Happily, Annie can change from just hair to either beret or cowgirl hat on a whim! She really is a cute but dangerous character – a neat combination.

Eeep! I expected to see one of the ‘S’ critters waiting in ambush in the toilet bowl.

Hey, I go past that sign for Boulder City regularly.

Wow, the Legion surely has expanded their empire.

The girl in the plastic bubble looks safe from getting any of that post-apocalyptic goo on her.

That new rifle looks very much like an M-16 with a 30 round mag. I remember you saying how she uses it. She is wise indeed to use just the single shot or sometimes three-round burst. Fully auto is silly for a shoulder weapon.

Love the cowgirl hat! Is that an old U-2 at Nellis behind her?

War face = down to business!

Fire department – that is one big scorpion!

Doctor’s order – Is Annie writing that other woman a ticket for wearing a dirty/bloody shirt? What is that tank thing on Annie’s back?

Acadian: You should try out FONV, just to see your home state in a game! If someone would set a game in Detroit, I know I would. Come to think of it, you could make a post-apocalypse game set in Detroit, without the need for an apocalypse. We are already there!

Annie's new weapon is a Colt M4A1 Carbine, the latest in the M-16 'family'. I believe the US Military is now transitioning to make it the standard rifle for all services, though I could be wrong.

I really like the mod that allows you to use single shot, burst, or auto with automatic weapons. I almost never go full auto. Instead semi-automatic fire is perfect for long range shooting, and burst fire for most everything else. It is only when gigantic monsters like Deathclaws and Giant Radscorpions get right in Annie's face that she goes to full auto.

That plane is just sort of a generic airplane that they made for FONV. At least I think so, I don't recall seeing them in FO3. The airfield is called Clark Field in the game. I am not sure if it is called that IRL. It is the airfield just south of Searchlight. In the game it runs east to west, and is the very southern edge of the map. I looked at it in Google Earth, and in Real Life it runs north to south, and doesn't seem to have a name. It looks like its been abandoned?

That bloody top is the standard Doctor's Outfit in FO3 and FONV. It seems they aren't too picky about making a mess when they work... The tank on Annie's back is her air supply. She is wearing her space suit in that pic, minus the helmet. It gives a huge bonus to radiation resistance, which comes in very handy in some areas.

Beach blanket bingo!

I guess this means Annie has joined the Stormcloaks

Graveyard waltz

Annie is seeing the sights

There is more to see inside the dam

Annie feels sorry for some of the abominations she has to kill

Nightmare

Daymare

Those carbines have so much spread, though. I must never have ever reached the point of being high enough in the skill to overcome that spread differential - so I use scoped sniper rifles; have to or I'd never hit anything, lol.




Probably where the alien craft that crashed is stored, lol.




I would love to have that on my trips to the outside entrance of Vault 87 - that is a MUST do every single game, just for fun.





Those Mirelurks kill me a LOT in game with those sonic weapons! How on earth did you get this close!!!! Awesome shot!!!

I absolutely LOVE Caesar's Legion, it was always hard to go against them - loved the look of the armor, and now that I have the PC game I intend to make some needed enchantments on a set for myself, lol.

One of the things I found most awesome in NV was that putting on the armor of the enemy would give you a chance to infiltrate their ranks - that was very cool! I love this shot, great close-up !!!

Really hated that taking anything in the dam was considered stealing, what a great place to loot if not for the stigma. But whether I'm neutral or liked by that faction or not, I always take the stealth suit in that radiated storage room, lol.

GAAAAAAH !!!! What the hell is that thing behind Annie? Urk !!!!

The daymare - OMG, I died so many times in that quarry! One time I managed to make it to the top of one of those cranes and was doing great till I ran out of ammo and the mother came. This shot was spectacular because I know exactly the danger she is in whether that deathclaw is falling or not (because if it could reach the ledge she is on, so could the rest). I absolutely LOVE this shot, but it is not my fave, this one is:


Annie feels sorry for some of the abominations she has to kill


What a tremendous facial expression you caught here! This shot is my absolute fave, what an amazing screen this is!

Thanks for all those answers – it helps since I don’t play the game.

Beach bingo looks like Argonian versions of Darryl!

Annie’s mask in the Stormcloaks pic looks like one of those Dunmer chiten rigs.

Graveyard is a great action shot. Is it just the lighting or did Annie add some gold color to her hair?

I love the one of Annie and her high ponytail studying the Hoover Dam.

mALX is right – nice face study as Annie ponders her victims.

Nightmare: Go forth little human and spray your foes with fire!

Acadian: The fellas on the beach are Lakelurks. In Fallout 3 they are called Mirelurk Kings. They are mutated crabs, and rather nasty creatures. But good eatin'!

That isn't Annie in the Stormcloak picture. It is an assassin from the Imperial Caesar's Legion. They start showing up to kill you if/once you cross them, which usually does not take too long.

Graveyard is just the lighting making Annie's hair brighter. That was taken in the early morning, and the rising sun is shining directly upon her.


Night Vegas

Annie enjoys the Solar System show at Repconn Headquarters

In action with the NCR

Annie kicks back and enjoys a moose

This does not bode well

Annie does her part in the war against the rainforest

Night Vegas – Woot! The Stratosphere! Gosh, that’s a familiar skyline.

I chuckled to see Annie in the Orerry.

