You can get to the top areas of Libertalia from the rope. Once you get to the end of the rope, start jumping up and across. It is just like trying to climb the really steep mountains in Oblivion and Skyrim. Keep jump/moving up and at an angle, and you will circle around the top of that upended boat. That will put you close enough to jump on one of the platforms and get inside the buildings.

I remember the big battle at Mass Fusion. I never understood why the Brotherhood was attacking the Railroad. I guess they are just d***s that way. It is one of the reasons why I don't like them in Fallout 4.

Snake is a walking scrapyard!

Phew. Thanks you two for not posting too many pics! I wonder who posts more actually, both you you, or tmar with his girlz. I think tmar (back in his old Beth forum days) might actually beat the both of you combined!

Nice to see Victoria pwn!ng some b0t$ to some Led Zeppelin. In the Light is one of my fave LZ songs, one of those songs the radio never plays. Ha! A dual Lopov-shot to end this picture session!

Lopov, what's the lady doing in the Foggy City picture? Cute outfit she's got on. Yeah I know, all this death and blowing up vertibirds, and all I'm interested in is that girl's clothes.

That's Piper's younger sister Nat in the foggy picture. She has one of the kid's outfits on, a pair of torn jeans that go down to the knee, a skirt, etc... She sells the newspapers, and her big sister Piper writes the stories.

@SubRosa - looks like I made a wrong jump at the top of the ship or I wasn't persistent enough. We'll repeat the exercise once we return to Libertalia.

From what I understood, the BoS hates Railroad because they oppose rescuing synths while the BoS would prefer them dead. But apart from that I didn't come across any deeper explanation. I never particularly liked BoS, not even in original Fallout(s), they're too arrogant.

@Renee - I usually posts pics every 2nd day, it's a habit I kept over from the old Beth forums. Occasionally I'd post every 3rd day but that mostly happens if I forgot to post a new batch on the supposed day. I don't expect everyone to click on every pic and comment, so no worries.

R.I.P. Glory

"You shouldn't have killed my friend."

"None of you survives today."

Reunited (and it feels good)

Let's rumble!

Lol even Dogmeat gets a Lopov shot (sort of).

I felt sorry for Glory.

Looks like the Brotherhood of Scrap

Who's a good boy!

Looks like Snake is about to pay the Brotherhood a visit...

Lopov: There are other Behemoths besides Swan. There is a car henge east of Walden Pond where usually spawns. He is not always there however. It could be you have to be a certain level before he will. There are about half a dozen other places where they will spawn. But not always.

I like how there are warning signs all around Boston Common, telling people to stay away. I guess we know why!

Victoria killed him with just one or two shots. But she is doing just shy of a thousand points of damage with each missile.


Acadian: The normal underwater visibility is worse than Skyrim's. It is so murky you cannot see a thing. Like the other Beth games, I clear it up with some .ini tweaks.

I don't think Victoria knew just what to make of Red.


He's dead tired

I wonder what this siren calls?

Deathclaws!

Raider brought a baseball bat to a Deathclaw fight

Casey strikes out

Deathclaw #2 greets the Raiders

Reloading

Sea life

Life's a beach

Catwoman

Lopov –

Wow, with the Snake around, it is not just a bad day to be a synth, but a vertibird, BoS or robot as well!

In the next set he continues the body count. Hee - like Renee said, a Lopov shot of Dogmeat!

I do like that beret on Snake.

*

SubRosa –

Can’t get your first pic to come up on Imgur – others are fine.

Looks like Team Deathclaw beat Team Rader there.

Love the action shot in ‘Reloading’ – is that Robbie heroically coming through the fire to help?

Heh, a SEAL and her water.

Fixed that first pic.

@Renee - everyone of importance gets a Lopov shot!

@SubRosa - the BoS will get a visit and they won't like it.

Looks like the deathclaw got tired after not being able to break a lock on the chest.

Glowing dinosaurs! In the Commonwealth they no longer look as dangerous than in the Capital Wasteland or the Mojave.

Moe from Diamond City would approve of the raider's weapon.

AquaGirl under and above the water. Is she wearing the jumpsuit underneath her armor?

Meeow!

@Acadian - I think that the beret fits him great too, I'm glad you mentioned it. It's called a military cap and I haven't yet found any headgear that'd suit him better. It's been on his head almost since the first day after defrosting.

Assault on Precinct 13

Vertibird down

Ready to board

Up, up!

On board

Over Boston

Destination: Prydwen

Lost his head!

