This looks interesting. Sadly, I have not played Fallout so I can't give any suggestions.

Shady Sands: Scenic Entrance to Vault 15

Spoiler: Vault 15 (click to show/hide)

Finally! The damn thing has stopped beeping at me. Right, where was I?

It was obvious at first glance that something had happened in Vault 15. The walls were rusted, the equipment smashed,


and the door had been torn off its hinges. I cautiously advanced, my knife ready in my hand. Whatever I was going to face, it wasn't going to be friendly.


GIANT LESSER MOLE RATS! GIANT FREAKING LESSER MOLE RATS! WHY THE HELL DID NOBODY TELL ME ABOUT THE wait. Lesser? LESSER?!?!?


THE DAMN THING IS BIGGER THAN ME!


Ahem. I cautiously advanced, my knife ready in my hand. Whatever I was going to face, it wasn't going to be friendly.


Damn. As far as I knew that elevator was the only way down. The cables are gone and the maintenance ladder looks as study as my job if I didn't get my hands on that chip.

I searched the rest of the rooms, looking for some sort of rope. All I found were some flares, a couple of stimpacks and a first-aid kit. Useful, but not what I need.


Looks like I'll have to make the trip back to the vault...

Spoiler: Shady Sands (click to show/hide)

... 'Shady Sands' the sign said. I managed to stumble upon it while I was returning to Vault 13. The name was a misnomer. There was no sand, only parched soil. Plus, it was kinda hard to find a piece of shade in the almost perpetual twilight of the wastes. Yet despite the misleading name, I knew that I had to enter Shady Sands. I needed rope, no matter what dirty, disgusting, lawless, mutant-filled

"Hey! Welcome to Shady Sands! I hope you'll have an absolutely superb time here! Have a complimentary fruit basket."
"Uh..."
"Let me introduce myself. My name's Katrina, what's yours?"
"Um... Devlin."
"Really? I used to have a boyfriend named Devlin. He was a technician in Vault 15." She did the kind of gesture that only preppy people seem capable of making.
"Yeah, nice. Look, I need some wait. Vault 15?"
"Yes! I used to live there you know."
"You used to live there?!?!?"
"Of course! Well, until the raiders came."
"Raiders! Wait happened?"
"I don't really remember, it's all a bit fuzzy. I'm just lucky that the inhabitants of Shady Sands managed to pull me out of the wreckage!"
I pondered her words for a couple seconds. If Vault 15 fell to raiders, then Vault 13 could too. Hmm... Obviously the waterchip was only one of my problems.
"Kitanna,"
"It's Katrina."
"Look, I'm blind, not deaf. Kitanna, can you tell me more about these raiders?"
"I'm sorry, but my drugs seem to be wearing off. But if you talk to Seth, I'm sure that you'll learn everything you need to."
"Uh... Thanks."
As I left Kitanna, she started wailing about her boyfriend.

Seth was an ugly bastard. His head looked like a aardvark, a donkey and a jackel all wanted to explore their bodies. Yet I knew that
"Dude, are you blind? I'm over here."
"Only legally." Scratch what I said earlier.
"What? Oh, never mind."
Seth was a man after my own heart. He used to be a caravan guard, protecting the weak from those who would wish to exploit them.


Seth knew only a little about the raiders, mostly how to kill them. He had a better picture of nearby settlements.


The water-merchants in the Hub piqued my interest. If I couldn't find the chip in Vault 15, maybe they might have something. Like a verbal game of hot potato, Seth passed me over to Adeesh, the village leader.

Spoiler: All about Tandi (And what's his name. Adeesh. Yeah.) (click to show/hide)

"Hey! My name's Tandi. You're not from around here, are you?"
"Well, no."
"Neato! Shady Sands must be boring to a world traveller such as yourself, right?"
"Err, I'm not planning on staying."
"I know what you mean. The only thing exciting around here is Brahmin tipping."
"So, uh, why don't you leave?"


"Well, too bad. I have too talk to someone, so... I have to go."


"Yeah. See you too." So hot.

Adeesh was Tandi's father or something, so I didn't have far to walk.


""Uh right. I'm here for some rope, 'cause I need to get a waterchip out from Vault 15. So, you know, if you have any rope could you point it out to me? Also, was that your daughter back there."

