Today’s game is Fallout New Vegas. I was stuck at home all day and laid in bed playing through the entirety of Lonesome Road (wouldn’t have been possible without the Steam Deck!). I got a ton of Screenshots, so I decided that I would just share multiple photos

The text Lonesome road on a stone wall

This one I took on my way into The Divide. Just like with Dead money, it seemed appropriate.

ED-E in the container

This is a screenshot I took of ED-E right before I freed them. I have to say, for having spent so little time with them, the ending made me kind of sad. They were very entertaining and I like the conversations with them.

A photo of a missile in the sky above Ashton

This is a screenshot I took of the missile as it was launched above Ashton shortly before crashing down. I have to say the journey here was hell because I had to fight 4 deathclaws. I ended up using Med-X and Psycho along with the Red Glare and spamming rockets in their direction. I spent nearly an hour trying to kill them (sometimes they’d kill me and sometimes I’d accidentally walk backwards into a hole in the ground)

The text "Everyone is Gone" written on a brick wall

This screenshot was taken just because I thought it looked neat. I don’t really have any story behind it besides that. I will note that it stood out a lot more to me than the others though, as I feel like a lot of the other graffiti that wasn’t obviously written by Ulysses was just random things like “Smile”.

Night time in The Divide

I took this screenshot on the final stretch of my road. I used a stealthboy and sneak attacked all the scorched men along the way. I also stopped and picked up the veteran riot armor, though sadly it didn’t last long with its durability so I need to repair it soon.

My character looking down a scope

I took this screenshot while fighting some scorched men. I thought it looked cool from the side profile I got and wanted to share it. I got the sniper rifle from the Veteran Ranger, and I used it for most of the rest of my journey. It felt appropriate since I was taking his armor, I may as well pay respects and use all that he had instead of just picking at what I wanted.

A missile silo

This is right before the final confrontation. I detonated all the Nukes in the area right after this screenshot (Though, I’m missing 10 so I’ll have to go back and find those for the achievement) and prepared myself for the final fight.

A photo I took of Ulysses

I ended up sparing Ulysses by passing the NCR faction check and the 90 Speech check. We fought together to against the scorched men. The fight was fun. For as simplistic as FNV AI can be sometimes it did a good job of making it feel far more epic and cinematic. I ended up sacrificing ED-E to stop the Nuke, as I’m doing a morally good playthrough and I was avoiding spoilers so I didn’t know if I letting it launch at someone would have consequences outside of the faction I targeted.

I came back after the slideshow and just sat with him for a bit and looked at The Divide. I listened to his final message and talked to him, before heading back.

It made me happy though to know that ED-E was transferred back to the Mojave model though, as I was surprisingly sad about it. As soon as I got back I went and activated ED-E at the Mojave Express. I also did some progress towards misc. achievements and getting endings for everything. I picked up Raul, Veronica, Arcade Gannon, and did Rex’s quest. while in Jacobstown I was planning on picking up Lily but I can’t remember how to get her as a companion.

    I enjoyed his conversations, but I can get why people may find it annoying. He jumps in so much. And a couple of times it was right before combat too so afterwards you were flung straight into combat.
