I dont get why so many people want talon company to be such an integral part of F4.. Am i missing something that makes amn unscrupulous merc company so great?
I cannot speak for others, but my reasoning is quite sound: I would like Talon Company to be in Fallout 4, but not like they were in Fallout 3, I want it to be like the factions of New Vegas, with interaction and reputation. My logic is that, in a post-nuclear world like Fallout, an entity like the Talon Company would flourish into tremendous presence, even more so in areas where no large factions had developed to create order. I mean, the Talon Company is a perfect example of the perfect post-apocolyptic business model, a moderatly sized, well-equiped paramilitary force that would be deployed at the word and monetary expense of wealthy people or groups to vy for power. I dont understand how there are no other factions like them, the Talon Company should be in Fallout 4, it fits well in the setting and, frankly, the poor usage of a faction with such potential in Fallout 3 left a bad taste in my mouth, and, seeing how very well Obsidian did with factions in Fallout: New Vegas, really fleshing them out with backgrounds and interactions, I have no doubt that, if Bethesda takes some pointers from New Vegas's handling of factions, they could be a great faction in Fallout 4.
For the love of Atom, if any of you devs are reading this rthread for idead, don't make Talon Company anything more than a regular faction in F4, if at all.
I am sure that some great takeover of the wastes could be implemented on their behalf.. but their motivation is "guns for hire".. theres no master plan there.
i would reather see a NEW faction take center stage than re-purposing Talon Company.
Excluding the "if at all" I agree on all counts.
Mako Vlazkov would feel differenlty.
? I am not some "adoring fan" that thinks that they are super duper, i like them because they make sense, i fully understand the limitations of their power.
I don't want Talon Company to be a main faction but a major faction. Have them being the most feared mercenaries in the Big Apple is great but having them being the main focus? No... I don't really think any faction should be the main focus. I think it should be divided up somewhat equally, that was one of my main problems with F3 and NV... Lyon's BoS and the NCR weren't greatly thought out and were by far the main focus of the entire game. And there could be pretty cool missions involving Talon Company, having to find out who killed one of thier hitmen after he killed the leader of a major raider group, that'd be great.
I dont think Talon Company should be a major faction, they are not strong enough to compete against the larger factions, but strong enough to assert their power in a region, they're a tool for warmaking and bloodletting, and this tool can be used for good or evil, but the end result is the mercs get paid and [censored] gets done.
