| How do Major Factions Have so Much Ammunition? Posted: 24 Jun 2021 06:00 PM PDT Where the hell do the major factions get their ammo? The NCR for example, it supposedly has tens of thousands of troops. Where do they get the millions of rounds of functioning ammo? Do they manufacture it themselves? And if they do manufacture it, where do they get the raw materials? They need brass, lead and a bunch of other crap that I don't know enough about guns to name. There is no way the US Military stockpiled enough ammo for the main factions to sustain themselves on. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 24 Jun 2021 04:33 AM PDT Throughout the main story, up until the point the SS actually encounter a courser, there were tons of build up on how strong and dangerous the coursers are both by Kellog's memory, Virgil's proposal, and people reaction when you return with the courser chip. The game has led me to believe the Coursers are Terminator-like super soldiers with super human capability not unlike Spartan super soldiers from Halo universe. It is widely acknowledged that once a Courser is involved, there's not much any one can do but run; we see this based on how the Courser fought his way through GreenTech and Deacon's commentary about the assault on Switchboard. As many of us would agree, Courser turned out to be somewhat a let down once we get to fight them. This is often regarded as game play balance taking priority over lore accuracy. However, I believe the depiction of Coursers in game is very lore accurate both by how characters in game perceived them and how they are depicted in gameplay. In truth, I believe the true capability of Courser is more in line of real life Tier 1 Operator and by no means super human.
In summary, Coursers are highly trained, very well equipped, well supported individuals at peak human condition that could easily be seen as an insurmountable foe by most wastelanders. However, when seen from prospective of BoS, they are perceived as very dangerous but still beatable. [link] [comments] |

| How Could Have Ever China Invaded Alaska? Posted: 24 Jun 2021 09:32 AM PDT There are a few things I find confusing about this: -How did the Chinese sneak a fleet and army past the US Pacific defenses in Midway, Hawaii, etc -How did they get past American allies, such as Japan, in the Pacific? Tensions were high before the invasion, I doubt the US could ever let the ships needed for the invasion to slip past them or their allies -The Soviet Union was on good terms with the US, shown by the presence of Soviet citizens in Vault 13. Why would they allow the Chinese to sneak past them to wage a war almost certainly destined for a nuclear conclusion? -Why didn't the US use their own fleet to cut off the Chinese forces from their supply lines? There is zero chance they could have held out in Alaska when every surrounding power was on at least unfriendly terms. To me this sounds like the Chinese sent a massive fleet to Alaska. -Lastly, why would the Canadians be reluctant to allow the US to move through their territory (on roads built by the US precisely for moving troops to Alaska) so that they could retake land occupied by a foreign and hostile power? There is precedent for this: the Japanese Aleutian Islands Campaign in WWII. However, this was isolated to a couple islands, the closest to Japan through their Kuril Islands, the Soviets were deliberately avoiding angering the Axis (as far as I know), and the US was able to end the occupation before it spread up the Aleutian Chain.

| The Bill of Sale Totally Changed My View of The Legion Posted: 23 Jun 2021 07:12 PM PDT Recently I decided to go back to the Bill of Sale item that you get from the quest One for My Baby. No worries, there are no spoilers to the quest attached to it. Instead, I'd like to go through the document and highlight how this one little bit of lore and insight into the Legion changed how I look at them as a whole. Firstly, it's on a Holotape. That may not seem like such a big deal, "Yeah, it's on a holotape, so what?" It's a Legion Document. People in the Legion are capable of writing data onto a Holotape. Do you know what you need to write data onto a Holotape? A computer, or some other kind of electrical device. Which means that they use computers in the Legion. Obviously not in a widespread sense, no doubt kept for certain positions and jobs that may need or require it, but they use it. No matter how many people use them, they use them. The stereotypical view of the Legion is that they despise technology. This isn't true. They don't hate technology, they just try not to rely on it, use it as a crutch, like the decadent civilizations around them. Obviously, they're not gonna just start using Power Armor or energy weapons, that's a step too far, but they will use more advanced technology. They probably have the 'Bill of Sale' in writing too, kept in some kind of filing cabinet somewhere. This brings me to the contents of the letter itself, which I will paste here: We, the representatives of the Consul Officiorum, have this day bargained and purchased from Jeannie May Crawford<! of the township of >!Novac the exclusive rights to ownership and sale of the slave Carla Boone for the sum of one thousand bottle caps, and those of her unborn child for the sum of five hundred bottle caps, the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged. We warrant the slave and her young to be sound, healthy, and slaves for life. We covenant with the said, Jeannie May Crawford that we have full power to bargain and sell said slave and her offspring. Payment of an additional five hundred bottle caps will be due pending successful maturation of the fetus, the claim to which shall be guaranteed by possession of this document. M. Scribonius Libo Drusus et al. Administrators of M. Licinius Crassus, Consul Officiorum ab Famulatus It's essentially a receipt, evidence that you have sold a person into slavery. For this specific case, it involves a later payment for something I will not spoil, but the point stands. A contract. ...Why would one need a receipt? I mean, aren't the Legion a bunch of backward savages? I mean what's the point of this bill? Think of it as a contract in today's terms. Something to legally bind two or more parties to a specific set of rules and obligations. 'Legally' is the important word here. The Legion has a legal system. Not a simplistic tribal one, but one that has its sales and bills in writing, on computers, with backups no doubt made in writing, applicable to handle disputes. Say Person A decides to sell their pregnant slave to the Consul Officiorum ab Famulatus. A Bill of Sale is drawn up, stating that the woman is both pregnant and healthy. However, come to the actual trade, the pregnant slave is actually decrepit, and unhealthy, and it is unlikely that she will give birth to a healthy baby. A dispute occurs, and this can be taken to some kind of third body legal system that no doubt is rough, but still can be identified as a legal system. No doubt the Officiorum ab Famulatus would win the case. Speaking of: the Officiorum ab Famulatus. A legitimate department is responsible for drafting legal documents involving the selling and buying of slaves. With Administrators and workers that are, obviously, not fighting on the front lines. Instead, they're drafting legal documents. Slavery in the Legion isn't some chaotic affair, it has a simple process involving bidding, auctioning, selling, and buying. They're harsh, cruel, misogynistic people that do not hesitate to enslave and pillage, but they have a legal system and settlements and traders and official departments. They have jobs that aren't involved in the Military-Industrial Complex of the Legion for men. The presence of these systems, these documents, and processes, open up a rabbit hole of speculation of life in the Legion beyond what we see in Vegas. In 30 years Caesar was able to create his Legion, and conquer huge swathes of land with these systems in place. The Legion is far more than just a band of tribes under a ruler. It's still truly awful. It's a warmongering, genocidal, dictatorship that sees its women as property, its slaves as a workforce, and its men as nothing more than the will of its leader.

| Questions about the brotherhood of steel in fallout New Vegas Posted: 24 Jun 2021 01:00 AM PDT Hi, so I'm doing a play through of new Vegas where I "side" with the brotherhood and basically play the game as if they were one of the major factions trying to take new vegas. So my question is, want factions would the Mojave brotherhood destroy, help, or ignore. Like would they destroy the boomers, great khans, or the enclave remnants? Would they use or destroy the securitron army? Any ideas or thoughts? [link] [comments] |
