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

Very cool way to seque into the Nevada Wasteland!

[Lopov]

That's a good idea of teleporting Trey from the Capital Wasteland to the Mojave, though he appeared in the wrong place at the wrong time.

[Renee]

How do you folks know he's about to go to Vegas?

[SubRosa]

The man in the checkered suit who shoots you in the head is the very first thing you see when you start a New Vegas game.

Things went dark for some indeterminate time and Trey wondered if this was what death was like- just another Vault?

But then he slowly awakened, with a nasty headache and a pleasant fellow asking him how he felt.

He was apparently a doctor, by the name of Doc Mitchell. At least he wasn't as grumpy as Doc Church back in Megaton. He did ask some strange questions, though.

And the gunshot to the head really scrambled more than Trey's brains- it appeared that a lot of the things he had learned how to do where no longer accessible. And then there was the whole business about him being some sort of "courier."

And people were talking about Nevada and California- which were a long, bloody way from D.C.

But one thing was familiar- the Vault 21 jumpsuit Doc Mitchell gave to Trey before sending him out the door into the town of Goodsprings...

101 or 21, it made no difference- luck was where you found it.

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!

Provoked friendly fire? Did you enter their locked building - or even just pick the lock? If so, they make it their business to hunt you down from here on out; increasing their patrols and searching for you everywhere and are extremely hostile.

I mean, why can't they just get over it; so I took some alien power cells!

But since my one bad experience with them over that, I've stayed out of their building.

By "provoked unfriendly fire" I mean shoot at an enemy so he comes after you, then use someone as a shield...


Today while shooting a raider with a poison dart in VATS, somehow Gunny joined in and shot at his head, killing him and making him fall over forwards at the same time while still in VATS

BOLD: BWAAHAA !!!!


Oh, that shot must have been cool to watch!

On a related note, I heard that vats will not stop time in FO4; so mob fights are going to be much tougher!

Following Doc Mitchell's advice, Trey went to the Goodsprings Saloon, looking for someone named "Sunny Smiles." Really? he thought to himself. What sort of name is that?

But then he met a girl. A girl with a rifle and a dog and red hair.

She offered to help him get his bearings, so Trey floated out of the saloon in her wake. If he hadn't already been half in love with the red hair, the way she filled her leather adventuring gear, or the way her voice seemed to caress his ears- the deal was sealed when she gave him a bolt rifle of his own and asked him to shoot at some empty bottles.

After that, when she asked if he wanted to help her chase some lizards away from the water tanks, he didn't have to think twice. She could have asked him to throw rocks at deathclaws and he would have thought it sounded like a great idea...

After the hunt concluded successfully- including Trey rescuing a Goodsprings resident from getting gecko'd- Sunny went on her way. Trey was trying to figure out what to offer a girl who had everything when a large mechanical man rolled up and introduced himself as "Victor."

That was the name the doctor mentioned- Victor was the one who had pulled Trey out of his premature burial and brought him into town to get patched up. So, even though this was a type of bot Trey had never seen before, he decided anyone who saved you from being buried (mostly) alive was a friend. The mech seemed to have some odd gaps in his memory, though, perhaps a mystery for another time...

Sunny Smiles... it was a perfect name, after all....

D'awww; it doesn't get any better than Sunny! And she's got that redheaded kryptonite thing going on too!

Just be thankful that Doc's head is not spinning around on its axis anymore. Back in 2010 we had more problems than just some weird questions.

Good luck Trey. Great idea to segue into the Mojave like that. Just remember to only pick fights when the odds are in your favor. Kind of like playing Blackjack with a Luck of 8!!

[Renee]

I like this!

And hopefully, no probes like those alien doctors!

Today I was running around with Gunny in the western area when I came upon a very wounded Outcast. Seeing as I already had some Power Armour I thought I could follow him, wait until he dies, take all his stuff and resurrect him. You know, standard procedure

But even though we met radscorpions, Talons and I don´t know how many raiders he simply refused to bite the dust. It wouldn´t have taken much either seeing as he only had one sliver of life left. All in all I followed him from where you find Vault 12 all the way up to the long bridge in the north; he simply refused to take a hit! Nothing got to him!

Well, at this point I thought he had deserved to just get along patrolling and with his now two slivers of health (don´t know how that happened) I left him somewhere on the bridge, going back again.



He lived to fight another day

Holy Crap!!! That must have been his lucky day or something!!!!

[Renee]

Yeah, that guy got lucky for sure, mirocu.

[mirocu]

Honestly, I don´t know how he managed to stay alive

[mALX]

That is really funny!

I was just watching an episode of Nova, when I recognized the narrators voice. It was Butch from Fallout 3! I looked it up, and it is indeed Craig Sechler doing both.

As the destructive fire consumed Megaton, brightening the entire Wasteland and forever erasing the town from the Capital Wasteland, Deeno, standing on the highest balcony of the Tenpenny Tower, thought...

...of Nova, the young girl whom he paid 120 caps to be serviced and wondered if he was perhaps her last customer...

...of Simms, the town's sheriff whom he insulted by calling him "Calamity Jane"...

...of Billy Creel who took care of some 9-yrs old girl called Maggie whom Deeno never met. And never will...

...of Gob, the ghoul bartender, whom Deeno forbade to look him in the eyes...

...of Jenny who always had fresh food on the menu...

...of Moriarty, whom he never met in person but kept hearing about him at every corner in Megaton.

All of these people and many others were now gone, their lives abruptly ended after pressing just one button. Deeno's thoughts were interrupted when Mr Burke rewarded him with 500 caps and handed him a key and a deed to a luxurious suite in the Tenpenny Tower. While this day signified the end of Megaton, it represented a promising start of a new chapter in Deeno's life.
