I thought they where redoing the Karma / respect thing . When I am max leveled killing anyone I choose, an unstoppable killing machine why do the stupid Viper gunslingers and fiends still attack me . I want to sneak up on a camp site and hear ghost stories of the evil courier 6 reborn after death , walking the waist an unstoppable killing machine so feared even death claws run and hide . I want towns to pay tribute to me in HOPES I don't kill to many . I want to see NCR hardened soldiers drop their gun crap their pants and run away . Only the most deadly , crazy or brain dead should be willing to face me . I feel like no matter how many people I kill I get no respect !

Yeah, well I want Veronica to be the leader of the BoS

and if you respect people just because they kill a lot of people... those people are usually psychopaths

I feel like no matter how many people I kill I get no respect !

Not surprising.

Terrifying Presence should make minor raiders like Vipers run from you if you didn't attack them.

I know how you feel. It could had been a great aspect of gameplay if your character is known for his evil deeds and bad enough karma Wasteland wide. Vise versa for good karma.

I dont think that Terrifying Presence should require speech, maybe it should mulitiple alternative requirements, Speech / Low Charisma / High STR / or just a level requirement.

That would be great if Terrifying Presence was a tattoo like mark on any gear you wear that causes all who see it to fear you some more than others

Well the vipers, jackals, and fiends are drug-addled psychos. They'll attack anyone if they think they'll find loot. They don't know or care who you are.

false, only the fiends are drug addled psychos. all of the raider gangs actually know about what's going on in the wasteland (if you use a Stealth Boy and listen to the conversations they're having they actually talk about relevant stuff)

Well, what I said still holds true. They'll attack you if they think you have loot because they're raiders, then.

But why would Raiders jump on a pair of Power Armoured people?

Because the game wouldn't be fun once your feared :confused: Or because they really really really want that power armor

If the Megaton Settlers attacked the BOS

Why not raiders XD

Actually, you are feared at one stage.

theres a gang of about 3 with 10mm pistols and lead pipes. In walks the courier, armed to the teeth with a guass rifle, AMR, riot shotgun, unique tesla cannon, and is armoured with power armor.

they attack.

see something wrong with this picture?

It'd be nice if enemies had some kind of threat-assesment capability. and would run and hide rather than try to take on insurmountable odds.

But if you outnumber someone 3:1 and have had good luck in past battles some raider's might become over cofident. My point is people are a lot more bold the more there is of them. So a group if five fiends should still attack you, some sort of of system that makes them braver the more there are and this threat-assesment could work :thumbsup:

I think if you walk into, say, the Monte Carlo in with Remnants Power Armor and a Riot Shotgun, all the gang members would get on their knees and plead for mercy.

That would be interesting.
