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

[McBadgere]

The Antagonizer is my only character to ever get near that high, and she was only at level 28 when I last played her. I seem to recall lots of albino radscorpions and overlords in her games as well. But she was so uber by then that even Deathclaws were no sweat.

I usually use a mod that reduces the amount of experience points you get. That way I almost never see albinos and the like.

Oh, I quite enjoy the God-Mode stage...One-hit kills and the like...

I have very little patience for challenges in games...If I can't do it easily, I can't be bothered...I have so little free time that it's pointless spending it frustrated and unable to do anything 'cause it's difficult...Y'know?...

Aaaamywho...

Arnaud found himself outside Arlington Cemetary...Fair dues, quite the sight...Anyways, nearby is a factory called Mama Dolce's Foods or something like...Completely full of Chinese Remnant Ghouls...Awesome!!...Chinese Assault Rifle Farm!!!...

I think I wound up with 18 of them!!...Booyah!!...

We pretty much only ever use those, so that's pretty handy...I stuck them all in the bedroom desk drawer...Along with the 30 other ones...And the 8 Fat-Mans (Fat-Men?)...50-odd Assault Rifles...12 Sniper Rifles...Etc. etc...I love the infinite capacity of the drawers... ...

I've got 300 Nuka Colas in the fridge too... ...

18 Bobbleheads and 66,000 Caps at the moment too...

I can't get the last Bobblehead for sure - it was in Raven's Rock...And that's gone now, obvs...Will have to go through what's there and look at the guide book to see where the other one is...

Nice scavving in Mama Dolces there, McB. Did the same some time back

Don´t think I have 300 colas but I got 56 (or so) Quantums which is very good considering I gave 30 of ´em away... mumble, grumble

[McBadgere]

So what level were you when last you played 'crou?...Sounds like you stuck to the same character for a while, like I have...

I've never tried to tackle the metro before...It's so complicated to actually walk...and so completely wrong when you go by the maps they have around the stations and trying to marry it up with the Pip-Boy... ...Like, the Blue Line...Goes straight, then north according to the station maps...The Pip-boy has the first two stations north and south...*Shrug*...

Methinks the departments should have talked more...

Having the Ghoul mask from Tenpenny Tower has really helped a huge amount though... ...

No kidding I have one character only in every game

Maxed out at lvl 20 a long time ago. Won´t ever go to 30 because of my second thing I always do in Beth games; avoid he MQ

About the metro, I found a nifty little mod that added rideable subway trains. Really added a lot to the atmosphere and they work well with the map so you can count the number of stops it makes before you get off

[McBadgere]

Oh, fair enough... ...

Erm...But doesn't simple ambling along push your level up anyways?...I'm getting a pile of XP just for finding places...And Lockpicking/Hacking...That's without the however much for the Super Mutant Overlords and stuff...

I ended up hugely enjoying the MQ when I eventually got around to it...And Broken Steel too...

Never done an MQ?... ...

Well, granted...I've only played 3 Bethesda-proper games, New Vegas doesn't count...I've never done the MQ in that one...

[mirocu]

Nope. After reaching lvl 20 it says MAX and I don´t get any more XP for anything

Never done an MQ?... ...

No That comes from when I was new to Beth and new to Oblivion. Bruma was the first town I got to after Imperial City and I loved it with all my heart directly. And because I was new to it all I thought that the box art showing the destroyed Kvatch was or could be Bruma and so I was terrified to do anything along the MQ lines that could trigger that to happen.

Plus, in these sandbox games all I want is to do my thing which is discovering places and interesting items

[McBadgere]

Oh, right...I've got the GOTY edition with all the DLCs...Which pushed the level cap to 30 (Apparently it's 30...Boy said it was...*Shrug*...)...

I know what you mean entirely with that...

But I do enjoy taking a break from just ambling and dungeon-diving to do some mighty questing...*Strikes heroic pose*...

How many hours is your Lorthran (Lothran? Lo-rider?...Apologies...Memory thing... ...) now?...It's proper epic time now, isn't it?...

Have the GotY as well but haven´t installed any DLC except Lookout. And McBoy is right, btw. Broken Steel pushes it to 30

Lo-rider

Lothran is correct and he´s fast approaching the 2K mark

I have to admit, as much as I loved J'zirlo on Skyrim...When I got to 200 hours I had no idea what to do next...