Those verribirds blow up really easy. I use a mod that makes them more durable.

I remember that vertibird ride! The night is going to get a lot brighter very soon!

Ahh, Fallout 4, I must get back to that puppy again. My trouble is that the poor level design means I end up running over the same part of the map, again and again and again....

I would much rather have a Megaton location mid-map with separate train tunnels and downtown area.

Great to see the pics from SubRosa and Lopov! I spent an hour going through them. Lol. SubRosa nailed the crash into the skyscraper perfectly. Oh dear, that ship flight was short!

Lopov, I love that first pic walking behind Dogmeat from a month ago. It was framed so well. I just had to download that for a desktop pic. I also loved the Vertibird explosion (from yesterday), that orange explosion looked so neat. And Dogmeat in the 'on board' pic. His front legs are locked for balance- it looks so real.

You folk make me want to start playing again. Perhaps after I finish Mad Max and Bioshock collection. Ha!

Honestly, Khajiit feels the level design is really good in Fallout4. This one enjoys exploring the ruins of Boston as well as the outlying areas. The Capital Wasteland was fun to explore as well, but it was a tad bit annoying to this one that you had to use the Metro tunnels to get around downtown. The tunnels themselves were interesting in their own right though. Khajiit just feels downtown Boston is more interesting to explore, and this one especially likes the seaside areas!

I think he means the way the game starts you out in the north west corner of the map. That means you have to go over the same areas like Concord, Wicked Shipping, Walden Pond, Lexington, etc... every game. But you probably don't always get to Mahkra Fishpacking, or Libertalia, or the Wreck of the Northern Star, and so forth.

You can use alternate start mods to start somewhere else. But speaking as someone who has done it, it is really difficult in the early game, since the enemies are all scaled up. It is almost as bad as trying to walk straight north from Goodsprings at the start of a New Vegas game. But at least you can survive starting in downtown Boston. It will just be extremely hard.

Khajiit started a character in the marshes once. Yeah, f that!

Whoa, deathies look like freakin' dinosaurs in this game. Good thing she didn't bring a baseball bat to that fight like raiders do!

Is "Snake" flying that vertibird? Or is that some sort of cut-scene?


Yeah, you sound just like me, WW. If I had a nickel for every time I said "you folks make me want to start playing X again, but first I have to finish X..."

Acadian: Team Deathclaw was a lot of fun to watch in action. When they were finished Victoria turned on a stealth boy to become invisible, and sneaked away quietly without the claws being the wiser.

Robbie was indeed Victoria's sidekick for clearing out that building. Those robots are one of the funnest parts of the fallout games.


Lopov: I think they the Deathclaws have the same stats in FO4 and in 3. But in Fallout 4 we have a lot more perks that increase damage, so they don't last as long as they used to. I use a mod called Deadlier Deathclaws that make them a lot tougher.

Victoria always wears the Vault 111 suit under her armor. I like how people make specific comments about it.


Winter Wolf: The whole Constitution questline is a lot of fun. I cannot help but want to help those wacky robots. It's too bad they are not too good at steering!


Renee: Deathclaws remind me of Godzilla. Especially the glowing green ones in Fallout 4. It's too bad they don't have an atomic breath weapon.


She's back!

Double Lopov

Bloody mess

Beauty and the beast

Hecate discovered a fallout shelter at 111 Cloverfield Lane

Down into the bowels of the earth she goes

The first room is a workshop

Making upgrades

Then there is a kitchen

All the comforts of home

Beyond that is the living room

Reverse view of the living room - the bedroom is that door behind Hecate

The bedroom is comfy

Hecate brought her own bears

Finally there is a storeroom

And a mostly empty room beyond

Khajiit- The problem with the game is I have run over the map so many times that it is actually depressing to have to start a new character. The thought of going anywhere near Concord is enough to make me retire from gaming. I love building a base at Sanctuary but leaving there and heading south makes me want to cry.

I still cannot believe that Beth short changed us with the train tunnels. In FO3 I would get lost and explore for hours and hours, before finally popping up on the other side of the map. Here, you do a loop and come back up in the same place...

The downtown area is cool to explore, but the large size of Boston takes up a massive part of the map, meaning that we miss out on many smaller settlements that should be in the game. My problem is that I also play the game on Xbox One and the game crashes all the time when I go downtown.

I really love exploring the coastline (I agree with you there) while the Glowing Sea and Far Harbor are really neat! Perhaps what I will do next time is just make a new character, grab Dogmeat and just head off to somewhere unique and different and do some settlement building. I will ignore the MQ until after level 20-30.

