Odd Things I Distinctly Remember About Being Courier Six That Have No Place In Canon number 1: I was friends with Sole Survivor, despite having no reason to go east. And Nick Valentine did not like me. Thanks for tuning in to OTIDRABCSTHNPIC.

[canon-calls]

Don't know how much of a response I'll get back from this, but hi, Courier Six from Fallout: New Vegas here. Looking for basically anyone (especially Boone and ED-E), though I'd prefer to not talk to Father Elijah or Dean Domino (if they're out there). I'm 20, just in case that changes anyone's minds. Like/reblog this or hmu here at platinumsix if you wanna talk. See you around the Mojave.

Lou’s New Mods for New Vegas Spotlight: March 2021

No foolin’—this is one of the bigger mod spotlights yet! The theme of March seems to be animation, as this month saw the release of three very cool animation mods for inspecting weapon ammo and condition in-game (great for those who play with maximally immersive HUD), gunfire recoil, and 360-degree movement. On top of that, there’s a lot of fun or creative tweaks. There’s also some incredible restored content for Hoover Dam battle weathers and the Gomorrah casino, the game-changing player combat priority adjustment by all-time modder PTWB, a cute new outfit for Veronica...look, they’re just a bunch of really good mods.

Vault 22 Flora Overhaul Remastered by Qolore7 and Macintroll

B42 Inspect - aka Animated Ammo and Weapon Condition Checking by Hitman47101 and Xilandro Axeuora

Speech Checks Overhauled - Several Changes (and Honest Hearts Ending Dialogue Expanded) by AlvisHael.

Player Combat Priority by PushTheWinButton

Gomorrah Casino Uncut by Ludo

Veronica Outfit Replacer by huntermane (strongly endorsed!)

Cut Hoover Dam Battle Weathers by Crygreg

Combat Armor Accessory Collection by Ashens2014 (Metal Armor Accessories also available)

Viewmodel Recoil by MaggotHATE.

360 Movement by g0kur. Pictures don’t do it justice, so observe:

10 Picture Limit Club (More Recommendations)

Gun Oil from Animal Fat for Weapon Repair and Maintenance by Lou (that's me) offers a Survival-based alternative for keeping your guns tuned up.

Legate Valerius informs you that you prevented Silus from being interrogated by clanky4 and You prevented Silus from being interrogated by halfmanhalfcocaine will inform you that you prevented Silus from being interrogated.

Awesome Bullet Sounds - Flybys and Whizzes by Psychor adds audio to passing just-missed bullets so you can hear exactly how close you came to getting a haircut.

Dead Money - Villa's Loot Scarcity by ePath removes, relocates, and adjusts the condition of various supplies in the Dead Money villa so that you’re not armed to the teeth too early in a DLC that’s supposed to be about disempowerment.

Harder New Vegas Strip Access by Nehred offers a few options for raising the requisite credit check for entry into the Strip, in case you ever felt it was too low.

GRA Unique Weapons Relocated - DLC Items Returned by foxisnick, a tweak for the excellent GRA Unique Weapons Relocated by SHAD0WCOBRA, which integrates these weapons into the game world to reward exploration.

Complex Vendors by Qolore7 restores and properly assigns previously disabled vendor flags, so that doctors only buy aid items, gun runners will only buy weapons, etc.

Mr. House Portrait Fix by Nehred fixes a very important bug with the in-game texture of the Mr. House portrait at the House Resort at Camp Golf.

Friendly Securitrons by AVeryUncreativeUsername simply makes all in-game securitrons allies to the player once you’ve completed either The House Always Wins II or Wild Card: Change in Management.

Cass' Hunting Shotgun by PlatinumSix and Cass has a Cowboy Repeater by Lou (again, that's me) simply provide alternatives for Cass’ in-game companion weapon.

Fallout The Frontier - Tgspy Changes by tgspy makes several narrative changes to The Frontier a month after its release, authored by the mod’s original project manager.

Mojave Raccoons and Mojave Iguanas by Nodevski adds a few little critters to the game world to keep you company.

