What would Americana and the Bygone Era be if not for the lumberjacks and foresters such as Paul Bunyan, Big Joe Mufferaw, or Axe Man? As we might all agree, Fallout: New Vegas was seriously lacking in the axe department - catering only to girly-men firefighters and "leurs imitateurs bébé pathétiques".
It's time to get rid of your MLP and anime-encrusted load orders, cause we're whipping up flannel, flapjacks and cheap beer to finally put a couple of hairs on your infantile chests while you cut the people of Fallout: New Vegas in HALF! 50% reduction!
Now, as the legend goes, this axe here was held by one of the very few men who saw the bigfoot of the lumberjack world - the Splinter Cat. My words could not do it justice, so I'll offer a small description of this woodsman's wet dream to illustrate just what you boys are going to get a taste of:
"The Splinter Cat Scientific name: Nasusossificatus arbordemolieus Responsible for: shattered trees
This husky feline is an indiscriminate destroyer of hollow trees, which it mines for bees and raccoons. Climbing a tree, it propels itself off with powerful legs right into another, blasting the trunk with its wedge-shaped snout and reinforced noggin. The experienced frontiersman knows well “the moronic activities of the Splinter Cat,” writes Henry H. Tryon, who published his own Fearsome Critters in 1939, three decades after Cox’s encyclopedia. “If the Cat finds food in the ruptured trunk, he is temporarily appeased. If not, he goes immediately for another tree. And right there is the big trouble. The Cat doesn’t use any judgment in selecting trees, he just smashes one after another until he gets a meal.”
“Like many of the cat tribes,” Tryon adds, “he is strictly a night traveler and hence is rarely observed. But he’s often heard, and the abundance of his work is ample evidence of his existence, numbers and activity.”
In reality, the splinter cat’s destruction is the work of lightning. When a tree is struck, sap boils and steam forms as cells in the wood explode. If the path of the lightning runs more along the edges, the tree can survive, less a good amount of its bark. But if the strike travels down its core, the whole thing can pop like it was packed with dynamite, sending wood shards flying and branches crashing to the ground, no fiendish felines required."
So stick the dang meshes in your meshes folder and click the little box on your load order, get your Courier up to Jacobstown and by God, don't ever look back. Enjoy,
