Mojave Meanderings and Wasteland Wanderings, The Fallout "Where are you now" thread Options

I think it does a bit. But that is just because FO3 is a slightly more advanced than Oblivion, and has things like wind blowing little gusts of it around. Mostly it is just the novelty of it. You never see snow in the other Fallout games.

Been running around aimlessly as per usual..

Think I covered most of the map in the process too.. and got some good gear to sell

[mirocu]

I´m back in Point Lookout, baby!!

[mirocu]

Just found Kenny and helped him getting his bear back

[SubRosa]

I remember the first time I ever did Point Lookout was with Nyx. She was a child (using the Shojo Race mod, so also had the child at heart perk. She had a lot of fun playing with Kenny after she got his bear back, and his cave became her headquarters in Point Lookout.

[mirocu]

I just played hide and seek but it was fun

Question; are the cabinets and chest etc safe for storage?

[SubRosa]

All of the containers in that little house like area where Kenny sleeps are non-respawning. There is even a lawnmower right outside that is safe storage.

I thought so but wasn´t absolutely sure. Thanks SR

I needed to come back to Lookout. Finished off two quests that only had the final step left; An Antique Land and The Velvet Curtain. Feels good to have finished them, now I only have the MQ lingering from that place

[mirocu]

Point Lookout is done for this time around. I´m currently back in my Megaton home in the Capital Wasteland. I found what I was mainly there to find; double-barrelled shotguns in good condition. I also found some other goodies but surprisingly enough I didn´t find that much to shoot this time. It wasn´t like the first time when I almost melted the barrels on my Vulcan!

Only used two mini-nukes out of 40 so the rest will be used on home ground instead

Is The Velvet Curtain that quest where you follow some pre-war orders to detonate a submarine? Maybe I mixed some things up but I really liked that quest.

Actually I liked everything in Point Lookout except bullet-proof enemies and the main quest. It's probably my least favorite MQ of any expansion, it starts interesting but gets worse by every quest IMO.

So you won't miss anything out if you won't do it.

That´s the one

I did up to the lobotomy thing at which point I reloaded from before the cave. I want people out of my head, not in it!

[SubRosa]

I didn't like the suped up enemies either. But that was easily fixed with a mod. Though with some of my overpowered characters like The AntAgonizer, it might make the game interesting again. I really did not like the lobotomy thing. But I found a mod that removes that too.

[Lopov]

When I did PL for the first (and only) time, a few years ago, my character Ronny was wearing a Ghoul mask at all times, to make swamp ghouls friendly. So when he was lobomotized, I didn't know it because his mask didn't get removed automatically as most of other headgear.

I don't know if there was an actual message telling us that we were lobotomized or a journal updated automatically, anyway, I played for a long time not even knowing about a scar on his head.

[mirocu]

You are told of it quite soon afterwards by Nadine

At which point I reloaded to before the entrance and made the whole thing just a swamp dream..

[SubRosa]

I rolled a new toon to beat the game with. Gwyar is an automatic weapons girl. I was thinking she would explore the northern half of the map, and maybe eventually do Point Lookout and the Pitt.

She's been doing Moira's quests so far. On the way back from Minefield she came across the (Wil) Wheaton Armory. She was going to steer clear, as she was low on ammo and there are tons of Raiders in there. But she saw an Outcast patrol go rolling right past it, and get into it with the bad guys. Two powered armored Outcasts + a Robobrain seemed like good backup, so she ran down and joined in. The armored guys did not make it (one only had a submachine gun, and the other a power fist). But the Robobrain rolled right through the entire place killin' everything left and right. With a little help from Gwyar of course, who was happy to loot the bodies left in the wake. So now she has a suit of Outcast Armor to decorate her house in Megaton.

"Oh Thank God, someone new! I need Water! .... Water, please!"

Joe King, one of the ousted troublemakers from Vault 101, cannot believe his eyes. The 'city' before him, the one he had heard so much about, is nothing like what he'd imagined.

"So this is Megaton, huh?" he says, seeming unfazed by the thirsty beggar before him. "What kind of jive [censored] is this?"

"Please, if you find some, please...." the beggar says before seeming to nod off.

Joe and a group of other teens had managed to escape the meltdown which had happened back in their previous home. Vault 101 had been their underground home for as long as they could remember, and between Joe King, Marge N. Overra, and Cho Zen~Wahn, none of them had ever been out 'here'.

"Let's go inside," Cho, an Asian Amrican whose father had been one of the top medics inside of 101, suggested.

"Eww, it's so creepy!" Marge replied.

"Yeah, I'm with her. This [censored] is nothing like I'd imagined. Where are the cars? Where are the buildings? .. I think we should go the [censored] back to 101 and try to pretend none of this [censored] ever happened."

Joe had grown up obsessed with a series of plastic/metallic discs called "DVDs". He'd found a box of these hidden and discarded in one of the Vault's nether areas, along with a contraption which could read these, and a screen (known to their original owners as a television, Joe had learned). Obviously some sort of computer storage devices, these DVDs held thousands of examples of the way life was back before the Big War. Cars, trucks, guns, loud, vulgar people in stylish clothes. Joe imagined that this is what he'd find outside of Vault 101.

He had watched these DVDs, several dozen of them, hundreds of thousands of times it seemed. He'd had to hide his entertainment from The Overseer though, lest the man confiscate and destroy. So whenever he could, he (and later Marge) would sneak off to their quiet storage corner to watch cars fly through D.C's streets, bombs exploding, and this sort of thing. This is also how Joe managed to learn words like 'car', 'jive', [censored], and [censored] [censored].

"Look. My father could be in there, and I'm going in, with or without you," Cho Zen~Wahn announced as the day above them lightened.

As Joe looked to the town's entrance, he noticed a sight which made him feel ... a little more at home.

"A robot. That's a Protectron!" he says eagerly.

"Oh cool! Well that makes me feel a little better," says Marge.

"Yeah, that's what I want to hear," Cho says. "Now let's get in there, dammit."

"Wel-come ... to ... Megaton. Friend-li-est ci-ty in the Capitol ... Wasteland", the Protectron droned as they neared.

Together, the three teens entered Megaton.

Welcome back to the Capital Wasteland, Renee!!

[SubRosa]

The way Joe talks reminds me of Huggy Bear from Starsky and Hutch! He was the coolest part of that show. I always loved him.
