Renee: You take the right kind of chems in the first place Renee, not the kind that make you want to attack people - much less 8' tall giants in powered armor.


Lopov: Persephone's armor is the TES-51 Powered Armor. It was inspired by Skyrim, hence the nordic scrollwork and the Dawntar logo on the chest. It is perfect for an true Skyrim character like Persephone.

I use a mod that makes the F4 Deathclaws more powerful. So Skyrim's dragons are just cocky dinosaurs... Except the modded ones of course! Persephone fought that one with just her sword, so it was a long, and tough fight.




Persephone is decorating

Let's put a smile on that face!

Death of a drug-dealer

12 guage slug...

...meets Raider

Brilliant

Persephone took trash on the street.

That's the encounter south of Sanctuary Hills, right? The one where you have to pick sides.

Persephone brought more than just smile on his face.

Little slugs shouldn't be underestimated.

Yikes! Bloody action shots today.

Looks like Persephone did a little favor for Loviatar in pic 1. That pile of bodies is like dinner buffet at the Golden Corral for Lovi, tee hee.

Lopov: Put A Smile On That Face is from the Drumlin Diner, where you can pick between helping the merchant or the drug dealer. My characters all kill the drug dealers.


Renee: Persephone does leave a lot of fresh meat just laying around behind her. You can always tell where she has been by the trail...



A ghoul gave Persephone a hand

Burning for you

Persephone's raider pile was not structurally sound

Planning her next move

Wasteland Disarmament

Better safe than sorry

Persephone has hands in stock.

Make sure that she takes the hand after it stops burning.

Cats of Ulthar!

Wow, robotic figurines! Who is she playing against?

It's never enough hands.

Now it's too late for muties to feel sorry.

Your caption titles made me laugh today! I think I like Planning her next move the most! I totally did not expect a chess game!

Burning for You looks wicked awesome. Looks like it could be the cover of a heavy metal album, or maybe even Journey!

Lopov: Persephone has lots of cats now. It is easy to build the traps for them. The only exotic thing you need for them in Softshell Mirelurk Meat. They also give a bonus to settlement happiness.

Peresphone plays against herself. Everyone else is dead...



Renee: Burning For You is a Blue Oyster Cult song. It could be one of their album covers.


Up close and personal

Let's get physical

Head to head

The TES Power Armor has some new accessories

Burnin' For You Again

Big gun

Argh! Blue Oyster Cult! I should know that.

And now, Let's get Physical, by Olivia Newton-John, although Persephone's not gonna get into some spandex and do some crunches. Not with power armor on. No, she's much more interested in pwning s0m3 d34thKl4w$! Pwn those m0b$, sistah.

At first I thought that Persephone needs a deathclaw's hand but she was actually in need of a hand.

The deathclaw helmet looks grrrrreat, now she's the walking demon.

Is this helmet vanilla?

Renee: I saw Blue Oyster Cult once at a club. They were really good.

I was thinking of Olivia Newton-John with the Let's Get Physical title too!


Lopov: That armor and the deathclaw helmet are all from the TES-51 Power Armor mod. It has options to add trophies from different animals like Yao-Guai, Brahmin, etc...



Taking out the trashbot

Flyin' high again

Prowlers

Reading the news

Persephone is not the hero the Commonwealth wants, she is the one it deserves

Round 1, Fight!

Bam! Zoom! Straight to the moon!

In the end, there can be only one...

I think I recognize the first pic from the final battle of the Automatron DLC.

Shooting and flying at the same time.

Don't forget to flush the toilet, teddy.

Chimneyphone sent the Glowclaw flying.

Lopov: Yes, that first pic was from the final battle against the Mechanist.

The shooting and flying happened when Persephone was fighting a sentry bot. She killed, and it went into its self-destruct explosion. So she hit her jetpack and flew away as fast as possible to get out of the blast.

Close up

Broken Steel

Lopov

"Warning! Union Violation Detected. Last recorded break was... 9,999 hours ago."

