This looks cool. I'm just going to say that it's the Fallout series, not Fallout 3 series.

oh i was forgetting, we also have 5 at perception.
so, at 1 PM on this time forums (which should be 19.00 at MY time here in italy) i will begin the challenge.


change of plans. Beginning game now due to night dining out.

So let's start with the Following:

1) wastelanders traits are Wild wasteland, and (i dunno what happened but cannibalistic didn't show up, maybe because of stats) Four-eyes, so -1 to perception until i grab a pair of glasses!
2) stats are what i have decided, so we have 7 strength, 7 endurance, 6 agility and 5 for all the rest.
3) tag skill were made the following: Explosive, Repair, and melee.
4) i have dumped away EVERYTHING obtainable by the dlcs at the beginning (be it caravan pack or the like).
5) the rules are that if i die, i start from scratch again with another one, possibly with different tag skills-attributes-talents. Game difficulty is set to very hard, Hardcore mode enabled, two enhancing difficulty mods installed.
6) i'll try and make it rp.

and to sum up everything and make a Meaningfull double post, here is the beginning of the game...in rp:

The night was coming to an end, a far away gunshot was heard.
It was supposed to be a simple delivery.
Three mens were in front of him, one more digging a grave, his own grave.
i am just a courier, why?
one of them wore a checkered cloth, the other two seemed great khans.
what did i do wrong? i just had to deliver the platinum chip.
But life is unfair.
A gunshot, then silence.

While fadeing in and out of conscience, a noise of mechanical buzzes and moving wheels.
brrr bzzz...howdy hoo...
i give in to the blood loss, the pain, and the darkness.

i start seeing a light...i slowly open my eyes
take it slowly, boy.
somebody is speaking to me...i try to stand on the bed...i'm in a house...i'm still alive.
lucky for you Victor found you out, you were still alive even after the gunshot. Take it slowly now, can you tell me your name?
i stagger for a moment, to take breath, the light is nearly blazeing...and i don't have glasses...maybe they are still in the cemetery...however i look for a minute around me...
chemistry sets...a bed...it's not an hospital...but then it's probably a clinic...the guy seems old...
your name pal, what's your name?
my name...is Alex. (simple name)
it's not the name i would have chosen for you, but still it's a name
what? why would he want to chose a name for me?
now try and stand up, then we will see your attributes near the machine
attributes? machinery? shit no, no, not so fast you old geezer!
uurkk i comment, nearly pukeing as i'm pulled to my feet...i stagger a little, then i realize i can stand and walk...albeit slowly...i look at him as he walks past me and next to the machine...i look around...a sarsaparilla crate...i remember when i was a kid drinking a couple...maybe...i realize with shock i can't recall much of my past events...just my name...the rest is just pain...
urgh
come on sonny boy, we don't have all day... i move to the machine, and after the checkup, he walks to another room.

the chance i was waiting for...i'm naked. If he wants to vivisect me or anything, i better grab something from the room.
I saw it before, on the crate, it was broken, but i remove the dirt with my fingers, and there it is again, a 9mm machinegun.
i have no 9mm ammo though.
I look at the chemist set, but i wouldn't know where to start.
i look around and in a metal box i strike the jackpot: laser pistol+ammo.
and stimpaks. 3 of them.
and antivenom...
everything is useful in this hellhole known as the Mojave desert...why i consider it a hellhole, though, it's hard to remember.
what's takeing you so long?
trying to keep myself on my feets. i comment. i dunno if he believes me or not, yet he doesn't come to check. So i go to him, with the weaponry hidden on myself...where is the rest of my stuff? i can't remember if i even had anything else.
now let's do a little game. i say a word, you say another which you think best suits the first...
after a couple of psychiatric things, it seems i'm just a little mad, but nothing strange.
he starts moving to the door, and while he goes for the door...i go for the rest of the house.