Renee- I can relate to that! Dead Space trilogy, Witcher 3, Borderlands, all the Far Cry's, Doom, Bioshock, Red Dead Redemption- where is the time?

SubRosa- How long has it been since you have showed Hecate? She is still looking as fine as I remember. If I need a sniper, I would only hire one girl.

A neat pad that she has there. I love the barrel with all those weapons. That looks so dangerous!

Lopov - Vertibird down is some spectacular colors! Snake and Dogmeat – door gunners over Boston!

SubRosa – Welcome back to Hecate. Nice digs she found! Dinner on the table = steak, taters, and a Sweetroll! Aww, the bears. . . of course.

Khajiit hears you Wolfie. Though this one has never personally experienced what you describe, Khajiit can certainly see how that could happen. This one feels they could’ve removed ~2/3 of the player created settlement locations and developed 2 or 3 of them into major established settlements and a handful of minor homesteads. Like maybe BGS sacrificed some content in the name of the player settlements (which Khajiit can kind of understand considering player settlements were the big gimmick for F4, but still).

@SubRosa - being aboard the veritibird the first time was great. And it's nice too that you can call a vertibird later and travel above the Commonwealth.

Hecate's back - back in black! I like yellow stripes on her black armor, it's a good combination.

Oh my, double Lopov! That's never seen before! Who's the viking next to Hecate?

Her shelter is underground but the kitchen still has a window - nice!

Hecate found a great place to live, it seems spacious but it's not "over the top".

mirocu is probably jealous of her collection of teddies.

@Winter Wolf - good to see you in the Commonwealth! I'm happy that I provided a new desktop pic for you. Thanks for checking older pics too, that's what I often do in these subforums, checking old pics from Fallout series.

@Renee - no, Logan isn't piloting the vertibird, he's behind the minigun, ready to blast anyone that'd dare to attack them from below. It's actually not a cut-scene, you travel in real time and enemies can attack you as you're in the air though the vertibird moves fast so you're quickly out of their range. I don't know whether the vertibird can be destroyed while you're on board but your character can get hurt if hit.

Guns'n'lasers

Dematerialized

Can't bring him down

The end of the Elder

Time to leave

Escape from Prydwen

Fireworks!

The fall of Prydwen

Back on the ground

Souvenir from the battle - a burn scar on the right cheek

Blast 'em Snake and Deacon!

Can't bring 'em down looks amazing. The red lasers look like the bars on the American flag.

That was one Elder I was glad to end.

Awesome boom in Fireworks!

Oh the humanity!

Burn baby burn!

Awww, that is not quite a Lopov shot...

Khajiit- Fallout 4 did so many things very well. I actually love the way each factions play off against each other, the way power armor feels so realistic this time, building a settlement that is slightly different to anybody else is very neat, and combat, as always, is a blast. The first time I played the game I racked up so many hours without even noticing, it was so good!

But i will always miss Megaton as a home base. When I exited Vault 101 I could head N-S-E-W on the compass. And I miss the audio sound of the ghouls, and been chased down a hill by a pair of Deathclaws or Albino Scorps! Fallout 3 had a poor number of quests, which was my only complaint with that game.

But don't worry I do love all the Fallout games! I just like to whinge a lot too.

Just do not get me started on Skyrim.

Lopov- Wow! That is one huge explosion! 'Back on the ground' is just sooo epic!

As SubRosa has said- oh the humanity....

'Cant bring him down' looks so painful, or perhaps immortal. He should be recruited to be a Jedi Knight.

Hey, Joan Jett has returned! The pic with the Sugar Bombs on the table is hilarious, and finally she takes off her bodysuit.

So nobody here is gaming with Settlements then, eh? Except maybe Kane, and he doesn't post pics often.

Poor "Snake." All he wanted was to just chill out and have a family 200+ years ago, after escaping that prison camp. But he's forced to return to what he's good at.

@SubRosa - Logan met the BoS elder for the first time now on Prydwen because he avoided any contact with them before. I remembered his name and later on looked it up and found out that we've met this guy before but in Fallout 3 in the Citadel but he was a kid back then.

@Winter Wolf - today's explosion will be even bigger but not as spectacular as the one when Prydwen went down.

@Renee - as narrators of the series tell us - war never changes. The same is true in Snake's case.

Attack on the Institute

Shooting and lots of it

Helping Deacon against gorillas

Final words

End of the Institute

"If there is such thing like a main quest, then this is the end..."

