Can I be first to say this about Guts: Dawwww! What a fantastic model and texture of a German Shepherd. Is he added by that third Bounty Hunter quest mod? (now that got to the last pic I see it is from the 2nd one).

Gut's can track? That is cool. I am sure it is something quest-specific though.

Looks like Gutsie needs some body armor. Which does exist IRL

[Acadian]

Nice shots again, Lopov!

As SubRosa said, the dog is gorgeous/adorablicious.

Mount Charleston (for real) is about an hour drive northwest of Las Vegas. Vegas is what we call high desert (at 2000 feet above sea level elevation). My mountain in the Black Mountains to the south is about 3000 feet. The ski lodge at Mount Charleston is about 7000 feet and the actual peak of Mount Charleston mountain is nearly 12,000 feet. The altitude-induced temperature variations as you go up are quite impressive. A summer drive from Vegas up to the Mount Charleston lodge can see the temperature drop nearly in half for example.

[mALX]

Blondie is a rather cold person, emotionless or at least not showing her emotions when dealing with bounties but when she met Guts....

...Blondie grew soft.

Guts' owner died and his final wish was for his pal to be taken care of.

Unexplainable, touching warmth in Guts' eyes convinced Blondie that the time has come to no longer roam the Mojave alone. And when she saw Guts at work, she liked him even more.

Not to mention that Guts was a tracker dog and helped Blondie in pursuing Red Bear.

Guts (or Gutsie as Blondie often calls him) soon realized that life with his new owner is a dangerous one. But fortunately his skull was thick and while he was knocked unconscious by fiends, Blondie took care of them.

The hunt for Red Bear led them to Mt. Charleston...

...where the infamous raider ambushed them and challenged Blondie to a duel with knives.

But Red Bear cheated and gave Blondie an ordinary combat knife while he wielded a special one, so Blondie cheated in return...and called Guts for help. In the end her new pet finished off Red Bear.

Guts is a companion added by New Vegas Bounties II.

Aw, nice doggie!


What a nice mod that is, I really want to add it! They thought of everything!


And this is why Dogmeat spent all his time inside the Megaton house, urk! Is Guts essential?


So, the truth is that Red Bear is Acadian, right?



GAAAAAAH! NOT Acadian! (or maybe he disguised himself by putting boot blacking in his hair and green lipstick?)


Aw, Good Doggie! So, Blondie didn't pack her own knife? I guess the mod makes her use the faulty one? Whoever did this mod did a spectacular job on it, they thought of everything!!!!!

Great shots, Lopov! You have sold me on this mod, most def want to play it!

Yes, I agree. His eyes convinced her, Lopov. Very well put.

Looks like Gutsie needs some body armor. Which does exist IRL

Wow, look at that! Just $829, too. I'd love to show up to my local park walking a dog wearing that

[Winter Wolf]

Wow, that puppy mod is so cool. It is like FO4 before there is FO4. Very good detail by the mod author.

Lying down on the job sounds like the puppy is essential, but I do have to wonder how many fiends he took down before he decided to have a sit down. Probably the whole damn tribe.

Gutsie is a great name!

[Lopov]

@SubRosa - he is added by the second mod and can be recruited regardless of any mod quests, since he's not tied to any of them. He is in fact not a tracker dog but I like to imagine him as such, as an explanation of all-knowing map markers.

@Acadian - thanks for some info regarding Mt. Charleston and its surroundings.

@mALX - Red Bear is definitely not Acadian. Guts is essential yes but he can endure quite a lot. In the duel with Red Bear you can't pack your own knife because he automatically gets you a regular combat knife and regular leather armor, all your belongings are put in a nearby chest during the fight. However, the Red Bear himself wields his unique knife the Commanchero so the battle is far from being even. That's why Blondie called for Guts.

@Renee - Gutsie has magical eyes indeed. Wait until you meet him.