I grab a knife, food and drinks from the fridge, even the pilot light of the oven.
then i see caps on the shelf next to the door, i quickly grab them, and the prewat hat, he doesn't seem to mind...or maybe he's near sighted.
here is your stuff...i tried checking for documents. it seems you're a mojave courier. you should go towards primm...but do to your amnesy you might die before...go and asak of sunny at the saloon, she might teach you useful stuff.
i see...thanks for takeing care of my stuff... i have a vault 21 suit...and he gives me a pipboy too. i never had one before.
i had stimpaks, and weaponry of some sort...nothing bad...but the 8 dynamites should be plenty handy...it seems i know something of explosives...good.

When i open the door, the light of the sun nearly blinds me. I move a few uncertain steps, and while the door is closed behind me, i look and see a strange one wheeled robot moving along the road...he's giving me his shoulders, so i look casually at the doctors mailbox, and grab a magazine of explosives.
i might be a cleptomaniac...but it turns out that grabbing and stealing is useful and needed. survivance of the fittest. and of the smartest.
the robot is called victor...and displays a strange cowboyish face.
Howdy partner! it's good to see you rise and shine!
were you...the one who save me?
indeed! you were just going to kick the bucket, but i came to the rescue
i see...thank you this just saved you from being salvage wrecked. i think slowly putting the dynamite back in the pocket.
not a problem.
did you see were those guys went?
i'm not sure partner, but they might be headed to vegas.
i see...well...i'll ask around
you do that partner! have a nice day!
yeah...you too.

and while the robot departs, i see the inn sign of the saloon...i walk towards it, the crackling broken asphalt beneath my feets, the woosh of the hot wind and the moving hay balls.
A farmer is cropping some maize. he doesn't wave at me, so i'll steal his crop later when he's gone.
as i walk towards the saloon and everytime Victor gives me his back, a steal something blindly from the crates outside.
sunset sarsaparilla, fruits, everything useful. Nobody sees me...or at least, i don't see nobody seeing me.
i finally reach the saloon, and enter. inside, a female woman with a barking dog catches my attention.
if only because i have gone without a woman for too long.
But i can't have a go at it right now.
I should first bunker back up in shape...and as i ask her of a certain sunny, i discover it's her, and we go to the back of the saloon to make practice with weaponry. I quickly grab another magazine while she's giving her back to me, this one is about repairing stuff...useful.
i also grab the Pole cue.
i don't know why, maybe a voice suggested it.

in the back, sunny hand me a varmint rifle and some ammo.
The first silly thing which comes to my mind is head shotting her and rapeing her dead headless body.
I can't even imagine WHY i'm thinking this. Yet i realize i'm being ask to shoot at the empty bottles.
I shoot thrice.
I hit twice.
and i score a nice little date with sunny, cheyenne her dog, and a bunch of geckos by the water source.

Lucky me.

We reach the geckos and i stealthly make my way, keeping my back against the hard rock formation.
When i have one in my sight, i aim for the head and shoot. Even if i hit him, one shot is not enough. The second one does the trick and his head explodes in a gory mass.
he wasn't alone, but the second didn't see me, nor hear me. so i backshot him and then finished him off as he was running jaw opens towards me...one day i'll throw a grenade in one of these bastards mouths...and see them explode KABOOM.
the thought makes me laugh. obviously Sunny didn't help me out, so when she says there's more ahead...i let her go, following her and letting HER take care of everything. I earn 50 caps, easily. And i get to grab a cleaver from a dead idiot, who moved to close to the geckos.
i'm a little thirsty, so i drink the water from the well with a bucket...and my eyes see in the bushes...A SHOVEL.
from a Pool cue to a shovel...i kick ass.

