I don't know who Benny is, but just from the screenshot, I totally wanted to punch him in the face, so this seems like a pretty awesome mod.

Nah, this is Obsidian we're talking about. You can just walk in and blow Benny's brains out with a concealed pistol and not say a word - hell, you can refuse to surrender your weapons and aggro everyone in the casino. It probably just wasn't as polished as it could have been; F:NV is less unfinished than most Obsidian games, but it is still a little unfinished.

Given that you get the opportunity to murder him with any weapons you choose within 30 seconds of that very decision, not so much! You can, of course, just keep giving him second and third chances if you really want. You end up going to the same places anyway, but for different reasons. It’s pretty well thought out.

My thinking was more along the lines of how dumb playtesters can be, and a string of "I only meant to insult him, not kill him!!" feedback from it.

You think you can take me at Satan's Hollow? Go 'head on!
They could've just had it be a "punch" and not an actual, in-game, damage-calculated unarmed melee attack. Have Benny get pissed, but not pissed enough to kill you and maybe you get taken to some back room by his goon squad. That's it, just make it a scripted event instead of "Whoops I punched his brain out of his face!"

Interesting though, your punches don't have the same effect against his goons after blowing his skull up. I wonder if dialogue attacks count as "sneak" attacks and that magnifies the damage.

VV I know, but who among us hasn't dumped SPECIAL points into Strength to carry out all the gold bars?

That would make sense. There's already an outcome where you get sent to a back room and have to fight some mans while Benny runs away.

Yeah also there's the fact that by giving the player an option to attack him directly is going to make most players ignore the alternatives. Because as far as videogame logic goes you have to go around exhaustively talking to NPCs clicking through every line of dialog they have, to find the option to convince Benney's gang that he is betraying them and his plan will gently caress them all over for his own benefit.

Which leads to a trap where the player's obvious default choice inevitably leads to slaughtering the casino full of lightly armed hapless bystanders who don't know they're supposed to be on your side, and are not aggressive/violent/evil/fascist/etc enough to make for a feelgood mindless karma-positive massacre.

I can't see it because of where it is, but apparently if you get the new version of ENB, it shows you "ENB Facts" while compiling that are... well, a lot of them are passive-aggressive anti-Community Shaders stuff. Dude's gone off more than his usual bullshit this time.

I was completely dismissive of networking as a dumb nerd but goddam, making friends has been so much more useful a skill than any technical ability I had as a 'smart kid.'

If someone is a lifelong modder that hasn't landed a proper game/programming job out of sheer social inertia they have problems. Boris, Arthmoor however many others. No amount of talent, ability or insight is a substitute for the ability to work well with others.

can't tell which is funnier...

toddler logic: "I said someone doxx this dude for me and snapped my fingers, that means you're supposed to do it right away"
or
completely misunderstanding copyrights: "when I have an idea I'm like a god creating valuable intellectual property that is entirely mine, if you independently have the same idea as me then you're a criminal stealing the thing I never bothered to write down or publish"
or
definitely rational and healthy behavior as sane people do: "my life sucks but I've got a list of people I need to get even with, including That Girl Who Didn't Laugh At My Really Great Joke In Sixth Grade"

He doesn't get any money from this ENB project of his besides any donations from people who like how the lighting makes their waifu's look right? this is purely an insane russian ego that thinks that nobody else can make a light engine because he made one first?

What's really disturbing are the echo chamber followers who aren't immediately calling him a crazy person, just the one guy reminding him it's against the discord TOS to doxx.

You can just replace "light engine" with "unofficial patch" and you'd have Arthmoor

Considering he’s probably poured thousands of hours into a project spanning more than a decade (Skyrim is 12 years old kill me) that sounds like a decent read.
