I like/question how most of the strange activity affects Tumbleweed the most. The carnivores plant, the computer, burning buildings. In my opinion I think that Tumbleweed is the Pinkie Pie equvelent of the party. Minus the reality bending but all the funny. What ever happened to the "Mr Handy"? Last I remembered from the first chapter it was burning the diner.

It makes me happy that you think of him as the party equivalent to pinkie pie, I certainly am shooting for a character who has optimism and humor in spades. Questioning is a good thing, some of the weird stuff is definitely in there to make you ask questions. The weird stuff for me is what makes Fallout what it is! As for how it effects Tumbleweed, he is a little bit different from stable dweller protagonists like Littlepip and BlackJack. He is a wastelander through and through, so he is better adjusted to these things. Like a tumbleweed, he rolls with the punches, metaphorically and figuratively.
The Mr.Hoovsy is just as you say, at the bottom of a burning bar. In original drafts, I was thinking of possibly having him as a recurring character, but I liked how it tied everything together in the end of chapter 1. It felt satisfying. I won't say he is dead, it really come up to how much faith you have in the MoWT's ability to make things that can withstand the apocalypse. I absolutely loved writing the Mr.Hoovsy, so there will certainly be other amazing robotic personalities as we go along.
Thanks so much for commenting, it helps encourage me to keep writing.

I can't help but enjoy all the wacky things that happened to tumbleweed, especially his attempted hacking session. Ifeel that if he were to wake up from a drinking binge, he would wake up cuddling/spooning the the same or a different computer with an aqward conversation that ensues:
*Tumbleweed wakes with a mind splitting hangover*
Tumbleweed:Arrrgg-wu . . . What the buck?
computer: I had a great time lastnight.
*Tumbleweed stared in disbelief at the computer/screen, whatever*
computer: No one touched my programming like that for centuries.
*Tumbleweed fails to say anything coherent*
Computer: Tumbleweed?
Tumbleweed: Wa-um, I mean, yes?
Computer: . . . . . . I'm pregnant.
*Tumbleweed stares into space as his eyes dilate while trying to recall what brought him to such a strange predicament*

Just wishful thinking.

I appreciate this sooooo much, you have no idea! Who knows? its a wild wasteland out there! Anything can and just might happen... It is a good thing you are picking up on Tumbleweed + Computers = wacky antics. The tales of Tumbleweed's Electronic/robot Hijinks are not over.
I want people to have a fun time with these goofy characters dealing with scenarios with varying levels of seriousness. If I can make characters that you can't help making jokes and exploring silly ideas with, then I am doing exactly what I want. For me, Fallout Equestria wasn't just how it was written, it was about the imaginative ideas that got flowing along the way.
Oh, one thing to note: max in a stat is going to be really hard to reach in this series, since 100 isn't the limit...
Not that significant and not even that much of a recognizable reference, but I love the fact that this version of Ponyville remains faithful in design to the original. It makes the setting a whole lot more endearing.
'fast reflexes?' Surely, Tumbleweed, you don't need to brag within the narration about skills we're well acquainted with. ;)
The fight with the acidic plant was certainly a nice display of humor and team-bonding between Scapegrace and Tumbleweed. I think the 'historic value' joke was played one too many times during that sequence, but it was an entertaining dose of action, anyway. Part of me still paused to wonder just how in the world such a creature wound up in the home of a Ministry of Image writer, but that oddity is more a nitpick than anything else.
Brilliant bit of wordplay there. Well done.
It is uncanny just how durable earth ponies are made to be in this story. Killjoy is the number one violator. While I enjoy the character's personality and banter with his partner, I still cannot get over the fact that he shrugged off that many shots to the head. It may be revealed later on how he did exactly that, but with what is given in his introduction scene, it just becomes impossible to believe.
You used science on the terminal. You learned nothing new. This little scene harkens back to the brutality of lockpicking and science skills in the first two Fallouts. It was all trial and error.
You just continue to defy expectations! Anyway, in spite of the brevity of that action scene, it was definitely one of the best written so far. It does not go on for long enough to grow dull; it varies things up by having darkness play into the combat; it features plenty of humor while demonstrating Calypto's skill as a gunfighter. The whole scene breathes with the indulgence in absurdity and awesome that characterizes this story.
And what an excellent way to come full circle from the first chapter.
Overall, the chapter definitely seemed to go a different direction from the previous ones. Less internal dialogue from Tumbleweed and, thus, less witty lines. In exchange, the chapter feels like it progresses a lot smoother, moving into and out of action without creating overly long sequences. Absurdity still runs boundless, actually escalating (didn't think that was possible) with the hilarious Ministry of Morale interface. If there was one overarching criticism I had to lay on this chapter, it was definitely the fact that some jokes were used way too much. While the repetition of said jokes worked the first two or three times, by the fourth time something like Scapegrace's obsession with 'historic value' came up, it was stale.
Still, the story is tons of fun and engaging through and through. Looking forward to the next chapter!
Ch3 done. I got to say that there was a lot of good bits, but a bit too long compered to how long the other chapters are. Sofar, the computer was my favorite character.
So, tumbleweed finally finds calypto again, and finds him only in slight mortal peril. Despite this he decides to join him instead of returning to his job? Seems like a rather thin justification, but Tumbleweed is a little bit off.
Please tell me I'm not the only one reading Calypto's lines in McCree's voice.
