Fallout 3 Mods: Spider – It Came From the Vault!

Kris Takahashi Trailers and Teasers 9 Comments

I have a good feeling that Audrey, who I showed off previously, is going to be universally popular. She has an acid wit, is fun to be around, and is part of the largest quest in the bundle so far. The same is true for Mortar. The big lug will have some features that are fairly unique and will help fill those long, arduous gaps of nothing as you walk the Capital Wasteland.

There are other followers, however, who I’m sure will be much more polarizing. Spider is one such companion. If you like crazy though, she will definitely be in your rotation. Plus, her quest gets you some fun prizes like the three-part holotape series in the video above. Version 0.03 can be downloaded from the wiki page or on the forums, or by just clicking on that link.

Fallout 3 Mods: Vault 101 Questline – Audrey

Welcome back! I’m tentatively lifting the redirect after rebuilding the site from scratch, clicking on links for two days without trouble and installing some new security measures. These measures include a malware scan, login tracking to ensure someone isn’t using my admin account, and a system to check that core files aren’t altered. Hopefully it won’t slow the site too much, it’s expensive enough as it is.

During the hiatus I also tried a number of new themes, and while some of them were cool from a novelty standpoint, they didn’t function as well without the duel sidebars and widescreen post section.

Others just didn’t look anything like the advertised theme. Granted, it might’ve worked with some tweaking, but I couldn’t figure out how.  Above is the MH Cicero theme in theory…

And this is the result. Gosh Darn Diddly Doo indeed.

In any case, I’m burying the lede here, which is another new Fallout companion for the three-part Vault 101 questline. She’s voiced by Natalie Proudlock and named after a Hepburn, but in reality she’s more Katharine than Audrey.

I decided to go against the traditional ghoul voice on this one, not just for the sake of Natalie’s throat but to better get the right accent and emotion. Hope you like it.

Fallout 3 Mods: Factory Sealed – Virgil

Here’s Patrick Mahoney, who previously voiced Arelthor in Interesting NPCs, voicing Virgil for the mod Factory Sealed. He done good.

In website news, I’ve also been playing around with new WordPress themes for the dotcom site, but haven’t found one that serves all our various needs better than the one it currently has. If anyone knows of a good one speak now or forever hold your peace. In fact, I’d be willing to buy one if it makes browsing easier.