Better US Army General's Outfit by Lou (yet again, that's me!), which simply buffs the stats for the general's coat at the end of Lonesome Road.

Take Care - Pip-boy Hum Replacer from ULTRAKILL by Lou (damn I was a busy bitch this month!) adds soft muzak from ULTRAKILL to the Pip-Boy menu. Demonstration here.

[obscurekinoutpost]

35. My muse dies in your muse’s arms

“give ‘em hell”

Laura and Jupiter made a hell of a team; together, they’d taken down hundreds of raiders and gunners, the occasional deathclaw, even mutated and extremely dangerous Yao Guai. Some had been fairly close calls, but thus far, the duo proved themselves more than capable of handling anything the wasteland threw at them. 

Of course, all good things come to an end eventually. The protectron exhibition seemed innocuous at first glance. There were a few ghouls, easily brought down, and the various protectron models. Laura had activated them mostly as a joke but also to see if they would pick up any other enemies nearby-- that was the first mistake. Only a few minutes later, all of the robots were lying in their own piles of ripped circuitry, she was out of ammo, and her sword was halfway between her sheltering rock and a tree she might use for cover as she recuperated. 

With few other options, Laura made a run for it, grasping the hilt just as the albino deathclaw intercepted. Though she managed a few good hits, the claws easily snapped her blade, another arm swinging down to catch Laura’s stomach, leaving a bloody stream in its wake. 

The pain was surprisingly low, but that definitely didn’t bode well. Now panicked, she scrambled back, adrenaline allowing her to run quickly to the table Jupiter hid behind before she collapsed. 

“Shit--” She could taste blood, knew the wounds were too far gone even as Jupiter helped her to sit up. Her vision was growing blurry, but she could clearly make out the dark red trail left from her hasty escape. Blood loss was a bitch... 

“Hey.” Head fuzzy, Laura looked her friend in the eye, dead serious- pun completely unintended. “Give ‘em hell.” Her voice waned at the end, already shaky arms that had been supporting her collapsed, and she fell back, coughing up blood with rattling breaths for only a moment. Then, silence.

"Tell me about your first existential crisis."

Hmm, first one that comes to mind is after the dust had settled in Quincy, little town in Illinois. Murdering twenty-some people in a night takes a toll on you, it seems.  Not that I really felt bad about it, but it was kind of one of those things where I’m left in a ghost town thinking: Is this it?  Is this all life is?  A steady stream of repeatable instances and forgotten faces dotting a blasted and burnt landscape interspersed with the occasional blood drenched murder spree fueled by sheer loathing for others and a near death experience?  Although that’s not really fair, some of those experiences have been a bit fun in hindsight.

Still don’t feel bad about it, though.  Never could abide a racist, and that term certainly includes folks that’d kill a ghoul just because it made them feel like big tough people, keeping the wastes pure or whatever.

The sunrise the following morning on the other hand?  Absolutely spectacular.

Cheese crouched down beside a fallen legionnaire. It seemed every time he thought he found someone during his walk, they were actually dead. It was turning out to be a very lonely outing.

He poked him with his foot. “Asleep?” he asked him desperately, as if he would answer. Cheese frowned. 

“WHY EVERYONE FOREVER SLEEP?”

The Floor is Open

@platinumsix

“It’s a little late, but you’re welcome to come in if you need something.”

Mira spoke without even looking up. The Lucky 38 was supposed to be closed, but the doors had been left unlocked. Mira made sure there was at least one day out of the week that she kept the floor open in case people in Vegas needed medical help from her. 

So there she sat, Queen of Vegas, at the bar. She appeared to be taking something apart to prod it’s mechanical insides.

[lastofthepast-archive-blog]

“Get behind me.” (we have like 8 million threads i'm sorry)

Protective sentence starters

Rather than immediately argue like she wanted to, Laura sighed and moved, checking that her clip was fresh and unused. Rather than face the same direction, she went back-to back with Jupiter, prepared for anything. “Well, this is fun.”

