I like the way you think. :) Who said centurions had to only use human enemies to make their armor? Robot and animal parts work just as well! You just gotta get creative!

Bethesda/Obsidian BoS. Bear in mind that my only experience with the Fallout games is through New Vegas. I've never played any of the others. I was a kid when the Interplay Fallouts were new but wasn't even aware of them.

1. If you think blue laws or the Codex ever had a rationale or any validity to them, I have a few defunct casinos in Atlantic City to sell you. They were ALWAYS mindless and inane no matter what time period or society it is. The morons behind them had a clear case of head-up-the-ass syndrome...

@NMLevesque I went into the cave before doing Crazy, Crazy, Crazy, and the Nightkin were definitely there. I didn't use the Paladin Toaster at all, though, because almost immediately after I left the cave, I started Dead Money. After finishing that add-on, it was straight off to do Honest...

Those blue laws and the Chain That Binds were ALWAYS irrational and NEVER had any reason at any point. Ditto the Codex's rules about hoarding technology and keeping it away from everyone else. It clearly hasn't worked, as we can see with the Van Graffs and Big Mountain. The White Legs managed...

Arcade: I first had him stay with the Followers. Nowadays, I have him join the Remnants every time. The Remnants can't fight if they're injured or dead, and Arcade has kicked his share of ass at my Courier's side. Boone: Most of the time, I make him repentant for Bitter Springs. Two...

The Mojave BoS is failing as it currently is. And Veronica can't be the only one who'd like to see them wise up and ditch their "Let's hoard all the Pre-War tech for ourselves!" mentality. She did everybody a favor by questioning their Codex. The assholes who wrote it are not infallible...

Daniel was originally supposed to be Asian to avoid the "white savior" trope, according to J.E. Sawyer. There's a lore fix for Honest Hearts that fixes this. "As a minor point, Daniel was specifically supposed to be (and was, in data, for most of development) Asian. I don’t know when, how, or...

You forget that like Caesar, McNamara/Hardin won't be around forever. Eventually, someone else will come along and replace either of them as Elder. And that new lizard might be more open to working with outsiders than the last one was.

Are you role-playing as an evil/psycho character? Either way, you at least killed a bunch of rapists and murderers so you did the Mojave a favor. Pretty Sarah and Corporal Betsy will both certainly sleep easier at night knowing Cook-Cook is now worm food. I've done the Fiend bounty quests with...

In my head-canon, McNamara (or Hardin, if I ousted him) does. Partly out of respect for a new member, partly out of respect for Veronica (since I also had her in my party at Hoover Dam), and partly out of fear of having his shit wrecked by Boomers, Remnants, Securitrons, and maybe an ex-Fiend or...

Throwing dogs onto bonfires? Lanius is fucking cruel to animals! He's not "tribal". He's just an asshole. The Dead Horses and Sorrows have more class than him. They don't go around setting dogs on fire, enslaving people, or lashing anyone to crosses. The Fiend leaders are definitely psycho...

Let's not forget that Veronica also said that McNamara is one of the Brotherhood's more progressive members. If you ally him and the NCR, he tells you that the Brotherhood has given up its claims to HELIOS and has no interest in Hoover Dam.

I've boned up on dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and other paleofauna since I was a little kid. I didn't settle for the kiddie shit. Fuck no, I went for the good stuff (as good as our knowledge was in the '90s). I even schooled my classmates on this stuff in third grade, and even back then I had...

I always max out Luck AND Intelligence no matter my play style. If you're going to do Dead Money, you WANT high Luck. I max it out to be sure I can win big at blackjack. 7,500 chips later, I'll go collect my comps. Those complimentary vouchers for 1,000 free chips spawn in the little safe in the...

I'm a bit of a retro gamer, but I've never had that big of a collection. Mine is curative--games that I KNOW I'll play. I started out with a Sega Genesis (MegaDrive for those living in Japan, South Korea, and PAL/SECAM countries). Then I got a Nintendo 64 almost immediately after it launched...

Reboots aren't new. They've been around for ages, longer than you'd think. Shakespeare rebooted Romeus & Juliet as Romeo & Juliet, and did the same stuff with other people's plays. The Warriors was a reboot of Xenophon's Anabasis. The Flintstones was effectively a reboot of The Honeymooners...

You know how the proton axes do EMP damage against robots and power armor, and how they have those glowing blades? I got an idea: Proton spears, thrown and otherwise, that do the same thing! Could you imagine some Legionary, raider, or tribal ripping the shit out of someone in fucking power...

And now a new armor mod has joined my head canon: Link's Barbarian Armor. Anything CobraCommander/YanL makes is The Tops (no pun intended).

@NMLevesque That cave is also where you get the Paladin Toaster, IIRC. And you don't even really have to do Crazy, Crazy, Crazy to access it. I've stumbled upon it once when traveling from Goodsprings right to the abandoned BoS bunker to start Dead Money. I had ground to get my character at the...
