They had to remove kids from both games to release them in Europe.

they didnt actually remove them though - just made them invisible and unable to be interacted with.
this caused a cool bug where kids in a certain shop could pickpocket items out of your inventory without any recourse.

This makes me want to play Baldur's Gate again to see if you can kill kids. Same company - later release date. I'm pretty sure you can, somebody did it in the great IWD2 LP.

I remember tabloids being outraged over here because of a mod that added teletubbies to Quake. It was because they gibbed into bloody chunks like everything else.

Great question, OP. It's a toss-up, but the best faction was surely The Hotdoggers. If you'll recall, they were the ones who fashioned their armor and weapons to resemble hot dogs. They also swore off sunscreen so their skin would look more hotdog-like. I'll always remember their third quest when Gary "Bruce" Bacons memorably swore, "Suck The Chili From My Dog Hole" before he wasted Karl "King" Footlonger.

Of all of the options, Mr. House is the only one that makes any long term sense.

The NCR is an overextended borderline failed state. Democracy is great, but when everyday is a crisis, survival is more important.

Caesar is a gently caress.

Yes Man is definitely the funniest route, but in the end you are a guy who is good at shooting things.

The geckos are too drat cute to be threatening. It's especially adorable when they put their hands over their heads when you shoot them. I tried looking for screenshots but somebody thought the same thing as me and decided to make them more intimidating.

for sure, but it's also a shame he doesnt really give a poo poo about people, just the idea of them. i mean what kind of psycho bombs vault dwellers in their own home, allows the oversight of employees butchering and serving customers, etc. he wants to get us to the moon again but loving why? in the end he's the safest option for vegas and "people", but it'd sure be nice if he looked down from his tower every once in awhile.

Keeping the dam would actually be pretty awful for the NCR. Their resources are stretched thin as-is, so having this huge settlement so far from Shady sands would stretch their already shaky supply lines to the breaking point. Their BoS-like obsession with maintaining the institutions of the old world is terrible, and doomed to eventual failure.

Presto posted:

The NCR is weak and corrupt from over expansion and needs a period of consolidation. Handing the Mojave to them is just going to make everything worse.

The NCR route isn't actually one that I've done before, and I really like the idea that these concepts which are presented in the story as political views from various characters, are just the bickering complaints of right wing morons in rural areas of the country rather than absolute truth presented by the storyteller.

I'm due for a new playthrough of New Vegas and this is the sneering coastal liberal attitude I want to bring into it: Oh, goverment overspending will be the doom of us all? Right on, I'm sure libertarianism will do you all far better.

They did originally consider allowing you just to leave the Mojave at the NCR base at the edge of the map where all the trading caravans were backed up.

Like I get why they didn't end up doing it, but still think it would of been a great choice to let the player make. Just either a gently caress them all, or I chose not to make a choice, or what ever other reason a player may decide that's the best option. Seems like a good alternative for The Yes Man ending.

Boomers were fun, especially because each time I'd arrive at their gates I'd have like several broken, mangled limbs. Now with older, wizened eyes i think less of them because the crazy isolation would be hell on my dating life.

As far as major factions go, Independent with Yes Man seems best since that allows me to rewrite an equitable american society in my head. NPR was my first choice when I first beat the game. I thought they were nice enough until they made me obliterate BoS. I couldn't weasel my way out of having the NCR avoid them, they absolutely wanted them dead. So it just felt like weird flawed america again.

pax romana the actual one was a period of relative prosperity wherein countless individual towns and cities were capable of flourishing since there were no nearby enemies to fight and every road is heavily travelled and open for trade

the pax romana they portray in new vegas is more like a scorched earth where nothing exists except debased merchants and sex farms. its not even attractive to consider. only caesar claims it to be a shining example of the legion's protection. he's also basically rush limbaugh so that tracks.

"To ravage, to slaughter, to usurp under false titles, they call empire; and where they make a desert, they call it peace." Calgacus, Celtic chieftain, on the Pax Romana (paraphrased by Tacitus)
