Utterly Mad

In fallout 3, I went without followers. I do that in a lot of games, because I find followers to be a burden. The one time I took a follower in fallout 3, it was star paladin cross and she was instantly killed by a deathclaw in the first combat she saw at my side. Seriously, start of the fight. I shoot the deathclaw with a dart, cross charges and as she goes to swing her hammer, the deathclaw takes a swipe and her head goes flying off her body. Useless. absolutely useless. They almost always are. In new vegas, I tried them all to see what the big deal was. Boone? Dead as shit in the first legion ambush we encountered together. Cass? Dead as shit to ants before taking a single shot. Raul? Stayed at the lucky 38 because risking one of the more useful NPC's is a retarded idea. Rex survived, I didn't have the heart to take him from King. The only exception was Veronica and ED-E. V was awesome and ED-E's perk increased his survivability by ensuring that anything which could harm him ended up dead as shit before it could serve as a threat to him and Veronica. Veronica was a tank though. No idea why she was so resilient, but whenever someone tried to throw down she would go apeshit, soak up a ton of bullets, and punch peoples heads off their bodies. Gannon was killed by super mutants and Lily was killed by night stalkers. Which was a shame because lily, like veronica and ED-E, was a genuinely likable character. I swear, you give these NPC's stimpacks and they never use them.

Boone was the only companion I actually finished the quest for more than once. I quite liked him actually.

what the fuck. Boone literally is the best follower, though he has the personality of a stiff piece of plywood. And you don't like raul? You monster

I will admit, I only kept him around once. Perhaps just bad luck. Legion ambushes are really strong and he did bring down two of them before they hacked him apart with their machetes. I have completed his quest many times though, it's a very satisfying quest to do. I didn't say I disliked raul. Raul is very useful and I guess I did find his character a bit endearing, I just don't want to put a practical skill like his in the line of fire. Also he was voiced by Danny Trejo, and I feel that was the right choice in actor for that character.

My main problem with followers in general, is that while it may not be like the way I feel, I always feel like I'm baby sitting them. "Take your fucking medkit goddamnit. fucking, great, now I have to peel that enemy off of you. Wonderful."

True, Raul's also basically the only easy source of 100% repairs if you fuck up faction-wise. Though again, not using hardcore mod helps so damn much. ;w;

I also recall one time I was perched way up on one of the rock conveyor belts in Quarry Junction, plinking away at the fucking giant deathclaw, while both Cass and ED-E were basically out cold the entire time.

Who doesn't perch up on the conveyors while plinking away at the death claws? Also that machine gun at the back of the quarry.

I started to get into the stage in payday 2 where I have, to quote Killing Floor, "Loadsa monay"

Money! Money! Money! Dosh! Get it while ya can!

Meanwhile, in salem, the black sun ascends and the witches are let loose. FREE DISEASES FOR ALL! I spent two hours handing out medicine and killing rats while fighters stabbed each other in the arena for  the entertainment of the devs.

GRA is so fucking good.

There is so much wrong with this, what the fuck. Though I can see why, you practical wanker.

In payday I got to the point of 'why not' and pressed the burn offshore money button. I now have my shitton of money back already.
Speaking of payday those of us who have it ought to play together sometime.

I'm up for it

Butbutbut. Still need to pester you to keep playing the DF and CDDA succession games. D:
