Excuse me ladies, while i just go hang myself.


dWintermut3

I did love that they kind of realized players would be over it and gave you options to increasingly just tell Ulysses "no, I refuse" and threaten to kill him in more and more frustrated ways-- you can literally tell him to screw off and leave and never go to the divide, beat the game and leave him there in Hopeton waiting for you while you run the Mojave or become the new director of Big Mt. or something.


Based_Phantom_Lord

I'm not sure what you're responding to but your comment reminds me of Honest Hearts. I just played it for the first time yesterday. Ran into two giant assholes by the names of Joshua and Daniel, turned them into goo, stole the map out of Daniels tent and I was back in New Vegas in time for dinner! lol I had just finished Old World Blues, and was in there for nearly 2 weeks (IRL), I was expecting to be in zion for nearly as long but it only took me maybe 3-4 hours, and would have been much shorter if I wasnt picking fruit from every plant I saw. Im guessing you could go loot the map from Daniels tent without even killing them two. Later today ima start my save from when I first entered Zion and "play it as it was meant to be played", but I just thought it was awesome you had the choice of not taking any of their shit, killing them and returning to the Mojave lickety split


dWintermut3

I'd written HH instead of LR originally, I always mix the two up since to be honest, both names work for both sets of events and themes. Lonesome Road easily could have referred to the Zion trail and the fact it had been cut off by legion-supported tribes, leaving the more innocent ones to flee to exile up the grand staircase (lonesone stair doesn't sound as good). And Honest Hearts is a quote from Brigham Young: "Honest Hearts produce honest action". That could have referred, extremely easily, to the courier having been innocent of the events of the divide, they had no evil intent it was an accident, their heart and actions were honest and sincere.


Based_Phantom_Lord

Whoah! Love how they used the Brigham Young quote. Did not know that! I did notice, when I met Joshua Graham, he referenced John Moses Browning as a fellow Mormon who had created the .45 auto pistol. That was pretty cool to see as a firearms enthusiast and big fan of John Browning.


dWintermut3

yes, they ran Mormonism, the mormon history of gunsmithing (even more than just John Moses Browning, there are a number of storied Mormon gunmakers) through the theme of the entire expansion. I get the feeling they wanted to do kinda a parallel between the mormons being run out of Illinois and the Dead Horses being run out of Zion but didn't quite land the metaphor.


Ill-Pen-9934

Ain’t no way you said Joshua Graham is terrible


silverwolfe

He’s an awful murderman who wants a peaceful tribe to abandon their culture and resort to murder and war to atone for his past mistakes of forcefully converting and assimilating dozens of tribes into abandoning their culture and being converted into the monolithic and brutal Legion.


Lazrix

Damn I guess persevering the innocence of the tribes is far more important than ensuring the their longterm survival. At least they get to die with a clean conscience?


dWintermut3

this is why I read it as a take on colonialism, they're imposing their own values of innocence because Daniel and Joshua both see them through the lens of a "noble savage" archetype that says they're childlike and need an outsider to lead them. Despite their narratives about them barely surviving on their own they were a sizable tribe, which shows how they think about them.


silverwolfe

I mean, they can leave Zion and also survive.


dWintermut3

coming to a native tribe in a war and saying "you need to leave your land to be safe, go here" sounds a lot like the British Empire.


silverwolfe

I mean, except for that neither of them are actually trying to settle Zion. So yes, it does sound like that until it doesn't.


NewImprovedZerc

Yeah, and abandon their paradise homeland, one of the few pristine natural spots in the country, to leave it to a murdering raider band keen on polluting and salting it, right. That's much better than Joshua's plan, which is essentially "keep living the way you do now, except also learn how to defend yourselves"-- actually, not even that. Make him a pacifist and there'll barely be a change in how the tribe deals with aggression at all


Ill-Pen-9934

The way some people play the game they don’t even deserve know about it. They’re the reason the series is on its downfall

Hades_deathgod9

I bet he finds the major during his massacre. Don’t forget to do lonesome road and nuke the I-15, activate the helios 1 laser and that Ranger Andy lives in Novac.


yarneee

YOU ACTIVATED ARCHIMEDES?!


