There are also a couple of retextures of the doctor's outfits that you might like-- female version is tank top + fatigue pants + boots + a couple of gear bags. They're two of my favorite outfits because they're so comfortable-looking compared to some of the more skin-baring options. Retex by B1x. Retex by Josh Davis.

Favorites, in no particular order: Liberty Prime - Oh, man. On my first playthrough, I had no idea what to expect. When he godzillas his way through the Enclave, spouting his anti-Communist lines, first my jaw dropped, then I couldn't quit laughing. That sequence is both funny not just for the giant robot destroying everything in its path factor, but also for the not-even-trying-to-be-subtle political commentary. I actually reloaded a couple of times. Mister Burke - I'm not impressed with him as a standalone character, but if you recruit him as a follower, some of his responses to combat are comedy gold. He goes from cold killer to, literally, crying and screaming for help-- even as he mows down his opponents. Gob - I just felt so badly for him, starting with the "stupid joke of a body" line. I'm glad he's being modded into a full companion, so he can finally hit back. Desmond - Yeah, he's a total jerkoff, but he's just so disgusted with everyone, he's kind of hard to resist. Plus, I don't feel guilty if he gets taken out by friendly fire; I figure it's good for his ego. Reilly - Even though she doesn't get a lot of "screen time," I sympathized with her self-blame over her teammates' situation. That whole side quest is a great mood-lifter, given the general apathy / hostility of the Wasteland in general. Brick's fun, too. Agatha - She has her own music channel! Moira - Dr. Lesko, without the bad Jerry Lewis impersonation. Plus, she sympathizes with the molerats (who I think are kind of cute). But mostly because she's a disaster looking for a place to happen. I'm having a hard time thinking of favorite female combat characters. Hmmm. I don't think Fallout has a a Mazoga (from Oblivion) equivalent, has it? I haven't tried Star Cross, yet....

I'm finishing up with an adapation of Damsels in Distress-- two versions, one that has all-male captives in need of rescue, one with 8 male and 8 female captives. (For the record, the author has said I hope you enjoy this mod, feel free to modify and reuse anything I've done.) However, even though the changes are purely cosmetic, I'm still a little leery of uploading without beta-testing, just in case I've managed to goof something up. So, my actual question: Should I upload the file to TES, then ask for beta testers, or upload it to a private server, ask for testers, and upload after I've got some feedback?

Play yourself! You can use use one of the alternative start mods-- I like the shipboard start-- and take it from there. Translate what you do IRL into what you could do in Cyrodiil. If you're into the paranormal, go with Mysticism! If you can't read enough true-crime stories, put together your own Investigator class! Can't tolerate fools? maybe you're reborn as a ranger-type, or a hermit. Use your personal flaws for a more interesting storyline. If you're hopelessly uncoordinated, stick to strictly above-the-neck skills like security. If you're angry at the world in general, isn't that what Destruction is for? Tired of being broke? Mercantile and Speechcraft may fix that fast. Speaking of money... Start penniless, with no gear but what you're wearing-- not even a dagger or a club. Just you and your stats. That means hand-to-hand until you loot your first enemy, and having to scavenge healing supplies from the countryside. (Mod tip: Maybe save up for a bolt of cloth, then activate one of the portable bedroll mods?) For a psychological edge-- how would you handle the reality of literally fighting for your life on a regular basis? Maybe instead of skipping from dungeon to dungeon, you spend a day or two in the local chapel, or in a quiet corner of the woods, trying to get your head together. After all, in this scenario, you don't know if you're ever going home. It makes joining a guild a very smart move, too. After all, if you use the mod above, you're either disembarking in the IC or Anvil. Imagine just popping up in London, or Moscow, or Washington DC, with nothing but your clothes, and no idea what happened. If you keep in mind that a city of either size would have hundreds of people pushing past you and each other, the idea of having SOME allies, especially fighters and mages, becomes much more appealing. Anyway. Sorry for the novel, but I've obviously had a LOT of fun with this concept. :biggrin:

http://finalgirl.us/BG/grace2.png Grace Underhill, slightly scatterbrained noblewoman, who left her home to see the world, travel, see to some family business, and shop. Mostly shop, although she's pretty excited about maybe inheriting some kind of tower thing near Bruma, and getting to pretend to be a queen in this old castle that's, like, under siege or something. She's currently a 3rd level Dilettante, racing around in a state of panic in the Shivering Isles, wondering how she's going to get back home and back to spending money, gossiping, and going to parties. Except she's loving her new dresses, and she's kind of into the giant sword and the whole hero thing, and she hasn't had her nails done in days, and it doesn't really bother her all that much....

Vanilla: I kinda have a sneaking fondness for the IC shack. I just like the idea of having all this great gear and equipment, and actually living in the ES equivalent of a shotgun shack. DLC: Frostcrag, especially with the Reborn mod. Even without, the view alone is amazing. Mod: Bravil Sea Dome. I snagged it today, and honestly cannot say enough good about it. Especially fond of the double bed-- perfect for those days when your adventurer just doesn't want to get out of bed. And the portholes! And the steampunk-y waterfall! Just too much fun.
