[WhiskeyWolf]

Well, you can't be awesome forever.

 

[spekkio]

I wanna die!

Welcome to the team, meatbag.

I removed portraits that were/are in use from the post on 1st page to avoid possible cofusion.

 

[eklektyk]

Jet another bloody death :mycunningplanworks: soon I will kill foes too

 

[spekkio]

Two turns later, Bro is able to punish Wolf's rapist.

Too bad that he was too late...

I switch to Lette, who tries to take 2nd guardian from behind. The problem is, she fails:

She pwns him with 2nd attack and heals herself

Bro and Monkey continue south. This building is empty:

They reveal three mutants in three different locations. Bro moves NE:

Monkey north and upstairs

He reveals more enemies next to Bro's target (on of them is a commander):

Lette crawls near the northern entrance to the final building. She kills one of the mutants wasting two shots and some health:

Bro and Monkey attack their targets. I've totally forgotten about root! He goes west, finds another enemy:

Monkey's target moves closer to him. Monkey should stop him ASAP. Let's try aimed shots:

root attacks another mutant

Bro does his job too. Lette can't sneak - some enemy is still close.

After a long while (and with some help from commander shooting his unit in the ass), Bro kills his target. He switches to commander:

Monkey goes back near the place where Wolf died and pwns the KOed mutant

Lette finds her enemy

root kills his target. Monkey joins him. Another mutant found:

After some nice shooting Monkey kills him inflicting 50 points of damage with Sniper Rifle

It will take forever for Bro to kill the commander. Lette joins him.

She rushes in and... misses her enemy (his evade rate is insane):

Lette tries again:

She's unable to sneak - somebody is still inside. Monkey and root carefully check the building where 1st commander was:

In one of the lockers root finds his 1st Energy Weapon

He and Monkey continue south, finding the final (?) enemy in this area

Lette uses her ninja skills to kill him

She loots the place finding FN Fal Rifle, goes back to the previous building and carefully sneaks through the western entrance.
I wasn't even able to take screenshots this time. Third commander is dead:

All units level up.
Bro increases SG and EW

Monkey: SG, First Aid and Sneak

root: EW

Lette: BG

Bro goes back to the church and speaks with the mayor

Bro will once again act as our mule

Other units loot the map thoroughly. It takes some time...

Monkey finds a new shotgun in the building where the final commander was hiding

root finds two Avenger Miniguns (shittiest BG possible)

With everything dumped into Bro's inventory, we move onto the exit grid

General Dekker

The initial Super Mutant offensive was crushed and Smear and Shadow Squads are now standing watch over Gravestone. The Bishop proved true to his word and has provided the nuclear bomb, which he kept calling "Plutonius," to the Brotherhood. The mutants' have experienced horrific losses lately and it will take some time for them to mount another attack of such magnitude.

The bomb is on its way with captured Beastlords and raiders hauling the radioactive nuke to an underground, lead shielded bunker - under armed supervision of course. Unfortunately, with both Rad-X and Rad-Away supplies used only for high priority missions, the prisoners will have to manage as best they can.

This is war, brother, and war is hell. But take heart - while they will die a delerious, vomiting death, they will do so to help restore civilization from the ashes. Not everyone in the Wasteland would be so lucky.

Only a handful of Gravestone's ghouls died during the Super-Mutant siege. The Bishop thinks his "pagan god" is responsible for this and will now freely give any documentation and knowledge about the nuclear device. This will save our scribes the time to research the bomb and allow them to continue on other high priority projects.

You are setting the standard for excellence, Brother.

You are dismissed.

We leave this cursed place leaving corpses of our two dear comrades behind...

Bunker Gamma again:

Once more, there are no new recruits in RC.
Two new members join our mighty team: Warcupine and Eklek.

Since they were created ~Lv. 8 AFAIR, I don't even have to fix them using savegame editor.
Warcupine picks up BRD, More Criticals (x2) and Sharpshooter

Eklek is a different case. With LK=4 he's unable to pick up BRD or More Criticals.



