Gary? Gary....


Gary!!!



Still running around doing my thing Gunny is the best companion ever! I don´t even like to have someone following me around but I´m so glad I gave him a chance

The Firelance Event happened a few days ago in Hecate's game. This time I actually heard it coming. It has the same sound as incoming artillery. I looked up just in time to see the black trail of smoke, and then the explosion in mid-air. It scattered over a huge area though. I had to disable the trees and grass with the TT and TG commands to find all the power cells. Even then I barely found the Firelance itself.

Not that Hecate will ever use it. She's a riflewoman, not an energy pistol user. But it now has a place of honor among the trophies on her desk at home.

That´s how I experienced the Event™ too only I didn´t think that was it at the moment


Forgot to mention. Yesterday I looked a little closer in one of the trucks by the Nuka-Cola factory. Lo and behold; 13 regular bottles and one Quantum that I have been running past all this time!

Fixed.

Congrats!!

Location?
Number of Hours in?

Mirocu- I know the feeling. I have had skill books sit for 200 hours before I saw them right under my nose.

What´s funny is the same thing happened on the north-south going road that runs past L. Lamplight; a truck by the side of the road I never bothered to check out until that fateful day when I jumped down on a whim and found a Quantum!

Hiding in plain sight is indeed the most efficient method

It was northwest of Robco, and straight north fromTenpenny Tower. There is a little power substation with a semi truck and trailer next to it. It was right outside of that. Oh, it has a name - VAPL-84 power station.

Let's see, it was 17 hours into Hecate's game. Though of course I played Molly's entire game without ever having the Firelance™ happening, and that was 72 hours. I am not sure how many other characters I have played since it has happened the last time. My guess is that it probably has been well over a hundred hours, maybe two hundred.


You have to leave no truck unturned in this game!

VAPL-84, ah yes a nesting hive of scum and villainy where Yao Guai love to roam. I am forever having to eradicate those nasty beasts down there. Great to see the Firelance™ finally happen after that long wait. There is nothing worse than the acceptance that luck is against one particular character.

I think I am going to, just because I can't stand not seeing it - then reload the save beforehand and play it out as I normally would.

My roleplay has a lot more Dr. Braun in it than the game highlights anyway. I noticed a whole lot of computer entries that mentioned Braun, he did a lot of dabbling around pre-war in the game - so in MY game I come across a lot more he has done that affects the player; including Braun's G.E.C.K. having been used in creating environments and simulations that the player may stumble into in their travels.







Who is Gunny?







Holy Cow, another trick I need to remember !!!!







Yes, I am a looter at heart - know the contents of every available item in the vanilla game, lol.







They have stopped attacking my character with the Animal Friend perk; fight any enemies around with the second level of that perk - it is so hard to kill them now, yet their meat is so awesome! Misa is torn between need of the meat and guilt she is killing an animal not in defense of herself. Like killing deer or bunnies in RL or something.

This is Gunny

Aha! A mod, no wonder I didn't recognize the name, lol.

You have the answer right there! It is the GECK that is spitting out the Yao Guai into the wasteland. Misa knows that killing them is only part of the simulation.

By the way that is a really cool idea you came up with regarding Braun. It really helps to mold the role play into whichever direction you wish to take it.

Yes, he is very active in my roleplay, and is a good explanation for why my modded homes look so clean and well kept - unbombed, lol.

200.000 bottle caps!

Yup! Today I reached my goal! And here´s the proof!

Next up: 300.000

Very cool! That's wonderful, Mirocu. I wouldn't doubt you about proof, you've been at that game for awhile.

I have reached a sort of milestone, too. Cho Zen-Wahn has just got to Rivet City. None of mine have ever been here before, and I'm about to go in there now, I'm sure it'll be mind-blowing!

Funny story. When Cho initially got there, he had no idea how to get in. Could not find its entrance. Walked all the way around the ship. No bridge. Finally we found a short platform bridge to cross, but it led to a door with a Very Hard lock. We were out of ideas.

Finally, the thought occurred: wasn't there some sort of intercom up on top of that ruined building?

XD

Awesome, Renee! You´ll have a blast in Rivet City!


I also was a bit lost when I first got there, btw. Couldn´t find the entrance either...

I am sure it confused a lot of people, while others figured it out on-the-spot.

The thing is, intercoms don't actually work most of the time. So Cho simply looked at it, shrugged, and tried to figure out how the heck to get onto that thing! I actually spent two entire play-sessions trying to get onto RC, not having any luck, exploring the area for any clues, etc. He went in Jefferson Memorial, too. Not at all like it is now in 2015!

You have more money than Croesus!

Wow, my first time to Rivet City I walked right up to the platform across the carrier and used the intercom!

Yeah, I had no trouble with the bridge either. The Replicated Quest, however, was trouble for me. The underwater door you see, very dangerous, you go first...


Ha! I have no doubt either. Mirocu was crazy enough to aim for 100k, so I have noooo doubt about him and 200k.

Anyway, congrats Mirocu!!

Yeah, congrats to me for my OCD!




Hey, it rhymed!

WOO HOO! I used to keep my savings in my desk, lol.






That first bridge is to Doc Peterson's, lol. I had the same experience when I first went to Rivet City - didn't notice the intercom at first or realize what it was. Had to ask my son how to get on board, lol.







I went that way twice, after that I waited to do the quest till I could pick that 100 lock Renee was talking about.

All that was on the 360 where I couldn't just "console open" the door, lol. This is my very first game on the PC, and I've been kind of exploring the things I can do with the console that I never could before - like toggling clipping to get out of being stuck, etc.

I even started exploring a few places that required keys - a few times that messed me up; because in FO3 there are several that automatically update a quest when you enter them; sometimes skipping parts of a questline to do it; which I absolutely don't want to do.

Yesterday I sneaked into the Presidential and Rock Tunnels for the BS DLC. The Presidential was empty, but not the Rock Tunnel. In the Rock Tunnel, immediately the tunnel was filled with BoS in their power armor running - so I backed out real quick; scared to death to miss any of that BS questline, it is such a good one.
