Oh!!

I remember doing that quest! I actually think it was the last one I did in FO3, at least before I got to Lookout.

Wow, is that the Washington Monument? Awesome!

@Grits - Jenna has a great hat, it reminds me of Ranger Hats from New Vegas. Are her sunglasses completely ordinary or they offer some protection?

@Renee - looks like Cho is taking photos with his PipBoy Camera. He even made a selfie from his left side.

The lies we tell to those we love.

I think that's the quote by Colin Moriarty from Fallout 3. I wrote one little lie on the previous page, stating that Blondie could save herself from Marko only if her skills were high enough or if she made some different decisions during the questline. Well, it's not true, she couldn't save herself, no matter her skills or decisions. When Marko eradicated residents of Frosthill, she got buried alive with no chance of escaping.

--

There was a huge party going on in the Frosthill Saloon, traitorous bounty hunters weren't just celebrating because their new boss Marko promised them girls, booze and lots of caps, but also because famous bounty hunter Blondie was finally six feet under. Marko himself left the party early, heading for the town graveyard to bury his foe Randall. 'At least Randall deserves a proper grave' he thought while leaving the saloon. As soon as he left, another bounty hunter sitting alone at the bar, made a final sip of scotch, then stood up and left the bar as well. He waited until Marko disappeared in the forest, then walked over to a nearby shed, went inside and returned a few seconds later, carrying something on his back. He knew where to go...but he hoped that he wasn't too late.

An unmarked grave in the middle of nowhere - Blondie's grave

Footsteps in the night

A lone visitor

Time to work

...

Blondie lives!

Her life was saved just in time by Thorne, a fellow bounty hunter, who unlike others, didn't betray her and Randall. This event is of course scripted but the above pics of Thorne standing at her grave with a shovel are my creation, you don't see this stuff in the game.

There will be blood

And she left for Frosthill...

"And I looked and behold a pale woman..."

"...and her name was Death..."

"...and Hell followed with Her."

"For she is Pale Death..."

"...come to bear traitors to perdition."

Having killed Marko's gang, Blondie headed for the town graveyard to face the Man in Black once again. But this time only one will come back alive.

WOO HOO !!!! This is Awesome !!! I am so glad she isn't dead !!!! That mod is amazing !!!! Great shots!

Yeah, I am glad she is back, thank goodness.

Lopov: Are those Bible quotes for your captions? Very poetic. Yes, Cho has found a selfie stick.

mALX: yes, Cho climbed the Monument and took a picture of the Capitol across the Mall. With those Xbox graphics + my digicam, it almost looks like D.C. on a smoggy day.

Yay for Blondie!!

Cool screenies, Lopov. Better than a movie!

Grits - Luvs Jenna's hat!

Renee - Great to see Cho climbing about.

Lopov - The B is back! And she's not a happy bounty hunter! I see now why you were so coy and mysterious in your last set of shots - we thought Blondie was a goner. So glad Thorne saved her in time. Hell hath no fury. . . .

Blondie is back from the grave and ready for revenge. Persephone can relate!

Persephone is like "why would anybody be so eager to get out of that plot? Looks rather cozy."

Thanks, Lopov! Jenna’s welding goggles provide plus 1 Perception when worn. She is pretty freaked out about radiation so she wears them all of the time along with a banana she picked up somewhere. I don’t think she knows what Perception is.

@Grits - a banana must be handy, I imagine.



@mALX - of course she's back. No one kills Blondie and lives to tell about it.

@Renee - those are Bible quotes indeed but I altered the text at some points.

@mirocu - my thoughts exactly, the New Vegas Bounties mods are actually better than a movie and have better storyline than the vanilla main quest.

@Acadian - yeah, without Thorne Blondie would indeed be a goner. And while she wasn't happy at all, she felt much better after the showdown in Frosthill.

@SubRosa - the difference between Persephone and Blondie is that Blondie got out on time.

