mr house and bos : Fallout: New Vegas

» Thu Jan 21, 2010 7:26 am

In simple terms house vs bos house is good bos is evil simply because as house says the bos being who they are will attack him as he tries to bring back tech. They have already attacked alot of other people over tech and murdered alot of people and pillaged alot of other peoples tech.

House cant move and cant control his army over a long distance so hes only after control of whats frankly HIS already new vegas. He isnt after the bos for evil reasons he knows full well what would happen with the bos around as soon as he starts bringing back old tech.. BLAMO.

understood, but the fact remain i cannot destroy the bos without taking some bad karma....which is stupid imo if mr house is the correct and "right/good" choice, why do i take a hit with bad karma??

also if a faction is evil and im playing the good side, why does stealing from the evil side give me bad karma??

a simple way to put it is i am trying to finish with the highest standing in the wasteland (savior or whatever it is).

some things in this story line dont seem to make sense...which is a little dissapointing.

Oh its easy to finish with highest standing and still do a little evil even alot of evil. Just make sure to do alot more good and in the end do good.

As for why.. because neither house nor bos are pure evil or good. None of the factions are 100 one way or the other they all have members who are good and members who arnt.

Thats the good thing about FO:NV.
No one is clean.
Everyone thinks they are right, and the only way is there way.

No matter what path you choose you will feel slightly dirty after finishing it.

No one is good... no one is evil... everyone is just doing what they feel is best.

First question, no. Second question, I do not know, but doubt it.

If you blow up the bunker, yes. A few scribes and initiates will give you -karma if you kill them, but the majority will not change your karma. Overall, the Karma effect is very low.

well after i helped the bos, went to mr house i thought i could talk it out, i was attacked...so i kill/disabled house thinkin id just go that route...got negative karma... i dunno wut to do to take the good path;

tojka did u get bad karma for ppickpocketing?

Yes, but the negative karma only applied to the BOS, in my case. Also stealthboys seem to not work as an escape option. I guess everyone developed night vision there instead of the tunnel vision they had prior to the bomb going off.

The BOS get even angrier, for some reason, when you activate the self destruct sequence. Oh, and as someone else said, none are in a hurry to leave.
