Infanticide posted:In regards to the creeps staying in the apartments in Westside, when you discover they've been selling women and children to Cook-cook of all people, you have the option of telling Pretty Sarah what they've been doing so she can take care of the problem personally. I didn't know you could do that, but it's not like I'd try to do so in any of my playthroughs- those two are also on my 'kill ASAP' list, along with the 3 named fiends. Those 5 people, and no more (not counting random fiends and whatnot).

Tubgirl Cosplay posted:Varmint rifle, then get Ratslayer for both scoped and silenced, it's a goddamn monster when sneaking even without mods. You could pretty much have your signature by Level 2 if you beeline it and keep the thing fed and repaired easy forever. This, holy poo poo, this. Ammo's plentiful, it's easily repaired (not that you'll really need either), and it's a named weapon you can get early. What more do you need?

Which is why I tend to side with House; dude's got all the tech of the Old World, willing to share it (according to his own timetable, true, but willing all the same), and is honestly the 'get poo poo done' type. Not to mention he's an enlightened dictator with the benefit of immortality, ensuring his vision (which I agree with in general) will be able to be carried forth into the future without successors diluting or perverting it.

Acebuckeye13 posted:Also, I don't really understand why they're bad people. Sure, they're somewhat xenophobic and somewhat trigger happy with the Artillery, but that's pretty understandable when you live in a world with giant mutated animals and multiple belligerent factions at your borders. Yeah, that's the impression I got from them as well. If they were like the Legion, I'd say they're bad people- but they're not. They just want to be left alone to do their thing; once you meet them, they're actually pretty all right. As for the ants- what? Come on, we've all done more tedious things, and if you have a Stealth Boy and (spoilering to be safe) Lloyd's sonic wotsit, you don't have to do any fighting at all

Man, I loved DM. Everything, from the survival horror feel to the exploding collars even. Maybe I'm just simple (I like the ME series, for example  ), but I thought the collars really added to the tension and timing of certain parts.Dominion posted:I was about to put my fist through the monitor at a few points when you have to make a very tightly timed run through a head-explody area, like after Dean/Christine die or after you deal with Elijah, but its a twisting maze of catwalk or hallways and you don't necessarily know where you have to go or where the speaker is. and this happens several times. No offence, but you must have some REALLY bad directional sense for this to happen  How many times have you played DM? I can maybe see this happening on your first run, but after that?Dominion posted:Also the whole concept of let's restrict doctor's bags and then coat the brown ground in bear traps was nice. Bear traps are really easy to spot if you move along slowly, and strafe slowly down corridors and stuff. I don't mean holding down Shift and plodding along, I mean just watching the floor a bit. Dead Money is Resident Evil, not Doom. Just be careful, watch out on the ground, and you're good. I never got hit by a trap in Dead Money, even in my first runthrough. It's that easy.

DoctorTristan posted:On that point, what is up with the collars? Elijah starts out telling you "Don't disobey me or kill any companions, or BOOM!", but then the writers apparently realise that they need you to do both of those things, so suddenly it's okay so long as you run away fast enough. It seems bizarre to me that a core mechanic is used so inconsistenly. The collar delays only work within the confines of the hotel. Furthermore, Elijah's not exactly the sharing type, and having seen nothing but baseless greed from your predecessors, decides to get rid of those potential threats as soon as their usefulness is over. You're just the tool he's chosen- remember, you can't actually side with him until he comes for you.

thehumandignity posted:Uh. Vulpes massacres a town for no reason. Actually, there is a reason, and it's all about why he asks you to spread Nipton's destruction to the NCR outpost- it's literally a terrorist act, meant to destabilize and demoralize the already near-broken NCR army. Not only that, but it sends a message to the locals- the NCR talk pretty about needing your taxes to ensure your protection, but NCR are powerless. Is it ruthless? Yes it is, but it also serves a strategic purpose.

thehumandignity posted:Okay, yeah, let me rephrase: No acceptable reason. Fair enough- but you have to admit, that without the Courier, the Legion would have won the same way the Cong did; demoralizing the troops and the civvies to the point where the war would have been untenable. And like I said, from a cold, ruthless, inhuman perspective, what the Legion did was desirable. For some people, that sheer ruthlessness is a selling point. The NCR is going about the war all the wrong way- this isn't so much a matter of killing bodies as it is a war of ideas, a war fought in the hearts and minds of people. The NCR can protect all the towns they want, but a single Nipton will have them ousted right quick. Hell, you might make the argument that Nipton was actually a way to minimize casualties- a straight up fight might end up with many more civillian deaths, whether from outright fighting or uncowed resistance. Put the fear of Caesar into them, however, and you'll take over other towns without a single shot fired or drop of blood spilled. All you need is one big atrocity, something to make people think that they might be next if they don't cooperate.

