Fallout 3, The Blogsperiment: Raiders, Explosions, Loot
Greetings. After a brief holiday hiatus the blogsperiment has returned. When last we left off, Stabitha was approaching the super duper mart, in search of experience and a serviceable weapon beyond the sledgehammer stolen out of the sheriff’s house. More on that later.
The super duper mart proved to be fairly easy with a melee character, mostly because enemy raiders like to charge face-first into sledgehammers. After I took some hits I headed to the back room and turned the protectron loose on what was left. It was only after all of this that I learned of Stabitha’s fatal weakness; shotguns.
The last raiders had a combat shotgun (blame my meteoric ascension to level 4), and carved me a new asshole with it. With a a lot of stimpacks and a little patience I managed to bring him down, but damn. Shotguns hurt. From now on I carry a hunting rifle with me. No, I can’t hit for crap with it with my small gun skill of 20, but I can still manage a sneak attack.
Anyway, raiders all dead, it was time to collect my real reward for fighting through this crap. In the back of the store I also found two laser pistols, which I managed to cobble together a functioning ranged weapon that uses my chraracter’s skill. Huzzah.
5. The trip back to the sadistic witch was uneventful. She rewarded me with some food and acted like nothing had happened. Nothing! After I go out and get shot full of holes trying to follow her braindead research project. And while I’m swimming in old ammunition, the batteries for my laser pistol are dwindling. Of course Moira charges more for those than anything else. Bitch
Her next insane scheme involves me taking on a lethal dose of radiation and telling her how it feels. I’m going to take a rest, then tell her just where she can shove her stupid book and her idiot research
[DANGER] Pipboy 3000 has detected hazardous radiation exposure to user! Please close journal v1.9 a and seek immediate medical attention.
[EMERGENCY] Pipboy 3000 has detected critical levels of radiation. Seek immediate medical attention. Would you like to browse various styles of wigs and dentures in the vault network outlet? [Y/N]
[!] .Pipboy 3000 has detected fatal radiation levels. Please make peace with your chosen diety and prepare for the inevitable. Thank you for choosing Pipboy.
Or the lunatic will shove me into the irradiated pond at the edge of town and let enough rads flow into the crack in my head that she can conduct her research. Moira said it was for the good of the wasteland the whole time. I know what needs to happen now. I’ll help her with her quest, because she’ll help me.
Then I’ll blow her head off.
Megaton seems to be designed to be pillaged in many ways. In a matter of hours one can accumulate a vast amount of wealth from the city, then detonate it quite happily. My only real obstacle in my looting has been Deputy Steel. See, Simms’ key doesn’t just open his house and access to a bobblehead, it also gets you into the armory, which is full of guns and angry robot. Angry robots can be quite painful even at the mighty level of four, which is why I bring grenades for these situations. Apparently the townspeople didn’t hear the multiple explosions in the giant metal building in their town, or thought better of asking, because sadistic little Moira was happy to buy back the contents of the armory. No laser weapons in here, though. I’ll have to do some more thorough hunting for those.
Until next time.
