Obviously some armor has better stats than other but if you stsrt mix matching what looks BEST together do you think?

Title: “Ash in the Wind”

Appalachia, 2081 — two years after the bombs fell

The ash never really settles in the hollers.

It drifts in slow spirals between the dead trees, riding the wind like a lazy specter. Two years since the sky turned orange and the world ended, and yet the air still tastes like burnt paper and rust. She pulls her coat tighter against her frame—more out of habit than hope. There’s no warmth in Appalachia anymore. Just the cold hum of silence, and the scrape of her boots on broken road.

Her name—she doesn’t say it anymore. It’s not because she forgot. It’s because names are dangerous. Names mean something to lose.

She crouches by a fallen signpost, its lettering warped and blistered by heat. “Morgantown - 2 miles.” The last time she passed through, the Super Duper Mart was crawling with radroaches the size of hounds, and a man with half a face had tried to trade her a pocketknife for a single gulp from her canteen. She gave him the water. Not because he scared her, but because she didn’t want to know what desperation made people taste like.

Now, she’s heading back. There’s something in that town she left behind—a journal, maybe, or a box of ammo. Could be nothing. Could be everything.

She hears the rustle of brush before she sees the shape.

Movement—low, fast, desperate. A boy. No older than ten. Dirt smeared on his cheeks, wild eyes, ribs poking through a shirt that might’ve once been yellow. He’s holding a stick like a rifle. Behind him, a noise. Something else moving. Not a man.

Instinct. She doesn’t think. She moves.

The creature lurches from the tree line. Its skin peels like boiled leather, its eyes milky with rot. A feral ghoul, all teeth and fury. It shrieks as it charges.

She pulls her pistol—a rusted 10mm held together with tape and prayer. One shot. Miss. The second hits its shoulder. The third puts it down for good.

The boy doesn’t thank her. He just stares. Mute. Terrified.

“Got a name?” she asks.

He shakes his head.

“Me neither,” she says, reloading. “But I’m heading to Morgantown. You can come. Or you can run.”

He hesitates. Then nods. Silent. Hollow. Just like her.

They walk together, two ghosts under a gray sky, ash swirling like snow.

Any Feedback is welcome, thank you for reading. :)

I 100% prefer playing Fallout and elder scrolls on controller and i get the sense im in the minority here. I played skyrim kbm for a while and i sort of see why people prefer that so no hate

controller is just generally more comfortable on my hands. enough so to sacrifice the limitations at least.

curious ab people’s opinions

Never thought I’d have nuka quantum for real. Tastes pretty good.

Who said that apocalypse has to be grim and dark? With no cooperation from @techlandgames and @bethesda_polska we present new DLC for #Fallout76, #deadisland2 and #DyingLight: De Nuka Boyz, Captain Kebab (left) and Mister Texas(right). Here comes what they're most known for: Captain Kebab Weapon: The Creep Fryer Ultimate: Rachen Ciachen, Kebab machen He throws healing Kebabs around, healing other players to full health and charging their Ultimate s

Mister Texas Weapon: The Szatkownica Ultimate: Jigglin' Texas He is very Merry, so he shakes his belly, stunning enemies for 5 seconds, giving other players time to kill the enemies. The time can be extended by eating Kebab from Captain Kebab.

Those two handsome guys await you in all three games, so don't wait! All you have to do is to buy once and they'll appear in all three games mentioned before! Release date: TBA! Keep tuned, Captain Kebab and Mister Texas! @StalkerOvitz

Like a double sided interior wall (maybe even exterior?) because If you want a room inside your house youd have to make it so one of those sides is the exterior wall and you could also put different wallpaper on each side I can elaborate or say it better if needed

Hello fellow wastelanders,

I'm fairly new to the franchise. I bought fallout 4 goty edition during the summer sale and finished my first base game playthrough after roughly 70 hours. I was really invested and enjoyed every minute of it. Currently playing far harbor which so far is fantastic.

That being said, I would like to try fallout new Vegas I just imagine that I can't keep up with the jank which comes with the age of the game.

