Screenshots - Gideon In The Wasteland

This is a pictorial record of Gideon's adventures across the wasteland of Fallout 3. Not in any particular order, but as I remembered to take pictures.  

At the time of writing he is about to embark on what would have been the final battle for the water purifier, if not for the the events of Broken Steel which allows for continuation of the battle against, and the eventual defeat of the Enclave.

Gideon is generally a good person, but not always law abiding, if you can call wasteland justice law in the old sense.   He has stolen out of necessity and killed only those who try to kill him or those near to him.  Unfortunately, on a couple of occasions innocents have lost their lives, not directly due to Gideon's actions, but still as a result of their being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Current Load Order.  Gideon has his own set of mods and Bashed Patch due to profiles, so the ones unticked belong to another character.  There are a few mods I would have added, like Weapon Mods Kits and some others, but I've already added some as I played and didn't want to risk destabilizing my perfectly stable game.  I already have plans for another playthrough with a different style and the mods will change.

Besides the mods listed I also have a lot of texture replacements, albeit some of them have been run through Texture Optimizer, and I can't see any difference in quality.

Spoiler:

In the beginning he enlisted the help of Jericho, a so called retired Raider whose colourful vocabulary is only second to his appetite and capacity for violence.  He demanded a fee of 1000 caps which was hard to come by so early, but in return he swore to follow orders and not be a vigilante on his own terms.  

Gideon has since fired Jericho who now languishes in Moriarty's Bar with a unending bottle of whiskey for company and a miserable future.  


This is one brave trader.  She somehow managed to tame a Yao Guai, a mutated black bear and a very dangerous beast in the wild.


The Scrapyard.  A distant view.  With radial blur..  


We found this wandering dog at the Scrapyard and by some amazing feat he managed to kill several Raiders on his own.  He seemed to be well trained, but there was no sight of his master so Gideon decided to take him along for his own safety.


Now, Dogmeat is "Leader of the Pack."  


BFG!  Gideon has taken the fight to the Enclave and even wears one of their power armours.  This may sound strange but it's like a trophy of sorts.  Not to mention the Vengeance Minigun which is a departure from the norm since he prefers energy weapons.  He eventually gave the Minigun to Jericho to play with while he was still part of the crew.

Walking with Uncle Leo.  Not all Super Mutants are mindless brutes and this one encounter enforced Gideon's belief that things are not always as they seem.  Especially that sometimes shooting first and asking questions later is not always the answer to every problem.   Later, he found this fellow wasn't the only intelligent one of his kind.


The Roach King's Throne.  Unfortunately, the Roach King attacked as soon as he saw us which in hindsight was pretty stupid since who in their right mind, and only dressed in rags, would attack a team of people all decked out in Power Armour and wielding heavy weapons.  Not to mention a dog with sharp teeth...


The Crew at an early point in the adventure.  There's Jericho, Lucy, Dogmeat, and Harkness, an android who escaped from the Commonwealth.  Since then we have enlisted Charon, a ghoul from Underworld and Fawkes, a Super Mutant who helped us find an integral item that will help us win the war against the enclave and restore pure water to the wasteland.   There will be a later photo shoot with both new members.  They don't all come along on missions at the same time though of course.   They do have time out to relax at home after all.


A reminder of times past.  This at the Museum of History where sadly, most of the exhibits have been destroyed both by time and the constant war for territory.


Deathclaw under control.  Gideon found a microchip that the Enclave use to control these beasts, but now they turn against their old masters.  Normally, one would go out of their way to avoid these creatures without the firepower to take one on.


Agatha.  An old woman living alone in the wastes after the death of her husband.  All she wanted before she died was a violin and the paper to write down her musical compositions and as luck would have it, we were able to help her achieve her ambitions.   Now, we can listen to her play over the radio, transmitted from her shack on an old transmitter that amazingly still works.  

The screenshots are just great.
