Renee: Bethesda games are always comedy gold! Too bad that is not their intention...


TheCheshireKhajiit: I always have trouble with walls. The tops of them never match up evenly on broken ground, and I have trouble getting them to snap into place around angles and turns.


Acadian: The Robbies are one of the best-looking vanilla creatures in the game. They really expanded on them in F4.


Resolve

Down the sights

Lost his head over Hecate

Armed and Fabulous

Fun for the whole family

Lol, Khajiit would've titled the "Resolve" pic: "The Wrong Side of the Tracks"! Nice pics!

Great – and sobering – pics of Hecate and her gun.

Woot! A blonde bobblebewb and her bobblegun!

Blast Radius = Fun for the whole family.

I know, WTF?>???

TheCheshireKhajiit: Wrong side of the tracks? Brilliant!


Acadian: I thought you would appreciate the lethally blonde bobblehead! All she needs is pointed ears and a bow...


Renee: The pre-war Fallout world was really F'ed up!


Under the helmet

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water

A walk down the Charles

Iron Maidens

Ghost in the machine

Hecate keeps a combat rifle for close encounters

Close up

Is that an Assaultron with Hecate in "Iron Maidens"?

Under the helmet - Don't you just hate helmet hair. . . oh, wait. . . .

Heavy metal!

Close up is gorgeous (as ever).

Love the Assaultron helmet, and the Assaultron. Quite the squad you have there!

Hecate gets bald when wearing helmet.

That looks like a swimming mirelurk in power armor.

Can vehicles like that red pick up be blown up?

Hecate is pretty as a picture.

Yes. In Khajiit's experience with the game though, the red pickup is way tougher than the myriad cars lying around. Built Ford tough, Khajiit supposes. Lol

TheCheshireKhajiit; Technically it is the helmet from the Sirius Armor mod. But it was clearly based/copied from the Assaultron helmet. I love how that helmet looks, and how it opens up when you are not in combat.


Acadian: One of the great things about the Sirius helmet is that its patented design prevents helmet hair, by removing your hair!


hazmick: The assaultrons are definitely my favorite Fallout robots now.


Lopov: You can actually drown in power armor in F4. You cannot swim in it, so you just drop to the bottom and walk there. Hecate is wearing her Sirius Helmet because I added water breathing to it.

I am not sure if I have ever blown up a red truck. The vehicles seem to be less prone to exploding that in the previous games. There are some that never seem to blow up at all. I have not figured out exactly which ones do and which do not though.


Deathclaw sends a Raider into orbit

Hide and seek

Tag! You're it!

It's Mother's Day for Deathclaws too

Lost his head

It boggles this one's mind sometimes about how in the world you get some of these awesome shots! Like that first one with the Raider being launched. That's incredible! Also, what kind of enemy was that in the "Lost his Head" pic? Guess he didn't remember what the Door Mouse said...

There you go. That's a mother's day card I'd never forget!

Wow, Mama Deathclaw has quite some kick to her! Looks like Hecate's big gurl gun has more though.

TheCheshireKhajiit: It is not that hard to get action pics. All you have to do is hit the ~ key when something interesting is happening. That brings up the console and stops the action in the game. Then you can use the TFC 1 command to give yourself a free camera with the time stopped. That gives you all the time in the world to move the camera around to get the pic you want. Or you can use the TM command to remove the menus, and close the console and just watch what happens. I often do the latter during VATS.

Lost his head was a Synth from the Fishpacking plant up in the north east corner of the map. He is one of the pack that shows up to stop you when you try to leave.


Renee: Deathclaws make every holiday memorable!


Acadian: Hecate actually found an even bigger big gurl gun. It is a railgun, and does three times the damage of her regular sniper rifle. I am saving it for using with power armor, as it is really big and bulky.


One shot...

...one kill

Sailor bear

Mutant with a nuke

Put some ferals on the barbie

One shot really showcases Hecate's adorable wasp-waist.

More great shots - you game looks great.

Mutant with a nuke is a fabulous close up of Hecate in action.

Love that super mutant shot - he ain't getting up!

Nothing like the smell of burning ferals in the morning. Good work Hecate.

I have to say, I love how sleek and high-tech Hecate looks. The rifle and armour are perfect together.

This is one of my fave SubRosa shots of all time, right here. I love the silhouette. Wow. I just spelled silhouette right the first time. Cool, this means I get to have some cake.

Do you ever RP your characters meeting up, SR? Or is it all just pretty random as you're gaming?

More than in the raider, I'm interested in the "tower" on the right, it looks interesting and for some reason reminds me of Cyrodiil. What is it, if it even serves any purpose?



Is that a silencer on the raider's gun or is that not a silencer at all but a part of the structure behind the raider?

It's a lookout tower. You can climb to the top of it and push a siren button that alerts some nearby Raiders. Then a Deathclaw (or two?) show up and attack everybody.

