    Meatbag leaves the vault with stats strangely similar to Hunter. Until junktown everything went almost similar to Shitstorm's attempt at finding the chip.

    [IMG]

    He went to shady sands, got the rope and ian(using speech). He entered vault 13 where a radscorpion was guarding the shack(this has happened to me only once before during Hunter's playthrough). The scorpion was defeated and Meatbag took his tail, he won't have to kill one at the lair how convenient! He easily cleared the vault(one mole rat crippled it's leg and I chased it through over half of Vault 15's level 3) and got the loot.

    The dead scorpion as seen by the vaults fearless hero when leaving vault 15 for good.

    [IMG]

    He returned to shady sands and went to the lair of the radscorpions. Meatbag planted the dynamite and set the charge to 20 seconds. Fortunately despite the bomb blowing up earlier than expected he managed to get far enough from the blast radius. He gave the tail to Razlo and healed the poisoned guy. Off to junktown, but wait! Raiders approach!
    Fortunately only one of them had a gun so running away wasn't necessary. They all died leaving behind corpses to plunder.

    [IMG]

    Upon entering junktown he helped killian by killing the shitty assassin and getting gizmo to confess on the tape. Meatbag helped in killing the fat bastard.

    [IMG]

    He went back to loot gizmo's corpse, get dogmeat and brake into the local bar using a side door which was open during the day in order to steal the urn in a very clumsy manner. The skulz ignored the urn so he decided to go back and start the scripted sequence with trish. Surprise surprise Neal noticed that Meatbag stole the urn and a fight broke out. Thank to the wonder of stimpaks Meatbag managed to survive and kill Tycho, Trish(ok dogmeat killed her) and Neal. This obviously pissed off the junktown guards and killian but more on that in a moment.

    [IMG]

    Now since meatbag was about to leave the town anyway he stopped at Killian's to get some supplies, but first he had to score some headshots with the god old hunting rifle. The guards were weak and died fast same goes for killian, Meatbag managed to dodge every enemy bullet and was unharmed. The vast riches of Killians safe awaited him after he picked the lock of course!

    [IMG]

    While leaving the town he stopped by at Doc Morbid's and he has found a retarded midget there who told him of bob and his secret ingredients. Along the way he killed 2 guards that were hostile, time to leave that hellhole known as junktown.

    [IMG]

    To the Hub! Along his way to the Hub he didn't encounter anything. Finally he reached the Hub and got a job at the far go traders involving mystary solving. Meatbag traded most of killians former possessions for a sniper rifle.

    [IMG]

    He then went to beth to get some cheap metal armor since that black guy who sold the rifle is greedy. That Far Go Traders discount came in handy. It was time to confront Bob about his shady dealings with the Doc, he didn't like Meatbag's demand of giving regular donations of 150 caps for Metabag's glorious quest for the waterchip. What a bastard!

    [IMG]

    So far so good, this time I'm avoiding Kane until I get combat armor or something.

    Hey Hellraiser, where did you find that hunting rifle? I've always heard there's one in Vault 15 but I've never been able to find it and I've searched every square of every room on level two.

    I didn't find out about this until reading Per's guide. There's a rifle on the second level of Vault 15 in the first toilet room on the far left corner. You have to look for it, but it's there.

    Here's a new daughter of the post nuclear era, here she is:

    [IMG]

    Since I read that gifted was generally discouraged I choose finesse and small frame. Well she's just a cute little girl all alone in the wastelands. What dangers could there be? Since she believes that everything can be solved by words and a physics book (and the occasional gunshot) I choose science, speech and small guns.

    So off I went to Shady Sands.. I recruited Ian and offered to help with the radscoprions..

    [IMG]

    ...but gilrs really shouldn't be trusted with weapons. I fired the trigger but I think I must have shot myself. Being a woman she dropped the gun and ran away screaming "Ian! Ian! Help!". Anyway thanks to him she's till alive and kicking.

    [IMG]

    Then I wen to the Vault 15 and cleared the area. No water chip there.. :( On the way back to shady sands I met this guy named Lance. Who the hell is this guy? Seriously. I never met him when I first played fallout. He didn't believe me that I was coming from the nearby vault.

