Nice update. But I thought Katja makes it at least to the cathedral :lol:

The same thing almost happened to me, but because I was using the upgraded plasma rifle and I had all of my companions alive, only a few nameless npc died and the town was saved.

It was the same for me. With all companions alive it was relatively easy to save most of the citizens. Does anybody know how it turns out when you go in with the blades? I only played it once.

I do, it's what I did for the second playtrough. It's mostly the same, but you start on a fixed area with some armed npcs that help you, so it's much easier to save everyone (however, if you do so, Zimmerman becomes hostile, the poor guy is sentenced to death no matter what you do :lol: :lol: ).

Come on, Brian. There was nothing you could've done. You saved a few lives at least. You could've run, but you didn't.
vd.jpg
I could've saved more. Should've. If I had went in with the Blades instead...
01.jpg

todd.jpg
Uh oh, proximity sensors are picking up movement. Company!
02.jpg

vd.jpg
Just a bunch of gangers...probably trying to score a quick buck.
bandit.jpg
Get him, boys.
03.jpg

vd.jpg
I don't feel like fighting you guys now, why don't you just leave before things get ugly?

I swung a punch at the nearest one, he recoiled from the blow, but still standing.

04.jpg

bandit.jpg
Leave the armor behind and we'll let you go.

Another shot hit the shoulder plate.
05.jpg


vd.jpg
Not an option, guys.
todd.jpg
No damage. C'mon Brian, kill'em already.
vd.jpg
You can't hurt me. But I *can* kill you. So why don't you just step aside this once?
06.jpg

bandit.jpg
No.
07.jpg

vd.jpg
Don't make me angry.
08.jpg

bandit.jpg
Keep yapping, we could use the target practice.
09.jpg

vd.jpg
You wouldn't like me when I'm angry...
bandit.jpg
JUST DIE ALREADY!
10.jpg

vd.jpg
You asked for this..
11.jpg

vd.jpg
Take it.
12.jpg

13.jpg

14.jpg

vd.jpg
Have another.
15.jpg

16.jpg

vd.jpg
I had hoped ....to spare more lives. But it seems the wasteland only knows one language...
17.jpg

bandit.jpg
KILL HIM!
vd.jpg
Violence.
18.jpg

19.jpg

vd.jpg
Your weapons are ineffective. My armor is impervious....
20.jpg

21.jpg

vd.jpg
But yours...
22.jpg

bandit.jpg
Oh gawd, oh gawd-
vd.jpg
...are *not*.
23.jpg

24.jpg

vd.jpg
Another five lives taken.
todd.jpg
You could've done it earlier, Brian. Wasting time and half a page of updates.
vd.jpg
I was...reflecting. It will not happen again, T-51b.
todd.jpg
Uhh...what did you call me?
vd.jpg
Unit T-51b, Operation Majestic Warfare commencing.
25.jpg

todd.jpg
Whatever floats your boat, Brian.
vd.jpg
Do refer to me as Vince from now on.
26.jpg

vd.jpg
Ahh...the herd is here...Tis' time to conduct their final rites.
todd.jpg
So..uh..Bri-Vince, what's the plan? Are we putting on disguises?
vd.jpg
T-51b, apply full chemicals injection. Commence mission recording.
todd.jpg
Acknowledged, Operator...uh..why did I just-
27.jpg

vd.jpg
Commencing contact with biological targets - verdict to be declared.
28.jpg

vd.jpg
It is nice to know I am among friends here. What news, Brothers?
29.jpg

vd.jpg
Why should I praise the Master? Do try to convince me.
30.jpg

vd.jpg
An open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred and unguarded.
31.jpg

vd.jpg
Father Morpheus. That's a real peaceful sounding name. Who's his assistant, Brother Murder? Brother Death? Sister Kill, maybe?
32.jpg

vd.jpg
Irrelevant answer. I do not have to like being here to exterminate you. Verdict discharged: GUILTY.
33.jpg


KA-CHAK!

