Ally still looks good. Her new doo is quite becoming and, I agree, her face looks great au naturale. I see she's keeping the same heavy caliber steel bra.

Yeah, she looks great with dreads. I agree too, she don't need no makeup. A natural beauty she is.

But what mod added a makeup kit? Janet the Floozy might be interested.

This is why Khajiit thinks New Orleans and surrounding swamps with the mighty Mississippi River right through the map would be such a cool setting for a Fallout game. The city would have its unique blend of vibrancy, weirdness, and darkness, while the swamps would be ominously forbidding.

I always loved Officer Gator.

Now that is dealing with overpopulation!

Kenny!

I like Natural Ally better too. The dreads are a great new look! She is quite the bombshell...

@Acadian - thank you! So far Ally is my only character in any Beth game to have the same armor from day one to today. I doubt she's going to ever change it for something else.

@Renee - thank you! When installing the Type3 body mod, you have options to stick to default heads or install alternate heads, obviously I installed one of the alternate ones, hence the make up and eyeliner on her face.

@TheCheshireKhajiit - I remember one of the biggest complaints about PL was that it's too deserted, that there only a few non-hostile NPCs while the rest of the swamp is populated by unfriendly denizens and creatures. But that's how I like it and would never change it to be more crowded. In the Capital Wasteland I never get the same feeling of desolation as I do in Point Lookout.

@SubRosa - thank you! Ally has a Child at Heart perk which opened up a new option during their conversation. Kenny's traps, though, were not a piece of cake!

Five old pics which I think I haven't showed yet:

One from the Capital Wasteland

"Persephone would be a better company, I know."

"How high's the water, Ally?" 'five feet high and rising'

Swamplurk

Five new pics which I definitely haven't showed yet:

Stepping on toes for better aim

Visiting a friend

Back to the Duchess Gambit

Ally & Nadine

Sun shines on Ally

Khajiit agrees! Love the feelings of isolation and loneliness that Point Lookout inspires. More friendly NPC's does not always = better.

Ally (both old and new) looks great and seems like great fun to play! Sure enough, each of the two collections ends with a trademark 'Lopov' face-on shot.

Persephone would be better company, but only slightly...

That is one big swamplurk!

Now that is better aim.

Panada! One of the few people in Point Lookout that is not trying to kill you.

@Acadian - thanks! It feels good being back with Ally again.

@SubRosa - I think that swamplurks are called mirelurk hunters in the CW and they have a green tint. As a matter of fact, I'm note even sure if they are named "swamplurks" in the game or are they just called mirelurks. I'll check it the next time Ally spots one.

I gave Panada the Animal Friend perk a while ago else she'd get killed by vicious dogs that inhabit nearby streets.

Not sure if Panada, Haley and other locals are allied with swampfolk but I guess they are.

Row row row your boat!

Visiting another friend - Haley

And another - Kenny

And one more - Marguerite

Help us

Sniperista

The Duchess Gambit

Time for a short trip...

...back to the Capital Wasteland

More great shots from one of Khajiit's favorite spots in the wasteland! One question though, why'd Ally leave? Lol

Swampfolk boater had a teddy bear. How cute!

I guess there are more friendly people in Point Lookout than I realized. I think I counted 4 right there.

I never noticed that Help Us before!

Great sniper shot!

Khajiit either! Perhaps it had something to do with the "New Plague"?

Looks dark and dangerous out there! Glad that Ally's got some friends. Especially someone with a hat like Kenny!

That hat is the shiz!

@SubRosa - while Ally found the teddy bear cute, the same couldn't be said for the swampfolk's rifle.

I've never noticed "Help us" before either and probably wouldn't if I didn't rotate the camera around to take a pic. It's not visible from the distance obviously, because it doesn't show up in the Fog screenshot.

At the start of PL there are around 20 friendly NPCs (including named tribals) but as you progress and do or not do some quests, only 5 or 6 remain alive, well slightly more if you keep friendly relations with the tribals.

@TheCheshireKhajiit - Ally & Nadine never stay in the Capital Wasteland for a long time. I roleplay that as they travel back, they trade some goodies from Point Lookout with the local mod-added merchant (shown below). Ally also clears up some nearby places of raiders and other pests.

@Acadian - Ally occasionally plays Hide & Seek or Tag with Kenny but because her Sneak skill is very high, in the end she has to give up else Kenny never finds her. Of course the boy thinks that it was him who found her and what's better than to make a child smile.

When Ally throws a grenade...

To who belongs the shadow?

Some explaining for those not familiar with FO3. On Ally's right you see a shadow of the person wearing a hat. Well, that's the mysterious stranger - if you take the corresponding perk, the helpful stranger in a raincoat and a fedora on his head occasionally appears and helps you against your enemies. Sometimes it happens that your PC can kill the enemy before the MS shows up which is what happened in that case but the game doesn't recognize that fast enough and he spawns nonetheless, or at least his shadow does. Another possible theory is that he got stuck behind some wall, that's why we only see his shadow.

