Okay so some of you know I'm really sad and do an FO3 fanfic. I've been writing today and listening to Sweeney Todd (Johnny Depp & Helena BC vers.) at the same time. So Charon has kind of morphed into this bitter, twisted killer. And Shilo has turned into Mrs Lovett XD
I kind of thought 'Lolz, u jokr. They should probably go to Andale when this is all over, they can open a pie shop."

Which gave me this idea for this 'ere topic: Pick a follower. Now pretend you finished the vanilla game and miraculously lived. You've got DLCs so you're not the Lone Wanderer anymore... it's time you settled down, isn't it?
What do you do?

Example, because I am often confusing it seems: I think I remember Sesame saying he plays a pimp, so I'd guess he would go and settle down in a nice Sesame's Pad somewhere with his [censored]es. XD

Well if you have Broken Steel DLC, you survive anyway...

I'm pretty sure I'd retire up in my suite in Tenpenny Tower and start writing books. Don't know if there's much of an audience for one, but maybe Traders will carry a few copies with them and sell them in settlements. Whoever can read in that settlement will read adventure stories of the Wastes, and perhaps read it out-loud during the Assembly or something. I'll hijack Littlehorn's typists to start writing copies of the book. Im sure I'd have a somewhat steady supply of caps, and would comfortably live the rest of my life in peace. I'll write a couple Wasteland Guide's too, since Moira's version svcks ass.

Or even better, make AUDIO BOOKS. Y'know, cause barely anyone has reading skills.

Well, my characters all value their friends so I'd probably set up somewhere with my team -- a place where we can get merry and talk about the great times gone by.

Where this would be? I'm not sure? The Sniper Shack is a nice out of the way place, but it's too small. There's Tenpenny Tower, but even though I like the people there, I kind of want to be out of the way. I'm not overly sure... maybe Minefield, where we could have a house each or maybe 1 or 2 of us share one.

That's not to say I'll never don my armour again; I'd be sure to get out in the wastes and go on a few expeditions.

Excellent Idea. I'll make holotapes of it.

I'm on my own making Raider pies then? Damn. Any orders? XD

Charon and I would hijack the Duchess Gambit and head on down to the Broken Banks to see what's going on there. Undoubtedly, we'd have a lot of work to do clearing out whatever hostiles we encountered there but once the trash has been taken out, we could build ourselves a nice little compound and live happily ever after. Just me and my ghoul, alone on our beachside Mutfruit plantation.

I'll order some, tell dumb ass wastelanders that it's a special pie from way up north and then sell it for a profit! It tastes so good, that they'll keep coming back.

XDD that sounds quite lovely... and then I remember what the DC area actually looks like.


@chris: That's fine, as long as you don't direct them to andale... because you'll lose em pretty fast. Charon's sniping any visitors that come too close. XD

Mutfruit and Punga fruit - good for trade.

My guy? I dunno. Probably set up some sort of workshop for weapons/armor repair someplace central. Raid all the good stuff from the Mechanist lair and set up somewhere else. After all, if he can repair alien tech, then if he can't fix it, it's not fixable. Yes, he would 'reserve the right to refuse service to anyone,' which in his case would be Raiders, Slavers and Talon Mercs. Ghouls, fine. Outcasts, okay, as long as they mind their manners. One sneered 'local' or comment about banging rocks together would have the rude one getting the bum's rush (Thanx, Fawkes).

I would set up a mercenary vompany.We would Up [censored] [censored] [censored] Up [censored][censored] [censored] UP.

lol, I tried roleplaying a Pimp for a couple of days but didn't find it that enjoyable.

As for my character, I don't really know. I guess he'd spend the rest of his days in Tenpenny Tower teasing the male guards with Anthony Ling, having Clover tend to his boredom in interesting ways, and occasionaly leave Tenpenny Tower to harass innocent Wastelanders for profit or enjoyment.

Well, settle down with my big pile of caps and my cherished plasma rifle, and my wasteland gal of choice (or maybe gals, like ol' Dave), and Dogmeat of course. Get married, have a kid or two. Question is where...

Tenpenny Tower: Ughhh. That place is full of either snobbish humans or mass-murdering ghouls, depending on how "Tenpenny Tower" played itself out. Either way, don't wanna live there.

Andale: Uhhh... no. Just NO! Blecchhh!

Big Town: Too vulnerable to attack. I want walls around me.

Arefu: I like my blood IN my veins, thank you very much.

Little Lamplight: Even if I am welcome there, pondscum and fungus are not my chosen diet.

Girdershade: Three's a crowd.

Paradise Falls: No. Eulogy Jones makes me nauseous.

Republic of Dave: Dave might decide he needed three wives and try to steal my spouse.

That leaves Rivet City or Megaton. Probably the latter. A house, even a ramshackle one, beats a bunk in the Rivet City common room, and having to listen to Tammy and James's endless squabbles (talk about two people who deserve each other). And in Megaton, I'd have my own robot.

