Chinese stereotypes make up a solid half of San Francisco and scientology makes up its other half, also a lack of quality quests.
I don't know how to say this, but while I love New Reno, many locations in Fallout 1 are becoming more and more my favourites. I prefer the Hub over New Reno.
Reno definitely suffers from being a big Godfather/Goodfellas/whatevermobstermovie reference, I always felt as though the Hub had more substance.
It's also more subtle, and felt more...real?
I don't really mind the stereotypes or the scientology stuff.
I guess it helps that the conflict is a result of a situation that could take place in a post-apocalyptic setting (greed, control and water) rather than one based on mobster fiction.
True, not to forget that the town itself had a reason to exist and that it worked well in the post apocalypse.
Not Vault Dwellers. Just them and it's still similar to what the Nazis wanted: Purging an entire race (or group to be prescise). Only one Enclave character ever grows a conscious and it takes effort to even convince him to grow a conscious. The rest are comically evil villains that are highly exaggerated.
You do realise that the Unity may have actually succeeded if it was not for the Vault Dweller? A vast mutant army armed with military grade weapons, each at peak condition (even if some were stupid). Those numbers alone would wipe out any community in that time period.
He does not exist. Do you mean these folks, Granite and the EC company? Fact-check before you spout fallacies.(http://fallout.gamepedia.com/Granite + http://fallout.gamepedia.com/Enclave_Control_Company)
They threaten to kill you after that. How is that properly humanizing? All it does it make them seem more willing to devolve into angrish or indicates that many of them are inclined towards homicide.
I acknowledged that. My point is that you were trying to sell the Unity short so that you could make the Enclave look good in comparison. Don't do that since any of us can throw a wrench in that argument instantly.
He is and is not at the same time. He is the kind of manipulative preacher one can actually encounter in real life, one who spouts nonsense that people take faith in and believe to the point of fanaticism. He's still not as comical when compared to Dick Richardson, Schreber or Fallout 3's President Eden.
They rebel because if they don't they'll blow up, not exactly a deep character arch.
That means absolutely nothing. I'm sure James Bond has had some fine conversations with henchmen himself, doesn't make the characters any less cartoonishly evil.
But to them everyone that left the vaults is a mutant. That's the problem with their logic, and when you highlight it to a scientist he instantly sees how pointless the whole endeavour has been.
That's not really how the Americans killed the Indians, it was more about handing out dirty blankets and burning huts, but whatever.
The first time you see the Enclave they shoot innocent people waving at them.
Don't be a prick. He got a name wrong, get over it.
At Gecko? You haven't really interacted with the Enclave at that point.
I'd post that gif of the hispanic (?) man pulling his hair out again, but I'm too lazy.
You're remembering it wrong. That conversation has nothing to do with blowing them up since that call was at Gecko, long before you even reach their Oil Rig. It was essentially a prank call that ends with them threatening to trace the call and kill you over a perceived insult. In the Restoration Mod, it actually results in a hostile Enclave encounter .
You clearly did not understand Marcus then or never bothered to play New Vegas properly. The Unity was an evil faction but it was trying to find a way to ensure survival in the Wasteland. The Enclave wanted to wipe it all out.
He's a brainwashed loon who also adheres to the Enclave's plans of genocide without ever questioning them about it. He is plainly obvious about being evil.
You're right and fair point, that was a disproportionate response on my part. I should focusing on how much he misunderstood Marcus instead.
No, you clearly said "You can even have a funny conversation with them at the Power Plant" in the same line. I pointed out that the conversation still ends with the soldiers threatening to kill you for a perceived insult.
With what? Inbreds and people unsuited to life in the Wastes? At least the Unity knew what they were doing despite the fatal flaw in their plan.
Dudes who clearly do not understand life out in the Wastes and are mostly close-minded.
But if you try to argue against the merits of his plans, he, in essence, plugs his ears while silently calls the guards to kill you. It's not ruthless extremism, it's the approach of a typical James Bond villain. The Master at least is wiling to listen and actually listens if you bring him evidence.
