Tales from the Capital Wasteland

[GonzoGamer]

BEST. QUEST RESULT. EVER.

That is good. If you like that, concluding the Replicated man, first talk to the 'droid tell him you'll take care of the guy looking for him: to get the gun. Then talk to the guy looking for him and tell him the truth: to get the perk.

You get one of the best guns and the best perks.


Also, try wearing one of those superhero costumes around, you might get hounded by a fanboy.

My wife found something cool the other day. You probably all know about this but in Hubris Comics you can play and old fashioned text based adventure game based on the Barbarian comics.

My favorite little moments however are the spontaneous miniquests that require hunting around and/or a little brain work: Prime's loot, looking for Cheryl, and the Keller notes. The crash site is cool though.

My first time trying to complete the Anchorage Memorial quest without killing any Mirelurks was a real hoot. -__-

bethesda ruins

they named a destroyed building after themselves and you can find the "lockpick" booblehead there.

its full easy raiders to kill and get free weapons,armor,food and exp

You do know there's an actual building in DC right with the name Bethesda right?

i was playing at a low level, but with plenty of ammo. While I was wandering around, i saw a couple mole rats standing around. i killed them after a bit of a battle, and when i continued walking the way i was when i saw them, a DEATHCLAW comes around the corner of the cliff. Needless to say at the end, i had almost no stimpaks left and was in need pf some ammo, but i killed the monster.

If you kill them before the quest it counts as not killing them. That was easy.

Yea, but it was my first time through and I hadn't thought ahead. It was an exhilarating experience, at least.

There's also a terminal in Vault 108 that has my name on it.

You'll also notice that there's another name in that terminal; Jason Stevens. In real life, my father is called Jason Stevens.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo...

Well the best thing I've done is Operation:Anchorage without using VATS or dieing which in't that impressive

but has anyone read the Germantown 911 operator computers...creepy

I went back to the temple of the union, later after I freed the slaves, and I had found a dead chinese soldier on the second floor.
there was also a radio signal which was mostly static and every now and then I would hear someone yell BISON! BISON!.
weird.
but even weirder a lot later I found a factory full of other Chinese soldiers who had become ghouls
needless to say they weren't happy to see me.

Having just got the Mister Sandman perk i decided to give it a go on some "tenpenny residents" (unnamed NPC's) but having got the Bloody Mess perk a few levels back this happened

I equipped a stealthboy and snuck up on a guy chose the Murder option
Hank (me) then proceeded to slit the poor guys jugular but the game glitched causing the nameless pillock to violentley explode in a cloud of gibs...all over his wife and bedroom

Subtle as a brick in the face

weird.

I think that BISON means victory in Chinese also if you talk the the ham radio near his body a Chinese guy say "Hello?" all you can say is I have to go now then he'll say "Later" at least that's what I've heard

Rock-It Launcher + Dinner Plates + Bloody Mess Perk = Crazy Fun....

"You wanna go to Big Town? Of course you do!"

That's what Sticky said as he ran up to Barbara, my wasteland gunslinger. Being the half-decent type, I decided to oblige. Sure, why not? I'll keep him safe. I've got my favorite assault rifle and a handful of grenades.

Several minutes of walking and kicking the crap out of raiders later, we make it to Big Town. Now, I'd been to Big Town before, and I'd protected it from the Super Mutants. How? With land mines. Yeah, you can see where this is going.

"Wow, thanks lady!" Says Sticky, before promptly stepping on a frag mine. Bang.

Now I'm not usually the cheating type, but I felt sorry for the poor guy. So I opened the console, resurrected him, and switched back to reality. Sticky looks at me, somewhat depressed.

"I hate it here," He says to me before walking four steps away and into another frag mine. Bang.

I left him there at that point.

This story wins, merely for being written like a story.


My favourite Wasteland Tale was the story of how I met Dogmeat.

Whilst wondering the wastelands I came across the Scrapyard, heard gunfire and decided to check it out. As we all know, you come across a Dog fighting a group of raiders. Having killed them off, and just finished watching I R LEGEND, I decided maybe having a doggy follower would be quite cool.

Until I went on my first bit of exploration with him, and he was gang raped by a group of 4 Giant Radscorpians. Dogmeat never knew what hit him

[Note that this was before Puppies! and the patch where they buffed him liekwoah]

I've got dozens,I love exploring the wasteland.
I picked up a strange signal on my Pipboy. When I tracked the location of the source it turned out to be coming from an abanded garage. After discovering a secret door in the floor of the garage I found the corpses of two Chinese Spys! The computers in the hidden base then led me to a place called Ma Gnuccis Packing Plant. Inside the plant I was confronted with about 20-30 Ghoulified Chinese Soldiers.

There's a part in one of the subway tunnels where you get in and there's a protectron that's asking you for tickets.... two super mutants come in and the protectron will walk up to them and ask them for their tickets as well... eventually after some conversation the mutants will start pounding on the protectron.... I took this opportunity to sneak up behind them and headshotted them both with Lincoln's Repeater in a single V.A.T.S. .

Where do you find Lincolns Repeater anyway?

Its in the Musuem of History. Theres a bunch of Lincoln-related artifacts hanging around.

Here is some useless trivia, Ma Gnucci was one of the badguys in the punisher game, and she owned a meat packing plant.