--

And now comes the last set of screenshots from the primary questline of New Vegas Bounties Mod. Why did I say the primary questline? Because the second mod, namely NVB II, features really a lot of bounties and Blondie hasn't pursued all of them yet since they're not obligatory. The primary questline, however, concludes here and today...

...at the old graveyard of Frosthill...

...where Blondie met Marko once again.

Seeing her foe speechless was very contributing to Blondie's ego.

Blondie:"Indeed, you're not good at vengeance. Actually, you suck big time."

Blondie:"Blah, blah, blah, what a bore. Got anything else to say?"

Blondie:"So am I."

And so it began...

Blondie vs Marko...

Energy Gun vs Revolver...

They kept exchanging bullets and bolts, respectively...

Straight through Marko

Straight in Marko

The gunshot went on for some time, each of them administering several stimpaks to stay in shape. However, when Blondie's PipBoy "told" her that Marko is severely wounded, she pulled out Sweet Revenge, a unique revolver given to her by her late boss Randall as a tool to kill Marko. Although Blondie didn't have a lot of practice with standard firearms, she aimed...

...shot...

...and sent Marko to Devil's company.

From another perspective...

It was hard to believe that it's finally over...

Blondie placed some .44 ammo on Randall's grave and bid farewell to her late boss...

Time to leave...

...to go home...

Blondie leaving...

Blondie still leaving...

Blondie has left.

_____________________________________________________________________________

*spits tea*

Ha! I missed that! A banana would be a most welcome find at this point!

What an amazing showdown! And nice touch using Randall's gun for the killing shot! This has been a great story and mod, I am dying to play this mod now!

Wow, that is some graveyard! It looks like the one from the ending of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly!

Marko got marked for sure. That Straight In one insured he'd never have kids, even if he does survive!

SubRosa's right - that is some graveyard indeed! But how appropriate for this final showdown. Congrats to Blondie. Enjoy that well earned ciggie during the long walk home.

Awesome showdown, Lopov! That was epic!!


Now why do I recognize that Remington New Model Army 1858?


Oh, yeah...

Got some Fallout 4 stuff. I'll keep away from spoilers just to be safe.

It's a wasteland out there...

...and out here too.

It even comes with instructions.

Putting them into practice.

What's a pretty girl like you doing in a place like this?

This thread has been designated as okay for spoilers; so please post what you want, we are all dying to see more!

One thing I am loving in FO4 is the skill books adding perks instead of just skill points - love that!

D'aaw, she is cute - did you return her eggs to her nest?

"Putting them into practice" is my favorite shot here, what a spectacular screen that is! The graphics look amazing.

Yay! More references!!


Are two heads really necessary to display mutancy..?

Hazmick, great shots! That mechanical suit looks pretty cool, especially with all the info displays. Nice sniper shot! The deathclaw shot is perfectly captioned!

@hazmick - love the shot next to the flag, the whole area looks heavily irradiated. Lol @ drawings of the Wasteland Survival Guide. What's the creature in the last pic? It looks like a deathclaw but a bit different.

--

@mALX - it was for the 1st time that Blondie fired a non-energy weapon. Her Guns skill is low but Sweet Revenge deals a lot of damage so Marko went down quickly.

@SubRosa - the mod author said that the graveyard is inspired by the one from the movie you mentioned. Marko was inspired by Loco, the main antagonist of the Great Silence movie, and some events like bounty hunters killing entire town are from the same movie.

@Acadian - thanks! She'll definitely need at least a carton of cigarettes on the way back to Mojave.

@mirocu - yeah, it was quite a showdown. Blondie's greatest advantage was that her weapon reloaded on its own while Marko had to reload his manually.

One month later in New Vegas...

"Uh oh. Whenever that bounty hunter is in town, someone's about to get killed."

"Ermm...you sure you have business at the Embassy, miss? ... ? Ermm..." *she didn't even stop and listen to me! I'm an NCR soldier, godammit!*

"Hola, fancy pants. Remember me?"

"Did you just pee your fancy pants?"

