Drugs should be for EVERYONE! That�s how this world can become bearable for all of us.
And the Legion want to destroy that for them, what with their ban on drugs and liquor and all things fun.
Do you want the Legion to win the war on drugs? Or do you want wonderful, harmless drugs to prevail?

God, I wish that something like this would crop up if you were either high or suffering from addictions at the time. The goofier speech checks are great, especially that "Actually, I have some Psycho on me right now..." one. (again, more content I've never seen, this friggin' game I swear)

More games should have unrepentant vile bastards within headshot range, it's quite satisfying.

Edit: Bodies that are missing limbs in this game still have the hitboxes and bones for the limbs, they're just using a "bloody stump" model that hides most of it. You can shoot a corpse in its phantom limbs and draw blood.

It's one of the few times you can just go all-out on an entire settlement and not be a horrible rear end in a top hat. Kinda like Paradise falls. There's a reason why people go on psychopathic killing sprees in Bethesda games' towns- it's a rare circumstance where the combat system really has enough combatants around to make it interesting.

And now I need to go hit him with 23 separate combat knives in succession

That's certainly a fitting end.

On a random tangent the sub-bunker guard also has the most inexplicable dialog flag in the game.

eating only apples posted:

What's that?

McTimmy posted:

I'll mention it when the trigger's gone through.

On a Benny topic, my first kill was an arena fight with just a single bop making him keel over.

BUT in hilarious buggy news: If you talk to Benny in The Tops and leave, he'll flee, then you can go get him killed at the Fort and if you return to the Presidential Suite, the goons will go up to kill you and ghost Benny will talk through the intercom.

Also I finally got around to answering this.

So, the weather station guard protecting Mr. House's bunker that Sun passed by wayyyyy earlier has initial first-time meeting you dialog. This includes specifically recognizing you as President Kimbell's killer, a quest you could only possibly have gotten by going the NCR path and getting him killed that way, as the other routes all require you to meet this guard beforehand. But going that deep into the NCR path locks you out of the Legion path.

Glad y'all are looking forward to the next update! I have lots of stuff in mind, but for those who want me to stab Caesar 23 times, that might be difficult, given Sun's maxed Melee Weapon's skill and Boone's AoE shots in his tiny and clustered tent. I'll try my hardest, but nothing is guaranteed.

Except shitloads of gifs of Legion boys getting destroyed. That is 1000% guaranteed.

Stabbing Caesar 17 times with a Legion knife may be badass, but war is hell.
