ahh, I get it now. He was already hurt from fire ants. I was wondering why he couldn't outrun mirelurks, they are quite slow.

I love the epilogue there, with the raiders finding his stuff and not believing their luck! Yeah, I guess they were pretty stoked for some rare gear + lots of caps.

Here comest the first batch of screenshots from my new character in the Capital Wasteland, introduced in the Wasteland Wanderings thread.

In pain (under the bridge at Drowned Devil's Crossing)

Under the killing Moon

Meet Tina Keyes, an escaped slave

The Girl...

...and the Beast

Furious but crippled

"Now you die!"

Dead Deathclaw

Wow, I can barely see Tina in that first pic! Where is Drowned Devil Crossing? Is that from a mod?

A hunting rifle against a Deathclaw! Even with a wounded Deathclaw, that is a scary prospect!

Welcome to Tina! A showdown with a deathclaw is not the best welcome to the badlands I guess.

Drowned Devil Crossing is in the NW section of the map; on the grid it is something like 1:11. It is due south of the Satcom Array 03; past the Mason Dixon Salvage and due north of the Silver Lining Drive In.


(not a mod). Misa was just there yesterday,






Ooh, Tina is Beautiful!


I have to agree with SubRosa; a hunting rifle is most def scary against a Deathclaw! And from "Furious but crippled," - looks like that Deathclaw already killed some poor Wastelander! Urk!

Great shots!

Great shots of the Deathclaw! They're my absolute favourite wasteland creature.

Tina´s escape = out of the ashes and into the frying pan!


Hope she´ll turn out better than her predecessor...

Thanks Scoundrel, that's a fun set of pics! *gun_emoticon*

Thanks all!

-----

Everyone got what was coming to them:

-raiders in a valley behind the WKML Broadcast Station

-hostile sniper called the Drifter that tried to practice shooting on Tina's head

-Super Mutants from the Mason Dixon Salvage

-and last but not the least ---> a bloatfly. Since Tina has to save on ammo, she killed it with her bare fists. The day ended quite well - she found a set of pre-war combat armor in an abandoned tent which fortunately wasn't as badly damaged as the one worn by the Drifter.

Tina is Bloatfly boxing! Maybe you should have named her Holly Holm?

Tina has some great swag! I love the combat armor in FO3, it is one of my favorite outfits.

More great shots, Lopov! I love the last shot of Tina in the pre-war armor. She looks ready for some serious adventuring!

Spooky Radstag

Spooky river

Brahmin - the cutest of critters.

Zao, captain of a Chinese nuclear submarine that's been stuck in Boston harbour for the last 200 years.

Apologies if any of the links don't work - my internet has been a bit on and off for the last few days. Had a great shot of Zao from a conversation cutscene but it won't let me upload it.

Last time I checked, animals - even two-headed ones - are not supposed to have glowing green spots. That is definitely creepy.

It is sad that the Brahmin really are the cutest creatures in the Fallout universe!

Nice shots, hazmick. Spooky is right!

Captain Zao has the same hat as my Hobo.

Lopov, I'm having trouble getting these screens to open up. Is it just my PC having issues?







I'll bet that spooky atmosphere had your gun out and ready! Aw, Zao! Was he mad that you killed his whole crew? I guess not, lol. I wonder if that one is a play on the "Hunt For Red October" ... or maybe for the "Pink November?" Bwaahaa!

Great shots!







Now THIS shot I can see! Don't know why the others aren't opening up. Great looking character - and most def love the hat! It would look good on a female character too!

Thanks, I think he looks interesting too. I can't play a character if I'm not satisfied with the looks.

It could be because I relocated Tina's pics to another folder that's why you can't see them. They should appear on its own after some time when the page auto-refreshes.

Okay, I'll keep checking back on Tina's pictures. Oh, I'm the same way. If I don't like the look of a character, I can't enjoy playing with them

High camping

Meeting the local fauna

Scenic view

This gotta be a mod, right? I can´t have missed that

High camping is such a nice spot to camp – way up high and safe like being in the treetops of Valenwood.

Meeting the local fauna – Eeep, that looks like the hulk. . . or perhaps mALX after she gets angry and rips off her shirt.

Scenic view – Oh, what a great perch for a sniper!

I think that is at Little Lamplight.

Yeah, but I don´t remember being able to climb those towers.

Maybe you need to toggle clipping?

Managed to salvage some stuff after the Xbox had a little hiccup.

Alice the Barbarian

Pack Brahmin

Bar Brahmin...Barmin?

Who let the cow in? Who? Who? Who? Who?



