Part 12: In time, you may come back some day, to live once more, or die once more... Previous: Part 11: Just because there are alternatives doesn't mean they apply to you...   There's nothing very special about Fort Hagen, except for the fact that for a prewar military installation that's had two hundred years of time to be looted, there's still quite a bit of military equipment around. That is, weapons and ammunition and stuff like that, in the lower levels. The upper levels of the base doesn

Part 11: Just because there are alternatives doesn't mean they apply to you... Previous: Part 10: I watched as the Lamb opened the first of seven seals...   Convenient. What does it mean, exactly? A dictionary may define the word as "fitting in well with a person's needs, activities, and plans." Another definition might be "involving little trouble or effort." Perhaps you might define it as "situated so as to allow easy access to." Convenient may also be a different way of saying suitable, fav

Damn. I completely forgot about this. This week has been hectic for me... sorry, folks. So here's a quickie little thing to tide y'all over. I'll be out of town for a few days, possibly as long as a week, which means probably no update at all next week. Sorry!   SoleSurvivor97: Satellite array has one satellite. Can you still call it an array? #arraywithsingleelementstillanarray   banditboys: ohshit here she is again #runforthehills   want_some_maggots: Bzz? Bzz!   beepBEEPbeepBEEP: wel

Part 10: I watched as the Lamb opened the first of seven seals... Previous: Part 9: For we who grew up tall and proud, in the shadow of the mushroom cloud...   Park Street Station. You'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. I believe the quote continues from that point, mentioning something about "caution," but Clara doesn't seem to know what the word means most of the time. Blundering about, wildly shooting her explosive tommygun, she makes enough noise at the best of times

Part 9: For we who grew up tall and proud, in the shadow of the mushroom cloud... Previous: Part 8: We are the order piercing forward...   A gentle answer may turn away wrath, and a harsh word may stir up anger, but it is my belief that the soft voice of a silenced .308-caliber sniper rifle is probably the best argument starter out there, while the loud report of a fully automatic 12-gauge shotgun tends to end them. Clara subscribes to this belief as well, and she proceeds to prove it empirica

Part 8: We are the order piercing forward... Previous: Part 7: Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns...   What is with the various groups of people around the Commonwealth trusting strangers at the drop of a hat? Frequently they'll hang a lampshade on their actions by saying something along the lines of "we never trust strangers but we're trusting YOU" as they hand Clara the keys to the bunker, the missile launch codes, the secret to longevity, or a great big gun. Individuals and org

Part 7: Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns... Previous: Part 6: One act of kindness, one act of cruelty...   A word to the wise - if you are recruiting members for a paramilitary group and you cannot finance training or budget in equipment, it's probably best to avoid recruiting unarmed civilians with no experience in combat. If you are building outposts in the wilderness that must survive deadly radiation storms, Super Mutant attacks, food shortages, and extremes of weather, it's

Part 6: One act of kindness, one act of cruelty... Previous: Part 5: You take your time, you do your work well...   Dear reader, at this juncture I would encourage you to drop whatever it is you are doing (unless it has a biohazard symbol stamped on it) and heed my words now - when someone gives you a quest to go kill a whole factory full of raiders, don't take it. Not unless you have your own factory-sized group of well-armed, well-armored, well-motivated people backing you up, and you can so

April Fool's Day Entry Your regularly scheduled Vault Suit diary will return tomorrow. Which is, like, four hours from now. So your regularly scheduled Vault Suit diary will return in four hours. In the meantime, let's bring us all up to speed on what's happened in the story so far, eh? I might end up doing this from time to time, recapping via Buzzer. This continues from the first one (link) (special thanks to an anthropomorphic cow)       SoleSurvivor97 is ONLINE.   SoleSurvivor97: Godda

Part 5: You take your time, you do your work well... Previous: Part 4: The blind dogs of the sun in their running...   Clara is a hoarder of the first order, I think I've already mentioned. Upon reaching any new workbench, anywhere, she immediately drops whatever she's doing and scraps or stores every single item she can find within to the fullest extent of the available building area. However, unlike typical hoarders who just, you know, hoard, Clara also uses the random bits of trash she find

Part 4: The blind dogs of the sun in their running... Previous: Part 3: The last to fall were the buildings, distant and solemn...   Mole rats. Disgusting creatures. I saw some down by the water recently, I steered clear of them. To be sure, they're easy kills, despite their penchant for burrowing through concrete and immediately popping up dozens of yards away as if they move faster while digging than in the open air. Clara and her newfound canine friend tear through a handful, and then Clara

No, don't worry, this isn't going to delay the next entry. I'm trying for one a week, you know. This is just an extra for all you loyal readers out there (both of you).   Disclaimer: I have never had a twitter account, I don't follow people's twitter accounts, and I'm really not all that sure what the point is in general. However, I do understand that they are supposed to be quick sound-byte-style personal news updates limited to a certain number of characters, right? And that's where the whol

Part 3: The last to fall were the buildings, distant and solemn... Previous: Part 2: In streams of light I clearly saw...   Having been crafted in a factory, immediately boxed, and not unboxed until safely ensconced in Vault 111, I cannot speak to how the world looked before the bombs. For all I know, it was always a desolate landscape filled with rundown buildings and populated with hostile people bent on taking whatever they want from whoever they want in whatever way they want. We are close

Previous: Part 1: This is the way the world ends...   Do you have any idea how absolutely boring it is to spend two hundred years in an icebox, frozen to the skin of a lawyer? No, of course you don't. Very few people do, and they should be jolly thankful for that. I was given a golden opportunity to cultivate a real appreciation for all the nuances of tediousness, and let me tell you, I took that opportunity and really went to town with it. The clic

Part 1: This is the way the world ends... Previous: TOC   Hello, gentle reader. I am... uh... hmm. To be honest, I'm not quite sure how to start.   At this point in any respectable narrative, the narrator (that's me) is generally supposed to tell you their name. Call me Ishmael, There was me, that is Alex, I am Jacob Horner, My name is Bruce... all the classics have the main character introduce themselves, if not in the very first sentence, then at least somewhere in the beginning.   The p

Part 0: Fallout 4 Playthrough, notes and TOC

Okay, here we go again, with another long-winded, complaint-intensive playthrough.   This time, I'm planning things out in advance, which is a little different from my usual method of randomly banging my hands on the keyboard and seeing what pops out.   Also, I'm doing it in third person this time. Now this may seem counterintuitive, considering that Fallout 4's design prominently features the first person, even moreso than Skyrim. The voiced player dialogue, for example, and the way the cam