Then some shootin’ and drinkin’.

Uh oh, the plants kill? After seeing those radscorpion things before, I saw 'ants kill' when I first looked at the sign.

Wow, a flame thrower!

Must say, I do like her rasberet better than the yellow hat stolen from one of the Village People.

Annie is adorable. I love her fire hat and axe combo.

That was an amazing shot, you could not have created a more perfect lighting than that if you tried. Her hair is outstanding.





Night Vegas is awesome, one of those quiet moments in the wasteland that really enhance the feeling of post-apocalyptia - really endeared me to the Wasteland in Fallout 3 how quiet and peaceful it became at night.

That Repcon site was really well done, I missed it this last play through on the 360. had Veronica in tow and so headed straight up to Vegas instead of touring and sight-seeing, lol.

Absolutely LOVE the "In action with the NCR" shot, has to be my favorite !!! The guy pointing to where she is supposed to be shooting, and her concentrating on aiming - fantastic shot !!!


Moose: Looks like Annie has had more than one Moose, lol.


Rainforest - I hate that vault, even hate trying to get to it through all those cazadors - how in the world did she get up there in such good shape? I died a hundred times trying to reach it, darn Veronica needing to go there!


These are all awesome shots! I am loving your tour of the Mohave Wasteland !!! Brings back a lot of great memories of the tons of fun that game is !!!

Acadian: Home sweet home right? Except for maybe the super-mutants and giant radscorpions...

I like Annie's construction hat. It makes me tempted to roll a toon who would wear that hat, some coveralls, and use a sledgehammer. I think there might be a nail gun somewhere too. They would be The Constructor! Dum dum dum!


Grits: All they need is a fireman's coat and you would have the trifecta with the axe and helmet. Though the space suit makes a good stand in.


mALX: The Repconn headquarters was really easy. Annie's Science and Intelligence are up high enough that she was able to hack all the robots to give herself access to everything. She was able to loot the entire place without firing a shot.

I think that rainforest vault was the creepiest place in FONV. It isn't really very dangerous. But it gave me a real sense of claustrophobia, and a steadily mounting sense of tension as I went deeper and deeper within.


It looks like Annie found Skyrim

It's all about the hats

Annie updates her map

Annie vs. Bugsy Siegel

Two to the head

Annie has been saving this gun for just this occasion

Benny meets the same fate as Bugsy Siegel

Holy Cow, "Annie Get Your Gun!" WOOOOOOOOT !!!

I've never noticed it in my own game, but was really surprised to see the image for Benny's crippled head looked very female and oriental! ROFL !!! I will most def have to look much more closely the next time I play to see if my game shows the same way, lol. How could I have missed seeing that?

I love Annie's showdown with Benny, it looks like the fight really lasted a while! What a battle!

Annie and the map = "Annie get your shovel!" I loved that little mini=quest, really loved carrying around a shovel and finding graves out in my travels and digging them up, lol.

I know Annie is just north of Jacobstown in the "Skyrim" screen, she must be getting those stealth boys! I see she has Lily following! Is she a good follower? I've never tried Lily out, was a bit leery if she'd work with a stealth character, lol. (Ed-E didn't, but was a lot of fun anyway, lol).

Annie is making me homesick for Vegas, I am loving taking this tour with her!


** What you said above about the rain forest - you described it much better than I could have, but said exactly how it felt in there. That place gave me the creeps!

By Kynareth’s wings, it does indeed look like Annie found Skyrim!

I see that Annie is all about hats the way some elves are all about shoes. . . .

Annie and the map – “Turn left at the third bottle. . . .

mALX is right: Annie get yer gun! I can certainly understand killing that guy based solely on that fashion faux pas he probably calls a jacket.

mALX: You are right, Benny does look Asian in those pics! I didn't notice it either, until you pointed it out.

Annie did carry around a shovel for a while. But she just didn't have the heart to dig people up. Lonesome Dove didn't have any qualms though. She dug up everything she came across. One day I might try playing a character who uses the shovel as their main weapon, like the Shoveler from Mystery Men!

Annie only used Lily as a follower for the quest to investigate the Nightstalkers outside of Jacobstown. She was pretty handy there though. She comes with a car bumper sword that she is pretty good with. Her dialogue is a lot of fun, she keeps calling you her granddaughter/son. Annie didn't pick up any stealth boys though. I think she only has one at the moment, and I think she has only ever used one or two in the entire time I have played her.


Acadian: Cyrodiil is right next door from where I took that Skyrim pic, but I already took a pic of that with Aurora.

I have found that Annie loves her hats. She tries on almost every piece of headgear she finds. She claims it is all about keeping out of the sun, but I don't believe it...

Poor Benny, he inherited his suit from his real-life inspiration - Bugsy Siegel


Annie learns the Legend of the Star

The Strip at night

Welcome to Nellis AFB

I am sure Acadian recognizes this classic plane

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

Look what Annie found in Lake Meade

Floating Superfortress

Annie and her hats! I love it. She does seem quite fascinated with that animated rancher thing. Wow, the Strip looks like it has seen better days. Nellis looks neat. Heh, I’m guessing bits and pieces of a B-29? Yikes! How did that grummite get there from the Shivering Isles? Swimming in Lake Meade looks like great fun. Yup, I’m thinking B-29s.