Brookshire is an NCR agent and a side character in the NVB III mod, responsible for betraying Frost Hill and selling Blondie to Marko. He portrayed his deeds differently to the NCR authorities and was even promoted for his noble actions because he made it look like that Blondie was the one responsible for killing Frost Hill and Marko was a do-gooder who killed her.

However...

"Here goes your promotion, [ultra censored]!"

And now...now it's truly over.

Now it's time for happier things...

...like meeting with Guts, that was patiently waiting for Blondie while she was away.

Uh oh, Blondie’s back in town! Yup Fancy Pants is history now. Aww, beautiful shots of her all done with that mess and her reunion with Guts.

Aw, Happier Things is adorable.

Nice to see Blondie get a definite closure on the subject

"Uh Oh" = Gaaaah! It's Joe! I recognize the shirt! I hope that isn't who she plans to kill!

"Eerm" = The military base! Urk! Not...Acadian! NOOOOOOO!!!!!


Wait, did the NCR attack her for killing Brookshire? (I mean, if they promoted Brookshire, they must have beieved his story; so how did she convince them it was a lie? )

This story is awesome, this guy needs to be making official quests!


The happiness on Guts's face in that fina screen is so "D'aaaaaaaw!!!"

@Acadian - Blondie promised Guts that since now they'll never become separated again.

@Grits - thank you!

@mirocu - yeah, with the corrupt NCR Agent dead, Blondie officially finished one important chapter of her life.

@mALX - it's not Joe but the gay has indeed the same outfit. The NCR soldiers didn't attack her for killing Brookshire but her reputation dropped to Mixed. Like she cares.

..

And now to the Capital Wasteland...

Target --> BoS soldier with a missile launcher

Dead on the spot

Deeno's not satisfied

It took five tries to shoot the soldier and Deeno hates to miss. But at least he killed him with the first bullet which hit him. Or her.

Deeno's back! Oh my. . . I hope he doesn't run into Blondie. Happily he seems to be on the other coast. Nice sniper rifle he's got and it seems like he's pretty scarily good with it!

Deeno is sniping the BoS? Why? All he has to do is let them fight those three super mutants; they'll be dead soon enough, lol.

@Acadian - I hope he doesn't run into Blondie either. Or that Blondie doesn't run into him. The showdown would probably last for a very long time.

@mALX - he likes killing from far away to prove himself that he's good at sniping. He's not picky about targets, be it a raider, a random adventurer, a BoS Paladin,... he doesn't have anything particular against the BoS but seeing his bullets penetrating their thick armor is considered an achievement for Snake Eyes.

That is one hell of a shot across the Potomac. No wonder it took Deeno five shots. Epic!

And it looks like a sniper competition is going on here. BOS is getting taken down in FO3 and Radstags in FO4. Hard to say which of the two enemies is more annoying. They are both full of their own importance.

Yeah, taking shots over long distances becomes addicting quickly. I looked up the Radstags on the Google, LoL about comparing them to BoS soldiers.

--

McGraw, Deeno and Sibley

US Army in action

"Watch the skies, traveler."

No mercy for commies

In Crimson Dragoon Armor

I thought Radstags were NCR Rangers?

Deeno is lending a hand to Uncle Sam! I bet plenty of digital commie skulls were perforated. Did Deeno pick up the gauss rifle?

The chinese stealth armor definitely suits him, as do the corpses left in his wake!

First I was gonna ask what this was about, then I understood it was the simulation..

When you told me to watch the skies, I wasn't sure whether to expect radcliffracers or raddragrons.

More mayhem, courtesy of Deeno!

You should see how annoying the Radstags are in FO4. When you see them you think, 'wow they look cute, in some sort of demented way', but then out of nowhere they decide to charge or run past you. Mostly it is the follower you are with that gives you some indication that something is up. Then it is pull out the weaponry and let rip.

**

Loved the pics!

'Watch the skies' is so well framed. I have always watched those flyers but never seen a pic like that!

I like Deeno's style. He grabs the Dragoon but leaves the mini gun on the deck behind him. That gives an indication into his motives. The Gauss (as Rosa says) would be perfect for the quiet range attack.