    [IMG]

    After going back to Shady Sands I was asked to rescue the girl. I bartered two grenades and the dynamite for her. Later in Shady Sands she refused my lesbian advances. Hey Arjalys was just looking for some company, c'mon show some gratitude! :D

    After that I went to Junktown. It was late at night and the guard didn't let me in. I must have made a step too far and he started shooting. Ian decided that well he should be killed and so he did (while I was franctically running away). The guard was killed and well no one noticed. So i proceeded to help Killian in bringing Gizmo to justice. I also met the dog and Tycho.. Helped to frame the gang members by talking to the girl there. I also saved Synthia by giving 100$ to the crazy gang member.

    Well it seems she's still alive so far.. What does she have to fear? With two big men like Ian and Tycho :D We'll see what happens!

    Update: Billy

    After getting the reward for rescuing Tandi went to Vault 15. Cleared it out... did not find a rifle... though I did get an SMG I'm not planning to use. Very boring.

    So Billy set off to that place Junktown the villagers had mentioned. Arrival at 2 AM, manage to persuade my way through. Pretty much everything's shut. Chatted with the guard boss Lars, who tells me about these Skulz and that I should help him jail them.

    Did a tour of the town, find the General Store closed. Drop into the hotel and steal some stuff from drawers/bookshelves. Talk to the Skulz leader, who tells me Killian leaves them alone... Only thing open is the casino so I go there.

    With his high luck Billy is able to increase his cash from $650 to $1000 in a short time at the slot machines and roulette things. Wander through and he decides to check out this Gizmo guy everyone's talking about.

    Well the guy immediately offers him a job, to kill Kill-ian. Though I don't know who the fuck that is (except that he owns the store) I bullshit and haggle the price up to $1500, then refuse it. A bit dumb maybe since he now has to kill me, having told me his plans... but I didn't have a choice the moment I walked through the door.

    Billy takes a couple punches from the big negro bodyguard and pumps shells at him back. Ian, out of ammo kicks and punches the guard from behind. Meanwhile the fat fuck has pulled out a pistol and starts shooting at us which is a problem.

    Down to 10-15 health I run out of Gizmo's line of sight and shoot his guard as he comes round the corner (he panics and is finished off by Ian). I heal up spray Gizmo with that uzi which turned out to be useful.

    [IMG]

    Now Billy think about getting the fuck outta there. He just killed the first/second most powerful man in town and the casino was full of his men. Again the uzi gets used and I make it out.

    [IMG]

    Unfortunately when I go to see Killian in the morning he's not happy. I don't like the guy much, he's arrogant, rude and probably as crooked as Gizmo was. But I trade with him.

    [IMG]

    Lars isn't happy either. Fuck him... it was self-defence. What did he expect me to do? Gizmo left me no choice the second he started speaking to me. And anyway, wasn't my job to get the Skulz? Who happen to be tolerated by Killian, the man who hates Gizmo?

    Billy wonders how impartial the local cops really are, and if I shouldn't have accepted Gizmo's job.

    [IMG]

    After that I focussed on learning more about the Skulz. Befriended the girl gang member standing at the door. Found a loser in a nearby room who'll give me $100 every time I speak to him, thinking I'm from the casino come to collect debts. Pump him for info about the racket... though it's no use now Gizmo's dead and the casino is empty.

    Getting nowhere paid for a hotel room and was woken up an hour later, some crazy raider is threatening to kill the local whore. Tricked the Raider into thinking I was going to help him to get close and blow his brains out. Collected my reward from the hotel owner and the whore who told me all kinds of stuff about Gizmo... two days later does nobody in this town know he's dead?

    For anybody who intends to play Fallout 2 it is highly suggested that you use this patch. Normally on modern computers map travel doesn't work like it should in Fallout 2, so you'll need this patch to be able to have encounters at the normal rate.

    This will also be a new ground rule. I forgot about this starting my character, so I'm gonna have to work with a new one. Update in a second.

    I got the rifle from Kenji that shit assassins that tried to kill killian(on shitstorms playthrough he managed to score two criticals on Killian but the bastard was tougher than that). I never found the one in Vault 15.

    EDIT: Meatbag continues his epic quest! But the price he will have to pay for success may be to high to bear :(

    Feeling somewhat low on caps Meatbag decided to go hunting, hunting bank guards that is.
    Thanks to his wonderful sniping and stimpak injection skills he manages to survive and unlock the vault! The vast riches of Lorenzo's Friendly Lending Company await!

    [IMG]

    He then continues his investigation into the missing caravans mystary. What he finds is a loony who apparently saw a deathclaw. The madman takes Meatbag to the beats lair. After a several missed shots and used stimpaks the beast finally falls. Meatbag is surprised that he got out of the fight in one piece(thank the dice for rolling 1 damage point critical hits for the death claw).