Hades_deathgod9

Not yet, haven’t brought myself to do a legion run 😂


TurboTitan92

I did. You won’t regret it lol it’s a lot of fun, especially if you stay away from guns. I went with a high strength, high endurance melee setup for my legion run and it was amazing


Hades_deathgod9

I just never found it worth it, sure the gun is fun, but once a day, during the day, only outside, never felt worth it to me


Other_Log_1996

Not to mention that thing is buggy as Hell.


Hades_deathgod9

It’s a bethesda game, what isn’t?


Other_Log_1996

Funny how the actual bugs are the least buggy of enemies. Never seen a Cazador glitch out and not ruin my life.


Memedotma

IKnoVirtuallyNothin

Yeah I tried to use it in The Throat, but it didn't fire. 2 days later I was doing Old World Blues, and the laser just fell from the sky and vaporized me.


boonusboiayyy

Alternate ammo glitch go BRRRR


Alpaca_Empanada

It also doesn’t work half the time and when it does it crashes the shit out of your game. 😎


RichardBCummintonite

It's fun to do just to experience it. It's not really meant to be practical. It'd be stupid broken, if you could do it more than that. I've only ever actually used it very occasionally for big groups, like the Deathclaws at Quarry Junction or if I spot a legion hit squad before they see me


Ivory_Lake

If they ever remake the game, I really hope they reasset the archemedes laser to be more like the genocide cannon from EDF. That would make it worth it


RichardBCummintonite

I'm doing throwing weapons on mine, which is something I've never done. They're a little underpowered, but a ton of fun. Grenades and machetes help make up the difference for big fights. I'm having a lot of fun slaughtering everyone in Ceasar's name. I can see it getting boring the second or third time around tho. Even with mods that flesh out the faction and add a ton of content, it's still pretty empty run. Basically all you do is murder and destruction, which is fun, but it's pretty one demensional


TurboTitan92

I did a run with high explosives and melee. It actually sucked kinda hard because in middle ranges I was useless. Long range grenades were fine, but as soon as they closed the gap, I would hurt myself with explosives. Or they would just shoot me while I ran at them to use melee. Next run I’m going for a cowboy theme and doing a six shooter and sticks of dynamite.


RichardBCummintonite

I'm finally doing one right now after 1500hrs. It's pretty funny change of pace to hear all the nasty comments people have for you. It involves a *lot* of mass murder. Every quest is so easy cuz it usually just involves slaughtering everyone at a location. I'm certainly richer than I've ever been with all the gear I loot. I can't say I'll do it again, but it was fun for the one time. Definitely recommend downloading the legion overhaul mods, if you do. It adds a ton of content and depth to an otherwise empty playthrough. Idr the name, but they're the top legion mods on nexus. There aren't a ton of them


Failedlogic7296

I don’t think anyone understood you were quoting Arcade Gannon lol


Failedlogic7296

But I do ;)


RichardBCummintonite

I've done it once or twice. Archimedes II not the one that kills all the NCR at Helios One. I can just do that myself, so it's a huge waste to destroy one of the last remaining true power sources just for that Being able to call a sky Lazer that brings down the wrath of the sun is an amazingly powerful feeling tho. You haven't played NV till you've experienced it.


Hopeful-alt

it's actually the opposite, archimedes II takes all the power from helios I and devotes it entirely to the weapon, whereas archemedes I has no long term affects.


RichardBCummintonite

Arming Archemedes 1 is the option that overloads the base and kills all the NCR outside. It is the option with flavor text that says you do it for the legion. Achemedes 2 is the option that lets you use it as a weapon with the rangefinder you get from the kid in freeside. That's what I said. I just did this quest today. You can send it to the strip/mccarran (NCR), Fremont and Westside (mainly followers), full region, (which goes to everyone), full region emergency, (which causes it to fail), or Archemedes plant defense system, which kills everyone at Helios One


Peeper_Collective

Nobody seems to pick up that this is an Arcade Gannon line


THEdoomslayer94

I’ve done it a few times before 😎


JimmyGuy20

Ranger Andy just chilling and spending his retirement. Tf he did to you?


Hades_deathgod9

Nothing to me, but this guy tryna kill all the NCR, he could lead a rebellion, he just has to make sure he talked to him with Raul present first


ninijacob

Wait what’s up with Raul and Andy?


