I enjoy roleplaying that Ulysses has the wrong Courier and has obsessed over some random person who wasn't even involved in Ulysses' story until the Divide.

I can't believe I put off playing Tale of Two Wastelands so long

Would've liked a bit of tweaking in dialogue to acknowledge my character is actually from DC and not The West but you know. Also wow this is stable as hell, except Dead Money for some reason.

Also rip Ulysses, made fun of ED-E and died. Dumb idiot also thought I was from the wrong direction lol :v:

Should probably go find Liam Neesom at some point it's been like three years

I always like to read it that way as well. Like to think of the courier as someone who new on the job and just has really lovely luck, but just trying to make the best of it.

Ulysses is just DFENS when the fast food place refused to sell him the breakfast menu and he took it out on the restaurant employees instead of the corporate that made the policy. The ultimate male Karen looking for the shift manager

Didn't you mean to ask about flowers?
"Your actions have consequences, Courier! You should've opened that package!"

"Bro do you know how incredible it is that there are people willing to deliver goods and don't just steal the package every time in this setting to begin with? You want me to open and tamper with peoples goods?"

"You should've looked!"

"OK, it's a random technological device. I should've recognized this?"

"Uhh... Bear and Bull!"

Hmm true. Although I agree it is a bit unfair, I think, particular if it happened more than once, it might lead to a bad end of year employee review.

Ulysses is half mad from repeated trauma and looking for someone to blame, he's an unreliable narrator.

Regarding bases, I use the Lucky 38, but it's annoying that it's behind so many loading screens.

Holograms are a cool lore idea, but a frustrating gameplay one.

Holograms were fine for me. Easy enough to take your time for the most part, since they were mostly in "pristine" areas without a lot of traps.

It's the beartrap, speaker, cloud, ghost people combo that made things stressful.

I'll be honest I think they'd do quite well in the Mohave wasteland. Like they may not be the best scammers in the world but they're more competent than Fantastic and somehow how he's surviving.

Comic characters in fallout games rarely see a bad ending. Dave of the Republic of Dave is the only one I can really think of.

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed shitposting.
Always Sunny characters in New Vegas would obviously run a bar, probably in Freeside because they would never have enough money on hand to get into New Vegas proper. One of them would probably die trying to bluff their way past the New Vegas door guard robots and I could imagine situations where it's literally any of them, but Frank would be my first guess.

But I don't think any of the people running saloons get into serious trouble in New Vegas unless you side with the Powder Gangers against Goodsprings.

gently caress Beyond the Beef. I did all I could to get a happy ending. just to discover that I was trapped in dining area. The only way I got out without being killed was to kill a guard in the kitchen, steal his key and dressing as a white glove member.

I always need a guide to complete that one without a mass-murder of White Gloves. On my current playthrough, I exited through the wrong door, so the White Gloves attacked and me, Cass, and Ted had to beat about thirty of them to death with their own clubs.

I'm doing a playthrough where I collect all of the unique weapons, and I can only use the last three unique weapons that I found. I love how New Vegas has unique weapons that look different from the base ones, whereas in Fallout 3 and 4 they look exactly the same and simply have better stats.

It's a shame because on paper it's a fun mission with lots of way in which you can complete it. I can't imagine being heartless enough to offer up one of my companions though. Especially since my current companion is Veronica and I just gave her a pretty dress.

I like your style hombre, but this is no laughing matter. Assault on a police officer. Theft of police property. Illegal possession of a firearm. FIVE counts of attempted murder. That comes to... 29 dollars and 40 cents. Cash, cheque, or credit card?

It's simple:

1. Give Veronica a pretty dress.
2. Let Veronica be murdered and eaten.
3. Kill Veronica's entire family and clan.

You can mix up the order if you want! But item 1 does have to happen before item 2. Maybe you kill her family, give her a dress to cheer her up, and then when she's still sad, declare her a lost cause?
