Ia! Rattler! As a foulness shall you know him!
In other Fallout news, Victoria's game started to feel stale, so I decided to start up a new Hecate run through. This time I decided to start her out near Covenant, with the idea to use it as a home. That has not worked out so well. The place just has too many issues.
Even after you take it over, there are still items marked owned by the former inhabitants, and taking them is stealing. That makes the robot Deezer hostile. I would rather not do that because it is not necessary for one, and he makes some good lemonade (I think it is a 50 point healing item, which is nice in the early game).
I tried out a mod that is supposed to make everything unowned, but it does not work on everything. I also tried a mod that cleans up the garbage, but it does not get all of that either. I was able to clean up the destroyed turrets with the console. But I found another problem in the office building. There is a broken radio there that just puts out static. I could not remove it with the workshop, so I did it with the console. But it still makes the static noise in that area. That is really annoying me.
So I decided to give up on Covenant as soon as possible, and just use it as a place to sleep and store loot until Hecate can find a permanent home.
111 Cloverfield Lane is my thought on that now. I moved the exterior down south of the Drumlin Diner, and west of the Super-Duper Mart. It is near the train tracks and abandoned house that a lot of encounters happen at.
I took a look inside, and it is well done. Just like the movie in fact. I recognize a lot of the meshes and textures as Elianora's work, so the whole thing has the feel of one of her mods (which is a good thing). It is just like the movie (which was also good), but that aside, it has all the things you need in a lair. It is not a settlement that you can change things in. But it looks good. The author did some really interesting things with the workbenches, using different meshes for some. For example, the prewar stove is a real cooking station now. Kind of as it should be.
