Yes, you have to wait for it to reload by itself if you fire 10 successive shots but because of high DPS, it hasn't happened so far that she had to reload except once when she faced a modded character that had enormously high DT.

That's a real centscorpio massacre on the 2nd pic!

Cyhiraeth gets her Irish up

Passing some time in Primm

^ Love the WW1 styled hat she's got on. Looks like something from WW1 anyway. ^

When I saw the hat, Renee, I thought the same thing!

Cy's NCR Helmet reminds me of the British pith helmets. I never much liked how the NCR Helmet looked when I was playing Lonesome Dove. But it seems to fit Cyhiraeth. It keeps the sun out of her eyes, and off her neck.

In other news Cyhiraeth finally made it to Novac, and she did buy one of the godzilla toys.

Cyhiraeth is sporting some new headwear

I see that Cy wields a light machine gun. Except vendors, the only location where I know it can be found, is the Quarry Junction - did she find it there?

And she also switched leather for reinforced leather.

Cy is pretty, 1st recon beret suits her nice.

Decanus beware!

I forget where Cyhiraeth picked up the Light Machine Gun. It was somewhere down south though. She only used it once, against the radscorpions in that dry lakebed south west of Nipton. She sold it off on her first stop at a merchant. It was fun to try though! Cy is still mainly a shotgun sally. She is up to the Riot Shotgun now. That really works wonders with the Shotgun Surgeon perk.

I can see how Blondie got on the Legion's bad side! Good on her!

I see she got her Cliffracer Mohawk too!

Cazadors, I hate those things...

I don't think I have seen that achievement. But I don't think my characters have ever used the unique weapons much. Cyhiraeth is probably the first, with Lucky. But that is mostly her backup. Her shotguns are her primary.

That is just hilarious about Alice! I guess Blondie must make her nervous!

Contrary to many players that like to boast about their achievements (especially on Beth forums), I don't have a clue about them. If it happens, then I normally read it when a message appears on screen but otherwise I never know whether my characters are close to achieve something or not. I've also noticed that since she uses a machete gladius (yes, pics are way behind, she doesn't use a combat knife anymore), and anytime she kills a Fiend or some tribal raider, it counts toward a special achievement called White Line nightmare.

Spying out something weird

Cyhiraeth puts her riot shotgun to use

Eat buckshot alien scum!

I also created Kalaratri, a machete-wielding tribal type

Hey, I didn't force you to create another character!

Nice screenies, I see that you chose the WW trait with Cy. Did she take the Alien Blaster?

In Blondie's game this encounter didn't happen because she doesn't have the trait but she got the YCS/186 instead, carried by a mercenary.

Love that final pic, Lopov.

And what is that in your first pic, SR? .. Looks like the deck-edge of the Star Trek space ship.

Nice pixies, guys! Lol about Freddy Kruger

Since I just remembered that I already used the name Kalaratri for my Dwarven Noble in Dragon Age Origins, I changed my new melee chooper's name to Bellona.



Lopov: Wow, I never saw Freddy Kruger before! That is a neat easter egg.

I have taken the Wild Wasteland trait for all my characters except the very first, which I only played a bit to learn how the game works. I like the little extra weird encounters it adds. I think Indiana Jones in the fridge south of Goodsprings was one of those.

Cyhiraeth is not an energy user, so she just sold off the alien blaster.



Renee: That is a flying saucer in that pic. It is the mesh and texture for the Alien Recon Craft in FO3. It is part of vanilla FO3. The Mothership Zeta dlc has lots more alien stuff as well. I think the only aliens in FONV are those from my pics, and you only get those if you chose the Wild Wasteland trait when you rolled your toon.


Flyinn', Radscorpion flyinnn' soooo high!

Don't think a stimpack is going to help this one

Mighty big skeeters in these parts

It's not vanilla but from a mod.

@ the flying radscorpion, it really looks like that smoke is coming from his stinger.

Haa love that flying radscorp! Whoo!

Lopov - I enjoy seeing the adventures of Blondie. That's a cool pic where she finds the note in the skeletal hand.

SubRosa - Love Belle's new name! Flying scorpions! Don't they have those in Skyrim? No, wait. . . those are cliffracers dragons.

Lol!

Thank you all.

Here are some pics of a classic Wild West duel:

Looks like Jack used to be an adventurer. . . till he took an energy burst to the pizzle.

I guess it is Blondie who has the big iron her hip! Now that Jack had his shizzle nizzled!

Silly Power Ganger brought a gun to a spear fight

Bellona does what she does best

A traitor's death

Whoa, love the flying spear! Prime action!

