>see a hole in the comments that says it's feral for Lanius for that one line
I would like a tall roman girl to take me to her tent and beat and rape me so I guess I can't judge
Women are all degenerates
>in my tent
imagine modern bethesda writing dialogue like that i can't
Ubisoft Hud. If you actually mod your game to look like this, have a nice day
Time for talking’s over.
Time to die.

I have never killed this man, always let him leave. Personally I'd like to defeat him when he's at full power.
His lips kept clipping through his mask so I had to blow his head off, it seemed like the only right solution at the time.
He is at his full power.
Why it's more of a decisive victory if you kill him and they have no other viable leaders if you already killed everyone at the fort.
Not really. By killing Lanius, you'll just ensure another warlord ascends to take over the Legion. By making him retreat, you paint him as weak, which inevitably leads to division within the Legion and eventually, Legion defeats itself.
Assuming Caesar didn’t die of his brain tumour by the time of the battle he would’ve had Lanius executed
Killing Caesar in his tent, the leader of the Frumentari, the leader of the Praetorian Guard and Lanius all in the same week would be too demoralizing. Add that to losing the dam again to the same faction and the division happens much faster.
uhmm.... uh.... t-the east will-wi uh.. fall with fall in uh... taking t-the we-east... the west.
The bear? The west? *smugly* Uhm sweatie don’t you know Shady Sands, was destroyed out by an atomic bomb 4 years ago and the lasts NCR remnants were wiped out by the brotherhood of steel?
>and the lasts NCR remnants were wiped out by the brotherhood of steel?
arent the brotherhood in the mojave hiding in bunkers? how did they manage to pull that off
Because Todd wills it. Don't think about it, the showrunners deleted every West Coast faction, because they couldn't be bothered to deal with all that lore as per their own admission.
>their own admission
What's funny is that they moved the NCR's capital 150 miles south to blow it up because it was in the way of the story you want to tell. What's funnier is that people rationalized this with excuse after excuse about NCR being in decline, corrupt, etc. in NV, but the writers' motivation was, quote
>We didn't want to have the NCR be there doing everything right
They weren't even aware of how flawed the NCR is. Like a player doing their first playthrough of NV, they just blindly assumed that the NCR was a bastion of democracy and all that is right and good in the world. They blew it up because it presented a problem it didn't present in a place where it wasn't.
You know, when Avellone felt like blowing something up, he came up with the Divide, a civilized, yet neutral place that he can happily nuke without breaking the lore. Also, Avellone didn't want to destroy NCR, he wanted to challenge them, but not eliminate them completely.
The showrunners could've literally gone for some made-up town/faction to blow up (because god knows the show's NCR has frick all to do with the game's NCR) and the story would be the same, but they deliberately went for NCR... for no reason.
The choices the showrunners make in this show are just baffling.
Todd will not be denied his Brotherhood vs enclave storylines
The reception of the Fallout show made me realize how many viewers do not understand how television is written and produced. The GQ interview with two of the writers has multiple red flags, one of which is
>Don't worry, we have more stories to tell
which is corpo-speak for
>We do not have a plan
Their choices really aren't that confusing. They've been very honest, I think. They've admitted that they're not concerned with pleasing fans, they set the show on West Coast with a limited understanding of its setting or themes, and they've indirectly admitted that they have no plan, even saying things like
>Well we HAVE to do this thing the fans don't want us to do in season 2
They're producing provocative popcorn TV, and it's successfully provoking people. The issue is that they're eventually going to need to pay off the massive amount of "intrigue debt" that they've already written. Considering the reaction to the one plot thread they DID resolve in S1 (Shady Sands and Moldaver), we'll see how that goes.
I've read this interview. It's not even a red flag anymore, it's an air raid siren blaring right into your ear.
But at least I appreciate their honestly. "We really couldn't give two fricks about the lore, it was counter to our fanfic, so we deleted the lore" it's a much more refreshing admission than pretending everyone's in the writing room "is a huge fan of Fallout" and other such horseshit.
It was the East Coast Brotherhood, who flew the Prydwen across the entire fricking country to do it
Absolute Legion Victory.
I watched a video of that last dialogue just now. Talking away a boss sucks, but the courier does have a point. The thing is, it's a speech check, not an intelligence check. Obsidian makes it very clear you're only driving them away temporarily. Adding to that, to gain strength.
Yeah, "you troops can't be in two places at the same time. Let me, a courier explain to you, a military commander, the concept of logistics" is an amazing point.
I love Lanius, he's such a magnificent villain.
Lanius is a warrior first, he's been pushed into the position of military commander and he has his doubts, which he, being a macho gigachad, obviously can't express to anyone. He is loyal to the Legion, and he tries his best to do his duty but he doesn't want Legion to fail.
You need 100 speech which means your character can say anything and people will believe them.
I see it as the courier being charismatic enough to come up with that, but also Lanius being intelligent enough to see the flaws in the legion's current plans through that speech to him, the courier made him stop and think about how things were going instead of continuing to blindly follow Caesar's orders.
Black person this is literally the very first fricking thing anyone considers during a military campaign. This is why people consider you NV trannies to be utterly pretentious morons. You praise writing that may as well have been written up by a clueless child who doesn't understand how the world works and wax philosophical over it like it's some dostoevskian shit. You're fricking embarrassing.
>This is written badly because it's not written the way I want
You mad bro?
Lanius didn't even want to be in Nevada and just wanted an excuse to leave.
Nice big sword.
Oops, haha orbital laser go boom.
>200 damage
>and yes I'm a pussy that only appeared at the last mission cause if I appear earlier you would've easily kill me without me ever seeing you
>are you a water chip?
>i'm looking for something called GECK to save my village, would you happen to know anything?
You again.
...um, what is Autum's goal anyway?
He wanted to turn on the purifier.
To be the bad guy
TO PROVIDE FRESH WATER AND PROTECTION FOR THE WASTES
DID YOU NOT PLAY THE GAME
He somehow doesn't know the president is an AI.
What is even a point of the president being an AI outside of cheaply referencing Fallout 2 again?
to be a twist? Bioshock made them popular in games for a bit.
Yeah, but the point of a twist is that is has to build up on something and go somewhere.
Randomly making your villain an AI is not... you know what, nevermind, it's Emil after all.
>2 RNG dialogue checks is enough to destroy his ideals
Best narrative award everyone.
Is this the only time in the day that fallout threads aren’t flooded with wojaks and shills calling one another trannies?
*blasts Super Soaker of diarrhea into your mask holes*
>Bethesda sees series about an alternate-future post-apocalypse setting with a thin retrofuturism backdrop
>somehow fails to read past the "retro" part and makes 50's theme park borderlands
I want to know specifically which moron at Bethesda is responsible for this
Either Todd or Emil.
