Acadian: That pack animal is called a Brahmin, its actually a mutated cow. They seem to be immune to radiation, and have two heads.

That is the DC Metro in that motorcycle pic! The Metro is a big part of the game, it is the only way to get from one section of the DC ruins to the next, as the rubble is impassible in many areas.

The inside of the helicopter was very neat. I was not expecting that. The big fireworks display was a lot of fun to watch at the end!


King Coin: Anty cannot let the big tin can do all the work. She has to set an example for her fans after all! I think she used almost 100 stimpacks following that close. But Anty can take it. She really is a superhero. I have never had a character with the hit points she does, or the stimpacks (she still had over 100 left afterward). Besides, I wanted to try out that MIRV, since I have never had a character use it before.

I had the same problem with figuring out the buttons my first time in that chamber, though being on the PC thankfully it is easier to push them.

The Tesla Cannon was weird. One shot would take out a Vertibird, which was really nice. Same with turrets. But it took two or three shots to take out the enclave soldiers. With its slow reload time, that could seem like forever. So Anty typically used her shotgun against those, except at long range.

I remember that satellite base that lets you call down the bombardment too! Its out in the north west corner of the map somewhere. That was a fun place.


With the destruction of the Enclave, it is time for The AntAgonizer to ride off into the sunset. Her work here is done citizen.

So I restarted my old ghoul character Medusa from one of her starting saves.

Medusa is a sniper

Out on a limb

Medusa takes a Nuka break

Medusa looks cool – as in below room temperature.

I adore her sniper rifle!

Heh, in front of that motorcycle at the theater, she looks like the quintessential biker chick! The clever tongue-in-cheek movie headliners and general post disaster feel with a big dose of 1950’s nostalgia reminds me of The Billboard Song by Homer and Jethro from back in the days of records and turntables and such.

[King Coin]

I pretty much broke FO3 when it comes to getting stim packs. I took almost any laser weapon to the Outcasts and traded them for stim packs. I had hundreds.

That is a very nice rifle. It’s got to be a mod, because I don’t remember the vanilla sniper rifle looking that nice. The hunting rifle was my go-to weapon most of the time in FO3 because the ammo was common. What does this one take?

That picture of her crouching on the beams, I half expected to see a big old peace sign on her helmet.

[SubRosa]

Acadian: I assure you Medusa is quite warm. Hot even, as in radioactive!

I love that M-14 rifle too. It's a classic. That is my favorite FO3 weapon mod.

I love those movie titles too! That is why I had to take picture there. Medusa does make for a great biker with her black armor. All she needs are some tats!


King Coin: I always find tons of stimpacks in my wanderings. After a while I have way to many to ever use.

That rifle is a mod. I tried looking for it again to link to it, but while there were several M-14 rifles, none of them were the same one I have. It does not really do anything impressive, only something like 28 damage or so. But it does not drift much, and can fire quickly, though it is still a semi-automatic. One thing I love about it is that you do not get an animation that works the bolt or lever after every shot, and moves the rifle barrel off target. Instead you stay aimed at your target with every shot. It has a relatively big magazine of about 15 shots, more than enough for all but the worst firefights. It takes 5.56 - which probably is not accurate - but at least ammo is never scarce.

Funny thing about the peace sign on the helmet. I did see a Full Metal Jacket helmet mod on the Nexus a few days ago!

Ms. Medusa goes to Washington

Step into the light

Hanging out with Linc

Surprise!

Boom!

Medusa is back at the movies

Warming her hands by the warhead

Not the master any more...

Looks like Medusa’s taking care of some of the politicians around Capital Hill.

That’s a neat light effect shining down from overhead on her.

Love the top hat! After all, looks like Linc no longer needs it.

More of those pesky Talon mercs. And it looks like they're using Dwemer space ball robots.

More movies! Love the rich detail on the the theater.

Loved warming her hands by the campfire warhead.

Like many of your characters, quite of few of her foes seem to lose their heads when nearby.

[King Coin]

I loved those trenches in front of the capital! I wanted a huge battle to take place there with artillery and machineguns.

Step into the light: love the light beams. Is that normal or a mod?

Linc: nice hat. Must have been in his museum already.

Surprise: Good shot!

I like the art style in FO3. They took something that I generally think of as light hearted and made it serious. Just look at the plane wreck with those fins! The robots!

You’re right about the M14, but who cares. They made a pistol and a rifle use the same ammo type!

[SubRosa]

Acadian: Medusa is cleaning up Capital Hill!

The top hat is one of the cooler artifacts in the game. It's Lincoln's Hat, and gives you a bonus to perception. The lever action rife in that pic is Lincoln's Repeater as well. One of my earlier characters wore the hat, a long coat, and used the Repeater. She had a whole Western theme going.