Set out with a new character last night - Copper

Only a couple of hours in so she's only just got her home at Red Rocket set up. After playing a couple of hundred hours with Alice, a new character is quite refreshing.

Wow, look at her! I like that name, Copper. It just sounds like a Fallout name, for some reason.

She's looking quite punk rock/grunge! Like her a lot!

Nice, hazmick! Looking at her hair I think I see the inspiration for her name.

Her name (and hair) puts this song in my head.

She is looking appropriately Irish with her green pipboy and baldric. She just needs a clan tartan!

And wow, a stone wall that is actually even along the top, and grass in Red Rocket! How did you manage that?

Glad everyone likes Copper! I'm still learning about her, but so far I know that she likes tinkering/building and dislikes talking to people more than is necessary.

SubRosa - the wall is the concrete wall from the concrete tab of the building menu (not sure if you need a specific DLC for that, I can't remember) which works really well since the sections click into place and can clip through the floor. The grass is from a mod called 'Green in the Commonwealth' which adds lots of grass, flowers, leaves etc. I'm thinking of looking for a new overhaul mod though because this one can be a little laggy.

When Khajiit thinks copper in Fallout4, electrical wires come to mind. Perhaps she would fancy hacking, robotics, and Science!? What is her SPECIAL?

Learned more about Copper today - she likes dogs, protectrons, and mole rats. She dislikes ghouls and insects.

Undivided attention

Friendship

Not friendship

Not sure what's so "Super Duper" about this mart

Copper also loves Nuka Girl

The Good

The Bad

The...Gary?


I had a sort of scavenger character in mind when I was thinking about making her, so yep definitely some robots. Her special started at 3,4,3,3,8,3,4 but she's since gone up 2 points in charisma.

Nice pics Haz! Love the creative things Beth did with the teddy bears in this game! Also, Khajiit sees that he is not the only one who likes the white setting on the HUD.

Yep, white HUD is best HUD. All the other colours give me a headache.

Relaxing at home

Vantage point

Ghouls in the mist

First visit to the big city

Hazmick, I always enjoy your screenshots. Hard to pin down exactly why but whatever it is, it translates from ESO to FO quite nicely. Glad you're enjoying Copper!

Oops, I forgot to reply before. Copper is still fantastic! She has my attention.

But she wasn't wearing a hard hat around the construction bot. Did it attack her? Or did she program it with a different personality before activating it?

Love all the teddy pics. Beth really outdoes themselves when they think of things to do with them.

Great view from the top of Corvega. I love going up there. Especially with snipers.

Ghoulrillas in the Mist!

Copper looks like somebody I used to know when I was younger in the first pic. Seriously, even the way she's dressed,

I really love the slight blur of mist in the ghouls picture.

Acadian: TBH, I think the Sirius Armor she wears makes Hecate's waist look too thin, like she's a heroin junkie.


hazmick: Hecate missed the mutant's vital spots. She hit it in the head!

I have always liked the sleek, high tech armor look. Like the suits in Mass Effect.


Renee: Silhouette is one of the hardest words to spell! Look, I got it right the first time too!

I never do RP my characters meeting up. I imagine that Hecate and Annie would get along. Hecate is more idealistic, and would sooner talk than shoot. Annie is a lot more cynical, being a former assassin and all. But all cynics started out as idealists. Othwerwise they wouldn't be cynical. Hecate would give Annie a sense of hope. Annie would keep Hecate grounded in reality. They would make a good team in fact. Hecate is the long range, one-shot, one-kill sniper. Annie is the up-close infantry type with an assault rifle. Together the could cover any situation.

Elektra is pretty much a loner, being a stealth ninja. Persephone is that taken to 11. She doesn't befriend anyone until they are dead (it's too bad you can summon undead in the Fallout games, she's not the same without the Darryl's around to back her up). Finally Loviatar would want to eat all the other characters of course...


Lopov: That stone tower does look a lot like the Syrim towers. I guess that is to be expected, being Bethesda and all. I am not sure what it was supposed to have been before the war. But it is a cool place after the war.


TheCheshireKhajiit: My first time to Lynn Woods I sneaked into the Raider camp and climbed that tower, thinking it would make a great sniper position. I saw that button and knew pushing it would be a very bad idea. So of course I pushed it! I expected the Raiders to come running. But I was laughing when I saw the Deathclaws show up too! It is almost as much fun as watching Giants smash Bandits to the moon in Skyrim.




Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water

One if by land, two if by sea

Spot the sniper...

...Before she spots you.

'Just when you thought it was safe...' engenders somewhat of a familiar eerie feeling. I'm sure I've seen some of your other characters rise from the depths just as ominously.

Oooh! I found the sniper! Good perch and nice shot she took!