*STONK* *STONK*
i said, i can teach you how to cook something nice.
ah...sorry, i wasn't paying attention...
i know...you're shoveling geckos and chopping off their limbs...
well...meat is meat.
yes...so, as i was saying, grab some xanders roots by the old school and some flowers from the cemetery, and i'll show you something nice.
your...watch it. i think before turning and walking back...a little grin on my face. i must absolutely stop having this nasty thoughts. as i think about this, i grab and eat a fruit, moisty and soothing, and fresh. I feel better actually.
maybe the after taste is just a little bit radioactive, but i can live with it. many people live with it.
i never saw a xander root before...so i actually enter the school...
bzzz bzzz
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! STAY AWAY STAY AWAYYYYYY i scream jumping back when i see those monstruosities of giant mantis! how can they make insect SO BIG!? for the love of god! i smash them, and i smash them harder.
DIE DIE DIE DIE DIEDIEDIEDIEDIE!!!! in a fit, i run out, and fall on the ground. Lucky for me i stumbled upon xanders roots. So i grab three and run the hell away...yes. It seems i'm afraid of insects.
didn't flinch for human-eating geckos but scared shitless of mantis...it's just...they're ICKY.

For the flowers, i face a terrible challenge.
As the radio music from the pipboy starts singing "blue moon", a radioactive scoprion emerges.
You have chosen the wrong enemy!
Beware it's poisonous STING!
oh yeah...let's keep it cool... *TONK* *TONK*
as good as dead.
wait...i used the pool cue?
seems like it, it's near broken and the shovel is still perfect. Shovel is to be kept for dangerous enemi... i realize i'm speaking to myself. So maybe i'm actually mad.

when i climb the hill...bloatflies.
A hell of a lot of them.
i mean...it's just ONE DAY. i was SHOT THE PREVIOUS NIGHT.  and there weren't bloatflies. or at least, not as big as my torso.
i don't want to waste time, so i make a dash for the flower. But then i realize one thing...bloatflies...can shoot their stingers...lot's of them.
I run ducking and rolling down the hill as those insects throw their stingers at me. They have a really horrible aim...thanking god.
i make a little run towards Sunny once more. On the way i check the mail next to a destroyed house, and grab a...tire iron? it's a smashy smashy thing, so i keep it.
and you never know. One might actually end up changing a weel in his lifetime...right?

I reach her, and she teaches me...how to make a "healing powder".
with this you should be all set.
yes...thank you
why don't you go back in the saloon? there's the barwoman who wants to meet you
you know i don't have much of a...
she can make it worth your while.
I'm going. Right now.

*and here is where i stopped for the moment*...
i need a screenshot taker, (not fraps).

Didn't new vegas capture screenshots on its own? One can resize them easily in paint.

i found the key...and now another update!.
...this one with screenshots.

The title is...

The beautiful Shade, and the beasts. And a Horn-stard


I was looking in awe at my marvelous Shovel...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
when i realized i had yet to go back to town...i started walking back, but a young man stopped me
Please, please! you have to help me! my fiance is being attacked by the geckos! she's up the broken radio tower to the right.
I was a defeater of geckos...what could worry me? and furthermore, maybe the fiancee could have been a hot one...
i made my way with my varmint rifle, towards the broken tower. the sun was no longer high in the sky, so it wasn't hot and unbearable...the first gecko went down with a shot to the head and one to the chest...easy work.

I skinned him for the hide and then made my way up a rocky formation, to have the upper terrain against two geckos.
i hope the lady is hot. i murmured, as i had to use one of my best dynamite throwings...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

you know what they say..."carpe diem" savour the moment
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
no need to say that the entrails were seen flying for a while.
i walked more up sneaking...and then i stopped.
I recoiled just a little.
then i turned my back and started running back up the rocky formation.
FIVE GECKOS.
FIVE.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD FIVE.
from up there, i manage to dispatch one, as the other four went back.
While strangely two of them disappeared on top of the cliff, the other two kept themselves near what i saw being a bunch of corpses...maybe the girl was dead. Maybe she had expensive things on her.
That was the only thing which might have made it worth my while.
I crawled back down, and one of the two got the bait of me waveing, and began running towards me, jaws open.
I shot him in the head TWICE. Crippling it...but yet he still moved! it was ONLY at the FOURTH shot that he finally DIED.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
and not before leaving me a nice, juicy...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