@Winter Wolf - there was one Fiend who wielded a rocket launcher and actually he killed most of his friends with it. I think that Gutsie was knocked unconscious when the rocket hit some Fiend close to him.

"Woof woof" -> translation -> "Wake up"!

One of rare pics of Blondie at home in her motel room in Novac. To the left we can see a stealth boy on the TV, around the TV are a ballistic fist (which belonged to Meston), the unique combat knife Commanchero (which belonged to Red Bear), the revolver called Sweet Revenge (given to Blondie by her boss Randall as means to kill Marko. But since Blondie prefers energy weapons, the revolver serves as a decoration, it was never fired and probably never will), some 44. ammunition, the laser detonator (from the Divide) and some golden gecko hide. In the corner there's a throwing spear, which Blondie briefly used in her early days.

Right from the entrance is the super sledge (which belonged to Slade), a radscorpion poison gland and a spatula on the floor. Resting atop a couch is a rebar club which probably belonged to one of the previous owners (Joe Burg, another character of mine). Behind a bedside table is an acoustic guitar which Blondie brought from Sierra Madre. It can't be seen well but on the chessboard there are a stimpak and the NCR Recon Beret, given to Blondie by Boone as a reward for helping him.

On the footlocker next to the bed is Blondie's favorite piece of outfit, namely the Courier Duster. On the right is Mercy, a grenade machinegun which Blondie retrieved from the deathclaw-infested Dead Wind Cavern, on the chair there's an NCR Engineer Jumpsuit which Blondie never put on but keeps it because it's rather hard to come by. On the table there is a full bottle of whiskey, a pack of cigarettes and some cigarillos. On the other chair and on the ground there are ample supplies of cigarettes.

Blondie takes Guts for a walk

"No peeing on that pole until I finish my cig."

Stop along Highway 95

Time to go back

Novac(ancy)

"No, you already had your dinner."

Since the first pic and this one weren't taken on the same day, actually a lot of time passed in between, you may notice that instead of the stealth boy there's now a Vexilarius helmet on the TV, which belonged to some Legion assassin who thought that he can kill Blondie. Left of the safe there are a chainsaw and YCS/186, a unique Gauss Rifle, but Blondie rarely uses any of these weapons, she only used the chainsaw when dealing with the Judge and YCS/186 is too big to carry around at all times so she leaves it at home most of the time.

"Don't look at me like that."

On the wardrobe above Blondie there's a helmet of Titus Vulcanus, the Legion Centurion who is the main antagonist of the Russell mod. Obviously he didn't survive the encounter with Blondie.

"Gutsie, you persistent bastard. Here you go."

Blondie on the porch

"Good night."

Lopov, such fabulous pictures of Blondie and Guts! You really do capture the dog's nature well - especially at wake up and meal times. Not peeing on Blondie's leaning pole was hilarious and perfectly captioned. Oh, and loved the NoVac sign.

[SubRosa]

Blondie has quite the collection of stuff in her motel room!

I remember Joe and his rebar club!

If gecko kabobs are for dinner, I think Gutsie might be better off without it!

Man, that is one dirty hotel room!


Aw, it is Joe!


Taking Guts for a walk - I love this shot! I know exactly where she is and what she is doing at that RR track, too! Been there, done that!


The cigarette break along highway 95 = what a great shot! Not sure what Guts is doing, but that is a great animation on him!

No vacancy,


I see one hotel room I'd have to clean up to stay in, urk!


Can't blame Guts for not wanting to lay down on the dirty floor! It would be cool if he jumped up on the bed and lay down, lol.


I am loving this mod! The dialogues are Awesome!


Urk, is that a piece of Titus Vulcanus's leg in the air?


D'aaaaawwwww!!! I love this shot of Blondie giving Guts a treat !!!!


Blondie leaning on the railing = what an amazing pose! What pose mod is this?


Love the parting shot of all your posts, the last cigarette of the day!!!


