Dear diary, it is day one of my trip onto Utah. I signed up for the happy trails expedition to New Cannon. Everyone is dead.

Got attacked by white legs, bunch of tribals. I spent all day buring the dead.

The thing is, i can't get back over the steep slopes we used to get into the valley. Therefore I thought I'd try to reach the New Caananites to see if they knew another way back to the Mojave.

I may not survive this, so if anyone finds this journal, please find my beloved Veronica. She's staying at my suite in the lucky 38. Tell her I loved her even though she wasn't into dudes. And tell her that I never blamed her for that, even though I found it very frustrating that she wouldn't even consider dating me. I mean come on ... I'm a good looking guy. The guy at Camp Forlorn hope said so...

But I ramble on Journal ...

I have to walk across the bridge to see if I can find New Cannan. I hope I write another entry soon...

HOPE I DON'T DIE!!!

May I suggest "Beating A Dead Horse" as a more appropriate title?

That depends. Can I change the title, because that's a lot more awesome...

Next time make a female char. Hey wait, i have never tried that,damn ima try that next time. i currently know of 2 lisbians in Vegas

Veronica doesn't seem interested in the courier regardless of gender or perk.

Dear Journal, day 2 of my misadventure into Utah is over. I survied the harsh landscape thanks to my new BFF, Follows Chalk. He brought me to some guy named Joshua Graham. He's supposed to be a big deal or whatever, but I don't pay attention. Guy's covered in bandages. I hate kids today with their stupid fashion.

Turns out things in Utah ain't any better than the Mojave. There's this tribe of dudes called the White Legs. They're being real D words. Killing everybody...

Graham and this mormon dude, Daniels? they want me to help them out, one wants to leave zion, spent the day gathering supplies for that. I'm down, these are boys now, they can all party with me at the Lucky 38. But Graham wants to stay and fight.

I"m like, "I know this is your home bro but it svcks! Let the white legs have it!"

Gonna paint something dirty on the big rock near camp, the Dead Horses hate that. LOL! Then go to sleep, I think better when I'm tired of shooting Cazadors in the face all day.

I wonder what Veronica would think of the Dead Horses. I think she'd like them ...

LOL Graham is a big deal. He is the [censored] burned man, Caesar wants him dead, and hasnt killed him yet, and that alone makes him awesome.

I love this guy's diary. Can't wait for the ending!

Dear Journal...

Today was awful! When I made my trip into Utah, I thought it would be cool to leave all my weapons behind. After all, I could just pick up some cool new ones in Zion right?

Stupid! There's no ammo here! I have 15 guns and no bullets!!! I'm never gonna tell Veronica about this, she'd just make fun of me and ask me why I don't run up and punch people in the face like a man.

Today I killed a load of white legs and found an abandoned camp where the survivors of vault 22 made a life for themselves after they were forced to evacuate.

Something spooked them real bad though. I don't know what it was. But they called it a ghost. It killed a hundred of them, including six overseerers before they were forced to leave. I wonder where they are now? I hope they found a home...

I'm scared. I think I'm gonnna die here.

Anyway, I'm kind of/sort of down with the Sorrow tribe now,their down with the Dead Horses. I drank some crazy tea and went on a "vison quest." I didn't want to tell the chief that when I was hanging out with the Fiends we went on "Vision quests" all the time. He's a nice guy. Made me fight a big Bear though. Crazy. Made a cool glove out of his paw, great hand to hand weapon, I'm gonna give it to Veronica, I don't care if she doesn't love me, I just like seeing her happy. She's never happier than when she's punching something in the face.

Tomorrow I'll look for a map to get out of Zion. I also have to take out white legs, what else is new.

After that? I don't know... Daniels wants to take the Sorrows and go, me too...

But Graham wants to fight. I don't know if I can leave the horses behind. Might have to man up and go to war. Even if that means I'll never see her face again ...

Dear Journal, I have to tell you about the Father in the Caves.

He's the God of the Sorrows tribe. But he's not a God at all, he's a guy from the Great War named Randy Clark.

