Toughest Moral Decision? : Fallout: New Vegas

» Sat Sep 25, 2010 9:23 am

Which decision in F:NV did you have the toughest time making? For me, it was telling Lily how much of her medicine to take.

Spoiler

When you think about it, she's been suffering for centuries. Can you imagine your innocent little grandmother being dragged off by monsters and mercilessly mutated by them? And then having her be forced to be a soldier for them? Then there's the schizophrenia but still being so nice to you. And the way she was still listening to the tape of her grandchildren centuries later just to remember their faces almost, *almost*, forced a man-tear down my cheek.
I eventually told her to keep talking half her dose, since I felt I had no right to tell what to do with her memory, since she has essentially been in Hell for hundreds of years, I couldn't bring myself to tear away her only happy memories left.

To kill Benny or not, and saving the hostages or not.

Mine was HOW to kill him, I couldn't leave or head be crucified, so the most fair way I decided was machetes at 20 feet

This really belongs in the spoilers section.

saving the hostages or not.

Spoiler

How is that tough? you free the hostages and let the Khans go free, no body dies. Or do you mean different hostages?

Just for my own character sake, I even chose the worst moral decision ever (and thats counts all the other Fallouts too)

I've murdered people, betrayed people, sold people out, accepted bribes, bribed people, tortured people, tricked people, manipulated people, blackmailed people, stole from people, framed people, and contributed to or caused the death of at least 100 innocent people. On the bright side, I have a lot of money.

tl;dr: He did alot of bad things...but hey...he has a crapload of caps.What worries does he need?

I am with you man. Kill the Van Graffs then rob their store for energy weapons. It'll be well worth it.

To kill Benny or not,

This. I mean he was kind of a [censored] for shooting me in the head but for some reason i want that [censored] to be alive.

EDIT: Seriously those are considered swears? :glare: <_<

I'm with the OP on his. That's a toughie.

Benny not so much, he tried to kill me. Twice.

Spoiler

I had a hard time determining what to do with Chief Hanlon

For me, Hard Luck Blues. Though Lily was a tough one too.

» Sat Sep 25, 2010 7:03 am

Being nice to caeser and his pompus response.

the only moral choice i had to deal with was which vendors to leave alive so that i would have enough ammo to crush the entire mojave wasteland muhaha

Believe it or not, my first struggle in the first game was what to do about helping Boone with the person who sold his wife into slavery. If the evidence hadn't been clear, I don't know if I could have done it. As it was, I rationalized it by thinking that it was the only way for justice to be done but I didn't like being part of judge, jury, executioner. If I'm attacked, it's one thing but being a bounty hunter and/or assassin is not something I enjoy doing. Deathclaws on the other hand...

Deciding if placing Dinky's on the Bittersprings graves was tasteful or immoral.

There was no real tough decisions for me. As soon as you reach Nipton it becomes pretty obvious that the Legion are Baddies....Although deciding if it's better to kill or disable Mr.House was hard,=.

NEITHER ARE THE BETTER CHOICE. :cryvaultboy:

Agonizing over which dialogue choices to choose during Boone's companion-quest bits because I wanted him to have a (relatively speaking) happy ending.

Other than that - shoot first, ponder the implications later. Or reload. I'm not much of a role-player per se.
Not that I didn't spend some time wondering which direction I wanted to go in....they just weren't what I'd consider moralistic struggles.

Killing Major Kiernan and her men when I knew she was only trying to help people and the King would not have wanted her killed if he had known the truth I deliberately withheld from him.

Toughest moral type decision? Whether to offer Santiago a job immediately after I jammed a fist into his face for owing money to the Garrets. Was that in bad taste? Should I not have done that?

"You owe the Garrets some money, pay up"
"Sir, Santiago does not owe anyone"
*Punches Santiago square in the face*
"Ok! Ok! Don't hurt me! I will pay!"
"Good. By the way, the Garrets are hiring, want to work for them?"

» Sat Sep 25, 2010 11:16 am

Seems to me you were just helping Santiago out...the Garrets aren't people you want to be owing money to.

» Sat Sep 25, 2010 3:15 pm

Join the Legion or............ Yes Man,,,,,, or,,,,,, if neither of those, I rather nuke the whole Wasteland, just for the evulz

Hard Luck Blues was briefly a problem, until I realized if I save a few, hundreds starve - plus I had to go with the info I had. I didn't know if they were still alive or if that was an old message. (Now I know, but I'd still make the same decision.) Currently it is whether or not to kill the BoS. First I didn't care, then I liked them, then I did Veronica's quest.

That's the only thing that really gave me pause. Still does. I always save the many, but it occurs to me me that I sort of want the many to leave the wasteland...

Killing or disabling mr house was a definte toughie. I eventually decided to kill him but not after 20 minites of fretting

Hard luck blues is difficult, but i thought there were just feral ghouls or bodies which had died of age in that area, i didnt know people were actually alive

the garrets are nothing ...

anybody with a gun can take out two persons