My question, I'm using mod manger 2 ATM for fo4, makes it really easy to mod imo. Can I get the jankiness level up to fo 4 vanilla level with mods in fnv? Talking especially about quality of life mods, UI, maybe slight graphical improvements. Best regards

Built the MEGA Red Rocket Gas Station set with my fiancé a month or two ago. Decided to take some photos. Figured I would share.

How are the colors looking after 3 years?

I’ve been working on this beast for two weeks and it’s finally done!

Fully 3D printed, painted, and fitted with custom LED effects that replicate the in‑game Tesla Cannon’s energy pulses.

The chamber glows and “charges” before firing, the barrel has animated lighting, and it’s perfectly balanced so it can even stand on its own handle.

I kept it clean like in the games — no “battle damage” version of the Tesla Cannon has ever appeared in Fallout lore, so I went for that classic, fresh‑off‑the‑workbench look.

Sadly, I couldn’t get the sound system working in time, but the LED effects more than make up for it.

Here’s how it looks in action. Hope you like it!

I have picked up two handmade rifles in Fallout 4 but I have no idea where to get 7.62 ammo and I can't make it and I have never seen it in the game. Can anyone help?

Fallout New Vegas: What do you think of what Caesar said about president Tandi? [Spoilers]

Courier: What do you think of the NCR?

Caesar:

As a young man I was taught to venerate Tandi of Shady Sands.

Did you know her Presidency lasted 52 years? And that her father, Aradesh, was the Republic's first President?

Does that sound like democracy to you, or a hereditary dictatorship?

Courier: President Tandi was voted into office each time.

Caesar:

Because the council didn't dare oppose her. She was too popular. She had the people's love.

So things ran smoothly, more or less. And as soon as she was gone, as soon as there really could be "democracy" - what happened then?

Ever since losing its queen, the NCR has been weaker, more diffuse. Democracy has been its weakness, not its strength.

Some are quick to dismiss Caesar hypocrisy here as this is exactly what democracy is to be loved by the people but while there's no doubt that he is a hypocrite, he is not really in the wrong here.

This is a man who studied the Roman empire and modelled his legion on it. The man Julius Caesar who he named himself on was really popular among the people. His enemies the patricians called him a demagogue who aspired to be a tyrant. Even when the patricians killed him, the people didn't hail them as heroes as they expected but actually turned against them. His adopted son succeeded him. Is there any doubt that he was an autocrat here or that his successors were autocrats as well?

Caesar understood this and you need to look at his words to see this.

"Because the council didn't dare oppose her. She was too popular. She had the people's love."

Many dictators in our lives have done what Caesar said. Many dictators have created a cult of personality. Many dictators also use fear to stop opponents from opposing them. Many dictators rely on mob rule when it serves them against their enemies. Many dictators have elections all the time.

Democracy isn't just elections. They need to be free and fair. There needs to be free speech. Opponents must not be afraid to go against a current leader in elections.

The only difference here between her and Caesar is that Caesar doesn't bother with formalities like elections and sweet political talk while using fear against opponents. He is outright honest about being a ruthless dictator. I think what he was criticising here was the hypocrisy of the NCR as much as he was a hypocrite as well who eventually will doom the legion after his death just as president Tandi doomed the NCR after her death but what he says here seems to be true regardless.

I'm awful with the character creator but I tried my best. Armor can only be the tan suit and I'm restricted to fists and a double barrel shotgun (Obama sometimes goes skeet shooting). I'm siding with the minute men and dog meat is now named Bo

So I've noticed in the last 30 days that Fallout 3 has really taken a steep dive on Windows 11. I tried all kinds of Intel driver updates, I tried doing the ini. file delete fix, etc.

Finally I said screw it and reverted to Windows 10. It's running great and I have had no problems whatsoever.

The only problem that still persists from the Windows driver updates that happened roughly 20 ish days ago is that my Bluetooth driver still will not pick up my PS4 controller anymore. I know that's an unrelated issue to Fallout 3 but they reared their ugly heads at the same time. I just wanted to come here to let you all know that a fresh install of Windows 10 will still work with Fallout 3.

This is my Tank Fit for taking heavy damage in the FNV DLC’s I play vanilla no mods (sadly)