And the same with the original Arnaud on New Vegas...

I can't imagine 2thousand hours on Oblivion...

What do you do?... ...

2000...Ayyyy...


EDIT!!...McMighty Hero/McOfftopic... ...*Applauds*...

I applaud your 2k Mirocu! I'm the same with Lissa. before I switched to PC I was on almost 300 hours with her (not quite 2k ) I would simply spend hours doing nothing but dungeon diving and the odd set of chores. Lissa, as the Lady of Battlehorn and a protector of County Chorrol never had nothing to do.

but onto Fallout 3, I have FINALLY started playing with Dylan, who is now Dylan Suvari (A combo of the two actresses who have portrayed the character that inspired her).

I've already downloaded a mod which adds Amata as a follower, but only during a certain point of the MQ, so I haven't quite gotten to her yet, but I'm very excited for that point!

I found This Map helps a lot for getting around the metro. It was always a confusing maze before I started using it. It is not perfect though. It is missing L'Enfant Plaza, which links to the Mall at one end, and the Wasteland on the east bank of the Potomac, north of the Jeff Memorial.

Fair dues...Nicely done map...

It's gonna be fun trying to apply it to the actual in-game thing though... ...*Elbows McWife out of the way to get to map and then runs back to the sofa to carry on with game...Wonders what the hell he just read and heads back to computer again...*... ...

Can you click between it and the game easily on the PC then?...

Ta though...I'm really enjoying the wandering about for once...

I have the map on my second PC, so I can just roll over a few feet in my chair and look at it when I need to, then roll back to my gaming PC.

*Sniffs*...It's alright for some, eh?... ...

Oda Hidetaka has been explorating the western area of the map. From Dunwich she moved north, found Rockpolis with the remains of poor Argyle the Ghoul, and kept on going. She found Little Lamplight, and learned that some of the kids had been kidnapped by slavers. So a trip to Paradise Falls followed, and it fell to her sword. She even found the entrance to Vault 87, but could not get anywhere near to it due to the high radiation.

I'm sorry I haven't joined up with Fallout 3 like I was planning too, but it seems like y'all are having some fun anyways. Keep it going, it's fun reading all your adventures!

I've discovered it HAS to be summer or early fall for me to play Fallout. It's really weird, but it has something to do with the way the sun filters into my room. There's all this foliage behind my house in the summer time (it's literally almost a jungle with all the trees, birds, & insects) and it was somehow this environment that inspired me to play FO3 (and keep playing it) last summer.

I'm the same way with Oblivion and Skyrim. I'll probably play OB during the summer still, but Skyrim gets completely shut down. It's hard being in a cold, snowy (or drizzly rainy) environment if it's actually sunny and hot outside.

So if you lived in Nevada, you would be playing Fallout 3 year round?

Oda Hidetaka found something new to me tonight. There is a colony of friendly ants at Shalebridge. They were being attacked by larger, hostile ants, so Hidetaka went to the rescue. Normally she could care less about insects, including the giant variety. But it seems to her that the Wasteland could use more critters that were not trying to eat people. As Moira Brown said: "This bottom of the food chain thing really sucks..." So Hidie even gave their eggs a shot from one of her stimpacks, to help them grow (as giant ants go, the friendly ones are kind of runty).

[mirocu]

I see what you mean, Renee. I haven´t joined in either but that´s more because I have my mind set on Oblivion now and I have to act on it so it doesn´t go to waste. But I can at least report that I´m currently sitting in my Megaton house

@Sub - Oh! I remember that quest! Really liked it too in fact. I can´t remember if it was unmarked or if you got updates in your Pip-Boy but I guess it must have been unmarked..

Friendly ants?? Guess this means you can have them over for dinner. Ha ha

For the record, Joe King had just arrived to Megaton when I created him a few weeks ago. I shall resume his game some time in late May or June.

It was unmarked, but there were some hints in screen messages. I thought it was rather neat.

Or the ants might invite themselves over for lunch! What if we get an early heat wave? Maybe you could start playing Joe sooner? What if you put a hot lamp on behind your chair?