Swimming, neat! The strip at night looks pretty. I really enjoyed this set of pictures, even though I have no idea what’s happening in the game. Some day…

Acadian: Annie has added a few new hats to her collection of late. That is a B-29 indeed. You can float one up that is at the bottom of Lake Meade. The Boomers (who live in Nellis AFB) plan to refurbish it and put it to use. Annie also recruited them to help fight the Legion. If they can do it with a working bomber, that would be great!


Grits: The underwater areas in FONV are a lot more interesting than those in Oblivion. There are lot of plants and sunken boats and things to look at. There are even fish, though you cannot catch them like in Skyrim.

Don't feel bad about understanding. There is not much to it. Post-Apocalyptic Mayhem pretty much sums it all up.


Welcome to Zion

What are these drops of water falling from the sky?

Settin' for a spell

Note to self, don't drink the shaman's special tea...

Annie is not sure if the Ghost was real or not, but she killed it anyway

Someone give this woman a hand...

The Burned Man

OMG, I hope you can get screens of that B29 in flight over the dam!!! Or any screens of that battle, I haven't ever made it to the battle yet!!!


Aurora is knock-dead gorgeous, I love those sunglasses on her! Not sure how I missed that screen last time, but I just caught it.

I've got to love the rain one - favorite! I have never seen rain in either wastelands, so that stunned me - and it looks like you captured the same sensation in Annie, perfect expression to reflect her confusion at what was happening.

These are all great shots, I am really wanting to learn more about this DLC, especially about the Tribal tea!


Loved this whole update, Thank you so much for sharing these!

Zion is spectacular!

Drops of water indeed. Precious stuff in the desert for sure.

Settin’ for a spell got me excited. First at the prospect of magic spellcasting in FONV, and secondly at the prospect that one could cast a spell while sitting!

Shaman’s tea. . . now is that more like mALX’s famous vampire juices or perhaps more related to yellow snow?

Ghostbusting, or ‘Shoot first, ask questions later’ – good words to live by.

Won’t be shakin’ hands with that l’il filly. Nosiree.

Burned man. Not familiar with this, but the image and possibilities are indeed evocative.


As ever, a nice selection of shots and wonderful peek into your game.

mALX: I don't know if the B-29 ever flies or not. It would be neat if it did. But I wouldn't be surprised if Obsidian never went that far to make that work. There are a lot of things in FONV that seem to have been half done, then abandoned.

Aurora's sunglasses are from Sunglasses Collection NV, it adds a bunch of neat sunglasses.


Acadian: Zion is probably the most beautiful area I have seen in a fallout game. Granted, these games are not known for looking idyllic!

Sadly no matter how long Annie sat, she never learned any spells!


I started the Lonesome Road dlc, and have some pics from that.

Meet the other E-DE, in The Divide

The first place you visit is a ballistic missile silo

Now I know where the Red Skull went after the first Captain America movie

America's bright future is in your hands

Welcome to The Divide

Our Hope For Our Children

It is a broken, tortured land

A new hat for Annie the Ranger!

Wow, an ICBM that somehow didn’t get used?

Love the signs and how you included them for your screens. Very sobering, are they not?

Broken tortured land. . . that almost looks inspired by the Deadlands. I know, I know, stuck in TES. . . .

Acadian: I like that park ranger hat, it reminds me of the old school Marine Corps campaign hats.

Apparently there were several nukes that didn't get used. Annie fixed that later however...

The street signs have quite a bit of sarcasm in them, don't they?

The Deadlands would be a good name for The Divide. It is the most desolate, ruined place I have seen in the Fallout games.


The Divide

American Sniper

American Atoms

Returning to the Mojave

Tying up loose ends at Dry Wells (after Annie used the missiles from The Divide to nuke Caesar's Arizona).

Taking a break back at the homestead

On to the Serra Madre

I like that Annie has a thing for hats! Of course, it is great to see that long ponytail sometimes. . . .

Divide – Oh noes, they partially filled in the Grand Canyon!

Sniper is very mysterious. It looks like something from one of the Predator movies.

Woot! There’s Annie in her raspberry beret standing in front of an atomic powered sex toy!

And back to the Mojave. Yup, if she’s gonna wear a hat, I like the beret.

Loose ends – I can see why Annie killed him. I mean, just look at that headgear!

Homestead. Aww, bears. I finally get to return the description you once applied to Buffy: ‘Cuddly – like a rattlesnake’.

Serra Madre. That ghostly figure seems to be dressed in more flowing and revealing attire than Annie normally wears. Is she a Daedra Lord that somehow teleported to the wrong game?

Forgive my 'stuck in TES' orientation. Are these shots from a FONV DLC?

I love the Zion pictures. That’s one of my favorite real-life places. Pre-apocalypse.

The Burned Man picture looks really neat. It makes me want to find out his story.

I like Annie’s sleeveless long coat!

That’s a lot of bears! Dino is my favorite. Are these toys you can find in places?

Acadian: Annie hasn't found any new hats she likes much lately, so a lot of ponytail shots are coming up.

Sniper comes from two things she picked up in the Divide. A suit of powered armor and an Anti-Material Rifle. She has a few other suits of power armor laying around the house at home. Annie finally took the perk that allows you to wear the stuff, so I decided to give it a whirl. Her carbine looks too small compared to the armor, so she had to use a bigger gun as well, hence the Anti-Material Rifle.