He picks up Sharpshooter, Dodger

Healer

And Action Boy (initially I picked up Bonehead but fixed this with savegame editor - I forgot to check his AP).

Warcupine has 220 SPs available. He invests into: SG, Science (using three books), Lockpick, EW and Sneak (no point in increasing weapon skills even more)

Eklek has 176 SPs, he spends them on BG, Traps and Sneak

Bro sells everything, buys one Energy Pistol for Warcupine (Bro will be using a FN Fal and Monkey will equip the new Shotgun) and two Environmental Armours for root and Warcupine.

We lost a negro girl in last mission, but gained a turbonegro instead (I'm using original files/models of recruits with desired face):

Bro goes to speak with General Dekker

General Dekker

Be at ease, Warrior.

We have a confirmation on the whereabouts of the Super Mutant leader. As you are probably well aware, he calls himself Gammorin. We have recently linked him to the late Paladin Latham, one of the finest warriors present on the Great Air Convoy. He was believed dead, but after all these years, he has resurfaced under a different identity and a much different purpose.

This revelation explains how the Super Mutants were able to counter our battle tactics and reconnaissance efforts, as Paladin Latham wrote many of the procedures that we use today. At first, we believed the mutants had successfully interrogated General Barnaky. But records prove that our methods were compromised before the general fell into enemy hands.

Even now, many of the Elders are having trouble coming to terms with the fact that he has betrayed us and turned against the Order - but the truth must not be denied.

You have two objectives for this mission.

Your first objective is to assassinate Gammorin. He is a dangerous man and his knowledge of our inner working could prove our undoing. Without his guidance, the Super-Mutants will lack the leadership and discipline to be a continual threat.

Your second objective is to recover General Barnaky. All facts indicate that he will be kept close to Gammorin.

Assemble your squad immediately.

Dismissed.

We take a group photo and hit the road.

 

[Azira]

 

[spekkio]

I think that some new recruits should show up in Recruitment Center after next mission.
I've already prepared recruit files for our 4 new soldiers, check out if everything is correct.
Perks chosen, Skill Points not touched.

Ashery

He was a bitch to create since I couldn't confirm if all modifications to recruit's file were correct.
With human recruits I first create them from scratch, take a screenshot, then I start modifying the desired recruit's file (changing stats, perks, etc. and bringing him/her back to Lv. 1 and leveling up again) and take another screenshot. After that I compare both screenshots looking for possible differences (errors).

But creating a ghoul from scratch is AFAIK impossible (?), even after changing the race to "ghoul" you don't receive two more CPs for example.
After analyzing files of ghoul recruits with editor, I've concluded that they differ from humans in following aspects:

• -5 HP,
• +2 Character Points
• +10 percentage points in Poison resistance
• +40 percentage points in Radiation resistance
• Perk Rate =4

Can anyone confirm this?

Other fags were much easier:

Poncho

Lemmy

Otto

IN 4
LK 4

So... Tell me, dawg, which perks should I choose for you, since your recruit is unable to choose BRD, More Criticals, Sharpshooter and BRoF...



One more thing: I shouldn't probably spoiling this, but here's a photo of some... thing that root is working on in his spare time:

 

[Cassidy]

[Perception]

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Why haven't you modded in portraits?

Also, the ultimate recruit for the group (late game as well) with nearly perfect stats and equipment should be none other than the supreme bro himself, BLOBERT (complete with portrait).

 

[Infantryman]

So... Tell me, dawg, which perks should I choose for you, since your recruit is unable to choose BRD, More Criticals, Sharpshooter and BRoF...

Action Boy (2)
Dodger
Bone Head

 

[ghostdog]

Lemmy :

On second thought, I'd like to give one point from charisma to perception.

 

[marooned]

Looking good.

 

[spekkio]

Why haven't you modded in portraits?

And why should I? Such things are simply gay...

The ultimate recruit for the group (late game as well) with nearly perfect stats and equipment should be none other than the supreme bro himself, BLOBERT (complete with portrait).

We don't need BLOBERT when such hardcore muthas are already ingame:

Besides, I think that BRO (his "owner") already participated in this thread and died for our sins...

