Fun shots. The bound bow really does suit Persephone. Between darkness and light? Hmm, we know a Daedric Princess who owns that time as the Mistress of Twilight.

Acadian: I moved away from the bound bow and went back to her absorb health. It feels a bit more natural. With the whole sucking the life out of people and all.

Azura's one of the only Daedric Princes whose quests Persephone would ever do. But even still, she would never use or even keep Azura's Star. It just isn't her style. She just leaves it on Azura's altar.


Where energy drinks come from

Old blue eyes is back

Walking with echoes

This one's not even dead

Don't mind the dead girl

In the shadows

Walk this way

I love the bound bow but can't blame Persephone for favoring suck life absorb health.

Yay, Darryl's back!

Gosh, it's been a long time for me but is that Avanchnzel where Persephone is traipsing with ghosts?

Acadian: It is never the same without Darryl.

Those orange ghosts are indeed from Avanchnzel. I started Persephone in The Rift, so it was one of the earlier dungeons they cleared.



The last cut is the deepest

Lexicon

Of gourds and dead girls

Down to business

Red...

...Dead

More wonderful shots. I especially love 'Down to business'. Great detail and reminds me that I surely wouldn't want to piss off Persephone!

Acadian: Persephone is the best there is at what she does, and what she does... well, you know.


Vampire control

Lopov'ed

Got my eye on you

Pals

Under the hood

"Papa says I'm too friendly with strangers, but you seem all right."

A great opening action shot. Do those mysterious blue eyes belong to . . . yup, I see in the next pic that is indeed Persephone's pal Darryl. Wow, that little girl's judgment seems way off the mark. . . or maybe she is much more astute than she seems.

Acadian: That is old blue eyes alright!

I think Dorothe is maybe not the best judge of character!


Twilight

Red sky

Persephone has moved her lair to Bleak Falls Barrow

Relaxing in her new digs

Shadows

Twilight and Shadows are neat face studies of Persephone.

Yup, Skyrim has some spectacular nights.

Oh, BFB seems like a good set of digs for Persephone.

Relaxing - heh, that looks like Darryl relaxing on his stone bed in the foreground, with his gear all neatly arrayed around him.

Acadian: I always like getting close ups of Persephone, to show off her eyes.

Bleak Falls has plenty of old friends for Persephone to hang out with. You are never alone in a tomb...


She's back (The woman behind the mask)

Another rainy night

Eat the rich

I got my eyes on you

Big iron

In the dark

Welcome back to Loviatar (gulp).

Her eyes are really cool!

Wow, Robbie's got some thighs on him.

Acadian: I love those red eyes. It is the best part of playing Loviatar. Especially given that other aspects of her personality are less than... savory.

Robbie spent the last two centuries eating McDonalds!

Those were the actual song titles (except I changed the gender on the first). They are:

Alice Cooper - He's Back (The Man Behind The Mask)

Queensryche - Another Rainy Night

Eat The Rich is an Aerosmith song and a Motorhead song

I Got My Eyes On You is a Frampton song and a George Thorogood song and a Drake song (and others)

Marty Robbins did Big Iron, made infamous by Fallout New Vegas

Billy Squier did In The Dark, so did a bunch of other people.


Relaxing

Cooking the neighbors

Relaxing at the spa

Lopov (I would use this as a desktop, but it is too creepy)

Happy landings

Just a few days in, and 84 corpses eaten

Relaxing – Wow, Lovie beats the Nuka Girl as a pinup!

How sweet. Inviting the neighbors over to dinner.

Toxic spa!

Lopov – Yikes!

Well you know what they say about any landing you can walk away from. . . .

Look at that corpse eaten count! How does she maintain her girlish figure?

Acadian: Loviatar is still in pretty good shape for a 200 year old. Her secret is the diet.

I think the neighbors were more savory than sweet...

Lovie does a lot of cardio to keep in shape. And Mutant Yoga...



I decided to go back to playing another character, who is a bit more appealing

Sunset Medusa

That is one big roomba

What a lovely day

Medusa is packing a Browning Hi-Power for pests

And an Mk14 for the bigger critters

Welcome back to Medusa! Did you say appealing or just peeling?

Ahah, so is a Roomba a Robbie with fat legs and gunz?

Oh, and is Medusa related to Officer Barlowe?

Acadian: I think Medusa is both appealing and peeling! She even has a nose! I am not sure why, the mod is supposed to remove that, like with other ghouls.

This roomba kills more than just dirt!

They might be related! I never really did develop her backstory much. She might be a pre-war ghoul.


Serious Medusa

Springing into action

Face to face

What a lovely day

'Merica!

"A ghoul, a super-mutant, and a deathclaw walk into a bar..."

