Commie skull spiders! Say that 10 times fast.

I see Hecate’s collection of power armor now included the Star Wars Imperial Trooper on Steroids version?

Plenty of spare parts there.

Poor robot.

What a grin on Jangles! Like his shorts are too tight? But that really is an adorable pose for Hecate sitting on her heels next to him.

Blast Radius is apropos indeed!

Lone Wanderer is very cool. Love Hecate’s new face – cheekbones, chin, coloring. And what a cool sign. FO4 signs seem quite different from FO3 but very neat in their own way.

Shhh. Not too close. I think mirocu is trying to impress Ladybird.

[SubRosa]

Lopov: Stendarr grant the super mutants mercy, because Hecate has none for them...

I remember Jangles from the Captain Cosmos billboards too. It is fun to see him in the world.

There are some motorcycle mods in FO3. I have not looked for any in F4 yet.


Acadian: Commie Skull Spiders? Sounds like a Punk band!

I think the Imperial Trooper armor has the special effect of attracting energy attacks!

Blast Radius is a handy game to find too. It has Nuclear Material in it. Seriously. It is one of the components you need to make things like glow sights for weapons.

Mirocu is maccing on former President Johnson's wife!



Quint is going to need a bigger boat

The USS Constitution, stuck on top of an insurance building

Ensign Hecate reporting for duty!

Repelling boarders

Old Ironsides sets sail

Ooops, gravity is a harsh mistress!

Now she's going

To infinity and beyond!

Look out for that building!

Crash

Run aground

Facepalm

[Acadian]

Yikes, jaws in boats and ships on buildings!

Ensign Hecate reporting to Captain Roboship – and a bigger boat to boot!

Woot! An airship!

The titling and shot for ‘To infinity and beyond!’ reminds me ever so much of a scene from Back to the Future where Doc comes back in his flying, trash-eating Delorean.

Ouch, someone needs ship-flying lessons. This gives a whole new meaning to Naval Aviation.

[Lopov]

What a funny set of pics and matching captions!

My first thought when I saw the flying ship, was the flying ship from Morrowind which had even less luck than USS Constitution.

But hey, at least it's now atop a higher building.

Is the ship still pilotable or it's now settled up there for good?

[Kane]

That's my favorite quest. I laughed my ass off when they crashed again.

[SubRosa]

Acadian: I think the creature on Quint's boat is a cross between a dolphin and a shark. I am glad I have never seen a live one, yet.

One of the fun things about the Constitution is that you can fire a broadside of her cannons. That is really neat!

I don't think they have a helmsman. That might be why they hit that building!


Lopov: Thankfully the Constitution is still better off than that Dwemer airship in Solstheim! Even considering its crew.

I think it is stuck on the second building for good. The questline ended there. I have not been able to get to the building where it is perched, so I am not sure if you can get to it again or not.


Cain: That was a really fun quest. I am glad to see that Bethesda still has a sense of humor. I think it is tied with the Cabot House for my favorite questline.

Hecate is pretty.

Wow, another Protectron. They definitely expanded their kinds from previous games.

Giddyup is back! I remember lots of those horses from Zeta.

That armor is so big, Hecate could pull her head in through the neck opening.

Who's that metal beast/robot? they're shooting in the last pic?

[Acadian]

Hecate is pleased. - Because of the magnificent job Mom did with her face lift. Wow! I'm so impressed with your skill when it comes to facial structure.

Robocop!

Thar she blows – Don’t want to tell you what I imagined on that title.

My Little Pony!

I will say that her heavy metal armor that looks like it could carry a whole squad inside is starting to grow on me.

[Winter Wolf]

I see Hecate has made it to Goodneighbor and the Third Rail. Did she make a line for Magnolia?

Awesome last pic. A mini gun at point blank range. Damn that looks nasty.

I have not been able to get to the building where it is perched, so I am not sure if you can get to it again or not.

You can go up to the new position and have a chat with the folks up there. An elevator in a building takes you to the top of the building. It is a really neat end to the quest.

Cripes I've fallen so far behind! Xmas slowed me down on these forums!

It's interesting how in some pics (especially outdoors) they look virtually like photographs. In others, the game looks good, but not quite as photo-realistic.

The jumping animations are awesome!

Oh really? This is one area Beth t00ns have always lacked in. They always look so goofy when they jump, no matter which game.

Will Hecate be doing any settlement building? She doesn't seem the type honestly, but I'm just curious.

Oh really? This is one area Beth t00ns have always lacked in. They always look so goofy when they jump, no matter which game.

Especially with the jet packs the Power Armor can use now!

And it helps that followers can now navigate a drop of more than 2 feet.

[SubRosa]

Lopov: There are lots of different looks for the Protectrons in F4. So far I have seen Police, Fire, Medical, Construction, and a generic Office Helper type.

Hecate could almost pull her entire body through the neck opening in that armor!

That robot in the final pic was Ahab. He's a boss robot in a Rust Devil lair. The Rust Devils are a raider gang that specialize in using robots, and making armor out of robot parts. They are part of the Automatron main quest.


Acadian: It was worth restarting her game to redo her face. Unfortunately using the showlooksmenu during the game is not so easy, since you cannot get a good close up of your character's face. So the start of a new game or the vault exit is your best chance.

TBH, I am getting less enthusiastic about the powered armor. Hecate pulled that suit out of her collection to take on a big Rust Devil base. It was part of the Automatron main quest. But I left it at home for the final showdown with The Mechanist. I don't like how it changes the hud, or the feel of moving in it.


