4950 caps added today, bringing the total onboard bottlecap reserve up to 64816.


Current location: Bethesda ruins

Made 1566 caps today and both Gunny and me are already full of stuff YET AGAIN while stuck in the wild up northwest. When this happens I do one of two things; either I leave something somewhere I can teleport back to after having sold off the rest, or I'll just trudge along at walking speed and keep collecting things until I reach a place where I can sell it off.

Since I have used up all vendors at this point it looks like I'll do the latter UNLESS Gunny gets killed at which point I can drop all my stuff unto him beyond his max capacity and then just keep doing my thang.

------------------
Edit: Added another 4106 caps today using also Tobar the Ferryman and Morgan selling stuff on the riverboat landing.

Total onboard caps: 70522

ALL the vendors?

Cho currently has 423 caps! To be fair, he's constantly blowing through money. He makes thousands each month but repairs, ammo, and certain chems like Stealth Boys get expensive.

Thursday, July 28, 2278, 5:10 PM -- Cho Zen Wan just paid 120 caps to "rent" the room in Rivet City's Weatherly Hotel. It's funny to me because Cho has been living in the room on and off for over a year, scot-free.

I didn't know Stealth Boys were chems


Anyway; another 3129 caps today.


Current location: Clifftop Shacks

73K caps for your character?? haha

I guess it does make sense. Raiders would go crazy in Washington after a real apocalypse.

Mirocu would just happen to get there first.

mirocu makes a LOT of money in this game, and hasn't got a huge list of mods or anything which adds and adds and adds; pretty sure his game is close to vanilla. I honestly don't know how he does it.

Oh, I got WAY more than that, m8


I actually do have a decent mod list although most of them are just minor tweaks, same as my Oblivion. I'm pretty sure you have a much longer list of mods, most of which you made yourself!

Wow, so you have added more than five, which is what I was guessing. Didn't know this!

I've got about 50 mods (maybe in the forties, but no more than 50) these days. I've made five myself: one .esp for Cho, one for Janet. Fallout Additions.esp is one I've made which adds stuff (such as bedrolls) to all games. A fourth adds repeatable quests to the Regulators. I also added a more extensive crime system into Megaton.

Last I saw, Cho and his C-team arrived at The Mall.

Checked FOMM just now; 20 mods active

Some mods affect other mods and most have to do with making the guns less shite.


That's a fun place. Gunny and I just cleared that one out.

Another session and another 2291 caps.


Happened upon Crow the merchant somewhere out in the wild - that basically never happens! Took the opportunity to sell whatever clothings I had collected from Raiders and Talons.

I also had to craft another Dart Gun; the second only I ever had to make actually!

Small session today, didn't even have time to sell anything but we did get some loot and pwnd some n00bs so is all good

A good session today with lots of stuff collected and sold; 5303 caps added to onboard reserves. Places visited include Falls Church metro, Talon HQ, the DC run and way up NW where some Talons like to hang out.


Current location: the Citadel

Cho Zen Wan has just one cap. Well, he's got more than this, but only one cap on his person. He's in Rivet City, afterhours. Just got done taking care of that "mutant problem" down at The Mall, once again. He'll be able to earn some mad caps after the markets open.

I'm probably gonna stop being with Cho for a while. Just because his game at this point is pretty random & shiftless, and as a Level 30 character with a team of Brotherhood to travel with, most of the challenge is gone from my persepctive. And I'm wanting to try some other games on sunny days. Mass Effect 1 is top on the list. I'll still be with Janet, and will play some New Vegas too.

Meh, does anybody care? Anyway, I've no doubt got a huge backlog of Cho screenies. Should start sharing those soon.

So relatable. Most of my characters that don't have a natural story act tend to burn out like this. Just happened in Skyrim with my most recent girl, Helia. Finished up the main quest and there was no desire to continue playing.

Helia sounds like she's ready for her castle or manor or whatever. Retirement.

It's not like I'll never visit Cho again. He's hella fun to be with for sure. But ya know, there's this list of other games I want to try: Fallout 4, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, finishing New Vegas at least once, etc. Maybe Starfield, etc.

It's weird to talk like this right? Time to prioritize our gaming.

I wish it were that easy! I'm usually a one-game-at-a-time kind of guy but lately I've been splitting time the Oblivion remaster, Expedition 33, and Starfield.

Quite the session today; close to 3,5 hours!


Lotsa shots fired, lotsa loot collected and lotsa caps added; 7091 to be exact. This was an interesting one with many things happening; finding Wolfgang out in the wild being one of them. I usually don't find merchants other than at their established selling points like outside Rivet City, but now it's happened twice.


Current location: west of Fort Constantine

3.5 hours is typical for me on a day off. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Cool, another Wolfgang sighting. They happen rarely.

I am playing too. Janet Telia is in Roosevelt Academy, pwning some mutants. Later she'll head to the "northwest corner of the map", which is where the next Lopov bounty (an inbred family of baddies) is supposed to exist. She currently has four other Talon soldiers with her, as well as her Tooth, her dog. 🐶 Apparently the inbred family is a lot of enemies, so she's got an entire gang with her.

So she's going after baddies but she also work with baddies?


Also, pwning mutants at Roosevelt is fun. There's usually a bunch of Deathclaws there too to target practice at

Yes. And she often wears raider armor when traveling the CW, which aligns her with raiders automatically (due to scripts I wrote). Problem is, now that she's traveling with Talon Company, if they happen to encounter raiders, everyone on her Pip Boy looks like her friends! She can't just fire into the crowd at those moments...



Yes, we saw a couple already. Deathclaws in Fallout 3 are easy compared to New Vegas deathies, by the way. Or maybe it's the fact Janet just attained Level 20....

Anyway, Janet traveled from SatCom Navigation Tower to the area where Lopov's Goslin Family lives, but she did this alone. She left the soldiers and even her dog behind, so she could scout the place without those goons ruining everything with over-macho behavior. Which was a GOOD idea. She found the place, but also took care of ten or so mirelurks along the way. See, if she'd brought the soldiers along, chances are most (or all) of their ammo would get wasted trying to take down those 'lurks, and mostly missing. But now they won't have to waste their ammo, since Jan already paved the way.

So now she has the option of trying to take the Goslin family on her own, or she might head back to the tower (which can still be seen in the distance) and grab her soldiers + dog. We shall see.
