Love this one! Just like an opening scene to an AlChestBreach montage video

Persephone is on the lookout for the Red Menace

Trying out a pair of lucky shades

Raiders vs Super-Mutants

But it was Persephone who won

Seeing the sights in D.C.

Come back here!

A close one

Reverse angle

But there was only one way it could end

Ubran renewal

Teaming up with another Robbie

Is that a pump-action shotgun?

It looks like one, but it is a semi-automatic

I wish we were able to get rifles with pistol grip here

Lopov – Nice glimpse into Joe’s ‘home’ life before he sets out for another day of ‘venturing in the badlands. Aww, teddybear. Finally upgraded his shovel! It looks like that new club can do some serious damage!

SubRosa - Persephone looks great – naturally her weapon, hair, armor and accessories all complement each other. Seeing the sights – I recognize the Tennleytown Metro stop. That giant dude she fought looks like he’s toting the next weapon for Lopov’s Big Joe! I love the ‘attitude’ look on Persephone’s face after winning that fight. And yay, another Robbie the Robot!

SPEW!!! Joe messing with the ghoul on the intercom!!!

That shot with all those ghouls running toward him freaked me completely = GHAAAAAAAH!!!!!

That quest/"dungeon crawl" was one of my favorite; but on the XBox 360 it caused a fatal glitch in the game that wiped out all your saves except the first Goodsprings one. After my first lost game I was afraid to do it again.

That rebar looks wicked, it is almost as big as Joe, lol.


I thought the "washing up" was really great; I would not have thought of using that (drinking animation?) - smart !!!

OMG, Persephone took on a Behemoth with only a sword? Holy Cow!!!!!!! I am floored by this battle !!!!

That Raider vs super mutant spot has got me killed in the crossfire more than once, lol.

The Lucky Shades! Woo Hoo !!! They are a "must have" for me in every FO3 playthrough!

Urban Renewal looks like the rear exit from 3 Dog's place! (?)

Those poor robots never last long for me, probably because I send them out alone into the fray while I loot the office I guess if I stayed with them like Persephone is doing it would be nicer, and they might even survive the battle ... ... (sorry Robbie...)

All great shots!!! I especially had to love the ones where Persephone is taking on a Behemoth with just a sword, that is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, I really like this shot too. The teddy bear is originally placed at the end of the bed but Joe put it on a pillow next to him.

The Red Menace billboards are my favorite in the Capital Wasteland.

Is that Persephone under the effect of a stealth boy in the "Persephone won" pic?

Great shots of battle with the behemoth, I almost didn't find its head in the first pic, it really blends with the body.

Love the shot of Persephone posing with the behemoth face in the ground behind her.

It sure can, it's one of the most powerful melee weapons in the game and one of the most durable as well. Glad you like the teddy bear too.

Sounds like a serious glitch regarding the quest Come fly with me. Though it's often criticized as being one of the worst quests in FNV, it remains as one of my favorites and almost every character does it.

Joe Burg helped Bright's ghouls depart on the Great Journey to the Far Beyond. He doesn't know where is this Far Beyond nor how do they managed to travel in pre-war rockets but as long as ghouls are happy, so is he. He hopes they'll find peace and won't be harassed by humans anymore.

If your Intelligence and Science are high enough, you can use the navigation console to help directing rockets for the Great Journey but if you're not really smart, you can mash on the keys. And feel good after doing it.

The Great Journey about to begin

The Great Journey began

Joe leaves Novac

HELIOS ONE (in the dark)

"Titties!"

"You won't take my prickly pear fruit!"

Lopov - Glad Joe’s rocket science experiment worked out okay. ‘Joe leaves Novac’ is a beautiful shot, so crisp, sharp in the details and Joe looks great! Love the road signs! And Big Joe’s Big Club in action.

Persephone was using a Stealth Boy in the Raider vs Super Mutants pic and the following Persephone Won pic. She Stealthed up, then sneaked down to the walkway by the water. That triggers the mutants to appear across the river. I was surprised that the Raiders won the gunfight. Usually a Mutant spawns with a minigun, and he just cleans house. But he either never spawned, or a Raider got lucky with a headshot and his body fell in the river. Because I only found one Mutant with a rifle afterward.

Love the Mashing Keys pics! Obviously Joe is not one of the brightest fission batteries in the pack... But his heart, and his big right hand, is in the right place.