Adeesh looked at me as if he had caught me having sex with his daughter.

"Stranger, I shall believe you... For now. Yet Shady Sands has its own problems. Radscopions have been attacking my people! Razlo is trying to find... Wait. Where are you going? Come back! _{I'm so lonely...}"

Spoiler: You have to find the rope (click to show/hide)

Adessh was a bust. Looks like I'll have to get some rope the old-fashioned way: Buying it. Seth apparently acts as the village's trader after they saved him from some raiders. Note: Check connections between Shady Sands and raiders. Two times cannot be coincidence. Anyways Seth had ammo, stimpacks and bottlecaps. Apparently they use them as coinage. Silly traders. Anyways it looks like I'll have to get some rope the old-old-fashioned way. 'Borrowing' it.


No.


Nope.


Nope. Wait, what's this?


"Scout's Handbook"? Seems useful. I'm sure that nobody would begrudge me if I read it...


No.


Nope.


TWO-HEADED CATTLE!


TWO-FREAKING-HEADED CATTLE! WHY THE HELL DID NOBODY TELL ME ABOUT THE TWO-HEADED CATTLE?!?!?!


No.


No.


No. Wait, what was in that last one?


Jackpot!

Note: Not all conversations in this LP will be exactly the same as in the game. Creative freedom and all that. Though if you want me to, I could post more screenshots of the conversations. I'd also like to point out that Adeesh, Kitanna etc. are not spelling mistakes, but are included because I wanted them.

Also, Tandi is 16 when she met Devlin. Yeah...

How is the LP so far? I could probably do more per post, I think. Plot/conversations take of a lot of space.

EDIT: Which perks should I take? More melee damage? Take less damage? Increased EXP? Perhaps something else?

[loose nut]

Let's see. Bonus HtH is good for a melee fighter though better perks show up at later levels so I don't think it's worth stacking. Quick Pockets is not bad either (sometimes you gotta get a stimpack ASAP). Swift Learner, also ok. You can go with any of those. Most of the melee perks open up later, starting at level 6 with Bonus HtH Attacks (extremely good perk there). Toughness is, I think, better when you stack it and go full brick shithouse with your character.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Right. I think I'll go for swift learner then, so that I can reach level 6 quicker.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Back to the Vaults

Spoiler: Get back in the Vault (click to show/hide)

Right. Back to Vault 15. And the rope is...


Ah! There we go. Finally!


The living quarters of Vault 15 were as decrepit and rusted as


PIG RATS? PIG FREAKING meh. I've seen worse.


WHAT THE FREAKING HELL?!?!? ARE THEIR TEETH MADE OUT OF RAZORS AND BARBED WIRE?!?!?!?

Jesus. The damn things are everywhere. At least they die quickly. Right, where was I? Oh, yeah. Looking for that chip.


Um... Useful, but not a water chip.


Can you believe that people just leave ammo lying around?


Wait. Is that a leather vest?


It is! I've always wanted one of these since I was a kid.


So stylish.

Also: Rope?!? Where the hell was this when I needed it?


Oh. Never mind. Nowhere to go but down.


Level 3, the command level. If the waterchip was anywhere in this sorry excuse for a Vault, it'd be here.


Oh. Nice Greater Mole Rat. I not here to hurt you. I'll just back up nice and slowly...


Crap. DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE. I WANT TO LIVE!

Ahem.

I hope that I can get all this blood out of my jacket. Maybe there's something in the emergency supply cabinet? Or at least something to patch me up?



Right. Now to
*BEEP*
Damn it, what is it now?
*BEEP*


Oh, right. Sweet.



Ah. Leveling up is fun.

Right. Back to work.


I doubt that the waterchip would be in here.


Nope. Just the armoury. Damn it.

Wait.



Frag grenades?


Heh. That dynomite ought to be useful as well. Now I only have the Command Centre to check...


FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-

Spoiler: Get back in the other Vault (click to show/hide)

Right. No chip in Vault 15. Maybe the Overseer will know about some other place to check?


"Hey guys! Yeah, I haven't turned into an irradiated mutant. Mind letting me in?"
My new-found celebrity was unwanted by such a dark and mysterious figure such as myself. Plus I still can't get a date.


