Small session today, didn't even have time to sell anything but we did get some loot and pwnd some n00bs so is all good

A good session today with lots of stuff collected and sold; 5303 caps added to onboard reserves. Places visited include Falls Church metro, Talon HQ, the DC run and way up NW where some Talons like to hang out.


Current location: the Citadel

Cho Zen Wan has just one cap. Well, he's got more than this, but only one cap on his person. He's in Rivet City, afterhours. Just got done taking care of that "mutant problem" down at The Mall, once again. He'll be able to earn some mad caps after the markets open.

I'm probably gonna stop being with Cho for a while. Just because his game at this point is pretty random & shiftless, and as a Level 30 character with a team of Brotherhood to travel with, most of the challenge is gone from my persepctive. And I'm wanting to try some other games on sunny days. Mass Effect 1 is top on the list. I'll still be with Janet, and will play some New Vegas too.

Meh, does anybody care? Anyway, I've no doubt got a huge backlog of Cho screenies. Should start sharing those soon.

So relatable. Most of my characters that don't have a natural story act tend to burn out like this. Just happened in Skyrim with my most recent girl, Helia. Finished up the main quest and there was no desire to continue playing.

Helia sounds like she's ready for her castle or manor or whatever. Retirement.

It's not like I'll never visit Cho again. He's hella fun to be with for sure. But ya know, there's this list of other games I want to try: Fallout 4, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, finishing New Vegas at least once, etc. Maybe Starfield, etc.

It's weird to talk like this right? Time to prioritize our gaming.

I wish it were that easy! I'm usually a one-game-at-a-time kind of guy but lately I've been splitting time the Oblivion remaster, Expedition 33, and Starfield.

Quite the session today; close to 3,5 hours!


Lotsa shots fired, lotsa loot collected and lotsa caps added; 7091 to be exact. This was an interesting one with many things happening; finding Wolfgang out in the wild being one of them. I usually don't find merchants other than at their established selling points like outside Rivet City, but now it's happened twice.


Current location: west of Fort Constantine

3.5 hours is typical for me on a day off. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Cool, another Wolfgang sighting. They happen rarely.

I am playing too. Janet Telia is in Roosevelt Academy, pwning some mutants. Later she'll head to the "northwest corner of the map", which is where the next Lopov bounty (an inbred family of baddies) is supposed to exist. She currently has four other Talon soldiers with her, as well as her Tooth, her dog. 🐶 Apparently the inbred family is a lot of enemies, so she's got an entire gang with her.

So she's going after baddies but she also work with baddies?


Also, pwning mutants at Roosevelt is fun. There's usually a bunch of Deathclaws there too to target practice at

Yes. And she often wears raider armor when traveling the CW, which aligns her with raiders automatically (due to scripts I wrote). Problem is, now that she's traveling with Talon Company, if they happen to encounter raiders, everyone on her Pip Boy looks like her friends! She can't just fire into the crowd at those moments...



Yes, we saw a couple already. Deathclaws in Fallout 3 are easy compared to New Vegas deathies, by the way. Or maybe it's the fact Janet just attained Level 20....

Anyway, Janet traveled from SatCom Navigation Tower to the area where Lopov's Goslin Family lives, but she did this alone. She left the soldiers and even her dog behind, so she could scout the place without those goons ruining everything with over-macho behavior. Which was a GOOD idea. She found the place, but also took care of ten or so mirelurks along the way. See, if she'd brought the soldiers along, chances are most (or all) of their ammo would get wasted trying to take down those 'lurks, and mostly missing. But now they won't have to waste their ammo, since Jan already paved the way.

So now she has the option of trying to take the Goslin family on her own, or she might head back to the tower (which can still be seen in the distance) and grab her soldiers + dog. We shall see.

So does Janet usually leave the Raiders alone if they aren’t hostile?

Thanks for asking. Not really alone 100%. Sometimes she parties with them (she's into chems, ahem) or spends the night, and so on. But only if she's wearing raider armor. It's a surprisingly simply script, which looks like this...

scriptname aaaFactionChangingArmorScript

Begin OnEquip Player

Player.SetFactionRank aaaFaction 1

End

Begin OnUnequip Player

Player.SetFactionRank aaaFaction -1

End

Attach that to any wearable item, and substitute "aaaFaction" with a custom-made faction which is compatible with raiders, mutants, whatever you desire.

Imagine partying it up with some Super Mutants on a Friday night

Doesn’t sound like a lot of fun honestly, lol
