I used to routinely visit Baltimore. :3

Really, I was more alluding to Point Lookout (via Fallout) then anything in particular about the state itself. I spent yesterday morning getting all but one achievement for it, and have to say that it's really not a place I relish spending any significant time for it. Still working on The Velvet Curtain, but that one shouldn't take me too long. Though I wish I'd brought either my MIRV or Miss Launcher along for the ride... bit late now. Don't wanna have to reload just to get my shiny toys.

Currently working on a Fallout: Kenya game for my local gaming group, which should shape up to be thoroughly amusing. All I've pieced together so far, is that much like Point Lookout (that was mostly shielded from the nuclear strikes and not nuked directly), the only thing that will really effect the landscape/wildlife of Kenya for the game is what happened on October 30th, 2077 (All of the radioactive particulates that got knocked up by having around 45% of the world's land masses nuked from orbit finally falling, resulting in widespread extinction of plant/animal life), and anything from specifically the Glow incident (the main repository of the FEV virus, and the progenitor location for it - all of which got thoroughly distributed in small amounts globally when West Tek was directly nuked; If not on the 23rd, then on the 30th when the particulates fell) would have shaken a few things up at least locally.

...Which gives me a little bit of a plot hook idea. Hooray, stream of consciousness writing!

You can travel back and forth between PL and the DC Wasteland you know. You just need to buy new tickets (Or not, depending if you finished the main quest or not.) My first run though of it I had to go back to the wasteland because I was getting my but thoroughly kicked. It was my big guns character, and I completely destroyed my armor, used up all my minigun ammo and half my stimpak supply. Mostly on those dang Reavers. So I had to head back and do a bunch of quests and beat up some of those easier Enclave troops. (Yeah, easier than inbred mutant swampfolk.. scary.) Once I resupplied I returned and finished it off.

Of all the DLCs, it's by far and away my favorite one.


SG Mate: Cien, what the hell is this Rookery thing?
RadDidIt: (interjecting) Dude. It's the Rookery.
SG Mate: Yeah, but what IS it?
RadDidIt: Silliness Incarnate.

Oh, I'm fully aware. It's just a hassle to do the constant loading just to get set up when I have enough to work finish up the quest easily enough. I just don't have enough to do it easily. So it'll be a bit of a live fire zone for a while, instead of my usual total domination. I remember the stuff that happens at the Detention Camp from watching someone else play (at a significantly lower level then I'm attempting it at), and with how the game likes to scale up encounters... It's gonna be a less then ideal situation.

But, eh. I thrive on less then ideal situations. I'm one tough bitty to take out - if the Capitol Building and Fort Bannister are my ideas of 'fun firefights', this'll be no big deal.

EDIT: Though, my personal favorite so far has been Operation: Anchorage. I'm horribly disappointed that it was so short, and that you can't really get the cool Winterized Combat Helmet with facemask without cheating. :/

I'm probably just jinxing myself, though. :<
