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

[mirocu]

Raided Point Lookout today. Not the whole place but I got through the NE part as well as the detention camp which, for the first time evah, was completely empty. I swear I left the bots up and running when I left the place last year! There usually are at least a couple ghouls there if anything.

I also for the first time took Pilk's safari offer. Not what I had expected and a little bit underwhelming, but I suppose it could be a fun thing to do once every fall

[Lopov]

They probably "forgot to spawn" when the cell loaded. If you saved the game in the middle of the camp and reloaded, you'd probably end up swarmed by bots. It happened in Ally's game when she entered the completely empty camp then had a CTD so I had to reload, and all ghouls and bots were back.

The last one in that cell was Tommy Torini.

Who the hell is that? I had to use the Fallout wiki to check on this guy. If any of my characters ever met him, I obviously forgot all about it.

EDIT: He even has a quest linked to him? Interesting, now I'm even more sure I've never ran into him or at least I've never talked to him. I wondered, though, why the guy in one of Novac motel rooms has an option during dialogue, asking you if you know anyone in search of singers. He's related to Torini's quest.

I think there are four entertainers that you can recruit for Torini. There is that guy from New Reno in the Novac hotel. There is another guy with a guitar who sits beside the highway between Helios One and the Boulder sign. I forget who the other ones are.

I even looked at Torini in the Geck, and I do not see anything about him that is different from Benny's other henchmen. He is in the same factions as the Rad Pack, whom I did not get Shunned for killing. His alignment is Neutral (same the Rad Pack and the Chairmen). And he shot first, same as all the others. But he was definitely the trigger.

There's a ghoul comedian from The Atomic Wrangler and a human comedian who is hanging out by... one of the Casinos, maybe right outside The Tops.

My character has now returned from Point Lookout. He's still on the boat though and will head back to Megaton for hibernation tomorrow.

Most notable thing this year was Plik's safari. I think it can become yet another annual tradition

Monday, March 1, 2278, early morning.

Cho Zenwahn is in Megaton, in Moriarty's where he spent the night. Colin is walking around in his underclothes like some perv. But Cho is about to head southwest to Rockland Car Tunnel to meet up with some Paladin. Broken Steel stuff. Since his game is now on PC, I already made a follower for him to travel with. Some other guy who I imagine lived in Vault 101. I'm thinking of adding some music to his game too, but it'll be old country tunes, and jazz and stuff which fits the game a little more. No heavy metal like Janet's got in her game.

I'll add a proper Cho update at some point. Maybe this weekend.

The Broken Steel stuff was cool. Lots of big battles. The final one in the mobile base crawler was awesome.

[mirocu]

My character is now parked in his home in Megaton. All went well in *cough* Renee Country *cough* and now the season is over.

Most noteworthy this year:

*Passed half a million bottle caps
*Partook in Plik's safari


I wonder what 2018 will bring? This will be hard to beat

Cho here. Hey alls. Well it's ... so much has happened, Pipboy App, I don't know where to start. Well let's start by going back to where it all started. Which was me waking up a couple of weeks ago. Like, I don't remember much of what happened, but alls I know is when I came to, there was some older guy, telling me all sorts of thigns. I had basically fell over inside of the Jefferson Memorial, trying to activate some computer for Project Purity. Couldn't make it work though. The radiation was too strong. I don't know. None of this I remember at all. Last thing I remember was running along with some giant robot. And I mean, really big. As big as a building! Break.

I need to keep this short. Making these recordings really puts a drain on my Pip Boy. Anyway, apparently the Enclave is defeated, and Project Purity has been implemented. They say the water is fresh, back in the Citadel they say this. But I don't know. Something is still wrong with it. I'd rather drink dirty water, to be honest. Break.

I met up with a guy in Megaton. His name was Phil.... *unidentified word*. I think his last name was *unidentified word*. [censored]. I don't think my Pip Boy App knows that word. It's because his last name is not really a word. Heck, what does it matter now? The guy already got killed. ... Turns out, Phil was yet another defector from Vault 101. Yup. He escaped from there. I didn't know him very well. But we began traveling together toward Tenpenny Tower. He was pretty good. Got cut down yesterday though, unfortunately. Dammit. He was good. But no match for a [censored] deathclaw, face to face. Break.

