Sue me :whistling:

Be careful where you say that, sometimes people will take you literally and these days you can sue someone over anything.

hahaha..good luck with that. I'm poorer than a stack of dead water beggars.

Anyway back on topic...it is kinda annoying that even interesting characters such as Charon and Clover...with tons of potential for background story,didn't even get so much as a hint about their background.

Sydney on the other hand, is the only one with a clear background story.And she's only a temporary comapnion ( except if you're playing on the PC, where you can use the amazing Sydney companion mod )

So yeah...i definitely would LOVE to learn more about their stories. But until then, making up stories about their background is kinda fun too!

I think of Jericho and Clover as the difference between pure evil and just plain crazy. Jericho is just a sociopath like all Raiders and he has no respect for human life and spent his youth sadistically torturing and killing wastelanders for their valueables. He claims to be "reformed" only because he's too old to hang out with Raider gangs, but he has yet to actually leave his bad habbits behind such as when he almost [censored] Jenny Stahl.

I would take anything you found on Moriarty's computer with several grains of salt.

The difference between these two followers is that in one case, you've got a submissive, traumatized slave to do your bidding. This slave whines a lot and her lines show some sort of personality disorder - eager to start a fight, then crying for help instantly, then immediately eager to initiate another fight, and then immediately bored. In the other case, you've got someone who's lines show that he's happy to be out on the road and who definitely does not do anything particularly evil unless you start to go on a rampage, yourself. His lines and behavior are consistent and show that he's got a solid, mature personality, which isn't particularly evil at all.

The first option may be pleasing for some male phantasy scenarios or something, but I'd hate to have someone like that around in my game.

OK so a couple of things on Moriarty's terminal are most likely crap, but I think that the stuff about Jericho and Leo are true because they have evidence to support them. Leo is a junky and will admit it if you ask around, we all know that, and since Jericho used to be a Raider (the kind of people who wear "sadist" armor), and every time he and Jenny talk she acts uneasy around him it seems very likey that he did at one point try to sixually assault her. I don't see how he's not particulary evil just because he quit hanging around Raiders because he's too old. It's like the old saying "Leopards don't change their spots".
