@SubRosa - being aboard the veritibird the first time was great. And it's nice too that you can call a vertibird later and travel above the Commonwealth.

Hecate's back - back in black! I like yellow stripes on her black armor, it's a good combination.

Oh my, double Lopov! That's never seen before! Who's the viking next to Hecate?

Her shelter is underground but the kitchen still has a window - nice!

Hecate found a great place to live, it seems spacious but it's not "over the top".

mirocu is probably jealous of her collection of teddies.

@Winter Wolf - good to see you in the Commonwealth! I'm happy that I provided a new desktop pic for you. Thanks for checking older pics too, that's what I often do in these subforums, checking old pics from Fallout series.

@Renee - no, Logan isn't piloting the vertibird, he's behind the minigun, ready to blast anyone that'd dare to attack them from below. It's actually not a cut-scene, you travel in real time and enemies can attack you as you're in the air though the vertibird moves fast so you're quickly out of their range. I don't know whether the vertibird can be destroyed while you're on board but your character can get hurt if hit.

Time to leave

Escape from Prydwen

Fireworks!

The fall of Prydwen

Back on the ground

Souvenir from the battle - a burn scar on the right cheek

Blast 'em Snake and Deacon!

Can't bring 'em down looks amazing. The red lasers look like the bars on the American flag.

That was one Elder I was glad to end.

Awesome boom in Fireworks!

Oh the humanity!

Burn baby burn!

Awww, that is not quite a Lopov shot...

Khajiit- Fallout 4 did so many things very well. I actually love the way each factions play off against each other, the way power armor feels so realistic this time, building a settlement that is slightly different to anybody else is very neat, and combat, as always, is a blast. The first time I played the game I racked up so many hours without even noticing, it was so good!

But i will always miss Megaton as a home base. When I exited Vault 101 I could head N-S-E-W on the compass. And I miss the audio sound of the ghouls, and been chased down a hill by a pair of Deathclaws or Albino Scorps! Fallout 3 had a poor number of quests, which was my only complaint with that game.

But don't worry I do love all the Fallout games! I just like to whinge a lot too.

Just do not get me started on Skyrim.

Lopov- Wow! That is one huge explosion! 'Back on the ground' is just sooo epic!

As SubRosa has said- oh the humanity....

'Cant bring him down' looks so painful, or perhaps immortal. He should be recruited to be a Jedi Knight.

Hey, Joan Jett has returned! The pic with the Sugar Bombs on the table is hilarious, and finally she takes off her bodysuit.

So nobody here is gaming with Settlements then, eh? Except maybe Kane, and he doesn't post pics often.

Poor "Snake." All he wanted was to just chill out and have a family 200+ years ago, after escaping that prison camp. But he's forced to return to what he's good at.

@SubRosa - Logan met the BoS elder for the first time now on Prydwen because he avoided any contact with them before. I remembered his name and later on looked it up and found out that we've met this guy before but in Fallout 3 in the Citadel but he was a kid back then.

@Winter Wolf - today's explosion will be even bigger but not as spectacular as the one when Prydwen went down.

@Renee - as narrators of the series tell us - war never changes. The same is true in Snake's case.

Attack on the Institute

Shooting and lots of it

Helping Deacon against gorillas

Final words

End of the Institute

"If there is such thing like a main quest, then this is the end..."

"...but every end is just a new beginning..."

"...and the best adventures are still ahead of us."

Lots of shooting.

Those Institute types are positively beastly!

Boom! I think Bethesda will put a mandatory nuke in every one of their Fallout games.

Snake and company are ready for more adventures.

True but they'll have to wait, ATM I'm back in the Mojave bounty hunting with Blondie and parading with Red Orchid, then I'm planning to venture to the Capital Wasteland cruising with Ally and drinking with the Hobo and also serve some justice with P.P. Barlow. But from time to time I'll post some of Snake's adventures which happened before I took a break from Fallout 4.

Winter Wolf: I think I played Hecate for a little while a few months ago. She is my go-to Fallout 4 character, whenever I'm not in the mood for any specific play style.


Acadian: No one had better steal her sweetrolls!

In some ways that bomb shelter is nicer than my apartment!


Lopov: Hecate will stop wearing back, when they make a color that is darker.

