I get the two head bear people are the NCR, but are the Battle Cattle the Legion? What ever "they are" I don't get the reference.

fat women with clubs?

i have no idea

My guess is Caesars Legion, but I can't think of anything near Black Mountain CL owned.

That's a disturbing thought :unsure:

I thought it was Brahmin.
I mean, super mutants, big, strong, fierce, battlehardy and afraid of the awesomeness of the BATTLE CATTLE!!! (Brahmin)
I find it funny.

It's the Brahmin. Super mutants are afraid of them.

I like to think this too. It's much funnier to imagine hoardes of Super Mutants running away from 5 Brahmin :laugh:

It's the Legion. Because Legion have a bull on their flag.

But still, thats like saying a fuzzy animal is the NCR because they have the Grizzly bear.

I agree that it is Brahmin. There is even an unmarked quest relating to them

Spoiler

(and how Nightkin are scared of them)

in the Novac area.

I always thought it was brahmin, But it makes sense for it to be Caesars Legion. Though nowhere near as funny.

As I recall in FO2 , Supermutants were afraid of Brahmin. Think of it as the elephant and mouse thing.

Supposedly the NCR have calvary they just aren't present in the Mojave. Horses could certainly be seen as battle cattle.

Except that horses aren't cattle, of course.

Now I'm wondering how to get a brahmin to Black Mountain.

» Sun Mar 06, 2011 4:03 pm

It's the brahmin. Super Mutants (and apparently specifically nightkin) who aren't afraid of measly humans, centaurs or perhaps even ghouls...are frightened of the brahmin.

I'm pretty sure the quote is "...two headed bear people (NCR) astride battle cattle..." If that is the correct quote (I'm just putting down what I remember from the game), then it wouldn't be CL, unless Best Friend Tabitha believes the NCR will charge into battle while using the CL as steeds. Another quote I remember is "Are two-headed bear people shooting at you and battle cattle mooing at you?"

Definitely Brahmin are the dreaded Battle Cattle. Such should have been obvious to anyone who has encountered the obstinate beasts.

Caesar's Legion being scary. Hah! :lmao:

Its obviously Bighorners. Why would a Mutie be afraid of a Brahmin when they pose no threat whatsoever in a fight. Bighorners on the other hand will hand you your ass if you let them

» Sun Mar 06, 2011 11:13 pm

Brahmin.

If you did an unmarked quest you would know why.

I think they're more afraid of the fact that they do nothing.

Because the particular mutants that are scared of them are BLOODY CRAZY.

This too..lol

battle cattle and humutants are both humans

» Sun Mar 06, 2011 2:32 pm

It's Brahmin because of the free quest: the scream of Brahmin
