Easy: Those people weren't really people. Genocide isn't exactly unknown even pre-apocalypse.

If you're gonna pull the "strategic withdrawal" semantics bullshit, there's really no reason to continue this discussion.

I don't have to see a drug dealer to know that drug dealers exist in my neighborhood. I don't even have to ask anybody if there are drug dealers to recognize them. I don't have to see someone break into your home to recognize a suspicious character after you reported your home broken into...

Ask the average American why the rest of the world kinda hates us and he'll be hard-pressed to mention the millions dead in Vietnam, the hundreds of thousands dead in the Middle East, and the ridiculous number of "skirmishes" perpetrated by the US military in Latin America, Africa and the...

They invaded another country, and were pushed out. They lost.

I also got bored with Fly With Me, mainly because it was a lot of time going back and forth between Novac and the REPCONN facility, when I wanted to go wander off somewhere else. And I like how you think, chronicler.

Look at your own neighborhood: Rumors, hearsay, intuition and snap judgments abound. We live in a world where we make decisions based on evidence that may not be admissible in a court of law. Sometimes you don't need to catch the guy red-handed or dust the area for fingerprints to know that...

The Afghans, fighting with second-hand weapons provided by the PRC with American money against the USSR - a world superpower - prevailed. The Vietnamese, fighting with second-hand weapons provided by the PRC against the US of A - a world superpower - prevailed. Why? Because conducting a...

What skill/perk is there even left to get after level 30? You're so hilariously overpowered by that point that there's no point in further progression.

Eh. I'm not in love with isometric views and turn-based combat. Those are merely vessels within which I experience the game. I am, however, in love with localized notoriety, black humor and non-combat resolutions. These aspects I consider the meat of the game. However which way I am...

Then vote with your wallet. It's clear to these commercially successful companies that customers really don't consider bugs a big problem.

To be fair, however, most of the philosophers and great thinkers died along with everybody else, so the only real thing Caesar has to go on are a few pre-war books. So, in that stead, he really IS like a college sophomore playing god-king.

Yeah, the problem with Hitler was that he was a piss-poor tactician, no? In all seriousness, tho, I agree with you: As an "evil" faction, they could have fleshed out the Legion a lot more.

Indeed. Hacking his computer achieves the same effect. The whole "technical pacifist" thing I think is fine if you have to stomp a few cazadors on the way: They're not human (or ghoul or supermutant). And hey, the "bring me this guy's head" quests usually gave you the option of going to...

You're right. Let's not apply 20th century ethics in the 22nd century. Let's apply second century ethics in the 22nd century. That makes much more sense.

Yes. That same argument was used in the antebellum South.

While technical advantage alone doesn't necessarily win wars, I'd still much rather be on the side with the machine guns. After all, if men are no object, you can always make your opponent pay more than they're willing to. But I wouldn't want to fight in that army. After all, the Chechens...

Tell me about it. First playthrough I never even entered Westside or North Vegas.

Who cares a whit about the engine?

Well, the factions of Fallout 3 made NO sense. The factions of Fallout New Vegas make internal sense. Not that you'd want to live under them.