Tenpenny Tower was great to visit again. Matter of fact, I've got a place in there now. I've got my own apartment, rented for the next month or so. Really swanky! I can't wait to make it mine, you know? Damn. I wonder what Marge is up to. Break.

And now I am here. At Rockland Car Tunnel. About to meet this lady.

*unidentified sounds, Pipboy App cannot decipher .... 10 seconds ... 20 seconds....

Okay, I see someone ahead. Not a lady though. Looks like one of the Citadel paladin guys. I'm walking up to him now. ...HEY! ... Hey you! My name's Cho. Cho Zenwahn.

unidentified male voice Hey, it's good to see you awake! Paladin Tristan is just inside. He's waiting for you.

Oh, Paladin Tristan is a man? Okay, my bad. Well hey. Can you tell me what all this is about?

unidentified male voice: Head on in. Tristan is waiting for you.

Cool. Got it, my brother. Guess I'll head on in. Break.

Well, it's good to make another recording again. Not much more to say.

Great fun to listen in on Cho's memoirs as he records them on his Pip Boy.

[SubRosa]

Great to hear not only about the Cho Zen Wan, but also his old pals from the Vault, like Marge.

[TheCheshireKhajiit]

Cho sounds like a bro, bro.

[Lopov]

I usually install a mod after completing the MQ which purifies the water of the Capital Wasteland so there's at least some effect ot activating the purifier.

Enclave might not yet be defeated, Cho...

[mirocu]

Haven't read Cho's updates in awhile, nice to see he's still going strong though

[Renee]

Cho sounds like a bro, bro.

Cho's a bro without a fro, yo.

Thanks for the warm welcome folks, he says to anyone hearing his voice.

Cho here. Woo! Just got done tearing apart the Enclave Satellite Facility, heavens to mercy that was a lot of fun! ... They basically sent me in there with a few reinforcements, but they were all wearing power armor. Not condusive to sneaking around in. My gosh. Wonder if I'm getting paid for all of this? Break.

Basically though, we stormed the place, about 30 0f us, plus that giant robot guy. His name is Liberty Prime, Pipboy App, or at least that was his name. Poor guy fell. Yup. They got him somehow. Ever seen a robot as big as a house blow to pieces? Well you're about to. Break.

Because once I got in there, you know, once I was in the facility, I began luring those Enclave out, one by one. You know.... if *unidentified sound* too tough, I'd have to lure them out. But half of them, I managed by myself with bombs, my assault rifle, and, of course, lots of luck. And if I couldn't take 'em, it was then time to sweeten the honey, so to speak. Lure 'em out. Once the Enclave were outside, maybe one or two at a time, they'd now have to deal with an entire platoon of Brotherhood! Yeah, that was bad ass! Break.

And the cool thing was, as I was downloading all their satellite data, which we're gonna use somehow to learn some of their secrets, I happened to get into another section of their mainframe. Which housed all sorts of pictures. Apparently, they got that whole place rigged up. The whole time we were attacking them, their security cameras captured the whole ordeal. Here, have a look.

The one I just linked to above shows one of the Enclave, about to take a bomb in the face from Liberty Prime!

ESF.bmp.03.03.78-31

ESF.bmp.03.03.78-33

ESF.bmp.03.03.78-37

I am in the ones above. That little guy in the lower right, under the mushroom cloud. Pretty sure that's me. Nobody else is wearing that kind of armor, anyway.

ESF.bmp.03.03.78-42

That last one. Kinda hard to see, but it shows the remains of poor Liberty Prime. So sad. But for them, not for us. So sad for the Enclave. That was their mistake, not ours. And so their days are numbered. Break.

Here, I think I've got enough daily RAM to take just one more shot. Hmm. Let me see if I can set this little tripod up. There. Talk to ya later.

Love that pic of the A-bomb being lobbed into that Enclaver's lap!

I still remember the first time losing Liberty Prime. It hurt just like losing a regular companion. He may have just been a robot, but he felt like a person to me.

[Lopov]

Great action shots!

You've become more skilled at taking them, moving the camera further away from the action and taking pics at different angles.

Lopov shot (Helmet Edition) to wrap it up.

[Acadian]

Nice style, Renee, letting Cho tell his story via pipboy and pippix. Cho sounds like he really enjoys 'venturing.