He left his journal around various caves in utah. I read them all, including the last Holotape that I found on his corpse. that's right, I found his two hundred year old corpse.

It's by accident, I was just doing some scouting. This guy lost his family in the war, he lost his second wife and unborn child after the war. Complication from child birth.

he lost everything and he lived with the guilt his whole life.

200 years ago, the ancestors of the Sorrows came to utah, he never revealed himself to them, just left them cards and told them how to survive.

he was amazing but he felt he didn't deasearve them. it's shame, he could have been comforted greatly from them.

Because he never revealed himself, they thought he was a God. 200 years later, I'm listening to stories about him from the Sorrows, from Waking Cloud, a cool Sorrow chick who's helping me out around the valley...

What they don't know is, he was just a man like them. But not really though, he single handedly led the trive to prosperity.

Man, I can't leave the valley now. THis guy put way to much effort into making the Zion Valley okay for the Sorrows.

Tomorrow, I'm telling Daniels it's time to attack the White Legs. He's gonna be pissed.

Even though I played this DLC countless of times, I still want to know how this ends. Props OP.

If I had a recipe for making some wasteland cookies I would bake some and give them to you.

Wow, thanks man. I know how hard it is to find some of those wasteland cookies too...

Sorry Journal! Not dead! Just too tired to write.

Oh My God!!! Me and Joshua Graham killed all the white legs! They're all dead!!!

It was hard to watch! Technically the Dead Horses and the Sorrows helped but it was Basically all Graham. That guy is a Psycho!

i was able to talk him out of killing their leader and the White Leg's who surrendered. he wanted it to kill them all! Genocide man!!! Genocide!!!

Thank God he's a Christian because if that guy wasn't, I'd be knee deep in dead White Legs right now.

That guy has mental stuff going on, he's seriously screwed up but I guess war will do that to you. Oddly enough he seems fine right now. better than before. I think I did good convincing him to spare the White Legs. he seems... at Peace. Hope he stays that way.

There is Peace in Zion for now. The New Cannanites can rebuild their city, the Dead Horses and the Sorrows are commited to making the Happy Trails Caravan a regular trading partner. It seemslike all the good guys won.

Daniels is kind of bummed out man. He says the tribes lost their innocense. I think he's just being a bleeding hart liberal.

It's not without a heavy heart that I leave Utah though. Follows Chalk is gone. He said good bye before he left to check out the "Big Lights of Civilization." But sometimes you just know you're never gonna see a person again. "Two ships passing in the night." He gave me his hat as a gift, I gave him my Hunting Revolver.

I"m gonna give his hat to Veronica. Symbolizism. Because I don't want to ever never see her again.

I realize how lucky I am as I walk back to the Mojave. Sure I'm in love with a lisbian and I have all the conflict that that entails. But She's also my best friend. Best softball teammate I ever had.

The battle of Hoover Dam should be coming up too. I'm glad I went to Utah.

In a way, I think i found my Mutfruits in that Canyon.

All hail Smith! The [censored] of the wasteland.

*bows to Rooster* All Hail the Rooster for sure! (Raz got it right! hahahaha). I've played through the DLC twice and I still hung on Rooster's every word! Your writing is just so entertaining!!!!!!!!!! It has everything! Humor, serious stuff, emotions etc etc! LOVE IT!

So, wonder how the Journal for Dead Money will look... #$%@#$ I lost my #$%@%#@# Head!!!!!!!!!!!

Next day: #$%@#$# I died in the #$%#@ MIST!

LOL (SAVE OFTEN is all I can say!)

How come you took the same ending as i did? Well written i cried about Veronice. Very touching.

That's the thing about being censored, I don't know wether it's a compliment or not.

Thanks bro. Glad you liked it.



Ah hell that's a compliment man. I just wrote this in one sitting so It's not my best work but the game is so good I have alot to draw from.

Who doesn't want to get caught up and lost in this great world...

I have a few plans with Fallout.

1. finish up in the Mojave, mulitple endings. ( I ruined the legion one.)

