Let's Play: Fallout

[Brennan]

After being bored for a few hours, and noticing that I had Fraps and can take screenshots, I decided to do a Let's Play of Fallout.

Well, nothing much to say here, it's the tital screen in it's "Glory".

Moving on.

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-06-3010-21-15-62.jpg
Here's the default character, good ol' Maxwell Stoner, but we don't want him, so we go to "Create Character", and we see this.

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-06-3010-21-44-31.jpg
It's up to you guys to select the Name, Gender, and Age of this character (from 16-35), whoever says whichever gender first, the character will be that gender, then try to create a name that matches the gender. I'm not gonna create a male Christina character, or a female Robert character.

Go!

[Jiro]

Well let's go with a well rounded 20 years old? I don't know if age affects anything in this game though.

[Psychotic]

It should be a dude and his name should be Hugo.

[Jiro]

I'm in support of Hugo being Hugo. Time to roll for stats :D?

[Brennan]

Ok, so the character is a Male, 20 years of age, and named Hugo.

What'll his stats be? (The one's in the top left, strength and stuff, I'll have to type up a list of what each optional trait does.)

[Aerith's Knight]

I say high charisma. There should be a hooker somewhere in this game, at least there was in fallout 3. >_>

Otherwise, put it all in steroids.. I mean strength.

[Brennan]

List of what all optional traits do in attachment.
and which three tag skills should I pick?

[Bunny]

Melee weapons, barter, and gambling. Put 2 points in strength and 3 into charisma.

[Vermachtnis]

Take everything out of Int. Funny stuff happens when your an imbecile! :bounce:

[Madame Adequate]

Hilarious as low int is, it would probably neuter the LP and not show the game's ridiculous scope off so well.

Agility, Strength, Endurance. Tag Unarmed, Doctor, and Outdoorsman. Take weird random encounters out with your bare hands. Chem Reliant and... hmmm, Heavy Handed?

Basically make someone who can punch a Super Mutant so hard it explodes.

That sounds interesting, I never really tried a melee Fallout character before.

[Aerith's Knight]

I usually just grab a scoped magnum, encorporate VATS and go nuts.

Or cheat and have fun with Fat Boy.

[Madame Adequate]

Yeah but we're talking about Fallout here, not Post-Apocalyptic Oblivion :p

@ Brennan: It's pretty tough, but absolutely worth it. Few things are as satisfying as being able to deal as much damage with your bare hands as others can with guns. Also you can get a LOT of attacks out at higher levels, once you get various AP adding and AP efficiency stuff.

Be prepared to get shot in the back by Ian a lot, though :(

[Psychotic]

I suggest you go with whatever Mr. MILF tells you to do. If there was a Nobel Prize for Fallout, he would win it.

Really interested in seeing how this turns out. I'm someone who has only played 3 (and I assume lots of others are the same) - and for the record, that comic AK posted is brilliant - so it'll be bitchin' to see how it all started.

Go here (http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/fallout) and rectify your failings :mad2:

(Best Not Funny in years btw)

Edit: Ahahah that's STILL wordfiltered?

[Psychotic]

Yeah I was thinking of getting it from gog depending on how this turns out.

Witness, the birth of Hugo.

And now, to continue!


Now, meet this old coot.
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-06-3018-31-45-32.jpg
Scary, and looks like a pedo, no? Well, he's not (hopefully). he's the "Overseer" of Vault 13. He tells you some stuff about how you have 4-5 months to find a chip for the Water Purification system, and how he chose you to go out into the outside world, woo. So, you have 150 days to save the Vault (Or not :plotting:). Better get going.

[Madame Adequate]

Hooray! Now, get addicted to chems! :D

[Aerith's Knight]

Go drink 20 bottles of nuclear cola and say goodbye to your sperm count.

Good ideas, but that may be saved for future reference.

Meet Hugo, his only problem is...

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-06-3019-19-41-92.jpg
He'd rather's a Shotgun or Rifle than a 10mm Pistol, oh well.