Some of the other inhabitants were thinking of leaving the Vault and setting up a colony on the surface. I showed them where Shady Sands was on their map, which was hilariously outdated. At the very least Adeesh could point them away from the raiders.


"Hey John, buddy, how's it going?"
"My name is Frank, and I'm not your buddy."
"So what are you doing?"
"Can't you read man? Oh shit, sorry. I didn't mean... Um, I'm guarding the water supplies, what with the rationing and all. The person who was supposed to do it somehow managed to weasel his way out of it, so now I'm stuck doing his business. Jackass. Now I got to pay attention, so scram."
"Right, bye John."
"It's Frank, you blind mother-"

"Hey, what are you guarding?"
"Weapons. Only the Overseer and security are allowed to use them."
"So does that mean I can have some?"
...
I walked away, leaving her rolling on the floor, laughing hysterically.

Finally! There's the Overseer.


"Have you decided to resign yet?"
"No. I'm just having some problems finding the-"
"Keep looking. I don't have time to baby you."
"Yes, I understand, but-"
"Look, I'm very busy. The oxygen scrubber on floor 4 has gone haywire, and I have to personally manage the repairs."
"Uh... Okay. Can I at least take some water with me before I go?"
The Overseer waved his hand in what I'm sure was a gesture of confirmation.


After all, they wouldn't miss just one canteen of water, right?

I'm going to head back to Shady Sands to kill some radscorpions and get some tasty, tasty EXP. After that I'll probably head down to Junktown and the Hub.

Also, Vault 15 must have been made out of EZ-Rust patented metal if Katrina lived in it. You just can't seem to get that colour naturally without generations of oxidization.

[USEC_OFFICER]

I hate to give part of an update away before it's actually out, but guess which conversation choice I wanted to pick?




Also, the next update is going to be big. It'll easily have the same number of screenshots as the rest of the updates combined.

[Sappho]

I am enjoying this and demand more as soon as possible. Please.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Junktown Wars

Spoiler: Trouble in paradise (click to show/hide)

Well, I guess I ought to head down to the Hub and talk to those Water Merchants. Maybe I ought to head over to Shady Sands and pick up some supplies.
...
And show Tandi my awesome vest.

"Hey Adeesh, what's happening?"


"Still? That's a bummer." Hmm... Maybe if I deal with these radscorpions, Tandi will like me more? I've done worse things to get a date...
"Maybe I could help you deal with the radscorpions?"



Razlo was the village doctor, if you could call him that. His face had the permanent scowl of those who fiercely defend their illogical and backwater


"Uh... How is an educated guy like you staying in a dung hole like this?"


"Right... Do you need me to do anything?"


"Anti-venom. Got it. I'll get right on it."

I head over to the radscorpion cave that Seth was nice enough to point out.


Lovely. Well, I just have to go inside and find


Crap. Oh well, I've leveled up twice, right? I've bested pig rats, and both lesser and greater mole rats. How hard can a radscorpion be? I've killed four of them before.


Damn it, that stings. Bugger damn near half killed me. Heh. Bugger.
Ahem. At least the damn thing has a venom sack. I just hope that it still has enough poison left in it, especially after pumping me full of that stuff. Maybe, maybe I'll just lie down for a second.

"Woah. Razlo, how did I end up here?"
"We found you running around outside the village, screaming about giant bats."
"Oh. Is the venom sac still in my pack?"
"Yes, and I'm almost finished with the anti-venom. It just needs a few more minutes of boiling."
"Oh. So, err, um. How's the weather?"
Razlo raised his eyebrow.
"Right, post-apocalyptic wasteland and all.

...

Is Tandi single?"
"Oh yes, and I hear that she'd turned 16 a few months ago."
"Oh.

...

I am not a pedophile." I don't know what was more creepy, Tandi being 16 or Razlo's grin.
"The anti-venom is ready now. Here, have a sample."


"Are you sure that you aren't trying to poison me for that uneducated savage/dung hole comment?"

With the anti-venom securely stowed in my backpack, I had only one thing left to do. Kill the radscorpions once and for all.


Wait a second. I have dynamite, right? So if I just...


RUN!!!


Err, is it armed?


Damn. Looks like Shady Sand's radscorpion problem is solved once and for all.


