Now I know why I find Lookout so creepy; Renee lives there!

I prefer Lincoln´s over the regular. Got a mod that reduces the mag to five shots for that gun as that is more "realistic" (sorry!) considering the heavy caliber the weapon had irl. Will still collect the regular one though of course

you guys are cracking me up. I've never even been to Point Lookout! ... you have me curious though, what it's like there. Perhaps some day this fall we'll take a day trip to Point Lookout.

Do you want me to put all my PL updates (including pixies) in a spoiler tag, Renee? I don´t wanna ruin anything for ya

Oh no. You are fine. Even if I read a spoiler, chances are I won't remember it by the time I get to PL.

Hey I got a question for y'all. Marge is up to Level 11, and I know her game will cap at 20 without Broken Steel. What exactly does this mean? Will perk choices keep happening, or does this just stop?

Ok


All perks will stop at 20 as well, so choose wisely

Edit: Should you install and do Broken Steel though, perks come back.

Okay thanks. Wow, this means each character really becomes kinda specialized with the limited perk choices and level cap.

I just chose the Animal Friend perk. Marge recently got attacked by this big dino-looking creature with an Oriental name. I forget what it was called. Anyways, that thing would have probably killed her, had she not had a safe place to run at the time (not to mention a homemade Nuka-Grenade) The AF perk is supposed to make this huge enemy 'friendly' to Marge.

That was probably a Yao-Gai. They are mutated bears. Nasty critters. The Animal Friend perk will make them friendly to you.

Here is a friendly one beside the AntAgonizer. That one was the sidekick of the trader who is in the lead of the group. Anty decided to tag along with them for a while.

Oh yes, that's what it was, a yao-gai. Sucker frightened the heck out of me and Marge.

Hey, let me ask you all a question. Marge is in Vault-tec headquarters, and there's supposed to be a key that opens a final door. We've been all over Vault Tec, looked through a safe, multiple containers, dead robots. Nothing. I'm starting to get bored of walking around in circles.

I'm not asking for a spoiler, I am gonna ask for more of a hint. Like, don't say "the key is in X", I'm looking for "look up as you walk"or something vague.

I dislike blatant spoilers. Feel like such a dummy ... OHHH that's where it was? *facepalm* But a hint makes me feel like I'm still using at least some of my wits.

There is no key to get into the mainframe. You have to access the three system operations terminals throughout the HQ to open up the door. One is on the first floor, and the other two are upstairs.

I was thinking of taking Animal Perk too. I should have


Amyhoo...

Today I got my ass handed to me, and it wasn´t even on a silver platter. I was crossing a bridge with a roof not far from Haley´s Hardware store. There was some fine loot on it btw. As I peeked into the gloom ahead of me I could see movement, so I loaded up the Dart Gun and fired at one Brawler and one Creeper.

They started to sprint for me and suddenly I could hear gun shots. From behind! When I turned around I could see another Creeper and a big Tracker with an axe coming at me!! And I only had the D-B shotgun ready!

Long story short, I pulled up my trusty Vulcan minigun and let the hail of bullets rip their torsos apart from their legs. But man, I´m really taking damage here! And yet my armor is at full condition!

Those Stimpaks are truly worth thier weight in gold now.

Edit: Hold on... They have no weight!

The enemies in Point Lookout do extra damage, above and beyond what their weapons normally do. I think it is 15 extra points per hit. There are several mods to reduce it to normal though.

Think I´m gonna keep it the way it is and instead deal with the newly found difficulty through other means

Oh, I have a mod that gives me a house there! Should be neat Haven´t activated it yet but I will tonight. Then we´ll see how long it takes for me to get to it

I love the Animal Friend perk. Did a couple hours of gaming before bed last night and Marge did happen to encounter a yao-gai, which looked at her with disinterest before going back to graze upon whatever yao-gais graze upon. That was really cool, but then Marge came across a group of raiders: 3 to 1 this battle was. She started firing with her lazer pistol, but then remembered the yao-gai.

Ran back down the hill, and guess what? Now she had a friend to help her against the raiders! A really big, mean friend!

How's Point LoOkout, Sir mirocu? ...

Dammit! Now I really wish I had taken the Animal Perk! And there´s no way for me to get it nowSHUT UP, RENEE!!


Ooh, is it Sir now?

Well, I´m actually less excited about it at this point. I sorta miss the Capital Wasteland; the swamps doesn´t really do it for me. But I can´t go back now, oh no! I have a house to find and about a dozen quests to finish! That´s actually what makes me cringe, I´m so not used to doing quests anymore. I just wanna roam around and find things and yeah I know, I can ignore the quests but it doesn´t seem right to ignore them all

You're on PC, though, is there a CK you can 'fix' this with? It is seriously cool getting wildlife on our side.



Yes. Sir mirocu. You have been knighted so far as I'm concerned, pard'ner. I'm psyched to go to PL, but even more psyched for Pittsburgh. Can't wait to 'waste' some enemies there.

I have been doing about 75% wandering, 25% quests with Marge. I under-estimated the size of the wasteland, it's larger than I initially thought. Marge is heading north to Vault 92, she is nowhere near it, but at some point (on a hilltop) she turned around and looked and the Monument and Capitol were these tiny little buildings. We're used to seeing them from the Megaton area, you see.

Well, today I investigated a prison camp, a crashed jet and a trapper´s schack. I was so surprised when I went into the little house as I could hear the heavy footsteps of a Super Mutant! It turned out to be a Scrapper, though. That skinny, little bugger appeared to be just as heavy!

Tons of loot and not enough merchants to sell it to so for now I store the rest in my footlocker on the boat.

T´night was a busy night, I tells y´all!

I finally got around to investigate the burning mansion which btw is very close to the pier where I got off the boat

Turned out there was a ghoul inside, a somewhat fancy ghoul, and he was in dire need of some help defending the mansion from intruders! I ran around shooting them all and barricated the west and east wing so they couldn´t get in and then helped him, along with his two dogs, to shoot off the last ones. When finally we had a chance to talk he turned out to be pretty rude, especially for someone who just had his butt saved!

Anyways, I did get a fancy new perk called Superior Defender! My second perk in Lookout, actually. The first one made me better at killing ferals.


Oh, I almost forgot. I found Renee!!!!!!

!!! That's her alright!

Playing Fallout 3 today I managed my most pathetic death in the game yet. After killing a bunch raiders on a bridge, near Vault 101, I then managed to fall off it. After that the only thing to do is restart.