Id like to find a off side location to chill mabey with a few cold nukas dogmeat by my side
mabey a wife children what you guys think of:

Rockopilos

or mabey the junk yard. :celebration:

I think Clover and I will take over the Muddy Rudder. When we can’t stand the boredom any longer, we may just hijack the Duchess Gambit. I think we’ll cruise up and down the Potomac, conquering all settlements that can be seen from the river.

After establishing a new trade route that centers on the river. I’ll have to think long and hard on how to spend all our new found caps. Right now it’s a toss up between rehabilitating the amusemant park at Point Lookout and investing in an army to facilitate our inevitable conquest of the entire Wasteland.

Now lets not get ahead of ourselves here there are some more basic concepts they need to master. Ought to make some of those spinner things that make the animal noises y'know: "The cow says: moooo"

Well that was random.
anyway i think i might try to set up a epic battle of NPCs

I'd become a Wasteland version of Pai Mei or Obe Wan, only instead of having Chi or the force, I'd just have V.A.T.S. I'd train my gunslinging skills all day until my old age when I'd achieve enlightenment. In FO3 once you do this you're actually in a constant state of V.A.T.S. :gun:

Actually, clear out all the scum (i.e. the slavers) and the place would be quite suitable. Eulogy's Pad would make a good home for you and yours and all your followers/settlers could set themselves up in the other buildings. Though some of those buildings are so repulsive inside they'd need some serious work. :flamethrower:

Well, yes, there is that. Maybe I could make Paradise Falls the REAL beacon of hope for escaped slaves everywhere. I mean, yeah, repair the Lincoln Memorial and all, but it's too vulnerable to attack to be a suitable home. Besides, considering the crap-hole's previous purpose, it would be the ultimate act of poetic justice. And Eulogy's bedroom is pretty darn nice, too.

For my scientist character, he'd probably take over Blackhall Manor and live with Dogmeat and Fawkes, and clear out the cellar to store all of his mementos in. He'd occasionally go hunting Mirelurks after Blackhall's food supply ran out and maybe convince Moira to come live with him. They'd help supply Marguerite with the ingredients for her moonshine so they wouldn't have to waste bullets on those damn swampfolk.


As for my sadistic [censored] character, she would probably hunger for more power after the end of the main quest and decide to take over Paradise Falls from Eulogy Jones by slitting his throat in the middle of the night and would travel to the Commonwealth with a small group of slavers in the hopes of taking over some of the smaller settlements and then weasel her way into the Institute and try to help them crush the Railroad to make sure nobody would be able to interfere with anything relating to her business.

Well, I am the lone wanderer with my beloved dog meat. And before I met dogmeat, I killed everyone in Tenpenny Tower. I mean EVERYONE. I raided the place, and now each and every room is my own spacious world. So basically I have a huge house in the middle of nowhere.

Another possibility is redeveloping the old Statesman Hotel... it's a bit out of the way, but it very possibly gets its water from the tidal basin, so the sinks would put out Aqua Pura. It has one entrance, which would make it easy to defend against muties and other scum, and it has plenty of space, beds, and even a nice little restaurant area. And if I were able to salvage an Enclave Vertibird, its roof would serve as a landing pad.

My guy would either

1. Wonder the wastes listening to his evil imaginary friends

2. Learn to control his imaginary friends and go back to being a slaver

or 3. Go hang with Duvok!

List of fun things to do now that Project Purity is completed:

1. Throw Tenpenny a surprise party on his 81st birthday, causing him to have a fatal heart attack.
2. Establish a mole rat colony and make gobs of wonder meat. Hire Zip to advertise for you (he just wears his usual outfit and a sadwich board). Pay him in Nuka Cola. Get filthy rich.
3. Sneak into Fort Independence and paint all the Outcast Power Armor electric blue and hot pink.
4. Teach Princess kung fu, allowing her to beat Macready into submission and establish herself as HRH Princess Angela I.
5. Lure a Deathclaw into Paradise Falls. Watch as slavery in the wasteland is messily abolished.
6. Moon people from the top of Tenpenny Tower.
7. Build a TEN-millimeter Minigun, and make Brick jealous by traipsing through Ranger compound with it.
8. Salvage a boat and create a water taxi service. Get even filthy richer. Buy a council seat in Rivet City.
9. Get a bunch of seeds from Harold and Bob/Herbert and become the Johnny Appleseed of the Wasteland.
10. Publish a calendar entitled "The Bad Ghoul Gals of Underworld", featuring female ghouls in bikinis. Wonder why no one buys it.
11. Get the Family to establish a community theater group, and have them perform "Twilight".
12. Hack into Vault 112's computers. Restore the memories of the residents, and take away Braun's powers. Equip Tranquility Lane with lots of torches, plenty of pitchforks, and a limitless supply of tar and feathers.

More later. Be afraid. Be VERY afraid.