Winter Wolf: Is Magnolia the singer? Hecate did talk to her. It was part of a quest she was doing to find the Cabot sister. Hecate did try putting the moves on Maggie, but only got so far.

That is cool that you can get to the Constitution in her new berth. It might be a while before Hecate gets there.

I did some experimenting with a melee character a while back, and her modded armor came with a jet pack. The little bit I played of her was a lot of fun. It was like playing a Mandalorian.



Renee: The jumping does look a little goofy in F4 as well, but it is definitely different from the other Beth games. It reminds me of a Sam Raimi movie, especially his Spiderman ones.

Hecate did a little bit of settlement building around Sanctuary Hills (where you first come out of the Vault). There is actually a quest just about building up the settlement. She did not do much though, just put up a house, some beds for the settlers, then created power, water, and planted some crops. I still plant the crops. Whenever I find vegetables I plant them in the farm instead of using them for cooking. There is a ton of crops now! I recently starting building cats, and plan to get some dogs soon too.


Scanning

Ewwww

Hecate's first cat for the homestead

Perched

Now how did that get up here?

Knock Knock

Now that is what I call a Critical Hit!

Another Quint

Hooper didn't make it this time either

A killer game of checkers

Look what Hecate found off the coast

There is only one Queen

[Acadian]

Oh, Robospotter looks handy to have around indeed!

Ewww – looks like Persephone’s leftovers.

Aww, kitty.

Perched is a neat shot – little sniper up in a safe perch with a commanding view.

Hey, if a ship can fly, why not a two-headed cow?

Love the under water ‘splorin’ shots!

Yeah, checkers can sometimes be a slooww game.

Wow, did Hecate kill that big. . . thing behind her on the beach?

[Lopov]

Hecate's first Khajiit!

Maybe Hecate discovered Loviatar's Commonwealth Laboratory.

Looks like the Brahmin was born up there.

So what says judge Hecate - who won the checkers?

Is there some sort of rebreather so you can actually explore that sunken ship?

What in Oblivion is that beast?

[Winter Wolf]

Yes, Magnolia is the singer. And the same thing happens to my girls- they never get anyway either.

Love the texture/coloring on the cat. It is a little tiger!

Jaws got on-board the boat again!

I have not taken any Aquagirl perk yet so I have not explored any underwater areas. I am leaving that for the endgame. But damn that looks awesome in your pics. A whole ship is down there!

Animals do love getting upstairs. I have seen robots and whole caravan pack animals standing on the top of my home at Sanctuary.

[SubRosa]

Acadian: You mean Loviatar's leftovers. Persephone has not eaten in four thousand years...

The cow might have flown up there. It has two heads, why not anti-grav hooves as well!

Hecate did kill that big ugly behind her on the beach. It is a Mirelurk Queen. A new critter in F4. It took a couple of grenades and half a magazine from her sniper rifle. But like the old saying goes: The bigger they are, the easier they are to hit.


Lopov: Hopefully the first of many khajiit. Hecate reset her trap to get more cats.

If you look really closely at that perched pic, you can see a bobblehead between her feet. That is why she went out there to start with. Once she was there, it was just begging for a picture.

I don't know if there is a rebreather yet or not in F4. But there is an Aquaboy/girl perk you can take. It not only gives you waterbreathing, but also makes you immune from swimming based radiation. Hecate took it so she could look around under the waves.

The big nasty on the beach is a Mirelurk Queen. She took a lot of killing to put down.


Winter Wolf: The cat texture is from a mod. I forget which one right now. But I think it was one that retextured a whole bunch of animals.

That is twice I have found that same scene from Jaws in F4. I wonder if there are more of them?

They put a lot of clutter and plants in the underwater areas. But there really is not much of any use. I only found a handful of containers with a few stimpacks in all my swimming. Plus one Power Armor frame in one of the inland lakes in the northern section of the map.

I have found Trashcan Carla's pack Brahimin in a Sanctuary house. It was too big to get out the door! It kept trying to get through though, until it finally teleported to the street.


Hecate discovered a Commie Sub!

Hecate descends into the depths

She finds that the captain is a decent fellow though

So she agrees to help him get back to China

Now what do the instructions say about the nuclear reactor?

Afterward Comrade Hecate returned to Sanctuary to oversee the farming efforts

[Winter Wolf]

Looks like the Commie sub was doing recon when the bombs fell. The captain got some nasty rad burns there.

I have not done that quest yet that involves the sub but have always been meaning to. Good thing Hecate put her helmet on before tinkering with that reactor!

Love the hat! Comrade Hecate. Lol.

I see that the Vault Tech guy has paid a visit to Sanctuary after all that time....his skin does not look any better.

[Acadian]

Eeep – sorry ‘bout the Persephone/Loviatar mixup.

A submarine! Sounds like Hecate values individuals and their merit more than simply their association/cause. If that boat commander was a decent fellow, I’m glad she helped him get home. Looks like he may have gifted her with his hat?

Oh, nuclear reactors are easy – they work just like warp cores. I think.

[Lopov]

Commies are tough to bring down, that Captain is the best proof, look for how many years he's been around already. I see that he rewarded Hecate with his hat.

Who's that ghoul on Hecate's right in the last pic? He doesn't look like an ordinary farmer.

[Winter Wolf]

Just a look at my new toon and the small shack she has built.

Time to start building

View from lower on hill

Shazelle

Waiting for something or someone

Shazelle came from a good family but fell in with the raiders. She has lived a very hard past life and is hiding out in Sanctuary. She is someone who is tired and looking for a change, but those same people are bound to come calling again soon....