That ghost is close to a Daedric Princess. She is a vampire princess! Well, she is voiced by one. Laura Bailey - who did Serana's voice, did hers as well. That one of her at the end is from the Dead Money dlc. I have more coming up from that, and from the Old World Blues dlc.


Grits: I googled Zion National Park and was delighted to discover that it was real!

The Burned Man is very prominent in the recent history of the vanilla Mojave setting. You can learn a lot about him from talking with one of the Rangers at Camp Golf, who gives you the entire story of how Caesar's Legion attacked Hoover Dam and how they were stopped, and the legend of what happened afterward...

I didn't like like the sleevless coat. It just looks... unbalanced to me without the sleeves. So it went in the wardrobe back home.

Teddy bears and toy cars are two of the standard toys from FO3. So are baseballs, baseball gloves, and some statics of blocks and roller skates. FONV added the dino toys. They are Dinky the Dinosaur toys. The full size Dinky lives in Novac. You can buy the toys from the shop inside, or find them in a few places in the wasteland. You can buy the rockets there too. They glow because they have a radioactive isotope in them. You can use them in a quest to get some real rockets running!


The Dead Money team - from left to right Dean Domino, Annie, Christine Royce of the BOS, and Dog/God

Annie trying out a pre war hat and a BAR

ghost busting

With Dead money finished, Annie moved on to the Old World Blues dlc

At the science fiction double feature

A rude awakening at Big MT

Annie fetched the cyberdog gun (it has a dog's brain)

Slugging it out with a dead man in a still living powered exoskeleton (well, it is supposed to be a powered exoskeleton, it is just the vanilla spacesuit)

A lobotomite, one of the most common baddies in the Big MT

Annie visits a pre-war school simulation

Cyberdogs playing poker

The Big MT

Yay for the ponytail shots. I didn’t realize you were unfamiliar with the real Zion. I’m so glad you googled it! Anyway, thanks for more shots from Annie’s Fallout adventures.

The Dead Money team sure looks like a motley crew.

Another hat. An ‘IndieAnnie Jones’ hat!

Ghostbusting = Angry Annie.

That is a very neat shot of Annie sitting there by herself watching the ‘movie’. Moody, haunting, lonely, big sky, beautiful.

Rude awakening = Beautiful ponytail!

That dog gun even has K9000 written on the side!

And a space skellie.

Lobotomite – what a name for a baddie!

Luvs the skool ABC’s.

Dog poker.

So, what is the Big MT?

Acadian: The funny thing is that there is an Indiana Jones hat in FONV. If you take the Wild Wasteland perk, as all of my characters now do, there is an old refrigerator laying by the side of the highway near where you start. Inside is a pre-war skeleton of a man with the Indy hat. But thanks to how the Beth games clothing changes based on your character's sex, it turns into this silly beret-like thing with a feather sticking out of it if you are female.

The god gun barks and snarls when enemies are near, which is handy. It has 'ears' that perk up and down too. It seemed random to me, but the wiki claims it when it detects enemies as well.

Big MT is short for Big Mountain, also called The Big Empty (which I prefer, as it perfectly describes the brains of the 'people' you find there). It is a pre-war research center, that used to be underneath a mountain. But at some point they blew up the mountain overhead, leaving just a rim of jagged rock around the place like a crater.

Before the war they created all sorts of high-tech weapons and gizmos. The used captured Chinese prisoners of wars for test subjects, and unsuspecting Americans as well. They made the holograms in the Sierra Madre, from the Dead Money dlc, and the poison gas in the place as well. They also created some of the abominations that roam the wastelands, like Night Stalkers (mutant coyote/rattlesnakes) and cazadors (hideously dangerous giant insects). They are basically as evil as evil scientists can be. Annie intends to kill them all as soon as she gets the opportunity.

Annie has a new outfit

This does not look good

Roboscorpion!

Annie's outfit is a stealth suit (and it talks to her)

Annie plays Halo

The guns of Big MT

Annie found a mini-Deathclaw named Stripe

Thanks for the info on your game!


I like Annie’s new outfit. What are the little nipple plugs for? I’d be hesitant to speculate so I thought I’d ask.

Nightstalker Test Area – Looks like that’ll just perk Annie’s curiosity instead of instill caution.

Holy crap! As if mutant giant scorpions weren’t bad enough. Now someone’s making RoboScorps?!?

How clever to have an outfit that keeps her company while adventuring!

A raspberry beret with a halo around it!

That’s a neat sky above Big MT.

The little deathclaw is adorable! And I’m still liking Annie’s high ponytail.

Acadian: I think those are twin sensor dishes in the chest...

Those roboscorpions are really tough too. They took more killing than anything else in the game.

I wish I could get the Halo to work with Annie's hair, but it makes it disappear, and she looks bald. Unless she wears a hat. It is weird.


The House loses

Ready for battle

Against the Legion

Leading the final assault

Death From Above

House loses - That looks like a draugr in the first shot. Perhaps hooked up to various devices so he wouldn’t have to leave the gaming floor of the casino to eat/pee etc? And I really like Annie's talking armor (with the nipple plugs).

Ready for battle – Is that a California bear on her chest plate?

Against the Legion – What a great close up of Annie! She looks great – and very determined!

Leading the assault – Annie git yer Gun!

Death from above! Did someone finally get that B-29 working?