Springing into action is a fabulous action shot! Love the 'What a lovely day' on Medusa's chest.

Acadian: The action pic was just a nice bit of timing.

The Lovely Day tag really fits Medusa well. I suspect that she and sarcasm are old friends...




Meeting the neighbors

Block party

Serve up a few more

Take a load off

In the doghouse

Unstoppable

Ahh, a quiet day in the life of Medusa. Does she have that dog as a companion? Medusa's eyes are amazing!

Acadian: Medusa does have a dog, sort of. He does not follow her like a regular companion. Instead she sent it 'home' to where she lives. So that way he doesn't get in the way, or get killed.

I loved those glowing orange eyes. They would make great vampire eyes too.




Someone asked for sugar?

Feeling ghouliffic

Do you feel lucky?

Last sight

Old Glory

Time to say hello

The last thing that went through his mind... was a .308 Winchester

Sugar bombs - they not just for breakfast anymore!

Medusa of the Faint Smile?

Sure don't want to be on the receiving end of her rifle!

Acadian: Sugar Bombs shows that there is at least some truth in advertising.

Now if only Medusa could summon Yao Guai...

I would say Medusa is the best there is at what she does, but that line belongs to Wolverine Hecate.


Gojira!

Take aim

Fire

One shot

Survivor

She sells sea shells by the sea shore

Gojira? Is that a mutant dragonclaw?

Ready aim fire and Medusa’s that last ghoul standing!

A Lopov shot!

Acadian: Dragonclaw is pretty close to a Deathclaw.

Medusa wouldn't shoot Lopov!



I decided to dust off Victoria's game

Everything looks so nice and normal on the surface

But sooner or later it all comes crashing down

What's a ghoul?

The Patriot

Even faint smiles are hard to come by these days

Welcome back to Victoria!

I had forgotten that she is quite a looker – especially after the dermatologically-challenged Medusa.

That last shot of her is really nice – she looks very pensive and reflects she is probably pondering the magnitude of her new upside-down world.

Acadian: Victoria is a seal! But she's not worried about White Sharks.

In this game the skeevers can actually dig underground. They have a habit of popping up behind you. It can make fighting them frustrating, but also keeps it interesting.


Renee: At least you won't have to worry about tripping over guacamole dog in the dark!



Victoria of the Faint Smile

Fat Man

Little Boy

Nuka Time

Lopov

Firefight

Aww, what a nice first shot. The Faint Smile pose is as signature SubRosa as the trademarked famous Lopov shot is Lopov. Then it’s off to work delivering fat boys. Gee, does Victoria ever get concerned about the long term residual effects of tactical nuke use on Boston’s delicate ecosystem?

Acadian: I don't think Victoria cares much about nuking Boston. What's one more fat man after all this time?


Woman from Atlantis

Old Glory

Faint Smile

Victoria's new home

Blowing stuff up

Bad day to be a feral

Aww, saluting a very old and worn glory.

Wow, Faint Smile is beautiful!

Woot what a great little tug boat home! I gather that is your mod.

Blowing stuff up with her Big Gurl Gun!

Acadian: That is indeed Victoria's new modded tugboat - The USS Bunker Hill. It is moored near Bunker Hill, hence the name. I spruced it up since then, but have not gotten to the pics yet.


No bears left behind

That mutant has a mini-nuke in his right hand

Not anymore

Reloading

Focused

Say hello...

...to my little friend

Aww, nice that Victoria volunteers her time working for Bear Rescue.

Mini-nuke. Interesting proposition. Do I assume that the effective casualty radius is considerably larger than its range? That would make the weapon’s use restricted to the suicidally brave or astonishly dumb, yes?

Yup, there’s another one of those hero-eating suits of armor!

Wonderful action shot of that round in flight.

Acadian: If you are firing it from a Fat Man you can get the mini-nuke far enough way to go unscathed by its blast. If you are just carrying it in your hand... Well, no one every accused Super Mutants of being smart.


Art is weird

Old Ironsides

Victoria has rejoined the Navy, the Continental Navy that is

Anchors aweigh

Hooper didn't make it...

I agree with Victioria that most art is, indeed, weird. So it’s back in the Navy . . . as a SEAL?

Acadian: Victoria prefers her art more fartsy, less eyeballs and blood. Why can't they just paint a picture of a bowl of fruit?

I guess she is back in the Navy, as a Marine? Now that is ironic isn't it!



Victoria's new home is the USS Bunker Hill

The boat by moonlight, with its namesake in the background

The main deck, looking forward

The main deck, looking to the stern

Scanning for Romulans in the second floor

The 'Hill in daylight

Victoria is ready for General Howe

Head on

Another fine SubRosa mod as Victoria showcases her new tugboat home for us. A beautiful shot by moonlight; where is the other moon by the way. . . oh. . . nvm.

