Oh okay, it's not just my game, then. A friend told me not all places respawn.

Love those character pics. I want Tomoe's outfit.



You must have missed this. Over at Beth's forums there was a discussion about ... I don't remember what the heck it was about. I think we were talking about World of Warcraft, and at some point Pseron made a list of terms that he's heard so often they "make my teeth grind". Avatar, toon, tank, buff ... I don't remember them all. We're not making fun of Pseron, we're making fun of all the WoW geeks who actually use these terms day in and day out.



Sure, why not. I don't have my PC yet, but ... soon ....

Get the PC first, dear. Until then you shall not pass! ... into the world of modding

I´m glad I installed the mod that respawned cells. Thanks to that I got the mole race back!! I didn´t think it brought that back too but apparently it did. I watched them from afar today and I must say it was quite entertaining. Either mole rat won every other race so it was very even. I didn´t kill any of the raiders this time, I think it´s nice to have some activity left in the game

My main goal today though was rescavvin´ Red Racer factory, but I amassed so many raider and Talon armor I instead decided to head to Rivet City to offload some of it, if not all, to avoid getting overencumbered inside the factory. As it turned out, I ran into some more enemies along the river bank and thus overencumberance was unaviodable anyway.

It is from the Mothership Zeta dlc. There is a suit of samurai armor, helmet, and a katana. Naturally I made a mod that puts them in one of the museums, so I can use them without doing the dlc (that one is my least favorite of the Fallout 3 dlcs).

I wondered what would happen if I put Marge Overra into a search engine. There does happen to be a real Marge Overra.

http://www.scribd.com/doc/152229512/Effect...Decision-Making

I don't know about Marge N. Overra.

Marge has had better success today. She's been looking for the Vault-tec headquarters. Can't find the place, but in her search she's come across plenty of raiders and centaurs. She's got a nice stash of things to sell once she gets back to Megaton.

She also found Dukov's place. What a nasty brothel. There's nothing really there for Marge, Dukov and the girls are friendly to her, so she spent the night there. And stole a bunch of pre-war money.

!

Careful. Dukov´s a good shot and an even better one if he´s drunk

I guess Marge wrote the book on making decisions!

Yes, if you need some problem-solving, or more effective decision making, don't hesitate to call Marge Overra! Her problem-solving and decision making skills are unmatched in the tri-state area! .. Whether you need to disarm a Protectron, or are seeking ways to down some raiders, Marge is your woman!

Call or click today!

Edit: Marge N. Overra has returned to Megaton. She's done a bit of buying & selling, and now has over 400 caps after selling a couple mini-nukes to Moira. She's not sure what she's doing next; probably heading directly south.

I heard a spoiler from a friend, and he's saying I shouldn't do the Stradivarius quest yet. Marge is not strong enough. She'll be at Level 7 soon, so maybe after this level she'll take this one on.

I always keep those nukes. They´re fun to add to the collection And I vividly remember how poor I felt early on in the game. 400 caps was something I couldn´t even dream about and now I´m close to 90.000!


The quest involves lots of walking which of course is a risk when it comes to running into enemies. However there is a good reward for that quest and if she bulks up on stimmies and brings the sawed-off shotgun alongside the 10mm sub, she should do ok I think.
I don´t remember which level I was when I did it. Maybe 7 is too low. Bear in mind though that the higher level you are, the higher level your enemies are too

The upper area of the vault is just some bloatflies. But the lower levels have some really tough baddies. Just remember to shoot them in the face. It is not armored. Mines are also helpful. But it will take a bunch to stop even one. If you are creative with the computer terminals, there is a way to kill many of them without firing a shot.

Also when you are in the vault looking for the violin, look for a page of sheet music. There is one in there. Bring that back to Agatha and ask for a reward. If you do both she has a really good extra for you.

Yes!!!! Finally it happened! I finally met a Wastelander mentioning the Wasteland Survival guide!! I have waited so long for that encounter!

Oh, and today I also exceeded 90.000 caps! Less than 10K to go!