King Coin: Those streaming lights coming down from the grate in that one pic were pure vanilla. I saw that and just knew I had to take a picture.

Clearing out the bottom of the museum was easy as a ghoul! She only had the turrets to worry about. Aside from that, she just walked around picking things up.

I just love the whole 50s idea of what the future would look like that the FO games use. It has that great feeling of nostalgia to it.


Medusa is not impressed by the men at the swimming hole

Medusa found a door that goes to... nowhere?

Lately I have been playing Kunoichi, the white ninja

I have also visited with Aela as well

Swimming hole. Looks like the dude’s trying to show off what’s in his speedos – and Medusa’s not buyin’ it. I love her biker helm but must admit, the water doesn’t look too inviting.

Door to nowhere. Dungeons. Dungeons never change. Just this one’s made of steel and concrete.

Kunoichi. Little blond camo samurai! She looks unhappy but has a gorgeous pooch and katana.

Aela in beautiful Cyrodiil! I do believe the Roadstroker is a fashion genius. Several so labeled outfits grace Buffy’s wardrobe. The detail and fit is just top notch! And Aela’s wolf is beautiful; perhaps she visited our mutual friend and wise witch, Morcant?

[Grits]

I took me a minute to even see the door, lol.

I like Kunoichi’s gorgeous dog! And Aela’s wolf of course.

[King Coin]

Lol, I like the door screen. I do not remember that, where was it?

Both dogs are great! Looks like dogmeat got an upgrade. Is the Fallout one in some kind of a stealth suit? The blond hair on both women make them look similar. Great to put the two of them together.

[SubRosa]

Acadian: You're right, he is wearing a speedo! Ewwwww! You are right, Medusa is not one bit interested!

For some reason Fallout won't let me make Kunoichi look happy. It's all in how you move the sliders, and there are only two that control her mouth!

Aela was actually visiting Cheydinhal in that shot with the wolf. Thanks to Unique Landscapes, there are now a whole bunch of new waterfalls east and south of the city.


Grits: That door had me double-taking! How did they do that?

That is Dogmeat, everyone's favorite FO3 dog companion. I used a retexture that spiffs him up a bit.


King Coin: That door to nowhere is in Mama Dolce's. In the Food Distribution zone there is a big open area where you can look up and see two set of catwalks. There is a turret on the bottom of one of them.The middle catwalk has two doors like in the pic, they go to nowhere. I only got there by jumping down from the upper catwalk.

Kunoichi is wearing Recon Armor, with a camo retexture, that I further tinkered with to make it white.


Kunoichi meditates on the Potomac

She found this rocket throne somewhere in the wastes north of DC, between Canterbury Commons and Old Olney.

This is perhaps my new favorite picture of Aela

Relaxing by the waterfall

Nagastani looks so much different with Unique Landscapes

Interesting how happy facing seems to work in FO3. I found in OB that Buffy was not particularly smiley early in her game. Then as her fame, personality and everyone's disposition toward her grew, she began smiling at most folks. All that eyelash batting practice seems to have paid off.


I hope K-7 doesn’t fall into the Potomac. She might emerge looking like, well, perhaps a little scarier.

Oh, I like her hair – both the style and color. Loved the upside down clock on that rocket throne thing.

That’s a great shot of Aela. There is a console command to make a character look at anything you tell them to. Helps with screens sometimes.

Aww, relaxing by a waterfall with a handy tent/bedroll. Wonderful!

That pretty pond in the forest looks inviting!

[Grits]

I love that picture of Aela in the guild hall. The angle and light are just right.

What a pretty spot for a camp! The water looks so inviting.

Wow, Nagastani with a lot of trees! It’s neat to see it looking so different.

[King Coin]

Did she bring a bucket of drinks with her on the Potomac? Kidding.

It’s been a while but I know I’ve seen that throne before. It wasn’t next to a drive in theater, was it?

I love the little sprigs of green on Aela’s staff. I didn’t notice that before.

Love the waterfall and the pond. I am definitely using some of the unique landscapes mods if I play Oblivion again. First I need to find a Khajiit mod that makes them look better without turning them into humans with ears and a tail.

[SubRosa]

Acadian: If K-7 fell in, she might come out a mutant white ninja!

What is that console command to make characters look in different directions? I never knew there was such a thing.


Grits: That pic of Aela in the guild hall was just perfect. Everything came together for that one shot. I just love when those moments happen.

