Vulpes Inculta

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 4:23 pm

He seems like he has a unique personality. This will probably make me love him (if he does). I don't care how evil he is, why kill characters that are worth talking to? I think he may just be a bad enough dude to save the president.

The game is supposedly made to play it how you want. It's your choice :D

:whisper: I may kill him eventually if I don't see his stuff anywhere else. Or, you know, "showinventory."

Although I understand that if you haven't seen/heard him doing that psychotic killer role, you would just hear him like http://www.jasonspisak.com/Home_files/McDonald%27s%20-%20Sausage%20McMuffin%20w%20Egg.mpg in your head.
I'll bet you 500 caps those sausage mcmuffins are made from uncooperative slaves.

I don't see him as Evil. I just see him as getting the job done. Life in the wasteland is hard people get used to it.

"Nipton is a town in the Mojave Wasteland inhabited by Caesar's Legion. Vulpes Inculta is the leader of the members here in Nipton. Before Vulpes came in, the town was full of gamblers, thieves, and prosttutes. Vulpes had the brilliant idea to have a lottery to "save" them. The winners would be crucified while the rest would be slaves"

He did those "bad" things to a town full of bad people. If he did that to a bunch of peace loving tree huggers then yeah I would say he's evil. You want to break a wasteland and let them know you're the new power the new King in town, you have to break a few eggs. You have to let scum know what happens when you challenge Ceaser's Legion.

Also, how is he anything like Erwin Rommel? Erwin Rommel was not evil.

Vulpes Inculta? Then let's hope he's not pro-Enclave.

No but Rommel was nicknamed "The Desert Fox" and I believe(as LKT said in the sub-title for this thread) that Vulpes Inculta=Desert Fox in Latin.
EDIT: In terms of being like Rommel, IDK maybe he likes tanks? (good thing he probably doesn't have any)

That was a joke. "Vulpes" is the latin term for fox, and Inculta means "waste" in latin. His name basically translates to "desert fox" in Latin, and desert fox is the same nickname General Rommel was given.

I see. As long as it's in name only. They could just be trying to say he's cunning and a great battle leader. As the two of you said his name means something like Fox or Waste in Latin. As long as the Devs aren't trying to say Rommel was a bad guy as in Evil.

My character may or may not side with NCR, but one thing is for sure: he HATES slavers. I have a feeling that Vulpes will be the kind of guy who will say "So, do this job for me, and I'll put in a good word for you. Don't do it, you die." So I will probably attempt to talk my way out of it if I find him on a lower level, and shoot his ass if on a higher one. Down with the Legion.



ok now your making this sound like the dark brotherhood..... kill everyone in the dark brotherhood because the night mother wants you too....

Well, his bosses were no angels. Many would say guilty by association.

So every German, Italian and Japanese as well as Russian's (Don't forget about Unlce Joe) are evil because they followed evil people? Yeah some would say so but to me that's just wrong.

Rommel's record is clean he was forced to kill himself to save his family from being killed by the Nazies. Also he was not apart of the nazi party if I remember right.

It depends who you talk to. Some US. Soldiers would tell you otherwise. War tends to skew one's perceptions of what is right and wrong, and when one's on one side, you're naturally against the side that's pointing it's guns at you.

Well there's not much info on him. Some say he's evil. I say he does "bad" things to bad people, so he's not evil just tough. Other then that what's there to talk about?

Also we are on topic. You have Desert Fox as sub title. I wanted to know why.

This.

I wonder if there MAY be a chance that we could make that armor (via quest or crafting). Would be neat to have a CL quest where they made you do a certain amount of tasks, then kill a Coyote/other canine and bring its pelt to them, then they make you the armor and you are now an official member of the........ CL rewards club?(I'm guessing you would become a member long before you could do this.)

Agreed, It'll be my trophy to hang above my bed since I'm sure it'll be one of my more challenging battles.

I'm sure the NCR will be pleased to hear such a dangerous criminal met an untimely demise. :tops:
