Fallout: London - Part 17 - Boxing Clever

[@0chuklz0]

You have to admire Jon's consistency with perception. You find two pubs in close proximity (granted the second was found accidentally), completely ignoring the icon showing a third pub within spitting distance of the first two.

[@EndertheWeek]

Started by saying he missed a safe. Goes into the pub and misses a safe. Also Naval mines are set off by something hitting one of their spikes and I'm pretty sure one of them was red so perhaps that is like the Mutant weak point.

I do love the irony of Jon reminding himself that all pubs have a collectable beer mat, and then completely failing to track down the beer mat in the station pub he was standing in. To be fair though, the pub in Tottenham Court Road station doesn't actually have a pint symbol, so it is easy to overlook.

[@JamieCameron-Mackintosh-z7c]

Jon, I think Keira may have been struggling a bit at the BT tower because she got blown into the middle distance in a decidedly un-ladylike manner when you shot and detonated one of the Siege Naval Walkers.

[@docette2015]

I love how, when you promise to start looking for more coasters, you immediately find two that are basically useless to your current build at this point in time. That plus the game's tendency to give you stupid Legendaries whenever you fight Legendary enemies makes me smile. XD But it's very fun to see you wandering around taking in the sights and making sure to visit your favorite landmarks -- hopefully you have some fun places to show us in Westminster!

[@Uchooze]

Technically China is the enemy in the Fallout universe, so Japan Town makes a lot of sense.

Fascinating to watch Jon spend 2 episodes trying to reach Piccadilly by London knowledge, when there's a magical quest marker :)

[@wolfen210959]

That has been the way that Jon has approached all of the quest markers in this game, totally ignore them while taking scenic routes to everywhere else, which inevitably has led him to visit locations he's not supposed to be yet. I've honestly lost count of the number of inaccessible areas, and silenced, named, npcs he's found.

[@Foremarkex]

Crossrail shouldn't exist in Fallout London, but wouldn't be on the Underground map anyway as it's generally too modern for that consideration. Though much of the route did exist.

[@NathanWeeks]

The Mad Jack fight appears to be a recreation of the cut Combat Zone fight you were supposed to have with Cait to obtain her as a companion!

[@thomasdunn3118]

If you recruit Mad Jack as a companion, does he start wearing Cait's outfit? And if not, why not?!

[@TheGrinningViking]

It's worth noting that modern style railroad maps aren't maps of the physical lines, but rather the routes that travel between them. Physical tunnels aren't perfectly reflected and they will completely ignore discontinued and service tunnels or list an express route and a route with multiple stops as if they follow a different route physically when they actually use the same tunnel.

[@shawnwilburn5382]

Bows are good in this mod because crafting arrows at ammunition workbenches tends to be really cheap. That combined with the fact you can reclaim the arrows after firing them as you've seen means it's great for conserving ammo. ... you can also modify them into ridiculous nuke launchers if you really want. Not sure if the unique one can be though.

[@luckyheather2807]

They are there because of Camelot I guess and its so silly they walk about with the bow loaded and get in each others way. People dont walk around with a drawn bow as it takes strength to pull the bow and hold it there. My husband used to do Dark Age re enactment and he explained that to me.
