Right outside Ghoultown


Ooh, I miss that nice blue water. Haven't been there in ages.


I don't remember if you have the rideable subway mod? It's quite nifty to actually use the train

Wow, the rifle she’s totin’ looks like it shoots grenades!

A top hat souvenir.

Quantum waters looks kind of inviting, actually.

Looks like Robbie’s following her around?

Is that a dry dock?

She really looks sexy in that first picture. Having some fun in the second. And why not? I think it'd be fun to dress up however we like, in this version of America which (I assume) is freer from social mores.

Weird, she's partially invisible. How?

That sword is not the Chinese Sword. Looks like more of a classic weapon. Ancient, by CW standards. ⚔

mirocu: No rideable metro for me. I did not know about that mod. I don't actually use that many mods for Fallout 3, at least not compared to other games.


Acadian: Her rifle is just the standard laser rifle. I use a texture mod that makes it look more snazzy by adding all those dials and gizmos to the surface of it.

It was not dry when it was made, but that dock sure is dry now!


Renee: I have no idea how Blood Raven turned partly invisible like that. My guess is it was some weird glitch with the camera, as she went back to normal after taking a few more steps.


Seeing the sights

Evergreen Mills

This guy took those Jack LaLanne ads too seriously...

Blood Raven felt that she needed a hand...

The Ant-Agonizer vs the Mechanist!

Blood Raven does no think this outfit suits her.

Pest Control

Krikey, I don't remember fighting a giant ant!

I figure any foe who can wield a fire hydrant is one to avoid.

Yeah, I'd be antsy about that outfit that doesn't suit her.

I like the contrast between the gray sky, the red billboard sign and the green grass in the first pic.

Nice view of the Evergreen Mills, too bad that the view is the only nice thing about it!

She fought the Behemoth bare-handed?

Now she can literally lend a hand.

I think that the outfit suits her. She's also very pretty, maybe that's way.

The original AntAgonizer wouldn't be proud of her.

I knew there'd be a hand.

I like that old-timey tint in the "outfit" pic. Like a tin type picture, sort of.

My other main character Cho just b34t the Ant Agonizer. I loved her though, I kinda wish he didn't have to get rid of her. Again, a very comic book-ish character, but an EVIL one, just like the Penguin or the Joker.

Alright, who's ready for some pics? It's been a while. Firstly, I've been making a bunch of repeatable quests, each one with its own top boss. For the Dunwich Building I made an H.P. Lovecraft-lookalike boss called "the Editor".

Dunwich Building Editor boss

H.P. Lovecraft


Whatcha all think?

I've also still been gaming quietly with Cho Zen Wan and Janet Talia over the summer. Janet has be been doing Lopov's Enemies of the Wastes, and recently encountered Jiff Hurley. Jiff had a sister who was a Regulator, but his sis got in trouble for going rogue (and getting killed), and Jiff decided to avenge his sister's death. Not a good idea for him.


Jiff Hurley

Jiff blames Janet for taking down his sister

Problem is, Janet had nothing to do with Virginia being blamed for going rogue...

So now Janet has no choice but to fight Jiff the brother.

Peww peww!!! Bkksh!!!

Janet's lazer rifle is customized, and has a weird glitch which knocks over enemies

Falling over...

Jiff ain't pwned, he's temporarily incapacitated --

Blonde Moment Pwnage

👱

A very good likeness on the Editor Boss face.

Oh, those names!

Wow, the Editor looks just like HP Lovecraft! You really outdid yourself on that one.

"You would have killed her, if she was still alive!" What?!?!?!

Janet tea-bagged him!

Nice job creating that boss!

Wow, that Jiff dummy gives peanut butter a bad name.

Ahh, Blonde Moment Pwnage. Buffy knows the feeling. Lethally Blonde.

Thanks so much. I think H.P. Editor's chin is too big and his lips a little too wide, but otherwise he's a great likeness of the man himself.

I can remember the first time I heard that term: tea-bagging. My nephew was playing Oblivion and we were at my sister's house in the country, and she's got this gigantic wall-sized TV. My nephew killed some enemy and then began going into sneak-mode over and over above the enemy's face.

"Uh, what are you doing there, Mike?"

Mike explained what tea-bagging is, something he learned while playing Halo.




Stoned on the Throne

Pretty in Pink

Twisted Sister.

Now, I missed getting a pic of when Sister explained that he's a slaver; something that none of my 'toons approve of. But we can can see quite clearly Janet and Sister are off to a bad start, and it's gonna get worse!

Sister Sister

Sister Act

Sister Sledge (This is the same stun gun mod Vicious uses)

Goodbye Sister Disco!

Floozy Fumar

💃🏿

Janet is looking nice in her pre-war pink dress.

She has the same taser as Vicious, neat!

You might say that Janet is electrifying.

I think there might be a spark between her and Sister after all...

