Acadian: The alien blaster reminds me of the rayguns in the old 50's movies.

ghastley: That alien is pretty much the same as the ones Bethesda had in the Mothership Zeta dlc for FO3. So at least they are being consistent.


Bears need love too...

Elektra has her protective equipment on

Nuclear disarmament

Hazmat Ninja

Boston is a bad place to be named Quint...

I'm with Stinky

Elektra has been taking lessons from Obi-Wan

Aww, bonkin' bears!

Heh, I know what to expect when you say disarmament.

Wow, hazmat ninja certainly has her protective gear on.

Oh, Robbie needs a bath, does he?

Jedi Mistress taking down boy with baseball bat!

Acadian: Elektra is a hazmick ninja.

I think I figured out why Robbie had that big brown cloud around him. Legendary creatures (they have the word Legendary in their name) can mutate when they go under 50% health. It heals them up, gives them a damage bonus, and I think it might give them a random perk). That Robbie was a Legendary Protectron, so I think he mutated.

Jedi Elektra was taking on Darth Raidericus.


Stuck

Watch your step

Mighty big skeeters in these parts...

The big one

Unstoppable

I am not sure if this is an improvement

Friendly Elektra

Stuck!

I thought big skeeters was imposing until I saw mama deathclaw. Wow, looks like Godzilla!

What a cool pose in front of the Unstoppables sign.

Aww, Elektra of the Faint Smile.

Acadian: Talk about a bull in a china shop. Fallout has Brahim in a... well, ruin...

That basically was Godzilla!

Now Elektra just needs a bow!



Elektra found Grognak's axe and outfit, as well as that of the Silver Shroud

Queen of the shiny toilets

Queen of the Mirelurks

But in the end...

...there can be only one

Guess who's coming to dinner?

Chopstick

Let's Rock!

Great ‘barbarienne’ outfit. It looks like a good costume for ESO.

There are many toilets. . . but these three are mine!

Wow, that Mirelurk is one ugly [insert Arnold line from Predator].

But in the end – we know what’s coming next. That is a fabulous shot of Elektra in her victory stance.

Uh oh. Looks like Elektra’s gonna stick her blade where the sun don’t shine. Okay, I she decided to stand and go for a back shot instead.

Big Gurl Gunz with Fire!

Acadian: The Grognak does kind of look like those towels everyone was wearing in ESO.

Were you expecting something more like this to happen to that noodle-eating Raider?



Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?

The Silver Shroud!

The first step is a doozy...

Aye Aye Captain

Lieutenant Elektra

Super-Mutant art

There can be only one...

Twilight ninja

Wow, that gangster hat looks fabulous on Electra – like it was made just for her!

Eeek! That certainly is a doozy of a first step.

Did Elektra join the Navy of the Boston Commonwealth?

I guess you’d have to be a mutie to appreciate their artsiness.

Lots of folks losing their heads to the twilight ninja!

Acadian: The gangster stuff in Fallout 4 is cool.

Captain Ironsides of the U.S.S. Constitution gave Elektra a battlefield commission as Lieutenant. That is about as official as it can get 210 years after the Apocalypse!

I guess Elektra is a woman to lose your head over...



Mr. Pebbles

Hottie

Heavy Metal

It isn't over until the Fatman sings

Say hello...

Elektra has a zweihander for using with power armor

Hothead

The Mechanist!

Mr Pebbles is adorable!

I see Hottie’s wearing her full heavy metal jacket.

Just a fiery little fatman bomb. . . .

Woot! A big gurl sword for her big gurl armor!

Some great action shots.

Acadian: Mr. Pebbles was an adorable surprise.

That Tyrolean Landesknecht sword was one of the biggest weapons I could find, and it still looks kind of like a toothpick when Elektra is wearing the power armor. She needs one of those fire hydrant clubs the Behemoths used in Fallout 3!



Elektra of the Faint Smile

Drinkin’ Buddy the beer droid! C3BudP0.

Motley crew at the tea party.

Really like Elektra's face in 'If only were true'.

Ship’s anchor – just the big gurl weapon for Elektra when in her big gurl armor!

Well done, Jedi.

Acadian: Given her skills with the sword, this Faint Smiler is more like her namesake than our Teresa.

How come no one in Star Wars ever thought of a Liquor Droid!

There is a mod that allows you to use that anchor for a weapon. But it is about three times the size of a human, so even in power armor, it looks ridiculous to use.



Tv time

Gone fission

Lunch break

Dog toy

The Green Monster

Diamond City

The Detective

The Reporter

The Sole Survivor

Acadian: That fisherman was killed before the Great War, so I think Jerric is still safe. Besides, there would be a skeleton Ulfe beside him if that was Jerric...

