-The Empress's order-

I made Harriet on 76 finally. I’m having it to where after becoming a ghoul she sticks around the Wayward area (her siblings kicked her out of their homestead) and she ends up befriending Myla’s family centuries later.

Myla’s mom was a Vault 76 legacy while her dad was a Shi member. So her mom already knew her.

Later she gives her house to Myla’s sister (who is a Mistress of Mystery) and leaves with Myla to the Commonwealth. Then settles at a fledgling village in Lexington.

13 and 20 for the Fallout Asks, please!

13. Which companion quest did you enjoy the most?

RJ. Only because it kicked me in the ass to start writing fanfic and to be a creative person again after a really long hiatus. It was left unfinished, for me to finish it and lay it to rest. His story is deserving of a game of its own, let alone a DLC-sized adventure to actually complete the story. I kinda don't care that it's canonically left unfinished anymore because I made his story mine.

20. Which is your favourite faction? Why?

Shi in Fallout 2 are a faction that inspires me a lot. In my fic, Long Time Running, my two Sole Survivors Jack and Olivia have a background in melee combat. Jack was a successful boxer and met Nora when he was not quite yet a champ, right when she started law school. Olivia grew up in Vault 150 and they had a dojo where her father was the judo sensei. She is worried about getting her red belt (basically a master's ranking) and Deacon points out to her that she can get training in Chinatown on the west coast. He's referring to the Shi.

The Shi are kind of the one example of the games really showing off hand-to-hand combat in the worldbuilding. Like, yeah, we have Veronica Santangelo using a power fist in FNV. You have baseball bats and super sledges. There is always unarmed/melee available but it's largely up to the player - It is a "hey you can do this build if you want". The modern games don't show unarmed as part of a lifestyle in the world, when martial arts/hand to hand combat really is a part of you. I was in judo as a kid and really loved seeing the Shi - these games are much quicker to encourage gun use.

Who else, faction-wise? F3: The Little Lamplighters, obviously. Love those rag tag kids :) Bonus: When the Hubologists appeared in Nuka World my mouth dropped. I really cherish the shoutouts to F1/F2 in the Bethesda titles, rare though they are.