    [IMG]

    With the beast dead, he proceeds to take the holodisk and manages to solve the mystary. He then heads out in the direction of a mysterious basement full of traps. Luckily the traps were some cheap chinese crap so everyone managed to survive the pathetic blast.

    [IMG]

    After surviving the explosion he finds a den of thieves! They say he can join if he steals a necklace from some hightower guy. The vaults hero waits for nightfall and sneaks into the house! He searches the strongbox for traps and he manages to find one.

    [IMG]

    "Whats up with all those chinese fireworks?" he says and proceeds to steal the necklace since the explosion destroyed the lock saving him time and effort. He manages to sneak out unseen and gives the necklace to Loxley, the reward he gets was worth the effort.
    Meatbag heads with a crimson caravan to necropolis where he thinks he'll find the chip.
    Along the way the caravan encounters raiders, fortunately Meatbag sensed their approach so he picked a good vantage point from which he scored some headshots.

    [IMG]

    After looting the remains of the raiders and arriving in necropolis he heads in the direction of the vault using the sewers, he encounters a shack with some green mutants. The fight was fierce but luckily for Meatbag the concept of friendly fire was alien to them. A flamethrower burst killed 2 mutants and dogmeat :( . Oh well his sacrifice won't go unnoticed. The pyromaniac mutant was killed soon afterwards and Dogmeat was avenged.

    [IMG]

    What happens next? Wait and see!

    What's with unofficial patches and mods? Because I'm using the Team X 1.2 and 1.3.2 patches, as well as their Fallout NPC and Update mod for Fallout.

    As long as none of them balance the game in your favor.

    Also, when I say preface the descriptions, I mean putting the smiley in front of your statement.

    Patterning Fallout characters after Codexers seems like a pretty fun idea. I picked a Codexer at random and it turned out to be Hanover.
    I couldn't get all of the stats to 10 so I maximized the ones that best describe Hanover.

    The Adventures of Brutilus, Smasher of Things

    [IMG]

    Brutilus is a master of the art of hitting. From a very young age he honed his hand to hand combat skills on the other children of the vault. Naturally certain people (who will be dealt with) did not respect his training regimen and he was shunned by the jealous bastards.

    [IMG]

    Stepping forward into a new world, full of things to hit, Brutilus chances upon a scurrying rodent who has the honor of becoming his first opponent in this new world.

    Brutilus headed towards Vault 15 to sort out this water chip mess but found himself in the quaint Hamlet of Shady Sands. Unfortunately his communications with the locals proved less than fruitful and he was forced to leave with a piece of rope and his pride.

    Saddened by the people in this new scary world Brutilus took a detour to 'Junktown' to see if he could not find some better conversationalists. Killian Darkwater instantly won his approval as a plain-spoken tell-it-like-it-is powermonger in town and he teamed up with the scruffy man to kill some yokel named Gizmo.

    [IMG]

    Brutilus loved the feel of his new leather armor, but he was wondering if maybe his trusty pig-sticker wasn't getting a bit dull by this point. He remembered hearing about a raider camp nearby and reasoned that they would have plenty of spiky weapons for sale.

    On his way there he was somehow ambushed by 10 foot long scorpions, must've been walking with his eyes closed again.

    [IMG]

    The scorpions make a lovely addition to his trophy case.

    [IMG]

    After striking up a conversation with one of the less odorous raiders he tries to purchase the finely crafted spear the man was holding, but negotiations proved tough.

    [IMG]

    Brutilus was forced to use some very persuasive sales techniques involving the softer parts of the human body.

    [IMG]
    All's well that ends well though.

    [IMG]

    Those raiders are chock full of vitamins and minerals and Brutilus hits Level 4.

    After taking a brief nap Brutilus returns to the raider camp to test out his shiny new spear.

    [IMG]

    Ouch, that'll leave a gaping hole in the ol' skull.

    Tune in next time for "Brutilus and the Sledgehammer: Love at first sight"

    Kingcomrat made it all the way to the military base aided greatly by a large supply of mentats and the fact the person playing him was smarter (my namesake seemed to suffer the opposite fate).