Bellona and Blondie could share some tips and tricks about decapitations.

Seems to me that the Hidden Valley is full of submersed scorpions.

And killing traitorous Jeannie May never gets old.

Wow, both of you (Lopov & SubRosa) amazing work. It's amazing to me you manage to get such good screenies during action moments. I consider all my Mycharonna pics to be decent, but those are all digicam stills in which my witch is posing/standing still. If any action is going on I'm usually too caught up in it to get pictures.

I have probably asked this before, but are you taking movies (like with FRAPS) and then grabbing screenies from these movies later?

When not using VATS, I use a combination of tfc 1 (which freezes time) and tm command (which disables menus), then I rotate a camera around to take a pic. When using VATS, I disable menus before confirming an attack, then I press the PrintScreen button during VATS.

I do the same. Except I never thought of turning the menus off before going into vats!

So you all take pictures while the action is going on, is what you are saying. Pretty kewl.

Yes. It is very easy. All you have to do is hit the key for the console, and that automatically pauses the game while you type in the commands.

Renee, just don't try and rotate a camera in VATS, because a screen gets blurred as soon as you enter tfc, it uses some VTAS-exclusive animations.

Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow and wow. So much color (or sometimes lack of it) in these pics.

Did Blondie make that machete? I can see it looks like a worktable in that final pic.

She took this machete from a legionnaire whom she killed. The pic was taken on a worktable because by my rules she's only allowed to repair weapons on such worktables. In fact you can repair your weapons anywhere, as long as you have similar weapons or weapon repair kits but I prefer my rules.

Haha! Great shot!

Tnx.

Love the "shoot a raider in the air" pic! That sounds like a new circus act!

That lake is a great place for hunting ants, if you have a long range weapon like the anti-material rifle. Not so great with a knife though!

Everyone likes to cripple Fiends!

Look at how that Raider shot the telephone pole exactly down the middle. Great shot, except she missed.

I guess it's something similar to your flying radscorpion pic. I don't know why but sometimes it happens that when shot, enemies are forcefully thrown in the air. Results are usually hilarious.


Yeah, that pole was a pretty good cover, the raider was missing her constantly. Looks like Blondie is so slim she can hide behind a pole.

Decapitation with a blade

I believe the distance people fly up in the air when you kill them is directly related to the amount of damage beyond their total health they incur. Because when you really hit them, they go flying. It is in Oblivion and Skyrim too. That is why when a Giant hits someone with a power attack, it sends them into orbit.

That grease gun and hunting rifle are no match for a gauss rifle. I love the hole in the electrical tower in the background of the second pic!

Ewww, burned his head off!

Looks like its a bad night to be a bandit boss.

Moving on...

Wow, Courtright has a chin on him! It reminds me of The Tick's.

Looks like Blondie has given up her steel in favor of her pistol.

Some more pics than usual for today...

Blondie returned to her employer only to find him gone. But there was a note, which revealed what happened to her employer Randall. Blondie met Javier, one of a few people who managed to knock Blondie down. Though not for long. As Acadian says, there can be only one. Following a lead left behind by Randall, Blondie left the bounty office, determined to find Cormac, a man who knows where to find the Judge.

A few days later she located him in the Fiend territory. Stepping carefully, Blondie caught Cormac by surrprise, first throwing him down from a trailer, then crippling his head, and then sending him to where she sent Javier. A holotape on Cormac's body revealed a location of the Judge's bunker but before heading there, Blondie decided to buy "something special" for the Judge. What was it? Don't miss it in the next installment.

Busy Blondie! Sorry she got knocked down; I suppose though, in her line of work, it's better than getting knocked up.

Blondie is down but not out! That is quite the turn of events in that bounty hunter mod!

A special enemy deserves a special treatment - Blondie bought a present for the Judge. A few days later she entered the wolves' den, obviously guards were expecting her and they let her pass. Blondie had a feeling that these guys won't survive to see another day...

...she finally met the infamous Judge, the man responsible for making her unemployed. He talked and talked, but Blondie had only one message for him.

And so began...
the historical...
Mojave...
Chainsaw...
Massacre!

...after which Blondie needed some rest. Later victorious Blondie left the Judge's bunker, smoking a fine pre-war cigar, having just closed an important chapter of her life.

Oh noes! Not the Famous Mohave Chainsaw Massacre!

Good lord. A Blondie with a chainsaw, whoever woulda thunk it?

I like the 'Surprise' picture above when she catches Cormac off-guard.

EDIT: oh and 'yah', Chorrol's back online.