(oc question) multiples of 3 (3,6,9,etc.)

dossier ;; Meme NOT Accepting

3. Did they have a good childhood? What are fond memories they have of it? What’s a bad memory? 

︻◦=═一 Daniel grew up with a fairly great childhood. His father stayed away               from liquor and was a man of God. His mother, who took care of him              from the early age of 15, didn’t really care too much about how Daniel              was viewed by others. He had many fun childhood memories on the              farm down in Arizona, but he also saw his tiny home burned down               a few times by bandits. His father stabbed once for refusing to let               the bandit’s take his wife. Daniel lost his parents when he was sixteen,              but the most fondest memory he had was the day a merchant brought              by Sarsaparilla, the first the family ever tried of the stuff. At first, Daniel              took a liking to it. And, wanted nothing more than to trade whatever              he could for it. But, his Pa just couldn’t. Though they did end up using              some extra money to do so. It was money that was suppose to send               Daniel East towards his Grandparent’s home in hopes he’d get himself              an education. But, his Pa just couldn’t see Daniel upset. ⚄ ↵

6. What were they like at school? Did they enjoy it? Did they finish? What level of higher education did they reach? What subjects did they enjoy? Which did they hate?

︻◦=═一 Daniel never really went to school. He was raised on the farm, learned               most of what he did from there. What he learned from life itself. He was              poorly educated when it came to doing math, science, and history.              However, he knew how to read, and barely knew how to write. His mother              taught him that much. He learned how to live off the land, survival               instincts mostly. He could identify the difference in animals, which snakes              were poisonous, which herbs would heal, etc. ⚄ ↵

9. Do animals like them? Do they get on well with animals? 

︻◦=═一 Daniel has a knack for dogs. Perhaps it’s because he screams Alpha.              He’s always treated animals good, understanding that God put them both              on this earth and they must share it. He never killed anything more than              what he was going to eat, never killed for sport, and never killed out               of self defense. He often wounded if he had to, but never tried to kill.              He doesn’t like cats, though. Though some like him and some don’t. ⚄ ↵

12. What is their favourite food? 

︻◦=═一 He’s got a liking for jerky, mostly anything smoked. In the Synth verse,              he’s got a liking to snack cakes, like most Synth’s. ⚄ ↵

15. Are they good at cooking? Do they enjoy it? What do others think of their cooking?

︻◦=═一 Daniel is good at drying meat for jerky, but not so much at cooking               or frying up foods. He knows recipes and has watched his mom              cook, but his biggest issue is he cooks too fast. His hands don’t              slow down and he either cooks with too high of a flame or he               gets impatient and burns the outside but the inside is raw. ⚄ ↵

18. What’s their favourite genre of: books, music, tv shows, films, video games and anything else

︻◦=═一 His Ma taught him how to read “The Scarlet Letter”, where he learned              to judge better people. He didn’t take a liking to books all too well, but              he did find that it bettered him to read the book. So from time to time,               he read up on books similar. And through out his childhood, read a               bit more by Nathaniel Hawthorne. ⚄ ↵

21. Do they have a temper? Are they patient? What are they like when they do lose their temper?

︻◦=═一 Much like his ability to draw his gun, his patience runs out fairly               quick. While Daniel understands that there is a select few that               aren’t too bright or aren’t right in the head, he doesn’t like to               be held back. Which stops him from doing basic things like              cooking or sometimes even reading. Though Doctor’s at the time              couldn’t put a finger on what he had, some NOW could call               it a form of ADHD. Daniel doesn’t really have a temper, but he               is used to solving a majority of his problems with his fists or a               one quick shot of his big iron. So if he can’t, it frustrates him. ⚄ ↵

24. What is their sleeping pattern like? Do they snore? What do they like to sleep on? A soft or hard mattress?

︻◦=═一 Hard, Daniel likes to sleep on the ground over a bed. Even if he               manages to get a room, he’ll take the pillow and curl it up on the              ground and lay on his back. The ground is solid, and feels better              against his back. He says, “The only clouds I’m sleeping on is when              God lets me see my Ma and Pa. I ain’t dead yet. I ain’t sleepin’ on no              clouds.” ⚄ ↵