Love the Bad Wolf tee shirt; probably better than one that says Nice Puppies.

Heh, scanning for Romulans or just checking the laundry?

Acadian: I am guessing you are not a Dr. Who fan. Bad Wolf is from the first season of the show's reboot. It was cool, because the phrase kept showing up the entire season. Then at the end it was finally revealed what it meant.




The USS Constitution sets sail

Rocketing forward

Liftoff

They are the Continental Fleet's first Naval Aviators

Uh oh!

Run aground

Speechless

Yep, you’re right; dunno about Dr Who.

So the Connie underwent conversion to ‘aircraft carrier’. Hmm, looks like she still maneuvers like a battleship.

Acadian: Unfortunately, the Constitution is both the aircraft and the carrier, and she really was never envisioned for either role...



Intense game

Swimming

Old North Church

Victoria is trying to return to the Constitution

Not this way

Not this way either

Looks like it's directly above

Maybe through this bus and up that elevator?

Avast!

Her new port

Victoria has been promoted to Leftenant

Aye Aye Captain!

Heh, looks like Teddy outlasted Skellie in that checkers game.

Swimming – you can put a SEAL on a boat but you just can’t keep her outta the water.

Yay, Victoria finally made it back to the Connie – in her new skyport.

Acadian: Trying to find the Constitution in her new port was not easy! I kept going everywhere but the ship itself!

I love the teddy bears in this game. It is too bad Skyrim does not have an equivalent.




Old World Blues

Sittin' on the dock of the bay

Here's Johnny!

A mirelurk's last sight

Super Mutant Suicider

Life's a beach

What a neat face study ‘Old World Blues’ is.

Pondering life on the dock of the bay.

Hmm, sharing the beach with dead fish and dead tanks.

Acadian: Fallout 4 has some of the best facial expressions in a Bethesda game so far. It really helps make the characters feel alive.

That is one of the best spots on the beach!


In The Light

Swan Song (it does remind me of the Led Zeppelin Angel logo)

No Quarter

Stairway to Heaven

The Rain Song

The Ocean

Babe I'm Gonna Leave You

More nice shots of Victoria.

No quarter is a neat action shot of that little rocket in flight.

Under water visibility is really good – is that vanilla?

Heh, love the sideways glance Victoria’s giving to Red in that last shot.

Acadian: The normal underwater visibility is worse than Skyrim's. It is so murky you cannot see a thing. Like the other Beth games, I clear it up with some .ini tweaks.

I don't think Victoria knew just what to make of Red.


He's dead tired

I wonder what this siren calls?

Deathclaws!

Raider brought a baseball bat to a Deathclaw fight

Casey strikes out

Deathclaw #2 greets the Raiders

Reloading

Sea life

Life's a beach

Catwoman

Can’t get your first pic to come up on Imgur – others are fine.

Looks like Team Deathclaw beat Team Rader there.

Love the action shot in ‘Reloading’ – is that Robbie heroically coming through the fire to help?

Heh, a SEAL and her water.

Acadian: Team Deathclaw was a lot of fun to watch in action. When they were finished Victoria turned on a stealth boy to become invisible, and sneaked away quietly without the claws being the wiser.

Robbie was indeed Victoria's sidekick for clearing out that building. Those robots are one of the funnest parts of the fallout games.


She's back!

Close

Double Lopov

Bloody mess

Beauty and the beast

Hecate discovered a fallout shelter at 111 Cloverfield Lane

Down into the bowels of the earth she goes

The first room is a workshop

Making upgrades

Then there is a kitchen

All the comforts of home

Beyond that is the living room

Reverse view of the living room - the bedroom is that door behind Hecate

Cat fish and sugar bombs

Dinner is on the table

The bedroom is comfy

Hecate brought her own bears

Finally there is a storeroom

And a mostly empty room beyond

Welcome back to Hecate!

Nice digs she found! Dinner on the table = steak, taters, and a Sweetroll!

Aww, the bears. . . of course.

Acadian: No one had better steal her sweetrolls!

In some ways that bomb shelter is nicer than my apartment!



Two heads are better than one

Big Iron

Not so big iron

'Merica!

Close up

Bad day to be a Raider

Is that a lady moose with the two heads?

Big Iron – I was thinking that Robbie is getting pretty buff. Then the next shot shows happy little Robbie.

‘Merica is such a cool shot!

Hecate looks studiously serious in Close Up.

And a trail of raiders in her wake.

Acadian: That is a Radstag with the two heads. So close to a moose, just skinnier.

That 'Merica place in the museum is a great place for pictures.


25 mph

Hecate goes naval

Gojira!
