Anyone find it odd the 4 survivors of the Nipton massacre just happened to ALL be Powder Gangers? (Oliver Swanick, Boxcars, and the two enslaved powder gangers whom can still be rescued). Out of all the native Locals, Travelers, Prospectors, NCR troops, left massacred around the town it just...

Occurs when a more minor character or plotline is suddenly dropped for no apparent reason, without any real explanation for what happens, and without any sort of resolution to the character or plot. Ex. Fallout 2 - We never do rescue Sulik's sister or find any trace of the slaver group whom...

Why are all the raiders and fiends sporting S&M clothing.

Ayn Rand's self-declared purpose in writing her fiction was to project the "ideal man" - the man who perseveres to achieve his values, even when his ability and independence leads to conflict with others. Mr. House is an exceptional individual in the Fallout universe and for anyone who's...

Mr. House of all people is the greatest of examples of this trope in the Fallout universe if the Courier goes against him later on. Not only did Mr. House have Victor save your life after being shot and buried in the grave, but 200 years earlier he practically saved New Vegas which is the only...

The Courier kills loads of White Legs, but apparently killing their GENERAL is such a massive problem that it turns the Sorrows and Joshua into hardened war-mongers, when throughout the DLC I (and them later on) have been gleefully massacring White Legs like nothing. The Sorrows are still...

Anyone else find it odd you can often spare the lives of leaders from horrendous crimes and atrocities and it's made a big point, while blowing away dozens upon dozens of their underlings and followers into oblivion like their lives were nothing? This has always been a bit of peeve of mine. I...

In New Vegas the vast majority of territory was NCR controlled with the occasional Legion Spy or territory on the edges of the map. I'd have loved to see more of this type of espionage in Legion territory - such as infiltrating the inside of Legion and sabotaging as an NCR or House agent...

To me the fact that you can use both cannibal perks in dialogue, and that there is strange meat in the kitchen (which is widely known for using human flesh in a recipe), it's just too odd and hints at something much bigger but perhaps they didn't have the time to flesh out what exactly was going...

New Vegas has some pretty freaky locations and atmosphere, in big park thanks to Mark Morgans ambient and the shear amount empty space in parts of the map between locations with a small empty building here and there. This was something that was criticized by alot of people at first, but to me it...

What explains all the strange meat pies she has in the kitchen?

Jas Wilkins located in Sloan could very well be a serial killing cannibal or at the very least goes around butchering dead bodies in the wastes as there are no known strange meat pie vendors or hunters in New Vegas. You can find a plethora of strange meat pies in the mess hall which she runs and...

I'm playing a strictly mercenary courier right now, not necessarily evil but not good and trying to stay as neutral as possible and this is proving a bit difficult. Alot of the quests inherently grant good karma. I killed three fiend leaders for a bounty and went from neutral to very good karma...

I found out Joana goes missing if you finish How Little We Know before helping her escape. Joana herself says "I've been with perverted men but Cachino's done things... to me, that - Even other Omertas would also want to kill him if they knew what he does." Cachino's journal makes it clear...

I received negative karma once for pick pocketing a key from a fiend to free Vault 3 captives.

Positive karma for killing raiders and fiends is bulshit. Of course I'm going to shoot down any bastard who comes straight at me with a tire iron.

Perhaps "intentions" also factor into karma for NPC's. That is if they're evil for the sake of it or have an evil mind knowing they're unjust and sick minded such as Clanden (listed as evil and tortured a prostitute to death in Gomorrah). Caesar and his followers believe they're creating a...

New Vegas has only 5 named characters that are categorized as "Very Evil": Mortimer, Cook-Cook, Duke, Philippe, and Vulpes. Is there any one else in this territory that should have made this list? How is someone like Jeannie May Crawford who sold Boone's wife into slavery classified as "Evil"...

The only people outside of The Legion who pronounce Caesar correctly in New Vegas are Marcus and Easy Pete. Marcus is a highly intelligent and historically educated super-mutant and Easy Pete...is a prospector. Now how would Easy Pete know how to say Caesar correctly? If you talk to him he...

The Legion as we're shown in New Vegas are vehemently misogynist and see males as superior and consider women only for breeding, and throughout The Fort you see women just as slaves. You'd expect a wasteland leader of Caesar's stature to have assembled a harem of sorts. Mr. House has Robot...