You know, the pregnant version of the thing you sometimes move as

Hazmick, Alice looks great and well able to survive the badlands. The graphics/realism in that pack brahmin shot are stunning!

Alice has Ragnar Lothbrok's hair!

Wow, the detail on the pack brahmin looks amazing. That is a lot of stuff! I don't think the folks at the bar will appreciate the brahmin nuggets it leaves behind though! (unless they have methane-powered generators... )

@mirocu - as mALX says, getting Hobo on the top was achieved with the tcl command.

@Acadian - thanks! From you I was almost expecting a comment regarding treetops of Valenwood.




@hazmick - Alice the barbarian looks phenomenal, her hairstyle matches the outfit too.

The other side of courage

The scared man in question is Sam Warrick, a hostile sniper from a unique random encounter. First you witness him killing a hapless wastelander, then he turns on you. Well, Hobo made sure that Sam won't kill again.

Raider initiation

Hobo witnessed a brutal raider initiation ritual but since they didn't pay any attention to him, he left them alone as well. At least he saved some bullets.

Safety measures I

Hobo doesn't like to be disturbed while sleeping so he puts a mine next to an explosive fire extinguisher, in case anyone wanted to surprise him.

Safety measures II

To hide the mine even more, he puts an overturned barrel on the top.

High above the wastes

This is the last pic of vanilla skies, later I switched to Enhanced Skies Mod.

The fire extinguisher will put out the fires that the mine might create!

Great shots of Hobo and his Hat. Using a mine as an assistant night sentry is a great idea!

"All for Mother Russia!"

What, this isn´t the Caption thread? Oops


Awesome view in the last pic

Lopov - I'm still not able to see that one group of screens, I have tried several times since I posted that.


I love this set; but wait ... did you set up the chair/gun/etc. on top of that lookout? If they are vanilla, I'm going to Little Lamplight and do some Lookout looting!







WOO HOO Alice !!!!! WOOOOOOOT !!!!!

Holy Cow, that is most def a packed brahmin!

BWAAAHAA!!! I see someone slipping in brahmin dung before the night is over, lol.


Great shots !!!








Oh, he is Hobo! Okay, I did see his face but didn't attach the name to it! Man, he is overrun with random encounters, must be up in the NW corner of the map!

Yep, he is, because he's in a Satcom Array. Holy Cow, how does he dare stand up there? One missed step and "SPLAT!"

Great shots, Lopov!

I know right? Alice the Barbarian is stunning too.

Lopov: What's up with the Raider Initiation? That must be mod-added? Never seen that on my Xbox.

No, that is a random encounter. I have it inside the Temple of the One after the slaves evacuate it almost every game; but I've come across it in the Wasteland too.

@SubRosa - I kinda wish someone would actually try to surprise our characters while they sleep, like some random raider attacks. Then setting such traps would actually have another point instead of roleplaying. Maybe I'll use the "placeatme" command at times, spawning some raiders.

@Acadian - thanks, I love his hat too. Especially because it doesn't fit with the rest of his outfit at all but it fits with his state of mind.

@mirocu - thanks. His hat is actually Chinese. It belongs to General Jingwei from the Operation Anchorage DLC but it's unobtainable without console commands.

@mALX - thanks. The chair atop the wooden tower is vanilla and you can sit on it and enjoy the view. You correctly figured out his location.

@Renee - as mALX explained, the raider initiation is pure vanilla and it's repeatable, you don't need a mod for this encounter, just travel the wastes and you'll eventually stumble upon it. Problem solved.

"Who let da dogz out?"

This is a nice example of the Animal Friend perk in action. As soon as Hobo approached raiders and their guard dogs, animals turned on their former masters.

"Shouldn't have killed my pal!"

Boomlurking!

Special delivery

Eeep! The target for that special delivery bullet looks like a cross between a mudcrab and the Predator!

I like that explosion shot. Nice to see Mr Hobo taking appropriate measures to deal with Mirelurks.

Aww, that poor mirelurk. Well, we can be sure that none of those mirelurks were ever able to claim the 5,000 bottlecap bounty on Deeno's head.

Date night, with cute matching outfits!

Interplanetary diplomacy.

That is Fallout, got to have your body armor for date night!

The only good alien is a dead one!

Nice armors on Alice and her friend! And complementary weapons as well. All set for a nice date in the badlands.

ET Phone Home!

I am back to Fallout 3 with my mad scientist/lich Loviatar.