Infantryman & ghostdog: It will be done.

 

[spekkio]

Probably the most difficult mission in the entire game.

Mission 12 - Osceolla

General Dekker

Be at ease, Warrior.

We have a confirmation on the whereabouts of the Super Mutant leader. As you are probably well aware, he calls himself Gammorin. We have recently linked him to the late Paladin Latham, one of the finest warriors present on the Great Air Convoy.

Assemble your squad immediately.

Dismissed.

Eklek (our trap specialist) picks up the content of nearby crate

We should split into two teams: Bro, Monkey and Eklek will go N, root, Lette and WC will go E.

1st team spots some mutant

He goes back into the building and turns alarm on
2nd team moves E, reveals more enemies:

Suddenly, enemy patrol shows up close to the 1st team!

I desperately try to switch into aggressive mode. It's semi-successful:

2nd team reveals another enemy in the 1st team's area

Fuck.
There's only one good tactic here: we should use one unit as a "spotter". He/she will be shooting enemies from a distance trying to catch their attention (and fire).
Other units will stay hidden and play pop-a-mole with enemies that won't be able to shoot them.

Bro will be our spotter. He shoots 1st mutant (misses):

Enemy shoots back and misses too (thank god). Monkey pops out, shoots him, hides:

Eklek pops out too, but due to low accuracy (WTF are these guys?), he has to go back into hiding:

2nd team moves NE

Enemies try to rape Bro, but they miss. Monkey popamoles them once more:

Eklek does the same, with laughable outcome:

2nd team continues E, root spots two enemies

In next turn Bro not only dodges enemy fire, but also:

Monkey and Eklek rape the KOed enemy (where's your dodging ability now, bitch?)

root acts as our 2nd spotter - he attacks two mutants to the north (0% accuracy, but they know where the shots came from)

A shrapnel from enemy grenade fucks up Bro's right arm

But he still has a Sniper Rifle in his left hand!

Monkey kills Bro's rapist

Eklek attacks the remaining one

Enemy A.I. has one important flaw: if it doesn't have any targets visible, it rushes in the direction where last contact was seen.
As you can see here, enemies that was attacked by root in previous turn rushed in his direction, meeting a barrel of Lette's gun

She inflicted 299 points of damage!
root finds more enemies

Similar thing happens to the west: enemy can't see us, so he rushes forward, only to be killed by Monkey

Bro fixes his own broken arm

Eklek sneaks north, Lette stands up, gets shot, shoots back (56% accuracy):

WC and root join her

Bro finds another enemy

And softens him up, Eklek takes him out

root heals Lette, Eklek finds two melee mutants. Despite 90% accuracy, lousy negro misses them!

Monkey helps him

Eklek moves west, both enemies follow him. He takes them out:

Shit almost hits the fan to the east: some enemy rushes close to the building where all three our soldier are.
Thank god, he only takes something from one of the corpses and withdraws.

Monkey heals himself at last, Bro loots the area

Eklek and Warcupine leveled up. WC increases Sneak and FA:

Eklek increases Sneak and Doctor:

We are ready to continue our assault

Let's put these mines Eklek gathered to some use...

 

[eklektyk]

[Smugness] First KILL !!!

Please Continue.

 

[spekkio]

Bro checks out the situation

Except the guards, site looks clear.
Eklek moves east to lay some mines. Suddenly, a wild mutant patrol appears!

Eklek follows them in a distance

And starts laying mines on their patrol route

Luckily for him, the guards at the southern gate didn't mind

Eklek hides in the building where root and WC are.
After a moment one of the mutants triggers a mine. Two of them show up close to the building:

Eklek pops out, kills one of them, but the other one counterattacks

Thank god that the burst bug spared root and WC this time.
Eklek switches gun (low accuracy) but isn't able to kill the enemy

Lette joins Eklek, who kills the enemy at last. Warcupine leaves his hiding place, gets shot by another mutant who was still lurking nearby:

