khwarezm posted:So I was a little confused by Ulysses' relationship with the Legion, on one hand he seems to consider them superior or at least more durable than NCR, and has a large degree of loyalty towards its ideals and leaders, while at the same time showing practically no regret at his actions as a frumentarii, and yet he seems to be really resentful about their treatment of the his tribe and history in general while barely batting an eye at you nuking one of their camps. I played an NCR favoring independent run so does he have a different reaction if you have good relations with the Legion? It all just seems a bit contradictory. What I got out of it was while Ulysses never liked the Legion's methods, the fact that their overall was goal getting all of America under one banner again was enough to get him to work with them. But when he found the Divide, he thought he no longer needed the Legion to accomplish this so he abandoned them. One thing I want to know about Ulysses's time with the Legion: how in hell did he get away with keeping his dreads? That was the main symbol of the Twisted Hairs, and Caesar makes sure all symbols of concurred tribes get annihilated, to the point where tattoo's get burned off with acid and forced breeding with once rival tribes. He couldn't have gone back to dreads after abandoning the Legion either because when he ran with the White Legs they copied his hairstyle to his dismay, so why did Ulysses get to be an exception?

Yeah on the plus side you can gently caress around with all of the guns and ammo types and poo poo coming out tomorrow.

As it turns out my favorite thing about GRA is .50 Explosive rounds. I took my modded ARM and 1200 Caps worth of them (a whopping 48 rounds!!!!) to that Deathclaw nest with the T-51b and Remnants Armor, and with one Sneak Crit I killed 1 Deathclaw, 2 Young Deathclaws and badly wounded a Deathclaw Mother because they were all bunched together.

ClearAirTurbulence posted:That appears to be the opinion of Cass. I was a bit put off by her homophobic remarks about the Legion. Not that the Legion isn't evil, but of all the things to make fun of them for, their skirts and rumors that they have gay sex seems a bit odd, especially for a bisexual character. In fact, is Cass the only person in the game who says anything disparaging about gays? I know Major Knight says the NCR doesn't approve of homosexuality, but I don't think here's any NCR characters who actually give voice to that. Well to be fair Cass is only bi after the 7th bottle of Whiskey.

Roman posted:I managed to clear everyone out. For me it was Hugging the left side and dealing with the Marked Men first, all chemmed up with a riot shotty + Shotgun Surgeon + And Stay Back. Then I stayed on the left side and took out all the deathclaws from afar with a fully upgraded GRA Anti-Material Rifle and Explosive rounds, which are a wonderful thing btw. I just used a fully upgraded SMMG and A Light Shining in Darkness. That poo poo works wonders against Deathclaws and popping Marked Men's head with the .45 works great as well.

That gun was what prompted me to bind weapon repair kits to a number key, you can go through one or two after every decent-sized firefight. This is the exact same deal with Christine's COS Rifle. Every time you fire a hand loaded round it takes of a noticeable chunk of the condition.

Astfgl posted:Isn't the problem, though, that of the however-many vaults there are, only a small small fraction of them were "control" vaults and all the rest were designed to open early, break down, or prey on their inhabitants? And weren't the control vaults programmed to open after like 200 years or something, a threshold that already came and went? Which, if memory serves, is how we got the NCR? Not all control Vaults had to be opened. Vault 3 was fine until a few years before the events of New Vegas, when an unexpected breakdown happened and they started to get flooded so they went to get help and the first people they run into are Motor-Head and the fiends. Also I don't think Vault City had much to do with NCR but I honestly can't remember right now. Orange Crush Rush fucked around with this message at 21:42 on Oct 5, 2011 |

Omnicarus posted:So you make a vault where the test was how long you could keep people in a state of war and obedient through fear. The overseer and staff convinces the inhabitants that the outside world is a radioactive hellhole filled only with rapist cannibals that swarmed and devoured the other vaults, so vault [insert] has been entirely militarized since shortly after it was closed. When the player cracks the front door he's breaching their walls. Convinced they're going to be devoured by ravenous ghouls, the inhabitants start a blind, ruthless crusade to purify the lands surrounding the vault and resettle them solely with vault dwellers. Sure the PC could tell them they should just stay put and not start a blind crusade to purge everything in sight, but if the PC lets them then they give the PC a really kick rear end gun. These are the Hard Decisions of the Fallout Universe.