The building with the baseball player statue is none other than Fenway Park, now Diamond City (which is located on the playing field, i.e. the baseball diamond.).

The Detective is a synth, hence his electronic eyes, and half-missing skin. He's a pretty cool guy.

Thankfully there is no sign of Boris or Natasha yet!


Renee: Elektra is in sneak mode in the tv picture. But that was after she killed everyone in the room.

Diamond City is actually pretty easy to get around. Almost everything is in a ring around that central post. There is a second ring of buildings around that one, but it only has a few things. Then past it is the outfield, which is pretty much wide open.



Lopov: I did not take any of the items from the skeletons. I did not want to disturb the scene.

Thankfully the statue does not come alive and attack, like the Gargoyles from Dawnguard.


Rihanae: I spent a lot of time working on Elektra, so I am glad she came out ok.

Matty looks like a superhero, or an old Sci Fi hero like Buck Rodgers!



Elektra has a feeling things have just gotten worse in the Commonwealth

The Brotherhood of Steel's new war machine at rest over Boston's Airport

Uh oh. Looks like the Death Star with its tiltrotor escort just showed up. Beautiful sky though!

Ahah! Brotherhood of Steel Death Star. Elektra’s twin crossed blades on her back look kewl.

Wow, that Mirelurk queen would be taller than the nearby utility poles if she had better posture! I think I’d be sneaking too, Elektra.

The bigger they are, the harder she hits (just like Minsc).

Oh I love that silhouette of sneaky Elektra against that beautiful starry sky.

Yup, the eyes have it.

What an adorable face on Elektra’s final shot!

Acadian: It is sort of like the Death Star. Only there is no Luke Skywalker, Lando Calrissian, or even Dameron Poe around the Commonwealth...

I liked that pic of the Queen because the bus puts her size in perspective.


A happy family reunion

It's not over until the fatman sings

*sings*

Giddyup!

The fens

Head over heels for Elektra

This is an interesting sign

I absolutely love the incongruity between the ghoulish family and mom’s pretty dress.

Wow, Fatman sings pretty loudly!

Aww, Teddy’s got a new pimped out ride.

Wicked-looking blade Elektra’s sporting in ‘fens’.

In ‘head over heels’ Elektra’s armor looks positively electrifying.

Acadian: The Institute has your basic Death Star interior. High tech and soulless. It matches their goals.

What a cool story! Loved Elektra disguising herself and sneaking into the Deathstar via VertiBirdie. Leaving charges and slipping away was brilliant. Such fun to watch the Deathstar exploding and falling from the sky. Let it burn!

Acadian: Elektra was definitely using the Force in those pics. The force of her right arm and sword!


The final assault upon the Institute begins

Elektra leads the way

A high explosive present for the fusion reactor

All that remains now is to push the button

I'm loving Elektra's armor. Also love the look on her face in 'high explosive present' - priceless!

Acadian: That Nano Suit was a good find. It is one of the top kudo'ed armor mods on the F4 Nexus.

Godzilla dies at the end

Welcome to Annie! Based on her hair color, I'm sure she'll have more fun in Boston. Her face looks fabulous - you are so good at that. Heavy metal vs Godzilla!

Acadian: It was not easy to get that hair color. I had to use a mod. The vanilla game has four varieties of what they call blond hair. Each one is a different shade of brown.

Close-up Again

From the depths

I know what you mean about the hair colors. ESO has medium brown or light brown. Happily the light brown looks pretty good for a honey blonde. The more yellow gold for Annie looks great for her environs. In fact I simply adore her 'California blue-eyed blonde' look. As you know, I'm much more a fan of that than the goth look that you often enjoy with your characters.

Thanks for the close ups! Both Annie and your game look fabulous!

Acadian: Annie is definitely less goth than my other characters like Persephone or Hecate.



Morning coffee and newspaper

Welcome to Diamond City

"I'm going to put my quantum harmonizer in your photonic resonation chamber!

"You'll thank me later."

Publick Occurrences

A beary coffee morning!

You’re gonna put your what in my where?!? Priceless look on Annie's face!

Acadian: Even bears need their morning caf!

I have no idea why Annie got that look on her face. It was just from a relatively normal conversation. So it was pure chance. But I just loved it!



Survivor

Teaming up with Robbie

Gravity is not a law, more like just a guideline in Diamond City

The Ranger and the Detective

Love the helmet graffiti!

Yay, Robbie!

Heh, looks like levitation made it to FO.

Annie looks great. Is pasty boy one of those synth beings?

Acadian: That helmet has all sorts of pop-culture references painted all over it. I especially liked the Imperial wheel symbol.