    Things didn't go well as Dogmeat was killed outside by stray minigun fire. :(

    Inside in an ominous bit of foreshadowing Katja quickly got incinerated by a rocket. :(

    Feeling cocky he allowed himself to be taken before the Lieutenant and heady with a stomach full of Mentats comrat told him off and combat started. It was going good at first but standing in the open stimpaks supplies were starting to dwindle so he made a break for cover out of line of sight. Just as he was one space from cover a rocket hit crited for 146 damage, and kingcomrat blew to pieces.

    The Continuation of Ashley J.

    I decided rather than go back to Shady Sands, I would go to Junktown instead. On the way I faced a random encounter with some radscorpions:

    [IMG]

    Then it happened again:

    [IMG]

    I finally reach Junktown and I go find out about the truth behind iguana-on-a-stick because of some retard midget. I may go back and kill him later.

    I talk with Killian and afterwards encounter the assassin and assist in his death:
    [IMG]

    Afterwards I went to Gizmos to get the confession. I did, and then being an asshole I did the "can you speak into the microphone" deal and had to fight Gizmo. Ian was dealing with the black bodyguard and knocked him unconscious with the power of bullets. I managed critical hits as I shot them in the head with a hunting rifle:
    [IMG]

    With the hole in his head Gizmo would be ready for a later skullfucking.

    But Ian still being the asshole that he is manages to shoot me in the back once more. If he dies during the course of this game, it will be because of me:

    [IMG]

    I then got Dogmeat and went to talk to the Skulz people and said I'd kill Killian. I didn't actually plan on it though.

    But then I got in a conversation with a guard and accidentally clicking fast like a dumbass, I got into combat with him and sealed the fate of Junktown. I had to kill basically everyone there now. Starting with Killian and his people since they were hostile. After killing them all without help from Ian or Dogmeat who were somewhere off screen, I decided to take all of Killian's things but had the kindness to leave him something very useful to me:

    [IMG]

    At some point during this time I had gained a level and forgot to get a screenshot, but it's unimportant anyway. I next moved onto Lars:

    [IMG]

    And then the guard at the exit:

    [IMG]

    As they said after Killing Killian, Junktown will never be the same.

    Meatbag's epic quest continues after he stops mourning the loss of his faithful canine companion. He looks around for the pump parts the ghouls in the sewers told him about and kills several molerats before finding the parts. He tries ti fix the pump using the parts and his godly skill of 17% repair. The result is hilarious!

    [IMG]

    Greatly annoyed by the bullshit the ancients called repair he decides to screw the ghouls and get the waterchip while leaving them to die of thirst. Killing several glowing ghouls along the way he reaches the old destroyed vault, he finds some rad-x in the only locker that wasn't looted. He finally finds the chip in the local water purification computer. The ghouls near it weren't particularly fond of vault dwellers stealing waterchips. Fortunately Meatbag's gunpowder persuasion in the form of headshots convinced them to leave him alone.

    [IMG]

    He heads out towards the Crimson Caravan guy and heads back to the hub encountering some pathetic ghoul raiders along the way. 3 headshots later the battle ends unfavorably for the ghouls. Once Meatbag collected the 600 caps from the black guy he goes back to his home and returns the chip. The vault is saved but the mutant threat needs to be taken care out. The hero of the vault heads out to shady sands where he learns that the whore named tandi got kidnapped. One grenade and several headshots later the raiders are almost all dead.

    :( Unfortunately Ian was killed by the last raider who went off map, the bastard!

    [IMG]

    With tandi and two slaves saved Meatbag returns to Shady Sands where he gets a reward. From there he travels to the headquarters of the evil puppy sacrificing cult which he wants to join, unfortunately he needs to visit a radioactive hellhole before he can join.
    Meatbag heads out to the Hub where he gets some recreational pharmaceutical substances and anti-radiation drugs. He also has helped some Irwin guy with his Raider infestation problem. Several headshots and missed grenade throws later the raiders are dead with one grenade dropped by accident.

    [IMG]

    A job well done! Now after collecting his reward and buying a rope Meatbag heads out to the Glow. When he arrives he sees a burned corpse of a loser and a giant crater. All alone he explores and loots the glow after consuming certain drugs that is. There was a generator that could have been repaired there but knowing Meatbag's mad repair skills it would most likely result in the second nuclear holocaust. He returns to the Brotherhood HQ to hear that he is accepted! The guard opens the elevator door for him.

    [IMG]

    Will the Vault's new hero score more headshots? Or will he end up slained by big homoerotic mutants? We will find out soon enough!

    Death of Ashley J.

    I left Junktown to return to Vault 15.