Hecate is emerging like the creature from the black lagoon except that Hecate is much, much prettier.

Nice little lantern in front of Hecate in the 2nd pic.

She's hard to spot in the third pic.

Such masks can only be worn by psychos.

Yes, I can see Hecate and Annie working in tandem. At least they won't get eaten by Loviatar if they stick together. Elektra won't have to worry though; she's surrounded by her camera crew.

I can't see your sniper in that second pic at all. I only see a faint shadow. Wow, look at the detail in those bricks though. And the way the sunlight strikes those brick houses in the distance!

I know nothing about guns. The one she's got in that first pic looks like something from WWII.

SubRosa - I always make sure to set Protectrons to the law enforcement personality. Doesn't seem to require any sort of identification to get them on your side.

Love those Hecate shots (camera shots and rifle shots).




Some Copper:
Heading out

Spooky

Spookier

Problem solved

"Ah, hello. This wouldn't happen to be the super secret underground Railroad hideout, would it?"

Looks like Copper has been to Nuka World, and all she has to show for it is a lousy T-Shirt!

Oooh, she's under the Old North Church. Is Copper going to join the Railroad?

She took a load off that Feral's mind!

All aboard the Railroad!

This one is Khajiit's fav!

Acadian: It is always fun to rise from the depths. Some of the worlds coolest monsters started out doing that!

I knew Buffy would approve if Hecate's firing position in the last two pics.


Lopov: Hecate is the creature from the irradiated lagoon.

The lanterns are in the steeple of the Old North Church, from Paul Revere's Ride.

Sometimes I have trouble telling who the Raiders are in F4. But not when they are wearing those Tusken Raider masks!


Renee: Loviatar might eat Elektra's film crew!

Hecate's rifle is the Mk14 Enhanced Battle Rifle, a fully modern weapon. You can see the picatinny rail system on the barrel.


hazmick: I always carry around a mining helmet for those construction bots. I never thought to just change the personality on them!


Hecate and the sea monster

Hecate and the nuclear reactor

View to a kill

Can you hear me now?

No signal

So strange seeing Hecate's version of the wasteland, without the greenery mod that I use. So different!

Aah, the Yangtze. Say hi to Zao for me!

hazmick: What greenery mod do you use? I kind of like the vanilla wasteland. But I will probably want to try a greener one at some point.

The Yangtze is cool. I love how the propellers are not in the back, but the front.

Getting ripped

Wetcate

Is there a bug in his ear?

Frowny

The best there is at what she does

And what she does is not pretty

Hecate looks hot even when she's frowning!

Hazmick: I don't know if you saw my comment on the previous page, but wow, Copper really looks like somebody I used to know. I should find a pic of her, if I can.

Renee: When I created Hecate's face I was using Megan Fox for inspiration. But Gal Gadot has a similar look too. Given that she has actual talent, I think Gal would play Hecate in the Fallout movie...


The Silver Shroud brings justice to Goodneighbor!

Hancock is disappointed that he is no longer the only costumed freak in Boston

Sinjin's head faces .308 justice

The rest of his crew follows

Three shots, three kills

Yeah I often do that too, I will use a celebrity face to "aim" toward as I'm rolling some n3w t00ns. I can remember for instance with Lady Saga I initially tried to use Lady Gaga's face, but her looks are too bizarre for vanilla Oblivion, so I wound up using Taylor Swift instead. On the other hand, with some characters I don't want them to be so obviously good-looking. With Dyan phor a'Cauz for instance, I was thinking "I want to make her look like a female EMT, or a female cop." Somebody who's there to help and do her best, not necessarily there to charm. Sorta plain-looking, rugged face, is what she had. No makeup for a lot of these gals here in Earth, and I was able to do all of this with Oblivion's vanilla tools because it's got eyeliner, cheek blush, lip colors (etc.) in its character creation, sort of.

Anyway, Hecate does both. She's there to help and do her best, yet she's also good-looking, but in sort of a colder, hardened way. Like, look at her in that first picture. She's rocking some detective clothes, yet the camera loves her.

That ghoul in the second pic does look sort of perturbed! And nice gun battle too, in the other pics.

More wonderful shots of Hecate! She is way up there with Persephone as an easy to like fave character and you show her off to good advantage. The best at what she does and what she does isn't pretty!

Renee: The black and silver trenchcoat and hat are part of the Silver Shroud costume. The Shroud is a superhero that you can become, from a pre-war radio drama.


Acadian: Well, Hecate has no qualms about showing off!


Heavy Metal

Taking aim with her Railgun

Railed

Splekt!

Down

Wow, if it wasn't for her big gurl gun, I'd never know that was Hecate under all that heavy metal! And another baddie loses his head over Hecate.

Acadian: I thought about taking the helmet off for the pic. But it was raining, and Hecate did not want to get her hair wet...