I commented these on the other thread, but that was before I learned the whole info about this quest - what a horrific dungeon crawl this was, just amazing you were able to get any screenshots at all! Some really thought provoking signs/titles/and images!

I commented these screens on the other thread, but wanted to come back here and tell you how much your original words about this DLC inspired me in making my own mod.

You were talking about this quest and how the developers went all out to set the atmosphere of devastation in this place, that it was striking to you and really enhanced the immersion in the beginning of this DLC (before the neck collar run, probably, lol). Your words really sank in.

Not a day later from reading what you said about that mod, I read someone else's comment on Nexus that was talking about a part of that particular mod that the author sank his work into making that area immersive rather than beautiful; he used a lot of the same words and expressions you had in talking about the beginning of this DLC.

And looking back at this post in hindsight now, I can feel that immersion coming off your posts, your screenshots and the mood - really awesome, and brought us viewers into the mood with you as you tackled it.

It really got me thinking a lot about the way I dabble in the CS/CK/Geck - I really like to make pretty facades in my mods because it is something I can do to really see and feel the contrast from the vanilla game and know I've really created something completely different (and hopefully beautiful) out of something that wasn't. I really like to see the contrast in what it was and what it is after I dabbled around in it - (and then have to scramble to come up with some Lore to explain that beauty in a wasteland devastated by nuclear holocaust).

That is why I rarely if ever upload my mods, because they are only made because I just really enjoy dabbling my paintbrush; the fun for me is in the making of them, and in being able to go in game and see something I actually created and remember all the work and fun it was to make it - not really thinking about the Lore till I show it to someone else; because it doesn't break my immersion in the game, it enhances it.

Anyway, it was because of what you said that I tried something different in modding - made my first attempt at making an immersive mod rather than a pretty one. It was not as much fun, the feeling of having accomplished something didn't come immediately like it does in retexturing buildings, etc - but it will def be a satisfying feeling if someone tells me it is immersive to them, lol.

Anyway, I'll have to dedicate that cell to you and your statement that made me pull out all stops to make that cell immersive.







I was so excited seeing the Sierra Madre screen until I realized it was the same mod as the neck-collar run, urk!

These robot dogs had me cracking up, and the dog brain gun did too when I researched it,

All awesome shots!






These shots are all Awesome, I always like seeing Annie's latest armor. Love the Spike idea, and now I know to mod his AI aggression before I play this so I don't have to kill him!

Thank you so much for sharing Annie's adventures with us!






I saw these earlier today on the other thread, and they are STILL exciting to look through!!!! I absolutely LOVE theshot of Annie leading the final assault, look in the background to those two NCR, one has been hit - that shot is tremendous for giving the feel of that battle and what was going on around her.

Holy Cow, the Boomers came, and you caught it on film! AWESOME !!!!! I don't know how you managed to take any shots with that huge battle going on!

I have never seen any screenshots or vids of the battle at Hoover Dam, yours are the first I've ever seen, these are Awesome - these made my whole week !!!!

Acadian: You are close in your thoughts on the House Loses pic. That is Richard House, the creator of RobCo Industries. He was alive before the nuclear war, 200 years before the game. I guess he has not aged well!

That is indeed a California Bear on Annie's armor. Or a New California Bear at least - with two heads. It is from a NCR Powered Armor mod I found. I have been saving it up for the final big battle.

They finally did get that B-29 flying! It is a good thing Annie helped out those Boomers!


mALX: Wow, that is really gracious of you to say how what I said inspired you to do something different in modding. I think modding can be as fun as playing the game. It ought to be, considering how long it often takes! I definitely agree that doing it is its own reward, and the important thing is that you enjoy what you created. Like you, I don't upload most of the mods I create, because I think most people wouldn't really care for them. I make them for myself. Lately I have been looking at how to export armor from Fallout 3 into Skyrim. I think it would be cool to play a Sky character who came from the Wasteland. How doesn't really matter. The Dragobreak, the fabric of reality being ripped at the Throat of the World, or just Aliens. Just imagine going through Skyrim with Winterized Combat Armor, or a suit of T45 Power Armor. I think that would be fun to do with Molly Hatchet. But it looks like converting meshes is a huge pile of worms, that just goes completely over my head.

It is too bad Spike was hostile. He would have made for a great companion!


Now that Annie Ley Oak has beaten the game silly, I have moved on to Fallout 3.

Meet Molly Hatchet

How she got her name

Gagh is best served live?!?

Talon Company flyyyinnn soooo hiiiigh

Back to the Washington Wasteland it seems.

Well, welcome to Molly! Nice to see her hair color matches her fire axe. I'll assume she's a natural redhead (and not ask drapes/carpet questions) as it looks like her hair color might inspire a bit of a temper as well. An interesting doo for sure – would you call that a twin peacock mohawk mebbe?

Urgh, that bowl of . . . stuff is alive, eh?

OMG, you had me dying here with the curtains and drapes


By the way, those are just noodles (not alive),


@ SubRosa:




Molly is cute! Is that the Fallen Angel hairdo?

Holy cow, she is wicked with that axe !!! What is her melee stat at so far?

Raman noodles!


SPEW !!!! Favorite, right here !!!! AWESOME SHOT !!!!

Cliffracer Talon Merc fly sooooo hiiiigh, and flyyyyyying...

