I think I hate respawning enemies in general. I'm like, I just made the effort to clear this room, stop springing more rear end in a top hat ghouls right in my face :colbert:

I vaguely recall someone in-game saying Nephi was a New Canaanite who made it all the way to Vegas and became a crazy person. Or maybe I invented that in my head.

Weird, I've never had any particular issue with Vampire. Just installed whatever version of the Wesp patch was out at the time (it's possible it's been altered and broken since then. Wesp does that) and off we went

Ha, doing yet another run and was enjoying the novelty of keeping the Legion at least neutral so I didn't have assassins on my rear end every waking hour. Boone ended that one in a hurry as soon as I recruited him. Whoops.

Also talking to the cloaked Nightkin at Novac is pretty great. I assume he has commentary for all of the party members? Got him to say stuff about Boone and ED-E.

Kind of annoying since you can certainly do it the other way, like killing Caesar and then telling Joshua about it. Or killing House and then telling Dr. 0 about it (he is happy).

Yeah, I admittedly never quite got the logic of Caesar rolling with Lanius as a successor, unless it was just a thing where no one else in the Legion was possibly going to beat that guy in an inevitable duel to the death for the throne. And he was probably too useful as a killbot for Caesar to chuck him off of a cliff.

Even with the content restore mod I was always so confused by KOTOR2. Like, Kreia would make some veiled threat and fry Bao-Dur. I'd go to the ship, Bao-Dur would be fine. I'd get a cutscene where HK got annoyed with T3 and shot him. T3 would have no ill effects. Never knew if this was the mod putting in lost scenes at random or what.

DeathChicken

Right I got that part, but these scenes came out of nowhere and then were never acknowledged again. You'd think your party members being electrocuted and shot would have ramification, but as soon as you returned to the ship it was like nothing had happened.

It would be like if you were playing New Vegas and suddenly got a cutscene at the Lucky 38 where Veronica beat the gently caress out of Cass. So you fast travel back there and both of them are giving their little quips, everything is fine.

Man, I forgot that I really don't like the vaults with screwy layouts like Vault 22 (although at least that doesn't constantly radiate you like a certain other screwy layout vault). I don't appreciate knowing where the exit is and having to backtrack all the way across the vault because I ran into a cave in :bahgawd:

On a different note, I recently took my Hammerhead/Flattop mafia character up to the point where you can side with the Omertas, since it seemed narratively fitting and I don't think I've done it before. They...uh, really didn't think this plan through, did they? "Yeah, let's gas everyone on the Strip to death at Caesar's behest! Then we can take over...uh, the city in which we just murdered all of our gambling profits. And we just betrayed our employer for a guy with a psychotic fixation on wiping out tribes just like us. Good call!"

I'm thinking the best option is to just get House to send in his robbits to kill Sal and Nero, since even if I want to keep the Omertas around, they're doomed with those two at the helm

It's the one Barter check he gives you when you're negotiating over his booby trapped chair that decides everything. If you call him out on that, he will decide from then out that he hates you (his dialogue actually changes *just* based on this, like when you're wandering around with him, he makes snide comments about you). Not calling him out on the trap means he'll cheerfully decide you're his best friend and he'd be happy to elaborate on what a scumbag he is.

I'm usually willing to roll along with House until he demands I go massacre the Brotherhood and reacts to "No thanks" with a screaming fit.
