Ah yes, Colonel Klink is from ... agh.... it's a show that was on when I was a kid, though I never watched this show. Hogan's Heroes??? I think that was it. I don't feel like Googling. It was some funny war show. Not M*A*S*H though.

He wears his cap while bathing!

Colonel Klink was from Hogans Heroes. Sergeant Shultz too.

Cleanliness is next to Hoboness! Dogmeat is trying to figure out what it going on.

He's a Hobo With A Shotgun!

Hobo's riding the Railroad... Rifle.

Great shot of the grenade before it goes off!

The Hobo Diner is always ready to serve up some high explosives!

@Renee - the Hobo takes good care of his hat and he's afraid that if he put it down, Dogmeat would play with it.

@SubRosa - maybe Dogmeat wants to have some fun in the bathtub as well. This bathtub, located on Cheste Acres Dairy Farm, actually has some water inside, that's why the Hobo went in.

The ballistic shotgun is powerful when used in VATS, otherwise it's hard to make a good shot.

The Hobo is against slavery

Fiery punishment

This slaver fled and the Hobo granted him life

A slave no more

It was a mistake to come back, slaver

The Hobo is emancipating the Wasteland. He needs to wear the Lincoln Hat when he kill slavers...

Crispy Slaver!

I don't think he'll trade his Chinese General Hat for anything else.

Sitting on the edge

Attacked by Wheaton raiders

Jump, jump!

Objection overruled

Big Hobo

Wheaton Armory

Corporal Punishment

Corporal on duty

Be careful up there Hobo!

I was expecting the raiders to all look like Wil Wheaton.

Is Corporal Punishment one of Renee's characters?

"He always takes good care of his hat..."

Wow, check out the expression on that slaver's face! He's like "OH [censored] I had no idea!"

Next set of pics: okay so THE Hobo isn't afraid of heights like I am.

Wheaton is an actual town, south of where I live. I've never been there though. Is that armory vanilla?

@SubRosa - maybe Corporal Punishment is one of future Renee's characters. I had a feeling that a gnome was hiding somewhere in those ruins so we thoroughly searched the place - and we were right.

@Renee - Yes, it's vanilla. The actual armory is underground, these ruins are what remains outside. The Hobo didn't venture down to the armory because it's heavily irradiated.

I have a Fallout: New Vegas game in progress as well, though I haven't played in a while, so I figure as may as well submit some screenshots of that too
My character, btw, is very skilled in Science and Repairs, so the "Nerdy" tag even fits!

Bronzed and Nerdy (if you notice that this has different lighting compared to those below, I took it before changing weather mods)

On the look out

Blowin' in the wind

Wow! You’re game looks great! Your character has a “deadly hipster” vibe. What is her name?

Thank you! Heh! "Deadly Hipster Vibe," I love it!

Her name is Jaquelle... and now I think about it, I *must* have been in Breton-speak mode when I created her....
Ah well... the name is offbeat enough, I suppose, that hipsters might actually like it.

Just like Cyrodiil, your Mojave looks great too.

As does Jaquelle - despite modded, you managed to retain wastelandish look. Her bandana blends nice with her hair. Where was "On the look out" pic taken? I don't recognize it because the garden and the sun collector behind her are probably modded.

I have two characters in New Vegas - rough bounty hunter Blondie and refined Mojave enterpreneur / Lucky 38 CEO Red Orchid.

Awww AWW what a cutie!

I began playing New Vegas this past summer, too. On Xbox now, but I'll probably start playing PC next year. Even on console though, I notice how much more vibrant and colorful the Mojave is in comparison to the Capitol Wasteland. Those high desert winds must have blown away all the yucky polluted air, or something.

Lopov I haven't seen either of those pics before!

Between the glasses and the bandanna, Jaquelle looks like a hippie nerd to me as well!

Your Mojave looks great! Isn't it amazing how much better FO3 and NV look with the weather modded over the vanilla appearance? The sad thing is you don't even need to add any new assets to make it look good. All you have to do it set the color values to something realistic (yes, that is shade being thrown on you Bethesda and Obsidian).

