I named my character Harry DuBois, did an aproximation of his face, and took hoarder and wild wasteland as traits. Speech, Survival and Barter. 10 Perception, 1 Luck, the rest balanced.

I found her to have as much wacky casual adventure buddy vibe and nuanced character development as everybody else. I guess nerds don't need much excuse to bash their targets for being remotely adjacent to whatever offends dumb nerds? I didn't know Felicia from anything else, Veronica was just a notch higher on wacky than average. Everybody can be pretty god drat funny but dial it back for good world building when you want a conversation break between gunfights and to push their quests which are all well-written and moody and dramatic as hell.

ED-E: cute pet robot, goes beep boop, plays THEME MUSIC. Probably least offensive overall.

Rex: cute pet robot dog, goes beep bark, also hard to take any real stance against unless you hate dogs.

Cassidy: rootin' tootin' shootin' shitkicker pal. LONG DICK JOHNSON. Cucks you?!?!?! I'm sure there's nerds that hate women and hate both of them but Cass seems to dodge the lightning drawn to Veronica.

Boone: So god drat serious that itself is a bit wacky. Like if you take his hat away it's comedy gold in the delivery. May actually be too straightforward otherwise, not a lot of nuance past "sniper" and "100% dead serious" and "lovely recent history."

Raul: So people hate Veronica for being wacky but you can adventure with this guy, my favorite companion by a mile. Nerds are dumb.

Lily: I guess the wacky balances out with the endearing and people really can't hate on adventuring with swole grandma. Her personal quest is way too sad for anyone to be taken seriously trying to take a swing at Lily!

Arcade: One of the most nuanced fellas, I often give him a pass because I'm having too much fun with the usuals. I don't like that I have knowledge of the current cultural zeitgeist and that I suspect some people sell him to Caesar and gently caress him over for some sort of "owning a leftie", but I'm also happy to not spend too much time imagining strawmen like that. I think making Arcade your buddy requires a very specific RP concept of the Courier because otherwise he's the no-fun allowed guy in my dumb personal head canon. "Smart Guy and Idiot" is a classic pairing though.

Veronica: Voiced by nerd culture girl. Slightly too wacky. Criminally wacky. An actually perfectly reasonable development for somebody who spends their entire life in a rigid orderly sect that offers no reasonable future.

Wait, when does that happen? That'S hilarious.

"Cass survived to see the NCR flag flying proud over Hoover Dam, and thought for a moment... this is what a hero must feel like. She was about to tell the Courier not to get too proud of himself/herself, then she figured he/she knew that already...

... That night, Cass kicked in the door of his room to celebrate, only to find the man on the bed was an NCR soldier whose barracks had been destroyed. He was cute, though, so after having her way with him, she got the hell out, leaving an empty whiskey bottle as a note. As she walked along the Dam in the night, she felt drunk, content, and happy to be alive. Which to her, was the whole point of it all." - Side with the NCR at the end, complete Heartache by the Number, and play as a male courier.

I find it funny too but I was airing a little stream of consciousness about why lamer nerds might get mad about the NV companions and I've seen that one before in the wild.

Cass rules.

I started Fallout 3 for the first time, after spending two days trying to get it to not crash on startup. I did the infamous start and now I'm free to roam the wasteland.

I almost played New Vegas again out of frustration but decided not to. I know I'll play it again one day anyway.

I'm isntalling Tale of two Wastelands but part of me is worried I won't get the "true experience", whatever that means.

Edit: Well it says it can only install on vanilla New Vegas. That's a bummer.

The reinforced gecko backed armour from Honest Hearts that has fire resistance is a very, very good light armpur.

I meant the one you can craft, as getting the ingredients look like a pain. Is it the same?

MonsieurChoc: Oct 12, 2013; Every species can smell its own extinction.

Chamale posted:

The gecko armour isn't worth it because you need to go into Honest Hearts for it, and there are better suits of armour in that DLC. So if you go to all the trouble of killing three different types of gecko and crafting the stuff with 90 Survival, it'll be obsolete in an hour anyway. The reinforced leather gecko armour is worse than Joshua Graham's armour, and the reinforced metal gecko armour is worse than the Desert Ranger combat armour.

It's still got great stats if you love the appearance of it, but I don't find it worth the effort.

Thanks, that'll free some space in my pack.

You really get overloaded face, and even faster in JSawyer. That's why I'm now addicted to all types of alcohol.

Thinking of restarting with the trait to walk everywhere overloaded. And maybe try a different build than the one I always do of survival/gun/repair.

# ¿ Mar 30, 2024 22:25

MonsieurChoc: Oct 12, 2013; Every species can smell its own extinction.

I watched the entire show, and spoilers inbound.

The fall of the NCR haunts the enitre back half of the show. You meet a cattle baron who's styling himself President, the woman who set things in motion (Moldover?) is trying to revive the NCR using the cold fusion macguffin. You see a farmer in Ranger armor. When Lucy unfurls the NCR flag in Vault 4, you can hear the New Vegas main menu theme.

I think there's this belief that if civilization is allowed to rebuilt too much, it's not Fallout anymore. We clearly don't agree, but that's the idea they go with. So we have the good endings of the game as stopping points, and the Fallout emdia will instead follow the bad endings.

The fall of the NCR make sit become another myth of the Wasteland. A lost Silver Age people will try to bring back much like the Golden Age of pre-war.

I like this dumb lore drop, America was a fascist monster in Fallout (and in real life! dohohoh) so having the main character who was a soldier be complicit in warcrimes is perfectky logical. Either he realized the error of his ways as he grew older or he stayed a monster, that's on how you play him.