BITE

it hurts...hell if it HURTS...where is the sarsaparilla, where? *gulp gulp*
phewwww...three more to go...pheewwww.
i made bait again, this time, however...
shitshitshitshit the gun is not loading fast enough!
*swapping to SHOVEL MODE*
DIEEEE YOU FREAKISH MUTANT DIE! *TONK TONK TONK TOOOONK*
AND STAY DEAD! *TONK*

strangely the other two geckos weren't sprinting towards me...i started climbing the cliff when i realized why...and began laughing histerically.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

BEARTRAPS! they died because of beartraps!
ahahaha...hey...wait a second... firstly, i found in a footlocker bottle caps, and secondly, i realized there was something strange on the cliff. a men with balloons, who i strangely recalled being called "johnny" more than him though, the fact that he was dead, and his equipment, which i greedily claimed for more protection was better than mine, and a PAIR OF GLASSES! FINALLY I SEE AGAIN!
Finally i can see...yes, i see again! *insert final seconds of dragon age 2 music trailer*
and as i turn to leave i notice a fridge, which albeit being in a strange place is what makes me open it and grab food.
and that's when the "boyfriend" turns up...
AH! i'm sorry i lied! i just wanted you to take care of geckos
i see...did sunny ask you to and you didn't want to do it?
hell no! i just want the stash of bottle caps!
i see...other MY DEAD BODY
He begins shooting, but at his second shot of pistol i'm already in VATS.
i use the varmint rifle, aiming for his weapon-arm. I cripple it at the first shot, he drops the weapon and get's out a Tire iron.
he doesn't get close enough, that with my second shot i cripple his leg. He begins running away screaming "mommy". i shoot him twice in the back, and when he crutches to beg for forgiveness i shoot him one more in the torso.
he comes running at me desperately, and thats where i finish him a hit to the heart.
all in all i grab his pistol, his ammo, and his SUIT.
good. I leave his cold dead body to the wasteland, and walk back to town...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

the barmaid is in her fifties maybe, i dunno, but yet she is not my type.
There seems to be a problem, but me showing up armed and with dynamite on my waist makes the men crawl back away.
I'm strong and dangerous, baby, you have to admit it
stop the macho attitude, or i'm throwing you out of my head
what? asks the barmaid
nothing, nothing, sunny said i should say hi, i'm Alex
nice to meet you, i'm Trudy...
and then she rants about the problems and about the powder gangers, which hold all the explosives. And the courier who is hiding in the abandoned gas station.
just up the road.
And...you have a broken radio miss? no worries, i fix it in a split second for caps, fame, and i barter every useless thing i managed to salvage (even the pilot light) for two magazines (they will save lives, mark my word!) and clean water.
I love clean water, don't you also love clean water?
when i go out it's already dark, and i search for a place to crash for a while and clean my thoughts...and maybe my head who is a mess...once more.
Why do they always aim for the head this sick bastards??

Doc patches me up, on second thoughts, for fifty caps. Considering everything i stole from him, it's nice.
I then realize...victor has a shack.
the robot, victor, has a shack with a cozy bed.
and that's where i go sleeping for an hour.
Just a quick nap, and while i'm inside and victor isn't...scrap metal, .22LR ammo, and all that is good and useful.
while BLUE MOON is played once more on the radio, hell, aren't there OTHER songs!? i decide to go back in the bar...and i find that noone is in there except Sunny, who's reading something, on the other side of the bar...
i quietly move towards the storage area, and take all i find useful...unluckily i have no skill in lockpick for the safe...and for the computer...how could i forget the magazines at victors shack!?
(i hadn't dumped them, i just had forgotten i HAD THEM with me to open the safe through the pc)
i then empty the cash register, and grab the...magnum from the glass. then i quick tail out of there.

Towards the school...
Sunny told me about the safe in there.
I'm going to open it.
it was just a quick glance before, but if i recall correctly, i did see a programmers digest and a pc...on the shelf...right like the pc in the storage area and the magazine i have in my pocket
shit, they messed with my brain pretty hard!
are you surprised, they did shoot it, and then bite it.
hell. it's like i'm retarded.
you're not alone bro...not alone. still, true to my words, on the way, i raze the guy's farming plot. So he will learn to WAVE TO ME.
i enter the school, luckily i had in the fit of rage killed everything ICKY.

