Sensei Starman Plays Fallout: New California - Part 33

In which we take on a cultist with the army of the undead. (Well, sort of!) We then finally make our way to the Black Horse Ranch area and start slaughtering our way through the Survivalists. (Spoiler: None of them survive.)

Sensei Starman Plays Fallout: New California - Part 32

In which, having slain the many, MANY rattlesnakes guarding the Barstow Mining Company, we began looting it and head north into Barstow proper.

Sensei Starman Plays Fallout: New California - Part 31

In which we continue exploring the Northern desert, discover one heck of a massive battle and have our first encounter with a Deathclaw. And not just ANY Deathclaw, but a Mother Deathclaw!

Sensei Starman Plays Fallout: New California - Part 30

In which our wanderings lead us to fight samurai and ghouls at a power plant. We also face my most persistent enemy - becoming overburdened trying to haul off all the loot taken from our enemies' corpses.

Sensei Starman Plays Fallout: New California - Part 29

In which we finally make it back to General Silverman and get our new orders. We then ignore those orders and take the most roundabout route possible so that we can further explore the Northern part of the world map that we haven't looked at yet.

Sensei Starman Plays Fallout: New California - Part 28

In which we start fighting out way out of Fort Daggerpoint and make our way back to Union City. The challenge is not so much surviving as hauling back all of the loot we find along the way.

Sensei Starman Plays Fallout: New California - Part 27

In which we delve deeper into the bowels of Fort Daggerpoint and discover the truth of why we were brought here. All Hell breaks loose.

Sensei Starman Plays Fallout: New California - Part 26

In which we attempt a covert entry into Fort Daggerpoint. The good news is this works surprisingly well, as I take out the Eye-Bots on the perimeter. The bad news is this episode is mostly me creeping around not killing stuff.

Sensei Starman Plays Fallout: New California - Part 25

In which we continue to Fort Daggerpoint and have a lengthy talk with Annai about where we came from. Surprise! Even with all the checks I make, she's still hiding things...

Sensei Starman Plays Fallout: New California - Part 24

In which we take a break from our great big convoy rocking through the Wasteland to help some stranded traders with a mobile fortress. Sadly, I cannot find the promised trove of comic books they offer as payment. (Are we sure this mod wasn't made for me specifically?)

Sensei Starman Plays Fallout: New California - Part 23

In which we meet our on-line crush and it is painful and awkward as you'd imagine. To make things even weirder, she's part of our latest caravan escort mission.

Sensei Starman Plays Fallout: New California - Part 22

In which my party goes native, having realized the California Tribe Armor is somehow medium armor and quite strong despite leaving you mostly naked. We also finally find the clinic in Union City and become homeowners.

Sensei Starman Plays Fallout: New California - Part 21

In which we seek the wisdom of the Chieftain of the California tribe, bring a familiar ghost back to life (well, sort of) and drag our new landlord out for an adventure!

Sensei Starman Plays Fallout: New California - Part 20

In which we find the lost caravan cattle and have our first battle with The Infected. Happily, this side quest also gives us a fast-travel point that leads us to the California Tribe and solving the water problem in Union City.

Sensei Starman Plays Fallout: New California - Part 19

In which, after observing several fire-worshipping raiders getting killed by a fire-breathing gecko (oh the irony!), we set about escorting the wayward caravan back to Union City. Then, having restored power to Union City, we stumble across a Survivalist Training Camp while seeking more lost cattle.

Sensei Starman Plays Fallout: New California - Part 18

In which we endear ourselves to our new landlord with the power of SCIENCE! We then undertake a mission to locate a missing caravan and experience our first game crash!

Sensei Starman Plays Fallout: New California - Part 17

In which, having saved Union City, we get made a series of offers from the General and the Senator running things. We also, since we're now shilling for the NCR, seek out a home in our price range, i.e. free.

Sensei Starman Plays Fallout: New California - Part 16

In which we meet the local NCR General trying to run things in Union City and the clearly not evil state senator undermining him. Thankfully, we have no time for politics, as we have to help repel a Survivalist raid on Union City.

Sensei Starman Plays Fallout: New California - Part 15

In which we are thrown into the middle of an NCR/Survivalist firefight. On the bright side, we finally do get to the gates of Union City and somewhere we can sell stuff. (Hopefully they won't ask questions about the NCR armor!)

Sensei Starman Plays Fallout: New California - Part 14

In which we go off the road and head west, encountering raiders and rattlesnakes. This is less of a problem, however, than our quickly becoming weighed down with the loot taken from the raiders my unwieldy posse take down.

 
Good news is we're going to be rich once I find a vendor. Bad news is, there's no apparent vendors in this part of the wasteland.
