Fall Springs

More crazy grinding!

Isn't it paradoxical that the most fun part of the game is grinding, but that's also the part where I can't write a lot about, because it's repetitive? Have some super highlights.

Play this song for best emotional IMPACT.

Trap!door

This kills the roller.

After grinding a bit, I returned to the Doctor, who had an idea about making me into a übermare.

Uh oh.

Cyborg pony with the thickest wallet, that's me!

You are not going to take my money and run, are you?

So I checked out his cyborg services...

Nice.

Time to get back to my creative destruction of ghouls! Some highlights:

Accuracy: Celestia-tier.

Have you ever fought so hard that when you came to your senses you are absolutely nAKeD?!

Awesome!

Once, I shot an EMP shell at a robot right in front of me. The results were... unexpected, but expected in hindsight.

I'd like to take a minute to thank the makers of Pipbuck for making it absolutely indestructable, even when an EMP explodes right in its face.

Sewage, take two

I went to the sewage again after reaching level 10, and it was finally a reasonable fight. More grinding ensued. The sewage, unlike the factory, has exit to the right, not downstairs like in the factory.

Just a note: wear that yellow anti-radiation suit here would help. The water is pretty toxic.

Leaning tower of physics!

Then I came across a strange place.

Time to read a ton! Thank Celestia that Velvet Remedy has good journalling skills.

Note that in Equestria, naive dualism is right. There is a soul and a body. Though presumably the soul would still be a physical thing, otherwise the standard problems of dualism (how does a non-physical soul interact with a physical body?) would come.

Also, Velvet used an argument from nature: "only a monster could commit such a mocker over nature". This is actually somewhat justifiable in Equestria, considering that in Equestria, nature is quite benevolent, and at least partially governed by personal gods, Celestia and Luna. As such, it's possible that what's natural is really more likely to be good.

Continue.

Velvet Remedy, I'm coming!

Also, there's a secret stash on the top.

Okay... Well, suffice to say that the sewage is way harder than it looks. The terrain is very uneven, slowing me down by about 30% compared to when in the factory, even when no creature is around.

The soldier ghouls hit really hard and fast, especially when underwater which slows me down. The only way I could kill them was to use Distortion Field and hit them with the shotgun "Erebus" repeatedly.

Rescuing captives

Here's a picture of this place after I destroyed it. You can still see the landmines. The guard posts on the right are empty now, but they used to be occupied with the strongest Raiders with the biggest guns, and also armored turrets.

Into the Raider's base, I encountered a slave...

Those fucking bastards!

Fueled by righteous fury, I stormed in and destroyed the Raiders. Then I came face to face with the Raider Boss.

Note: not actually the Raider Boss.

The battle was fun. I hit him on one corner, luring him to that corner, then ran to the other corner and repeat. Eventually I got impatient and brought out my giant grenade thrower and...

Amazingly, the slavers were perfectly healthy after that wall-destroying boom.

Also, to nopony's surprise, the Raiders suck at computers.

Turns out that was not the boss. The true boss was Butch.

Wrong. If I see him, he's dead!

Turns out, for Raiders, only size matters.

My name's Cosmia Nebula (not a Littlepip clone), and it's you who'd be finished!

The background music during the fight was Aphex Twin - Come to Daddy. I roared like a kitty. A murderous kitty armed with five thousand bullets.
