R.I.P. Jericho.
Was heading over to Casey's garage to get Dad are start that mission, and was going over a bunch of rocks. I think he had to go around and got caught by a few Radscorpions. Just fascinates me that the companions I had could storm in against Mutants and Talon Comp. baddies but get taken out by the mutated animals in the game so easily. Going solo now for a bit. After starting the Chinese Invasion sim, that seemed to get me enough Karma to turn me to evil instead of Very Evil. Will miss that guy - loved giving him grenades. The dumb ### was throwing them against Molerats and other weak foes. Good for a few laughs.
Headed over to Evergreen Mills and cleaned that out, and now have the terrible shotgun. Thought the Wasteland Survival guide being active was a fluke, so got food at the Super Duper Mart. Seems as though Ghoul Moira is at the Underworld now, and I can still do that quest. Have that one live, also talked to Reily, so that is an option as well. So many choices. I think I am at level 15 now. Have more trading options as well - Moira, Tulip, Paradise Falls, the Caravans. Dumped a bunch of weapons and stuff, so I think I am at 5-6K in caps as well.
