Females over powered?

Post » Tue Jun 15, 2010 7:29 am

Blackwidow perk is so much better than male version.

-There are more males in game so the damage increase tot them is a must
-You can flirt with more people and at better times (like when you first go into vegas for benny you can kill him when you sleep with him as female making things easy)

- Male Couriers can choose Confirmed Bachelor and get the same damage bonus.

- Benny is already extremely easy to kill.

No.

It doesn't make them explicitly homosixual. You could think of it as just being a sensitive, charismatic, super-handsome type that gets people to trust you w/stuff they might not trust everyone with.

-Im talking about harder difficulties and i struggled to kill him on normal.

Benny's still a kitty-cat on Very Hard. Especially if you've already played the game once & know what to expect.
But the Black Widow is definitely the most funny way to deal with him. :D

-So it being gay makes it underpowered? It's the exact same perk.
-It takes less than a magazine from a 10mm pistol to kill him.

That's what we refer to in my neighborhood as a "personal problem." Confirmed Bachelor and Black Widow are identical, combat-wise, differing only in the gender of the character getting the damage bonus.

Benny's a pushover. The only thing that poses any threat while taking him out is if you go after him on the main floor at the Tops and have to take out all his bodyguards as well. And that's not really so tough either. :shrug:

The only thing I'll give the OP is that you tend to find more male combatant but it's not by an overwhelming majority like in 3, but I think a lot of can agree that Benny wasn't a problem and their are alternate ways to deal with him besides combat and the lady killer perk like the skill checks.

From the Vault:
Spoiler
-You can flatter Old Lady Gibson into giving you the thruster mods for free during the Come Fly With Me quest.

-You can make Janet immediately fall in love with Jack during the "Young Hearts" quest.

-A hoker named Dazzle in the courtyard of Gomorrah will have six with you for 50 caps instead of 100.

-You can flirt with Lady Jane to have her pay her debt to the Atomic Wrangler.

-You can invoke some humorous dialog between you and the Lonesome drifter; he informs you that he lived in Montana and his father left before he was born, the player has the choice of worriedly asking "Montana? Oh god, you wouldn't happen to be 17 would you?" to which he replies in the negative, and the player responds by attempting to change the subject.

-You can compliment a female prosttute in Gomorrah during How Little We Know in exchange for Cachino's location. (Only proven on ghoul prositute on lower Brimstone table).

Lady KillerEdit

so Not many options..

But Confirmed Bachelor on the other hand
Spoiler

You can ask Major Knight at the Mojave Outpost if you want to be "friends", to which he will respond favorably, but also say that such "friendships" aren't looked on particularly fondly at the outpost.

You can sympathize with Manny Vargas' plight and listen to him complain about his problems. He will then tell you where Benny was headed from Novac without doing Come Fly With Me for him. You can still do Come Fly with Me optionally after he gives you the information.

You can flirt with Arcade Gannon and convince him to join you as a companion.

When speaking to Cass about herself, she will mention she likes tough men. You can use this perk to make it clear you're not interested in her in any romantic way.

You can compliment Jack, starting the Young Hearts quest.

During That Lucky Old Sun, players with Confirmed Bachelor can calm Ignacio Rivas. If you have a low Intelligence, the Bachelor dialogue option changes to "You too tense. It wrinkle your nice face."

You can convince Old Ben to work for James Garret during Wang Dang Atomic Tango.

Players with this perk can get a discount with Jimmy at the Casa Madrid Apartments.

During How Little We Know, you can compliment a male prosttute on his 'beautiful body', and in return learn that Cachino can be found in the Brimstone bar (You can do this with any male prosttute in and around the Gomorrah, but you can only use the perk once.).

During Dead Money, after you have rescued Christine from the auto-doc, you can use the Confirmed Bachelor perk to understand that she's trying to tell you that she loved a fellow member of the Brotherhood of Steel.

Although there is no Confirmed Bachelor dialogue option, Dr. Alex Richards at Camp Forlorn Hope will make flirtatious comments towards male couriers with the perk. Upon speaking to him, he says such things as "There's my little buttercup. What can I do for you?" or "Whoa! Is it just me or did it get a little bit hotter in here?"

During Beyond the Beef, the Courier can lure Carlyle St. Clair III by proposing to have six with him in a dumpster.

man they get all the perks in this game. it just doesn't pay to be straight!

And quite scary too, lest we forget a few LCDs, some cheap domestic swill, a pickup truck and a lonely stretch of Texas road.

As i play nothing but fems if given the chance, (hot sixy ass kickers are well hot and sixy) i have one character i console commanded to be smaller if i remember correctly "player.setscale .95" (with out the quotes) and it does make a noticable drop in character size but it also makes the character less effective so a stat like charisma at "10" is as the game will see it a "9.5". This effects every aspect of game play, so a 100 skill in guns will always be 95 so it does make some sense. I played her through one time but a stat like charisma i felt should not be effected which meant i had to CC some a point of charisma "modpca charisma 1" and once you start down the CC road it is hard to know when to stop, and tricky to figure what that change will change. If i remember correctly Oblivion had stats that were different for males and females which was interesting as it was probably the first time i saw such a distinction. I am not opposed to a weaker female character in some stats like strength or endurance but a stat like charisma and perception should then be higher for fems with males suffering from those two lower stats. I am not opposed so long as it is an option like hardcoe mode is, or if this is added to hardcoe as another difficulty setting, but it needs to remain an option the player can excercise. I can see some potential complaints if it is not optional because, even though they comprise a smaller segment of the market, female players might not approve of a realisticaly based female character's limitations and may just want to kick ass just like male players do.

While the name [Confirmed Bachelor] is certainly point toward homosixuality, the dialog it unlocks points to more of a flamboyant.

And people who play female character may not want to take Black Widow just because it doesn't fit their character.

So, it is more of performance vs role.
