General or funny screenshots

Post » Mon Feb 07, 2011 1:15 pm

I'm aware of the character-screenshot and the mod-screenshot threads but couldn't find a 'general/funny screenshot' type thread. If there is one that I missed, please merge. I put this in spoilers because sometimes even general screens can spoil something for someone.

Even in the day of video, I love screenshots. But I find it hard to take good combat pics in this game because of the 1st person & fast (non-Vats) combat, so mostly you seem to end up with ones of your companions rather than your own character, or ones just showing a monster running straight into your face. Still once in a while you get one, and there's always the misc & "funnies."

(these are general)

Crested a rocky slope & suddenly ambushed. I think Arcade's in big trouble...

Wait, never mind Arcade, *I'm* in big trouble...

With a few stimpacks and fast backpedaling I did survive, but only because Boone was able to kill half while they wailed on poor Arcade-bait. I got the other half tho, including the Alpha, no VATS. Teamwork! (edit:going thru my too-many vid files realized I did use vats in that one. The empty AP bar should've been my clue. Sometimes I hit it as a total panic button take my 2-3 shots & then forget I used it. Don't want to be accused of purposely lying, lol. ;) )

When you're walking/sneaking to Novac/Vegas at clvl-1, using merchants & patrols as escorts works well.

I like my character to be shorter than everyone else. It makes looking at high shelves a bit difficult tho.

Shooting cave geckos from on high, Arcade tried to get closer range like always, & stupidly stepped off the ledge to fall below, forcing my lazy self to unholster my weapon to help him.

(these are silly-Boone, my fave topic ::blush:: ...humor mileage may vary.)

Boone:fights hard, parties hard, sleeps hard.

After an exhausting day of killing fiends, and rescuing Legion slaves sometimes it's just nice to have a friend to lean on.

I'm a huge Boone fan(atic) and you'll always have an audience with me...with your videos and screenshots too.

Boone:fights hard, parties hard, sleeps hard. lmao. Thanks for all of the above. :)

And one of my favorite parts of your dancing video is Arcade, Raul and Boone all fighting together. That looked so great...how did you do that?

Ooh, you have a lot of nice screenshots. ^^ I'm always too slow to grab them, so I don't have anything interesting to post.

But pffft... LOL @ Boone. That apparently unrelenting stoicism - I knew it was just a show!
More importantly, I just have to ask this: how many caps would I need to buy a mini-Boone? :'D /giggle

I love the one with Arcade cluelessly standing by while a deathclaw takes a swipe at his head. I also love the party-Boone picture. The last picture proves that Boone isn't bald after all, he just has peach fuzz.

For combat stuff I often cheat by grabbing stills from my recorded videos. :)

It's a multi-companion mod. The most popular/well known one of those lets you hire all companions at once willy nilly, but the http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=36949 bases the number you can have on your charisma, which I like better from a roleplaying perspective. Makes that stat actually mean something. I have 7 charisma so I can have 3 human & both non-human followers. Works great outdoors, but more than 3 at a time can be a pain in some Vaults/indoor areas.

On the PC it's tap the F key to change view to 3rd person, then hold it down while turning the mouse. Then tap it again to return to 1st. (at least, it's the F key for me. Can't remember if I re-keyed it or not... :blush: ..but that's the idea...)

Or if you in 1st person press f and pull the camera out abit. Then you press "~" (console) key and type 'tfc' and 'tm' without the quotes. You can now move the camera with the arrows or wsas keys without moving your character. To get out off it go to console type tfc and tm and back to normal.

Here's three screenshots, 2 of my current character and one of my previous character. The silenced carbine is from "1st recon ranger gear", the backpacks from "Atomic Mods_backpacks. All else is original game assets. The armor is the NCR Mantle armor, the Hood on the explorer pic is a slave hood.

The explorer finds the top of the world:

http://i51.tinypic.com/59wfr.jpg

This overlook is just south of the Primm Pass, as it exits East. The dome is the REPCON instillation. One can see the path (a lighter color) spiraling up and around the hill. From here, one can see the NCR prison, Primm, Nipton, Searchlight, and several other landmarks.


Well, that was a decent shot:

Katya the Explorer snipes a Legionaire in the hills NE of Cottonwood Cove. She seems quietly pleased with herself.


I TOLD ya ta QUIT LOOKIN AT ME!
