Acadian: She was trying to get into Vault 81 (the still working Vault) in the caving pic. That was a surprise to find that there were still people living in a Vault look. It is a pretty rare thing in the Fallout games. Most of the Vaults were wiped out by Vault-Tec's social experiments, which were really horrific at times.
Based on the first picture, I was going to say it looked kind of cozy, with the teddy bears and nice little touches. Then the other pics showed that it really is quite a large place. Nice digs!

Acadian: Homeplate is like a loft apartment. It is basically one big L-shaped room, with a couple small loft areas over the small part of the L. It is centrally located on the map, and because it is smaller than the other settlements, makes for a relatively easy place to set up a home.

One of the neat things about F4 is that you can shoot parts off of some creatures, like robots and feral ghouls, and they still keep on going. That one Robbie had its head shot off by Raiders, but he still had his electronic brains intact.
That is an elevated train in that one pic. It runs along the bottom of an elevated highway. Or at least it did. If you have a jetpack you can leap out and fly to the rooftops below, or the road above.
Darryl the ghoul is giving me ideas. I might have to create him as a companion for Persephone.

Acadian: There are other classic Grognak comics in the game, like Lost in the Snows of Lust, or Fatherless Cur! There are ten Grognak comics in the game, each with their own cover. A modder (Elianora) took them and turned them into t-shirts, her Eli's Armor Compendium mod randomly puts them on some people in the game, along with her other modded clothes.

Acadian: I smiled when I saw the museum. Hecate is the Queen of Witches after all.
There is a quest about a stolen Deathclaw egg that starts in the Museum of Witchcraft. Some mercenaries stole the egg, only to find themselves pursued by a Deathclaw. By the time you come along it is munching on the last of the mercs. It is really creepy the first time you do it. You have to fight the Deathclaw. But once you get the egg you can choose to return it to its mother, or complete the merc's contract and take it to their employer. I have always returned it to MamaClaw.

Acadian: Deathclaws are definitely the top of the food chain in Fallout. I try to avoid them just because they are also my favorite critter. So I would rather not have to kill them. Sometimes Hecate will come across a Deathclaw in the distance fighting other creatures, like giant radscorpions. She will use her sniper rifle to pick off the scorpions at long range. Then use a stealth boy to disappear before the Deathclaw can notice her.