Loviatar enslaves a new minion

On the prowl

Loviatar is packing a Magneto Laser Pistol, thanks to the Waatz Weapons Mod

Thanks to the EVE mod, it leaves the coolest ash piles

Loviatar enjoys a midnight snack

She'll save this one for later

I created a Mad Scientist Lair for her north of Springvale

Tinkering at the workbench

Blogging on MadScience.com

Leaning back on the databanks

This experiment didn't work out too well...

Taking notes

A Borg with a ponytail! I love her look! Um, I guess she's not a vegetarian then?

Very neat lair you've got set up for Lovie!

I know where Loviatar is!


"On the prowl" - they look like they are moving in sync!


Ooh, she has nice hair! But more than the gun, I'm in love with this armor! The white gauntlet and black armor with the maroon trim and awesome belt - that armor is what I want to know what mod it is!!!! Awesome!


Very nice looking ash pile! Is she a ghoul? You said Lich, can you go into more detail? What is her back story?


Okay, Loviatar has got a bit of cannibalism going on,


Really glad they didn't show anything gross on her eating that, WHEW!!!


Oh, cool lair !!!


Oh, it is a good sized place! In this screen, Loviatar looks more like a half android half human whose face was damaged in the blast - kind of like how Yul Brynner's face did in West World!


Oh, her hair is great!!!! And that armor is spectacular!!! Do I have that armor? Is it in your set of items you gave me? I haven't seen it, but I'll look back through!!!


You did a great job on this lair and keeping a theme going with the decor! Oh, I love those navy wall cots, they fit in the smallest place and don't take up much space at all.


Urk, there goes my spaghetti dinner!


Oooh, nice pose! I really have to write down some of those and test them out! = I did, but can't find the sheet. So I have to do it again.


Great shots!!! And now that you are back in the Wasteland, I might come back too, spend some time with Misa for a little while. I left her hanging somewhere in the Wasteland, but I can't remember where, lol.

Oooh she looks good. Suitably dark and dangerous I love that mask she's wearing, very scientist-y.

Aw, the dog was a friend? Yeah, since I've started getting the "Animal Friends" perk, it is really hard to see anyone killing them without feeling the need to defend them - but then you run into friendly Wastelanders killing them, and can't kill the Wastelanders without it being murder. (or like those 6 vicious dogs that attack the slaves when they arrive at the Lincoln monument). I had to force myself to stay out of some fights, but on those slaves - had to save them from the dogs for the quest's sake.

And yes, I really love that about the Animal Friends perk where Misa can sneak into a place unseen and have the animals suddenly start attacking their owners, lol.

All of these Mirelurk screens had me laughing - especially the captions! Got to love that last one, with the bullet poised to strike !!!

Great shots! I'm sorry it took so long to get here, been really busy!







D'aaaw, I like the Matching Outfits screen!

WOO HOO, is that the Alien Blaster?


I almost forgot about FO4, no shots have been posted in a while !!! Great shots!

It's from a mod called Armored Robes. It adds a set of black robes and a a set of red and black robes.

Downloaded! Thank you for the link!

@Acadian - mirelurks are indeed mutated crabs and very dangerous. Fortunately they don't exist in such size in Cyrodiil.

@hazmick - Hobo makes sure that mirelurks don't get too close to him. He hurts them with mines or grenades from afar and then finishes them off with his rifle, usually by crouching down and aiming for their face. Nice shots, characters seem really slim in FO4. Uh oh, aliens are back. Hopefully they didn't come to abduct us again.

@Renee - Deeno was killed by more "advanced" mirelurks, namely mirelurk hunters. They don't exist in Hobo's game yet because he hasn't reached mid levels.

@mALX - I love the Animal Friend perk, especially when animals come to your aid. And it feels good to walk among animals and they look at you but ignore you at the same, they behave like you're one of them.

@SubRosa - your mad scientist has a great lair, especially the table of experiments is fitting, I like the shot where she's taking notes. How is her lair accessible, through sewers or directly from outside? Oh, and bon appetit, Loviatar.

--

Hobo staged a fight between raiders and a mirelurk. How did he do it? He positioned himself roughly halfway between a raider-infested wharf and a mirelurk nest and shot in both directions. Both parties came to investigate until they eventually clashed.

Then came the radier boss and cleaned up the mess with a missile launcher but in fact he not only killed the mirelurk but his two friends as well, not to mention that he hurt himself in the process.

Hobo then jumped from behind the rock and finished things up.

As he was about to relax at the once-raider-infested wharf, another mirelurk arrived to the party. Hobo spotted it from afar, set a mine as a welcome surprise, then killed him with a well-placed shot in its face.