It's easy to find the password.
Not resting, nor waiting...but both have 3 real letters...easy, it's Opening! and with a good click it's opened, the safe is open and i grab it's contents.
Now i feel happy.
And satisfied.
I'll go crash a little more on victors bed. till morning comes...and everything goes fine...for the first day.

Since I was the jerk who brought it up, you can save yourself a lot of frustration by using the grenade rifle when you find one. The best source of grenades early going is Johnson Nash in Primm.
Logged
And then, they will be weaponized. Like everything in this game, from kittens to babies, everything is a potential device of murder.
So if baseless speculation is all we have, we might as well treat it like fact.

I'm sorry for the mixup, but you cant actually get cannibalism as the first few traits.  You get it when you're around level three our four, and its awesome.

i didn't get it as the second, that's why i grabbed Faster Reload.
(i thought about intensive training, then went: REMEMBER THE GECKOOO) so reloading faster is better. >.>

you just wouldn't know how much it's easy to enter vats, shoot with the grenade rifle WHILE THE MONSTER GET'S CLOSER.
and be "shit shit shit DON'T SHOOT NOW IT'S TOO CLOSE BOOOM" ... at least, it's easy for me.
XD

i'm going on for the next update.

Breaking the Fourth skull.
And the fifth wall.
And the mines...not the digging ones


i wake up and realise that at 4 am nobody is going to be around here.
I go to the abandoned gas station, and realize he has no money on him, or at least, that's what he tells me. i agree to help, if only for Couriership.
alone against six i'll die, let's ask around... and that's what i do.
First off is sunny, she agrees immediately...even too fast. Maybe she's eager to die, or has a cancer related issue which will slowly kill her and seeks easy death.
i seriously doubt that's the case.
ohh shut up. Let the voice in our head speak a little more.
you mean the narrator
details. little details.

Alex then reaches to trudy, who doesn't want to hear about it...at first.
now in this magazine it says..."thou shall help thou in need"
i didn't understand but I'm IN!
easier than i thought.
and this, guys and girls, is WHY magazine are used.
then it's a salesman weekly edition to convince the general store keeper...who last night has been robbed...but who knows by whom.
maybe i sleepshoplift.
i doubt it.
easy pete's dynamite...is easy to get, but i did have the magazine if need arised!
So, i go tell ringo we are all set, and sunny comes by to give me the dynamite...i feel powerful.
and that's why i let the other two go forth BEFORE me.

How nice...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Just look at them, running all happily to their possible deaths...

i let them go, and only when the gunshots are already heard and bullets are flying i come by...as the HIDDEN SARSAPARILLA CRATE OF THROWING DYNAMITE DOOM!
Ehi joe cobb! i've got something for you! the hidden sarsaparilla crate of throwing dynamite doom has a gift for you!!! maybe i need a shorter battle name. like HSCOTDD! ...it's unpronounceable.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

needless to say, we win, thanks only to my dynamite. They all blew up in pieces...litterally...everywhere.
I think one ended up on the saloons roof...well, the vultures will be happy, and so am i...as i scavenge EVERYTHING.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Everything.

except the underwears, really, they are only males...i might have made a thougth about it in case of females.

and off to Primm i will go! let's look at the pipboys map.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
well, it's not far away. So i might make it. i can even see it from here!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
and i can also see a strange cross shaped thing...in another direction.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
but i'll keep to going towards primm for the moment.

I walk along the road, the wind blowing, drinking a bottle of fresh clean water
how can it be fresh? i mean, it's hot as hell, do you have a minifridge in your backpack?
it's a way of saying.
i see. Glad i'm not alone in here
yes...it's eerily silent...and...is that a fridge?
looks like somebody is inside...hey are you alright sir?!
going near the fridge, i realize it's just a skeleton...with a nice comfy hat. So i take it.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

looks legit to me.

