Weird things you do in Fallout

I never use any heavy armor. Reinforced leather is as far as I'll go.

Swanick and Malcolm are killed on first sight. Or -if I'm woken by Malcolm Nuicance, grrr- after he's given his speech.

I always travel with Willow and Veronica. Somehow I always end up with these 2 -and usually Melissa. Other followers are more on a whim.

Pencils :facepalm: Even after Willows quest is done I keep collecting :confused:

139 mods. The wall :wallbash: Else I would run -I don't know- 300...... :rolleyes:

I'm another player who isn't keen on power armour. Mostly, I'll just wear clothes (which is costing me a fortune in stimpaks).

 

Strange things I do... Well, I always seem to go for a female character and spend AGES trying to make her look "right". I only collect items which are of value or stackable, never miss an opportunity to collect a pack of smokes :) Every time I walk past a pool table, I grab the cue (z key) and try and pocket a few balls, try being the key word in that sentence. I always travel with Willow and let loose a few rounds on her when she starts to sing - she's an awful singer... I hate the powder gangers and endeavour to kill each and every single one of them (though I show the powders in Nipton a slight amount of mercy by shooting them in the head when they are being crucified). The lottery winner always takes a head-shot, and so does the lucky runner up!

 

Even though NPC's don't react to finding dead bodies I always seem to move them out of sight, hide them in the grass, throw them over a cliff, that sort of thing. I like staging tea parties with the dead as well, after I go into a building and slaughter everybody inside, I'll put their bodies in funny positions, around the table or something silly like that, after all, it get's pretty lonely in the wasteland and most of the people there want me dead, there's no harm in a little game of tea party, RIGHT? If anybody speaks to me out of turn in the wasteland, they are as good as dead, it might be a harsh land, but there's no reason people can't be polite is there?

 

Fun times :D

Yeah, I don't use Power Armor a lot anymore, either. But sometimes I'll fast travel to a random place, and either walk the entire way to the opposite side of the map, or walk home. Sometimes through the night. Other times I'll do some roleplaying, such as stopping at rest stops to just sit or sleep.

I tend to continue collecting pencils long after Willow's quest...and before it :P I collect pencils full stop.

I also tend to collect misc junk because I expect to be using it in mods before long...I'm often right.

 

My characters are always female, and for related reasons I despise the Legion for their mysogeny (how dare they refuse to let me fight in the arena!)

I actually disagree with the legion for personal reasons beyond just good role-playing, so they're my personal punching bag for testing new mods on.

My last six weapon mods were tested on the legionaries at nipton and/or on the legionary assassins that I seem to meet a lot around that area.

 

That said, when I go after benny and chase him to The Fort, I'm friendly enough with Caesar. I don't follow anything he actually asks me to do, but I don't attack him either.

My Character's employee-loyalty is practically unbreakable in whatever game I play. So House has my loyalty nailed down. Nobody could pay me better, nobody can offer me better incentives and rewards, and nobody else has ideals that I actually believe in IRL...

Weird really, I've never felt personal loyalty to a fictional character before :P

 

This gives me ideas for another mod.....one to expand what can be done for Mr House outside of the main questline.

Fairly sure power armor is only used by most "young" players. I never use it. Usually stick with leather armor, rarely combat armor or ranger armor, but for immersion I prefer roving trader style, a good forarm sized blade, usually a kukri, a sidearm, preferably revolvers, and a 2hander which can vary from caravan shotguns too rifles, assault rifles, or laser/plasma rifles. With one or three grenades. I try too play it like a prospector in general.

I never use power armor,

All my characters have a fancy or rich sounding last name (e.g. Sarif, Costilla),

I always go the "yes man" route (Like, seriously. Caesar's Legion are just a bunch of evil dickheads, The NCR is a dying order and is in no condition to protect New Vegas, And Mr. House is a hypocrite),

I always wipe out the Great khans,

I always wipe out the Boomers,

I always wipe out the Powder Gangers (they're a bunch of *censored*as if you ask me),

I'm always an assassin or a stealth character,

I always prefer handguns over rifles and machine gun.