I really liked the Come Fly With Me quest. I thought it was one of the best in the game. I loved seeing the rockets blasting off at the end. The Space Suit is handy for the radioactive areas too. Annie Ley Oak used to use it a lot, especially for exploring Camp Searchlight.

And Joe is squishing bugs! He has a much better flyswatter now...

The mashing computer keys had me rolling laughing! I love that quest, seeing the rocket take off was one of those awesome game moments - and I've only gotten to see it once so far, but I have the PC game now and from what I've heard all the glitches were patched out of it; so hope to see it again now!

Helios One is another of my absolute favorite quests, but I usually pick up all the broken satellite dish parts and bring them to the Boomers.

Joe looks really good in that red shirt - Holy Cow, he is fighting a cazador with that rebar? I have to look up the stats on that, that is Awesome !!!!

All great shots, I love seeing Joe in New Vegas !!!

Girl on the Moon

Minigun duel

Standing tall

Persephone knows better than most that war, war never changes...

Nuka Bots meet grenade

Nuka break

Face off with a Nukalurk

Teaming up with another Robbie

Girl on the Moon – What a great idea and how clever of you to capture that! One small step for a dead girl, one giant leap for mankind.

War never changes – everyone Persephone loves is no longer alive.

Robbie’s no Darryl, but he’ll do in a pinch!

Mashing on the keys! Fantastic! NV really is clever when it adds little details like that to the game. Credit where credit is due, Obsidian did a great amount in a short amount of time.

Persephone and the Nukalurks. Awesome fun!

My character Ben died there on 10th October 77. Damn those hardcore survival rules.

7th out of 22 confirmed deaths.

Sweet pixies, SubRosa!


Loved the Nuka place! It was a fun place to raid but after the Nuka lurks and all I unfortunately forgot to take the stuff inside the safe so I missed out on the Sudden Death gang

Aww, she looks genuinely sad in the graveyard pic.

Standing Tall almost looked real to me for a spilt second. Like a slightly-blurry snapshot.

Ha ha ha bots being blown to pieces!


Lopov: whoa you can mash some keys if you're not smart enough to just type into them? Whoa that makes it worth the experience of being dumb, in a way!

So the first woman to walk the Moon was Persephoon.

Looks like that she's about to win the Minigun duel, one mutie already went down.

The shot of the graveyard is my favorite this time.

Great shots of the Nuka Battle.

Let's stay in the Capital Wasteland, specifically above it:

Uh oh!

Not a bad dream

The plan was to trick aliens into believing that Somah and Marl were about to kill each other.

It worked and aliens came rushing it, that's when Somah and Marl jumped on them...

...though Somah was unfortunately killed by aliens, Marl managed to save himself.

More of them came rushing to the holding cells but they didn't last long.

Not long after Marl met Sally, a girl from before the war as well. He didn't feel comfortable that he was wearing nothing but his underwear.

And when Sally told him that "bombs already dropped" and that it's year 2277, Marl couldn't stay on his legs anymore.

After gaining his senses, he and Sally went on, and surprisingly he found his pre-war stuff in one of the containers.

US Army Mechanic

Welcome to the MarlBoro Man! That has to be a rude awakening to find yourself post-holocaust far in the future. Sounds like it will be a neat/fun playthrough!

Oh no, what happened to his clothes?

CHEM cigarettes. Is that your smoking mod?

I hope the Marlboro Man found a phaser in there somewhere, or a lightsaber! Though I do notice an Enclave Helmet in the background...

Yeah, I'm curious to see his reaction once he steps on the Earth again.

Clothes are taken away when you're abducted by aliens, you can find them in a nearby container, though.

Cigarettes are part of Light Up and Smoke Those Cigarettes mod.

Fortunately an Alien Atomizer comes close.

You've got a bunch of my favorite quests here: Getting the satellite dish for 3 dog; getting the Bobblehead at Arlington Cemetary; and the Nuka Cola company.

I love the meat from those Nikalurks! I really wish there were more of them in game, their meat is awesome!

The shot of Persephone standing over the grave at Arlington has to be my absolute favorite; what a spectacular shot! She really looks sad in that, how on earth did you get that expression! That is Awesome!!!

My second favorite is the nukablast of the robot, lol. I have never seen a nuka grenade in action, always saved them for a bigger fight or something - that is Awesome!!

Great update !!!

OMG, Somah died? I thought she was essential! Oh crap, I'll have to play that out more carefully from now on - I need her badly for equipment repairs and in the final battle she runs all four generators! Urk, I never knew she could die ... I guess I've just been lucky all these times that she survived.

