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

Gob took over the bar. Moriarity's name was crossed of one of the bar's signs, and Gob's scrawled over it.

That is pretty neat! I knew that Gob ran the show but didn't know that the sign was changed.

I've had one spawn as soon as I go inside the trailer with the schematic in it - was trapped in there and ran out of ammo, lol.

Ha! That is brilliant. I would have loved to see the panic on your face.

On a side note, I was watching the Aussie Rules Football last night between Essendon and Port Adelaide, and after the game they were setting up the press conference for the coaches. One of the people who was helping out turned and walked to the camera. He was wearing a jacket/top that had the NCR flag on the front, complete with the dual headed bear. The man casually walked out of frame at the next moment.

It was awesome! Fallout fans are everywhere!

Edit-
Oh, and I have just started a new play through for Skyrim. I was planning to devote half my time to NV and Skyrim before number 4 comes out. The only problem is that I have got bored in the first half hour. Man I hate that game. Why am I bothering?!!!?? It just feels like one big empty shell of a game, walking and exploring and nothing else. I hate the perks, I hate the magic system. Give me Oblivion any day.

So, taking advice from Mirocu, I think I will start a new Fallout 3 game along with NV.

Or maybe just play NV.

I need help...like medication...now.

Somebody please help.

That is so funny the guy in the NCR stuff!!!! I would love to see something like that!!!

You should play some FO3, that's true. There are plenty of us (or our characters) in the Capital Wasteland right now.

It is okay. I solved the problem by throwing Skyrim over the back fence last night. I am sorry to all those who love the game, but despite trying my best, it is not possible. I feel sorry for the world artists who have put in a very good effort. I really loved the way the sky and mountains merge, the way the forts were framed against the sky. But that is it.

User interface, oh dear, map, oh dear, repetitive enemies, oh dear, bland role play between different characters, oh dear, limited amount of magic without mods, oh dear, kill cams that result in your death and there is nothing you can do, oh dear, perks in ES, are they serious?

I feel cleansed now. Back to NV.

Like you, I have had a really tough time trying to like Skyrim. There are some things I love about it, but they are so in the minority of my impressions of the game.

What I found in ESO was everything I hoped to find in Skyrim, which is why I am finding it really hard to even open up my Skyrim game anymore.

[mALX]

Make sure to check on Tenpenny himself, he has an unusual hobby and can sometimes be seen "doing" it.

I'm dying to know what this is, I've only seen him shooting off the balcony, lol.

[Winter Wolf]

That is awesome what you say about ESO, mALX. Hopefully that will force BGS to lift its game with the Elder Scrolls series. Fetch and carry quests grow tired after a while.

Elmer Fudd is now spending a bit of down time before he goes after Benny. Recruiting performers for the casinos is a great laugh. I like the way it alludes to the 'adult content' in the various acts and backgrounds of the performers. I wonder if Beth will have the courage to add the allusion to mature content in Fallout 4? I guess if the demographic audience is 13-15 years old then there is not much hope...

After playing around on the strip Elmer is planning to head over to Vault 3. Something about Fiends has popped up on his pip-boy. Time to lay down the hammer.

[SubRosa]

You should have created Elmer in FO3. Then he could have used the Wazer Wifle...

That would have been a match made in heaven

Pip Boy Recording App ON, Date: Sunday 12:28 PM, October 27, 2277

Hey there. I am deep within some metro tunnels, looking for a ghoul named Roy Phillips. I met this man ... ahh ... ghoul outside of Ten Penny Towers. I remember him. Seemed nice enough. Not all ghouls are evil, rotten creatures. Since I have been out here in the Wasteland, I've met a few intelligent ones. Roy is one of these. Break.

*unidentified word* Ten Penny wants this guy Roy's head on a platter, and he's sent me to do it. I know that seems contradictory to what I just said about him being nice, and now that I'm here, I'm not so sure it's entirely necessary. Roy's got his tunnels inhabited by all sorts of non-intelligent ghouls. "Feral" is what the residents of Ten Penny Towers call them. I had no problem taking these monsters down, none at all. I'm not saying I'm the best man for the job, matter of fact I struggled with a few of these ferals. Had to use my bat, when I'd prefer my gun. But I got them all, and here I am. Break.