27. What makes them sad? Do they cry regularly? Do they cry openly or hide it? What are they like they are sad?

︻◦=═一 Daniel doesn’t normally cry. Even on the day of his parents birthdays and               the anniversary of their death day. He is a total alpha male who believes              a man shouldn’t cry. He wouldn’t go around spouting it nor shaming a               man for crying, however. He knows some pain is too hard to bare, and               some need to do it. But it just isn’t him. ⚄ ↵

30. Do they exercise? Regularly? Or only when forced? What do they act like pre-work out and post-work out?

︻◦=═一 Answered ⚄ ↵

33. What underwear do they wear? Boxers or briefs? Lacey? Comfy granny panties?

︻◦=═一 In his Cowboy verse he wears longjohns underneath his pants and               button down. But in his Synth and NCR he wears tattered Boxers. ⚄ ↵

36. What are they good at? What hobbies do they like? Can they sing?

︻◦=═一 Daniel is rather talented at playing the Guitar and singing.               He often plays to himself, but won’t play for others. He has              only played for kids in the past, when they have trouble              sleeping. Adults have only heard him sing before because              they have been in the other room while he played for said               kids. In the Synth verse and NCR verse, he often plays the Big              Iron song. Though in the Synth verse, he sings it subconsciously. ⚄ ↵

39. Do they like letters? Or prefer emails/messaging? 

︻◦=═一 He used to receive them periodically from his Grandparents, until              he was around eleven. Then they stopped coming. He never found              out why. ⚄ ↵

42. What are their goals? What would they sacrifice anything for? What is their secret ambition?

︻◦=═一 Daniel has sacrificed a lot to get where he is. Some say that in a way,              he has sacrificed his previous life to become “The Arizona Ranger”.              Daniel wishes to keep Justice in the lawless parts of the land. He               knows he can’t achieve true justice forever, but he just hopes he               can motivate others to rise up and do good, rather than oppose him              and do bad. ⚄ ↵

45. How do other people see them? Is it similar to how they see themselves? 

︻◦=═一 A few people have mistaken Daniel for a bandit, as he tends to              hide his Ranger badge when he first arrives into town. This is to              weed out the bad guys. He goes into town as a stranger, hoping              to pick a fight with the bandits that the law hasn’t touched yet. ⚄ ↵

48. Do they enjoy any parties? If so what kind? Do they organise the party or just turn up? How do they act? What if they didn’t want to go but were dragged along by a friend?

︻◦=═一 Daniel isn’t much of a party fiend, but has attended a few of them              himself. Though he’s more of a, “Sit on the sidelines”, kind of guy.               Often he finds himself playing the guitar to prevent anyone from              trying to pull him up into the dance circle. ⚄ ↵

@platinumsix​ || Starter Call.

          Her gaze tilts up, blinking against the harsh Nevada sun to spy the sprawling tower that stretches up. Lucky 38. Suppose it fits, the name--compared to most places, New Vegas got damn lucky when it comes to the war. Quinn knows. She’s seen it. Studied it. Researched it. The entire Institute knows, but it’s only until now that they’ve done something more than simply SIT on the knowledge.

          Las New Vegas is an anomaly. The Institute had done its research before reaching that conclusion, obviously--discovered it should’ve been one of the first cities hit when the bombs fell. Yet here it is, decayed yet still decadent; all neon lights and bare flesh and caps and VICES. Its survival is a question mark to the Institute, and one that’s only grown larger when they discovered that former CIT alumni Robert House was the owner of the Lucky 38. That his name still passes tongues and caravans only draws the intrigue deeper.

          There’s a mystery to New Vegas, and it lies in its tech, and its master, and in Robert House specifically. Quinn blinks against the sun, mulling all this over, then catches sight of a dark haired woman that slows, lingers near the perimeter. 

          “You ever hear about Robert House?” She asks. Conversation. Small talk. The proverbial hook and bait. The Institute--and her--are still in the intel stage. Sometimes you gotta give to get. “Before the war, I mean. Strange fella, but the stories I could tell you...”