One could get lost in her eyes.

Protectron on fire but still walking.

A horde indeed! Imagine if all of them say at the same time "Move along, please".

What happened to her eyes in the Lopov shot, they're normal?

Lopov: Persephone's eyes light up every room. Literally.

That burning Protectron was set alight by Super Mutants attacking the library. Persephone teamed up with the robots to defend the books.

I think her eyes look blue in that final shot because she is standing directly in front of a bright light, and it is washing out the glow from Persephone's eyes. They look best in low light, because that is when their glow really stands out.


Evanescence

Neverending White Lights

Angels and Airwaves

Green Day

Bad Company

Bahaus

Collective Soul

The Cure

So she doesn't need Pipboy after all.

Is that deathclaw actually white or brightened up by lights?

Is that some creature behind Persehpne in Angels and Airwaves?

A deathclaw is wearing glass armor.

No country for old ghouls.

I hope Persephone has a soul gem read to collect the raider's soul.

Lopov: The first Deathclaw was an albino, combined with the lighting it made it look very white.

That is a Deathclaw Matriarch in Angels and Airwaves. It is from the quest where you can either return the stolen Deathclaw egg, or sell it. Persephone returned it to mommy.




The bitch is back

'Merica!

Bloody mess

Experimenting at home

Protect yourself

No country for old ghouls

Time to feast!

My favorite cannibal is back!

In the Commonwealth she looks better than even, "better" meaning even more creepy and dangerous.

Feasting under stars & stripes.

Where is her home?

Loviatar is already protected, only the helmet is missing.

Loviatar Chigurh.

The left raider for the main course, the right one for the dessert.

Ni-hi-hi-hice!!!! Especially that Bloody Mess pic! Ooh, she took her face mask off too, what a treat! Scary, creepy toon, Just in time for Halloween.

Are you a Bauhaus fan? You should caption a pic "She's in parties!" Well... if you want to, of course.

Lopov: Well she and Rattler are the only cannibals we know... (thank goodness!)

The glowing eyes really does it for Loviatar's look in Fallout 4. That and being able to change the color of her combat armor.

Loviatar is making her lair in the Red Rocket outside of Sanctuary Hills.


Renee: I usually forget to take her mask off before she feeds. That was one time I remembered.

I like Bahaus/Peter Murphy a little. Mostly I love Bela Lugosi's Dead.



Invisible Stalker

The Thing That Should Not Be

Pick your poison

Feast!

Use your head

Thanksgiving turkey

Lopov

Loviatar can turn invisible thanks to her armor?

Even Loviatar needs a poison to clean her moth after a good feast.

Ghouleatingl! She's not too picky, is she?

In Loviatar's case it should be "Use your mouth".

A mutant probably tastes better than a ghoul.

Lopov Bloody Edition.

Welp, now that song is stuck in my head.
*navigates to the tube of you*

Spying on Swan

SWAAAAAAN!

Logan has something to say:

"No country for old swans."

Oh no! Poor swan! What the heck is that thing, anyway (other than target practice)?

'Ol Swannie is a Super Mutant Behemoth! Not to be messed with at lover levels, that's for sure!

They gave him a good backstory too. He can hurl rocks at you, Renee, so be careful when approaching him.

Logan was avoiding this park because there are warnings all around it, but once he reached a higher level and was carrying a powerful weapon, he dared to approach. As Kane says, he's probably challenging at low levels, but Logan killed him fairly easily, though the first shot was a successful sneak attack which cut his health in half (or even more). Then only one or two bullets were needed to bring him down, I don't remember anymore, because this event happened a while ago.

Yeah, Behemes don't usually appear in the world until you are level 40. Swan and the Carhenge mutie can really take you by surprise if you are a lowbie.

Especially on Survival.

Look at Swan being all bad-a**!

Uh oh, Logan is asking if Swan feels lucky...

I keep expecting Logan to pop out adamantium claws...

@Kane - I haven't come upon Carhenge yet but we encountered another behemoth close to the Corvega Factory. It was already very wounded from fighting raiders.

