Female character can't fight in the arena? : Fallout: New Vegas

» Sat May 21, 2011 2:34 am

It's just three fights with no challenge at all (my character who hadn't put any points into melee killed the enemies with ease) - doesn't really even compare to IC's Arena.

Thanks Draz! I don't feel too bad about missing it then.

The thread has proved to be pretty interesting!

In case anyone cares, I've been playing more with this character from this angle: she thinks the Legion on the whole are stupid sixist jerks. However, Caesar himself impressed her greatly with his charisma and she pretty much completely believes in his ideology. Seriously, if I'd written out her ideology before I started playing, it might have looked like I traced most of it. On top of that, Caesar treated her with great respect, never once indicating the merest hint of personal sixism. He was all, "Wow, you're awesome." It's all about personal strength in the Legion and my character, though female, has plenty. The one major difference between her viewpoint and Caesar's is that she doesn't care about making a difference in the world; she's just glad to be given challenges worthy of her great ability for her personal glory, and Caesar provided them for her, in spades. It does chafe that she never has a chance to shove that sixism back in the faces of the rank-and-file (at least, not without 400 guys all ganging up to kill her), but I feel like I've come to a good RP compromise here.

It does seem odd huh? Its also odd if you are a man and he is asking for help from an outsider, let alone a woman.

I really want to go back to that camp, into his tent and whack him. But im guessing it would be pretty hard getting back out, and getting my weapons back.

Has anybody done it? Im siding with the NCR right now. And already got the chip back and went into the bunker below the fort.

I've done it it's not that hard. I just snuck around the camp and planted grenades on people in packs while using a stealth boy. Then i would stand up and blow their heads off with my 44 :gun:

...Although i died 10 times trying to pull it of but who needs those minor details, right?

Well, Boone and I rampaged across the entire fort, laying waste to every legionnaire we came across with plasma and .308 divine intervention. So it's certainly possible.

Might be a lot more difficult if you do something silly like give up all your weapons so you get a chance to see Caesar and talk to him rather than rendering unto him some 12ga coinshot.