Great Shots, Lopov! I really enjoy Blondie and Guts!

[Winter Wolf]

@Winter Wolf - there was one Fiend who wielded a rocket launcher and actually he killed most of his friends with it. I think that Gutsie was knocked unconscious when the rocket hit some Fiend close to him.

Ah yes, collateral damage. Always the best friend of a Fallout gamer. Just as long as it is not your grenade. Lol.

**

Awesome pics there Lopov. Going for a slow walk and smoking the cigarette is so cool. Novac is a perfect setting for that. Loved the lean against the pole. And so cool to see Gutsie turn his head and look your way in that pic. That really makes the dog come alive rather than some wooden spin turn.

I always made sure that I appreciated the quieter moments in Oblivion but rarely chased that down in Fallout or Skyrim. Strange. You have reminded me that 'role play' is just as important as knocking off one quest after another.

[Lopov]

@Acadian - Blondie puts her smoking above everyone else's needs so Gutsie had to wait for his owner to finish. It took me some to figure out that Novac is in fact not a town in Nevada.

@SubRosa - yeah, she keeps quite a few unique and not so unique items in her small hotel room though most of them are just put down without any proper order, Blondie doesn't spend too much time decorating her room.

@mALX - I assume that Guts is scratching his ear with a back paw on that pic. Blondie leaning on the rail is not a mod but a console command, enable free camera by typing tfc, click on your character and type "playidle dlcpittleanonraila" or "playidle dlcpittleanonrailb", both animations are from the Pitt DLC. You can use the same animation in Fallout3 but instead of pitt you have to type dlc05. I'd definitely recommend you (and everyone else interested in new quests and meeting cool characters) to try out SomeGuy2000's mods.

@Winter Wolf - Guts uses a lot of different animations and when told to wait, he'll walk around, look at you, scratch himself and so on, he won't just stand idle and do nothing like vanilla companions. Since Blondie always tells him to wait in the motel room, it's possible for him to go up on the bed. And while Blondie prefers to be in action, she enjoys a quiet day from time to time.

Blondie vs Sergio

Bloody Blondie

Blondie "honors" Sergio by placing his head on a bear trap

The bounty hunter has won once again

And this is the final message which you get after turning in Sergio's finger. It obviously alludes to New Vegas Bounties III which is the last mod in the trilogy and which I'm currently playing.

[SubRosa]

I like the Speech of 60 option!

Boomlondie!

Blondie killed Sergio Leone!

Looks like Marko is a Marked Man.

[mALX]

SomeGuy 2000 is a fantastic voice actor as well as making great mods; and he is a real stickler that any voice acting from others in his mods meets his standards, which puts his mods in a higher "class" than a lot of other voiced mods.

This is fantastic, including the last message hinting that NVB III is going to be hunting down Marko; and from the scope of this mod I'd say III will be an awesome adventure doing it! He'd have to go a long way to top this mod!

Er, where did Guts go in the end scenes? Did I just miss seeing him?

Great shots, all!

I like the Speech of 60 option!

Boomlondie!

Blondie killed Sergio Leone!

Looks like Marko is a Marked Man.

The dialogue in this mod is hilarious!

[Acadian]

More great shots of Bloodie Boomie Blondie the Bountiehunter! Seems her work is never done. Even those guys she beat at pool wanted to fight. Oh well, at least she can finish her day with a ciggie.

[Renee]

Dang, I've fallen behind, yet again. Wow, look at those dog pics, those are neat, she's actually walking her dog, how about that? I really love her outfit, by the way. I love how it's not entirely feminine. Your girlfriend won't get jealous.

So it's called Novac because of that broken sign?

Nice to see Joe Burg!

Oh well, at least she can finish her day with a ciggie.

Always, in Lopov's world.

[SubRosa]

Novac's name is kind of a riff on the town of Arefu in FO3. Its taken from a sign that once read "Careful", but the C and the L have worn off.