Poor indiana, rest in pieces...fridges don't work against atomic explosions.
you knew him?
no, it just made sense to say these words.
yes, i see.

i continue along the road...and i see strange looking powder gangers looking around. they don't seem offensive or willing to kill me, after all, i'm not the hidden sarsaparilla crate of dynamite doom...but then, when i walk near two to talk.
BEEP BEEP BEEP
OH SHI...BOOM
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

fuck fuck my leg! my arm! oh shittt what the hell the pain!

luckily the two guys don't seem fit to put me out of my misery. They just laugh at the scene...i stagger away, and use two doctors bag to heal my crippled arts...but then, while i move onwards once more, if a little woozy for the blood loss...THEM.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

i never thought they'd be so persistent.
i had seen one running away in a flash, towards a strange enemy...two shot's in the head, and good as dead...but not before a SECOND one crept behind me and gnawed my right arm!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

and i'm out of doctors bags...but right now, i want to go to Primm...i mutter curses as i go forth, and see finally the wastelands fights...in all their splendors.

a radroach and a gecko, fighting for supremacy.
The gecko wins, and i win the gecko.
Meat...good meat.
Good thing about radiation is that the meat keeps itself ready to be eaten raw, without problems...nice!

i reach primm, just to be stopped by a ncr scout who telle me how primm has been occupied by enemies forces.
and just for the love of god, they placed MINES...on the bridge.
I'm disarming them, all happily, when at a certain point...

HEY YOU ON THE BRIDGE BY NIGHT DISARMING MINES SILENTLY!
i nearly fall on the mine with my body, turns out a strange men has popped up from nothing...
look, i'm a bad liar he said so himself.
you know you have a star cap?
what? seems i really do have one.
Festus will guide you to the treasure! seek him out at the sarsaparilla factory!
yes...right, now off you go...you know BEEP BEEP *TLAC* Gotcha! i reach into primm, by night, to be sure nobody is going to shoot me down...
but i'm unlucky, it seems enemies are just in the front...and i can't risk going into the mojave express right now, i'd be followed.
What i do is...

MAGNUM TIME.
he had a rifle, i had a magnum, i crippled his right arm, he lost the gun, he got closer, i smashed him apart...magnum wins...always.
and thats when the fifth wall was broken.

*stops game, saves game, closes games*

guys, we have a problem.
my mouse gave in to me during the fight (standing still and was unresponsive). so the second guy came by and crippled me to death.
while death is unchangeable, it's not like i could do anything for the mouse. I changed it's batteries and all, so i just wanted to be sincere. If you want, and feel that "mechanical problems" should count as INgame, then i have to start a new with another one. Otherwise, if "mechanical" problems, are out-game, i start from the last save and reach once more into the game where i was, doing the exact same things.
Your call, and your choice.
i didn't specify it in the rules, so i'm letting you decide.

if i make it an ingame effect, then i have to start again. with another one.
i didn't realize my mouse wasn't answering to me, because i modified the varmint rifle to make it silenced.
So the one came closer and got the shots.

Or should i consider it more of a "the first one was the trial, from now ON consider it in.game?"

What? Nonsense! Groups of combat-shotguns equipped enemies, waiting for you around the corner and tossing grenades like there is no tomorrow are the real trouble.

Edit : Oh wait, that's another mod  :P

Go Alex!

So, yes, as we last left our hero, he was shooting enemies down with a magnum.
This one's down...the second.
DUCK BEHIND THE COLUMN! *doing so.
*BANGBANGBANG*
Wait for it, wait for it...wait, is he getting closer?
VATS MODE!!!
*now...where do i shoot you? the balls, the weapon arm and the balls.

fine. *BANG* critical strike, head crippled!
*bang* critical strike, arm crippled!
*bang* critical strike, balls crippled!
you...promised...not to... *dieing*
i've already got near minus infinity karma...not a chance in hell it goes lower.

