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

I like the HIDDEN text in the first pic because it's not centered in the top as usual, instead it's to the left. How'd you do that?

That BoS guy is even more repetitive than Nils, the cook at Candlehearth Hall.

Yo, what's up I found it. Vault 112. I am here. Kinda neat how I found this place too. I was out walking up in the Wasteland, and saw this old building nearby. Started walking toward it, when this [censored] beast started attacking me. I don't know what the [censored] it was, but it was fast, and it was big, and it was mean. Break.

I start running for the building, of course. Thankfully it was unlocked. Went inside. Place is an old grocery store, much smaller than Super Duper Mart. There was some ...uhh.... molerats inside, but I took care of those easily, of course. So yeah, I found this old store, started looking around. Found a hidden switch or something, which led down here. Totally rad! Totally *unidentified word*! Break.

Nobody down here though. So far, there's nobody here. Rather spooky. Anyways, let's do a quick check. I got my 10 millimeter submachine gun for close range, and I got 232 rounds to go with it. Got an assault rifle for long range. 120 rounds for it. Both of these weapons are inaccurate, but I can spray my enemies with fire, if need be. I also got a sword, one of those mass-produced Chinese swords some enemies like to carry. Got a couple lunchbox mines, a couple regular mines, and twelve grenades. So if anybody's here, they'll have to say
"hello" to me, "and say hello to my little metal friend", no matter what. Break.

Okay. Gotta be quiet. Gonna do some sneaking around.

unidenified sounds, Pipboy app cannot decipher

[censored]. This place creeps me out. So weird to be alone. I wonder if they had some sort of mutiny here, like we had at 101.

unidentified sounds, Pipboy app cannot decipher .... 10 seconds ... 20 seconds....

Okay, somebody up ahead. Pipboy is indicating somebody friendly, too. Good thing. I don't feel like shooting right now. HEY! YOU UP AHEAD. .... MY NAME IS CHO ZENWAHN. Do not be afraid. I am ...

unidentified robot voice: Welcome to Vault 112, resident. According to sensors, you have arrived 202.3 years behind schedule. Please redress in your Vault-Tec [R] issued vault suit before proceeding. If you have misplaced your suit, I have been authorized to distribute a new one. Once dressed, please proceed down the stairs to the main floor, so that you may enter your assigned tranquility lounger.

Okay, what the [censored]? I gotta put on this stupid suit?

unidentified robot voice: The tranquility lounger is available. Please, be seated.

Yeah, but where the [censored] is it, you [censored] Robobrain?

unidentified robot voice: The tranquility lounger is available. Please, be seated.

unidentified sounds, Pipboy app cannot decipher ... 10 seconds .... 20 seconds ... 30 seconds .... 40 seconds ... 50 seconds ... one minute .... two minutes



Whoa. Now have a look at this. Don't know if the picture I just took shows it, but there's a bunch of people in here, stuck in these pods, with shaved heads and electrodes attached to their heads and bodies. That [censored] robobrain wants ME to get into one of THESE? I don't know about this bull [censored]. Hey, I just noticed something else. Each pod has its own computer, monitoring the dude or lady that's inside, and I checked all of these. It shows each person's stress level, heart rate, body temperature, and some other stats I'm not sure of. Anyways, some people are fine, but one of them looks to be dead. So yeah, excuse me if I'm a little hesitant to hop in one of these, okay? Break.

Whoever finds me, if I should wind up stuck in one of those [censored] pods for eternity, let it be known that ...

unidentified sounds ... Pipboy app losing connectability to subject Cho Zenwahn

Cho is getting tranquil!

[mirocu]

He´s gonna have a blast!

I love how the music gets more eerie the more stuff you do. It´s so happy and cheerful in the beginning...

[mirocu]

Ladies.....


Gents....



I am back in the Capital Wasteland

[SubRosa]

You should go explore the Alaskan Wasteland...

[mirocu]

Wow, already 191 downloads!


Sounds like a really nifty mod as I´ve already pointed out and I don´t doubt the quality, but how can you expect me to go to a snowy area now??

[SubRosa]

Think of it as one more opportunity to break out the snow plow!