Pasty boy is indeed a synth. He appears to have been a prototype between the Gen 2s, which cannot pass for human, and the Gen 3 models, which can. He's a pretty cool guy. He has the personality (and attire!) of a Film Noir detective.


I found these glasses in Eli's Armor Compendium and decided to restart Hecate

Welcome back, Hecate! Gotta have those glasses.

How nice of that glowing one to self-illuminate as a target.

Love Hecate’s armor at the bar – very sleek and accents her delightful little figure.

Acadian: Keep this up and you might make Hecate blush...


Lining up a shot

Aww, give the kid a break; he's just trying to read the graffiti on Hecate's bewb plates. Now the rear view while scanning for Romulans. . . now that's distracting!

For Resolve Face, I can imagine Mr T: 'I pity da fool on da wrong end o' her sights!"

Getting High. . . was Robbie waving his arms and yelling, "Danger, Danger Will Robinson Hecate!" ?

I was surprised that the Robbie followed Hecate all the way up there. She had hacked him with a program that turned him into a temporary follower. About ten minutes later Hecate was down on the ground, and found a dead Protectron laying beside the building. So I guess he fell!

Teaming up with Robo-Darryl

Yay, Persephone 'lives'!

I see she brought her sword of smiting with her.

Nice how her armor lights up her important bits.

Darryl clearly underwent some serious changes - but whatever it takes to accompany his mistress is worth it. Actually, he looks good melded with Robbie.

Acadian: Maybe 'Persephone walks once again' would be more appropriate...

I will have to remember emptiness and eternity. I imagine that her eyes glow with starlight, the same light that streams down from the sky with the magicka that fuels Persephone's undead heart.

Persephone of the Faint Smile

Cold heart, cold eyes, cold land.

Is ‘Exterminators’ the opening Fighters Guild quest in Fallout – where you handle a rat problem?

Eaten by her armor! Eeep!

Well I recognized Persephone’s bloody blade in that fisticuffs shot.

When you’ve got them by the stones, their hearts and minds will follow. . . .

Raider’s underarmed and underarmored I’d say.

Does Persephone have some ice or frost magicks?

I just love her Faint Smile shot!

Acadian: I wish there was a Fighters Guild in the Fallout games. Clearing out mole rats would be a prefect introductory quest!

I did add a cryogenic damage effect to Persephone's sword. It only seems to kick in when she gets a critical hit though. Back in Skyrim she alternated between Malediction - which had an Absorb Health effect, and The Chill of the Grave - which did Frost damage. Sadly there is no Absorb Health in the Fallout games. So I went with the cold damage.



Dragon!

Deathclaw vs Deadwalker

Eye to eye

But in the end, there can be only one...

This looks like a nice place to settle down

Ruling from the tomb

What do you get when you cross a dragon with a daedroth?

What an epic series of shots of the flesh titan deathclaw vs the steel titan deadwalker.

Nice place to settle down – nice quiet neighbors, ya know?

Persephone looks very at home in her crypt in the new neighborhood.

Acadian: The answer to your question is a Deathclaw. They are one of my all time favorite game monsters.


Get a leg up

And the sky was filled with stars

Darryl goes to work

Close up

Persephone disarms a Raider

Heh, the first (Leg to Stand On) shot and the last one (Disarming) – is Persephone building a new Raider, part by part.

Beautiful starry night that showcases those magic eyes.

Yay, Darryl in a Full Metal Jacket!

Close up – another beautiful display of how darn talented you are with faces in character generation.

Acadian: Persephone building a monster one piece at a time would be ironic! But fear not, she will not follow the same route as her own creator...

I took out her scars, because I do not like how Fallout 4 makes them look. I find I preferred Skyrim's, with all their jagged and brilliant glory.


Ice bot

Malediction

Safety First

"Ice to see you..."

Right to the heart of the matter

Big or small, Persephone will chop them all

I absolutely love the flying ponytail action in the first two and very last shots!

Malediction is simply an EPIC shot.

And a beautiful sword!

Acadian: The full HDT physics that Fallout 4 has is really nice, with its extra effects like bouncing hair and flapping coat-tails.

The Regent mod that Malediction came from is really outstanding in its artwork.



By the Power of Greyskull!

Captain Persephone

I know what you mean about the HDT physics - ESO has that and I'm spoiled now too. Those two middle shots are fabulous action shots - well done! And I love how darker ambient lighting really showcases Persephone's eerie eyes.

I decided to give Hecate some love.

This is why hard hats are required in all work areas

One shot...

Looks like Hecate got the better end of that landing.

Nuka girl really shows off Hecate's sleek and fetching good looks.

One shot but, by Azura, what a shot!