"Yeah, thanks. I know I'm awesome. If you have any more problems, you know who to call. Now if you excuse me, I'll be off to the Hub."

Spoiler: Devlin and the Midget Go to Junktown (click to show/hide)

Oh. So that is where the raider encampment is. Good thing that it's marked on my I'll just leave now.


Junktown was a typical post-apocalyptic craphouse. Chaos ruled the streets, and the only law known was the law of the g-


"I'm sorry, what?"


"Oh, right. I'll just put it back in its sheath then. _{Please don't hurt me.}"

Okay, simply because the guards want you to put away your weapon doesn't mean that this place isn't a dangerous hellhole, right? Their morals are just-


A jail?!? Come on...


And a hospital?!? What is this place, Canada?


At least the doctors still charge you extortionate fees for a check-up. _{Damn it, Doc Morbid.} 

Huh. I wonder where that ladder goes.


Uh...

"Hey what are you doing here?"
"What, me?" Crap, think fast Devlin. You've spent your entire life training for this moment. Well, not this specific moment, but-
"Are you blind? Yes, you."
"Only legally. Plus, err, your boss sent me down here." Phew. Dodged a bullet there.
"Uh... Okay." Damn it, he's onto me. Quick, think up something to distract him.
"Okay means your almost done? What you're doing? Down here?"
"Yes, almost done."
"Er... Done what?"
"Body parts to go to the Hub." Is, is that a... YES, IT'S A HUMAN ARM. SHIT, SHIT, SHIT.
"For what?" Maybe it's for medical research?  Yeah, that's got to be what they're for. Doc Morbid isn't that morbid.
"For Bob to sell... to eat... Why you ask what we use for?" FUCK, FUCK, FUCK. BOB'S A FUCKING CANNIBAL. QUICK, THINK OF SOMETHING BEFORE HE TURNS YOU INTO MEAT.
"SOMETIMES I HAVE TROUBLE THINKING." ... Crap. I didn't mean to say that out loud.
"Me have trouble thinking too... What were we talking about?"
"I don't remember. Goodbye."


Holy crap, did I just get out of there alive?

Spoiler: Killian and Friends (click to show/hide)

Doc Morbid also sells things other than human body parts. _{I think I'm going to be sick.}


I have no idea what this supertool thing does, but it could be useful. Plus, I can sleep better knowing that Doc Morbid isn't going to jab this into my side. _{Crap, I am going to vomit.}

Jesus, I need something to wipe my mouth.


This will do, whatever the hell it is.


'Darkwater's'. Must be some kind of store.


"Err, yeah. Who own's this store?"
"I do. My name's Killian. Killian Darkwater. I'm a storeowner, salesperson, mayor and in my spare time I'm a caped crusader. Where are you from?"
"Um... Up north."
"Not much up there 'cept desert and Shady Sands. Are you from there?"
"Well my village... is a little west of there."
"Well travellers tell me that a bunch of crazies called the Vipers live up there too. They'd come down here to Junktown too if it weren't for my crime-fighting abilities."
"Right. What else is outside of Junktown?"

"Right... I'll just take a look at your wares now."

*BANG!*

HOLY SHIT. THAT BASTARD SHOT AT ME!


Nobody shoots at me and lives! At least not yet, anyways. Actually, you're the first person who's shot at me...


Wait. Why the hell am I talking to a dead body?


"Uh, wasn't he shooting at... Never mind. I'll help you."
"Great! Now we'll need some evidence from Gizmo, so get a tape recording of his confession, or bug his room and we'll see what we get. Here, take these."
"Thanks, I'll be right on it."

*BEEP*

Nice.

Spoiler: Gizmo's last stand (though he can't actually stand at all. You know what I mean.) (click to show/hide)

Gizmo owned the local casino. A dirty place, filled with all manner of thieves and hired killers.


...

Either that peasant is a trained assassin, or I'm wrong. Again. Damn it.

I attempted to blend in with the rest of the gamblers, and headed over to one of the 'slot' machines.


As far as I can tell, the only slot it has is for gobbling up your money. After carefully watching people coming and going from Gizmo's office, I finally decided to talk to the fat man himself.


Literally.


