Fallout 3 Toy Collection

I know it's been a while since I've posted but the fact that is that it's the summertime and I've been swamped with relaxing activities such as sitting, drinking, and um....yeah, I know there's more...it'll come to me later.
So this is my first post in 3 weeks and guess what it's about! That's right, Fallout 3! Yeah, I haven't switched titles for like a year...it's cool though, what a great game. Anyway, here's some toys I collected during the travels of my super evil character, "Klytemnestra".

Toy car collection. After I came home from killing innocents I'd drive them around my house going "vroom vroom" and then crashing them all like "pkkrrraaaaa-boooooooooom".

Teddy Bear collection. I would have slept on this if the game allowed me to. I think it should give you an extra well-rested-teddy-bear bonus.

Some Nuka-Cola trucks. Occasionally, these would also crash into my toy cars.

And with John Henry Eden constantly talking about baseball, how could I not collect baseballs and gloves? Basketballs were just a bonus...no hoop, you know?

Deathclaw Fist Fight

Once you're level 28ish, you can totally fuck up whatever enemy you encounter with no problems. I even decided to not use the many many versions of Power Armor I have and just stick with my trusty Ranger Battle Armor.

So, upon entering the Deathclaw Sanctuary, I put away my guns and decided to brawl it out with one of 'em.

The pictures are a bit shoddy considering I was taking them in motion.

But I assure you, I fist fought the sucker and won! Why would I lie about something stupid like that?

It was awesome. I did have assistance from Dogmeat, though. Deathclaws got nothin' on me!

The Pitt Round 2 aka Pitt-Slave Killing Spree

I don't even know if it's possible to beat the Pitt without losing some Karma. Luckily, I'm evil this time around. So, while I didn't do the evil deed that I did last time (steal the baby and kill his mama) I did end up killing a lot of slaves.

I suppose it was unnecessary because they were unarmed and running away. But c'mon, look at them, they were asking for it. They couldn't even put on a decent outfit for my arrival?

Plus, the Infiltrator is just fun to use. Something about an awesome scope and a silencer just makes for great killin' times.

I killed this dude too (above), Wernher is a dick. He deserved to die. My one regret last time I played the Pitt was not killing him because, man, what a jerk.

I probably killed that lady too.

That's Wernher right there. Minus his head of course...and that's his blood all over that wall.

I lost a shit ton of Karma that time around. Now I'm rated something like "Stuff of Nightmares" or something like that. Fantastic.

Gunstar Heroes Is Still the Best Game Evar

Best game ever. I usually don't bother getting all the achievements but there were only 12 and so I did...

He totally watched everything, too.

I even beat the final great soldier.

Actually Smash Daisaku beat him. (pictured above)

Best Day Ever...Wait, Evar, I'm Sorry

Yesterday:


Today:
Greatest Thing to Ever Happen

I'm happy.

Misc. Fallout Post

Clover ate it not long after I last posted...I decided she wasn't worth reloading for. However, on the plus side, I did get Dogmeat! By far my favorite ally, Dogmeat (he's a dog) doesn't go running off and get himself killed nearly as readily as most other allies I've had.

I soon after got Charon,

...a Ghoul acquaintance of mine, but he too died.
Here's a shot of me and Dogmeat mourning. Sorry buddy, but you shoulda stayed closer to me.

I discovered a new weapon as well, the Tri-Beam Laser Rifle, which is pretty badass. It has a DAM rating of about 71 and it's not quite fully repaired. It's pretty pimptacular. And I'm sure I've said this before but it always amazes me that there's constantly new stuff to discover in Fallout. I'm about 40 hours into my current file and I've been roaming through buildings I hadn't even touched in previous files. It's fun to find bizarre little tidbits like this...

That garden gnome sure is angry, but he's holding his sign upside down.

New Ally and Tom Selleck's Ultimate Edge

I got my first female ally in Fallout and she's all nutso. I got her by buying her off of a slaver at paradise falls (who I promptly killed afterwards) for 1000 caps. I think she was worth it, she uses a sawed-off shotgun and calls me "lover", just like women in real life.

