moot the hopple posted:Barton's problem is I just punched the heads clean off an entire den of geckos. What makes him think his head is connected so soundly? He assumes that the geckos had softened you up a bit, not given you enough XP to level up and get even more skill points into "punch heads clean off". I guess Barton is a few steps below the stormcloak in Skyrim who gets their head chopped off at the beginning in the "poor, doomed bastard" rankings.

NCR paper money is a fiat currency, and inflation is the reason its lost so much value. Yeah - I don't think that irradiating the gold reserves would make much change to the value of the gold. You can't move the stuff, sure, but it's still there. I think this is how it actually works in the real world.

The amount of times your character has/can have brain surgery by not-entirely-competent doctors, (a village doctor, anarchist scientist, the worst of the Old World super-scientists) your character having a spotty memory makes sense. It's a shame that you can't tell ol' the Bear and the Bull that you have no idea what he's talking about, probably because you've had people stick their hands in your brain-pan a half-dozen times in the last three weeks, with varying levels of consent.

Utgardaloki posted:Caeser isn't actually prone to enslaving people that just happen to be nearby, that's pretty much fanfiction. The Legion focuses on militant / tribal groups that are far enough away from however Caeser defines 'civilized' to be easily brainwashed / assimilated. People with a lot of worldly experience or education make for lovely slaves, they stir dissent and other poo poo. Eddie Sallow is so poo poo at his Pax Romana Fan Fiction that he can't even control the wide-spread practice of slavery, including a couple hundred metres outside his tent. He's going to die from a well deserved brain tumour, and the guy who's set to take over was second fiddle to the last guy who failed to take over Hoover Dam, but at least the last guy managed to find some sort of reason/sense after he was set on fire and dropped several stories down a ravine. Caesar's Legion only has a chance if the Courier fixes everything wrong about them, like a dotting mother cleaning up after her children, or otherwise steps up to the plate to carry the slack of all the romailures. Anyway, I want to thank Ropekid for still coming into this thread and these forums to answer our questions after all these years. Clearly the Mailman Dictatorship ending is the best, with No-Bark holding the fort while the Courier is off getting casador stingers surgically removed from their person. Edit: and thanks to everyone involved in the game for creating a faction that we love to hate. LashLightning fucked around with this message at 13:56 on Jan 12, 2021 |

Lazy Pete is to powerful to be left unchecked! Fallout does has something of a history of things not turning out how you would like it to - it think it's the first game where you've got to leave the crime lords of a city well alone for the city to prosper, otherwise helping the sheriff let's the place lose any means of income and it collapses eventually.

StandardVC10 posted:No, I've definitely had the problem Halser is describing on PC too. Playing NV with the JSawyer mod for the first time, in Old World Blues I was constantly knocking hunting rifles, shotguns and super sledges out of Lobotomites' hands when I wasn't using VATS. Not so much of a problem elsewhere, that I've noticed. Maybe it's just the animation of how those particular weapons are held by NPCs that has caused it - most enemies in the Mojave are either creatures that don't wield weapons, raiders that tend to use weapons that fire from the hip or using close combat weapons, or I've been able to shoot with a silenced varmint/sniper rifle while hidden.

Maybe we could make a But every man (and woman) is to be his (or her) own king (or queen) so if someone is waltzing around deciding that they're the king of Kings, well, a King is not going to take kindly to that. It's not surprising they'd fight to the last man. Westside/Followers are more of the anarchist utopia that a bunch of people want out of New Vegas but the game doesn't go into them all that much. They get kicked around by the bigger groups and there's no way for the Courier to directly and outright secure them a place in the Mojave. Whenever I'm in Westside, I keep hearing Meansonovabitch say "I'm glad that Meansonovabitch is on our side" in his gruff voice.

UED Special Ops posted:Ahh yes, the NCR having a single lovely president after an incredibly competent one in Tandy and a few mediocre ones in the middle that don't get much mention equals the NCR 100% going down the exact same path as the old world US. Guess we better watch out for the NCR going after those Chinese solider ghouls in that one random factory in DC next cause they are going to get on that hate train for commies any day now...
So, they've had a so-so President followed by a great President, then a so-so, a guy who sucks and then a guy who sucks hard. It's a shame that the ending slides don't focus on how just, you know, letting Kimball suck up a JFK Special effects the Republic. Who takes over? Is the guy/gal who follows suck less, or more, or about the same? The move to expand East has been happening for about 20+ years at this point, due to public outrage over raider attacks. A House Win - and not outing Chief Hanlon - may well be the only thing that holds the NCR back. It's a shame that there's no way for the Courier to take their own kind of problem solving out west to deal with the Barons.

Chamale posted:I made a video about where you can find great melee, guns, and energy weapons while still at level one. Who needs to go searching the remote parts of the Mojave? Might as well just steal That Gun, especially with the JSawyer mod that makes the varmint rifle also take 5-point-whatever ammo. Slap the mods for the Varmint on, you've got yourself decent early, and mid, game weapons for medium and long range. I don't know how killing Lonesome Drifter effects the quest for getting acts for the Tops, and it seems a bit mean, too. I guess stealing That Gun is mean, but, eh, I'm already screwing over a bunch of people in Novac so~ Although, I play with the Viva New Vegas suggested mods, so That Gun is a lot cheaper under that.

