Independence : Fallout : New Vegas

So, for the entirety of June I was lost in gamer hell playing Fallout: New Vegas. I got bored with working on my story concepts and sort of reached a creative slum so decided to pick up a game I had started last year in November... I hadn't got very far so I was essentially starting a new game. A few days ago I finished it, getting both the Independent and NCR ending. Right now I'm starting a new playthrough for a Mr. House ending, probably will make another character for a Legion ending (just for the achievement).

 

This is where I left off - on a quest to help a bunch of ghouls go on their "Great Journey" to the tune of Ride of the Valkyries. For some reason this quest and being in Repconn Test Site was why I put the game off for many months (excluding university and having to shuffle between two places) because for some ungodly reason I would get terribly lost in Repconn. That was my biggest issue in general while playing - I would get lost inside buildings and the minimap just wouldn't help. I honestly feel it doesn't show the terrain properly and I hate navigating. 

 

Until I got power armor this was my "look" - I wanted to make this my Courier's "official look" as a gag but the more I played the more the characterization of my Courier (who is named after Tobias, an OC) changed. I will elaborate on that later, as in, under the cut after my story on playing the game. Nevermind that I'm 8 years late but everyone loves FO:NV so sue me (I've only played the first game and parts of the second). I'm just gonna write what I like about the game, its characters and I will explain some of the characters and events of the game so I hope nobody minds that too much.

Tobias the Courier : Fallout: New Vegas

Haven't posted in a while, so decided to post some screenshots from a game I started playing. I'm getting into the Fallout franchise because I really like the concept. I'm playing the original game on my laptop and New Vegas on my pc, both because of my time constraints and tech constraints.

 

 As the title suggests, I sort of tried to style my Courier after Tobias, which wasn't very easy so all he has in common with Tobi is blonde hair.

I like putting my characters in different situations, so here's a Courier Tobias more akin to what the character actually looks like. In a Fallout universe he'd probably be addicted to painkillers or something, considering his injury and all. He'd have to chem himself up to not feel the pain. 

Tobi would probably live in a moderately sized settlement with Veronica and Rebb - Rebb would use his knowledge of technology and engineering to get the place rolling and the dudes would protect Veronica who, being blind, would be quite vulnerable in a wasteland.

Anyways.... some more screenshots.