34.jpg

35.jpg

vd.jpg
Terminated. Engaging secondary targets.
36.jpg

37.jpg

child.jpg
You dare strike the Children?! The Master's Fury will be great!
vd.jpg
I have fury of my own to share.
38.jpg

39.jpg

vd.jpg
I alone shall suffice.
40.jpg

41.jpg

vd.jpg
Be purged!
42.jpg

child.jpg
What have we ever done to you-
43.jpg

vd.jpg
You were blind, now I shall let you see.
44.jpg

todd.jpg
Jesus. What flipped your switch, Brian?
vd.jpg
Commencing entry into enemy compound.
45.jpg

46.jpg

todd.jpg
Gee, I guess you can tell them to say their last prayers now. There's lots of these guys, though, we better plan our moves carefully...
47.jpg

vd.jpg
Where might I meet this Master?
48.jpg

vd.jpg
Indeed. Ladies and Gentlemen. You have eaten well. You've eaten the Wasteland's wealth and its spirit. Your feast is nearly over. From this moment on -
49.jpg

vd.jpg
- *NONE* of you are safe.
todd.jpg
....this is getting a little bit too extreme.

Hi there, Speaking of death prediction, I find it really odd that one of the on-line death prediction services showed me the same death date that I was foretold in my dream about a year ago. http://yourdeathdate.info/1/index.html - I can`t explain this coincidence in any other way except that there must be some kind of magic involved here.

Brian... I mean, Vince, has gone full retard, so much that he has forgotten he has a plasma rifle. Well, if you plan to take the whole Cathedral with your bare hands, you'll have a hard time. :M

Perhaps I should revert to a more primitive weaponry: the Gun.

Wait for me, Morpheus...I'm coming for you.

Looks like living quarters, no sign of this Morpheus. Must be on the topside.
37.jpg

vd.jpg
Ascension complete. Target spotted.
38.jpg

vd.jpg
One of the Brothers sent me up here.
39.jpg

vd.jpg
How (Intelligence) of you, what gave me away? The Brotherhood Power Armor? The smell of burning flesh and drying blood of your comrades?
40.jpg

vd.jpg
Down.
41.jpg

vd.jpg
And that is it...I shall..
42.jpg

vd.jpg
Oh. Company.
43.jpg

vd.jpg
Going for the optics proved to be the most effective combat move. Mutant defeated.
44.jpg

vd.jpg
Hmmm. Acquiring on-site weaponry.
45.jpg

todd.jpg
This looks bad, Vince. Two more Nightkins are arriving!
vd.jpg
T-51b, commence Heavy Weapons Training Module.
46.jpg

todd.jpg
You're not thinking of using the flam-
47.jpg

48.jpg

vd.jpg
It is..effective.
49.jpg

vd.jpg
Ugh...so, you too possess the flame of purification.
50a.jpg

vd.jpg
Let's see whose flame shines the brightest!
51a.jpg

52a.jpg

53a.jpg

todd.jpg
Uh...can you don't do that again. There's no protection against heat, I just spent around a dozen stims keeping you up.
54a.jpg

vd.jpg
Enemy artefact acquired. No sign of the Master. Proceeding to the enemy's vault.
55a.jpg

56a.jpg

vd.jpg
T-51b, area scan.
todd.jpg
Uh...it's dark...dusty...and....lots of shelves.
vd.jpg
How (Perception) of you.

todd.jpg
Dead end. What now?
58a.jpg

vd.jpg
This wall is hollow...but where is the switch?
todd.jpg
Let's keep looking.
vd.jpg
In the brightest day, in the blackest night...
59a.jpg

vd.jpg
No evil shall escape my sight.

Boom.

60.jpg

....cool.

Let those who worship evil's might..