She also provides a great deal of sexual innuendo in her dialogue which is always fun.

Wonderful, thanks Clover.

On a funnier note, I was flippin' channels the other night when I happened upon this...

I thought to myself, "Tom Selleck is doing motivational speaking on a late night infomercial?" But, when I flipped to the channel it was actually Tony Robbins. This made me wonder about the listing, and upon further research it turns out that Tony Robbins has teamed up with Tom Selleck to provide us all with advice in order to "transform the quality of [our lives]".

Fantastic.

Bonnet Massacre Part 2

After the Bonnet Massacre at Tenpenny Tower I went to inform Roy Philips that I'd taken care of the issue and his Ghoul buddies were free to move in. And so they did...

For a time there was peace.

Ghoul and human, living side by side! But that couldn't last...besides, I had a pretty new green dress and it was just screaming to be covered in blood.

And so, part 2 of the Massacre began. Human and ghoul dying side by side.

Roy Philips wasn't a good person anyway. It was never meant to be. In my book they're all worthless, bickering over property rights when the rest of the Wastes are teeming in a-morality and bloodshed. Now they're all dead! Ha!
I believe my status is now "Villain of the Wastes", papa would be proud.

The Great Bonnet Massacre at Tenpenny Tower

I was in Tenpenny tower talking to some of the residents when something snapped in me. They're just so damn self-righteous and I felt I had to teach them a lesson. It started simple...a bit of theft, starting with this really nice bonnet! Then a bit of pickpocketing...but then I thought, "what the hell, I'll just put a mine in this guy's pocket while he's sleeping,"

...and from there it only got worse...or better, depending on how you look at it.

Sorry Herbert, but you had it coming. The next step was to get a little sauced, so I starting drinking some of the Whiskey I had stolen from the barkeep. I guess my character went a bit crazy after that...

I picked off a few unknowing-sleeping residents.

Then I found this couple sound asleep and she had such a nice negligee, I just had to have it!

So that took care of that, then I tried it on and it fit perfectly!!

This was starting to get rather interesting, so I decided to take on some more residents while I pondered what to do to Tenpenny himself.

Now, while the negligee was quite nice, I found this one resident wearing a great dress, and that really sealed the deal. It was truly becoming the Great Bonnet Massacre of Tenpenny tower.

People were running in fear, security was attempting to foil my efforts with little effect, and I was enjoying my new outfit and taste for blood.

But I felt they deserved it. They're basically racists who won't let Ghouls live with them. Sure I could have used my 85 Speech points to reason with them...but that time had past.

After the Tower's security and residents were taken care of I decided to pay Tenpenny a little visit, and after gingerly placing a mine in his pocket...

He was toast, and I stole his suit. Surprisingly, that action actually made me gain Karma. So, I did one good deed in my time at Tenpenny tower. Now, I've considered letting the Ghouls know about this and perhaps have them move into the Tower, but I might just have to take them out too. That tower could be allllll mine....

I'm Eeeevil! Also, There's a Raider Stuck in the Ceiling...

So, I finally caved and decided to play Fallout 3 over as an evil character and found that it's fun all the same, but I just can't dedicate myself to being truly evil. I mean, my rating's still well into the "Very Evil" range but that's mostly due to theft...and the occasional murder. It definitely changes some things though, like I killed the crap outta those vampire fucks in the train tunnel, "The Family". But only after convincing them to let the kid they recruited go. So, basically I made peace between them and Arefu...then went back into the tunnels and rocked their shit with a missile launcher. That was truly satisfying. Those guys are messed up, I don't care what the Karma-meter says!

