Cazadores.

I watched a video about that 'mon on't internet, and I needed the Mysterious Gift to catch it, the Mysterious Gift was two years ago for me (Because I STILL play Pearl.) so it's pretty unfair

Back on topic, Ulysses.

Not just Ulysses, though, oh no... His pesky Medical Eye-Bot, too. I cursed so much at that specific part of the game.

Couriers fade and monsters die. No, the most dangerous thing in the Wasteland is war. Because war...War never changes...

Oh you did NOT just remove Raul from the list...

there will be blood!! also spike whats this a doghouse i'll just check it out and thus the courier was never heard from again

Ohhh I did, and Cass. Both of which don't seem to possess in boss like traits that make them dangerous, not even high HP.

Raul is one of the fastest guns in the west (with some of the hardest hitting guns in the west...), and have you heard his stories?
I'm willing to bet that if you put him 1v1 against the Legate, Ulysses or Graham while wielding a Medicine Stick, he'd hold his own.

I can understand taking Boone off, but cmon. Of all the people and all their backround stories, Raul is definitely in the top 5 on the list of people that survived the most ridiculous odds like badasses.

Have you heard the story of the Loch Ness monster?
But really though, he has aged since those days and lacks so much moral I think he was almost suicidal. (Only done his quest once ages ago).
Thats it though, he's only good if you give him a good weapon that he otherwise wouldn't have, and he is only good once you boost his moral and tell him old people still have talent. Otherwise he's a washed out old prisoner, everyone else I mentioned holds their own, doesn't need assistance to be dangerous, and have staggering SPECIAL and Stats.

I did take off Boone, but I left Raul because of the Old Vaquero perk giving him +33% rate of fire with Revolvers and Lever Action Rifles. Giving him the Medicine Stick does make him pretty badass.

The reason why I added Cass, and I have mentioned this fact many times on this forum, is because you can very easily get both of her quest perks. Calm Heart(+50 HP), Hand of Vengeance(+15% Damage with all Guns), Combat Armour and the Medicine Stick gives me no doubt that she could hold her own against Ulysses.

Oh, if we're going down this road, I list Veronica. Nothing like watching her punch the legendary deathclaw to death before it can react. Anybody who can beat that thing in hand to hand combat deserves serious respect.

"Reach for the sky Mister."

Cazadores. I would say the majority of the times I died it was freaking cazadores.

Legendary bloat fly is the strongest. Then I believe x-42 giant robo scorp. The deathclaw alpha male. Never have killed the LB though. Stayed away from him.

Cheers

Legate Lanius running at you with the Blade of the East is pretty intimitating. I don't care how easy it was for you with a gallant laser.

And Joshua Graham, but only if you know what happened to him.

I want to revise my contribution. The Codex. If not for the Brotherhood's myopic fixation on the letter of the Codex, rather than its spirit/intention, there would have been far fewer deaths, a faster and more stable recovery from the war, and a much safer wasteland overall. So the Codex has become a scourge.

I still think little miss Roni is the most dangerous, though...entirely because I really did watch her punch the legendary deathclaw...to death. Scary girl, especially since the GECK apparantly lists her as 15.9 years old.

I would have taken Boone off as well. I'm noticing a common denominator here, Medicine Stick. That weapons is not their default, nor is it even theirs.
I took them off because they need the Couriers assisstance to be dangerous, before the Courier Raul was a broken prisoner and Cass was a drunkard washing her sorrows. Neither of which in those scenarios pose any threat, all the others however are dangerous from the get go.
Even with those perks and MS Cass would struggle againist Ulysses, hell I did...spam stimpaks on me will ya, NO! Because thats my technique!!

I'll name some things through the perspective of my Courier.

LR Satchel Charges. Even with a 100 in Explosives, they go like *beepbe..booooom* Hated them.
Lobotomites with Hunting Rifles. They open fire on you from miles away, and hit with deadly accuracy
Giant Radscorps at lower levels with shoddy equipment. Always *veeeeery fun*....not.
Rocket firing Sentry Bots, just when you're busy with someone else.
Ghost People with Gas Bombs

Another fix.

NO. Raul is a badass, end of story. Give him Medicine Stick with SWC rounds and you'll see what I mean. (I know you say that it's not his default gun, but he didn't have a very powerful default gun because he was a prisoner)

Also, consider his past, what he has survived, how long he has been alive etc. and you won't be able to deny that Raul is a badass god-tier character.

You added Boone back and didn't include all the super duper guys from my list
I'll need to see who Mercy is but Randell Clark is a good add

No, he does not get Medicine Stick, he does not get his perks or fancy outfit.....He gets to be Raul Tejada, that very ghoul you find in the cells of Black Mountain. Joshua Graham, Gaius Magnus, Colonel Royez, Legate Lanius, etc do not need any Courier intervention to be God Tier, because they are God Tier. Raul is you like is Jesus to the rest of characters, he isn't quite God but has the potenial to be near-God.

Being a badass isn't the same as being a God Tier, and after reading up on his past he seems nothing more than an average joe with a trigger finger, all he did was kill X amount of raiders and some people who burnt his original house, all for revenge continously during the attacks he was breaking down and losing confidence in himself before finding Tabitha's signal.....doesn't sound like a badass anymore

That seems like a stupid point though.

If you take it to an extreme, the Courier isn't badass because he doesn't grow up to be a badass without the love and support of his mother. Until he gets that, he's a helpless infant.
Raul is what he is. Before the Courier, he's already survived some crazy [censored] and after the Courier he's one of the fastest guns in the west....AGAIN. And the Medicine Stick isn't a "common denominator" because the thing is Raul gets far more benefit from it than other NPCs; that's the difference.
Raul. Is. Badass. He is God Tier worthy.