"...but every end is just a new beginning..."

"...and the best adventures are still ahead of us."

Lots of shooting.

Those Institute types are positively beastly!

Boom! I think Bethesda will put a mandatory nuke in every one of their Fallout games.

Snake and company are ready for more adventures.

True but they'll have to wait, ATM I'm back in the Mojave bounty hunting with Blondie and parading with Red Orchid, then I'm planning to venture to the Capital Wasteland cruising with Ally and drinking with the Hobo and also serve some justice with P.P. Barlow. But from time to time I'll post some of Snake's adventures which happened before I took a break from Fallout 4.

Winter Wolf: I think I played Hecate for a little while a few months ago. She is my go-to Fallout 4 character, whenever I'm not in the mood for any specific play style.


Acadian: No one had better steal her sweetrolls!

In some ways that bomb shelter is nicer than my apartment!


Lopov: Hecate will stop wearing back, when they make a color that is darker.

They yellow stripes in her new outfit is from her vault suit. I'm using a mod that adds a bunch of different colored vault suits. That is the shadowed version.

The viking is Honest Dan. He's a mercenary you meet in the town of Covenant. You can team up with him to find a person kidnapped from a caravan that was killed nearby. He looks like the Dragonborn to me.


Renee: Aww, Hecate's not a blackheart. But she does love rock and roll.


Two heads are better than one

Big Iron

Not so big iron

'Merica!

Close up

Bad day to be a Raider

Now that's a big pile of raiders! The bot in the smaller iron pic made me laugh. Looks like something from Sesame Street!

What a touching series of pics from (I assume) the end of the MQ. That final pic of them all standing on those steps looks like the credits are about to roll down-screen.

You're going to kick me Lopov, but I'm starting to think "Snake" Logan looks related to Sylvester Stallone. He looks like a thinner version of Sly.

Lopov- Those gorillas were so neat. I remember finding them for the first time and rushing around to find out what they were planing. Of course, my character was partial to the Institute, so it was what we were planing.

Dogmeat is rocking a stars and stripes bandanna! I like!

SubRosa- When you said 'Close up and 'Bad Day' I thought- Here comes a through-the-scope pic. Instead it was a huge pile of bodies! Good thing that Loviatar is not there.

Renee: The only good Raider, is in a pile of dead Raiders...

The smaller bot is the standard protectron - construction model.


Winter Wolf: Loviatar would have definitely gained a few pounds from that meal. She'd be doing cardio forever to work off all those Raider calories!



25 mph

Hecate goes naval

Gojira!

Downtown

Shadows

But do they think with both heads?

Big Iron patted Hecate on her shoulder.

Only the deathclaw is missing in the Bad day to be a raider. But I guess he's yet to come.

I see she's traveling with Ada. Snake also had her on board during the Automatron questline.

I absolutely love the look of concentration on Hecate while she is swimming. She must be going for some super ninja stealth kill! I just hope that her glasses are waterproof.

Wow! 'Downtown' shows how hot Hecate is. That is sweet curve if I do say so.

Is that a dead doggie in front of her in that pic?

Ada! My favourite companion by a mile is playing meet and greet!

Lopov: If Radstags are anything like real deer, they don't think with either head...

The Bad Raider pic was post Deathclaw. He is down at the other end of the street.


Winter Wolf: Hecate was just crossing a river in the naval pic, trying out her waterbreathing mask (modded of course).

That dog in the Downtown pic was alive and well. I always use the console to make the 'normal' animals like dogs and radstags friendly.


Happycate

Fireworks

Now Hecate is the Big Iron

In the light

Ahh, okay. Does that mean that you have made them a companion as well or is that dog just wandering around? The way it is heading almost seems like a companion.

I love the facial expressions on Hecate. She looks studious and very intense. Power Armor is so well done in this game. I am not sure I like the lack of training to use the one at Concord; however, but from a game mechanic it is so neat!

Happy Halloween!

A rare shot of Cait in a good mood

On the hunt

Shadow of Steel

Coranation Day

The Infiltrator

Diamond City safehouse

@SubRosa - Hecate looks good in military-painted power armor but in her black armor she looks even better.

@Kane - that safehouse looks good and it fits in the town, it reminds me of the DJ's home, probably it's based upon it. Who's the guy or girl in the Nuka-Cola Power Armor? Hecate?

The power armor is empty. Just a static prop that's part of the house theme - Elianora loves to fill her work up with stuff like that.
It's the Outfield Retreat player home.