I love Janet's glasses.

'Don't tase me, bro!'

And don't get blood on that pretty pink dress!

Jan's glasses allow her to enter Rivet City without getting shot at! I have no idea why they attack her but they do. I think it must've been a quest I wrote way back in 2017 which caused them to hate her. Anyway, as long as she wears those goggles they won't "recognize" the Floozie. 👑 Got some more for ya...


S. Rosa

Nope, not our SubRosa, Sentinel Rosa is part of Rebuilding the Capital. Cho is doing this mod, which extends the game after Broken Steel is done.

Mack in the Box


So... I wrote a repeatable quests into the Citadel for Cho to do. Most of these involve going off to pwn some enemy (such as the Ghostwriter/H.P. Lovecraft-looking guy found in Dunwich Building). But I had this cool new idea to escort people for some of these missions. And here's the twist: the player-character must take a CHILD to some location insead of an adult. 🧒 One mission, we take a boy to Big Town, another one we take a girl to Tenpenny.

Consulting the Mission Agent

"Got a couple kids, a boy and a girl..." (ha ha his shoulder's clipping into the barrel..)

Cho decides to take the boy to Big Town

What a brat.

Off they go -- Note: the kids he must guard are NON-essential. So this is serious. Good thing the kid's surrounded by Cho and his C-Team (4 adults in total).

The kid's REALLY a brat, though.

But at least he does the right thing during combat.

Bar-b-queing a radscorp! 🦂

Arriving at Big Town

Goodbye Brat

Hmm, where's the Lopov shot? ... Oh well.

He's also gonna take a girl to Tenpenny Towers, which should be more challenging because it's farther away. 💁 I'll post pics of that mission too.

Escorting a nonessential NPC is a pretty challenging quest concept. Nice work!

. . . though it'd be pretty tempting to take that brat into the middle of the badlands and leave him. . . .

Thanks Acadian, I think it's a rather novel idea. I'm like >< this close to finally putting some stuff up on Nexus.

The girl should be a lot more pleasant. But yeah, that boy, not only does he have the dialog I added in (for responses and all the text we read) but I modified him from Brian Wilkes, who is probably the most annoying boy in Fallout 3. So he still retains a bunch of Bethesda Hellos, some which are pretty sardonic. I've never smacked my own kid, but this boy really deserves it.

As always, I love your names, like Doug A Grave.

Escort missions are always the worst. The NPCs always do the stupidest things, like walk into mines, run up to monsters, or just stand there and refuse to move at all.

The kid actually hid during combat. Usually they run up to the deathclaws and start punching. So you are right, he did the right thing.

You got the Lopov shot of the Brat in the end at least.

Congrats on creating another quest. You are good at that sort of thing.

Scripts, my dear. Scripting. Although it wouldn't surprise me if, out of the blue moon, one of these kids just goes wacko and does their own thing! Notice Cho bought the kid a BB gun, just in case.

Back for another Mission

Take the Girl to Tenpenny Tower

She's much more polite (ignore the 'name's not important', that's getting changed)

Odd, unscripted moment (she walked over to the Mission Agent and just stood there. Both of them began looking at each other, and I imagined a conversation between them! It was like she was saying goodbye or something.)

Off they go

Mutants in the distance

"I CAN TASTE YOUR FEAR!!"

Carnage & Pwnage!

Molotov Mutant

At this point, having a kid under our care in the game is exactly like having a real kid. As Cho and his C-team were dealing with the muties, I began wondering where's the girl? I fired up the console for some tfc 1.

Turns out, she ran @ 100 yards away, so she could hide next to a lazer turret

During another battle, this time with raiders, the girl kept running toward the gunfight. One of them shot at her with a rifle, which scared the heck out of me. But fortunately Cho's a better shot.

Hide behind the adult (Another unplanned moment. Real kids do stuff like this sometimes when they're scared.)

"You're back. Thank the Goddess."

Tenpenny Arrival

"Looks like we're here..."

Cho's outdoor spot (I used one of the platforms in Megaton. This leads into his personal Tenpenny Suite...which I forgot to take pics of. )

Lopov to the shot.

🎃

That's a lot of carnage!

That is also one smart kid, hiding by the laser gun. I just hope she knew better than to stand up in front of it...

Not so smart when she ran towards the raiders. Doh!

And a Lopov shot!

A well-captured story in pictures! 'Girl' is much nicer to try and help than little bratboy.

This latest batch is from Janet's game once again. She's tackling yet another Lopov enemy from the mod he made a couple years ago.

Janet got a Prim 'n' Proper haircut

Using binocs (notice her silver nosering. That's a mod, of course)

Weynon (or ... Weyon?) (He is a sniper who lived on the overpass above Springvale Elementary. Weynon was cited by The Regulators for taking potshots at innocents who passed nearby)

Does anyone else notice a resemblance between Weynon and Biily Bob?