Isn't it nice to have some acknowledgment for your efforts to write that darn thing? I also like that the encounter is based on the quality of the book. If you made a bad book, the wastelander is barely holding their own against a molerat. If you made the best book they polished off a 'lurk, radscorpion, or some other big baddie.

It was awesome!! It was somewhere south-east of Fort Constantine, amongst some train wrecks by a body of water. I only heard a single shot so I investigated what it was. I didn´t see what he was shooting at but considering he was in the water, my guess is a mirelurk of some kind.


I like this too! And since I got the best possible version of the book he greeted me as his best friend Upon exiting conversation though and trying to talk to him again he blew me off like I was the plague!

I guess your fifteen minutes of fame was over!

I can't imagine having more than a thousand! Wow.

Selling Raider outfits really pays off

I´m currently following a small Outcast patrol and we´re not far from Big Town. I´m expecting to collect what they have in due course

---------

Well, I bummed out on the Outcast armor and weapon. They disappeared somewhere around Fairfax. They must have gone down one of the subway entries. I looked for them but couldn´t find them

So I was off downtown instead and currently I´m following a trail leading to the BoS outpost in the Mall. Lots of goodies has been found along the way

Marge N. Overra found Greyditch, and also found the safehouse with the beds in it. She did some exploring (running past the fire ants instead of wasting ammo on them) and found another Metro station. Down here, she's been killing the ants with her hunting rifle; there is no other option.

At some point, she decided to go back to her safehouse. She's got food & stimpacks, but if she can sleep, she can conserve all of these additional items. She left the station, running again past the fire ants, and made her way back to her safehouse.

Next morning, she left the house, and did her usual run. But there were noticably less ants on the streets! Eventually she found out why. Lots of them were dead, and she found a couple of Talon Mercs (also dead) near the Metro station.

I love mometns like this in TES, when it's obvious something has happened while my char. has been sleeping. It's cool moments like this exist in FO as well.

Nice you noticed such a thing, Renee I love it too as you very well know

--

Had a great session tonight myself. I went through unexplored parts of the Metro and collected lots of goodies to sell! I worked my way downwards, towards Anacostia station. This was a tactical choice because I was sooo weighed down from all the loot that I had to get to the nearest place in order to sell it off asap. It wasn´t a bother since I also explored uncharted areas

When I finally emerged from the depths just by Rivet City, I was so releaved (thanks, random Watch guard ) to see the old place! I really enjoyed walking up to it and in to my bed at Wetherley hotel to sleep for a few hours before the market opened up.

Personal reflection: Being forced to walk and not having the option to run was a fascinating thing. I never walk normally but when I have to do that and allow myself to take my time, it enhances the gaming experience tenfold!
It also helped to be underground for so long. I only stay above ground these days and it was such a relief to finally be out in the open again after all that time crawling through the metro.

Pics will be up shortly

I just love watching the bad guys fight each other. Like Boudica in the Metro

I love watching fights too but unfortunately there wasn´t any. Till I pulled the trigger, that is

Walking. I started a thread over at Beth about walking in TES4, I think it had a poll, as well. i've always been a walker. Lady Saga is an exception to this; she doesn't carry much weight and she's a former dancer, and she loves to run. But all my other character only run when they have to, like Karheem fleeing the city guards.

Marge is the same way, she walks a lot, only running when necessary, or if she's feeling a bit impatient, and happens to know the area around her is safe. But the Wasteland is mostly not safe for her!

Marge is in Megaton right now, but a couple days ago she met a 'scientist' down in the Marigold Metro. Turns out, he's the next step in the Fire Ant quest (Those!) but Marge has not officially started this quest, since she and the boy did not get along when they met initially. So she's got Those! as a quest now, but she started it backwards!

I just realized: we can eat the fire ant's nectar to use as a resistance. I did not know this. The "scientist" is the one who pointed this out.

In other news: Deputy Weld has been destroyed, sadly. It seems every time Marge was leaving Megaton, this robotron was in a fight with somebody or something. Well, he finally got finished off, by a stupid soldier ant, of all things.

Dangit. I liked Dept. Weld. There is no option to repair him, though.