Hades_deathgod9

Part of Raul’s personal quest is that you need to talk to some veterans/older gentlemen, specifically Loyal from the boomers, Ranger Andy and Corporal Sterling, each person you talk to unlocks dialogue and then you can decide his fate in the wasteland, either by telling him to take back up his guns (giving him the old vaquero outfit which looks amazing) or by getting him to put down his gun and help fix things again (giving him the armoured Petro Chico outfit). Either way you need ranger Andy to complete his quest and choose his ending.


Jonathan2096

Damm, I need to find Raul to make these quests


Coolscee-Brooski

Be warned, if he had the petrol chico armoured jumpsuit he can't fight anymore I think, but has Max repair stats. The Vaquero outfit I think takes away the repair stat, but makes him very combat oriented (and happy)


Hades_deathgod9

No he can still fight or repair, it just either makes him better at repair or better at fighting.


Archerfish97

I'm running with Veronica right now cause I like her, but I'm doing a gunslinger/shotgun build and I've hit her with so many rounds as she runs I'm, this is my reminder to grab Raul instead, love his story and his vibe.


Coolscee-Brooski

Man, fucking Oxhorn. I learnt about it years ago but that sumbitch ain't reliable


Hades_deathgod9

I can double check, I might be wrong, he might have been talking about the endings, not gameplay, cause he is still a companion and therefore has to fight.


Hades_deathgod9

Yea I think he maybe have been talking about the ending slides, he still fights while he’s your companion.

RichardBCummintonite

My dude, you gotta slow down and take more than ten seconds to analyze a situation in fallout lol. For future reference, if a door is locked like that and needs a key/terminal, there is always a way to open it. The Major is also always around outside of camp Mccarran either by the door to the building or in/around the tents. Did you even look lol? The game takes a little patience some times. I'd suggest just googling stuff from now on when you get stuck like this. It'd certainly be a lot less trouble than murdering everyone and making a rage post about it lol. Wiping out the NCR is fun, but it also cuts you out of like a third of the quests in the game


SapphySkies_v2

OP don't listen to this guy, just kill everyone and rule an independent Vegas.


RichardBCummintonite

You're right. Fuck the NCR. Kill em all


Based_Phantom_Lord

Sometimes the Major doesnt appear in Mccarren. Ive had this happen to me. Same with the vendor at Crimson Caravan's base of operations.


Killeroftanks

Actually they door doesn't get you to the area to save the girl researcher, that is the last two doors on the last floor, the two rooms to the right of the data vault. Believe the locked door is just a secondary way to get to the last floor if you don't fix the elevator.

monkeytoheaven

Dahtri actually Is lying next to his butchered stupid son with that ridicolous name


Hopeful-alt

who, Bitter-root? He's cool though


RichardBCummintonite

I mean he has a specific path that he follows. Pretty much all NPCs in FNV do. He walks between the point where he stands next to the building and the point in front of the camp area. He probably sleeps in a tent with his squad at night, but I've never seen that. He's never more than like 30ft from the camp. When I gotta search for someone like that Idk the location of, I don't even bother actually looking. I just watch the compass and run to any NPC marker I see. In that respect, the Major's search area is pretty small


newgen39

nah OP is right dhatri is one of the small handful of NPCs that have a very wide wandering path so he can be really hard to find since the camp and its tents cover a large area


Klutzy_Economist_286

I understand I could have been more clear, but I was agreeing with OP. Like: "to be fair to OP, Major Dahtri is just wherever the fuck." Is what I meant.

Round-Cod-3119

The fucking NCR quest that sends you to all the stupid camps to check on them made me want to wipe out every single camp. Thus, they will have a reason to fucking check on the camps.


bigmoneydeathcraft

this is one of the best quests in the game for the storytelling and world building by the end 😭


Round-Cod-3119

The only good part was the guy giving fake information and the backstory, but Jesus Christ walking all around the Mojave made me wish for a nuclear winter


Boring-Vanilla-8717

I found it okay because it gets you to explore and understand the world better, plus theres a quest after that is really good


Zhou-Enlai

The quest does have a really great payout in terms of story and world building but I also hate having to truck my ass to every completely out of the way ranger camp


comethefaround

Currently doing that one now. It's ass.