@SubRosa - Logan remembers swans being slightly different before the war.

The kid from the fridge

Family reunion

End of the slaver

Beach party

Aw, a family of ghouls, just in time for Helloween. What happens during that quest (I assume it's a quest)?

What the heck is that green mudcrab-looking thing at the beach party? Boy, that's some beach party! I'd rather see sharks.

Lopov: That is why kids shouldn't play with fridges! Look what being locked in that one did to that kid!

Home sweet home.

Some great action shots.

Renee, that green mudcrab-looking thing is a mudcrab! That is how they look in F4.

Lopov: Loviatar was using a steal boy to turn invisible when she attacked the Carhenge Behemoth.

Ghouls are like spicy Thai food!

Mutants are probably like a thick, Angus beef steak. With added radiation...


Kane: Face The Thing That Should Not Be!


Have a Nuke

The Brotherhood of Fresh Meat

The Face of Evil

This one's extra spicy!

Good Jobs, Safe Jobs

Barbecue

A day at the spa

While Skyrim has the Gourmet, the Commonwealth has Loviatar.

BoS guys probably taste like canned food because of wearing PA most of the time.

Green hot chili peppers.

Lovi enjoying in refreshing green water.

@Renee - you are asked to escort the kid from the fridge back home. He's been in the fridge ever since the bombs fell. You can also sell him to the slaver, the one which is shown in the pic, but Logan refused to do that and instead took him to his ghoulified parents. Then the slaver and his goons attacked, so Logan, Deacon and Dogmeat dispatched of them.

That green thing is a mirelurk, one of many variants found in the Commonwealth.

@SubRosa - when escorting the kid back home, one has to pass through some raider-occupied town, I don't remember the name. Logan didn't feel like fighting a bunch of raiders so they sneaked through entire town, only one raider caught them but fortunately they weren't any more around. We'll thoroughly explore and clear that place later, sometimes it's good to leave some stuff for future explorations.

Under attack!

Who laughs now?

His raiding days are over

And his too

Time for a new mayor

Too lazy to shave

That is Quincy you have to go through to get the kid back home. It's overrun by Gunners. They are the same crew that took over the town and drove out Preston and company (The Quincy Massacre). If you look around the town, you can find signs where they lived, like computer journals and the like.

Kingsport + Vertibird = Lovecraft himself never saw that coming!

Attacking the lighthouse in a vertibird is awesome!

A little Commonwealth Justice for Mayor McDonough! I love how his secretary just calmly walks by as his head disintegrates!

Logan is looking good!

Yaah Lovi's bathing! She'd better, after all those gristly, messy meals! Yarrach!

I love the pic of the mayor losing his head. Look at Dogmeat! He's just casually walking around. In fact, why are all the NPCs just sort of not looking at somebody losing his head? Maybe Logan got in there too quick.

Lopov: Too bad Loviatar never had the opportunity to cook for the Emperor...

The BOS is a sweet meat, considering Loviatar's history with them.


Renee: There is nothing like a nice long soak in the radioactivity to really open up your pores!


Better safe than sorry

Getting high

Chin music

Heavy metal

Relaxing at home

Posting on the HP Lovecraft Literary Podcast

The kitchen, dining, and tanning area

The garage

@Renee - I guess everyone was so calm because in the wasteland heads are shot off on a daily basis so it's nothing special anymore.

@SubRosa - everything went fine until the vertibird landed, Children of Atom didn't attack before, but then suddenly they launched a massive attack with their gamma guns.

Better sated than hungry.

What a prominent chin!

Loviatar's diner - the diner where you'll be eaten instead of eating.

At home

Modifying ADA

Green sky

Frozen mirelurk - Logan has some piece of apparel that has a chance of freezing enemies upon direct contact

Dogmeat is the bravest

"Shhh! It's me...Logan."

Boss fight

Time to toss a couple of frozen shrimp on the barbie!

The sky is green with envy.

