Let's Play Fallout - VD left, never to return. (Completed)

[Black]

You can't be Batman in a post-apocalyptic wasteland!

 

[Morkar Left]

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

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.

 

[lightbane]

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 ).

 

[Radisshu]

Best Fallout LP? Possibly.

 

[Brother None]

Well, that was sad.

And very Fallout.

 

[spekkio]

A lone horseman of the post-apocalypse?

 

[Grim Monk]

Great LP.

To bad about the Adytum mess, Hardened Power Armor is out of the question now...

 

[RK47]

Death of Subtlety

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.

I could've saved more. Should've. If I had went in with the Blades instead...

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

Just a bunch of gangers...probably trying to score a quick buck.

Get him, boys.

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.

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

Another shot hit the shoulder plate.

Not an option, guys.

No damage. C'mon Brian, kill'em already.

You can't hurt me. But I *can* kill you. So why don't you just step aside this once?

No.

Don't make me angry.

Keep yapping, we could use the target practice.

You wouldn't like me when I'm angry...

JUST DIE ALREADY!

You asked for this..

Take it.

Have another.

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

KILL HIM!

Violence.

Your weapons are ineffective. My armor is impervious....

But yours...

Oh gawd, oh gawd-

...are *not*.

Another five lives taken.

You could've done it earlier, Brian. Wasting time and half a page of updates.

I was...reflecting. It will not happen again, T-51b.

Uhh...what did you call me?

Unit T-51b, Operation Majestic Warfare commencing.

Whatever floats your boat, Brian.

Do refer to me as Vince from now on.

Ahh...the herd is here...Tis' time to conduct their final rites.

So..uh..Bri-Vince, what's the plan? Are we putting on disguises?

T-51b, apply full chemicals injection. Commence mission recording.

Acknowledged, Operator...uh..why did I just-

Commencing contact with biological targets - verdict to be declared.

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

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

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

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

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

KA-CHAK!

Terminated. Engaging secondary targets.

You dare strike the Children?! The Master's Fury will be great!

I have fury of my own to share.

I alone shall suffice.

Be purged!

What have we ever done to you-

You were blind, now I shall let you see.

Jesus. What flipped your switch, Brian?

Commencing entry into enemy compound.

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...

Where might I meet this Master?

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 -

- *NONE* of you are safe.

....this is getting a little bit too extreme.

 

[witek]

death

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.

 

[lightbane]

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.

 

[Morkar Left]

Full narrative in action

 

[Hellraiser]

All is now clear. Brian will purge the wastland, unify humanity and lead it once again into the stars forging the Imperium of Man.

 

[RK47]

Paint it Black

Music: Paint It Black

GET HIM! TAKE DOWN THE BLASPHEMER!

Like moths to a flame...

Uh...better start busting out the cans of whoop-ass, Bri-aww-shucks-Vince!

Remain calm. The enemy only has two avenues of approach between these two rows of seats, this temple shall be their graveyard.

Thunk.

Clack.

Rally with me, brothers! Take him down with numbers!

You are surrounded, Sinner! Repent and your death shall be quick!

No.

Tis' our chance! CHARGE!

Thunk.

HA! I REMAIN STANDING! My brothers' deaths gives me strength!

Surround him! Strip his armor!

You wouldn't dare detonate anything this close! It's over, blasphemer.

Click.

What?

Problem?

You-you...are..

Invincible against the likes of you.

Avenge the fallen! YAhhhhhhhhh!

Spears?

L.O.L.

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

Ka-chak.

Ahhh, the master protects me!!!!

Your turn.

It's over.

Whoa, we got a runner...

What's wrong, Children?

Stay behind and play.

Chak-chak-chak.

Ammo expended. Disposing weaponry.

Eh...Vince. One broad behind ya.

Acknowledged. Switching to plasma.

Be purged.

Targets neutralized. Sifting through the remnants.

This looks important...

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

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

Ascension complete. Target spotted.

One of the Brothers sent me up here.

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

Down.

And that is it...I shall..

Oh. Company.

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

Hmmm. Acquiring on-site weaponry.

This looks bad, Vince. Two more Nightkins are arriving!

T-51b, commence Heavy Weapons Training Module.

You're not thinking of using the flam-

It is..effective.

Ugh...so, you too possess the flame of purification.

Let's see whose flame shines the brightest!

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

Enemy artefact acquired. No sign of the Master. Proceeding to the enemy's vault.

T-51b, area scan.

Uh...it's dark...dusty...and....lots of shelves.

How (Perception) of you.

Dead end. What now?

This wall is hollow...but where is the switch?

Let's keep looking.

In the brightest day, in the blackest night...

No evil shall escape my sight.

Boom.

....cool.

Let those who worship evil's might..

Beware my power, Green Plasma's light!

Nice shot! You burned the smaller mutie!

Be pure!

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

Uh,oh...lots. LOTS of them.

Tactical Retreat initiated.

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

Retreat halted. Counter-attack commencing.

Successful. Retreating to favourable position.

Looks like this is the last stand.

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

Threat level upgrading, deploying Plasma Grenade.

Phew. That was too close. Too fucking close. Oh, wow. Guess what, combat software upgrades? What are we upping?

Heavy Weaponry, minor Energy Weapon adjustment as well.

Done, give them hell, Vince.

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

.....that was.....so...beautiful.

The way is clear.

The beast is within...I shall paint it black.

 

[SoupNazi]

Morpheus sent me with a message for the Master.

Awesome

 

[Thor Kaufman]

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

5/5

 

[Jaedar]

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

 

[Black]

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.

 

[Morkar Left]

Some nice screenshots in there!

 

[Brother None]

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

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.

Spoiler

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.

 

[Ovg]

5/5

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

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

Your bonus larping is .

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.

 

[Hellraiser]

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.

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.

 

[Majestic47]

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.

 

[Muro]

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

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.

 

[RK47]

The door was locked. I cannot retrieve my spear. I tried.

 

[Muro]

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."
