Today presented Gunny and me with some challenge. Up at Roosevelt Academy we suddenly faced no less than seven (7) Deathclaws at once! They were walking the road one after the other; looked quite funny
Fortunately we were down by the plaza so when they charged at us, after I had presented them with some complimentary lead, they were forced to almost a single file between the high wall and the building so at least we weren´t surrounded. Still, Gunny got destroyed and my health was quite downed.

Also, I had to resurrect three Outcasts and two Brotherhoods. The former killed by a Deathclaw and the latter ones by a Super Mutant Master at the Citadell. And I think in total I had to repair Gunny three times.

Anybody else got time off? Or kicking back while retired?

Cho Zenwahn is headed toward Vault 112, still following his father's footsteps. Really looking forward to this, because this is an area of the map he's never been yet. So many things to discover / places to explore.

Isn´t that the best; to still have areas to explore?

It sure is. Wish I still felt this way about Cyrodiil. Maybe I can get hypnotized, and have the hypnotist specifically erase any memories I have about TES4. That would be so grand.

If there are any avid fans (like myself) of the New Vegas Bounties mod, the final installment will be released tomorrow, thus ending the trilogy which started back in 2010. I'm thinking of starting a new character just to play through all NVB mods again.

Just finished a round in the north and am currently resting in my Megaton home. I have to prepare; Point Lookout is next!

Urk, I always dread going to Point Lookout until it is all over and I'm just going there to get my armor repaired by Haley.

I think it´s fun to make short trips there and it has become a tradition when I move back home from the woods

It gives me the creeps,

It is a creepy place I agree, but it´s fun to unleash the Vulcan minigun


When I first got there I barely dared to go past the carnival grounds

Everything there was killing me the first time I went; every enemy there felt overpowered compared to the vanilla Fallout game - and installing it loaded those tougher enemies into the whole game, replacing the regular ghouls and super mutants with reavers and overlords.

It took a while to get used to those new stronger enemies; but if they are there right from the start you kind of get used to them from the start and they aren't such a shock to the system.

That replacement in the Capital Wasteland must be when you´ve done the MQ, right? Cause I still have only regular ones there.

See, it's good to have Blondie back. I have to send my old PS3 to Slovenia so I can get all my old Oblivion characters back.

mALX: this is off-topic but I love when you say "urk". That's my favorite mALX word.

And now for some Cho Zenwahn

Just arrived at some sort of .. I don't know. Ruins, or something. There were some super mutants up ahead, and I started to take them with my rifle, but then somebody else shot them. Don't know who. But my Pipboy is indicating that there's some friendly folks up ahead. Well, it's good. I got the benefits of those super mutants. Each one had a rifle compatible to mine, and a box of ammo to go with it. Lucky, because my current rifle's about to fall apart. Break.

But anyway, I'm finally doing it. Looking for my father, that is. Getting a late start, but I think the old man is okay. He's tougher than he looks. Now that I know where he is, there shouldn't be much problem finding him, as long as my Pipboy keeps working.

unidentified female voice: Look, I don't know who you are, but you don't belong here. The super mutants have overrun our brothers at the galaxy news radio building, and we're headed there to back them up.

Wait. Damn [censored], let me explain.

unidentified female voice: You can tag along if you want, but keep your head down. Try not to do anything stupid.

What? You want me to tag along, while you do all the work? Suits me fine. Who the hell are you, anyways?

unidentified female voice: I'm sentinel lions of the lion's pride.

Her name is Sentinel Lions, Pipboy app.

unidentifed female voice, now identified as Sentinel Lions: What?

Ahh, um...

Sentinel Lions: I'm on your side, at least I hope so.

Sure. So Galaxy News Radio is somewhere nearby, eh?

Sentinel Lions: There aren't a lot of safe places in the ruins right now. But the Galaxy News Radio building is sort of our safe place in the storm. Unfortunately, the building's been hit pretty hard lately. We're backup. So if there are no more questions, we really need to move out.

Hey, don't let me stop you. Let's rock 'n' roll.

Hee hee hee! Just killed the KING of all super mutants! That sucker was huge! He slammed me with this hammer the size of a desk, and boy did I feel it! But then I figured I'm much smaller than the king, all I had to do was run into a doorway. [censored] couldn't get me then. Break.

And look at the arsenal on the king of super mutants. A pistol. Rounds of ammo, including energy cells. A sackful of bottle caps. Four grenades, a missile, and a missile launcher. Oh boy. I'd better hide all this stuff away somewhere safe. Looks like I won't be hurting for weaponry anytime soon. Break.

Now, time to find my father.

And this is where the Behemoth's head rolls over and says: "Cho, I am your father!"

And this is where the Behemoth's head rolls over and says: "Cho, I am your father!"

I laughed out loud when I read this. Brilliant!

Behemoths are fantastic fun. I remember my first battle with one away from GNR. I opened the cage and POW, the sucker jumped me from behind. Lucky Dogmeat came to the rescue and gave his life on my behalf. Unfortunately the little guy could not survive the 16th hit from the fire hydrant and finally succumbed, disappearing slowly to that big doghouse in the sky.

After 2 minutes of combat I managed to kill the Behemoth. And brought my fav guy back with the puppies perk.

I wonder how Beth will change things up this time. Creatures should not just be bullet sponges at high level, but have different methods of attack. It would be cool to see Albinos try to pick you up in their claws before they wack you with their stingers. Sure would make combat fun!

Ghouls popping out of stalls sounds immersive. Hello!

The picking up thing - I understand that´s featured in Fallout 4 as well.

I would like to see ghouls hidden behind bathroom stall doors, to pop out at you when you open the stall door or as you are passing the door for it to fly open and a ghoul lunge out. (scare the crap out of you).

This is what I worry about every time to go to the bathroom at work!

Just for info. What price are you folks hoping to pick up FO4 for?

The ghoul idea is great! Yeah, more immersion like that would be so neat.

Perhaps a boss manager ghoul (complete with rotted tie and suit) that is moaning your name and wanting to know why you are going to the bathroom instead of working. Lol. Or wanting to know why you are on the Chorrol forum instead of writing up that report?

Just for info. What price are you folks hoping to pick up FO4 for? In Australia I see that Big W has the game for $69 and the Prima guide for another $20. That is probably the best deal from a shop I can find. Online from overseas would of course be cheaper again.

Normal games sell for around $78 here.

Sorry for taking things off course here Mirocu. I do realize that this section is for the wandering efforts of our beloved characters.

But I cannot help but wonder what will happen come Nov 10. Will we be 'allowed' to post here?

Just finished a stealth raid on the island´s western parts. Found a few critters I hadn´t shot at yet, but I really have run out of things to do* so I´m currently back on the Dutchess about to head home.




*Well, I could follow up on a few quests but they don´t interest me much.

Oh, Point Lookout, huh?

Yup. It´s a new tradition from 2013 where I go there after I´ve moved back home from the cottage