2. Do the other expansion packs with my charector "Rooster Smith"

3. Do the legion ending and a few other faction's quests with "Wendy the welder." ( My evil charector.)

4. Play fallout 3. I hear it's amazing and alot of people say it's better. i don't think it is, but I can tell from my brief playthough that it is also awesome.

I'll cover them all in this Dead Horse Journal I think.


Dude. That's the most awesome complimetn I could get. thanks man. I really dig Veronica's charector, her personality, the way she punches things, everything.

True story, in Vault 34. She was surrounded by 5 ghouls. Tough ones. I panicked, had to reload my gun, I picked the wrong one.

She punched her way out of danger. What a Woman!

Let's just say it's another word for "Rooster"

Ahhh...

Must be Bantam because I can't possibly think of another one...

Bad Raz! Bad! LOLOL

Yea, no worries Rooster, The Rooster of the Wasteland is good, go with that hahahahahaha

Can't wait to see what'll happen next in your journal. And yea, I totally agree with you, it is an amazing world and inspires me as well!

Hey, your love for Veronica is austonishing (i have no idea if its a word) and i respect Veronica as a dude and as a political leader (in a RPG game LOL) and a soldier, and she is wonderful. I hope your adventures will go great, and im wishing for another dairy. Peace bro

Thanks man, play some tonight. Mid week grind but make time for Fallout, of course ...

Just keep up the good work, and respect. Also u should have made like a normal journal for the original game too.

Right now I'm in a weird spot. Gonna pick up the two more expansions. but I'm not sure if I wanna finish it for the third time or play the expansions first. think I'm gonna keep a researved file, finish it, then finish it on a future date again, after the expanison are done.

Honest hearts is the onlye expansion I've done.

Dear Journal. Just got back to New Vegas. veronica gave me a big old hug. I missed the pain of her Power Glove digging into my spine. Got her and ED-E as they were going out, prospecting at Vault 11.

Decided to come with, I had slept on the vertibird on the way over. ( Don't wanna brag, I'm down with the NCR brass. )

Vault 11 was a messed up place! We get there and there's rats and mantis's all over the place. So Veronica and ED are going around playing exterminator and I'm using my technological know how to figure out as much as I can about the place. turns out no one ever wanted to win an election for the overseerers office. It was weird. I never heard of anything like it.

I was trying to figure out why everyone always endoresed an opponent when I found a password to the overseeers terminal. I figured, Jack pot baby!!!

So I get in there and I open the overseers tunnel. ( They're all the same, you've been to one vault you've been to them all... )

this terminal called it the "Sacrificial chamber." So I'm all like, what the hell does that mean? Alot of these overseeres were total pervs you know? So I'm expecting like, chains and whips and Donkey skeletons.

No...

I get a little room with a projector and a comfy chair. I sit down and I'm thinking, man, I hope this is a romatic comedy. Anything with katherine heigel and I'm good, best pre war actress ever!

I get about 5 seconds into the film and it tells me I'm going to die! It was about this time that I realized the door behind me was closed.

Long story short the film ends, these secret walls open up on both sides of me and these big ash robots start shooting at me.

And these were some expensive robots. Mr. House would be impressed! And then behind those, there were turrets! Why the hell would you install those!? How tuff were these Vault 11 mother fudgers that you needed turrets as a back up plan!?

Anyway, fast foward about 10 minutes and I walk back Veronica and Ed-E picking Robot parts out of my Keester.

Veronica askes me what happened. I tell her, "I had to use my last pulse grenade is what happened!"

And she's like, "Well where the hell was your pulse gun?"

An I was like, "I sold it for rent money!"

And she was like, "You have to learn to spend within your limits!"

Then I had to talk her into paying my half of the rent. It wasn't the smoothest adveture I ever been on but it's good to be back in the mojave.

If there's a lesson here, never go into a Vault. Those places are messed up.

Gonna take some time to take Veronica's advice, date a little bit, stop hitting on her all time.

I have a good thing going with Red Lucy but we don't have much in common and she scares me.

Think I'm gonna try J Date. I'm not Jewish but no one has to know that.
