Hi! I'm Alex & this is my videogames blog. It's mostly Fallout, Assassin's Creed, Red Dead Redemption 2 and Dragon Age with a few wildcards, and doesn't see too much action lately (although I have picked up New Vegas again after [checks watch] a five year hiatus)
If you're into film, culture, history, academic stuff and other things you can catch me on my more active general @caffeinatedrambling, or on Letterboxd!
we have to thank our brave soldiers in fandom who write gen fics. we have to thank our brave soldiers in fandom who write character studies and stories with no focus on romance or sex. we have to get on our knees and thank the brave soldiers in fandom who write about minor characters and friendship and family with no focus on romance or sex. i know it’s hard to care about characters in a world that seems to only revolve around ships but i see you. and i love you

do they have a nickname? who gave it to them? if it's not derived from their real name, what's the story behind it?
favorite food? least favorite? are they a picky eater? do they have any dietary restrictions?
if they wear jewelry, what kind? do they prefer silver or gold? do they have a favorite gem?
what do they have in common with you? how are they different? would you get along with them?
how long have they been around? do you know their birthday? is their birthday the day you made them or another day? what do they think of celebrating birthdays?
what languages do they speak? how fluently?
are they any good with numbers?
how big or small is their family? who did they live with growing up? do they live with anyone now?
do they have any pets? what do they call their pets?
how did they spend their summers/free time as a child?
their opinion on lying, stealing, and killing?

In the past few sessions, Lily Bell headed back to Papa Khan to talk to him about breaking the Legion alliance now that all of his advisors are against it - on a meta level I as the player chose to then promise to find something in the clan's history to give them a sense of pride (since she has a high enough speech skill to pass the check to do without but why use that to cut out some more game!) - and I think it fits Lily Bell's idea of helping them in that they shouldn't be doing it just cuz she says so, it needs to be authentic. She also let Jerry the Punk know the Followers accepted him as an archivist!
After wrapping up errands around Red Rock Canyon, she headed back to Novac (stopping off to recover Ranger Morales' corpse for his wife) and picked up Boone for the first time in a while. And, uh, headed straight to Bitter Springs. I think hearing the Khans talk about it made her want to confront it head on with him. Hearing Boone talk about it versus hearing it from the Khans themselves, seeing the difficulties they face in Red Rock Canyon and the pain of the survivors is a world of difference. If she had any lingering doubts about the NCR's place in the Mojave, they were definitely put away by hearing that and going to Bitter Springs itself now it's a refugee camp ('they've got enough soldiers to guard their sharecropper farms in case a prospector wants a little corn, but no supplies to spare for refugees?').
She was pretty prickly with Boone, asking if he didn't question his orders, but it was obvious pretty quickly that she couldn't be harsher than he already was on himself, and I think his suicidal talk had her pretty worried. They obliterated the Legion raid and I reckon unwound together over a bottle before heading back to work the next day. She could hook up the camp doctor with supplies and offered to help Gilles get more troops and supplies too - just because she thinks the NCR should get out doesn't mean the refugees should suffer for it. Managed (ok, via metagaming) to get Velasco to leave the caves peacefully - though I do wish there'd been an option to send the Khan supply caches with him, since the Khans at Red Rock sure seem like they could use them. After some more pinging around the north-east of the map exploring and running errands to camp Golf and the last of the Ranger stations (and I think making sure that he wasn't going to do anything drastic if left unsupervised..?) Lily Bell delivered him back to Novac to rest up, and headed out with Raul.
Did Vault 34, more horrifying vault experiences for my gal, rescued NCR hostages from the mine, talked Forlorn Hope and McCarran into giving some more troops to Bitter Springs, then trundled down to the Mojave Outpost to talk to Cass about her caravan. Got her out and on the road and that's more or less where we're at now!
Doodled Father Elijah with little Veronica yesterday. I'm emo since I finished Dead Money. My heart was indeed left in Sierra Madre, much to reflect on... ''do you think this obsessive psycopath ever felt warmth in his heart from experiencing real love?'' I asked on twitter when I posted this over there. I got many interesting responses that have my eyes still tearing up.
A punter in Freeside just looked over at Lily Bell and went 'psh, another NCR grunt' and I think she was halfway into saying 'hey do I LOOK like a goddamn soldier to you-' before collapsing into giggles and wheezing 'oh, wait, I guess they meant you, Boone'
got a minute? why, yes I do
i like to think of my ocs living in my brain like its neko atsume. a few come to visit me and im delighted! i take pictures of them and give them treats and then they leave and then other ocs show up, and some are frequent visitors while others are a Rare sighting but i still love them all
Lily Bell has been a busy bee and it's hard to keep up the diary!!
She headed to Sloan to meet up with Melissa and convince her to tell Papa Khan to back out of the Legion alliance - plus helped her with her supply troubles. It was a nice excuse to wander around Sloan, Primm and of course she couldn't pass up swinging by Goodsprings since she was in the area. As a player I was SUPER charmed to ask whatshisname in Sloan how he knew Melissa and for him to reveal she's his daughter. Lily Bell sniped some Deathclaws and got Melissa her chemicals - she's not really anti-chem-dealing or anything, and definitely doesn't care that it's 'illegal' ('according to who?' She says) even though it's not really her bag.
Camp McCarran to deliver a Crimson Caravan invoice was next - and was treated to getting Arcade's take on Hildern, along with Angela Williams asking her to look for Keely at Vault 22. Lily Bell's skin crawls at the very mention of vaults, but if someone's in danger she's agreed to have a look soon. She nipped into the Strip via the metro line, and after installing Yes Man on the Lucky 38 mainframe, it was such a weight off her shoulders and Arcade opening up to her about his past made her so happy she went and got roaring drunk and gambled the night away (but at the Atomic Wrangler. She still doesn't really trust the Strip.)
Suitably juiced up, she also finally found them their sexbot and hooked up a deal with Hadrian and Tommy Torini. While in the Strip, she finally checked back in with Cachino and Gomorrah (hoping things cooled down enough after she helped Joana and Carlitos out) - only to find a horrible pile of snuff tapes and Legion arms dealing. Ever the charisma-toting charmer, she basically got Big Sal and Nero to shoot each other in the end, on the basis that Cachino being in charge and owing her some favours was definitely better than any of the alternatives. She didn't weep over shooting Clanden after he tried to attack her, either.
While cleaning up along the Strip, finally it was good time to check in on the White Glove society, who she managed to get sponsored into, drug their wine and extract Gunderson with a minimum amount of fuss. After resting up at Lucky 38 (but it'll never be home - somehow it reminds her too much of the Sierra Madre) she and Arcade headed out via Westside to talk to Judah Kreger towards Vault 22, and have just spent a brutal 24 hours with almost no sleep clearing it out and helping Keely. She hates Vaults with a passion, but Arcade being there plus whoever was kind enough to leave a flamer got her through it.