Dumb bastard didn't spot Lette. A big mistake:

root heals WC, we wait for some time but no more patrols show up.
Eklek goes out to pick up the mines (for future use).
I didn't know that using Traps Skill to disarm something disables Sneak, but Eklek survied

He mines the western entrance this time

root attacks the guards at the southern gate, hoping that they leave their post and run into the minefield.
Problem is, they decide to keep their post. Still they can't hit root back, so their death is simply a question of time

WC pulls the exact same trick at the western gate

The key to winning in such situation is using only one sniper against enemies equipped with burst weapons (to avoid burst bug).
More enemies show up after a while:

Thanks to Bro's Awareness I know that they're melee. Let's wait till they come close.
Bro joins WC. He attacks from different area, so burst bug should not affect him.

Our units from left to right: Bro, Monkey (hiding), WC, Lette & Eklek (hiding), root.
Using two snipers shooting from the same area is a suicide - enemies will target one of them and kill the other one due to the bug.
But if you use only one unit, everything should be fine.

And enemies only make this easier, shooting their BROS-in-arms in the back:

Monkey joins the battle as well

Lette moves NW to help snipers against melee units. root switches to his lazor pistol

The battle continues. Enemy mutant moves closer and closer to root, but that only makes hitting him easier

I could've used Eklek to kill the enemy, but let's keep him hidden for later use

Enemies at the western gate are close to the mines at last!

Monkey scores a 53 HP hit with a Sniper Rifle

root takes out the melee mutant

Enemies botch our perfect plan:

Monkey switches to the shotgun, kills one of them

Warcupine takes out the more dangerous one

He changes his weapon and target

Enemy survives four shots from WC's pistol. Monkey inclines the situation:

Eklek leaves his position, moves N, attacks the enemy, but isn't able to kill him!

R.I.P. Bro!
Our negro is lucky this time - enemy is either out of ammo or took an oath not to kill black people. He does nothing during computer turn.
Eklek shows him some Black Power:

Bro checks out the enemy perimeter inside the base:

Lette finds another hidden enemy. Bro flushes him out:

Lette does the rest:

Eklek disarms remaining mines

It's time to attack the interior!

 

[Azira]

Nice update!

And monkey's proving useful, that's nice to see. Lovely crit there, 53 dam with a sniper rifle.

 

[spekkio]

Yup, he's not the only one with More Criticals + BRD combo, but he is the best, scoring one crit after another.

 

[Azira]

The Kamikaze trait helps with pure damage as well. Just glad to see my build working as I'd intended it to.

 

[spekkio]

Eklek moves east, disarms another mine very close to enemy guards

root moves SE, tries to flush the mutant out. It's quite effective (mutant shoots back)

Eklek moves in, kills him with two shots

Monkey spots more enemies

Bro blows up a gas tank behind one of the enemies

Warcupine moves inside the base using the southern entrance, attacks one of the four mutants

root and Eklek await enemies in safe place

Monkey moves inside the base too, he hides in SW corner of the base. Enemies keep shooting (and missing) Bro & WC:

WC changes the target

Monkey attacks the melee mutant who moved closer to WC

Bro pwns his first target

Melee mutant reaches Warcupine, who moves west a little. Eklek kills the attacker, hurting Monkey a bit:

Monkey and WC continue their sniping

Bro finds and attacks another enemy

WC scores another kill

One of remaining two mutants hits Monkey (burst bug most likely)

Monkey goes into hiding. Luckily for us, enemies make our life easier:

Bro kills his 2nd target

Two or more enemies to the north

Enemy mutant makes our life even easier:

Monkey moves north, finds another enemy

Our snipers should handle the situation inside the base. root moves south, attacks one of the mutants guarding the staircase

Monkey KOs his target, finds another enemy

In next turn, he scores another kill

Lette joins the battle by killing enemy grenadier (standing next to current Bro's target)

WC kills the last (?) enemy in the SE area

Eklek tries to attack the enemies by moving clockwise around the pipes.
There are three or more mutants in this area. Given enough time, they should kill themselves on their own...