Let me go and speak to this Roy Phillips guy. Maybe I can reason with him. Ten Penny residents have been complaining about ghouls, but as long as I can get Roy to keep those things away from the tower, I don't see why we can't strike up some sort of truce. I will go see him now.

unidentified sounds ... Pip Boy app cannot decipher ... 10 seconds ..... 20 seconds ... 30 seconds....

Unidentified male voice: Hey there.

unidentified sounds, Pip Boy app cannot decipher .... 10 seconds ....

Roy Phillips? Is the person I am about to speak to named "Roy Phillips?"



Roy Phillips: What do you want?

My name is Cho. Cho Zen-Wahn. I am from Vault 101. You and I met outside of Ten Penny Towers a few days ago. You wanted to get in the place, but they wouldn't let you. Because you're a ghoul. So, what's on your mind Roy?

Roy Phillips: Biding our time, making plans, getting ready. Ten Penny and his pack of *unidentified word* can't stay in that tower forever. We've got rights, and we'll take Ten Penny Towers if they won't give it to us.

No way. Not going to happen, Roy, not if I can help it. You know why I have come here to see you, right? I just wasted all your ferals after all, one by one. And I can spare you if you choose wisely. But you'll have to leave Ten Penny alone.

Roy Phillips: Not sure where you come from kid, but out here in the Wasteland everything is up for grabs. Ten Penny didn't build that tower. He found it. And removed whoever was living there before him. Now we're gonna take it from him. We tried playing nice, but they shot at us. [censored] 'em, it's time for them and their bigot ways to die.

So that is your answer? Not smart. You're asking to start a war. The place they've got is highly manned, with lots of guns and ammo. It'd be suicide for you.

Roy Phillips: You got a lot to learn kid, a lot. Like how to piss off an angry ghoul. You want to live, you best leave our affairs alone.

As I said, I already wasted most of your ferals. Which means you cannot take them as you stand. You'd have to go all the way downtown to build up an army worthy to take down Ten Penny. Good luck with that.

Roy Phillips: So you killed a bunch of feral ghouls, am I supposed to be impressed? I've got no sympathy for those homely bastards. But there were enough to keep out smooth-skins like yourself.

Last chance, Roy Phillips. Last chance to back off from Ten Penny. As you said, everything out here is up for grabs, and it looks like *unidentified word* Ten Penny has already grabbed his share.

Roy Phillips: Ghouls aren't built for luxury and comfort is that it? You think ghouls should be scurrying around in the dark tunnels, not living in some sturdy tower? You got a lot of nerve.

Not about that at all, but you've run out of chances, and I've run out of patience.

unidentified sounds, Pipboy App cannot decipher...10 seconds ... 20 seconds ..... 30 seconds ... 40 seconds....

Phew. Yikes, that wasn't pretty. But I rigged everything which just happened. Put a couple mines on the floor in strategic places, shot Roy Phillips in the head, lobbed a grenade. Those who survived didn't manage to make it past my floor mines, and there were several of them in there. Hey, I don't like it when people take such lawless attitudes, not that I'm any example, but when it comes to choosing sides, I'd rather choose those who have been kind to me, and the people of Tenpenny fit this bill. Plus, I'm hoping the guy who owns the place, named unidentified word spelled A L I S T A I R, will give me a place inside of Tenpenny, now that I've taken care of his little problem. Break.

Tenpenny is a pretty sweet place to live. You should see it!

"Had to use my bat, when I'd prefer my gun. But I got them all, and here I am."

Love this part, it sounds so natural. Guns are definitely more handy against ghouls since feral ones are "masters" of tearing armor apart.

Roy looks great too, I mean as great as a ghoul can.

"My name is Cho. Cho Zen-Wahn. I am from Vault 101."

Cho da rapper.

Well R.I.P. Roy Phillips. Cho saved a lot of lives.