Stealth Boy'd

SPLITTTHOOO!!!

BZZT!!!

Enemy of the Wastes... Wasted

Spending "time" with Nova

Nice shots from Janet's game. I especially like the stealth boy ones.

Janet is prim and proper!

Weynon Priory does look like Billy Bob. I wonder if he still has a vial of Angelina Jolie's blood that he wears around his neck?

Janet went full ghost mode, and got him in his Achille's Heel!

Alright, she might be prim in the streets, but she's proper in the sheets!

Thanks to the new Fallout TV show, I decided to re-roll January as a toon in Fallout 4.

January and Avery hanging out at home

Their Mr. Handy (Cray) is of course a goddessend

The nukes are flying

But they made it safely into the Vault

Following Dr. Sinister to the pods. He assures January that there is nothing alarming about his name. He is just left-handed.

Very neat. Jan and Avery look like themselves. Cray is a bit off though. . . perhaps a sweater and bow tie?

Holy ... So did you use the "husband and wife" scenario at the start of the game to get both of them onscreen? In effect, we can make both husband and wife?

Jan's looking good. Ha ha Cray == a bot. Well, we can probably say Cray merely speaks through this Mister Handy, maybe as a set of software from the original guy, encapsulated into a flying droid.

This show must really have some merit if it's inspired you to get back into F04. What is Jan's goal going to be? Which quests, if any?

These pics are from Enemies of the Wastes, Lopov's bounty hunter mod. Which I'm still slogging through 3 1/2 years after its release.

Jan meets Bam

Bam is one of the bounties she's supposed to hunt. As we can see, Janet is able to walk right up to the guy. This is because (like Vicious) if Jan puts on some special raider armor she becomes part of a faction which is compatible with the raiders.

BZZT!

BKKSSHHHH!!! (she slipped a grenade in Bam's pocket, again a similar trick to Vicious)

Rawr/Rory sweeps the Brahmin pen!

Rawr (whose real name is Rory) is another enemy who's done some evil in his past. But as we can see, the guy's behaving himself, sweeping Canterbury Common's brahmin pen with a PINK broom! Janet let the guy live, which means she forfeit all the money she was offered from the Regulators.

Nice pics. The Dairy Farm is always fun to visit

I can't believe I missed this. Sorry Renee, I must have meant to reply then forgot about it.

In Fallout 4 you can create both a male and female character at the start of the game. So I made custom faces for each, then went with the female option as my PC. That way I got both Avery and Jan in the very start of the game.




Bam, but not Bam Bam, as then he'd be a lot younger, but with a big stick and super strength...

I remember that mod. That is one of Lopov's.

Is that Janet Talia? I can't think of any other Jan's you have.

It's okay. thanks for answering. One of these days I do want to get into Fallout 4 myself.

Yes, that is the same Janet who I wrote a story with way back in 2017. I still game with her. Cho & Janet are my main gaming characters while Vicious is my story character, although her story's about to end in maybe 3 more episodes. Graci.

Thanks, mirocu.

Back when Lopov released his mod during 2021 (COVID times), Enemies of the Wastes, I joked it would take me 'over a year' to complete all 20 of its bounties. Yeah, here we are nearly 4 years later.

Today's set of pictures occurs in Friendship Heights, the metro station where a bunch of bandits dwell. Thing is, my Janet does the same thing Vicious did, she dresses the part sometimes, allowing her to enter raider territory with rare consequences. Which is what happens in today's panorama. I considered having her not wear raider armor, so that she'd get attacked right away. That'd be way more challenging! But nah... I wanted some screenshots, which meant a safer environment with less chaos goin on. So she did the imposter thing once again.

The bounty she was after this time dealt with a trio of enemies: Red, Blue, and Green. Roll it!



Janet meets Blue. "Eh, you got a smoke?"

Then plots her next move.

She meets Green.

Laying frag mines -

And finally, Red

Let's start with Blue

PLZZZT!!!

Janet jabbing - (sheesh, what a psycho)

Blue on the warpath...

"Stop hiding! Only a *ferking* coward hides! BLZZT!!"

Knockdown

(Janet's customized lazer rifle has a weird glitch which causes most enemies to stagger when hit. I have no idea why it does this; all I did was slightly enhance damage, improve accuracy... little stuff like that. This, of course, is one of those rare glitches I hope never fixes itself!)

"Die already!"

Now it's Green's turn Jan ate a Stealth Boy because some of Friendship's raiders were getting pissed.

Green knockdown

For Red, Janet came up with this idea, she placed three frag mines around the final bounty while stealthed

Boom!

Tazed

Stalking (Red wandered all over the place looking for Janet, until Jan's Stealth Boy wore off... notice it also stopped raining)

Ragdolled 🎎

Ciggie Lopov'd

Janet goes on a colorful warpath! I like her outfit - the skirt is almost short enough to show her last name.
