I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving It's been awhile since I did anything new for myself, I figured this was the perfect time to post something.

I was able to get the "Game of the Year" edition of Fallout 3 last month. I haven't really gotten to any of the new stuff yet (seems like the game allows you to level up to around level 14 before it starts throwing Super Mutant Overlords and Feral Ghoul Reavers at you -- those mo'foes are hard to kill!!! And I thought Death Claws were bad )

This is my character I created for the game. She's a hispanic chica named Julissa (a name I came up with only two days ago so it's not the name she has in my current game), which is pretty cool conisdering her father sounds like Liam Neeson (which is because he IS Liam Neeson, hehehehe).

I've notice a couple of different things once the new content was installed. There are a couple of spots where Enclave Soldiers respawn, which never happened with the normal version of the game, so I was able to get a hold of a laser rifle the first time I ventured out of Megaton (on the road leading to the Super-Duper Mart). Normally, I wouldn't find laser rifles until I reached the GNR building or the Talon Company started coming after me regularly. But the vendors seemed to start selling some of the good weapons and armor right away. I was able to purchase some Leather Armor from Moira as soon as I got to Megaton so I didn't even bother with the Vault Suit armor she had.

In the main quest I've only just met with Dr. Li at Rivet City but I'm already at level 22 (I like taking my time and I've done quite a few side quests). My first perks were all three ranks of "fast learner", "comprehension", and "educated" and since I start out my Intelligence at 7, I'm getting 20 skill points per level by the time I'm level 4.

And I love the "Grim Reaper" perk which restores all your AP points if you kill an enemy in VATS. I bought Charon's contract in Underworld. He's the first real companion, other than Dog Meat, I've had (I make him lug all the crap I can't carry, ), but he's pretty cool. I give him a Chinese Assault Rifle and a couple hundred rounds of ammo, but the boy is too trigger happy, he loves shooting enemies after they're already dead

Anyone familiar with the game should recognize the leather armor my character is wearing. True the combat armor, especially Reilly's Ranger armor is much better, but the leather armor just looks better on my girl (again fashion over safety, ).

....

Okay, I like how my girl's @$$ looks in them But I did come across this one character out in the wasteland (I think it can either be a male or female) called "A Wanderer", and her armor is called "Wanderer's" armor, which is leather armor, but its protection is much higher than normal leather and it gives you 10 points to small guns, so that really helps.

I gave my character Wendy the Riveter's haircut to begin with, then once I was able to get the combat helmet I changed it to "Rough Nite" which looks better with most hats. But then I found this head wrap (off one of the slaver's I killed at the Lincoln Memorial, hehehe) even though it doesn't offer the protection the combat helmet does, again the desire to look good winning out Add the sunglasses I found in the Irradiated Metro and the ensemble is complete

But shortly after I drew this pic I found a bandana, which offered a bonus point in "perception" so now I'm wearing that, though I had to change her hair cut to "Prim and Proper" because "Rough Nite" did not look good with it.

My prefered weapon is the hunting rifle, specifically Ol' Painless, though I haven't reached the Republic of Dave yet, in my current game. But the hunting rifle is a pretty good weapon to have in the beginning, when you don't have many caps, for stealthly long range attacks, and not as expensive to maintain if you're lucky enough to find a sniper rifle. It also allows you to save up on other ammo such as assault rifle, .44 shells, and laser rounds. By the time I get the Lincoln rifle I usually have about a hundred rounds for it

She also packs a Chinese Assault rifle for when the $&#^ really hits the fan, like when Super Mutants or Talon Company foos get too close. Now I loved the bat as a melee weapon, sturdy and great for fending against supersledges, but once I found Stabhappy (combat knife with higher damage) I had to trade up.

Right now I'm on my way to find that strange radio transmission that will lead to "The Pitt" expansion pack story, so I'm really looking forward to that So far the trip has been dangerous. I ran into an albino giant radscorpion, which is much tougher than your normal radscorpion and that mutha*#*&%$ killed me dead, not just a little dead. I'm pretty sure they're from the extra content because this is the first time I've run into a white scorpion.

And I know I don't have any straps or holsters to explain how my girl is holding the Assualt Rifle, Stabhappy, or the 10mm pistol. I did that on purpose because, well, I didn't want a rifle sling obcuring the attire and I just didn't feel like drawing holsters for the knife or pistol Besides, this is how the character carries the weapons in the game (okay, the knife is carried on the hip, but I put it on her boot to make it look cooler)

I did a quick a dirty background for this WIP, I'll do a proper background for it later, and I'm thinking of adding Dog Meat to the pic, and maybe even Charon.
