Molly Hatchet. That would be a great name for a Fallout character, methinks...

Great song and lyrics, thank you!

Since Lopov forced me, I rolled a new FONV toon to beat the game with, Cyhiraeth, the Irish Adventurer

Cyhiraeth has an interesting backstory, it also gives her an excuse for losing her memory regarding the Divide, that is, if she'll ever do the DLC content.

Except of course for Lucky. But it is locked up, and takes a Lockpick of 75 to get into. Cyhiraeth has been forced to put every point into her Guns skill to stay alive, so that hasn't happened.

There's a mod called NVR - Lock kicking & Lock Bombing, which allows you to bypass locks by using either force or explosives though you have to meet some skill requirements to succeed or use very powerful explosives, like C4 which are hard to find at low levels.

Now that I read the entire post, I see that she already has Lucky. Goodman, a dead gentleman, used Lucky and I loved it, not only because of stats but also because of its design.

Anyway, nice to see another girl roaming the Mojave, what is her 3rd tagged skill? (besides Guns and Lockpick, I assume)

She started out with Guns, Repair, and Survival tagged. She's 9th level now, with Guns at 100, Lockpick at 55, and not much in anything else except those other two initially tagged skills. I'll probably leave the lockicking where it is, since now she can get into a Hard lock with a magazine to boost her skill. I expect to work on Repair next, to get more of the bullet making abilities.

Brilliant! Sounds like the perfect character to do Point Lookout with. It has just what someone named Molly Hatchet needs! Now I know who my next FO3 character will be.

Selling Raider/Talon outfits and various weapons really pays off; I currently have 165000 caps!

Well, Cyhiraeth went and did it. As much as I tried to put it off, she got the Legion's dander up, and now they are sending assassins after her. I even purposely avoided going into Nipton with her, since there is no way a character of mine can go in there without walking out over a bunch of Legion corpses. But when she heard gunfire, went to check it out, and found a Legion patrol shooting it out with not only an NCR patrol, but two traveling merchants as well, Cy just could not stay out of it. She had to jump in guns blazing, blowing off a Legionary's head with her first shot from Lucky. A few hours later, the first 5 man Legion assassin team came after Cy. The first of many. *sigh*, that get so annoying after a while. Thankfully I just found a mod that reduces their frequency.

That assassin team sounds like the Talons.

[SubRosa]

It is the same idea, but the Legion is a lot tougher, especially if you are a lower level character.

[Lopov]

I also use this mod that reduces the frequency of attacks, I have them set to occur once per three weeks. I'm expecting them to appear in Blondie's game soon, she's currently Shunned with the Legion so they'll probably start appearing. She's been neutral for long with them, but just as Cyhiareth she couldn't just stand and watch Legion killing merchants and NCR soldiers.

I came across some interesting mods today.

Pipboy Readius gets rid of the pipboy on your wrist. Instead it replaces it with a tablet pc. This lets you see your left arm for the first time ever.

I went looking for it because The Nyx Suit has a problem with the pipboy. It makes your left arm invisible when you put the suit on. But the suit looked so neat, that I was inspired to find some way to get rid of the pipboy without breaking the game. It has inspired me to create a cyborg character.

Daughters of Ares is a full bore cyborg mod I found today that adds a new cyborg race. But I didn't like how any of the classes for it worked, and don't feel like reworking them myself. It also seems to require NMM to install, which I won't use. I have heard too many horror stories from people whose games it has completely trashed.

I can see ditching the Pipboy especially if the character's not supposed to be from 101 (or any other vault) RP-wise. It would also be funny if somebody made a mod which ditched the Pipboy from somebody who's always worn one, and then replaces it with bleachy, untanned skin underneatth!

In NV you are given a PipBoy from a former vault citizen in the tutorial. I used this mod in the past but now I prefer to have PipBoy visible, it makes my character more special. I also use a mod that adds more PipBoys to people that should wear them, like former vault citizens etc...

[Lopov]

Blondie is in Sierra Madre.

Just as many other unfortunate adventurers, she was curious what's behind a beautiful woman's voice on a radio, and her curiosity led her to a well-placed trap. Now she's forced to cooperate with other adventurers trapped in a city of dead, wearing an explosive collar on her neck and following orders of a deranged old man. Blondie is obedient for now but when the time comes...

...she'll enjoy decapitating the Old man.

Beware, Elijah, beware, 'cos Blondie will be your nightmare!

[mirocu]

Through my endless quest called Runnin´, Shootin´ n´ Lootin´ (only quest I do these days btw), I have as of now passed 170.000 caps!

[Lopov]

You should open a Capital Wasteland Bank, mirocu.

Blondie is now inside the "fabulous" Sierra Madre Casino. Now she has to deal with her companions, one way or another. The only one she cares about, is Christine, and Blondie will try to resolve with her peacefully. She doesn't care about a mutant with a split personality too much but if possible, she'll try and keep him alive. Regarding Dean...it was hate at first sight. They were forced to cooperate but if it were possible, they'd kill each other immediately. So Blondie will have no mercy for Dean - chances are that he'll try and kill her first but even if he doesn't initiate the attack, Blondie will make it sure that Dean doesn't come alive from the Sierra Madre.

Then she will hopefully meet her mysterious captor Elijah and settle accounts with him.

I prefer to keep them in my mattress


Wish I had played New Vegas. As it is I have trouble keeping up with those updates since I can´t relate to what´s happening...

It would be like a mirocu mod, right?

[Lopov]

I have a confession to make.

As with every character, Blondie is dead-is-dead as well. Or actually was. Because today she died.

Technically.

But I decided to reload. I don't want to lose a fully-fleshed 22-level character with a mind of her own to whom I invested more than 100 enjoyable hours and taken more than 500 screenshots. I RP-ed it in such a way that she had a vision about her death. This doesn't mean that I'll play without being careful from now on, but she isn't DiD anymore. I'm not sure whether what I did, is right or wrong, I still have mixed feelings about it, but for now I'll continue playing with her.

[mirocu]

I definitely think you made the right decision, Lopov

[SubRosa]

I do too. The reasons you gave are exactly why I never play DiD in any game.

[Lopov]

Thanks for the support.

So as it happens, Blondie survived the deadly Sierra Madre and is now back in the Mojave. She was immediately attacked by some fire geckos but she was actually glad to see them. Glad because she knows that she's finally back to where she belongs, instead of being locked up in a city of dead, filled with a toxic cloud and ravenous ghost people.

Now she'll probably take an extended vacation, doing absolutely nothing.

[Renee]

*claps*

Yeah, Blondie is just too precious. You're doing the right thing.