The biggest problem with House is that he requires a somewhat functional NCR to, effectively, fund his plans. If you're able to ensure that NCR is somewhat functional - i.e. not a waterless, farmless desert, ground to dust under the unreasonable demands of the Brahmin Barons, etc - then why not just go all out NCR? You can show House your golf swing and still get NCR support, you can't give Crocker an early retirement and still keep House's plan running. House is a poor Independent ending, if you can take Old World Blues' Good Karma ending as a possible/reasonable canon. No need for Cyborg Hughes-Musk when Cyborg Postman/woman will do.

I don't think so. The Chairmen were going to be called the Geckos or something before it became "The Chairmen", so people headcanon that being his surname. Another common choice is Siegel, based on the surname of Benjamin Siegel, one of the early hotshots in Las Vegas history. Personally, I prefer Benny Bing.

Campaign 2281 Daniel [no surname]: "Let's talk fleeing Zion." Joshua Graham: "Kill the bastards." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7ZrU6qnhlg The Sorrows don't deserve to lose Zion so I just spread the Good News of High Velocity Brain Trauma among the White Legs. It did the Courier a world of good, maybe it'll do the same for the losers who aspire to be Roman cosplayers? Edit: You 'white saviour' either way because it's you who have to haul rear end to get together the bits and pieces needed for getting the tribes out of Zion safely. If you don't gather the compass and food and whatnot for them, it's awful for them on their journey to the Staircase or wherever the place is they flee to/through. If the Courier doesn't 'White Saviour' the day, Daniel fucks up the evacuation. Then the Sorrows need to rely on the more militant Mormons to 'protect' them in the harsh reality of the Wasteland.

Lt. Danger posted:however, the Sorrows and Dead Horses sleep in caves and under makeshift shelters. are they entirely incapable of even rudimentary construction? why? I thought the area that the Sorrows and Dead Horses were in was an area they had fled to after a series of attacks. Daniel already has a bunch of the 'tribals' and New Cannanites out of the area, this was to be the last of the evacuations. Daniel has the map and all already written out and stuff, and the Sorrows probably usually live further away from all the caves that they forbid themselves to enter. Graham wants to launch a last-chance, decapitating assault against Salt-In-Wounds and the White Legs.

Like taking the Rad Child perk and getting max radiation poisoning before entering the DLC area, giving you huge amounts of free healing letting you walk casually through poison clouds. Or taking Fortune Finder and drowning in casino chips, and Them's Good Eating and getting free healing items from the ghost people. You can build yourself to trivialise the whole thing when you know what's coming, which makes the second playthrough of it much more enjoyable Playing Dead Money with a Dean Domino build does seem it would trivialise a bunch of the bullshit. Discendo Vox posted:I know jsawyer said it was deliberately left open, but there is no way in my mind that the thing occupying the Rangers before they're recalled to fighting Caesar is anything other than pursuing the Enclave. Or they retroactively add another Big Bad that the NCR's been dealing with for the past 80-ish years since we last saw them. Could be Enclave, could be BoS, could be another raider-ish nationstate they've been dealing with in an underhanded manner, they could take the Van Buren idea of a pre-war Scientist secretly doing bullshit with the Blue Flu and have the rangers be trying to deal with that, etc.

Sounds exactly like something a person without a brain would do. I assume 'he' didn't take it personally. My first run in the game accidently became a Yes Man run because I didn't realise that hacking into that one computer to the left of House's big screen would piss him off so much. Aforehand I had been unlocking and hacking pretty much anything I came across, as long as it didn't say "detected" at the top of the screen there was never any bad consequences. With the securitrons now firing at me, I panicked, ran to the elevator and saw House in his chamber. Getting him out and trying to apologise didn't work. I shrugged my shoulders and killed him. My first Postman just bumbled through the Mojave, changing it forever entirely by accident.

The worst thing about Fallout 4 (OK maybe not the worst, but hear me out) is that the single most annoying character for regular lootin' and shootin' play, Strong the super mutant, may be putting forward the idea of the Master's Unity project but doesn't have the vocabulary for it and so comes off even more annoying than he normally is complaining about you daring to interact with the game's Minecraft aspects. I think Marcus has voiced his original support for the project, mentioning that a Human friend would have 'made a good mutant'.

Honest Hearts' problem is mostly that there are no good reasons to back Daniel's "plan". The conversations between many of the characters even reinforce that Daniel's plan is dumb: the NCR and Caesar's Legion are "tribes" just as the New Canaanite affiliated ones and the White Legs. Would it make any sense for the NCR to flee forever from the encroaching Legion? So, yeah, chalk me up for worst:average:best as HH:LR-DM:OWB. But they're all heads and shoulders above the FO:3 DLCs.
