Wait is THAT where that quote came from? I thought it was from a real life physicist.
What, the most famous scientist in the NCR isn't good enough for you?
"Of course I know what I'm doing! I just don't know what effect it's gonna have." Ahh... That dude is just Fantastic.
I didn't think that was a real line until I started playing last month and of course that clown would be the one to say it.
This line was delivered so well tho
I like the contrast of these two:
Part of good writing is being able to have characters say things that match their personality. This is quintessential Cass.
Dick "The Cock" Johnson?
Dick "the long rock cock that mocks" Johnson? THAT Dick Johnson?
Long like a spaghetti noodle or long like a thick meaty Johnsonville bratwurst?
I have a note: it should be longer.
Hence the name
I want some advice, I started a new playthrough, and the furthest I got before this one was going into caesar's camp or something dressed as one of his legion, but when I returned to the friendly faction, I left the armour on by mistake and they turned on me, and I lost my save.
I haven't got a companion yet, but I'm about to fix ED-E. What happens if I try something similar, and try to dress up like a normally enemy faction and go to their base with a companion (ED-E or other)? I'm trying to do a speech/int run , how should I manage my companions so they only shoot when I start to get into combat, or I am sneaking around or walking around in costume?
As far as I remember, your companions will only attack if the npcs are hostile with the exception of boon. Boon will always shoot legion on sight. You can have some decision over their actions though by talking to them.
As for the armor it does matter when and where you have it on. Again my memory may be foggy but factions can be peaceful or aggro depending on what you are wearing. You can even go into a camp with hostiles if you have their faction armor on.
Take all of this with a grain of salt though, it's been a long time and I did play with and without mods.
Hello, I am the apostrophe police. Please register with the executioner for your execution first thing tomorrow morning.
As the Honorable Apostophe Judge in charge of this district, the apostrophes displayed in this meme are accurate: the first being the possessive of "nobody", and the second being a contraction of "dick is". The accused is thus declared not guilty.
What's the dialogue that gets you to this? 😅
I noticed you license your comments here, do you really think that stops llm scrapers? I have more or less resigned to the fact that anything I write or post here is in the public domain and on the internet essentially forever.
It's actual purpose is to infuriate lemmy users. I don't think I've ever seen a comment with that signature included that doesn't have at least one reply from someone telling them it doesn't work. It's pretty funny.
I guess? If your purpose is to annoy people trying to discuss things...
Just ignore the signatures, it's harmless
It's "harmless" in the sense that ads are "harmless" which is to say it's a deliberate waste of my time, and thus vile.

That doesn't actually take much to do. Especially the talentless hacks calling themselves "artists"
Same energy as the boomers posting those crazy "Facebook is not allowed to use my stuff!" posts on FB. Some people never learn.
In order to make it really work you have to, print off the comment, write NO COMMERCIAL LICENSE in green ink to 45° angle, then upload the picture of the comment with the sign on it.
Otherwise it doesn't count.
You have to use RED ink you damn fool! Stop spreading misinformation.
Regardless of its effectiveness, it will be fun to see that text regurgitated
It's been years since I played New Vegas, but I feel like you can get this dialog not long after you first pick up Cass as a companion. I believe the dick in question is that of the NCR, which has overextended itself in the Mojave and is struggling to secure its territory.
Thanks for the explanation! Never played New Vegas. The reviews said it was terrible, but maybe after a few updates it was OK?
I would definitely recommend giving it a try.
A number of devs from Interplay (developers of the first two Fallout games before Bethesda acquired the license) moved to Obsidian and worked on New Vegas. Many long-time fans of the series consider it to be the best of the series after the transition to 3d first person, if not the best in the series, period.
A lot of the negative reviews were tied to the very buggy state the game released in. I've heard rumors that Obsidian asked for more QA time but was forced by the publisher to rush it to release. Given that Obsidian had a bounty reward if they hit a certain Metacritic score and they missed it by one point, I'm inclined to believe that rumor.
Personally, I think Fallout 4 has better gunplay, but New Vegas is much better at being an RPG with guns in it, rather than a shooter with RPG elements tacked on. It's gotten a ton of polish since release, and there are years of community mods and patches to further smooth out the rough edges.

Thanks, that's what stuck with me and I hadn't checked since. I'll give a go. Thanks.
What fuckin reviews you reading? Its literally the best one.
Overwhelmingly positive 96% approval on over a 100k reviews.

It was released in 2012 or something. Back then it wasn't greeted with such positivity and I hadn't checked since.
The reviews do look pretty positive now.