It's funny because as far as terrible things happening to you in the DLC's, Ulysses was the one that pointed Elijah to the Sierra Madre, was the one that taught the White Legs how to use their guns and how to maintain them as well as basic military tactics, and was the one that convinced the Think-Tank they need to brain wash everyone that comes to Big MT.

Knuc If U Buck posted:You can serve Caesar without pissing off the NCR for the most part. As long as your use sneak kills etc, I think you can do most Legion Quests w/out even losing infamy. There's a certain point in Legion's main quest line where you automatically get branded a Terrorist by the NCR and everyone in NCR will shoot at you on sight. Going back to the whole vehicle thing, don't forget NCR also has Trains that are running, the reason why the NCRCF Prisoners were given dynamite so they could fix up the rail lines.

Grinning Goblin posted:I think that was the "official" explanation. Which I don't buy at all because after using IIWR and later on, OFT, I never had a Deathclaw wander south of that area. There is actually a pretty big buffer in that area too, which makes me think that may have come later in the development cycle and they just kept the walls in. Makes me wonder why those Khans in that area never got killed. What didn't you hear of the NCR reports of Khans training them and becoming the Masters of the Deathclaws?

rope kid posted:Yeah, ricocheting Timed Mini Nukes is really handy. If you do manage to hit a target with it en route, it will majorly gently caress up most enemies, usually killing it and shearing a limb off. It will occasionally result in a terrible bounce, though, especially if it hits a torso and just flies straight back at you. Yeah I learned this the hard way. I bought Esther and thought "well time to show all those uppity irradiated bitches in Courier's Mile what-for." And I did. Along with myself. Many, many tines. edit: one thing I don't understand about the DLC's is that not only do the enemies scale with you at all times so you always get high XP from killing them, but that XP you get from completing quests also scales with at all times. So no matter what you are walking out of the DLC story with at least 5 levels under your belt. Orange Crush Rush fucked around with this message at 05:12 on Oct 10, 2011 |

Eiba posted:
Lonesome Road poo poo: He kind actually does tell you why he fell in love with the Divide so much (although not directly, you have to read between the lines here), it was because it was a small community in a harsh land that still managed to grow and thrive, with no help at all from either Legion or NCR. Also because it was all on a Military base, Old World America flags were everywhere and that convinced him this could be the next America. Remember, Ulysses had no real love for the Legion, he just ran with them because for one Vulpes would have had him killed otherwise, but mostly because Legion's overall goal was to erase everything but the Legion, and have all of America under one sign again. No NCR, no BoS, Enclave, Kings, Vipers, Jackals, Scorpions, whatever. Just one "tribe" to make America whole again. He made it in the Frumentarri (normally reserved for the more fanatical members of the Legion) because, he just happened to be very very good at what he does. Then Ulysses saw this poo poo hole grow into a thriving town from almost nothing, with no help from NCR or Legion or any gangs, decorated with the sign that brought all of the Old America together as one. It was perfect. This showed him he didn't need the Legion to acomplish what he always wanted to do, bring back Good ol' USA. And then the NCR showed up... then the Legion showed up because the NCR did... then the Courier showed up with a busted up ED-E in a box and a few days later poo poo goes boom.

So I'm just about to do Lonesome on an different character, but a quick question (gonna spoil this just in case, but really it's nothing too major): did anyone figure how exactly the DLC says what side you are fighting for? Right before I went in Arcade seemed to think I was fighting for NCR, which is weird because I'm doing Independent, planted the Override Chip and all I have to do is tell Yes Man the word Go and it's Hoover Dam time. For reference, I'm Idolized by the Strip, a Good Natured Rascal to the NCR and a Merciful Thug to the Legion. I did get far enough in the NCR quest line to get an alliance between them and the BoS though.

Umm no they don't, everyone the Strip knows he's dead because the Securtrons start handing out his Obituary.