I see poor Marl got the alien butt probe, Misa sympathizes with him, they go her too. (and took her clothes as well).

The screen where his legs bucle is stunning, how did you make that pose?

All awesome shots!


EDIT: I just noticed something! Where did you get that Army mechanic outfit? I've never seen it before!!!

Only Sally is essential because she's a child, everyone else can die though it happened to me for the first time that Somah died so early. I usually lose Paulson along the way when overwhelmed by aliens, however this time everyone except Somah survived until the end.

Here's the vanilla idle pose catalog, I think that SubRosa told me about it some time ago. Before playing any animation, SAVE your game because some are caught in a loop and never end, so they're good for taking screenies but then you have to reload. To start the animation, press "tfc", move camera to any position you wish, click on your PC and type "playidle [ID of animation]" - IDs are written in every pic. For instance, to play this particular animation with Marl falling on his knees, I typed playidle LooseDLC05DisturbedReactionC but I didn't need to reload afterwards because the animation terminated by itself.

Lastly, the mechanic outfit appears in the Anchorage DLC but can't be obtained by normal means, you can only get it with the console commands.

Your pics aren't working, but maybe it's because I'm on my work ocmputer today. I'll check 'em when I get home later.

They work for me but they need more time to load.

Okay yup, they work for me now. Just take an extra second or five. Are you able to use the tfc1 command with these? Or something like it?

Heh heh, that first ones (vs. Aliens) rock, Lopov. Those are some serious-looking guns they're carrying in Exploring with Paulson.

Marl kneeling makes me think that the ruined Statue of America is in front of him and he is screaming: "You blew it up!"

I hope Sally has a broom and dustpan, because Marl is leaving a real mess behind him!



Persephone and the Burnmaster

Hanging out with Abe

Into the light

What's this about the Declaration of Independence?

Swinging for the fences

It ain't over until the Fat Man sings

Lopov - MarlBoro Man looks like he’s having fun turning aliens into alien salad! Stand by me is a pretty picture. So. . . how many head of cattle is that? Wow, in ‘Kick in the head’, it looks like tons of stuff for our Army Mechanic to repair.

Subrosa - Yikes! I see why that Burnmaster got its name! Aww, she looks sad hanging out with Abe. Into the light is eerily beautiful. Robbie in a wig! He should keep it! Nice to see Persephone can still swing a blade in between using the heavy weaponry.

Persephone and the Burnmaster made me think of Torcher - a raider that lives up to his name because he can deal a lot of damage with his flamer and carries an eponymous mask. I hope that Persephone will cross his path one day and show him that there was still a lot to learn.

So what did Headless Abe have to say?

I laugh each time I see a wig on that robot's head. I wonder how would Persephone look with it.

The glowing one looks like a dedicated goalkeeper.

Come on, Persephone, isn't the world already ruined enough?

Good idea, she might become his official cleaning lady.

That's the waste disposal area of the spaceship. Imagine the smell.

There are some great weapons found on the spaceship, not just by design but also by damage dealt.

Oh thank you so much for the info! SubRosa told me about that mod too, and I DL'd it - I guess I forgot about it!!!

These shots are great - I love MZ, especially now that I've finally learned how to beat the final battle!

I know that last shot is where I used to find the Samurai's sword; but the last two times I played MZ (both this year) - I have not been able to find that garbage area anymore; had to console myself the sword. I guess I just can't remember where it is anymore.

Favorite shot = Exploring with Paulson; what an Awesome shot!

To find the Samurai's Sword, you have to first teleport to the Maintenance Area, reachable from the Engineering Core, the main area of the spaceship. Then you have to talk to Sally while she's repairing the elevator until she screws something up and the elevator begins rapidly going down until you eventually fall from it and land among garbage. However, the sword can be found at the very end of the area, in a small room with several first aid boxes.

The final battle was different for me this time because Somah died at the beginning and she wasn't able to keep the generators running so they went offline and Marl had to switch them back on manually.

*


That Burnmaster is the only Flamer I like to use, boy does it look wicked in that screen!



Hanging out with Abe is a great sit pose, I love that one!


This next shot looks like she is about to be beamed up (Scotty)!


Buttons! This is one of my favorite dungeon crawls! I like telling him that I am Thomas Jefferson, lol.


Oh, is Persephone going for the Fatman here? Great shot!


Yep! She sure was !!!!


Awesome shots!