Thanks all, glad you like the shots. I had a lot of fun taking them.

@Lopov,
Cheers! When I create characters, even when modded, I try to ensure they look as though they belong in the game world, so I really appreciate your comment.
The image was taken just outside of the Raven's Nest house, which is a reasonably short walk from Jacobstown.
I LOVE your characters, and how different they are from one another!

@Renee,
Awww.. thanks I was trying to go for something that was attractive, but didn't deviate too far from vanilla. I actually have never played FO3, to be honest. Typically, I have tended more toward fantasy than futuristic/apocalyptic games, but in August GOG had all of their Bethesda titles on sale for 50% off, and since I'd heard amazing things about New Vegas, I grabbed it. I'm now wishing I'd also picked up F03, but ah well, maybe another time. As you know, unmodded FO:NV has that sepia filter that makes everything look brownish, but I've seen screenshots of FO3, and I agree, the sepia is still an improvement; in my opinion, at least.

@SubRosa,
Heh! Well, considering I live on the Canadian west coast, maybe the hippie nerd look isn't totally surprising!

Yeah... Admittedly, I'm also using texture replacers, but the biggest visual difference to my game happened when I installed the weather mod... it was bloody astounding actually, I was floored!
btw, I just started reading your "Teresa of the Faint Smile" story, and I'm really loving it... A cosy way to spend a grey, dreary afternoon along with a pot of coffee.

Still haven't gotten to use those screenshot tips I was taught, but I found some screenshots I still liked (minus any HUD, enemy health bars, etc.

Cleaning House

Bringing the Pain

A Strangely Friendly Radscorpion

Evil Lurks Within These Halls

The Bus Driver Sure is Taking His Time...

Just Taking a Nap

Spring-Loaded Deathclaw (somehow, this Deathclaw shot up into the atmosphere upon death, never to be seen again)

Close Call (one more hit on our spaceship and we would've been dead)

Hope that wasn't too many. Whoops.

Finally found that other screenshot I wanted.

@ArtemisNoir2 - thanks! I forgot of one character, and that's Lee Cyeng. I still keep his saves though his story is mostly finished ever since he fell in love and prefers to spend time with his girlfriend. But maybe one day he'll long for another adventure.

@RaderOfTheLostArk - nice to see that your character manages to keep perfect hairstyle despite harshness of the Capital Wasteland.

I've encountered friendly feral ghouls but not radscorpions. I'd still be afraid getting so close to it, though, what if it changes its mind.

I assume she helped that Talon merc to his nap?

Yeah I was gonna say, she's sporting a Prim 'n' Proper while adventuring! Not a Wendy the Welder or Rough Night!

Love the action in that first shot, Raiders. Looks like a SWAT raid taking place.


Artemis: There's no rush to get into FO3. I myself tried 3 back in 2013, but didn't get into New Vegas until this past summer. But with 3, it was only after Lopov told me it's set in the DC area, which is 40 minutes south where I live, I just had to see how Beth handled this game! I was turned off by the idea of nuclear war, but turns out, the war is long over. And this game is not just about combat; it's got a lot of humor in it too.

In general, FO3 is more of an explorers' game, while FONV has more story, more consequences, but not as much stuff to explore.

Haha, she always makes sure she looks good no matter where her adventures take her.

I'm sure it was just a bug. I was getting red to unload on it, but I realized that its name was in green, so I left it be.



Ghouls, raiders, super mutants, Enclave, you name it: her hair is always looking great no matter who or what she runs into.

Thanks. Yeah, VATS makes for some good screenshots if you can get them time.

That is a funny looking broom you are cleaning the house with!

Once and a while I have had Raiders or other monsters forget that they are supposed to be hostile. It is always a pleasant surprise.

Deathclaw flyiiiinnnn soooo hiiiiiigh! (I have gotten Deathclaws in Old Olney flying directly up into space several times as well. The Law of Gravity is not enforced there.

Blasting ET!

Remnants looks both haunting and hilarious at the same time.
