"Of course I know what I'm doing! I just don't know what effect it's gonna have." Ahh... That dude is just Fantastic.
I didn't think that was a real line until I started playing last month and of course that clown would be the one to say it.
Part of good writing is being able to have characters say things that match their personality. This is quintessential Cass.
I want some advice, I started a new playthrough, and the furthest I got before this one was going into caesar's camp or something dressed as one of his legion, but when I returned to the friendly faction, I left the armour on by mistake and they turned on me, and I lost my save.
I haven't got a companion yet, but I'm about to fix ED-E. What happens if I try something similar, and try to dress up like a normally enemy faction and go to their base with a companion (ED-E or other)? I'm trying to do a speech/int run , how should I manage my companions so they only shoot when I start to get into combat, or I am sneaking around or walking around in costume?
As far as I remember, your companions will only attack if the npcs are hostile with the exception of boon. Boon will always shoot legion on sight. You can have some decision over their actions though by talking to them.
As for the armor it does matter when and where you have it on. Again my memory may be foggy but factions can be peaceful or aggro depending on what you are wearing. You can even go into a camp with hostiles if you have their faction armor on.
Take all of this with a grain of salt though, it's been a long time and I did play with and without mods.
Hello, I am the apostrophe police. Please register with the executioner for your execution first thing tomorrow morning.
As the Honorable Apostophe Judge in charge of this district, the apostrophes displayed in this meme are accurate: the first being the possessive of "nobody", and the second being a contraction of "dick is". The accused is thus declared not guilty.
We are the American apostrophe police, please register for your execution first thing tomorrow for correcting me.
I lost my grammar policing job due to questionable use of force, inaccurate reports, and comma smuggling. I am now powerless to stop grammar crimes.
I noticed you license your comments here, do you really think that stops llm scrapers? I have more or less resigned to the fact that anything I write or post here is in the public domain and on the internet essentially forever.
Same energy as the boomers posting those crazy "Facebook is not allowed to use my stuff!" posts on FB. Some people never learn.
It's actual purpose is to infuriate lemmy users. I don't think I've ever seen a comment with that signature included that doesn't have at least one reply from someone telling them it doesn't work. It's pretty funny.
It's "harmless" in the sense that ads are "harmless" which is to say it's a deliberate waste of my time, and thus vile.

That doesn't actually take much to do. Especially the talentless hacks calling themselves "artists"
In order to make it really work you have to, print off the comment, write NO COMMERCIAL LICENSE in green ink to 45° angle, then upload the picture of the comment with the sign on it.
Otherwise it doesn't count.
Well AI needs our data. It's this or it starts sending robots back in time.
I prefer it to have my random anonymous comments.
It's been years since I played New Vegas, but I feel like you can get this dialog not long after you first pick up Cass as a companion. I believe the dick in question is that of the NCR, which has overextended itself in the Mojave and is struggling to secure its territory.
Thanks for the explanation! Never played New Vegas. The reviews said it was terrible, but maybe after a few updates it was OK?
What fuckin reviews you reading? Its literally the best one.
Overwhelmingly positive 96% approval on over a 100k reviews.

It was released in 2012 or something. Back then it wasn't greeted with such positivity and I hadn't checked since.
The reviews do look pretty positive now.
You're right. Obsidian had a very tight timeframe for developing this game and it was a buggy mess when it released. as is anything based on the creation Gamebryo (creation is skyrim onwards and is based on gamebryo) engine.
Once it was polished up a bit though it was recognized for the genre defining game it is
I've never really understood the hyper around NV but admittedly my memory could be tainted by time.
I loved Fallout 1 & 2 and when Fallout 3 dropped I was delighted to get 1st person modern graphics in the world I loved. Then NV came along and the novelty of the new perspective and graphics had worn off, and there were these 2 new groups I really didn't enjoy. Take me back to simpler times of raiders and brotherhood. Then Fallout 4 came out and I was happy once more...back in the world I loved with fresher graphics.
But nothing can replace 1 & 2 for me.
I would definitely recommend giving it a try.
A number of devs from Interplay (developers of the first two Fallout games before Bethesda acquired the license) moved to Obsidian and worked on New Vegas. Many long-time fans of the series consider it to be the best of the series after the transition to 3d first person, if not the best in the series, period.
A lot of the negative reviews were tied to the very buggy state the game released in. I've heard rumors that Obsidian asked for more QA time but was forced by the publisher to rush it to release. Given that Obsidian had a bounty reward if they hit a certain Metacritic score and they missed it by one point, I'm inclined to believe that rumor.
Personally, I think Fallout 4 has better gunplay, but New Vegas is much better at being an RPG with guns in it, rather than a shooter with RPG elements tacked on. It's gotten a ton of polish since release, and there are years of community mods and patches to further smooth out the rough edges.

Thanks, that's what stuck with me and I hadn't checked since. I'll give a go. Thanks.
...why are you so triggered? That's such cringey right-wing thing to do.
Lol I see no reason to continue engaging with you after this. Your cringey licensing, the use of the word "triggered," even bringing politics into this for some reason (really? Lol) tells me more than enough about you than I really care to know. Have a nice day!
