I have to prepare; Point Lookout is next!  Urk, I always dread going to Point Lookout until it is all over and I'm just going there to get my armor repaired by Haley. I think itīs fun to make short trips there and it has become a tradition when I move back home from the woods  It gives me the creeps,

It took a while to get used to those new stronger enemies; but if they are there right from the start you kind of get used to them from the start and they aren't such a shock to the system.

"We've all heard about Blondie.
The rumors.
The legends.
The lies.
Supposedly she was a lowly courier traveling to New Vegas to deliver a package, but high roller Benny from the Strip shot her in her half-shaved head while she was dead drunk sleeping on the Goodsprings graveyard, because he badly wanted that package for himself. Then he had her buried on that same graveyard. Buried alive.
But Blondie rose from her grave.
And walked over the entire Mojave to return a headshot. However, unlike Benny, she didn't miss. If rumors are to be believed, she then threw Benny's severed head in a toilet and put a cigarette in his silenced mouth.
That's when we heard about Blondie for the first time - making a fuss like that, and in a middle of the Strip, can hardly go unnoticed.
But that was just the beginning. For some time there's been silence and nobody knew what happened to the vengeful courier until we heard rumors about a blond girl traveling the desert, making a living as a bounty hunter. An ex-ranger died, as did the notorious Fiend leader, not to mention the cannibal doctor and many, many others...all of them were without their forefingers and by then it was widely known that fingers serve as a proof of death for Randall's bounty hunting company. Word gets around quickly in the Mojave and these fingerless-victims had only thing in common - Blondie.
Something has gone wrong with the bounty hunting company which she worked for, her employer has been killed or kidnapped, details are not known to most of us. However, not long after, ALL members of a rival bounty hunting company, led by the nefarious Judge, were found slaughtered in their base. And when I say slaughtered, I mean slaughtered. There was a chainsaw at work, no doubt. Not to mention that the Judge's head was found atop his desk, a cigar in his mouth. Coincidence?
Know that - Blondie's out there, in the desert, shooting raiders, fiends, legionnaires, feral ghouls and anyone else dumb enough to try and kill her. A new bounty hunting office, sponsored by the NCR, lately opened its doors in Boulder City and I bet that we'll soon hear fresh bloody rumors about Blondie and that more people will lose their trigger fingers."

That replacement in the Capital Wasteland must be when youīve done the MQ, right? Cause I still have only regular ones there. No, it just happened when I installed Point Lookout. Suddenly the super mutant spawns all had 2 overlords; and every ghoul spawn had a couple reavers. If you have had Point Lookout installed from the start (as in the GOTY game) - you won't notice the difference because they are there from the start. But the first time I played Point Lookout was on the 360; I bought it as soon as it came out. As soon as I installed it; the first place I found a super mutant overlord was on that road just past the Citadel on my way to the boat dock for Point Lookout, iirc.

See, it's good to have Blondie back. I have to send my old PS3 to Slovenia so I can get all my old Oblivion characters back. mALX: this is off-topic but I love when you say "urk".  That's my favorite mALX word. And now for some Cho Zenwahn  *click* Pipboy App ON. Date: Monday, 11.10.77, 2:33 AM
Just arrived at some sort of .. I don't know. Ruins, or something. There were some super mutants up ahead, and I started to take them with my rifle, but then somebody else shot them. Don't know who. But my Pipboy is indicating that there's some friendly folks up ahead. Well, it's good, that's good, I should say. I got the benefits of those super mutants. Each one had a rifle compatible to mine, and a box of ammo to go with it. Lucky, because my current rifle's about to fall apart. Break.
But anyway, I'm finally doing it. Looking for my father, that is. Getting a late start, but I think the old man is okay. He's tougher than he looks. Now that I know where he is, there shouldn't be much problem finding him, as long as my Pipboy keeps working. unidentified female voice: Look, I don't know who you are, but you don't belong here. The super mutants have overrun our brothers at the galaxy news radio building, and we're headed there to back them up. Wait. Damn [censored], let me explain. unidentified female voice: You can tag along if you want, but keep your head down. Try not to do anything stupid.What? You want me to tag along, while you do all the work? Suits me fine. Who the hell are you, anyways? unidentified female voice: I'm sentinel lions of the lion's pride. Her name is Sentinel Lions, Pipboy app.unidentifed female voice, now identified as Sentinel Lions: What?Ahh, um... Sentinel Lions: I'm on your side, at least I hope so. Sure you are, I can see that. I mean my Pipboy is seeing that... I mean. Uhh. So Galaxy News Radio is somewhere nearby, eh? Sentinel Lions: There aren't a lot of safe places in the ruins right now. But the Galaxy News Radio building is sort of our safe place in the storm. Unfortunately, the building's been hit pretty hard lately. We're backup. So if there are no more questions, we really need to move out.Hey, don't let me stop you. Let's rock 'n' roll. *click* Pipboy App OFF, Date: 11.10.77, 4:39 AM *click* Pipboy App ON, Date: 11.10.77, 10:34 AM
Hee hee hee! Just killed the KING of all super mutants! That sucker was huge! He slammed me with this hammer the size of a desk, and boy did I feel it! But then I figured I'm much smaller than the king, all I had to do was run into a doorway. [censored] couldn't get me then. Break.
And look at the arsenal on the king. A pistol. Rounds of ammo, including energy cells. A sack full of bottle caps. Four grenades, a missile, and a missile launcher. Oh boy. I'd better hide all this stuff away somewhere safe. Looks like I won't be hurting for weaponry anytime soon. Break.
Now, time to find my father. Wish me luck.

This battle to the GNR was one of my favorites in FO3; and I really like how you did Cho's interactions with the BoS here!

Behemoths are fantastic fun. I remember my first battle with one away from GNR. I opened the cage and POW, the sucker jumped me from behind. Lucky Dogmeat came to the rescue and gave his life on my behalf. Unfortunately the little guy could not survive the 16th hit from the fire hydrant and finally succumbed, disappearing slowly to that big doghouse in the sky. After 2 minutes of combat I managed to kill the Behemoth. And brought my fav guy back with the puppies perk. *** I wonder how Beth will change things up this time. Creatures should not just be bullet sponges at high level, but have different methods of attack. It would be cool to see Albinos try to pick you up in their claws before they wack you with their stingers. Sure would make combat fun! This post has been edited by Winter Wolf: Oct 24 2015, 07:45 AM