then, i enter the casino...where i am greeted by a strange man.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
now listen old man, i don't know yo...
i'm the mojave express chief...can't recall me?
i've got riders on the road...ehrm, lead in the brain
oh...hi boss...no, you see, funny thing is, if you get shot in the head, you actually can lose your memory.
i see, well, did you deliver the chip?
the what?
the platinum chip.
oh that thing, well kind of...no, really, i did say i was shot in the head.
you didn't say it.
i did hint it, did you hear me?
now you know you have to pay the fine if you don't deliver.
how much?
you life.
ehrm...what? he looks serious, guns and all...and all the other primm villagers also have guns.
your life, it's on the dotted line, you see, Courier Six.
fine, i get it, i'll go grab it back
good boy. Now, head to the deputy, he might direct you around.
and where is he?
oh, he's been taken by the brigands...and is in their HQ.
right, now you wouldn't mind coming with me, would you?
hey, it's your life, not ours.
good to know...can i grab a couple of things around first?
suit yourself.

and that i do, by careful stealing, closing doors, and more, i get my hand on a combat knife, nice and shiny, and i sell off a lot of things that only weight me down.
I find caps, drinks, food, and stimpaks in an open safe.
those closed i cannot manage to open...unlucky me, maybe i'll read something and come back later.

I then procede, alone...first of all i stop at the mojave express HQ, since there's nobody there. I grab everything...oh, they were about to have STEAKS HOW MUNCH MUNCH nice of them.
there is a broken robot, but i lack the parts...maybe i'll find them around here...maybe.
next stop...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
silenced pistol+sneak=GRAB THE VARMINT RIFLE AND THE FRAG MINES.

*please hear some sort of silent assassin music with the following passage*
i enter creeping slowly, a light at the corner grabs my sight, a pc and a locked door, how easy!
i taps the password, neither Meaning nor Opening, it can only be Meeting. and the door opens...
hey, something is WRONG.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

this body has been dead for a while now...
poor christ...was he locked in here to die from thirst and hunger?
i then look around...medicine, radaway...GUN! AMMO! a refrigerator with food! a closed safe i cannot open! D'OH! and a key for maintenance?...well...i'll keep it.

when i'm about to exit, i realize with horror somebody is sitting on the chair at the end of the room, and it's not a deputy, obviously i wouldn't be so lucky.
let me tell you, karma is a bitch. BUT I AM A BITCH BOY.
He sees me, but what he doesn't see is ME throwing a frag mine on the ground and CLOSING THE DOOR.
so, when he gets closer and wastes time opening the door...
*BEEP BEEP BOOMMM*
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

one down...and...why is there the caution sign...? oh yeah, stupid question, another one is incoming for the noises...well...
PLEASE PROCEED INTO ANDRO...EHRM COUGH MINE FRAG HANDS!
what the... *BEEP BEEP BOOM*

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

really, an all new level of idiocy has been reached.
May all hail the bump-kin god who made incestuous idiots this idiotic.

i then silently proceed through the corridor, entering a room where i grab ...well, there "are" a lot of teddybears, but i grab a magazine of "tales of a junker" and read it. it's interesting, i could use it's tips while i barter.
another closed safe, oh well, but a couple of bottlecaps. nice.
i see a guy at the end of the hallway, but he doesn't see me...i think of a gift...
*fizzle fizzle dynamite* BOOM
shit, i made a short one...but he still HASN'T SEEN ME!!!
Huh? what a strange noise
come closer...come closer...and BURN
and the second throw grants me victory.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
he rests upon his leg...in a silly way obviously.


i reach for the elevator...but as it turns out, it's broken...and outside my reach, but i do have a magazine which i read about...and "et voilà" the lift works again! and i rise just to perceive...enemies, all around.
i silently creep through the hallways, shooting down from behind using the ironsight enemies upon enemies...until i reach a corner. i perceive somebody behind it, so i crouch...next to a garbage can
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
i realize that my hat is completely broken, my wonderful hat...
still...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
OH HI DO YOU NEED A VISIT TO THE OCULIST?!
wha...
*bang* (this is the silent BANG)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
YES I THINK YOU DO
*bang* and death.

