Way too early in the season for that


Had another session yesterday where I hopped around the Wasteland. But I did end up outside Megaton again so my last post still stands

Oddity: Came across a Deathclaw and got his attention with the Chinese fire pistol. But as it ran up to me it suddenly darted right up into the air at the speed of light and then proceeded to teleport around me. Never seen anything like it and it made Gunny confused as he kept searching for his target to show up and behave normally

Curiosity: Around the middle part of the map on a street by some houses I found a sewer which I evidentally haven't been to before as things I would have taken were still there and the local map was not filled in. As I entered, a Wastelander exited and I did try to talk to him but he only had a small greeting. In this sewer was a hidden room with strung up corpses in the usual Raider style. I almost expected the Wastelander to confront me like the people do in Andale after you discover their "strange meat" but he didn't. But this is why I keep playing after more than ten years; I still discover new things!

Bah!


Oddity: gotta love that BGS jank!

Curiosity: Hunh. I don’t recall that either. Sounds similar to those radio tower sewers but not sure.

Due to weather, today's Fallout 3 session was spent in D.C rather than out in the Wasteland proper. I was planning to just do a D.C journey in which I start at L.Enfant Plaza and through a number of locations work my way up to Takoma and then out into the wastes again. But since weather permitted, I stayed in D.C and among other things found Gibson again, a character long forgotten by me.
I never really understood his note "Search the house" or indeed which house to search. I thought it was in D.C but read up on the wiki it's in Minefield and so I will look it up next session.


At least I don't think I got this before

Look for the Gibson House in Minefield. Gibson has a key on him that will open something in there.

I did just that and it turns out, quite not surprisingly, I have already searched that house.


Oh, well.

Good, now you can stop fooling around and get thy self to Point Lookout!

Those swamp folk aren't going to kill themselves.

Well, actually they might...

*Nods in agreement*

@Khajiit - Still too early. I'm currently collecting 5mm ammo for the Vulcan and mines for the ghoul hunt in the grotto. Though I do have enough of those now, I think. Still, no Lookout until scary October

BAH!, I say.

mirocu: Ha ha that deathclaw story's amusing! It's like it got caught in an invisible rollercoaster.


Well my Fallout 3 season continues. Beat the gremlins.. this time. 👻

Wednesday, June 14, 2279: Cho Zen Wan is headed back to Megaton after storming some Brotherhood Outcasts. His C-team is with him. This includes a guy who carries around a huge flamethrower, a second guy who specializes in energy weapons, and a third guy who carries assault rifles, mostly. Yeah, buncha baddasses! Dogmeat is also part of the team, but mostly Cho makes his dog stay in Megaton. 🐕‍🦺

I JUST noticed something cool. The GOG version apparently allows use of the console while I'm using an Xbox controller. This is hugely convenient. With the STeam version I always had to disable the controller just to use the console. Screenshots could therefore be difficult. Well not no more!

Awesome, Renee! Convenient stuff is convenient, I 've heard


Yeah; business as usual here. Out in the wastes, sold some stuff, shot some other stuff, then stuff happened.

Point Lookout?

?

??

As I don't celebrate Christmas until December, I also don't go to Point Lookout until October.


Khajiit should know this by now

*Sigh*

A lengthy session yesterday.


Started out jumping around trying to find someone to sell to since both Gunny and me were carrying too much. Turned out the vendors in Rivet City were up for it. After that we ran around the area of Vault 87(?) and the Sniper Shack as well as along the car bridge further north. A good number if Mirelurk meat was collected.

We ended the session carrying too much, again, so next time we need to find someone with caps. Again



Also; about the unique alien blaster you can find after the UFO explodes in the sky. Can someone confirm that if you don't collect it, it disappears when the cell resets?

No idea about the blaster. Is that from the Mothership?

I also gamed yesterday. Cho Zen Wan is just arrived outside of Nuka Cola Plant. 🍾 Gonna pillage & loot & accrue caps after he sells what he can sell.

When you say lengthy, how many hours?

It's the unique event, not sure it's related to Zeta.


Ehh, not more than a couple of hours. But that is lengthy for me these days

Nah the Firelancer event was part of the base game. @ ‘Rocu: I dont remember seeing the Firelancer event occur but once for a given character. If you didn’t collect it, try returning to the area and see if Dogmeat can locate it. If he doesn’t turn up anything, you may just want to add it using console commands.

You can also use the no clip command and go under the ground, then look up. You might be able to see the gun and its ammo easier that way, as it might be clipping through the ground.