Anyway, that's how he looks like unshadowed, Ally managed to capture his face a while ago.

Jimmy has a cool civil war hat

An arrow to the knee? I guess he's going to become a Rivet City guard now.

Or maybe not...

That halfbot still has a missle in it.

Love the smile pic!

That shadow is really cool. Is that from the Mysterious Stranger?

The Mysterious Stranger is Obama!

I'm with SubRosa - that is indeed a neat hat on Jimmy. Hey, did Ally go back to green for her hair? I remember her flat top was green but I sort of thought her dreads were black? Love the shot of Ally settled in behind that big gun with an ominous smile on her face!

Youch! She's killing Janet's friends! Yikes! Janet spends some time down in that location, in fact she's been on the Riverboat and everything! She's never gone to Lookout obviously though

You and I are friends Lopov, but our two t00ns would be mortal enemies!

That's pretty wicked about the Mysterious Stranger guy. Wow.

@SubRosa - Obama! The civil war hat is my addition, by default Jimmy Morgan wears a roving trader hat but it felt better to wear something original from Point Lookout.

@Acadian - her hair was always green but the flattop was much more bright than dreds which are dark green. Some hairstyles appear darker than other ones without changing color.

@Renee - yep, chances are that Ally and Janet wouldn't be friends if they met in some Talon camp but if they met somewhere where Janet would be undercover and Ally just passing through, they might swap some stories over a few beers.

Meet Barney, the new guard of Duchess Gambit

The best thing about Barney is that he's always awake so girls can get some sleep

Back to Point Lookout

And back to work

Jumping jacks

Yes, a guard that needs no sleep is handy indeed! Your game looks great - and so does Ally. Nice shot of Ally showing off her nice bu- err, doing jumping jacks.

At first I thought Barney might be a recently unemployed security guard from Black Mesa.

Ally does an ugly job with grace.

The Gambit looks like the most inviting place in Point Lookout.

@Acadian - I figured that girls need someone to watch over them as they sleep. Though Nadine never sleeps in the base game and making her to sleep is complicated because she is the same NPC in two different cells, I roleplay that she sleeps as well. I actually tried to mod her to sleep but failed, then I read on the Nexus that it's do-able but very complicated so for now I'm okay with imagining that she sleeps too.



You mean jumping jacks? I agree!

The place where Ally is jumping, is a modded engine room of the Duchess Gambit, I changed it into a bedroom and storage. The place is quest-related but since the MQ is long over in Ally's game, it was safe to mod.

View 1 (the cot with brown rags is Ally's)

View 2 (the cot with red sleepwear is Nadine's)

Usual morning in Point Lookout

Against the Punga scorpion

In the Cave of Punga

"I'm Ally. And you?"

Time to sleep

Your new stateroom looks a lot better than the vanilla engine room on the Duchess.

Looks like Ally was a little crabby that morning...

Ally continues to be a bombshell. Well, two bombshells to be exact...

Love the morning shot of Ally at Point Lookout. And at the end of the day, she heads her shapely little self off to bed.

@SubRosa - hard not to be crabby in such company.

@Acadian - Ally must work hard in mornings so she can sleep safely at nights.

"Uh oh!"

"Ho ho!"

"Done and done."

Ally gave up smoking (she tossed remaining cigarettes in the garbage bin on her right)

Sunset on the pier

Girls

Man, Khajiit loves Point Lookout. Ally's pics really make this one want to get Fallout3 GotYE.

Uh oh, that is one big scorpie!

Good on Ally for detoxing.

Ha! See, I thought it was King Mudcrab! But yeah, that sure is one hell of a radscorp.

Why did she give up smoking? That second-to-last pic is really pretty.

Woah, that is a big scorpion! Ally took care of it though.

Good that she gave up smoking – don’t want her complexion to get like Officer Barlow’s.

In ‘Girls’, the girl in front is certainly wearing an alluring top and smile.

Hellllloooo Nadine!
Boy Mr. Sam Baron would be in hog heaven being around those two! Shhh. Just don't tell Brigitte!

@TheCheshireKhajiit - Ally & Nadine are waiting for Sam Baron to join them.

@SubRosa - that's a mod-added Punga RadScorpion Queen from the mod In the shadow of the swamp. She wasn't that tough at she seemed to be at first.

@Renee - Ally realized that smoking's going to kill her sooner than swampfolk so she decided to drop the habit.

@Acadian - the girl in front is Nadine, Ally's girlfriend. I gave her a Brief Tribal Garb outfit (mod-added) and changed her hairstyle. I'm glad you like her.

Ally decided not join the nuns

Beyond the border

Swamp

New outfit

From the side

From the other side

From the back

Awesome gloomy shots of the swampland there, Lopov. You're making me want to explore this place, like really badly.