Monkey attacks another mutant - the one standing next to Bro's target

Lette tries to sneak to the NW corner

Eklek reaches destination point without being spotted

Still, attacking three enemies equipped with burst weapons is not a good idea. Let's wait for root to kill at least one of them.
WC moves east, reveals positions of two enemies

Lette blows up a petrol tank, hurting one of the mutants

Bro kills him. WC engages another target:

root KOes one of the three guards

Two others are hiding. root moves east to reveal their positions.
Monkey gets shot, but Lette kills the enemy responsible for that

root finds 3rd guard, Eklek kills him (once again, he needed two shots to do his job )

WC scores yet another kill

Eklek kills 1st guard (the KOed one)

He goes back north, leaving his ass exposed to the remaining enemy:

R.I.P. Bro!

WC finds some enemy on the lower level (underground?)

Monkey moves NE, finds two new enemies hiding inside the building

Warcupine's eagle eye can pierce even a concrete roof it seems

Eklek got lucky again - enemy went after root

root takes enemy bullets as a man - he stands up and GTFO. Eklek steps in, ends the final guard:

It's time for Monkey, Lette and Bro to take out some campers:

Stay tuned!

 

[marooned]

You're doing great, man.

 

[eklektyk]

sheeeet so far I am lucky as hell.
Hope it will hold in DA future.

and as always awsom and entertaining update

 

[spekkio]

Eklek's inability to kill an enemy with a single shot could be troublesome in the long run...

But still:

 

[spekkio]

Eklek shoots the enemy in the basement until he hides

Lette parades in front of the enemies undetected

Bro acts as a spotter, drawing enemy fire. Lette pops out and attacks:

No kills this time - she hides. Enemies hit Bro (decline!), Lette tries again:

Warcupine acts as second spotter

Monkey leaves his hiding spot behind the corner, pwns the enemy

WC reveals two snipers hiding at the top of the tower to the east

Monkey heals Bro.
There's another enemy on the ground level, sleeping/unconscious. Lette kills him:

Lette moves N, root NE. Both of them spot mines. There's also some strange wreck to the north

Lette, Bro and Monkey clear the northern minefield

root and Eklek do the same in the eastern part of the map

Monkey continues east, unharassed by the snipers. There's some enemy on the ground level as well. Monkey pwns him:

Bro finds some bum near the wreck

Oh, it's just Rosh

Roshambo

Brothers, brothers, brothers. I didn't expect to see you again so SPOON!

You know that I told them that storms would be the end of the air convoy! I told them, but did they listen to me? HECK NO!! Fool Elders! Exiling their own brothers over nothing. FOR NOTHING!

Now scratch my back, son, like I did for my pappy.

I said those airships weren't safe. But did they listen to Roshambo? I told them that thing would fly like a "lead zeppelin."

Then Gammorin tells me about the mimefield, so I shouldn't blow my old fool head off. So I said, "Hey, change your name all you want, you lilac, I still changed your diapers before you were an inch in your daddy's codpiece." Do you have something shiny that you want to trade? All I have is this map of the mimefield that Latham gave me.

It says there are mimes buried in the field that's north of that east building.

Hah, hah! Gammorin has his faults, but he don't take no crapola from no meddling mimes!

Lette, Monkey and root play hide and seek with a mutant guard, who patrols the NE corner of the map

Lette tries a surprise attack but is buttsexed herself

She tries again:

Monkey heals her. I order Monkey and root to go back to the center of the map. Horrible thing happens - Monkey steps on mine!

It looks that we missed some mines before.
There's only one possible thing to do (trying to disarm the mine and risking Eklek's life is out of the question) - Monkey should take it as a man. He does:

We're almost ready to assault the underground part of the base

Where's Eklek you may ask? Well:

Too bad that we don't have Throwing specialist. Still, I think our EXTREME negro can do the job.
Things went so fast, that I wasn't even able to take screenshots.
Eklek kills one of the enemies, almost dies because of enemy attack:

But loosing 103 HP is not something that could stop an angry negro:

He goes back to his group, Monkey heals him.

We're ready to move underground.

 

[Azira]

Impressive!