[SubRosa]

A baseball bat against Ferals? Sounds like Cho got some base hits, and a few zbi's (zombies batted in )

I created a mod that marks Roy is evil, so you don't lose karma for killing him. I also disabled Three Dog's comments on the radio calling you a bastard for doing it. I have not had the chance to test it out though. Want to try it?

As he rested from taking out the Cryolab generator on Mothership Zeta (and from listening to Tercorien's yammering), Trey kept having a recurring dream...

He asked Paulson, the real live, Old Earth cowboy, to assist him in the hangar. And Paulson kept dying. Trey tried mining the entries the aliens would use- he tried blasting them with the pylon towers, he tried lurking closer to the doors they came from- but Paulson died every time. And then, when he woke up at last, Trey realized... if he doesn't take Paulson WITH him, the cowboy won't die...

So, with two of the three generators disabled, Trey decided to check out the cargo hold. Apparently, the aliens have an abiding fascination with the Giddyup Buttercup horse- or else they transported the entire factory with them. Trey's only regret is that he can't find a way to bring a couple of the horse with him to add to his Megaton house's Pre-War decor.

I can if no one else feels up to it. Roy doesn´t pose any threat to anyone unless you do the quest so I just left him in the sewers, but I can take him out in the name of mod-testing

[Lopov]

Even on my 3rd playthrough of Point Lookout I still didn't find Ruzka, the pre-war wonder bear, now a feral Yao Guai. I refuse to look on the Wiki where is she located but so far no luck. I assume that her lair is an unmarked location but still, I searched most of PL (at least I think I did) and still not a clue about her.

The most possible option is that she's located somewhere very close to map borders or even slightly over them because there might be some places which I missed.

A fresh victim! Muuuhhhaaaahhhhaaaa!

Erm, I mean thanks for volunteering to test it out.

Here is a link to Kill Roy Phillips. I mainly just want to make sure I deleted all of Three Dog's negative comments about killing him.

Yes, that was weird losing Karma, that's for sure. Cho's first time losing some. Then again, Tenpenny doesn't have the best of intentions. It's a grey area, all of it.

This made me giggle.

I love that Giddyup Buttercup horse! And most def wanted to see it on my shelf and desk at home too!

Thank you, thank you! I've always hated that quest because of what 3 Dog says about you afterward; and knowing what the ghouls do to the residents of that tower if you use the mediation ending - no way in heck they were going to be in there, lol. So I've always killed them and let 3 Dog call me prejudice; but hated it when he did.

The karma hit was easy to handle, I just went to the St. Monica church in Rivet City and dropped a few donations off, lol.


This is awesome! Thank you so much !!!

I've never found her either; and I know where she is supposed to be! I thought she may have been left out of production, but she wasn't because other people have found her. So I must just not have looked far enough,

[SubRosa]

I have found her every time. It is not easy to get to where she is. It helps if you have the border regions disabled, so you can move past the map edges. But you can still get to her within the vanilla map area.

[mirocu]

Usual routine commenced today

Found an extraordinary amount of Outcasts this time. From Lucky´s up to Lamplight I must have encountered at least five of them in three or four different patrols. I also came across two Outcast Robobrains.

At least one Outcast was found dead, got looted and resurrected. And another "got killed by provoked unfriendly fire" , looted and resurrected. So now I have a completely repaired Outcast armour set!

[treydog]

After much creeping about through corridors and blowing up of generators- plus bonus shooting of many aliens in the head- Trey reached the bridge of the alien ship and killed the Captain. (He also managed to find 2 Buttercup toy horses- yay).

The Captain and his crew fell to a few well-placed disintegrator shots, and then a space battle ensued. Once it was all over, Tercorien mumbled and stumbled around until finally explaining that he had launched a homing beacon that should get Trey back the to vicinity of D.C....

However, it didn't quite work out that way....

After stepping onto the teleporter, Trey felt himself being.... stretched.

When he regained some semblance of consciousness, he was somewhere that looked and ... smellled... far different from the D.C. Wasteland. But even as he tried to process all that- a fellow in a garish checked coat said something about "Sorry you got in the middle of all this," and proceeded to pull an automatic pistol and shoot Trey... in the head... giving him a taste of what the many aliens must have experienced...

To be continued?