I have just started studying conversion from Oblivion to Skyrim, which is probably worse - I want RileyMarks and MEO's static dishes in my game so badly I can't see straight. RM gave me permission, but MEO won't (so won't be able to add his to any mods, but I can use them in my game).

The only tutorials i've found were for porting/converting armors or weapons; nothing for clutter statics; but I'm going to keep trying at it. It took me 6 weeks to create a tankard filled with beer, and it is in my game in every home /tavern/etc - looks Awesome!


http://i434.photobucket.com/albums/qq67/Ma...zps6425db86.png


That is the Skyrim tankard, a bowl of stew minus the bowl, and the beer from RileyMarks; so since I have his permission it is flying with any mod I produce whether I upload it or not.

If you need any tutorial links, I've got them up, it will only take a second to send them. I am sending you a PM on the inspiration, don't want to post links on your page here.

Acadian: Back to DC indeed. Molly's hairstyle is called Fallen Angel. It has always been one of my favorites from Fallout 3. She might dye it with the blood of her enemies!

I could not resist a Star Trek reference with the bowl of noodles. In one of the Next Generation episodes a character spent some time serving on a Klingon ship as part of an officer exchange program. He sat down in the mess hall and noticed that the 'noodles' in his bowl were moving. One of the Klingons then mentions that gagh (the noodles were worms) are best served live...


mALX: Molly's melee is not that high yet. Only about 50 or 60. She has had to put points in science and lockpick to get doors open, and she spent a few on explosives in the hopes of being a little more accurate when she throws grenades in VATS. I am not sure if that is helping or not. I tried making some New Vegas style melee perks, but FO3 just doesn't have the entry points to modify things like weapon speed, or even action point cost. I did mod the Iron Fist perk to make it work with both melee and unarmed, and made it add 7 points to damage per rank, rather than 5. Molly has two ranks in that so far.

That beer looks very foamy! No wonder, it is from a mod, not one of the vanilla games. I will hold off any more attempts at converting meshes to Skyrim. I do have links for tutorials. Looking at them makes my head hurt after a while...

Kablammo!

Molly is on the move

Greyditch has never looked the same since Molly's visit

Having a ghoulish time

Relaxing in her bedroom

Old news – Ahah! I remember that scene with the gagh now. I just didn’t connect the noodles worms dots.


Kablamo – nice to see Molly with a big girl gun. It really looks cool in front of her dual mohawks.

Molly on the move – back to her axe namesake hatchet.

Greyditch – I had a chuckle over the poor mail box.

Axing a ghoul!

As soon as I saw the title of the last one, I knew to look for teddy bears!

I've just started a tutorial and downloaded all but one of the links - that one is an older archived model of the Blender (like 2.49b) - which is no longer available for upload, so not sure how I'm going to get that.

But here is the tutorial, in case you haven't seen this one yet - it sounds a little easier to follow than the others I was trying to follow:

How in the world did she fight those ants with an axe !!!!!! Even drinking their nectar to ease the burning they killed me several times, lol.

I love Molly's armor in that Greyditch shot!

This is the first time I've ever actually seen the Survival guide! How odd the world copy of the Repellent stick looks, it looked so different in your hands, lol.

I see Misa has some catching up to do again !!! Awesome shots !!!

Acadian: Molly found another big gurl gun today as well, and put it to good use... But she will always be axing for trouble...


mALX: The ants never killed Molly, but they did set her on fire several times. The outside part was the worst, because Molly couldn't sneak up on them, or hide behind corners very much. She has a Railway Rifle that she uses for times like those, when she cannot get up close to things.

Misa better step on it, because now Molly is headed to the Museum of Science and Tech to find a antenna for Three Dog!


Time for a nuka break

Popping the top on a nuka bot

Pest control

Molly killed her first Deathclaw

This is about her 7th Enclave Power Trooper

Molly found a big gurl gun

OMg, how did you get her to hold that Nuka Cola bottle? And what armor is that? I love it! Favorite shot, right here!


Wow, I can't believe it - I actually made it here at the same time as Molly! I found it on my way somewhere else, but couldn't pass up the Nuka Quantums, lol.


Holy Crap, that ant is HUGE !!!!


OMG, she killed a Deathclaw with an axe? HOW? AWESOME !!!! That deserves a descriptive play by play !!!!!


Beheading the Enclave - got to be my second favorite shot, ROFL !!! I love the action shot in this! They are not rolling in my game yet, I wonder what event triggers them? All I've seen is the Eyebots.


Holy Crap, is that a behemoth? Urk, where is she?

Nuka break - Ah, the pause that refreshes!

Top-popping - Danger, Will Robinson! Danger! ( Reference for younger members. )

Bug hunting - Jiminy Cricket! I don’t know if that thing is a spriggan, chaurus hunter or spider! Glad Molly axed it though.

Deathclaw - See how good Molly looks as a two hander? Remember that when she goes to Skyrim!

Enclaver – Molly is head-poppingly good with that axe!

Big gurl gun – Wow, that guy wielding a fire hydrant reminds me of the Arnold scene in Pradator – “You are one ugly-looking mo-“.

mALX: The holding the soda bottle is one of the game's default poses. You can use them with the console. Just

There is a list of the vanilla idle poses here as pictures. All you have to do to use them is to enter the console, type TFC to get the free camera. Use TM to hide the hud. Then type in:

Player.PlayIdle [posename]

Most of the poses will play for a moment or two, then go back to the default. But some never stop. So it is a good idea to save the game before you use any poses.

