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

[mirocu]

I'm now spending some time in Rivet City, standard procedure before venturing over to Renee Country in October. This season has been much shorter than usual but I still want to play occasionally, it's just not 2014 anymore. I missed some parts of the map like the D.C tour and Clifftop Shacks, but I hope to cover them better next year.

Right now I am pumped to go to Lookout again and hunt the local yokels and of course doing the ghoul hunt!

[Renee]

Mirocu goes to Point Lookout in October, mirocu? ☢ Does Mirocu always do this every year, mirocu?

[mirocu]

mirocu always does

[mirocu]

Having jumped the gun a bit, I am already in Point Lookout. I'm still on the Dutchess Gambit though, taking in the scenery. Next time I will jump ashore and start making my way up NE to the ghoul hunt.


I hope I brought enough mines

So, since Khajiit finally got his PC at his current abode, we’ve decided to start a brand new Fallout3 playthrough! Going to run it mod light, with the only mods being the unofficial patch, the mod that makes the character models a tad bit prettier, weapons mod kits, iron sights, a mod that adds the dlc weapons and armor to certain base game leveled lists (really only going for Pitt and Point Lookout gear for this), and a few other select things I may tweak later (like maybe a player home). Was going to use an alternate start mod, but haven’t found one I like yet.

Welcome back to the capital wasteland. I think I am now wrapping up my Blood Raven playthrough of DC.

[Renee]

Going to run it mod light,

Yes... PLEASE go slowly with the modding! Every time we folks start up a new game you run into troubles.

What is your character's name? Don't forget to introduce him or her proper-like in this thread!

[TheCheshireKhajiit]

Found my first thing to fix. The character redesign mismatched a bunch of NPCs’ heads and bodies. Found a “fix” though, so will try that later.

[TheCheshireKhajiit]

That got fixed but then I noticed that the DLC distribution mod had Jericho running around in Ashur’s power armor! That had to change and so it has.

Having spent the night on the roof where it says HELP US, I have now arrived at the coastal grotto, ready to embark on yet another "safari".


As I haven't been runnin' and gunnin' nearly as much as usual, I have precious little 5mm ammo for my Vulcan minigun but hopefully I brought enough mines instead. Together with Sydney's Ultra 9mm and the shotgun, I hope it'll be enough.


Famous first words....

[mirocu]

The safari was completed with ease and Sydney's Ultra 9mm proved to be a better choice than the Vulcan, or even the Xuanlong. The former being too fast firing (and with the annoying ammo cap) and the latter not as high capacity. I didn't need all the mines either and could pick up quite a few after the onslaught.


Right now I'm just outside the detention camp, listening to the robots fighting the ghouls

[Renee]

Mirocu carries a minigun???

[mirocu]

Mirocu carries a minigun???

Have for a long time now carried a mod-minigun which is a copy of the real life Vulcan without the shotgun type spread of the vanilla minigun and I think twice the firing rate. Would be absolutely perfect against a batallion of Deathclaws if it hadn't been for the 255 ammo cap. It does take down anything quickly though, provided I can aim the thing

[mirocu]

I have now raided the camp, Trapper's shack and a few other places on my way south. While scouting Grower's house I managed not only to get surprised by a Scrapper, I also found a previously unfound tape called The Battle! I have no idea how I've managed to not see it all these years!
However I do know that discovery was the reason the Scrapper bested me; I was stunned!


Now I'm back on the boardwalk with my spoils which btw is quite meager this year. I'm going to go a bit beyond the boardwalk (rightward from the boat) and see if I can find another yokel. After that I will sell whatever I have to Panada and then return to the Dutchess Gambit. It's time to head home to hibernate.

[Kane]

I started a new Courier in the Mojave - looking forward to a second run. And since I have an idea of how things go from my first run, Billy ain't pulling any punches. After helping Primm get a new sheriff, he mopped the floor with the Legion scum in Nipton.

[mirocu]

Have fun in the desert, Kane! Make sure to pop in at Acadian's

[Kane]

Billy is having a good 'ol time sniping baddies. He even found a sleek black varmint rifle in cave near a Legion camp, after he freed some Powder Gangers. Legion hates him now, though.

[SubRosa]

Legion hates him now, though.

As it should be.

[Kane]

Yeah the Legion is an impressive level of scum.


Billy managed to recover the Platinum Chip from Benny and return it to Mr. House, who has more plans to implement with the Courier's help. Billy has plans to get out and explore a bit though. Which is bad news for the Fiends, since they attacked first.

[mirocu]

Having dispersed a Scrapper and a Brawler I sold off whatever I could to Madam Panada and travelled home. There I met up with Gunny and together we fought our way up to Megaton where said Gunny is now guarding the front gate with Deputy Weld.

I had enough stuff left to sell at this point so I got even more caps from Moira and Jenny and after healing myself and putting things in the correct drawer I am now sitting in my chair at the second floor of my home. Oh, and I have to mention I had to resurrect Panada today since apparently a mercenary had killed her off. Or it was a dog. Not sure, but both of them were also dead, so go figure.


This conclude the very short 2022 season. Well met in 2023!
