Goodsprings: Peaceful Solution? : Fallout: New Vegas

» Sat May 28, 2011 2:41 pm

Any way to resolve the tension between Ringo, the Powder Gangers, and the residents of Goodsprings without having a big showdown? I thought it was odd that basically the first quest in the game was such a blatant good/evil choice. I'm hoping there's some kind of 3rd alternative.

The alternative, as I gather it, is not to get involved. Not all quests have peaceful solutions.

Not sure only done this quest once and I made sure the Powder Gangers got one hell of a kicking.

That's what I thought. Seems a little weird to walk away and have Ringo just hide in that gas station for eternity, but that's life I guess! Thanks for the response.

Don't think I don't see where you're coming from. When I talked to Trudy and she seemed to think it'd be best for him to sneak out of town at night, I thought that's what I was going to do. Sadly, such an option did not exist.

I look at it this way. The towns people are the ones who are not organized and motivated to stand up for themselves, that is why they have to problem. I just get them organized, get them equiped then stand back and watch while they handle their own problem. After all, it is their problem.

Hmm! I like it!

You are still promoting violence though. Which means you are not a pacifist in the true sense. True pacifism will mean you are dinner on legs.

Not necessarily. Think of it in terms of traditional martial arts - the best defense is a good offense, and whatnot. You're not teaching the townspeople to kill - you're teaching them to protect themselves.

That being said, you're right. A pacifist is indeed meals or wheels in the Mojave.

Just don't forget that anyone crippled will REMAIN crippled throughout the rest of the game.

That explains Deputy Beagle. He took a dynamite meant for me and now limps everywhere.

You can't put some stimpack into their inventory via pick pocket?

Would they use it?

No idea, my character is a friendly Kleptomaniac. He doesn't give things, he takes them... but he's really nice and sides with good usually.

Peace through War my friend. Side with who you agree with more.
