Aww, something prevented the postie from making their appointed rounds.

A pink flamingo on a stick! How iconic!

Radiation Storm looks like a Persephonic Paradise. . . albeit probably tough for Hecate.

Now serving headshots. Hurry for the two for one Hecate special!

Hello and Goodbye are pulse-quickening, sobering and fabulous shots!

mALX: I liked Hecate's "mom pants" They look comfortable.

I didn't know F4 had cats either. Apparently everyone else who has played the game decided to keep them a secret.

Hecate is huge in powered armor. That is one thing I like about it in F4. It was really underwhelming in FO3. But the Power Armor is really impressive in this game.

That is a purely vanilla radiation storm. They are pretty cool, with thunder and lightning, and of course: radiation.


Acadian: It wouldn't be 'Merica without a plastic flamingo in the yard!

Thankfully Hecate has plenty of anti-rad meds. And her suit gives her a lot of good radiation protection.

What a neat looking bus!

A Rocket gas station and motorbike all ready to go.

Nuka time is a fantastic shot of Hecate at work.

Robby the Robot again.

Yup, she’s got her hard hat on.

Aww. Free Teddy!

It is both sobering and fascinating to see the detritus of what was once Boston.

Acadian: Unlike in FO3, we can now go inside the buses, which is neat. Their interiors are not separate cells, like some mods make them in FO3 either. They are part of the exterior cell the bus is in. So you can see inside and out (and shoot in and out).

The Nuka billboard is added by the Vault Girl mod, which is a work in progress, but aims to replace all the Vault Boy images with the Vault Girl.

One thing F4 does well is show a truly wrecked and broken down world, even with all the bright colors. The city areas I have been in so far are much better done than those in FO3.

I'm so glad you're enjoying FO4!

Wow, that first shot of Hecate showcases what stunning looker she is! I mean besides being pretty darn deadly.

Oh, Synth Man really does have a C3PO deer in the headlights look, doesn't he. As you say, he foolishly brought a stick to a gunfight.

Acadian: The Synths are pretty cool looking in this game. At least that model of them in those pics, which I think is the earliest and simplest one.

I wish I could find better glasses for F4 Hecate. But sadly there are not very many glasses mods, and the ones out there are not very impressive.


Hecate teams up with a medic bot

And with a subway bot

Guess who's coming to dinner?

Spaghetti

Powered up

Cryolator

Mr. Freeze

Protective equipment

The poster with the We can do it inscription in the Subway bot pic is more than appropriate for the pic.

Nice to see her teaming up with various Protectrons.

Hey, that could be ghoulified Rattler!

Guess he's not coming to dinner after all.

Hecate in Hitler's costume again! Where does she put her tiny legs in that tank?

Cryolator - that must be a new weapon in Fallout.

Hecate may not have all of the equipment on that poster but she has more than just protective armor.

Robbie the Healer!

Heh, does the Subway bot make sandwiches? I looked at Hecate’s glasses in that shot and think they look pretty good.

Eeek! Hecate’s gonna take out that ghoul dude with what looks like Loviataresque eating habits.

Spaghetti – as mALX would say. . . Ewwww!

Speaking of eating, it looks like that giant power suit has swallowed Hecate!

After she freezes a foe, can she shatter them?

Must wear protective gear – Hecate’s got that amply covered.

Lopov: Remember those skyscrapers you noted in the distance in some of the early pics, like this? Well you can indeed go up into them. Hecate has some pics from the top of one today.

I think even The Rattler would not have let himself go that badly!

Hecate might just fit both her arms and legs in the armor's torso!

The Cryolator is a new energy weapon that is locked up in Vault 111 (where you start the game). The lock is too high to pic for a low level character though. So you have to go back to get it after you level up a lot. It is incredibly powerful. Just a few seconds of cryolating is all it takes to kill a super mutant.



Acadian: I don't think I would trust any of the Fallout robots to heal me! Especially not with the buzzsaws some of them have!

I think the Subway bot makes a .38 caliber pepperoni and salami, hold the full-metal jacket!

Sadly, you cannot break part frozen foes. But they do look really neat all iced up that way. Playing Mr. Freeze is a real possibility in this game.



Hecate looks back toward Sanctuary Hills

Boston and the coast lay are over her shoulder

The city looks quite photorealistic in the first shot. Your game looks great.

As ever, I love all those signs - in this case, down in the street.

Hecate's sleek armor looks fabulous on her. Ever so much better than when that power armor swallows her.

That's nice that you can actually enter those buildings, instead of them being just another object in the distance.

Great screenshots from the skyscrapers, water looks quite clean, at least from the distance.

Some thriving flora and some dead fauna in the "street" screenies.

Good-looking red car in the last screenie. Who's the robot with a backpack?

Do unique weapons in FO4 have unique appearance like in NV or do they look the same as their generic counterparts with only different names like in FO3?

Acadian: I really like the world in general in F4. The wilderness areas look both more tangled and overgrown, and are filled with the random detritus of the old world. Rusted out cars, a broken chimney from an otherwise disintegrated house, etc... The urban scapes are just breathtaking. They are filled with narrow alleys and maze like streets, loaded to the brim with the wreckage of a dead world.

I prefer the non-powered armor look too. The PA gives a sense of being ponderous, like a bull a china shop. That is definitely not Hecate's style. That is why she rarely dons it. I mostly just wanted to see how it would look with the new black paint style.