"I'm here to talk about the attempt on Killian's life." Err... maybe I shouldn't have been so direct.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Of course you do. You sent some and he screwed up." Wow. Maybe I should have been a hired killer instead of a cop... Gah. Focus Devlin.
"I don't know what you're talking about, but I don't take kindly to strangers who barge into my office and accuse me of things they know nothing about."
"Err... I'm not here to accuse, I'm here to help?" Crap. Maybe I shouldn't have made it into a question.
"Really? You're going to help me? What kinda help are we talking about?"
"Um... You sent someone to kill Killian and he failed, so you need someone who can do the job... better." Damn, that actually sounded half-way smooth.
"Let me guess, you're that person?"
"Right. Totally. I'm your guy."
"How can I trust you?"
"Well, I'm here, right? And you need someone from out of town to do your dirty work..." Buy it, buy it, buy it you fat tub of lard...
"Hmm... All right, we can do this. Just remember that nobody double-crosses Gizmo and gets away with it, alright?" Yes...
"Um right, yeah, totally. So, what'cha need him dead for."
"Simple, he cramps my style."
"Right, got it. I'll just be leaving now."

"Got it. I'll give his dog tags to you tomorrow. _{But I doubt you'll get them around that fat neck of yours.}"
"What was that?"
"Nothing?" Damn it, he almost heard you. No wisecracks until you're safely out of hearing.

Time to place that bug. Best wait till nighttime when nobody's around.


DON'T YOU GUYS EVER GO TO SLEEP?!?!?


"What? Don't look at me like that. It's not like Gizmo hired me to kill you. I mean crap, no, gu-... Here's the confession."


"Oh, sweet. How about the leather armour?"



Not as stylish as a leather vest, but much more protective.

Anyways Killian and the rest of his guards were going to go round up Gizmo, and I was vaguely curious to see if Gizmo actually had legs or some sort of horror tentacle mass, so I decided to follow them.

"Damn it Killian, you'll never take me alive!"
*BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG*
WHY THE HELL IS EVERYBODY SHOOTING AT ME TODAY?!?!?!


I was interrupted from runn- my attack on Gizmo by Izo, who is Gizmo's only bodyguard.


Against my incredible knife-skills, Izo is just a little boy.


Literally. _{See? Now you do the wisecracks.}


"Me and a couple of my boys are going for some celebratory drinks. Want to come?"
"Err, yeah, why not?"

Bleh. I feel that the ending is not the greatest. I'm a bit under the weather right now, if that explains anything. I didn't have enough time yesterday to finish typing the update, so here it is now. Meh.

Any idea where I can get my hands on a better weapon? The knife is fine and all, but it's still a knife. I could probably use something better soon.

I find it amusing that for all your conversation choices with Killian, confronting him with Doc Morbid's cannibal supplying business is not one of them. You figure that one out.

Also, what ever happened to Junkyard wars? That was an awesome show, though they did start to run out of ideas near the end.

Bleh, I should stop rambling and get to work on the next update.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Wow. I think I just accidentally the everything.

Also, I really have to make more updates. The next one has double the number of screenshots as the rest combined (like the one before it). Bleh.

[JacenHanLovesLegos]

Do you ever use your gun?

[Jiokuy]

Do you ever use your gun?

Perception = 2

[Itnetlolor]

I don't know what happened to Junkyard Wars. It had some pretty cool challenges and rigs made.

As for weapons, I dunno, it's been ages since I played this game, so I don't know. There is however, an extremely rare chance to come across a crashed UFO and get an alien blaster (+ammo) from it. You can also try shopping for weapons, see what works. I'm not sure if power fists or rippers exist in this game though. Maybe.

I did find another weapon... But you'll have to read the update to find out (Hopefully it'll be out later today). However it hasn't been exactly helpful so far...

[Phantom]

If I remember correctly, Perception doesn't really affect guns THAT much. A blind guy can easily kill people with, say, an assault rifle.


Also, Power Fists DO exist in here. Rippers, nay. BUUUT, I'm pretty sure he can get a cow prod or similar soon. That, and I'm sure he'll loot some nice equipment from the dead eventually.

[USEC_OFFICER]

It does. Unless guns and grenades in Fallout are designed to kill people a metre in front of you, in which case never mind.