I also use Sari D's Pose pack. Like the vanilla poses, you have to use the console to type in which of her poses you want. She also has a reset pose, which works on all of hers, but not always on the vanilla poses. She also has the same pose pack for FONV.

The Deathclaw was one of the random world encounters. It was the one where 3 wastelanders were fighting a Deathclaw. Two of them died before Molly could get in close with her hatchet. After that it was a lot of hitting the stimpack hotkey and swinging for the fences!

The behemoth is from right outside the front door of Galaxy News Radio. It is the one that blows up the bus and kills the BOS iniatiate.

I have been seeing Enclave power armor troopers since level 1. They spawn in the usual places, like on the road between the Super Duper Mart and Springvale, at the ruined house. I must have killed 3 of them there. There is another one that spawns outside of Dukov's place. A 3rd one spawns north of the DC ruins. I forget exactly where.


Acadian: I remember Danger Will Robinson! That was one of my favorite shows when I was little. The big Bug was an Ant Queen. You don't see too many of those in the game. I think Molly is definitely going to stick with the two-handers come Skyrim. Nothing else is good enough for her!


Looks like Molly is the new guitar player for Guns N Roses...

Doing business in Underworld

Molly now has a Proton Axe (which I ported from FONV)

A friendly super-mutant? Molly has to write this down.

I think Molly going with two handed axes is a good choice – regardless of the game.


By Kyanareth’s wings, you nailed the linkage between Molly’s new hat and the guy in G&R who wears one like it!

That sales lady looks like she doesn’t get many customers. I love the clutter and items on the counter.

Woot! A bound axe for Molly! I love it.

I’m guessing a friendly super-mutant is way better than the alternative! Nice to see that Molly has her new axe ready just in case.

Oh, these poses are Awesome! I've downloaded both, been looking through them - no more screens of Misa's back once I get these loaded!!!

Do you know if there is a good head tracking or voice mod in FO3?



OMG, that Deathclaw fight sounds so exciting!!!! I wish you had that on vid, Holy Crap!!!



I am so close to tagging Molly! Misa did the 3 Dog Behemoth the last time I played!


That is so strange about the Enclave showing so early in your game - or maybe it is weird that I'm not seeing them so early! I have never seen them before about midway through the game, but don't know what the trigger for them to spawn was.


** EDIT: Okay, I just looked it up - they are not supposed to show up before the "Waters of Life" quest! So it may be using an alternative start that has triggered them early maybe?

If so, I may consider using an alternative start if it triggers the Enclave early! I really enjoy those battles and the great loot - although an early character might have to be really creative to kill Enclave with their higher levels above the player and excellent power armor - hmmm, like fighting a deathclaw!

That would be a blast, trying to outwit them for a kill, because they are always in groups! AWESOME !!! WOO HOO !!! I might def test out using an alternative start if that is what caused that to happen!


** EDIT 2:

Okay, it might not be your alternative start causing it; there is a mod that may be causing it:



That really does sound exciting though, I always loved it when the Enclave spawned for the excitement of having to really watch where you are going with much more diligence, lol.

OMG, I Love Molly in Lincoln's Hat !!!! She looks Awesome in it !!! Favorite shot is Guns N Roses !!!

Oh wow, you beat me to the conversion! I got one piece made from Oblivion to Skyrim, but am struggling to put the collision on it in ChunkMerge.

Now I know Misa has caught up with Molly, because she ran into Uncle Leo just south of Oasis!



*

Acadian: Once I saw Molly in that top hat, all I could think about were those old Guns n Roses videos with Slash standing on the piano playing guitar, face buried under all that hair, and of course, the beat up top hat. I wonder how he kept it from falling off?

The sales lady at Underworld was one of my inspirations to play a ghoul character, back when I did Medusa. I have always liked ghouls in the Fallout games. I never understood why they don't make them a regular playable race.

That one super-mutant is Uncle Leo. he is one of only two friendly super-muties in the capital wasteland. The other one is a follower named Fawkes, and is part of the main quest. I don't think you can meet him unless you do the MQ.


mALX: I don't know any head tracking or voice mods for FO3. The BruceVayne's voice packs from Oblivion might work, though I imagine they would need some script work.

It must be a glitch about the Enclave guys I keep seeing. I am not using an alternate start with FO3. That is Skyrim. FO3 is pure vanilla on that score. I haven't done any of the main quest aside from getting the radio dish for Three Dog, and escaping the vault at the start of the game of course. I usually see them in all my games, whether I do the main quest or not.

The Proton Axe is from FONV. So going to FO3 did not take anything special at all. I just had to copy the meshes and textures, edit the .nif file with the new folder the textures were in, and make an .esp to actually put the weapon in the game. There was no real converting at all.


Crossing over

She blinded him with science (the lab coat gives Molly a +20 rad resistance)

A legal use of deadly force has been authorized

This congress is now in session

Say hello to my little friend

Hello

"We the people of the United States..."

I looked up the Enclave showing up early - it comes with one of the DLC, probably BOS - and I have had two Enclave enemy attacks on me since I wrote that, but oddly enough there was only one Enclave at each attack (they usually travel in packs, lol). This last one was showing red on my radar, but I didn't dare shoot because there was a friendly Enclave Eyebot nearby. Suddenly the eyebot began shooting at me and its radar went red too, so I ended up killing it too after it hit me several times. That second Enclave was in Hellfire armor; not sure what that means.