    There were two encounters once again, obviously that one extra point in luck I decided to give didn't work out.
    [IMG]

    and:

    [IMG]

    Then we finally made it to Vault 15. We went through and I was destroying rats with a shotgun. We get to the last level of the Vault and while I'm fighting some rats, Ian being a retard decides to leave where I am at and go fight other rats. He then proceeds to be gang raped by 3 pig rats, who on their first attack knock him down then continue for a few turns while I try to save him, only to have him die. So Ian = :(

    [IMG]

    After Ian's death I decided to return to Shady Sands to then return to the raiders. Along the way, there was another god damn encounter. This time with Mantis.

    [IMG]

    I decided to trade some grenades I wouldn't be able to throw for the girl. Purely for the fact that I don't feel like getting murdered. So once again I return a hero and hit on the girl, and am rejected. She had an annoying as voice anyway.

    [IMG]

    I decided since I lost Ian to return to Junktown believing I'd be able to get Tycho even though I murdered basically everyone last time. I decided to first pay a visit to the Skulz, who attacked me. This should've been a sign to me, but I decided to try to find Tycho anyway. So I kill the Skulz easily with one heatshot. Except for Vinnie who was only unconscious.

    I then decided to go to the bar for Tycho. With the obvious stupid thought that they wouldn't attack. Needless to say, they attacked. I left the bar and tried to fight them one by one, but the barkeep and Tycho came out and ganged around me. Dogmeat tried to help, but he barely did damage. He managed to survive when the barkeep shot me in the face ending Ashley J. I was unable to get a screen of my demise.

    New character: Fuckface

    Being a fuckface, I had to give him low charisma:

    Fuckface kills the rats and then leaves the Vault and ventures to Shady Sands.

    He recruits Ian and goes to the Radscorpion caves and kills them all. I managed to get poisoned but it went away by the time I got back to Shady Sands.

    Fuckface goes to Junktown skipping past the raiders. In Junktown he assists Killian correctly and doesn't get bitched at by Lars. Instead he joins Lars in killing Gizmo:

    After this, Fuckface would reach level 3:

    Fuckface next went and got Dogmeat. He continued from there to get Tycho in the bar.

    After seeing the murder of the Skulz in the bar, Fuckface decided to talk to the Skulz about it. He asked to join them and to prove it, he had to steal the urn from the bar. Fuckface attempted, but since he has no skill he was caught by the barkeep. He and the rest of the bar decided to attack. All the people in the bar were killed, Fuckface and his crew lived on:

    Then he came to give the urn to the Skulz. He talked to the Skulz but they never took the urn. He then talked to Victor, who decided to attack him. The outcome:

    The urn was given to Vinnie though, only after all his things were stolen. From here Fuckface managed to earn the ire of Lars, and ended up having to kill him and the gate guard. From here they left to look around the Hub:

    At the brotherhood Meatbag got some operations and new armor. This made him tougher, faster and more accurate. Unfortunately this left him with barely any caps left...

    [IMG]

    Meatbag learns that he may get POWAH AHMAH if he rescues some idiot that disappeared in the Hub. He also learns hat the elders want someone to scout out the north, he agrees to do that and gets a ripper from Mathia. Several days later he arrives at the Hub and rescues the initiate.

    [IMG]

    It turned out Kane knows if Meatbag's exploits over at junktown, he offers a job. Unluckily for him it will be his last offer. Being the hero of the damned that Meatbag is he walks over to the nearest police department and double crosses Kane and Decker.

    Another victory for the greater good. Meatbag returns to the PD to get his reward, he also gets some small energy cells for the ripper and some caps for all the stuff that once belonged to decker and his goons. After a short journey back to the brotherhood bunker, he tells Talus of his exploits and is rewarded with a POWAH AHMAH, finally.

    He heads out towards the ruins of Los Angeles where he learns that some chemist wants some parts protected by deathclaws and that some gang wants weapons to kill the Regulators. Meatbag convinces Katja to join his glorious quest, she didn't knew what kind of trouble she would get into. While heading out towards the gunrunners stronghold Meatbag exterminated a whole family of deathclaws, Katja aided him in that task with her ripper.

    The gun runners liked that so they offered to give a ton of weapons to the Blades, they also gave Meatbag a discount. He stocked up on plasma grenades and went back to Blade. Attacking along with her, he killed lots of regulator scumbags. Ah the smell of fresh corpses waiting to be looted.