This is my favorite of the DLC as far as fun goes, thought Broken Steel is Awesome too. But the instant I saw the first screen with Deeno in an interior cell with any Outcast; I knew right away he was at Bailey's Crossing, lol.

You know, I've never looked up in the sky to see that simulation before? How did I miss it?

Ah, Deeno will be one hard to spot assassin now! I see he is wearing the Stealth armor!

And for once, Deeno had a reason to kill when he did, lol. I always leave that place a graveyard too; and thank goodness they don't have the Outcasts out in the rest of the world attack you for that the rest of the game, lol.

Great shots, now you have got Misa itching to go do this DLC right away, lol.







I think the RadStags are two headed deer in FO4. They act like they are running from you and not an enemy, but come up as red dots on your compass marking. I've never seen one attack a player in the vids, but there has to be a reason for that, lol.

Radstags act the same way as Skyrim's deer and elk. They'll run away as soon as they see anything dangerous. If you get too close to one they'll attack you.

They usually travel in herds, with the antler-less Radstag Does being lead by the stags.

Urgh, I never saw one up close before. That looks like conjoined twin myslexia! Bleah...gaaaaaah.

I still prefer to think of Radstags as something more like this!

What in the Oblivion was that I just clicked on???????????

Better still, do not answer that.

Radstags also come in legendary versions as well. I fought one that required a ton of jet and psycho to defeat. It was the most embarrassing death I have had in a Fallout game. I have heard of people falling to a mudcrab in ES, but the pompous and self important mutant wildlife was a new low for me.

Be glad I didn't post the vid on Conjoined Twin Myslexia, (because I was tempted to, lol).


Bold:

I’ll be in my bunk. I was going to say that in FO4 Radstag meat is beneficial, but this link illustrates the point.

Lopov, that Crimson Dragoon armor looks great on Deeno. I love how you composed Watch the Skies.

For his evil deeds Deeno wasn't punished by the Regulators, bounty hunters or other do-gooders of the Capital Wasteland but by mirelurks.

Already crippled from the battle with Fire Ants in Greyditch, Deeno ran into a deathtrap just outside the Anchorage Memorial when three mirelurk hunters emerged from the water and attacked the young merc.

When they managed to break his arm and he ran out of stimpaks, Deeno knew that it's over but nonetheless decided to fight until the last moment. He managed to kill two mirelurks but the third one finished him off.


Mirelurks attack!

Hunters and Hunted

Against all odds

The prey has fallen

Hit in the chest

The end



Deeno was found a few hours later by raiders from the nearby outpost behind Dukov's Place. They dragged his corpse back to the outpost where they stripped him of all his belongings. They couldn't believe their luck - lots of caps, a scoped .44 magnum, almost pristine 10mm Pistol, a unique sniper rifle, not to mention the high-tech stealth armor. Once they shared the stuff, they did what they always did with corpses - first they cut his head off, then hanged him high on a hook above their outpost as a warning to anyone passing by.



--

I played Deeno as Dead-Is-Dead so this time I'm not fooling around, he really is dead.

D.R.I.P you murdering bastard.


The "D" standing for Don´t

Felled by three RadMudCrabs! I'll miss Deeno's neat eyes, but the rest of the Wasteland probably breathes a sigh of relief.

Wow, Snake-Eyes has fallen at last. As Acadian said, I am sure the Capital Wasteland is sleeping easier tonight!

GAAAAAAH! He was wearing the Chinese Stealth Armor, why didn't he just duck down into sneak and creep away unnoticed by those mirelurks? Gaaaaaaah!

His leg was crippled from before the battle, he couldn't sneak (mod-added). Even if he did, it wouldn't do him much good, once mirelurks spotted him, they'd still know where he is, even if he crouched down.

When I saw "The prey has fallen" - I knew; could almost hear the death music paying in the background.


R.I.P. Deeno


*mALX bows head and reflects on Deeno's short existence and how his passing will effect poor Reilly, the only love of his life...*