*

I'm going to have to go through MZ again and find it - have not played it yet in this game I'm in right now, so I'll keep Sally working on the elevator in my mind, lol. Thank you so much Lopov!

More screenies from the space:

"What's that?"

"No idea but it kills aliens just fine."

Space Walk

"I've been here before..."

Abominations attack (and die)

Marl meets the Alien Captain

And kills him. Or her. Or it.

Galactic battle

Victory!

To go or not to go?

Ahh, the old MZ. Thanks for bringing up the memories about that one. I have only played through it once and I really did enjoy it. I guess the corridors just reminded me of Halo or Doom or Prey or something. However much I did like it though, I was left with the once done and never to be repeated feeling.

Loved the Victory pic. Kaa-Boooom!

Zeta is a mixed bag for me, I like the beginning and the part where you unfreeze other people on the ship and destroy generators either alone or with their help. Up to this point they did a good job with the DLC, since every character has unique comments if you let them accompany you.

I don't like what follows, though, actually I find it really boring. After Space Walk you just get teleported from one area to another until you eventually reach the Bridge and kill the Alien Captain. I like the galactic battle with the other spaceship, it's much more climatic than the battle with the Captain which goes down very easy.

I feel that I've had enough of Zeta for a few years now that I've done it for the 3rd time.

Fantastic shots of Marl's game, Lopov!

- - This one is not only hilariously captioned but a spectacular shot.

I thought the space Abominations were a little disappointing after fighting real Abominations like Deathclaws and Super-Mutants. The Aliens really need to step up their game if they want to use that term.

It's neat how the Captain looks like Casper the Friendly Ghost when he is vaporized.

Fire Phasers Mr. Worf! I really liked the battle with the other spaceship too. It was lots of fun blowing it up.

Now should Marl stay or should he go?

These are some great shots! I can't believe you were able to get a shot in the middle of that battle - and restart the generators yourself too! That is the hardest battle I've ever fought in any video game ever, it took me years to beat it! To think clearly enough in that panicked moment when your ship is being blasted to take a screen is amazing!

I'm so glad you got the one of the other ship exploding, what a moment of relief that is you captured in that shot!

Awesome shots !!!!

Indeed!


I don´t think alien astro turds belong in Fallout, but these shots were great nevertheless

I did not like it either the first time I tried Mothership Zeta. I got about half way through and stopped playing. Mixing genres the way it does just completely rubbed me the wrong way.

But when years later I wanted to play a genuine samurai from 16th Century Japan, I realized that the Mothership was the perfect way to make that happen. The aliens keep people on ice from all time periods. So it can be a wonderful roleplaying device.

I agree, just as SubRosa, I used it this time to roleplay a character from before the Great Wahhh. But in the end it was really getting tedious, I couldn't wait to finish it.

But there are some awesome weapons to be found in the space.

Persephone teams up with an Octo-Darryl at the Our Lady Of Perpetual Misery Hospital

"Hallo, someone there?"

Up close

Disarming the mutie

Still standing

Craterside

Wide view

That poor Mr, Handy is about to have a very bad day, lol.

"Hallo, someone there?" is my absolute favorite, what a scary shot for you to be playing with the camera on! Gaaaaah!!!!

"Disarming" the Mutie made me laugh, lol. Great play on words, lol.


Still Standing is another - I've been in that tunnel a lot, how did I miss the Nuka Cola there? I may have even grabbed it, but didn't remember it was "Jenga" stack!

Craterside was another excellent shot, you captured the feel of Megaton so well with that one shot!


Really love this update!

Persephone disarmed mutie before he could even equip his nail board.

The coffee mug under the Nuka Bottle looks like a roll of toilet paper.

Now from this perspective I understand why Tenpenny wants to get rid of Megaton.

Awesome pics SubRosa!

Fallout 3 stands as my favorite Beth game. Indoor battles with muties and Sentry Bots will always be the ultimate moment in video gaming for me. Fallout 3 allows so many different tactics, like melee as Persephone shows, or grenades and mines, or sneak and sniper, or missiles screaming down hallways, or ghoul mask, or using followers, everything is covered.

The online Call of Duty crowd are missing out!

Yay, a mechanical Darryl!

Heh, I knew exactly what was coming as soon as I saw the word ‘disarming’.

What a neat little precariously balanced. . . collection.

Wow, craterside really shows the shared influence between Skyrim and FO. That is, some of the Sky dungeons have that huge cavern type feel as well.