Beware my power, Green Plasma's light!
63.jpg

todd.jpg
Nice shot! You burned the smaller mutie!
64.jpg

vd.jpg
Be pure!
65.jpg

todd.jpg
There's gotta be more of them inside, be careful, Vince.
66.jpg

68.jpg

69.jpg

todd.jpg
Uh,oh...lots. LOTS of them.
vd.jpg
Tactical Retreat initiated.
70.jpg

71.jpg

todd.jpg
Good thinking, Vince! With the narrow caves, those uglies can't get through all at once!
72.jpg

vd.jpg
Retreat halted. Counter-attack commencing.
73.jpg

74.jpg

vd.jpg
Successful. Retreating to favourable position.
75.jpg

76.jpg

todd.jpg
Looks like this is the last stand.
77.jpg

78.jpg

todd.jpg
May I remind you that point blank plasma isn't good for your health?
79.jpg

vd.jpg
Threat level upgrading, deploying Plasma Grenade.
80.jpg

81.jpg

85.jpg

todd.jpg
Phew. That was too close. Too fucking close. Oh, wow. Guess what, combat software upgrades? What are we upping?
vd.jpg
Heavy Weaponry, minor Energy Weapon adjustment as well.
86.jpg

todd.jpg
Done, give them hell, Vince.
87.jpg

Morpheus sent me with a message for the Master: Burn.

I can't believe I never used heavy/energy weapons in Fallout. Seems like I missed out.

We told you. We warned you about the drugs, bro. They make you see surreal things!


On a side note: FO's death animations are so... nice. The flame dance, the led dance, plasma melting and laser cutting.

The turbo plasma rifle is infamously unbalanced. Feargus Urquheart added it fairly late in the design process and it's just way overpowered, using one AP less than the standard rifles.

I remember once killing the Master with four crit shots from it, took two turns to kill him.

That burning dance animation is so good.

This is the best fallout LP ever. I'm loving every minute of it :salute:

Gave me a new, fresh look at the game, forced me to reinstall both 1 and 2.

Your bonus larping is :love: .

Keep at it bro and by all means and so on do Fallout 2 next.

For bonus fap material do all extra total conversions for it as well. :M

Yes the animations are nice it's just too fucking bad laser weapons suck so much you don't see that last one often. Everything with metal armor or better just shrugs off all but the best of critical hits.

Not to mention the fact that getting a laser pistol which should have been the easiest energy weapon to get takes a lot more effort than it should. Especially when compared to getting a plasma pistol which is far superior. You can get one faster in Fallout 2 but even then why bother if you can grab a far superior magnum revolver with a lot less effort.

Seriously the laser pistol needed more love.

They could've balanced the whole thing better if they made Laser cost one AP less to fire to reflect the pew-pew depiction in most sci-fi movies. So better ROF (Laser) or Heavy Dmg (Plasma) would be a real choice.

I feel most of the small guns suffer from this as well. With most encounters taking place in enclosed spaces, there's really no harm in holding on to high caliber pistols instead of lugging that bulky sniper rifles around.

I like grenades in this run, though. I never utilize these suckers so much till this LP. 4 AP cost - pseudo mini-rocket is pretty good. 2 throws Area damage per round can outperform most weapons when done right.

I'll return to your short Fallout 2LP for a sec, RK47.

Majestic47 said:
Tag Skill: Melee, Outdoorsman, Sneak. Basically....uh...a desert ranger.

Made it till the end with 26 HP. Ants were completely avoided. Only some manage to harm me. A few persisted to the final chamber. I dispatch them easily with my spear. But then...

Looks like we failed Speech check. But must we fight unarmed? I tagged melee, you know!

Fuck.

This game's too hard. I'm out. :(
One thing a melee fighter can do in such a LP is agree to fight but instead of doing so right away, retreat to the previous chamber, grab his spear from the chest in which Cameron placed all of his loot and fight with that.

Fair? No. What it is, however, is proof that the player is able to improvise, take advantage of his surroundings and do whatever it takes to get the job done, even if it means breaking some rules and playing dirty.

A good way to show that the Chosen One is bright and resourceful enough to actually be able to save the village, I'd say.

That crafty bastard of a game.

Another possibility would be "A fair fist fight? Well, well yeah, of course, Cameron, dear buddy, just give me a few minutes to stretch a little (and hide this spear in the corner of the chamber to pick it up in a moment), aaand done, let's dance."