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-06-3019-19-56-59.jpg
Hugo tries to say hello to the rat, but that sonovabitch bit him! What does he do now?

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-06-3019-19-59-07.jpg
Falcon Punch!

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-06-3019-20-25-68.jpg
Hugo finds out that there are many rats the hard way.

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-06-3019-21-41-95.jpg
Hugo: Of course, the Overseer picks me to do this God-forsaken task of going to get a water chip, and of course it's gonna be like a fricken RPG where you have to run to and fro places to find...

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-06-3019-21-47-75.jpg
Hugo: ...LIGHT?! What is that amazing object called that they installed into space to create light?

And here's the world map.
navigation is done by clicking on the map, or by clicking on the destination on the right.

While heading to Vault 15.
Hugo encounters a city,
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-06-3019-22-20-60.jpg
Vault 15 is to the east, but should he check on the town first?

[Psychotic]

You bet he should. I think Hugo is decidedly hatless, and this must be changed immediately. A town seems like the best place to acquire some stylish, yet practical, headgear.

A pimp-hat, perhaps?

[Psychotic]

That would be perfect. He could pimp slap the Overseer when he returns.

[Vermachtnis]

While you're there, you should totally march into town and find the sickliest, littlest kid and show him who is the main character in this game with a swift punch or two to the head. You even get a spiffy new title and there's no way something you do this early can have any negative repercussions later. :plotting:

[Madame Adequate]

One does hope he has kids enabled!

[Brennan]

One does hope he has kids enabled!

Uploading to Photobucket right now, and I have a, erm, kid bashing happening in here, but Photobucket's being a
:simon::simon::simon::simon::simon: right now, it's slow as hell.

[Psychotic]

If the kid has a hat, you must claim it as yours. Even if it is comically undersized.

The poor bastard in the end of this update doesn't.

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-06-3021-32-02-57.jpg
Hugo feels like he needs to get a nice hat, his poor head's cooking in the heat!

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-06-3021-36-01-81.jpg
Say what? I need help?

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-06-3021-36-04-03.jpg
What's this button do?

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-06-3021-36-15-54.jpg
Because everyone would probably ask. (Ignore the R, my screenshot button is "Insert", and it puts a R, I deleted it before I asked)

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-06-3021-36-19-37.jpg
This man obviously never heard of a Man to Hand relationship.

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-06-3021-44-19-40.jpg
This man doesn't have a hat, but he has Bottle Caps, and a rope (not pictured)!

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-06-3021-44-33-59.jpg
Hugo leaves the town, and heads to Vault 15, but there's only a shack.

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-06-3021-45-26-75.jpg
Clever Vault-Tecs.

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-06-3021-45-41-68.jpg
Another cave infested with rats.

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-06-3021-46-20-51.jpg
And a Mole Rat.

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-06-3021-46-36-10.jpg
Which falls to the power of Hugo's fist's of steel, and brass, or brassy steel, or steely brass, or steel with a hint of brass, or brass with a hint of steel. Ugh, I'm confused.

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-06-3021-47-22-25.jpg
The extent of the usefulness of the rope, I shoulda named Hugo Raoul Duke, thus, he wouldn't need a rope to climb down.

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-06-3021-55-06-25.jpg
I skipped the previous room, in where I got the leather armor, and another rope to climb down this elevator.

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-06-3021-56-34-87.jpg
Level Up!

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-06-3021-57-12-42.jpg
And an older version of V.A.T.S.? Woo! I like the groin option, but the rats have a high ball tolerence.

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-06-3022-17-07-68.jpg
Hugo finds no water chip, and heads back to do something his inner self told him to do.

*OPTIONAL*
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-06-3022-20-22-34.jpg
Hugo: Hello, little child.
Child: I wanna grow up to be like Bob the Builder!
Hugo: Well, Bob the Bulder...

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-06-3022-20-23-18.jpg
Hugo: ...CAN SUCK IT!