[SubRosa]

Loviatar has traveled out west to Vegas. She went along with Sunny Smiles to clear out the geckos from the water springs. She has been careful not to go back into the Prospector Saloon afterward. Instead she's been exploring around Goodsprings.

She came across the Power Ganger outposts on the road between Goodsprings and Primm, and they didn't attack. This is a first for me, since I usually do the Ringo/Power Ganger quest immediately after the tutorial with Sunny. Out of curiosity Loviatar went to the prison, and was able to get in without a fight. She talked to the head Power Ganger Eddie, and he gave her a mission to assassinate a rogue ganger. That sounds just fine to Loviatar, so she is on her way to do some killin' (and eatin' )

Has anyone ever sided with the Powder Gangers to kill Ringo, and later tried to join them in the prison? I am curious, because I am thinking of trying it out with a Loviatar. The prison has a doctor who so far has not offered any services, and a merchant whose items are nothing special. Are they worth killing the merchants in Goodsprings over (GS has 3 vendors - Doc Mitchell, Chet, and Trudy)? So far it looks like not, and Loviatar has an eye on eventually killing the Power Gangers.

One of my first characters in FNV Sylvia Kinsky was the only one that killed Ringo and joined the Gangers. It's not really worth it because their merchants (the one in the cell block and the doctor) aren't as stocked as those in Goodsprings.

Loviatar can safely do Eddie's quest and later still turn her back on him. This is one of my favorite approaches of New Vegas - almost every quest has multiple ways to complete.

[SubRosa]

Loviatar spent the last few days questing performing missions for the Powder Gangers. First she assassinated (and ate) the renegade Powder Ganger Chavez. Then she chased off a mysterious merchant who turned out to be a bounty hunter by simply telling him that the Powder Gangers were going kill hm if he stayed around.

Yesterday she took an assignment to go to Primm to learn what the NCR's plans were concerning the prison. After bribing Johnson Nash she learned that the NCR was building up men to wipe out the prison. Up until that point Loviatar had been careful not to commit herself fully to any one side. But the writing was on the wall. The Powder Gangers were never going to amount to anything - as opposed to say Tenpenny.

Loviatar chose to be on the winning side. She went into the Bison Steve and ate all the escaped convicts within. Then she betrayed the Gangers to Lt. Hayes in Primm, and took part in the assault on the prison. She ate them all, just as she planned all along. Afterward she went back to Goodsprings, and ate Joe Cobb as well. Next up will be the Power Ganger outposts around the prison.

Now I wonder if there is any acknowledgement on the radio or in dialogue of the prison being retaken? I have never done it this way before, where the NCR actually storms the place and leaves a garrison there. In the past I have always had to go in alone and kill them all myself, which was always quite a fight! Now I see why it is so difficult a battle. It is intended for you and a bunch of NCR troopers.

I don't recall any new radio news regarding this, but it gets a special mention in the ending slideshow.

Loviatar is quite hungry, right?

[SubRosa]

Loviatar achieved the first Cannibal challenge during the after-battle feast. That gives her the Dine And Dash perk, which allows her to harvest corpses for meat rather than eat them on the spot. I also modded in a recipe to cook human flesh. Now Loviatar has a larder full of Cannibal Steaks. I might create some more cannibal cooking recipes in the future.

Mojave Master Chef!

[SubRosa]

Loviatar has now cleared out the western edge of the map, from Goodsprings all the way down the crescent canyon at the very southern end of the map. She is now 10th level, and out of curiosity I checked Loviatar's karma. After 86 corpses eaten she is... Good?!? Got to love the karma systems in these fallout games...

[Renee]

Hey, she's good at being a corpse-eater

[Lopov]

It's difficult to get and remain evil in FNV unless using mods. If she'll get around and kill Fiends, she'll be Very Good in no time because each dead Fiends grants positive Karma and since.

On the other hand, if you steal every owned book from Nelson, you end up as very evil. So looks like that stealing books is bigger crime than cannibalism in the Mojave.

[SubRosa]

Loviatar has been killing a lot of Powder Gangers lately. I am sure that is why the Good ranking. You get good karma for every one you kill. But you lose karma for every cannibalism. I guess you get more karma for killing Power Gangers than you lose for killing them!

Sounds like she'll need to head to Nelson if she wants to be evil!
