Imagine your plan ruined because you've mess with the wrong delivery man.
>>683759153What kind of sick fuck shoots someone with a 9mm?
That guy died of a ketamine overdose
>>683759198what would you prefer
>>683759153The idea is that you're a nobody and irrelevant, but through a random improbable event you end up severely changing the entire setting. It's wrtitten like a TTRPG campaign.
>>683759153Should have aimed better. And, yes, he damn well could have.
>>683759210>That guy died of a ketamine overdoseNo, benny died because I shot him in the head.
>>683759350.45 if you want someone dead
>>683759523willing to stand in front of a 9mm?a well placed shot to the head will kill you, no guns. you don't have plot armor in real life
Do you NEED the stealth boy to take the shortcut to Vegas at level 1? I find the idea of the Courier waking up in Doc Mitchell's house, walking outside, and then instantly sprinting directly towards New Vegas through cazadors / deathclaws like the fucking Terminator in an attempt to reach Benny pretty funny
>>683760021People have survived having half their head blown off with a 12 gauge I'll tank 9 mil like a champ
>>683760161No, there's a better path through the ugly Super Mutant mountain that doesn't require a stealth boy. I find that kind of min-maxing a bit bland so I don't do it and like to play out storylines and quests to their full extent.
>>683760357you are not the protagonist
>>683759153The courier was making measly 1000 caps for that delivery.Benny could had easily said he was Mr.House employee, hand him the caps (1k caps is NOTHING to the guy) and walk with the chip.He was a fucking retard.Also why are we back to caps when Fallout 2 was using a real currency back then? I mean at least we should had used Paper Money from NCR instead. Anything other than caps would had been better, falling back to them was a Bethesda moment.
>>683760413We get it, you are a midwit who hates fun and needs hand holding.
>>683760431>Mr. House: Courier 6, what happened to the delivery?>Courier: This guy called Benny in a striped suit took it.>Mr House: Oh I guess I need to murder Benny then.He was covering his tracks, which seemed cold hearted but it's logical. He admits this isn't personal.
>>683760431>Also why are we back to caps when Fallout 2 was using a real currency back then? I mean at least we should had used Paper Money from NCR instead. Anything other than caps would had been better, falling back to them was a Bethesda moment.Bethesda requirement, which is because they have a specific formula for what Fallout should look like. There is some lore about a Brotherhood of Steel revenge attack against NCR Gold reserves, which made them radio-active so their money currency is no longer being accepted outside of NCR Territory.
>>683759153Speaking of 9mm, is there a mod to add a 45 ACP duplicate of the 9mm smg just for weapon and enemy variety? It's basically an M3 Grease Gun, which was mostly in 45 ACP, but was sometimes chambered in 9mm.
>>683760431A pro courier wouldn't hand over his delivery prematurely even if it was his employer's guy.
>>683760431Fallout New Vegas is actually very accommodating toward lore changes Fallout 3 introduced. At least it still featured the NCR dollars so it's not thrown away completely.
>>683760413Yeah I guess I'm the same which is why I've never taken any of the shortcuts to Vegas. The early game is my favourite partIt's still funny to me imagining the Courier going full Terminator mode though
Why didn't House just have a few securitrons escort you?
>>683759350he prefers being shot at with cum because hes a raging homosexual
>>683761037Too much attention I think. Or maybe that was some headcanon I heard
>>683760415butthurt 9mm fag detected
>>683761037>>683761242Yes, the plan was to have Victor keep an eye on you from a distance, and have 5 other Couriers with random shit because of the dangerous territory. But still, a squad of 5 Securitrons led by Victor would have done a better job and would have smoked any raiders or powder gangers that they came across.
>>683759153that's kind of the plot of snowcrash
>>683760357I've rented out my sloped skull to BMX bandits. I'm basically immune to bullets.
>>683760357You are not Trump.
>>683761728Snowcrash sucked, BTW
>>683759153What exactly was his plan anyways? Like, what did he think he was going to be able to pull off?
>>683760557Pretty sure if the courier had not make it to Vegas the prime suspect would had been Benny anyways.
>>683761906The yes man ending
>>683761906We see the extent of his plan if you let him live: he had stealth-boys and would don Legion gear to sneak into the place and activate it. Benny is somewhat capable - maria is a really solid 9mm handgun that you can clear the game with, but he's only a fraction as capable as the Courier. If he were to successfully activate the army and upgrade them, then Yes-Man would take care of everything else. He marries Emily Ortal and the rest is history.
>>683760764The man is not some UPS guy who would had asked for a digital signature.All Benny had to do was intercept the courier, paid him and skedaddle.Any charisma check would had done it.Not to mention Mr.House had Securitrons watching the area, reason why the courier was not left to bleed out.The question is why House did not have his guards kill Benny before he entered the strip.
1st playthrough anon here.Just killed this faggot, why on Earth would anyone support him?BoS FTW
>>683759350.22
>>683762265He's a pretty reasonable dude once you get to know him betterSo is CeasarOnly the NCR doesn't have a solid case going for them cause everyone you meet is a fuckup
>>683762265The fact that he wanted me to exterminate the BoS is what made me turn on him too, it made no sense and felt out of character.
>>683762473It makes complete sense>BoS wants to control all technology>House literally has an army of robotsBut it is dumb that you can't convince him to spare them if you help them out or join them, it makes the option to become a member of the BoS completely pointless.
>9mmWhy did he do it bros?
>>683759198the kind that wants to blow someone's lungs out of their body. 9mm reduces people to paste and victims of mass shooting can only be identified by dna
>>683759350For me, it's the 12 gauge slug
>>683762265>1st playthrough anon hereYou’re going to get spoiled by asking that question but since you’ve asked it I’ll assume you’re aware of that.Although he has some pretty serious flaws he’s without a doubt one of the best options. His plan is ambitious and if it’s successful it would be just as magnificent and grand as he says it would be. He’s trustworthy and won’t fuck with you or fuck you over, he’s aware just how important you are and incredibly grateful for your help, you’d spend the rest of your life in luxury whilst helping him carry out his plan. There’s also the fact that despite being a bit incompetent he is undeniably an extremely talented and intelligent individual, if anyone could carry out his plan it’s him. Another thing is that NCR losing the Mojave isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it would ensure they don’t spread themselves so thin again in the future and curb their expansion-boner for quite some time. I usually don’t side with him as his flaws are too serious for me to ignore but I can see why people do side with him
>>683759350For me, it’s the .454 casull
>>683761932Benny didn't think so. Mr house even said that "Benny doesn't know that I know"
>>683762196If he let the courier live there Is always the chance word gets back to house.House has to let Benny live so he can make sure he has the chip and didn't stash it somewhere before he returned to the strip.
>>683762757I remember reading a long ass time ago they were going to initially give you the option of having BoS join house through diplomacy shit, but they later removed it because they wanted to give people a real solid reason/hard decision to side with house or not
>>683759350>Not using .30-06This is why NATO was a mistake.