Unique Landscapes can really make the game all new again. At least certain of the UL mods. They are really hit or miss. That one is from the Ancient Yews, which really spices up the area south-west of Cheydinhal. That one, Cheydihnal Falls, River Ethe, The Panther River, Brena River Ravine, and some of the others are just breathtaking. But others like The Dark Forest or Jerall Glacier made me wonder why the modders even wasted their time making them. I highly recommend trying them. Just make .omods from them, so they are easy to uninstall if you do not like them.


King Coin: I wish you could bring a bucket of drinks with you in FO3! I think you were thinking of another rocket throne. That was was up in the north east, west of the Girsly Diner, and south of Old Olney. I think the toxic waste site with the Agility bobblehead is off to the west.

I think there are some high-definition Khajiit texture mods for Oblivion, and not the humans with a tail kind (which I do not like either, it just seems pointless to me). But its been so long since I looked at them I do not recall the names. Obviously they are nothing like the Khajiit in Skyrim though.


Hrafngoelir is sharpening up her axe to take on Solstheim (I found a way you can sort of skip Dragonborn's main quest using the console, and return the island to somewhat normal. Handy for playing non-dovah characters like all mine are).

Clearing out Raven Rock's mine with the Bloodskaal Blade

Relaxing off the southern coast

Night falls on Raven Rock

Woo hoo, Solstheim! I’m itchy to go back there. I’m glad you found a way to skip the sleeping annoyances. I once had a vampire character (non-Dovahkiin but had dragons) go to bed over-encumbered with intentions of shopping later that evening. Big mistake.

That’s a fun view with the Bloodskal Blade. I liked that barrow. It was almost like a puzzle.

Your southern coast and Raven Rock look much more colorful than mine. Maybe it’s the ashfall. Very pretty. The Raven Rock house is my favorite in the game.

Great to see Hrafn again!

[Acadian]

To get your character to look at something in OB: Enter console, and click the target item (an object, piece of wall, tree, sconce on the wall, etc). Then type in the command: Player.look XXX (where XXX is the displayed Hex ID of the item you tagged. Then hit enter and exit the console. Your character will now be looking at the object. If she yawns or does any sort of idle animation, she will reset and forget your command so, if you dawdle too long, you might have to repeat. When done, clear the command with the console command: Player.StopLook XXX. You can have a player also look at an NPC in the same manner and, of course, you know that you can get an NPC to hold still by tagging them with a ‘TAI’ (toggle AI) command. Also, I think I accidently discovered that perhaps you can leave off the Hex ID with the stoplook command.

Nice shots of H-10 with axe and blade.

Relaxing by the beautiful water, but it looks a bit chilly.

Very pretty shot in Raven Rock, with lots to look at from those interesting buildings flanking her in the foreground to that beautiful night sky!

[SubRosa]

Grits: I like Solstheim. But I hate the way its main quest makes it impossible to sleep. Not to mention the way it makes everyone work on those silly All-Maker Stones. BTW, do the map markers for those look like sex toys to you too?

Hrafn has always been one of my favorite characters. But she is just so powerful now that playing her is not much fun. She just steamrolls over everything without breaking a sweat. Plus she has nearly 40k gold already and nothing to spend it on. Not counting all the glass swords, suits of ebony armor, and the like she has just laying around.

Acadian: Thanks for the head-tracking info! I have never seen that in any of the console command lists.

Thankfully Hrafn is a Nord, so chilly to us is warm to her. Those Raven Rock buildings are the Dunmer Redoran-style from Morrowind. A lot of things on Solstheim are throwbacks from Morrowind, like the Bonemold Armor.


Hrafn found the highest point on the island

On the lookout for danger

These are werebears?

These are werebears!

The biggest spriggan I have ever seen

These little rugrats have the cutest voices...

Thanks, I thought those buildings in Raven Rock looked Morrowindesque! Sort of like stone mushroom house things.

Highest point on the island. Yay, Hrafn found Mount Suribachi! And, sure enough, that looks like a flag up there! February 23 1945,

A great lookout point, with beautiful water, mountains and trees.

WereNords and WereBears! That’s what happens when Hrafn wears that snazzy steel bear beanie.

Wow! That looks like a Sequoia Spriggan!

Aww, what an adorable little goblin/smurf/gremlin thing. . . with teeth.

[King Coin]

You got into Solstheim before I did!

Nice axe (I’m a little behind), is it part of the DLC or a mod? These pictures are making me want to skip the MQ and go straight there. I shall resist!

I thought Raven Rock was in FO3! Speaking of which I picked up FO3 for $5.

Very impressive view of the volcano.

Clone wars!

That is the first werebear I have seen. Interesting creatures. I prefer the wolf.

What are those rugrats?