DemonNick posted:As for the Khans aren't raiders in New Vegas, and I might be misremembering, but they aren't really raiders in Fallout 2 either. In that game the hero is hired to go to the Khans' ancestral home and massacre all of them so that NCR can salvage the technology there. So I Don't think it's inappropriate to say the NCR are the bad guys in that situation. Seriously the worst thing the Khans have ever done is kidnap Tandi. That's pretty small potatoes. They were raiders in FO2, you just don't see them raid. They also extort the squatters around the Vault. That said, the NCR's hatred for them, especially now that FO2's events have long since ended, is a little overmuch.

DemonNick posted:Fair enough. For what it's worth, NCR runs what amounts to a terror campaign in that game (They pay Bishop to pay raiders to harass and attack vault city), so it's not like their hands are clean. The way I see it, the Legion is just a lot like the early NCR, just a bit more in-your-face with their evils; sure, they might send infiltrators like Vulpes to do some behind-the-scenes wetwork, but at the end of the day, they're going to leave "LEGION WUZ HERE YO" signs everywhere. The NCR? Without the hero bringing proof of the NCR's work to VC, it would never have got out.

IIRC, freakin' Dragon Age actually pulled that off- asking for rewards and generally being a dick really did net you more rewards than being good did, which often amounted to you getting the warm fuzzies and nothing else. Siding with the ostensible 'bad guy' in one of the main quests also meant you got a better ending.

Acebuckeye13 posted:Are you aware of what he does to The Kings if you try to negotiate a ceasefire between them and the NCR? House is a tyrant, and I have serious doubts that life would improve for anyone but the extremely wealthy under his rule. Good thing I have all these caps then, eh?  Honestly though, I see House as the least of the three evils. Legion's just nuts, and the NCR's a carbon copy of the prewar government, see where THAT got them. House is a manb of vision, and unless you screw him up, he'll have enough time to realize that vision without having it perverted by successive generations, as is the case with Caesar and the NCR.

Pope Guilty posted:I dig how people can't agree on Dead Money. Some people think it's great, others think it's horrible, and both sides have arguments to make instead of just "It's awesome!" "It sucks!" "Does not!" "Does too!" Put me into one of the DM lovers, and also list me down as a Honest Hearts 'meh'-er. HH's main story was good, but the whole exploration aspect left me kind of bored, outside the Survivalist. It's also why I didn't much like Fallout 3, in fact.

OldMemes posted:The main issue I had with LR is that Ulysses never really explains what was so special about the Divide. He just keeps going on and on about how something new was being bulit there, but it just seems to be another small trading town - more like Novac than say, Shady Sands. That's exacly it- Ulysses had lived his life among proto-nations, the NCR and Legion. Where they did not touch, were only small tribal groups and raiders out for survival. Hopeville was more than a Novac, or even New Vegas, the latter ruled by an electronic overlord- Hopeville was a place that maintained its own identity, its own independence. For someone whose life experience to that point had been to witness large numbers of people either aimless or ruled, Hopeville was a breath of fresh air- here were a people who owed no allegiance to any power, and yet thrived. It was mind blowing to Ulysses, and in Hopeville, he might have found peace. And then the Courier came along, blithely dropping off a package that destroyed everything. Your character never too responsibility, never once said that 'hey, maybe I should think about what I do next time'. Nope, you just went along as blithely as before, changing the Mojave with your actions, maybe never giving a thought as to how those actions play out. If Dead Money was about how being stuck in the past can hurt you, Old World Blues how an unchanging viewpoint can be dangerous, Honest Hearts a tale of redemption, Lonesome Road was about how you should consider your actions- remember, Ulysses constantly questions you about your allegiance or lack of it, about the why and how. It's way too easy in games to just as blithely walk around the place, going all manshoots around and toddling off- Ulysses is one way to remind the player that 'hey, you throw poo poo around, it makes a mighty stink'. It's one way to draw the player into the game world, to make him believe that all actions might affect said world like it realistically would. In the end, he wants vengeance on the Legion and NCR for simply existing while Hopeville got destroyed, he wants you to know that regardless of what happens it's your fault (as you should have realized long before), and finally he's simply angry, half-mad with grief and lashing out. He can't start somewhere else- he's not as influential as the Courier, and he doesn't know of anywhere else.

sector_corrector posted:I just bought Honest Hearts and Lonesome Road so that I can do a complete playthrough. The OP gives basic level ranges for the DLC, but can anyone point to something that makes the Ulysses story play out chronologically? I'd say Honest Hearts -> OWB -> Dead Money -> Lonesome Road should do it. Honest Hearts introduces you to the idea that there's another Courier, OWB goes a little more in-depth about him, and what kind of a badass he can be, Dead Money doesn't actually tell you much about him, but expands on some of the people he met as well as ties in to Dead Money, and Lonesome Road finishes everything off.
