When reality sets in

Post » Mon Dec 06, 2010 11:18 pm

I'm sure of us have the mind set of being the nice guy on the first play through meeting everyone kind of feeling the game out. Today i just said screw it! I'm sick of doing quest lines for jerks, doing all kinds of hard work with no reward. On my first play through of fallout 3 i would let scavengers walk up to buildings and start looting stuff and not do anything about it. Now i just melt them...

I mean hell, whats so good about having all these fancy weapons if we aren't gonna shoot them :D. So whose with me of playing the true bad ass behind the wasteland on our first play through of FONV?

You had to think about this...

It is liberating to play a complete donkey in games that give you the option to do so.

I don't lock myself in a thinking battle of right and wrong. I play fallout on impulse, and if I disagree with something; I don't do it, always have played like that and always will.

I should've probably elaborated a little further. In MOST games i play i have never started off with a bad guy. Mainly because i think i'am afraid of missing out on content.

I play from a survival point of view. If that scavenger has something i need (ammo, guns, caps) and no one is around, you can guarantee a quick death for him. However only if i need it.

First playthrough I always play as myself, and try to do things the way I would in RL. Which is usually the decent thing within reason, if I'm not too busy/drunk.

Me. This has been my plan for some time now. I'm gonna be a quiete cold-hearted killer who gets the job done.

I'll probably end up playing as an ass, so myself, but now that there are no karma achievements I don't give a damn :D

Running around killing people and stealing being a scourge of the wasteland is a good way to get in trouble. With the reputation system people are going to know about you. They will not want anything to do with you. It's not going to be like in FO3 where you can nuke a town and walk down the road to another town and everyone in it will treat you like a nice harmless person.

It reminds me about an interview some time back when they started letting people play demos at conventions and someone said fallout New Vegas svcked because the casinos would not let him back in just after he killed the door man and shot up the place :facepalm:

If a game lets me I always play a power hungry psychotic killer. The only way to survive an encounter with my character is to offer him more power (weapons, stats, whatever). But after he gets his reward he will kill you to make sure you werent holding out on him.

I always do the goody goody two shoes for my first playthrough in RPG's.
This time I'm going evil.
Real evil.
I'm going to be so evil that if a psychiatrist saw me playing he would tell an insane asylum to come and lock me up. :evil:

It's not fun to be a psychotic evil bastard, at least for me. If I make a bad character, he'll have a reason for what he's doing.

I don't kill people unless I need to....you never know if they may come in useful later. And I don't waste merchants as they buy the stuff I get off of people who were stupid enough to screw with me.

I will be the gentleman of the wastes. I will always ask "Would you mind awfully, if I hacked you to bits?" before I kill someone. Unless the likely happenstance occurs that someone would already be pointing a gun in my general direction, of course. Then I would have to take immediate action towards that sir/madame. But I will certainly not play as some psychotic misfit, who seeks only to kill for pure amusemant.

On my first playthrough.

After being a practical Saint, and killing EVERYTHING to the point of the game having no purpose, I realize I should just do what I feel is necessary. Although Good Karma never really helps much.
