He's actually a very clever, intelligent person, he's also a lying snake who runs over whoever he has to in order to get what he wants. As much as I feel like an ass for saying it I actually kind of admire him willing to do whatever it takes to reach his goals, he almost made it to when you think about it. If he hadn't been caught by Caesars guards and could have got into the securitron vault then who knows what would have happened.

He could have been an endearing sleazebag if Matthew Perry hadn't blown the voice acting. As it is he's just a sleazebag.

He's just as nasty as my average Courier.
If he shot someone else in the head I would mostly ignore him. But he shot me, so he has to go. No hard feelings, enjoy that cross.

I remember reading that House designed his life support system to keep him alive forever, not just a very long time.

However he wishes to make it a product and sell it to people wishing to live forever. He suggests the Courier seals him/herself in one, too.

Really?

I assumed he wanted the Courier to be able to move around so that he has a lieutenant that runs around for him.

I think the chairmen, and the Tops is far better off without benny.Benny has too much of a hunger for power. He took power in a knife fight with the old leader, when they were the Boot riders.

No, not really. In the ending House just tells you that he will call you up if he has more super important work to do. So after Hoover Dam battle the Courier will be pretty much unemployed, living off the endless luxuries provided by House. But yes, he will be House's lieutenant, the only one authorized to meet him.
And besides, what's to prevent the Courier from entering the support pod until he's so old he can't open a door without breaking his arm. House just implies the Courier can take the opportunity when he so wishes.

I imagine that House will use the Courier for diplomatic missions and missions requiring espionage, tossing everything else to his securitrons. With the Mk.II upgrade he can send them far far away and they won't be taken down by your average raider.

Any guy who wears a checkered jacket is a moron

I should have every reason to hate him. But I just can't. Sure, he shot me in the head, but that wasn't personal. He just wanted his chip and for me not to talk. Understandable.

I don't know why, but I just like him. I mean, he atleast gave us the dignity of "killing" us like a boss in the intro, and I've always liked his attitude towards stuff. There he is in his death ropes at the fort, and he's still keepin' it cool and maintaining a mood of humor? I love it.

Sure, maybe he's an idiot for thinking he can just walk into the Lucky 38 and kill house and take over the strip... but considering we can do that no problem, I don't see why this is too far fetched, especially since after we go in the outer doors stay open the rest of the game...

Only problem is the Securitron Guards, who will kill anyone who is not the courier.

Yeah, but I know I don't have much of an issue with them. Theoretically speaking it's possible. Hell, if he disabled the Securitron that became Yes Man with a single EMP Grenade, he could just run in a couple hand fulls of those. That or a bunch of stealthboys.

Benny doesn't have access to plasma rifles, anti-material guns, Pulse Guns, holorifles. or any other guns that make cake of Securitrons. Maybe EMP generades would do the trick, maybe that Yes Man one was a case of dumb luck (critical hit)? Maybe or maybe not.. But i am very positive Mr. House would notice someone using his elevator

He would be lucky to get his hands on two pulse grenades.

He's not your character, he got lucky once but that one time caused people to become suspicious of him.

I hate how he smoothly calls me baby. Just weird. Dig

Well then I guess Hitler is a cool guy besides the Holocaust, and if you can look past the loss of limbs Leprosy is actually a jolly good time.

I actually really liked Benny's character, just everything about him says Vegas, "Maybe khans kill people without lookin' 'em in the face, but I ain't a fink, dig?" But yeah even though he is like the main problem in the couriers story, everything about him disappears after you kill him. No body really cares cept maybe some people in his casino at the Tops lol. I woulda liked to probably know a bit more about him besides he was a tribal, got turned into a casino owner by house, wanted to take over vegas.

No no no, no. As No-bark would say if you ask him about Benny, he was smart because checkered suits with black and white protect him from extra-terrestrial's radars. The real reason he was stupid was because he didn't paint checkers on his face.

I mean he's cool and all, but he tried to kill me, and he's an arrogant bastard, he soooo deserves the crucifixion. :verymad:

PLEASE don't try to use extremes to argue against one person. That's just poor debate skills, and borderlines Strawman arguements >_>

benny is a cool guy. a fun guy. and a bad guy.

one of things that makes him seem less bad, imho, is that I don't think that he thinks he is a bad guy. He rationalizes and i think buys his own BS.

I have met people like benny, people you like, and CANNOT trust, but wish you could. he ain't no han solo.

The courier didn't even need science to operate the terminal in House's penthouse and it's not exactly hiding. That [censored], benny, would have figured it out eventually. Speaking of which, for a guy who has supposedly thought of everything, House left a major opening in his security.

He shot my female and male char in the head!
He ditched my female after a lovely night were I spared him!
He ditched my male after offering a deal and tried to kill me again!

He is a bad guy......Crucified!!!

Its impossible to get in unless House wants you in, he'd turn off the elevator if there was a problem.

And, if they somehow got up the elevator anyway then they would be attacked by a ton of securitrons that Benny could not handle.

Benny is not such a bad guy...........Until you blow his head off at point blank range!
