RPing As The Joker

Post » Fri Apr 01, 2011 7:09 pm

Okay, I was planning on starting again, and playing as a charcter based on the joker from the black knite and i was wondering if anyone could tell me if it gets boring after a while? does doing things purely for the pain of others get stale by the end of the game, or is it fresh all the way through, thnx

Are you on the PC? If you are, search up joker on the Nexus, and you'll fine some good mods for RPing.

Learn to read.


Not to be rude, but this does seem to be the running theme...

Books rock!

Io D*ck head, you don't go around insulting people on forums for BS like that!! Oh, and I'm fully award of that comic BS, I'm basing this guy on the joker as he his depicted and appears by heath ledger, that dude made that movie amazing.

And, btw, your on a forum b*tchig about rly trivial sh*t, yet your post was completely off topic, I'm asking if RPing the HEATH LEDGER Joker gets boring, not discussing Batman comics.



You're fully award? Like...the Oscar's? or the Tony's? lol XD
And apparently this guy owns an "on" =P

Anyway, you just need to ask yourself...Would playing through all of Fallout 3 with only knives be fun?

I'm going to go with no...

Also, I agree, books do rock =D

Well, you wouldn't be able to use Smile Gas (unless the mod has it) but I suppose you could use mines and grenades for all sorts of 'humorous' effects. Too bad there's not much in the way of poison except the Dart Gun. Here I'm thinking of the Joker more as he was portrayed in Batman the Animated Series and The Killing Joke than the Dark Knight movie.
At the moment I'm finding it amusing to think of all the contortions you'd put your character through to get the right 'look' in the appearance generation bit, not to mention what your dad would look like after that. The green hair would be easy, the white skin a bit problematic but more-or-less doable, the distorted grin, not so much.

1. Your post above is far more insulting than anything else said in this thread, making you a hypocrite and invalidating your argument

2. No one was discussing Batman comics, but merely pointing out that the character known as the "Joker" has a long history that you might want to consider if you're going to play a character with that kind of mindset

3. No one will be able to tell you if RPing as the "Heath Ledger Joker" gets boring or not. It's something you're going to have to discover for yourself because it's a personal preference

4. You might consider not ripping off someone else's creation and actually trying to make one of your own, which is kind of the whole point in an open world RPG

Guys, stop the arguing. It's pathetic.

On topic, I don't think playing a Heath Ledger Joker would be boring at all; causing havok and explosions in the Wasteland just because he wants to see it suffer even more sounds like good fun, in my opinion. :P

That's all well and good, but it's not the "Heath Ledger" Joker character.

Huh, why not? If I remember correctly, he just wants to see the world suffer. :shrug:

In any case, it sounds fun anyway. :P

what about a mask like the pint sized slasher mask.
in the begining of the dark night the joker is robing a bank and he has a mask not sure if it looks the same but its a clown mask.
and in the movie he uses a gun when shooting at batmans motorcycle.

It's actually a bit more complicated than that, which just ties back into the genius creation of the character. If all he wanted was the world to suffer, there are much easier, more crass ways to go about it.

Suffering for the Joker (at least Heath Ledger's Joker) is simply a byproduct of something far more desirable for him: The ability to make and shape people in whatever image he desires through carefully designed, intricate plans. It's actually debatable whether the Joker in "The Dark Knight" is actually insane, given the level of the natural genius he displays on a regular basis. He's obsessed with undermining a social order he sees as a joke, a lie, and a cover for peoples' real intentions and feelings.

Personally, I don't think this kind of character would work terribly well in the Fallout world for the simple reason that the game world isn't geared to respond to the level of diabolical, insane genius you would need to become. NPC characters don't remember times when you put a bullet in their leg and then ran off, nor can you commit acts of wanton terrorism. Given the kind of lives people live every day in the Capital Wasteland, the worst you could do to them is either kill them or make them suffer a little more, but how much more could you really add to the plight of people living in an irradiated world where death, disease, and sacrifice are as common as breathing?. There's no social order to disrupt since every community it's basically its own little society.

Ignoring the argument, without mods I guess you'd go for white skin, green hair and try and make a grin in character creation, then wear one of the business suits, and carry mines, dart gun maybe.

EDIT: The Rock-It launcher with comedy items would also work well

That's a pretty good argument, thnx for the input, but as all games NPC's AI are of course limited to the point you cant be a "psychological terrorist" of course id customise my joker (as little as possible) to make it work in the fallout universe. doing things like simply placing mines everywhere in megaton, and not even watch the carnage, just go into the saloon, have a beer, and walk outside, drunk, seeing scorched earth , mutilated bodies and A LOT of blood, laughing, and going to bed for the night.

Sadly, the joker's "essence" of being is severely limited in the fallout universe, but that's why I started this thread, thnx for your input, you rly made me think on a whole new level about how to make this dude work