Priceless.

unluckily something disturbing catches me as i make my way exploring rooms...in one, i find a PLASMA PISTOL and it's own ammo, and a note about a ransom to be paid...however, as i will realize further down, it was all a plot made by the same fake kidnapped women...women are bastards! remember it! as i see it, it went this way:
the women became drug addicted, and had a sex-drug exchange with her pusher.
the pusher wanted more money.
the women faked kidnap for it.
the man (husband of the women) went with the ransom to pay.
the pusher told the man his women had faked kidnapping for drugs.
the man went back and committed suicide in his room.
The pusher went back to the women and died of overdose. (i found him in the bed)
the women realized her hubby died her pusher died and that she was a wreck and committed suicide in the bathroom...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
that's why there's a switchblade, and a lot of psychos in the following room and suitcase with money...

sad story...Alex sheds a tear...but then...in another storeroom...Hope for the BROKEN LIMB!

Now then...what will i find in this looking good first aid box?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

i hope for a doctor bag, you know, crippled limb and all...
but no, Karma, how dare you motherfucking give me a PSYCHO and a MED-X. Two drugs!!! what do i do!? do i look like one who craves this...as i turn around i realize a doctor bag was happily sitting on the shelf. i had mistaken it for a toolbox.
Karma, you silly little thing!
*insert pic of smiling meme guy the one with black hair*

but just before i can do anything...*fizzle fizzle*
DUCK THE DYNAMITE!!!
i get away with ...a broken ARM AND A BROKEN LEG!?
while the arm was already broken, the leg also!? i have to decide between LEG or ARM!?
...
i shoot down the dynamite thrower...that bastard...where did he come from? and use the doctor bag on the arm...finally, my SIGHT IS NO LONGER WOOZY.

and with that, i grab a marvelous, truly marvelous occasion:
so marvelous it was more chance than anything. As i crawl back i see one of this bastards giving me his back, i'm sneaking, i aim for the back of his head...with the varmint rifle...
bang
*THUD* and down falls the idiot.

silly me! i nearly forgot about the deputy, so sad i was about the dead couple and the pusher and the like...
i go back down to the first floor and see the door in whom the key locks...i procede sneaking, and i see a men in the kitchen...i shoot once, with the varmint, missing him, but alerting him...however he doesn't SEE ME. so i shoot him in the back twice. still kicking, he grabs a stimpack for his use, and procedes to run against me.
In a straight line.
in a straight corridor.
When i have a silenced varmint rifle.
*insert facepalm of AI intelligence*
*snip snip* *dead*

you could have used the combat knife.
you know how those cleavers do Extra damage to limbs? he had one! you want to try and lose something limby!?
point taken.

i sneak near the kitchen and see two things:
firstly, a big man with a big flamethrower.
Secondly, the deputy tied up.
i decide.
i free the deputy and make a run for it...out of there.
not risking my skin or my life...more than needed.

i reach for the exit after the deputy.
and as soon as we are outside:
DID YOU SEE HOW I FREED YOU!? he says to ME.
okay...now where did the checkered cloth bastard go!?
my amazing SELF WILL TELL THE STUPID YOU WHERE! GO THERE AND GOOD LUCK!
*pointing out in the wastelands*
he does have a gun out in his hand...
a little more specific?
next village you see, it's that one. they passed through there.
fine... i murmur...and that's were i leave him...i'll go back to the ncr...they should know they NEED to curbstomp the place. (so i can have the salvage, obviously).

sidenote:
Soon we will end up deciding Factions...so, whom and where...and, as a side-side note: bug and glitches "might" occur, during faction quests, therefore, in the event of me having to go against the will of one (like, go all out against ncr/caesar) i will say "the glitch made XXX invincible, undefeatable, excetera).
Side, side, side, note:
i'm sorry about not being so much melee...but it's "life" > melee
animals and such are meleeable...but enemies with gun? sheesh, NO.
unless from sneak-having the crit and the upper hand, it's unpracticable and would seriously lead to death. one gunshot (a GRAZE of one gunshot) reduces my health to 3/7...just to say.
i didn't write how i ate/drank/stimpaked.

but if it might be of help: i usually never use DRUGS. (the one with addictions) not even once did i use one >. :3 i just can't...better for me.