[Lopov]

@SubRosa - but the Taunt option involved insulting both Mather and his gang, so Blondie just had to choose that one.

@mALX - Gutsie didn't accompany Blondie to Valle del Hierro, she left him in the Mojave. Though he's essential, Blondie's afraid of losing him and another reason is that she prefers to take down big bosses by herself.

@Acadian - I checked Blondie's chems stats and it's close to 2000. Since she doesn't use stimpaks or any other chems that often, most of it can be attributed to cigarettes.

@Renee - the outfit is called a Courier's Duster and you get it at the end of the DLC Lonesome Road, there are several versions of it, but basically all are the same except the symbol on the back which varies according to which faction ranks you the highest. Since Blondie is on good terms with the New California Republic, their symbol is on the back.

--

It's time for the final shodown, it's time for New Vegas Bounties III. I'll skip pics of some major and minor events that took place in between, and also to avoid some spoilers if anyone will ever try out New Vega Bounties mods.

In short - at the beginning of NVBIII Blondie was contacted by Virgil, one of Marko's henchmen. He told her that Marko himself would like to settle a score with her in Deep Creek Mountains in Utah. After she had to help Virgil take care of some business in the Mojave, he was ready to take Blondie to Utah.

Blondie parts ways with Guts

Blondie was warned by Virgil to come to Utah alone, because her companions will be "removed". So she left Gutsie at Gibson's place until she returns. That is - if she returns.

Oh, and she has a new hairstyle, compatible with most headgear.

Blondie in Riot Gear

Blondie was told that it's very, very cold in Deep Creek Mountains so she put on something more appropriate than her sleeveless duster.

Blondie ready to depart

This pic was taken just outside the cave at Northern Passage. The guy in the pic is Virgil.

Destination Frosthill

Sounds ominous, doesn't it?

Intro slideshow 1

Intro slideshow 2

The mod author did a really great job by creating intro slides just like in official DLCs.

Blondie comes to Utah

Virgil left her as soon as she arrived, heading back to Marko's encampment. At least that's what he said.

Blondie ambushed

Looks like this guy doesn't feel cold at all.

Blondie meets Randall

Randall was her boss in NVB I.

Blondie in Randall's Camp

Blondie meets Ford

Ford is one of potential companions in the mod, and very cocky at that.

Blondie has a way with words

While the vanilla game doesn't offer much choices for the Terrifying Presence Perk, you can often "impress" people with this perk in NVB mods.

Blondie

It has to end with a ciggie.

More Blondie! The first picture, with her farewell to Guts, is magnificent! You captured the moment so perfectly.

Love her new hair. . . can’t imagine why.

Yup, her new duds look more appropriate for Utah in the winter.

I see she took the Pale Pass up into Skyrim Interstate 15 up into Utah.

[Renee]

I love her new hair too. That's a mod, right? Okay, because I was going to say you might not need a mod to make this "Blondie". Kidding.

They did an incredible job with New Vegas Bounties, I agree. Do you know who the Lizard King originally was? That was Jim Morrison of the Doors, he was called that because he often wore leather all over the place, and he also had a fondness toward reptiles. Talented guy, but also creepy in a lot of ways. Nice to see somebody puts his name in a videogame mod, ha ha.

http://shrani.najdi.si/?34/ZZ/1eSNpURG/1060-blondie.jpg

[Lopov]

@Acadian - Blondie got quite attached to Guts, he's the only "man" in her life. Her new hairstyle is definitely better and finally compatible with anything, from simple head wraps to cowboy hats.

@Renee - yeah, her hair is from Mikoto's Beauty mod which not only adds hairstyles but eyes as well. Magical eyes, glowing eyes, all kinds of eyes. I didn't know about the Lizard King, I intended to look it up but I forgot in the end. There are many references to various real life persons in NVB mods but I only get a few of them. Hey, don't laugh at the last pic, it has to end with a ciggie.
