Blondie traveled with Veronica for a few days but she's again alone from today. While Veronica was good in combat, Blondie didn't like that there was always someone walking behind her and she's used to traveling alone.

Besides, Blondie has become a serious bounty hunter and she wants to deal with her victims alone. Not to menion that her way of talking and behavior can get crude at times, which is a consequence of her improper upbringing because she was more or less forced to look after herself alone, and it wasn't easy for a girl to survive the dangerous wastes.

Veronica, on the other hand, is educated, talks in a fine way and would be a perfect daughter-in-law if only she was interested in men. So she didn't really connect with Blondie. They parted ways as friends at the Powder Gangers Camp South and promised to have a drink together next time Blondie passes through the 188 Trading post.

Blondie's plan is to get to Novac via a shortcut and from there continue her search for Tony Idaho, a new drug lord in the Mojave. Her primary weapons are still the combat knife and Plasma Defender but she also carries a Laser RCW to kill her enemies from afar - but for now the Laser RCW is still unused by her.

I was at Meijer yesterday, and there as an employee sweeping up the parking lot who was wearing a Stormchaser Hat. I swear it was just like that, except he did not have the goggles. I was tempted to ask him if it really did give him a +1 to Perception, but I didn't think he'd understand...

Ha ha maybe he plays some Fallout, eh?

Today something happened that hasn´t happened in a very, very, very long time. Megaton settlers run up to me and give me stuff for my assistance. Maybe they´ve decided they´re thankful again...

[Lopov]

Maybe you did something that increased your karma?

I guess it is possible that I´ve let my karma down a little, but if that´s the case it wasn´t noticeable. Still am the Last, Best Hope..


And today I heard something I don´t think I´ve heard before. While fighting mutants one of them shouted "Hot potatoe!!"

[SubRosa]

I think I may have heard the "hot potato" before, when throwing grenades. Usually they just say "run away!"

[mirocu]

Thing is, I didn´t throw a nade at the time. He said it though just as I locked him in VATS to throw one..

[SubRosa]

My favorite is throwing grenades at Raiders, and hearing them say "Oh [censored]!" and then BOOM!

YES!! I love it when they react like this. They lose all their machismo. My favorite is "[censored] this, I'm outta here!"

Blondie spent six days in Novac with her boyfriend Andy who is 30 years her senior, but now it's time to say goodbye for awhile. Andy accompanied her to Harper's shack and now they're sleeping there - in the morning Blondie will continue via Primm Pass to Primm to her employer Steven Randall, while Andy will return back to his bungalow in Novac.

Thanks to Blondie, Interstate 15 is free of deathclaws and thus passable again. She picked the beasts off from a safe distance with YCS/186, a powerful variant of the standard Gauss Rifle. She didn't really get paid as much as she hoped for, but the passable road is also an advantage for her because reaching northern parts of the Mojave is now significantly easier.

[SubRosa]

I remember doing that with Lonesome Dove. I think it took over a hundred rounds from her Anti-Material Rifle.

[Lopov]

It took her a lot of MF cells too but she didn't do it in one time, she cleared out surrounding areas about a week before she cleared out the inner place. From a distance, deathclaws didn't stand a chance against YCS/186 but from up close they'd still kill her in a few seconds, I guess.

I am doing some gaming with Cho Zen~Wahn today. He is ultimately following his father's footsteps, but right now needs caps & supplies. So he's exploring the metro system, killing ghouls mostly

Goodbye to 2281, hello to 2282!

Blondie spent the New Year's Eve alone, sitting on a porch outside her motel room in Novac, smoking cigarettes and drinking absinthe. The night was even more quiet than usual and it looked like even NCR and Legion gave each other some rest. With Andy gone, she doesn't have anyone to celebrate with, not that celebrating is popular in the Mojave anyway. Some fear her, some shun her, some respect her, yet they all know there's blood on her hands and that's why nobody likes to have her around.

"Such is life of a bounty hunter. Lone and bloody."

[SubRosa]

Here is an appropriate theme song for Blondie

Since Lopov forced me, I rolled a new FONV toon to beat the game with, Cyhiraeth, the Irish Adventurer. I have had an idea kicking around in my head for some time for an NCR secret agent. She is someone so secret that the rest of the NCR in the Mojave does not know about her. Maybe someone working directly for the President. Her mission is to infiltrate New Vegas, get to Mr. House, and either assassinate him, or get something on him to make him cooperate with the NCR. A Mojave Express Courier was the prefect cover for her. Things went all wrong when Bugsy Siegel Benny shot her in the head though, scrambling her brains, and wiping out her memories. So now she is wandering the Mojave, trying to pick up the pieces of her mind. Everyone once and a while she has flashes, especially when she is around NCR soldiers or sites.

With a character like this, I ought to be motivated to actually do the main quest.

I was originally thinking of making her a Shotgun and pistol character. But the last few days of using the Sturdy Caravan Shotgun has left me very unimpressed with shotguns. This is even with using some mods to fix the broken critical hit damage, and make the ammo more effective at penetrating armor. Today I picked up a Single Shotgun, and was amazed at how much better it was than the Caravan. When I left off Cyhiraeth had come across a wandering merchant, and bought a Lever Action Shotgun. We'll see how that works.

Likewise, the .357 revolver Cyhiraeth picked up rather early started out pretty good. But now that she is 7th level or so, it does not do much more than tickle the Giant Radscorpions and Feral Ghouls she has been running across. I have been looking through the wiki for better, but cannot find anything in the western Mojave. Except of course for Lucky. But it is locked up, and takes a Lockpick of 75 to get into. Cyhiraeth has been forced to put every point into her Guns skill to stay alive, so that hasn't happened.

She did pick up a Service Rifle from the Ranger Station in the south west corner of the map. That has been surprisingly good against lightly armored targets. The fast rate of fire, really lets it put down a lot of fire on baddies. So she might just use that some more instead. I am also looking at some of the automatic rifles now too. The All-American is off a bit to the north of her now, so she might go make a try for that.

Edit: I played a little more, and the Lever Action Shotgun has done alright so far. I also managed to get Cy's Lockpicking up high enough that when combined with the Locksmith magazine, she can get into Hard level locks. So she just got her hands on Lucky.

Great song and lyrics, thank you!

Since Lopov forced me, I rolled a new FONV toon to beat the game with, Cyhiraeth, the Irish Adventurer

Cyhiraeth has an interesting backstory, it also gives her an excuse for losing her memory regarding the Divide, that is, if she'll ever do the DLC content.

Except of course for Lucky. But it is locked up, and takes a Lockpick of 75 to get into. Cyhiraeth has been forced to put every point into her Guns skill to stay alive, so that hasn't happened.

There's a mod called NVR - Lock kicking & Lock Bombing, which allows you to bypass locks by using either force or explosives though you have to meet some skill requirements to succeed or use very powerful explosives, like C4 which are hard to find at low levels.

Now that I read the entire post, I see that she already has Lucky. Goodman, a dead gentleman, used Lucky and I loved it, not only because of stats but also because of its design.

Anyway, nice to see another girl roaming the Mojave, what is her 3rd tagged skill? (besides Guns and Lockpick, I assume)
