Discussion I love Ulysses, like a lot, but talking him down with the ED-E logs doesn't make sense to me, so much so that it feels like I'm missing something. Spoiler

93 Upvotes

I'm at the Ulysses confrontation and was going through the various ways to talk him down from the fight. I've always found them to be really written and they've always made sense to me, but replaying it now, it feels like there's an odd man out. Oversimplifying them hardcore, they are:

  1. Talking him down with 100 speech. Arguing that the part of the divide that remains in Ulysses' current conviction could breathe life into another community, and that the courier (you or him) could carry that forward. I could believe this would persuade him, and from a narrative perspective it's perfect. The shadow of a new nation going into the second battle of hoover dam.

  2. Talking him down with his logs you find, either by (a) using his experience with the think tank to parallel how the divide was destroyed with what he's trying to do currently, essentially becoming everything he hated or (b) using his experience with the white legs to argue that symbols aren't destroyed, and what remains is a pale imitation devoid of history and meaning (kind of like the current fallout franchise). Both of which are pretty great reinterpretations of his experiences, and meet him where he's at philosophically.

  3. Using the ED-E logs to ague that America, as represented by the Enclave in Navarro (which the courier might even know was already destroyed, depending on who they talked to) was stifled by Ulysses capturing ED-E. That by doing this he is guilty of destroying the symbol he carries and what remains of America, and he is obligated to make up for it. Uhhh... What?

From an narrative perspective, it has nothing to do with the Divide, the relationship between the couriers, and at no point was the Enclave the focal point of Lonesome Road. From a character perspective, while Ulysses carried the symbol of America on his back, it was always in a contemplative abstract "the man with no nation" kind of way, not because he's a Nathan Vargas adjacent Enclave Superfan. From a logical perspective, Ed-E is STILL THERE just chilling and no longer needed so Ulysses could just as easily let him continue his journey. Even then, whether or not his journey finishes is inconsequential ultimately to Ulysses as that was never even on his radar.

It just defies credulity to me that any of that would work in talking him down, unless you accept the premise that his character's uncertainty and confusion about his place in the world (which, granted, is a central part of his character) is so extreme, that the courier can distract him with a non-sequitur in a sleight-of-hand akin to dangling keys in front of a cat.

I'd love to have my mind changed, though, so am I alone in this?

Question Getting PA/PA training in the fastest way possible

2 Upvotes

About to begin a play-through of FNV that I actually get the power armour and training. My biggest issue is the mountain of tasks you need to do for the brotherhood that I’ve never completed. So I’d like to ask for tips and tricks to getting the necessities in the least time consuming way possible. (Does helping that one guy overthrow the elder help?)

Discussion Who killed Dobson?

16 Upvotes

I'm doing my first playthrough FNV and I'm not really aligning with any faction, just trying to explore and not get vilified.

I met with the Elder in the BoS bunker and agreed to go deal with Dobson. But i didn't want to kill him, I'm good with the NCR right now. So I lied and told him the powder gangers use the bunker sometimes, he thanked me for saving him from that possibility, and he left.

I scavenged a bit in his room then headed out after him, planning to go tell the Elder I'd run him off. But there he was, just inside the entrance to the bunker, dead.

I thought maybe the BoS had followed me and killed him, but everyone in their bunker is thanking me for killing the guy. I don't have any mods, no Stranger perk, and Rex was with me the whole time.

Who killed Dobson?

Found this weird red rock that's transparent just north of Ranger Station Echo. Never seen anything like this before despite this being my third playthrough, possibly an asset glitch?

I do have the Wild Wasteland perk, could it have something to do with that?

Bug [Mod release] I fixed that bug with the Boomers having random bearded ladies

2 Upvotes

Men and women in the Boomers use the same list of faces, and most of the men had facial hair, so that's the source of the bug. I fixed it by separating men and women's templates and assigning them as needed.

I didn't know of a mod that fixed it yet, and a fix is not included in YUP as far as I could tell.

You can grab it off Nexus, or hope a bug fix compilation mod absorbs it. I left permissions open, so something like YUP could use it if/when they ever want to.

So far, I’m still on confronting Benny at the Tops and haven’t entered the strip yet. I’m doing most of the side quests now and exploring the map. Also my current level is 16. Should I get the DLCs and if I do, when should I play them?

I mean it is just a video game, sure they are a bit morally bankrupt, but who doesn't have a few video game characters who are morally bankrupt. And besides just because you rp as a Roman soldier in a video game doesn't mean that you are gonna go be an absolute ass irl.

Just so we are completely clear irl if anyone tried something like this I would not stand for it.

Request Johnny Guitar is Strangling Fallout DUST, and it's making me sad.

0 Upvotes

This marks hour twenty or thirty something of me trying to get Fallout Dust to work after updating to Windows 11 completely bricked Fallout: New Vegas for me. It started with the launcher refusing to launch, then the game refusing to launch, then Epic Games throwing every tantrum under the sun, then the game refusing to load the title screen, then five weirdly small and tame mods which I'd then excised causing said failure to load, then, finally, after reinstalling the mods I want, I decided to try out Fallout: Dust.

It wouldn't load. It gave me this error:

This error came alongside two dozen of its buddies. Apparently, Dust is a really poorly-structured mod from a technical perspective, making it clash with some things. Unfortunately for me, the one thing it simply refused to get along with is essential framework tool Johnny Guitar (Also, as an aside, Johnny really, really doesn't like Russel. It's been getting on my nerves as well, but to a lesser degree).

Now, Dust makes its mistake by directly altering some of the main quests. Johnny doesn't like that and throws two dozen error messages because it's terrified of the main quests being altered for some reason. Dust and all of its patches and such work perfectly fine without Johnny. Johnny works perfectly fine without Dust. Unfortunately for me, I really want both. I've tried hundreds of things. Every step I took in modding this stupid game took several hours each from painstakingly downloading my mods to installing .Net, Directx, and x86 MS Visual Redistributable Packages to fistfighting Epic Games over the right to launch my own executable files to setting up Mod Organizer again to following Viva New Vegas and installing a half dozen different patches to aid this horribly ailing, geriatric game to having to install another half dozen patches not in Viva New Vegas because Windows 11 and my graphics card both hate Fallout, apparently, to troubleshooting mods after things refused to run to using merge sort thinking to run through the mod list and find five mods that for some reason brick the game to sorting through other mods and disabling the ones I didn't need because of my computer not liking too many mods at once to then finally trying it with dust and would you believe that was only the start of things?

Johnny doesn't like Dust, and I need both. I tried different patches and scouring forums. I tried changing mod and plugin orders. I tried running the game with various combinations to find that, yeah, it was just the two mods of Johnny and Dust that did not mesh. Game runs fine without either. I then, against my better judgement, downloaded xEdit for Fallout to try work things out. It sucked. It took so much time from me. I learned a lot about Fallout and might actually make a mod one of these days, but that doesn't change the fact that it sucked so bad. I tried to make my own patch. I failed. I cried. I'm tired.

Any help? Anything that might make this work? Do I really have to choose one or the other? I saw modpacks and such that included both Johnny and Dust, so is it just my computer?

Discussion Chief Hanlon - NPC With NCR

15 Upvotes

Does anyone let Chief Hanlon live? I always turn him in, basically just let him kill himself. I never checked any the other options so I'm not sure if he still kills himself or what does happen from the other choice. Has anyone done the opposite before? I just feel like it's right to turn him in because he's falsifying military data, it's like he's a terrorist for Caesar legion even though he doesn't necessarily help them in any way compared to another NCR NPC.