Dogmeat is kicking Rust Devil chassis!

That tiny gun looks weird in that big X01 armor. Logan needs to move up to a minigun.

Yes! Cosmopolitan must keep missing this skin & beauty tip. Such a shame.


Other than vertibirds and power armor, is any other vehicle operational in 4?

Sadly no. You cannot even truly fly a vertibird either. You just get to hitch a ride on one in a scripted scene during the main quest. There are some vehicle mods. I tried a motorcycle mod once, but it was impossible to steer. I remember seeing a battle mech mod at one time too, but never tried it.

Lopov: You can check into Loviatar's, but you can never leave. She does not live in a diner though. She lives in the Red Rocket outside of Sanctuary. I use a texture mod that makes the wall paint more red.


Renee: Forget mudpacks. You need to try bloodpacks to keep your skin healthy and rejuvenated.




I did a little testing on playing a child character for future use

Rain drops keep falling on my head...

Loviatar's pool party

Relaxing

Misty night

A nice relaxing soak

Lopov

The child looks good. Is that your character or you created one just for testing purposes?

Loviatar in the pool scene reminds me of one of the Police Academy movies, when nobody dares to go in a pool but then some pretty police officer jumps in and says "Who want to rescue me?" and all guys jump after her. But in Loviatar's case probably everybody jumped out.

Thank God for sofas on top of buildings.

Lovia is quite a spa-girl.

Ghouls seem to be her favorite meal.

Here's the last batch of screenies I took before taking a break from Fallout 4 in August.

Too lazy to walk

Too hot for clothes

Dogclaw beats the deathclaw

High but not high enough

Used to be a behemoth

Stimpaking wounded Deacon

Sentry Bot boom boom

Ta-da!

Naked pilots!

There's a good boy!

All the behemoth meat wasted!

Call him Deacon Blues

And a Lopov shot!

Lopov: That child character I created was Ariel. I was testing out the child mods out there, and how seeing how they worked. I will eventually get to playing one full-time. I had a child in Fallout 3 named Nyx, who was a cyborg. She was inspired by the anime Gunslinger Girl. I think whoever I create for Fallout 4 will go the same route, or maybe be a full robot (not necessarily from the Institute).


Campfire tales

Hot dog

More spa time

Bon appetit!

Looking back

Get a leg up

Best stories are told by a campfire.

A hot dog indeed. Does Loviatar eat animals too?

Only the dead dare to join Loviatar while she's bathing.

She probably ate more corpses than there are named NPCs in the entire game.

Looking back...and hoping that on the other side there's something more edible than just barrels.

Ha ha now that's some pool party! Corpses to hang with, irradiated water, who can resist? All we need is some SPF 30! Oh wait...

I love that child idea!

Whoa Lovi looks wicked-cool in Hot Dog. ... Yikes FIVE HUNDRED and TEN!?!

---------------

Nice batch of Logan shots from the summer. Shall he make a return in the spring do you think? Or you just don't know yet 'cause you'll be working more often?

I'll definitely return to the Commonwealth and to Logan at some point, but I don't know yet when, though spring sounds a realistic option. I'll work more already since January.

Lopov: Unfortunately, Loviatar never leaves anyone alive to listen to her campfire tales...

Animals are too bland and... normal, for Loviatar. The sweet meat of sentients is what she hankers for.

I wonder how many named NPCs there are. Loviatar probably has eaten more...


Renee: Lovi is wicked cool. She is actually up to 1,000 corpses eaten now.


Corpses, corpses everywhere, but not a single scrap of meat to eat

The taste is out of this world

Loviatar goes boating

Death from above

Loviatar is having a sale...

Nine out of ten doctor-bots approve of the Loviatar Diet Program

Yeah, graveyards probably aren't the best source of fresh meat.

The Hobo approves of Loviatar's hat.

First she's gonna nuke you, then she's gonna eat you. Or the other way around.

If you buy a head, you get a gun for free.

Loviatar manages to stay thin despite eating half of the Commonwealth.