Well, I had a long, long backstory for my character, but my google chrome closed itself for some unknown reason, and I lost all my progress. And I mean, there was a lot of progress.

 

TL;DRw (Didn't rewrite)

 

Caeso belonged to Caesar's Legion as a well-known Frumentarii.

 

He liked to travel and do oddjobs, and he never wore his armor. (To prevent unwanted attacks)

 

He stumbled upon a Courier job and took it.

 

He got caught unawares by Benny, Jessup and McMurphy on the outskirts of Quarry Junction. (He was just about to snipe the mother residing there, and they hit him in the back with a poisoned dart, which KO'd him, and they brought him back up to the graveyard.

 

When Caeso "died", he was unable to radio in to Caesar's Legion in time (They took his handheld), and Caesar used a secret technology that Caeso created in order to erase the memory of Caeso from every legionary. This was necessary, as Caeso provided much morale just by being alive, and Caesar did not want to risk any mess-ups because a legionnaire had the deceased/missing Caeso on his mind.

 

Caeso lived, of course, as the "Courier" does.

 

Caeso goes to Nipton and see's Vulpes. He was about to greet him like a good friend, until he realized all of the legionnaires around him were scorning. When he went up to one, they spat at his feet and claimed that he belonged on a cross with the rest. He looked to Vulpes, who was a childhood friend, and Vulpes did nothing more then tell him to spread the truth of the Legion.

 

Caeso breaks down, heads to Novac.

 

Meets Boone.

 

Boone asks for some help with his wife, and as Caeso walked around, he actually seen a woman whom made a deal that he was charged to oversee. He checked around her house, and found nothing, then found the bill of sale in her shop. He stroked the paper, and looked to the bottom signature. It wasn't even a month ago that he had given the nod to the piece of paper, and let it pass. Caeso read it clearly, now, and seen that it was a sale for a pregnant woman, AND her unborn child. He puked then and there. He couldn't believe that he gave this the go ahead.

 

He continued with Boone's request, and brought the woman in front of the dinosaur. (Who recognized him, and asked them if anything went wrong, or if the child had been born safely. He replied with "Vale, foeda mulier." (Goodbye, foul woman.) and watched with pleasure as her head exploded from the high-caliber sniper round. He smiled up at Boone.

 

He continued searching for the bastard who shot him in the head, with Boone at his side.

 

Caeso told Boone who he was, pulling out the chain packed with NCR dogtags, all of which were his kills. Last time he checked, he had put his fiftieth dogtag on when he stole it off a Ranger up at the Mojave outpost.

 

Caeso explained that Boone had every right to kill him where he stood, but to let him say one thing,

 

"The Dam will belong to NCR, even if it means that I will be the one to take the head off of the Monster of the West, Legate Lanius."

 

And Caeso continued to prove it. When he met Ranger Hanlon, it was on an investigation. He exposed Hanlon as a tamperer of intelligence, and Hanlon killed himself. Caeso went outside Camp Golf and fired off a 21 gun salute in respect of Hanlon.

 

Hanlon secured his thoughts. He would help NCR, and represent it until the day he died.

 

And he proved that when he, Boone, Veronica, ED-E, Raul, Lily, Arcade, Rex and Cass charged the Legion camp. They devastated the troops there, and he walked into Caesar's tent with just Boone. The rest stayed outside and guarded the entrance.

 

Using his general techniques, and the newfound one, he took down the Praetorian Guard squad present that was surrounding Caesar, and took his last shot to disable the displacer glove, which also unactivated the memory filter. Caesar waved the smoke from his displacer glove to see his number one Frumentarii and soldier, Caeso, standing beside one of NCR's best 1st Recon snipers.

 

The only differences between Caeso when Caesar knew him, and the Caeso now,

 

Was that Caeso was wearing a 1st Recon beret and NCR Ranger armour.

 

His face was beyond recording. It was a mixture of utmost rage, sadness and pride.

 

Then his face was nothing more then pieces of brain matter on the tent wall, and his throne.

 

Smoke raised from the barrel of Boone's sniper.

 

"Thumb's down, you son of a *censored*!'
