sneak-advertising for Oblivion!
Hmm. Damaged gnome to D-4
Load list!

And an update!

Once again re-scavvin´ proves to be a good idea!

I´m currently going through L.O.B again and I have so far found lots of scrap metal, pre-war money and other goodies I apparently missed out on first time through. I´m also able to collect alotta stuff I simply couldn´t carry before because I was too weighed down on picked-up weapons and other things.

But what surprised me was that I found yet another Quantum!! It was right there on the floor for the taking! Oh, but it should be worth mentioning that this time through I´m using the Pip-Boy light

Apart from that I was also able to collect 12 regular Nuka-Colas (so far) and 4 pencils. Yes, I have just started on another collection!

T´is a big day!! Cause today I found yet another Quantum, plus the Experimental MIRV!!

I finally got around to re-revisit the Depo and get down below. This is my story in Fallout 3; I always end up forgetting to get back to collect more stuff. When I´ve sold all the first loot I always end up going out to explore new areas instead, thus missing lots o stuff!

I also got past 70.000 caps. Oh, yeah

Congrats! That mirv makes a big boom, even though you can only shoot it once or twice in the entire game.

I have the same problem with places like the National Guard Depot or the Wheaton Armory. I think the final rooms in both require a lockpicking skill of 100, which few of my characters ever got to.

Thanks! But what do you mean by only firing it once or twice? It can´t make that big of a boom that it Eradi Kates everything!


The Depo only requires that you find the holotapes. But of course that can be hard enough

Today I found a nearly completely destroyed house not far from Charnel´s house. I have obviously never discovered it before since everything was locked and otherwise untouched. The place had a couple Nuka-Colas plus one Quantum! It also had a sawed-off shotgun with some ammo and a few other stuff.
What surprised me was that the shotgun, Nuka-Colas and a few other stuff was marked as owned, meaning I lost karma for stealing. I definitely didn´t expect that.


And now some stuff I´ve collected:

99 Deathclaw hands
85 Purified Water
69 Lunchboxes (70 with my real one )
565 pre-War Money
22 pre-War Books (junk)
28 pre-War Books (real) Unfortunately I´ve sold some of these. I think I should have had at least ten more otherwise.

Oh, and I also recently got Sydney´s Ultra

Now I have to play FO3 again!

There goes my productivity....what am I talking about?I don't do anything productive anyway!

The one thing in that game,that is the bane of my bleeding existence is Metro Tunnels!

The problem is that it uses something like 8 mini-nukes per shot. Anty saved up every mini-nuke she came across, and still only had enough ammo to shoot the thing twice.

This post has been edited by SubRosa: Aug 8 2013, 04:28 PM

I knew that it took 8 per shot, but I´ve got like 60+ of them nukes. But yeah, it won´t be a shooting fest with it!

Found the last Nuka Grenade schematic today, btw!

Well I have so much to write, so much that I've already done with my two Fallout 3 characters. Problem is, I've got to go to bed soon. Got a big day tomorrow; we're actually going to D.C.

I may as well introduce my two characters. Start there, I suppose.

Cho Zen~Wahn is an Asian male. I have heard that in Fallout 2, the PC is the "chosen one", but the name of my first character happens to be pure coincidence. Cho's got a clean cut, Bruce Lee kind of look to him. I'll get a screen shot eventually.
With Cho, I put a lot of points into Unarmed Combat, because I wasn't sure how good I'd be with a gun. He's also a Scientist (this is just cool) and a Doctor. All of this makes sense to me, since Cho's dad is also a scientist and a doctor. I forget what other skills I boosted for Cho, but he's got the Daddy's Boy perk. I think he's Level 3.

My other character is a Hispanic female, named Marge N. Overra. Get it? Margin of error. Yuk yuk. I went to New Jersey a few days ago, and I kept thinking that I'd like have a female character, so here she is. Compared to Cho, I also gave Marge a lot of points in Medicine and Scientist, but I boosted Small Guns instead of UC. I gave her the Quick Learner and Gun Nut perks, too, and have subsequently boosted Repair, Explosives, Speech, and Melee Combat most of all. Marge is Level 4.

I am playing FO3 on Easy difficulty, since I'm a n00b. I also do a few things differently in this game, compared to TES. I use the compass, for instance, sometimes with the quest marker on. This makes sense to me--the PC's got a Pipboy on his/her arm at all times, and it's got a ton of information on it. I like to think my characters are constantly checking the compass out, therefore.

I also use the Crosshair (noooo!) But hey. This game's all about survival. In TES, I feel the crosshair is cheating (for me) but I have no prob using it in FO3. I can't aim worth a damn without it while using a gun.

I believe Cho was helping some kid get rid of some fire ants last I saw him. And Marge is doing a bunch of minor quests for Moira Brown: the latest is killing a bunch of mole rats her a stick which is supposed to repel them.

