Best Primm Ending. : Fallout: New Vegas

» Wed Nov 03, 2010 11:56 am

The Primm endings are very morally grey. Which do you guys think is the best?

» Wed Nov 03, 2010 7:03 am

I kinda like the sounds of the Slim/No Legion one.

Same, although the Slim - legion one made me wish I went another path that playthrough.

Generaly speaking on a the wastes are still a hard place ending the rogue sheriff sounds more likely to succede imo.

Seems to me Meyers is the best ending for Primm under the endings I've seen so far (Independant/NCR). If you don't rob, [censored] and/or kill people there is little reason to be afraid of him. Those with those kind of hobbies stay far away from Primm because they know he will deal with them appropriately. In a frontier area with no effective government outside the settlements, he's just what they need. Ideally, by the time he's ready to retire the Mojave will be civilized enough that such methods will no longer be necessary.

I like the Slim/House ending. It just kind of had a humorous heartwarming ending.

I totally screwed that quest up. Mainly because I couldn't get the dude from the Powdergangers. Mainly because I get shot every time I walk through the door of the prison. The prison is bugged for me. So, I put Slim the robot in charge. Although, Slim svcks because he still thinks he is in the casino.

Ya, the end script for Meyers kind of creeped me out, but summary justice and/or lynching is a wild west tradition, I guess.

... plus the Courier/Lone Wanderer is pretty much the Lone Vigilante anyway, at least on most of my playthroughs. :gun:

not me. i get two sidekicks, go into the prison and kill everyone who isn't meyers. good place in the beginning of the game to get XP and loot.

Okay. So I've talked to Meyers now it says nor has to pardon him. Where/who for that?

» Wed Nov 03, 2010 5:43 am

NCR house ending., he sent securitrons, they will protect them, granted there is tax, but its the best imo.

there is a NRC outpost at the southern west part of the map. the officer at the front desk can do so.

What about independent with Meyers? No tax, but a safe town.

Anyways, Slim>Meyers>NCR.

Meyers just kills who he wants sometimes. Not a good guy.

Meyer aint a psychopath mind you; maybe his code of just is slightly off, but the Courier get discount and the no one need to pay tax.

Meyer>NCR

Nvm. Figured it out. I love this game :-D

» Wed Nov 03, 2010 11:16 am

I reprogrammed Primm Slim so the people wouldn't be taxed. The unintended consequence was that Deputy Beagle lost his position as deputy. I didn't expect that he'd lose his job but he wasn't all that nice to me and I felt bad about it but I didn't think Meyers should be Sheriff. I thought he'd go on a power-trip. I wouldn't normally have placed a robot in a position over people (I've seen Terminator) but Primm Slim is the kind of robot you can easily remove so I did it. All they'd have to do is call the Courier back again if they had a problem with Slim.

He strikes me as a Dirty Harry/Judge Dredd type of guy....he doesn't have any use for dirtbags who prey on people weaker then themselves. He'd shoot a rapist just as readily as a NCR Brahmin Baron trying to bribe him into running working folks off thier own land so he didn't have to pay for it. Circumstances being what they are in the Mojave, I'd far rather have him than a robot or a NCR soldier who sees you as conquered foreigners.

QFT and what we see if Meyers is Sheriff, Primm prospers as he is an experienced sheriff, so I think that he is a great choice since he does what is necessary to keep order, which is just what the wasteland needs. Slim may be good but know that he is slow and thus lets some criminals get away. Are you willing to let a rapist or murderer get away without justice because the sheriff is too slow?

The end slide says people vanish with little or no evidence against them. The man is corrupt.
And my NCR option is when you go and join house, he kicks the ncr out and sends securitrons to spy thinking they may be ncr loyal, he taxes them too. Taxes give house money to rebuild thats good, and robots protect the people thats good. The thoughts house originally had will stop eventually and the securitrons will likely stay. Best for everyone.

How is he corrupt? How is he abusing his position for his own gain?
Provide evidence that the people who died with little or no justice weren't raiders or criminals

If there is no evidence prove they are criminals and not just people he didnt like ? For example say a guy owed him some money, or a woman wouldnt marry him, then they vanish. I cant prove they werent criminals you cant prove they are, but the context of the end slide basically says he keeps the town safe and bullies its people. Much like how it works in poorer countries with crime, the gangs keep other criminals away but if they see you as a threat or dont like you, dead.

The townsfolk comments before then end say they like Myers. So he's not a bully. The slide also mentions him being fair to people. How many people does the Courier kill with little or no evidence? Hell entire towns try and kill you for picking a pocket Myers doesn't sound that harsh from the ending slide.

His acceptance speech says it all "Be good or I'll shoot you dead" which is the model of justice every community in the wasteland uses.

Your making up stories you don't know anything about Myers except that he use a style of frontier Justice. How does it say he bullies the people it says he's fair, and the townsfolk comments before then end say they like Myers. Your idea hes corrupt has no basses. He's just harsh.

How many people does the Courier kill with little or no evidence?

The courier is your character, so that can be ignored, but in my game, only hostile people die.
Anyway you cant say he isnt corrupt and I cant say he is, its up to everyone and securitrons and house still make for better protection, and house dosent make people vannish with no evidence. He didnt care you let benny go.

House punishes the people for looking to the NCR for protection. Primm isn't protected by the securitrons there a punishment from House for being annexed by the NCR. Anyone who showed the slightest NCR acceptance gets punished for it. If you complete G.I Blues honestly and peacefully the Kings get wiped out for making peace with the NCR.
