What type of person will you be in Fallout: New Vegas?
(you know, sneaky :ninja:, good :angel:, bad and all that)

To paraphrase Theodore Roosevelt, my character's motto will be "Speak softly, and carry a big gun." He'll have (Big) Guns, Explosives and Speech tagged. He's the sort of guy who tries to peaceably resolve all conflicts, but he'll pack some serious firepower in case the disputing parties become unreasonable. Basically a combination of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Barack Obama.

I will simply offer one hand....and arm the other, while doing so....just in case.....

I plan on Having big guns and power armor blowing away anyone who gets in my way. But i also like to be the good guy and protect innocent people. Plus gambling looks really fun so i'll give my guy some luck.

The Good-Karma assassin. Ordinary person helping folks out by day, sneaking into your camp by night and taking you out one by one. Miss Sandman.

edit: just realised that sounds like every comicbook superhero ever invented lol. Brainwashed much?

I really, REALLY try to make a good character, heck, I even sometimes plan to be the 'bad guy.'

Sadly, in-game, I fall torwards neither. In F3, I planned to be the goody-two-shoes, yet ended up being a degenerate drinking gunslinger with a penchent for pistols, sniper rifles, and caps. Precious, precious caps.

I think, in Vegas, its gonna fall down much the same way. A pistol/rifle-slinging hard-drinking, gambling son of a gun, who's morals are dictated by whomever pays the most.

What? You NCR guys got nothin' but fresh water, and a hopeful smile? Alrighty then, off to join the legion.

I also freely admit to letting other people do the fighting for me. (Would hate to take a bullet, when I could be scavenging your/his corpse. Nothing personal.)

I do seem to remember being able to capture slaves and sell them in F3, although that could have been a mod. Good caps! (I think I felt bad afterwords. Almost. Maybe.)

So yeah. Although, I did choose the 'good' .. ending. So I guess that speaks for itself.

Multiples. The quite unusual, sometimes insane, Girl Genius who will save any robot she finds. Also the diplomatic good lass, heavy drinker. And the mean manipulative broad with a huge weapon skill.

Snake Plisscan for the most part. Bad ass with a soft side.

My first character will be an elderly bearded man, a lone wanderer who is very anti social. He's a merc and courier with focus on sneak, small guns and healing, He is not a big brainer but he knows his survival skill and rifle well and will do any type of jobs where the paycheck is big enough. It's not that he's plain evil or good but somewhere in between. Think Clint Eastwood in a fistful of dollars, deep inside he got good intentions but the harsh wasteland, gangs and raiders has thought him to only trust in himself and his pistol. And hardcoe mode will add a big part of immersion to this character.

I know it may not be very original, but my character will be based on some of the characters which Clint Eastwood has portrayed. Rugged individualism, old school conservatism, vigilante justice, ahhh... it speaks to the soul. Due to the nannyism and welfarism of real life, I find myself escaping into more libertarian fantasy settings like Fallout, Firefly, Jericho, Deadwood, etc. Theraqeutic.

1 word: Clint.

a lot of clint allright

Also not very original but I have to make a Fear and loathing character at some point. Drugged up, carrying all kinds of drugs, alcohols and what not, running around crazy in the wasteland

so far intresting.
most people sticking to the bad ass get go charactor or even the dirty harry himself clint eastwood for the harsh wastes for New Vegas.

i am gonna do multipul playthroughs joining diffrent factions each one or just carve my own path :flamethrower: .
keep your views coming liking some of the weird and wonderful ideas :goodjob: .

A neutral merc that gives no chances to anyone that opposes him.

Same here

sneaky :ninja:
and good karma :angel:

First play through I'm going for a sneaky sniper survivalist medic that can repair my own weapons lol. I'll be tagging Medicine, Repair and Survival and adding to Sneak and Guns as much and as quick as I can. Probably be on the good side as that's what seems to come naturally to me in these type of games.

Short tempered with a headache.

A mass murdering chauvinist pig. Caesars Legion joinee slave collecting degenerate lowlife greasy thug. Tommy Gun wielding VATS to the face, oh how I love me some good day to you sir.

Neutral... whatever i feel is the right choice for me or for the people of the wasteland, I'm not into helping governments gain complete unchallenged control of anything. I thought about not joining a side the first time.

I'll be a scavenging survivalist kinda guy. Morals don't really come into it, i'll go with whatever deal is best for me, and if i need something or want it i will take it, providing i won't be needing the person who owns whatever it is....

This is how i played my first Fallout3 character. It makes the game longer for me, and in every game where it is possible, i have collected and hoarded items, weapons and armour. I think in Fallout3 i had almost, if not everything possible to acquire.

Why change for New vegas?

I will be somewhat of a merc, but I wont do anything for money... I will tag: Energy weapons, speech and survival I think
My second will be like me... So a un-charismatic speaker, survivalist and Unarmed/melee weapons guy... guns are for the weak. I also might end up as a slaver... Just for the money... but I only take a$$holes (that would be capitali$t$)(Oh sweet irony)

My first playthrough won't be good, or bad, but more of a neutral guy.

I will play as I see fit for each situation:

-So if I see an awesome looking armor set....I will obtain it no matter what!
-If someone makes a bad comment to me (or even companion) they will pay!
-NCR wants me to eliminate Caesar...Done. I will then kill their leader also!
-Companion takes off in heat of battle...I will hunt them down!
-Bandits try to kill Doc Mitchell....they will all die! :hehe:

Caps and items will also make me decide one way or the other.

My guy will follow the NCR as a solitary sniper who will try to do the right thing and resolve things without killing, but when that gets old I'll whip out the new Ranger Sequoia an awsome NCR Ranger revolver that shoots rifle bullets! But I dont really want a total goverment control out in the Mojave Desert like it was back in Fallout 3, so who knows we''ll see how the NCR turns out I've missed them.. haha

I usually play sneaky snipers who are good at lockpicking from the start. My character personality is a loner who tries to do the right thing, but will steal valuable consumables and kill wandering scavengers if I think it will be benefit me in some way.

I found using a gatling laser for sneak-attack headshots to be very satisfying as well. Perhaps I will go sneaky, rocket powered face melter.

With the inclusion of melee combat moves I might try explosives, melee, survivalist. Toss a grenade, lay a mine or two and kick them while they are down.

I'm hoping for ample opportunity to be a gadgeteer genius.

And of course ample opportunity to apply liberal doses of energy weapons fire.