You were in Diamond City on October 31st! I never make it there that soon. Some (well many) of my characters never go there at all. I think I have only seen the Halloween decoration once, and never the Crystalmethras ones.

Cait does look pleased. Is her hair red now, or is that just the lightning? I was thinking she ought be a redhead in the earlier pic, given the freckles.

Nope, still a brunette I see.

Looks like trouble on the horizon!

Cait is about to put a corona around someone's (former) head! Is that rifle from Modern Firearms? I don't recognize it, except for the M110 style barrel.

I love that Diamond City RV house of Elianora's. It is simple, small, and lore-friendly.

I honestly don't know howI made it there in so few days. I play on Survival, and it takes a good bit of leveling before I make it down there and feel safe.

Er, Cait is a companion, and her hair is indeed red.

It's a Heckler and Koch G3, which has since been removed from the Nexus.

Yep, and it makes a perfect little place ro rest at!

Winter Wolf: I avoid companions in all Bethesda games. They only get in the way, shoot you in the back, step on every trap, and block all the doorways. The dog in that pic was just wandering around.


Lopov: I used a power armor camo mod for the paint job in those pics. I agree though, that her normal outfit is much better.



Back from beyond the grave

Home sweet home

Welcoming a new resident

Pinups

Persephone has a head for this business

Silly ghoul brought a shotgun to a swordfight

Persephone awakens!

I like her glowing eyes.

Dead are the best company for her.

Time to haunt the baddies of the Commonwealth.

I want a Lopov shot of her to see if she still has scars on her face.

Lopov: Persephone always returns (from the dead)!

She only really became playable until I found a mod that adds glowing eyes.

I started her out with scars on one side of her face. But I am very underwhelmed with the scars in Fallout 4. Most of the time I cannot see them, and the rare times I do they don't really look like scars at all, just like a fuzziness in the image. I vastly preferred Skyrim's scars. Unfortunately I could not find any mods that change the scar textures. All I get are mods for the SCAR gun, or that have those letters in the name. You might notice the scars in the early pics. Eventually I just took them off.


These ghouls aren't even really undead

Charging in

Persephone has returned to menace the Earth

The White Death

Red handed

Need a hand?

Admiral Persephone

Speckt!

I remember her scars from before, that's why I asked, I know what you mean, I also sometimes regretted that I create subtle scars on Logan's face because at some angles they looked odd, especially if turned away from direct lighting.

--

Persephone uses her sword so often that it's always blood-covered.

She is the white death with the glowing eyes.

Persephone caught red-handed! Maybe she accidentally touched her sword.

Where's the admiral's ship?

The raider regretted not wearing some thicker mask.

Go Hecate! She really looks good in those side profile shots, and Fireworks looks like a Christmas decoration shot.

Cait looks happier in these pics, Kane. See? I knew she had a happier side. In that first pic, does Halloween happen spontaneously, because it's October 31st in their gameworld? Or does it always say Happy Halloween? Oh wait. Rosa says that "you made it there on Halloween." Interesting. Beth hasn't used specific days like this since the holidays of Daggerfall, I think.

Back to Persephone. Wait. Why is she calling that graveyard home.... OHH. I get it now. Whoa, she has a sword! That looks like it'll come in .... handy.

Um. I think there is some character confusion in my pics. Cora is my PC, featured in the pic with her sitting solemnly on the sidewalk.

The picture of Cait in a good mood is not Cora, but a follower found in the game. I gave it that title, because Cait is sassy NPC with a lot of bad history.

Cool. Got it Kane.

Lopov: Persephone does tend to end up covered in blood, a lot...

The White Death is now one of my desktops.

The Admiral's ship is at the bottom of the quarry! I guess she's not a very good sailor...


Renee: Persephone prefers 'living' in graveyards. Home is where the heart is after all.

Persephone is always happy to lend folks a helping hand... Usually not her own though...


Disarming a bandit

In the end, there can be only one

Lopov

What a stupid bandit. A giant, really huge power-armor wearing person with silver eyes rolls up, I'd be getting the hell out of there. Then again, maybe with enough chems in me... naw. I'd definitely run.

Yah! Defeat of another deathclaw!

Looks like Persephone needs a hand.

I like "ancient" decorations on her Power Armor, it fits Persephone but it probably wouldn't fit another character.

Persephone does some more disarming.

Pfft Commonwealth deathclaws, they're just cocky dinosaurs.

Face to face is an awesome shot, hopefully it one day appears in the Caption this thread.

Lopov the glowing eyes edition.
