The Fallout Screenshot Thread, For FO3, NV and their DLC Options

Looks like the Divine Wind is coming to sweep away the Mongols Khans.

Those legs are certainly easy to follow!

Wow, that is a big shootout in a little building!

I love how Red 'paid off' the gang!

Benny looks better in black than the checkers.

For those not familiar with New Vegas, don't feel too sorry for the Great Khans, they are a tribe that deals with drugs and participates in various merc jobs that also involve assassinations. I think Obsidian ran out of time and never fully fleshed out the Khans, else they might be a more interesting faction.

Yeah the Khans are poo, but Khajiit’s characters usually like trading with the Armory lady because she’s got a large amount of money (well on xb360 anyway).

[SubRosa]

The Great Khans were from Fallout 1. They were a Raider gang with a flair for Mongol style. They kidnapped the mayor of Shady Sands (who would later be the first president of the NCR). I thought it was kind of unoriginal for Obsidian to reuse them for New Vegas (just like I thought it was unoriginal for Bethesda to reuse The Enclave in FO3). But maybe they were both just trying to provide some ties to the old games.

[Acadian]

Have to agree with SubRosa about following those legs and Benny's better look in black.

Red Orchid's Red Army!

Oh, and love her hat!

[Winter Wolf]

'And gets it' was my favorite pic. That was so cool the way she stood at the back and watched their Mojave justice. There something very calm and settled about the way she observed things...hands at her sides and almost tapping her legs as she waited.

And that hat! Short ankle boots and a hat always looks so neat. Not to mention the legs.

edit- Thanks for the welcome back, Lopov.

Whoa, good to see Winter Wolfie is back!

There are indeed some similarities between Jessica and the Red Orchid but because I wasn't that familiar with the cartoon character, she couldn't serve as an inspiration. No, the inspiration as usual in my case, comes from Italian comic books - there's a comic entitled L'orchidea rossa (The red orchid), which means a potent sleeping perfume which a pretty seductress uses to incapacitate her victims, then rob them.

Oh, I wasn't saying you copied her directly from Jessica, I was just noticing the similarities between them. Interesting that there is a Red Orchid in Italian comic books too.

I love the Lopov shot of her reloading. Amidst all that chaos, Mr. Lopov made sure to get us a dead-on facial shot like he usually does. I can just hear some sort of one-liner which goes along with that picture too. "Who's the next lucky shot?" or whatever she'd say.

@SubRosa - her casino nets Red Orchid many caps so she could afford to pay each member of the Scorpions 100 caps to join her and when they were dealt with, she didn't even bother to get the caps back. I made the gang non-hostile in the GECK, otherwise they attack on sight.

@TheCheshireKhajiit - I expected to find some good weapons (not that RO has any use of them but still) in the armory but obviously all of the armorer's precious stuff is stored in a separate, to players invisible container.

@Acadian - Benny's suit is mod-added, it also exists for FO3, I think he looks better too. RO amassed quite an army indeed.

@Winter Wolf - that shot was my favorite as well. I still recall that you were planning to return to the Mojave at some point... :whistling:

@Renee - now if she was only able to reload and put on make-up at the same time.

So is Miss Orchid the hottest babe in Vegas in your gameworld? Kidding. It makes me smile how in-depth your roleplay with her casino is.

I can just picture coming home from work. Instead of shooting things and blowing things up as usual in Fallout, mostly you're checking inventory, counting caps, getting into Orchid's head to see what she wants to wear next.

It's much more Sims and Casino Tycoon than Fallout, ya see. :touched:

[SubRosa]

Red is busy counting her money!

She has a swanky elevator.

It is cool to see the Lucky 38 up and running as a casino again. Instead of being a dusty mausoleum.

Poor Decrepit is now a robot in the basement!

I always liked the FO3 gauss rifle. The other game's versions, not so much.

[TheCheshireKhajiit]

Miss Orchid is a babe with a big gun!

[Acadian]

Nice! That elevator looks quite a bit like a real casino elevator in Las Vegas. Heh, nice winkie shirt. And a great 'Lopov' shot at the end.

[Winter Wolf]

Red is counting her money but has yet to spend one cent on any full length gowns- judging by the amount of skin on show here. I know, I know, the desert, the heat, the sin of Vegas at every corner- but damn she must have some dosh by now! Buy some clothing, girl.

Lucky 38 is so awesome in your games. Robots, girls and guns! And the Lucky 38 carpet is now clean!

And as for the Mojave, well, I just kicked off a 1600 hour play-through of Beth games last month, and then made the mistake of seeing Obsidian sitting there, and the itch, you know, came back.

I am loving Fallout 3 but I know I cannot help but kick off another journey west...soon....soon.

@Renee - I think she's considered the hottest by many. Her game is very different than my other Mojave playthroughs for sure. Now that her casino is up and running, my sessions with RO are never long because in the end I long for some action yet her game feels like a good choice when not in a mood for some serious action or when planning future characters.

@SubRosa - the more you invest in the casino, the more caps accumulate in the profit safe. On the other hand, expenses are higher too but it's not so difficult to run the casino so unless you're careless with caps, you end up with lots of them quite soon.

@TheChesireKhajiit - she likes to pose with guns but because of her low STR she doesn't meet the requirements to handle it properly. The only gun she trusts, is her Lucky.

@Acadian - I had some troubles with the elevator in her game. Because the casino mod places another door to the elevator yet the author forgot to put this door in front of the vanilla door so when interacting with the elevator, she could only travel between vanilla floors of the casino. All I had to do was to disable the vanilla door with the console, now she can access all floors, both vanilla and modded, with ease.

@Winter Wolf - full length clothes for Red Orchid? She better doesn't hear you. Well she has some but even those show outer sides of her legs so I guess that doesn't count.

Though robotic AI is perfect, Red Orchid figured out that to run all pre-war mechanisms, she needs a proper scientist. She heard of some smart scientist / doctor that's currently staying with the Followers of the Apocalypse in the suburbs of New Vegas. Red Orchid dressed appropriately for this occasion, hoping to convince the scientist - Arcade Gannon - to come and work for her. What she doesn't know, is that Arcade is gay. He's a possible vanilla companion, BTW.

Prim'n'proper

Among the Followers

"Hey boy!"

But no matter how Red Orchid posed, either standing or on the ground...

...Arcade Gannon would not be persuaded.

But when she told him that he'll be able to deal with pre-war tech, he was on board immediately!

Arcade's new workplace

[Acadian]

Prim 'n Proper - Oh my - Red certainly is a looker! Too bad Arcade is not able to appreciate the view! Red is clever enough to know that if one button doesn't work, try pushing some others. Seems the 'tech' button worked on Arcade.

[Renee]

Now that her casino is up and running, my sessions with RO are never long because in the end I long for some action yet her game feels like a good choice when not in a mood for some serious action or when planning future characters.

See, this is exactly why I play Sims 3. It's a more passive experience basically. More about moods and mental situations than action and pwning.

Ha ha ha you told me about this scientist. Yeah, going after him with her feminine charms isn't going to do anything!

[SubRosa]

I am laughing at prim and proper! I can't imagine what frumpy and reserved would look like on Red!

Has Red met her match? Oh no, she found the secret to Arcade's heart. She went all nerd on him!

Jet, newest member of my Fallout Family!

She's amazing and I love her.

[Acadian]

Liz, what a neat looking character! Like SubRosa, I love her freckles!

[Renee]

Aww, what a cutie!

And welcome back, Miss Hollow.

[SubRosa]

Now we're talking! Is she inspired by Joan Jett? She makes me think of her, in spite of her hair being red rather than black.
