prometheusbound2 posted:I think the Liberty Prime ending kind of highlights the difference between the two fanbases pretty well. To some it was an awesome cinematic conclusion; to others a linear and barely interactive pointless slog. Liberty Prime was cool, but it should have been off in the background wrecking poo poo while you actually had to unholster your gun and fight your way up to the end. And not have the dumbass ending of killing yourself in the purifier while surrounded by people who could do the same thing without being harmed.

I could see House issuing Mojave cap scrip or maybe even each casino issuing their own, with physical caps only being used for the smallest transactions. I'm willing to concede the point though. Uh... you mean like the casino chips you can trade for caps? It's just  that you're so hung up on the cap issue when you don't pay enough attention to the game to notice that an obviously active research facility is active or that the casinos do issue their own currency.As rope kid said, not everyone is the Courier, walking around with tens of thousands of caps. The average Mojave dweller likely relies on barter, using small amounts of caps to even out trades. ~100 caps is probably plenty for the average person to keep around, and that few caps can easily be kept in a small pocket or whatever. It would take up a lot of resources to build a mint, so people would probably rather use those resources to build something useful and just continue using caps for the time being.

Kharmakazy posted:I don't think it's fair to say that chips are currency. At best they are casino gift cards redeemable for caps. You can sell chille's gift cards, but you can't buy a car with them. Fair enough. It would have made more sense to just have a generic New Vegas chip used as a common currency in/around New Vegas, rather than each casino having their own, especially as the qualities that made bottlecaps a decent post-apocalyptic currency(light weight, durable, fairly plentiful but still a limited quantity, hard to counterfeit) would also apply to casino chips in the ruins of Vegas.