    [IMG]

    He gave Miles the parts he wanted and later the Chemistry Journals. This resulted in HARDENED POWAH AHMAH! Armed and dangerous he heads out into the norther wastes. He finds a base guarded by those bloody mutants there, nothing a few shots aimed right between the eyes can't fix. That better criticals perk came in handy. Now he decided to do some prank radio calls.

    [IMG]

    After picking the lock with his electronic lockpicks he was attacked by some mutant guards with heavy weapons.

    :( Unfortunately Katja didn't survive the blast.

    [IMG]

    Using explosives he brought along with himself and some he later found in the base Meatbag prepares his escape route by destroying force field emitters. The mutants found along the way were no challenge for his superior sniping skills.

    [IMG]

    [IMG]

    Surprisingly Meatbag managed to fix the maintenance robot.

    [IMG]

    The robot was somewhat suicidal but he took out a force field emitter along with itself.
    This allowed meatbag to access the V.A.T.S maintance computer, Meatbag was disappointed that his hacking skills didn't allow him to enable him to do bullet time stunts.
    Well at least he managed to decode the security codes.

    [IMG]

    300 seconds was enough to escape since the forcefields along the way were either damaged or destroyed. The Vault's hero looks at his marvelous achievement.

    [IMG]

    He returns to the brotherhood, along his way he encounters some mutants which he decided to avoid. He also encounters a british police box.

    [IMG]

    The bastard elders didn't reward meatbag for his brave deeds with experience points. No wonder nobody else wanted to do that job....

    Now with the vats destroyed there is only one last thing to do in order to save the Vault.

    I seem to be incapable of remembering to take screenshots after character creation...

    Anyway here's my character I used to attempt the pacifist route through Fallout2:
    [IMG]

    Much like her political namesake Hillary can't be bothered with touchy-feely side-quest crap, she's all business. In Klamath some retard asked for help, but she blew him off. Same with the assholes asking her to refuel stills and look for missing trappers. She found Vic's house, stole everything that wasn't nailed down for clues, then started asking around town to figure out where he might have gone to. The whore said he'd probably gone to the Den, so off she went.

    In the Den the word on the street was that Vic was in trouble with the Slavers, so she started there. Metzger let her chat with Vic, but Vic kept whining about needing his freedom before he'd say where Vault 13 is. So after helping Vic fix a radio, sleeping with that slimeball Metzger, selling everything she owned, and then getting lucky gambling she was able to buy Vic's freedom. Of course the asshole had no idea where Vault 13 was, but he did know about a place called Vault City.

    On the way to Vault City, Hillary was able to avoid several encounters with nasty wildlife by using her Outdoorsman skills. At one point she got caught between a Vault City patrol and some bandits. Hillary got clear of the cross-fire, but Vic wasn't so lucky. He bought it in a spray of automatic fire from the supposedly friendly patrol. Losing Vic wasn't so bad though, seeing as she found a ton of guns on the bodies which came in handy for replenishing the G.E.C.K. search fund.

    In Vault City, everyone was suitably impressed with Hillary's authentic vault suit. She was able to walk right up to the first citizen and learn that the location of Vault 13 was most likely available in the Vault City vault's computer. Unfortunately they only let citizens in to use the computers. She tried her hand at the citizenship test, but clearly she hadn't studied enough science (and since when would a tribal have studied science anyway?). So instead she got stuck traipsing over to Gecko to see about stopping their pollution of the ground water.

    In Gecko Harold told her he could fix that problem if he had some Hy-mag-whatsit, and the Vault City people probably have one. This is getting old fast.

    Back in Vault City, the first citizen was a total bitch about handing over the necessary part. At this point Hillary wasn't sure what to do, so she wandered aimlessly around Vault City and Gecko. Lenny the ghoul started following her around, as did Cassidy the barkeep. She found some kids missing toy, and then found a wrench the kid had hidden under some rocks. She helped some bitchy mechanic by giving her the tools, but that didn't seem to help anything. She did a scout sweep around Vault City for the head of the Corrections office, where both Cassidy and Lenny managed to get killed before she could run away. Finally in a fit of desperation she went back to the first citizen's office, and got some help from an underling to get the part for Gecko! After picking up the part she rushed out of town to take it back to Harold, but on the way there, she got gunned down by a slaver gang.

    And so ended Hillary the Chosen One's quest for the G.E.C.K. I don't think I've ever made it that far in fallout 2 that quickly before, the whole run was only an hour and a half.