And she looks so adorable in her new outfit. She kinda reminds me of Michonne from Walking Dead, although Ally looks happier.

No nunnery for Ally? Maybe she will return to The Duchess Gambit to worship in private with Nadine?

The swamp looks really dismal.

Her new outfit looks good, and much more flexible.

She definitely looks good walking away!

Whenever Khajiit looks at Ally's pics, he hears one of his favorite old songs playing in his mind! Awesome!

Swamp is a neat, haunting pic!

New outfit looks good on Ally! Looks like she won't hurt people that she runs headlong into now without those steel cups leading the way.

@Renee - the swamp perspective shot was taken with you in mind.

@SubRosa - who knows what kind of worshiping takes place on the Duchess when nobody's watching!

@TheCheshireKhajiit - nice that Ally reminds you of a good song.

@Acadian - good point about steel cups. On the other hand, her precious pair is more vulnerable now.

I've already been playing New Vegas for some time so today's screenies are the last of Ally "Gator" for this year.

Ally is about to "depart" on an underwater mission so clothes are not necessary

Geronimo!

Swimming to...

...the sunken submarine

Activating the exploding mechanism

Finishing touches

KA-BOOM!

Back on board

Mission completed

When one looks as nice as Ally does, who needs clothes? As long as she's got her PipGirl and utility belt.

Watch out for sharks Ally!

That one's a lot smaller than the Yangtze (in Fallout 4).

Ally finishes the job the US Navy never quite managed to do - she sinks the commie sub!

Has Ally gone swimming off the eastern shore? Every bouy has something on the ocean floor underneath it.

Okay, I just had to slap myself from staring at those long, luscious bronze legs of hers. dangerous mission, dangerous mission, Renee!

What's supposed to be happening in this sequence? It'd be a spoiler for me, but this is okay. It'll probably be while until I get to Point Lookout, if that's where she is.

During a quest/mission you are tasked with blowing up a sunken Chinese spy submarine by activating its self destruct sequence, which is what Ally is doing inside the sub.

@Acadian - fortunately for Ally, there aren't many people in PL so she can wear or not wear clothes as she wants. Barney the protectron is indifferent to it.

@SubRosa - she swam to some nearby buoys and indeed there's lots of stuff down under, she still hasn't found the dinosaur's remains but she didn't swim to all of them.

@Renee - it's what the Khajiit says. Oh and I thought you were looking at her hair.

After some initial test-playing of New Vegas, here's my first character for this season - a melee/unarmed fighter named Lee Cyeng.

Lee Cyeng lives!

Goodsprings

First steps

His face is affected by the TFH Bullet Scar (Frikys Killer Scar) that adds several facial scars and a bullet scar above the left brow.

His nose is broken but it might be difficult to spot. In the GECK I used the Asymmetry function to shift the nose bridge to the right (from the perspective up front).

His starting armor is from the Black Mountain Thug Armor.

Goodsprings has some cacti and trees, added by the Wasteland Flora Overhaul (dead edition).

Lee looks like a tough hombre! Like a Triad gangster or something.

Lee looks like he's seen some miles. Benny really did a number on him!

He does look like a Traid assassin!

Welcome to Lee! He has a neat exotic look. Asian perhaps.

@TheCheshireKhajiit - he turned out good, I think. He was supposed to look tough.

@SubRosa - the scars were from before his meeting with Benny but the scar above the left brow is definitely Benny's signature.

@Acadian - he's Asian indeed.

Lee Cyeng is firmly back on his feet, ready for some action...

Lee dealing with those geckos is a harbinger of things to come for Benny! Nice pics!

Back from the grave, and ready for action.

Just not action involving guns.

The Iron Fist strikes! And he saved money on his car insurance...

Cutting them down to size

I always save before that farmer, so I can reload and try again if she gets killed.

Wow, that is one big gecko family!

Great shots out there in the desert. Hey, where's the Lopov ™ head-on shot of Lee to end your collection?

@TheCheshireKhajiit - Benny will surely regret that he didn't aim better.

@SubRosa - the Goodsprings farmer can die quickly if you're not fast enough or if all geckos attack her instead of you or Sunny. If I'm correct, the farmer and geckos around her spawn only when you kill the last gecko from the well above so this time instead of running around, Lee Cyeng jumped from the ridge above. I use the Helpless falling mod which no longer makes you always land on your feet when jumping from heights, so he rolled a little before standing up. Nonetheless, he killed the geckos before Sunny and Cheyenne even arrived and the farmer wasn't badly hurt.

@Acadian - there will be plenty of Lopov shots in the days ahead, thanks for asking.

_____

It's not in Lee Cyeng's habit that he'd help people in need but he felt like he owes Goodsprings residents for saving his life, so he helped them against invading gang of Powder Gangers...