But I couldn't bring myself to kill the little kid whose parents were murdered by fire ants, Billy Wilks. On the other hand I did tell him they were "ant-food" and he called me an asshole...but I still saved him and got him a home in Rivet City! ...all while I was stealing heavily from just about everyone on that ship. I also popped some caps into Dukov. I felt that since I'm playing as a woman character, even if I'm evil, it's my obligation to stop pimping in the Wastes. So far, I've been pretty evil I guess, but just not as evil as I could be.

I've also found that I didn't even do some of the quests! I never met 3-Dog (owuuuuu) and went into the Washington Monument which is funny because I definitely went to GNR Plaza, guess I just never ventured inside. I gain the occasional Karma from doing quests like that and saving that chick from Dukov. So, even if I'm an asshole, Billy, I've still done some good deeds in my life! ...At least I didn't blow up Megaton.

Maybe once I go back to the Pitt I'll really go the distance, in the meantime, I'll stick to theft to keep me in the "Very Evil" range. Hell, I figure I'll just get the perk that makes you really good at the end if I want to be good again, right?

On another note, there's a raider stuck in the ceiling..and he's kinda deformed. Seriously, check it out...

How bizarre.

Broken Steel Defeated! ...and RIP Star Paladin Cross

I just got through beating the final add-on in Fallout 3, Broken Steel, with the exception of a couple small equipment gathering quests which seem to just be for kicks. This final add-on was all-out war, pitting you against the remnants of the Enclave and alongside the Brotherhood of Steel. It featured some awesome new weapons including a new bad-ass flamethrower and a sweet Tesla-missile launcher thing which would electrocute the shit outta people. It also had some of the most hardcore enemies I've ever seen, and oddly enough they were Feral Ghouls, an enemy I had long stopped even being the slightest bit challenged by.

It was in an intense fight with these new Feral Ghoul Reavers that I lost my dear ally, Star Paladin Cross. Your sacrifice was not in vain!

Once again, the add-on is totally worth the 10 bucks, and didn't make me feel like crap like the Pitt did. However, now I'm sad because I've basically done everything in the game, I think. The only real option at this point is to start over and be totally evil...but I have trouble with that, it just seems...well, mean I guess. But ah well, maybe I'll just be a jerk, maybe it'll grow on me...

Also, for those that play Broken Steel, keep your eyes peeled when you're in the Enclave base, there's Alien Blaster ammo strewn about certain locations...

WTF?

Fallout's thrown some bizarre stuff my way but nothing can top this fella...

Seriously, it's a talking tree. And he was kinda funny too, kept referring to some person inside of him as "Herbert" and laughing because the guy's name was actually Bob or something. I asked him why he thought this was funny but his explanation was basically like "Because his name is Bob and I think it's funny to call him Herbert"....alright, weird.

To add to it all, the tree-person is surrounded by a cult of weird hippy people named after trees who all worship him as a god AND he totally asked me to kill him...which I didn't do. I ended up actually making him spread his oasis-ness even further around, hopefully that'll help the Wastes! Anyway, basically...wtf?

The Pitt Made Me a Bad Person

I just finished the quests set forth in the Pitt, the most morally ambiguous Fallout add-on by far. I went to the Pitt as "The Last, Best Hope of Humanity" and returned as a "Shepard", still in the "Very Good" range but significantly lower. I also came back addicted to Jet and Beer (ha), and personally did not feel very good about the things I had done.

I stole a baby, killed its parents, killed a buncha slaves in a "Thunderdome" style death-match and watched bizarre trog mutants tear people apart time and time again.

I've never had a gaming experience where I came away from it actually feeling kinda fucked up about the things I had done. I was really trying to do the right thing too!!

Towards the end, I found myself walking around the Pitt, finding and killing the people who were involved in allowing the slaves to remain enslaved, and losing karma again and again.
But, morals aside, the add-on was damn fun, featured a badass motorized axe weapon, totally awesome scoped assault rifle, and some pretty sweet scenes and enemies.

Once again, definitely worth the 10 bucks...I dunno if it was worth the emotional strain, though.
This last image is, in a nutshell, what it's like to go to the Pitt...

Mmmm...chunky.
