The War Room

I stormed Caesar's fort with Cass and ED-E.

First thing we do, I snipe every single Legion member in Cottonwood Cove with a headshot, then I free the captives. All going good so far, there's a dead legion soldier floating headless around the docks. Got a good lulz out of that. Boarded the raft and headed into the fort.

First thing I do when the guards charge me is go into VATS, get a critical strike on the first guy charging at me and watching all of his brains fly off toward the guy behind him, whom promptly loses his head as well. Then with my restored AP, I pull off another quick headshot on the next guy. And the next. And the next, until 20 AP recharges don't suffice. Then I just use Cass as a distraction to pop off manual headshots. All of the gate guards dropped within a few seconds, and I proceeded up the hill path, popping headshots and watching the gory beauty fly everywhere.

Eventually I killed every last Legion member in the camp and stormed into the big man's tent. Several headshots later, I single handedly ended the war. Or I would have, had they given me the option.

My second best moment was in Vault 3, after I talked my way through the front door, walked up to the big boss Fiend, pvssyd him up and then attacked. After listening to his smug reply that I'm not powerful enough to topple him, I soundly disproved his theory with two shots to the head with my rifle. I turned around immediately and shot his two guards, also in the head, and calmly strode past the dogs while reloading and leaving them to ED-E and Cass. Two or three more fiends pop around the corner, one with a flamethrower. The flamer lost his head quickly, and so did the chick charging me with a... Golf club?

Needless to say, there were so many headless bodies and skull fragments scattered around Vault 3 that the previous inhabitants were suitably avenged.

I was striding through the cazador canyon on my way to collect cazador eggs for red lucy, easily plowing through with my brush gun, cowboy perk, HP ammo, and a single hit of psycho, OSK all around. Then, in the distance my radar goes absolutely nut-sack with red dots, I take a peek around the rocks and lose all confidence, a good 10 cazadores, suddenly I remember i'm carrying anabelle with her ridiculous AOE, well I had no basic missiles but I did have a single HE missile witch adds power and AOE. I sneak up the side of the rocks nearby and aim my shot between 2 protruding rocks, the moment of truth, the shot rings out, the missile moves at a snails pace, the detonation is heard followed by a very confused kill cam, when the cam confusion subsides there are no red dots, there isn't even a single cazador in my field of vision. I climb out from the rocks only to see piles of blue and orange clipping out of the surrounding cliff face and that beautiful mutie master next to the pile of cazador eggs. success

Once I was told to find Ranger Station Foxtrot and went the wrong way.


400 Cazadors and 56 stimpacks later, I'd realized I went the wrong way.


I didn't think that was the wrong way; I thought that was the long way. :D It was epic though. I was alone, no companions and almost used up my entire inventory getting there. Then on the trip back out I found the road. duh. :facepalm:

The following was originally posted on 28 November 2010 before Patch 1.2 downgraded the Gobi Campaign Scout Rifle. I miss that gun the way it was.

I'm sorry this is long but I hope you enjoy the story. I decided to find some Deathclaws. I planned on taking Boone and ED-E along but they got lost when we were swimming across the river so I went on ahead to find the deathclaw area thinking they'd catch up. I had just gotten the Gobi Campaign Scout Rifle and wanted to test it out on something and then give it to Boone. When I found the area, a single deathclaw was in front of me so I took a few shots and it went down pretty easy...then 4 more and I'm thinking I should try this alone. I went up the hill and laid down some frag mines and used Thump Thump to draw another one to me. That one is crippled by the mines and the Gobi does the rest.

Then I circle around to the right where there are many, many red ticks on the compass. I try to get up as high as I can on the rocks and find a good position. The scope on the Gobi reveals there's about 20 Deathclaws of all ages and a mother and an alpha male. I save my game. Thump Thump fires about a dozen grenades and then I switch to the Gobi, I'm firing as fast as I can because it's just thick with deathclaws and how could anyone miss? I never used Vats this time. And then...and then...my game crashes and we go to the reload sequence. omg, it was a truly epic freeze. True story.

So...everything reboots and reloads and when I reappear on the rocks in front of the deathclaws, Boone and ED-E are with me again. I can't see Boone but I can hear him verbally spotting and I see ED-E get hammered by a charging deathclaw and hitting the ground.

I'm shooting Thump Thump for all I'm worth and then run out of grenades. I can hear Boone shooting but can't tell if it's doing any good. I'm trying to grab the Gobi again and wishing I had the heavy incinerator but Boone has it and I can't see him. We keep shooting and some deathclaws are dropping and then they withdraw a little so that I can find Boone below me on the rocks and I can get the heavy incinerator from him. I get it and give him the Gobi and ammo and then Save. When I try to reposition to get the rest of the deathclaws, I find I'm stuck in the rocks...a huge long section that lets me run around underneath but I can't get out. The only way out is to fast travel. (frustrated yet?)

So we fast travel to a nearby ranger station but there's no way down the rocks to the river. I just keep dropping down the side of the cliff a little at a time but Boone and ED-E can't follow me so I lose them again. At least I have the heavy incinerator...but he's got the Gobi...the best sniper buddy anyone could have has the terrific Gobi but isn't with me. I'm stubborn so I keep going. I reach the river and use the rebreather to get back to the deathclaw area and start up the path again. I reposition and use the incinerator to flush them out, two almost get me but I backpedal so hard I think I'm going to fall off the cliff. I keep firing the incinerator and they finally go down. The incinerator rains fireballs down and gets the last two from range and I jump around the room because it felt epic! wow, I love this game.