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-06-3022-20-25-51.jpg
Hugo: Oh crap, I think I killed him. *Runs*
*END OPTIONAL*

*After loading a prev save*

Hugo recieved some information that there's a town to the South, should he head there?

[Aerith's Knight]

Look at the stove again.

[Iceglow]

Once I finish the two fights I have left in the Space marine campaign of Dark Crusade I might just have to fire this baby up on my laptop ALSO anyone with Vista can definitely run this game by setting the game to run in win95 compat mode.

[Psychotic]

A town to the south? Surely a hat would be there!

[Brennan]

A town to the south? Surely a hat would be there!

Off we go, then.

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-07-0109-44-30-39.jpg
We head south to find...

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-07-0109-44-37-86.jpg
Junktown, the town's name pretty much sums up everything.

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-07-0109-55-51-83.jpg
I wonder...

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-07-0109-55-56-69.jpg
Damn you, self-conscience, DAMN YOOOOU!!!

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-07-0109-57-28-65.jpg
This guy talks about human body-parts, and has an ice chest in front of him, but he yells at me when I try to see...

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-07-0109-58-47-04.jpg
Hey, Psychotic, you thinking what I'm thinkin?

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-07-0110-09-12-36.jpg
This guy doesn't have a hat...
Hugo: DAMMIT!!!
...but he is attacked by a bandit, and he will let me have anything in his store for free if I catch Gizmo!

[Aerith's Knight]

Steal that uninteresting looking box, maybe there's a puppy inside.

[Brennan]

Steal that uninteresting looking box, maybe there's a puppy inside.

It doesn't. :cry:

[Psychotic]

Anything in his store? Ha, what a sucker. Catch this "Gizmo" (be careful about feeding him after midnight) and then go back to the store, and claim either the floor or the walls as yours.

[Iceglow]

I wanna see you punch a death clawwwww! (wait...do deathclaws appear in Fallout 1 or were they in Fallout 2 and later?)

[Brennan]

I can't update the LP until Monday, maybe late Sunday, sorry guys.

[Iceglow]

*waits impatiently*

[Madame Adequate]

I wanna see you punch a death clawwwww! (wait...do deathclaws appear in Fallout 1 or were they in Fallout 2 and later?)

They're in FO1, down in LA.

[Iceglow]

I wanna see you punch a death clawwwww! (wait...do deathclaws appear in Fallout 1 or were they in Fallout 2 and later?)

They're in FO1, down in LA.

Thanks for the memory jog now Cougar stay with me and we'll fly it in together... I wanna see a deathclaw get puncheddddd!

[Vermachtnis]

Are you still doing this?

[Brennan]

After a bit of searching, Hugo finally found Gizmo's, which turns out to be a casino.

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-07-0710-48-40-26.jpg
And this must be Gizmo.

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-07-0710-48-47-68.jpg
Hugo: :barf:

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-07-0710-49-44-25.jpg
Gizmo tells me to kill Killian, and other info that I need for him to get in trouble.
Hugo: How can he even smile?!

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-07-0710-51-00-81.jpg
Because anything else would be useless (Punching FTW :kaofight2:)

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-07-0710-51-18-65.jpg
Hugo: Mwahahahaha!

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-07-0710-51-26-18.jpg
Hugo: Damn straight, they owe me a lot!, I had to look at that ugly sonovabitch until I... :barf:, goddamn mental image.

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-07-0710-51-47-40.jpg
Level Up!

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-07-0710-53-00-84.jpg
Hell, yeah!

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-07-0710-54-33-60.jpg
This is the battle, pretty much. Gizmo grabs a gun from his desk, and shoots us. (Surprised? I though he was paralyzed from all that weight.)

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d152/Tidus1000/falloutw2009-07-0710-56-52-35.jpg
You gained 600 exp and may the bastard rest in pieces, genius!

[Psychotic]

Could we skin Gizmo and use his blubber as protection against Nuclear Winter?