I did not think I'd enjoy FO3 as much as I have been.

Weclome to the Capital Wasteland, Renee! Finally you got started on it!!

Lets see if you can beat me on this: 320 hours (so far) on one character

---------

As for myself, I´ve kept doing what I always do; shootin´ lootin´ and sellin´. I´m up to 80.000 caps right now and I´m doing my best to collect as many shotgun shells as possible as I feel the regular shotgun in Point Lookout will be one of my main weapons there.

-----

Just found the Miss Launcher. Or rather, just picked it up as I found it more than a year ago. First I thought it was a spelling mistake but in the back of my head I knew it could also be a unique variant. So I looked it up on the wiki and sure enough, it was

Welcome to the Capital Wasteland! Moira's quests are a lot of fun, and will take you to a lot of places before they are done. I take it that Cho is in Greyditch, slugging it out with the giant, fire-breathing ants? That is a tough one, especially for a hand-to-hand character! But the reward is a good one (a stat boost).

You also may have noticed that you can only pick up Galaxy News Radio in the DC ruins. If you go to Chevy Chase, you can find radio station and help the d.j. fix his relay. Not the easiest quest, but afterward you can hear GNR everywhere.

Here is a map of the DC ruins, showing how you can get from one area to another. It can be really confusing, and frustrating, trying to get around without it. Its from an original that I found somewhere on the web, and I added some places to it that were missing (you can tell by the slight difference in the fonts).

The Fallout Wikia is the best source for info on all the Fallout games. Perks, locations, items, etc..., its all there.

mirocu: 80,000 caps? Nice!



Awesome, thank you. Thanks both of you. Yes, Cho is in Greyditch, you are correct. One question: is there such a thing as a flame-resistant suit? Those fire ants are frickin' dangerous.

Marge N. Overra cleared Farragut Station, and has now found um.... Tepid Sewers, killing more mole rats. I like Moira's quests, to be honest. I'm not ready for anything really tricky, yet. Marge has run into some super-mutants, those things SUCK. OMG, I thought she was gonna die.

She has died once. I let it slide, though, I need to learn stuff before I get too serious. I think Cho's game will be pure DiD, though.

One more thing, good LORD I get the shivers while playing this game! Marge is creeping around TS. I darken my TV screen if she's underground sometimes (just like I do in TES games), so when a mole rat starts running toward her, I can't help but get goosebumps & shivers in my head!

I hope I never become jaded of this game. I think maybe I'll become a little jaded perhaps. But right now, even a black ant or a vicious dog can get my adrenaline going!

I don't think there is any armor that makes you fire resistant. But if you finish the quest you get a 25% flame resistance! I know not much help now though. Those fire ants are so darn tough, I usually avoid that quest until my characters are higher level, and have lots and lots of ammunition. Mines are also very good against them. Same with grenades. Finally, the Entomologist perk really makes a big difference in that quest (it gives you +50% damage against giant insects).

Oh okay, thanks. Having a fire resistance will help, actually. There was some humanoid who threw fire at Marge the other day. May have been a flamethrower. Whatever it was, it's clear that ants aren't the only thing to worry about, so far as fire goes. Fire is more dangerous in FO3 than in TES.

Marge went back to Megaton for a few days. Brought some scrap metal to Walter, who runs the Water Processing facility. Um.... she also slept with Nova at Moriarty's, and brought her new dog (Dogmeat) with her from Megaton to Silver's ranch. She's walked the dog from Silver's place to Megaton and back at least 3x now. Dogs seem tougher in this game than in Skyrim, but I don't wanna lose Dogmeat to some stupid mutant or whatnot.

Oh, there was a robot running around in the wasteland firing lasers at Marge. The robot claimed she was an intruder or something. Marge managed to get above the robot (on a boulder) and then threw a couple grenades at it. The first one landed too far away, but the second one landed right near the robot BOOM! and down it went! That was an awesome moment.

Marge is doing yet another quest for Moira Brown. Now she's supposed to get into a place filled with mirelurks. She killed one of these before the quest started; they seem kinda slow, but I'm sure they're dangerous if Marge gets too close.

Apparently the Mirelurk lair is in the middle of the Potomac? That's what the Pipboy is saying. Marge bought a radiation suit, just in case she has to get into some radioactive water.

The rad suit is not the best armor though... Don´t forget to pop some Rad-Away! And don´t follow Sub´s link! Stay away from the wiki, you know this, Renee!!

Meself I just re-rescavved National Archives and found some very nice left-overs since my last visit. Among the finest was some pre-War Books (real!) and some pre-War money. Aside from this I have little else to tell. I´m getting ready for Lookout which I will install some time in September I think.