Lopov: I remember the first time I played Mass Effect 1. In the very first mission they drop you on the surface of a planet, and there were skyscrapers and a city in the background. I immediately wanted to go to them. But I could not. The whole thing was just a painting in the background, and you could only travel in a narrow, pre-defined path. After playing so many Bethesda games, that just drove me nuts.

The robot with the backpack is Ada. She teams up with you in the main quest of the Automatron dlc, which I got roped into after responding to a distress call.

I have not played a lot, but so far the legendary weapons and armor pieces I have found look exactly the same as the normal ones. I suspect the same is true of the uniques, but I am not sure.


I restarted Hecate so I could re-order some of her stats, but most importantly so I could re do her face (it was too square-looking before)

Clearing out the old neighborhood with Codsworth

Darkness and Light

The Backbone of Night

Don't take Stan's lunchbox

Minuteman

I thought that Hecate looked great but I think I see what you mean now. She looks fabuloso! Makeovers are such fun!

Wow, Stan must have the world's best sandwich in that lunch of his for Hecate to guard it so diligently.

The cats and radiation storm are Awesome! Kudos to Bethesda for those additions, and somehow I never heard of either one till your screens!

I agree that the power armor is more impressive; but it must be hard to lug it around - make movement awkward, etc. right? It does sound protective though!

That Lexington doesn't look far off from how it looks now, lol.

I really like the more slender armor she is wearing in these shots, it looks so much easier to navigate in!

Robbie Robot isn't as pretty in this game as he was in FO3, lol.



I haven't seen these Synths yet, that looks freaky! Like Acadian said, C3PO and IRobot but with kind of an eerie urky feel to them! I take it they are the enemies, lol.



Man, that power armor makes Hecate 5X bigger! A bit too bulky to move in, it would seem.






Holy Cow, that first shot looks like a real photograph!


That is one freaky looking robot in the last shot! I take it he is Hecate's ally, though; thank goodness!




Now you're talking! She looks Awesome !!!!

I see you finally bowed to the pressure and met up with the minutemen. Makes me wonder just how linear this game is; because I know you were avoiding this scene while the game tried to shovel you into it.

That's a shame, I liked it that in New Vegas unique weaponsa actually look unique.

Hecate definitely has a different chin now. She actually looks younger.

Her b00bz are named Novatech and GO6.

The night screenshots looks like in Skyrim if it weren't for satelite arrays.

Hecate will do anything to protect Stan!

Interesting outfit on the Minuteman. I especially like the hat.

This post has been edited by Lopov: Dec 12 2016, 04:32 PM

Acadian: I am getting better with the face creation, so I took another crack at Hecate with it.

I hope it's something tasty in that lunchbox, like Mutt Chops or Mole Rat Chunks!


mALX: It is fun to see cats in a video game. They do not do much, and most just ignore you (a lot like real cats!). But sometimes you can hear them meow.

It is not that awkward. You cannot carry it though. You have to wear it to move it somewhere. When you take it off, you actually step out of it, and it stands there all on its own. You cannot pick it up for move it, unless you get in it again and walk somewhere else.

Robbie the Robot looks a little bulkier, but some have a neat glass head that you can see his parts spinning around inside of. The Protectrons are lot more dangerous than in FO3.



Lopov: I have not run across any actual unique weapons yet. But I have run across Legendary items. Those all have some kind of special ability, like extra damage to super-mutants, etc... Those look exactly like the vanilla items.

The chin and jaw line are what I worked most on to soften up her appearance.

For a while I thought her one bewb had Gog written on it, and that it was an advert for Gog.com!

I love the night sky, thanks to the Visible Galaxy 4k and Framework mod.

The tricorn hats are neat to see. I like Garvey's vest the most though, with all of its fancy golden stitching.


Unstoppable

One legged Octo-bot

Mean octo-bot!

Azura's sky

Grim sky

Working cat

Use you own

Unstoppable features not only a neat poster but it very nicely showcases Hecate’s new face.

Glad you mentioned sky in the Azura shot. Otherwise, I fear my eyes may not have gotten much beyond Hecate’s adorable little butt and thigh gap.

There is such a thing as a working cat? I thought all they were good for was supervising.

Oh my! Love the use your own brain sign!

Acadian: My cat helps me tremendously at home. No matter what I am doing, whether it is working on the computer, or unpacking groceries, or even moving to a new apartment.

That use your brain sign made me laugh out loud. It is good to see people over at Bethesda still have a sense of humor.



"Buddy, I am going to shoot you in the face!"

"Twice!"

Packing heat

Behemoth

In the end, there can be only one

Hecate has a new paint job for her armor

Lexington

Flyyyyiiinnnnn Sooooo Hiiiiiighhh!

I stand corrected. Clearly Freya is a big help!

Ready, aim, fire fire fire – literally!

Shoulder-fired power!

Oh noes. Anything that wields a fire hydrant can’t be good. . . .

In the end. . . spoken like a true Highlander.

Lexington. Yup, there’s a shovel ready urban renewal project waiting for some love.

Cool. . . flying craft she is crouched on.

Acadian: Lexington is really cool place. Filled with lots of alleys and high-rise buildings. You can literally go from rooftop to rooftop in some places. And there is a raised highway going over that. It is a sniper's playground.