I also found an Enclave dead outside the Deathclaw Sanctuary, and it was in Hellfire armor.

Screens:

Crossing Over = top favorite, what a great shot !!! That is a scary walk, how did you get in front of her to take that shot? Awesome !!!

The Capital Rotunda - I love that battle, everyone in the whole building is the Player's enemy, you can't get a break in there! Misa got these in early so she could send Molly that screen of her in Button's wig, lol.

I really love your captions here, because they a real tribute to some of the game's icons - like the robot, "Use of deadly force" - They really went all out with the personalities on those robots, didn't they? I love them! Except the securitrons, don't like them at all, lol.

These are all Awesome shots !!!

Fun shots!

Nimble Molly Crossing Over. Can she flap those delightful hair wings to get some lift?

Lab coat. I’m stunned. A SubRosa character actually adventuring in high heels?!?

Deadly force authorized – and witnessed by Robby the Robot. Love Molly’s ‘bound’ axe in action!

Congress is empty. That means it’s not passing any laws . . . which is a good thing. Nice pose by Molly!

Little friend! By Mara, I was expecting to see some bodacious giant axe – maybe with laser beams. . . but it’s a freaking bazooka!

Heh, goodbye might be more appropriate than hello.

Robby George Washington Robot! He’s adorable!

I love Crossing Over. It gives us a good look at Molly's face.

High heels and a labcoat always makes me grin. Do the heels have a Fortify Agility enchantment?


Awesome!

I have no idea what’s going on with the robot and the wig, but it’s adorable. It’s fun to look at these even though I haven’t a clue!

mALX: It is probably because I have Broken Steel turned on that the Enclave guys are spawning then. I guess I could turn it off. But I like how it increases the level cap, even if I don't actually do the main quest. So I normally always leave it turned on. The same with the other DLCs really.

I used the TFC 1 command to freeze time while Molly was walking when I took that pic on the makeshift bridge between the hospital and the Statesman Hotel. That is how I do all of my combat pics too.

I think the robots are hilarious! I just love how the ticket-taking robots will kill people if they don't have a ticket! Life before the war must have been exciting. Every time you took the subway you were risking your life!


Acadian: I guess those two mohawks are like the twin tail sections on an F-14!

I know... heels! But they are part of the lab coat outfit. There are no separate shoes in FO3. The torso, leg, and foot pieces are all fused into one for all of Fallout's clothing and armor, like the Golden Saint armor from Shivering Isles.

Molly is not normally a ranged weapon person, but sometimes she cannot resist shooting a few rocket around and making things blow up. She's an American after all!


Grits: The heels should have a fortify charisma and a penalty to agility! They would if I were wearing them. Though granted, when I was twenty years younger I could play basketball in 5-inch stilettos. Now they are just for the walk from the living room to the bedroom...

The wiggy robot is Button Gwinnet, the second signer of the Declaration of Independence. Or at least the robot version of him. He is in the National Archives, part of a robot display that recreates the signing of the Declaration. Now he is protecting the Declaration from the invading Redcoats, who are on orders from King George III himself to take it back to England. Or so the robot thinks anyway. Molly played along with it.

You should try Fallout 3. It cannot cost much to buy the game with all the dlcs these days. A lot of people say it is Oblivion with guns, and they are not too far off the mark. It's a Bethesda game, so it plays very similar, and has the same open world. It is just set in a post-apocalyptic future. It also inherits a rather twisted sense of cynical humor from the original Fallout games. The combination makes for a very fun game.


The bigger they are, the harder they fall...

In the White House basement

Looking out over the Mall

Honest Abe has Molly's back

This Fat Man will take care of those pesky Talon Company mercenaries

The nuke is in the air

Ground zero

Molly found Mr. Gibson (who owns the Gibson House in Minefield)

Using Gibson's key to check the house

The gift of music

Is that the Behemoth that gets mad if you take its teddy bear in the cage?

Ooh, someone has got a fatman! And taking the time to pose for that screenshot - probably also got a crapload of radiation, lol.

Molly is standing where Forest Gump did! Lol. I love that shot, that pose and that view! (and that quest!)


OMG, Nuke in the air !!!!! Favorite shot, how on earth did you do that/catch it mid air? AWESOME !!!!!


Did one nuke kill them? I love that shot, but it is missing legs flying through the air


That Gibson mini-house set up - you would think Bethesda would have made a tiny model for that, but all that is shrunk down real assets - the house, the land under it, the trees around it! I found out because when I started playing on the PC, it crashed every single time I entered that house - never happened on the 360. So I went into the Geck and checked it out, and was stunned to learn it was all real stuff shrunk down !!

Well, making that ini changed fixed the crashing; but if it had never crashed I'd never have learned that about that cute little house set up, lol.

Oh, now I have to also favorite the Gift of Music one - Awesome shot !!! That looks so real and natural !!!!

Awesome shots, all !!!

Great shots of Molly in your game! I love those big dudes when they wield a fire hydrant, but they’re no match for Molly’s blue hatchet! Looking out over the Mall is a great shot – and it actually looks like a pretty day. Gift of music – so the bard profession is still alive and well in the 34th Era?