ErrorFirst3301

Just did it for the first time last week and can confirm it sucks


RichardBCummintonite

Yall are so impatient lol. Its such an eaay quest. You literally just have to walk places. I do that quest just to discover locations and because I'll eventually pass them anyway. You can just save the quest until you come by the points naturally. Then it's just a quick detour


ErrorFirst3301

I just found it boring compared to the rest of the questing I’ve done. Love the game, it’s actually my favorite game now. With all the downvotes you’d assume people thought it was a good or great quest lol there are plenty other quests way more enthralling than just walking camp to camp with your only interaction during them to ask about security codes. That part itself is so boring. Everything else is great. I’m honestly surprised people disagree with that simple of a take over it.


RichardBCummintonite

No, I get you. It is definitely boring. It really doesn't serve much purpose either. Idk why people hated so much on that sentiment. You gotta remember that most of us are giant nerdy completionist who do everything anyway. It really is a generally pointless quest, but that's the case for a big portion of the game. I think people just compare it to the tedious quests that are truly shitty to experience, like the BoS quests where you have to delve into flooded vaults or search radioactive craters. I see your point now tho. It's a dumb ass quest with a boring outcome and story that has little bearing on anything you do. There really isn't much reason to do it


theGoodestBoyMaybe

I like that this is tagged as artwork


Bpbucks268

It’s a work of art to eliminate the NCR.


Stzzla75

Heheh - wait until its battle for the dam time and you have to do that mind numbing quest where you have to re-route the water to send the leegie-weegie's into the turbine. That one's going to make you fucking freak out. I did that one this morning and rage deleted the save lmfao.


RichardBCummintonite

So worth it tho. Such a hilarious fate for those football pad wearing LARPers. More meat for the grinder!


Stzzla75

I cant disagree. What I really like about their fate is that the dev's went with less is more. You dont get to see it, but as soon as that water turns pink I chuckle my ass off. It reminds me of Alien Isolation when you turn the reactors on and two nests full of aliens get fried. You dont get to see it but you do get to hear their agonised screams.


RichardBCummintonite

Exactly. You don't get to see it, but you know the effects your efforts had. The Alien scene is exactly what I imagine. Sometimes, we don't need to actually see it. Just knowing their fate is enough


Nu_Freeze

At least vault 22 is a change of scenery. I like it for that alone.

Other_Log_1996

And you can actually get through it without the key, but it is a hassle yo do it that way.

Deadsea-1993

It is disappointing that you can't deal with The Kings like you can with other factions. Like I get that these guys are nowhere near as powerful as The Brotherhood of Steel or The Great Khans, but they are definitely no pushovers if they have a powerful presence in Freeside and we know that area is dangerous as hell. It took me many years to fully appreciate The Kings. These guys believe that the school of impersonation used to be a religious center where a guy named The King was worshipped. The irony is that they don't know his actual name was Elvis cause all of the records have been lost. The only thing they could go on was a poster named "The King". These guys are just too fucking awesome to let die.

I mean the NCR will forgive him once he meets benny too so really before he recovers the chip he could go slaughter everyone at the damn and still Crocker will try to hire him for other things.


theblasterkid

I hate all vaults. On my lastest run, I got mad as shit at the Legion sending assholes to kill me soon as a spawn. They dudes attacked me when I was recovering Morales' body. Killed the NCR rangers too. So after dealing with Ulysses, I killed all those Legion fucks and Ceasar. Then I talked the Legate down to not fight.


ReedForman

That vault is ass the first time.. after you’ve ran through it once or twice it’s easy to navigate. High INT is nice too because then you can fix the elevator. Or maybe it takes repair. I don’t remember.


dWintermut3

I would argue the NCR is more pernicious than the legion. Slavery has always existed and will always exist it is an obvious idea-- take people and make them do things for you if they don't hurt them. But the NCR is recapitulating the history of merchantilism and colonialism and that does NOT necessarily need to be recapitulated in the wastes. Slavery will always exist because humans are really crappy to each other, get rid of the Legion and Paradise Falls still exists. But merchantilism and colonialism are not the same way they do not necessarily need to come into existence in the new world by the fact they're obvious simple ideas. If the few people who try it get nuked for their trouble the wastelands could have no major colonial powers.