They yellow stripes in her new outfit is from her vault suit. I'm using a mod that adds a bunch of different colored vault suits. That is the shadowed version.

The viking is Honest Dan. He's a mercenary you meet in the town of Covenant. You can team up with him to find a person kidnapped from a caravan that was killed nearby. He looks like the Dragonborn to me.


Renee: Aww, Hecate's not a blackheart. But she does love rock and roll.


Two heads are better than one

Big Iron

Not so big iron

'Merica!

Close up

Bad day to be a Raider

Now that's a big pile of raiders! The bot in the smaller iron pic made me laugh. Looks like something from Sesame Street!

What a touching series of pics from (I assume) the end of the MQ. That final pic of them all standing on those steps looks like the credits are about to roll down-screen.

You're going to kick me Lopov, but I'm starting to think "Snake" Logan looks related to Sylvester Stallone. He looks like a thinner version of Sly.

Lopov- Those gorillas were so neat. I remember finding them for the first time and rushing around to find out what they were planing. Of course, my character was partial to the Institute, so it was what we were planing.

Dogmeat is rocking a stars and stripes bandanna! I like!

SubRosa- When you said 'Close up and 'Bad Day' I thought- Here comes a through-the-scope pic. Instead it was a huge pile of bodies! Good thing that Loviatar is not there.

Renee: The only good Raider, is in a pile of dead Raiders...

The smaller bot is the standard protectron - construction model.


Winter Wolf: Loviatar would have definitely gained a few pounds from that meal. She'd be doing cardio forever to work off all those Raider calories!



25 mph

Hecate goes naval

Gojira!

Downtown

Shadows

But do they think with both heads?

Big Iron patted Hecate on her shoulder.

Only the deathclaw is missing in the Bad day to be a raider. But I guess he's yet to come.

I see she's traveling with Ada. Snake also had her on board during the Automatron questline.

I absolutely love the look of concentration on Hecate while she is swimming. She must be going for some super ninja stealth kill! I just hope that her glasses are waterproof.

Wow! 'Downtown' shows how hot Hecate is. That is sweet curve if I do say so.

Is that a dead doggie in front of her in that pic?

Ada! My favourite companion by a mile is playing meet and greet!

Lopov: If Radstags are anything like real deer, they don't think with either head...

The Bad Raider pic was post Deathclaw. He is down at the other end of the street.


Winter Wolf: Hecate was just crossing a river in the naval pic, trying out her waterbreathing mask (modded of course).

That dog in the Downtown pic was alive and well. I always use the console to make the 'normal' animals like dogs and radstags friendly.

Now Hecate is the Big Iron

In the light

Ahh, okay. Does that mean that you have made them a companion as well or is that dog just wandering around? The way it is heading almost seems like a companion.

I love the facial expressions on Hecate. She looks studious and very intense. Power Armor is so well done in this game. I am not sure I like the lack of training to use the one at Concord; however, but from a game mechanic it is so neat!

@SubRosa - Hecate looks good in military-painted power armor but in her black armor she looks even better.

@Kane - that safehouse looks good and it fits in the town, it reminds me of the DJ's home, probably it's based upon it. Who's the guy or girl in the Nuka-Cola Power Armor? Hecate?

The power armor is empty. Just a static prop that's part of the house theme - Elianora loves to fill her work up with stuff like that.
It's the Outfield Retreat player home.

You were in Diamond City on October 31st! I never make it there that soon. Some (well many) of my characters never go there at all. I think I have only seen the Halloween decoration once, and never the Crystalmethras ones.

Cait does look pleased. Is her hair red now, or is that just the lightning? I was thinking she ought be a redhead in the earlier pic, given the freckles.

Nope, still a brunette I see.

Looks like trouble on the horizon!

Cait is about to put a corona around someone's (former) head! Is that rifle from Modern Firearms? I don't recognize it, except for the M110 style barrel.

I love that Diamond City RV house of Elianora's. It is simple, small, and lore-friendly.

I honestly don't know howI made it there in so few days. I play on Survival, and it takes a good bit of leveling before I make it down there and feel safe.

Er, Cait is a companion, and her hair is indeed red.

It's a Heckler and Koch G3, which has since been removed from the Nexus.

Yep, and it makes a perfect little place ro rest at!
