Fallout Series Thread V14: When i entered this thread i was hoping there would be more gambling - Games

[QUOTE=Cone;42540434]weren't they basically just regular merchant/adventurer dudes who sometimes got hired for that stuff though, if they needed the money? as far as i know the only people arranging and taking part in the actual raiding and stealing would be nobles and their men[/QUOTE] in a medieval society you are a noble or a nobles subordinate.

[QUOTE=Falchion;42540522]in a medieval society you are a noble or a nobles subordinate.[/QUOTE] Vikings were on the outskirts. Alot of them were just independent mercenaries and raiders. The Eastern Roman Empire even had Vikings as the Emperors personal guard.

[QUOTE=Rangergxi;42543809]Vikings were on the outskirts. Alot of them were just independent mercenaries and raiders. The Eastern Roman Empire even had Vikings as the Emperors personal guard.[/QUOTE] The society was still an aristocracy and the socially influential people were better protected by laws, i dont think vikings in bysantium changes that. social mobility was pretty good but people were still either a jarl, a freeman or a thrall.

[QUOTE=TorrentR;42539379]Eh, I always go with NCR because unicycle robits aren't just that interesting. The Caesar's Legion isn't a Viking faction which just makes them boring. I kinda like those duster dude guys with gasmasks and bigass revolvers.[/QUOTE] Basing factions on their generic troops wow

[QUOTE=Lijitsu;42544041]It's a lot better than what the Romans did. There's a reason that paddles are part of the stereotypical hazing ritual in fraternities...[/QUOTE] The only reason Roman executions were better is that they used Myspace, so it wasn't so embarrassing.

[QUOTE=cdr248;42544117]Basing factions on their generic troops wow[/QUOTE] Because three out of four faction endings are just the same grey "yup people are happy i guess but then there's some people who just suffer regardless of what you did heugh" endings. There's not much difference between the NCR, Indie and House endings if you're nice to people I guess.

Tbh none of the faction endings are good. That doesn't mean you can't judge factions based off the their quests and their actions during the actual game.

i like companions anyone else like companions? i like having them wreck everything for me the moment they show up i also like their comments on everything veronica's the best i just wish there was at least one companion per big faction

Companions are likeable because they have personality, their topics constantly change depending on what you do, they approach you, the player, at certain points in the game, etc. Too bad this kind of greatness is not in FO3 or Skyrim

There's a few mods for Fallout 3 that alleviate that issue. There's one that adds some depth to Charon and another that turns Sydney into a NV-esque companion with her own things to say.

i'm thinking of making a character that uses only automatic weapons at some point in the future what automatic weapons are there? and i mean full-auto i'm already thinking of getting FIDO, the SMMG, and the Sprtel Wood 9700

Companions like Fawkes or RL-3 were pretty colorful, others were sort of meh. Most of the followers in Skyrim were pretty lifeless though. It was mostly the followers who came from quests like J'Zargo or Serana that are likeable considering they had more background and had better personalities. New Vegas was the one to hit the nail on the head though with companions.

[QUOTE=ElectricSquid;42547231]"boo the ending wasn't a black-and-white happy-ever-after for all parties involved"[/QUOTE] I think he just means that the endings were too general and were all really boring.

[QUOTE=Drury;42544016]Dude [url]http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_did_vikings_execute_people[/url] This is NOT something bro-tier guys would do.[/QUOTE] Let me ask you this, sonny: Would you rather die in the heat of battle knowing you did your part and eternal glory with your dead comrades and bitches by the hour along with all the food you can eat and beer you can drink await you (along with more combat) or (in comparison to the Romans here) Would you rather be fed to a lion because of your religion or fight some juiced up hulk while being forced to salute an emperor you don't give a shit about? OR (in comparison to Caesar's Legion) Would you rather be crucified and left to starve to death or die of dehydration?

just how much c-4 would i need to blow up everyone in caesar's tent

[QUOTE=ElectricSquid;42547231]"boo the ending wasn't a black-and-white happy-ever-after for all parties involved"[/QUOTE] Well I didn't mean that I wanted a Fallout 3-style boring ass black and white ending. I actually hated Fallout 3 for being so damn black and white. It's just that the three endings aren't much different from each other if you're nice to people, so it doesn't really matter which side you choose.

[QUOTE=El Fonz0;42551246]just how much c-4 would i need to blow up everyone in caesar's tent[/QUOTE] I would say about 2 or 3 satchels.

[QUOTE=Original User;42551785]I would say about 2 or 3 satchels.[/QUOTE] oh i used six when I blew them up, some of them literally went up their bodies weren't there anymore they went past the play area

There's not much difference between the NCR, Indie and House endings if you're nice to people I guess.[/QUOTE] There is a difference actually. It shapes the future of Vegas to come. NCR? - 'Democratic' MUH FREEDOMS spew where people get the snot taxed out of them and if you don't wanna give up your house we'll force you out yeehaw House? - Dictatorship ran by an unseen hand, with you as said hand's go-for bitchpuppy. Don't follow the rules? HOMICIDE DETECTED!!!! Independent - Free, liberal Vegas run how your Courier would rule. Either as a tyrannical despot, a libertarian 'fuck this im goin legion fishing' guy, or as Mr. House MK2.

The House Always Wins

I'm currently around level ten, using food and such to keep me alive my companions are Veronica, Cass, Arcade w/Q-35, and Benny, might get Raul before when going to get Annabelle missile launcher on a scale of 1 to complete butt devastation, how fucked in the ass am i? note: i had encountered a group of four deathclaws on the road that required two mini-nukes fired from esther and archimedes ii to eventually kill all of them
