This is weird. I was in the area of Rockopolis today and decided to go look for it as I haven't been there in ages. I did find it, but Argyle's body was nowhere to be found! I looked it up on the wiki and I know exactly where he's supposed to be and I do know I saw him when I first got here. No idea what has happened. I even did a bit of tcl but couldn't find him

[Renee]

Rockopolis, never heard of that. Is that part of Point Lookout?

Have you ever been to the other DLC locations like Anchorage and Pittsburgh? None of mine ever have. Cho should probably do PL or The Pitt this summer. I read about some 'inbred-looking swamp folk' in PL who brew moonshine and such, and that's got me curious.

December 21, 2126 ... 12:28 PM -- Stu Pitt discovers Shady Sands. He's walking around talking to people and so on. This game cracks me up. Since the guy's ST is pretty high he's really good at combat so far. But his INT is only 2. So everyone he speaks to is like "I can't understand what you're saying!" Stu Pitt isn't very articulate.

I really like the fact that we have to holster our weapons while trying to speak to civilized folks. They don't like it if Stuey's got a weapon in his hands while speaking.

Later.. Stu already got killed by a pack of mole rats. Goodbye Stuey. It's pretty tough navigating this game with a dumb oaf. Nobody could understand what Stu was saying, which really limits progress, I think. I might roll a thief next.

Rockopolis is part of vanilla Fallout 3. It is way in the south west of the map, up in the hills. It is really hard to find. It's just a little cave with a few things in it. But it is referenced in the Herbert Dashwood radio dramas. In the past there was a ghoul settlement there. Now most of it has been blocked off by a cave-in, and the body of Dashwood's faithful ghoul manservant can be found there.

No, and I'm surprised to learn you haven't been to Lookout! There's a woman there I have nicknamed Renee as I can sort of see you in her. Brewing moonshine and talking in an accent

At least should be found

Any idea how his body could have disappeared?



Edit: Reloaded a way earlier save and yes; Argyle is gone. Found the save where I first visited Rockopolis and he's there along with the bobblehead etc. No idea how/why/when his body disappeared.

Playing is ongoing. Last session I got a pretty good cap increase and today was spent runnin' and gunnin' as per usual. Kept to the mid-western part of the map.

[mirocu]

Spur of the moment session yesterday. Kept around the middle part of the map, killing Deathclaws and even following an Outcast patrol around for awhile. After that I sold all I could in Rivet City and right now it's a new day outside Megaton and Gunny is ready to head out again.

[mirocu]

As the month of September is slowly coming to a close, me and Gunny are visiting Rivet City for more than just selling. Which btw is impossible now as we just emptied all vendors from caps quite recently

We will soon depart for the Dutchess Gambit and I will once more embark on an excursion in Point Lookout as we enter October. This time with Vengeance as my main weapon.

[Renee]

mirocu, have you done all those quests in Rivet City over the years?

[mirocu]

Most of them except the main quest ones, obviously. Since I'm rocu

[mirocu]

I am now in Point Lookout. A little early but October is coming up so why wait

February 23, 2278: Janet is in Fort Bannister with her Talon Company cronies, where she just picked up a Renee-added mission to "break in" a new TC recruit, taking him up to Sat Comm Nav Tower. This is not an easy feat, by the way. The idea is to bring the guy up there without him getting killed, first. And we all know how "eager" NPC followers in this game can be...

[mirocu]

Yes, but we all know how to tackle that; have him stay in a safe place and scout ahead. Unless of course you have scripted enemies to spawn when he specifically enters a cell. But I wouldn't think so?

Wow, you know my techniques well! -- No, no scripted enemies; the idea is merely to walk the guy from Bannister to Sat Comm, all the enemies along the way are the typical randoms: raiders, mutants, mirelurks, etc.

Yes, usually a lot of mine will tend to tell their follower(s) to wait while we scout ahead. Janet does this sometimes, but it's harder to accomplish when we're in the open world. There is an option for Failure as well as Success during this revolving quest.

I have now made my way to the coastal grotto and Plik and I'm about to embark on yet another safari. Plenty of mines as usual as they are very helpful, and also Vengeance and a shotgun will assist me this year. I also expect the other two guys to help out as they are still there.
