Wasteland homes Options

Whether they're in Commonwealth, Mojave or the Capital Wasteland, you're invited to post pics or write about homes of your characters.

Today I'll show you Rattler's hideout in the Capital Wasteland, made by me.

The Den of the Rattlesnake

A distance west of Germantown Police HQ and east of Paradise Falls, on one of many hills in that area, there's a dilapidated shack partly built into a rock towering above it. It served as hideout for some junkies but a notorious slaver from Paradise Falls recently killed them, placed their remains on display and moved in. Now nobody dares to approach the shack anymore.

View from below

Screenies taken at night make things more difficult to see but they're better for overall mood in this case. To the right there's a campfire, left of it there's a half-buried corpse of one of the junkies, lying right below wooden stairs leading to the shack. One junkie has been stuck on a pole to the left, one has been hooked right on the main door, and another one is hanging to the right of the entrance.

View from the other side

There's pile of junk to the right of the shack, along with a broken cabinet and some empty barrels. Paradise Falls can be seen in the background

Going up the stairs

right into

the Den of the Rattlesnake,

that can only be unlocked with the specific key.

Welcome!

That's what we see when stepping in. Looks quite scruffy and messy, doesn't it? There's a skeleton greeting us while eternally burning in the barrel with one of the junkies hanging on a chain right behind him. Planks on the left make way to "the loft". Obviously the one who lives there, likes cigarettes, jet and whiskey.

View from the other side

Specifically, from the burning gentleman's perspective. There's a table next to the door with one chair behind it, and one on the top of it. There's a broken refrigerator on the other side of the door and a mutilated arm of one of the junkies next to the lawn chair.

Table full of flesh,

and human at that.

They're hard to spot but there are empty syringes all over the shack, implying the owner's addiction to Med-X. As more time passes, the shack will be even more messy, there'll be cigarette butts, empty packs and cartons and even more empty bottles tossed all over the place.

Bathroom of sort

located under the planks.

View from "the loft"

Not much is up there, only one dirty mattress and a view of another junkie.

Time to meet him

You set his original house on fire? You pyromaniac! And now he has to come home to deathies waiting for him if he doesn't return in enough time. What a life. I hope he didn't get a fixed rate mortgage during a sub-prime market, that would be the real bummer.

It was Freesiders who set his bando on fire, not me. Lee didn't feel that sorry for it, though, neither he kept anything of value inside. It's an interesting home mod but more suitable for some raider character or a drug dealer.

The peasants came with torches and pitchforks to burn Lee out! I don't think I would like that War Trash mod.

The Gypsum house sounds like you have to be a real badass to live there! That might be a great place for Persephone or Loviatar.

I didn't know until today that there exists a home in the middle of the deathclaw infested trainyard. When Lee cleared the place, I went to the Nexus to see if there are some mods that affect this area and that's how I found this eemmmersssive house.

Me too thinks that you wouldn't like War Trash unless your character would be prepared to do anything to stay undercover and unveil plans of War Trash. You have chances during the mod to protest and fight your superiors, so you're not forced to play the mod to the end. Lee Cyeng, however, had to play along, else his shady bosses from the NCR would set of a remote bomb in his PipBoy. That's how they're keeping Lee on a short leash.

So the mod is suitable for Lee Cyeng's game but that's about it, as I said in another thread, the mod massively changes the Mojave and that's not something I'd want in my other playthroughs. It has a sequel, though, but that one apparently doesn't affect the Mojave as much as the first one and it's more buggy because it was done in a shorter time.
