I recently accused another of “posing” for not blowing Megaton when playing an evil character. But I realize, no matter how “evil” I may be, there’s certain things I’ve never done.

I’ve stole from churches, stole from Gob, killed friendly dogs, stole from old people, beat beggars to death with my bare fist, left captives of Muties to their fate, sneak/killed friendly NPC’s, saved people from certain death only to sell them for a few caps, obliterated whole towns, enslaved children, burned living trees, sandmaned newlyweds, poisoned water, it’s been bad.

But there are a few things I’ve never done. I’ve never treated Agatha badly, and I’ve never eaten “strange meat”. I guess I’m the poser!

Is there anything you don’t plan to do, or have never done?

I have done some terrible things but I have always been kind to Gob. Never had any strange meat but poor, poor Agatha once got on my bad side and it didn't end well with her. My new char wants Vance to teach me his ways, its not really cannibalistic, is it?

The one thing I can't seem to do is pass a beggar without giving him water, seems strange compared with some of the things I am willing to do.

I've never blown Megaton up since it just does'nt make any sense to me, it's a central location and even if you don't live there you can still sell stuff to the merchants in Tenpenny Tower, but if you blow up Megaton you lose three or four merchants.

I have also never poisoned the water since i heard that if you do that drinking three bottles of aqua pura will kill you and its pretty much everywhere during broken steel so all you end up doing is hurting yourself since each bottle gives 20 hp and no rads. (if i remember right)

Also doubt i'll ever

I can't, no matter how much I hate Bryan Wilks and torture him in every way I can think of, ever enslave him. I just can't do it. I can't do it to any other kid either.

I haven't eaten 'strange meat' either. :shakehead: It never really fit in with any of the evil characters I played with, all more driven by greed (not for human flesh), revenge and and generally just causing chaos. They were maniacal, possibly more sociopathic than psychotic, as one would have to be psychotic to eat human sirloin :drool: (Survivors of the 'Andes Accident' notwithstanding).

Personally something that stands out is that I never treat a child badly, and I've always chosen the best possible outcome for the child regardless of which outcome benefits me the greatest at that time - in regards to cost and time. I've never done the Kid-Kidnapper quest and I don't even take caps from the kids at Little Lamplight as rewards. I even bought the kids from the slavers instead of killing everyone because I wanted to enslave people later, seen as I'm evil. :flame:

I can't kill three dog. I like his updates on how bad a person I am.

I don't enslave/harm kids no matter how evil my character is. A person has to have standards. I have never blown up the Citidal. I have never collared Arkansas being he is never alive by the time I do the quest. I have never opened the model house in the Gibson house

These.

And I can never kill a scavenger if there's a dog with him. Can't really explain why, but I just find it so difficult. If he's on his own, however...

I refused to enslave Flak (or Shrapnel..can't remember) They are my bros......

I don't play as a pathological nutcase, as far as I'm concerned, an amoral persomn would weigh the benefits of an act with the bad side effects. I'd keep megaton whole for the shops, only kill people if I don't like them or if it benefits me, I'm not going to kill all the shopkeepers if I'll have nobody to sell crap to, am I?

REALLY. Oh my gosh. 'Posing'?! Dear god...

I never, ever kill Dogmeat. I can't do it. I've done everything else besides kill Three Dog, mainly because I want GNR :L

I've never been able to have my character to kill or leave a wastelander captive (one of those people captured by Super Mutants).

blow up megaton without killing burke and tenpenny. just cant do it without killen them

I've blown up Megaton, let Roy Phillips invade Tenpenny tower HIS way, blew up the Citadel once, and even killed poor old Harold...But I've NEVER done the Slaver mission in Paradise Falls, particularly 'cause my character, Jayn, would never stoop so low as to enslave kids :/

That, and I'm against it XDD

Well, before the final decision, save, then just do it. It's not really worth it, IMO, just for one faction to be hostile and one weapon. So then you go back to your save and pick the other option. Then you can say you've done it :laugh:

A few things come to mind that I've never done. I've never taken the Bloody Mess perk, nor met Casdin. I have no interest in helping the Outcasts or doing that miscellaneous quest. Outcasts are sort of useful as distractions while I run in the opposite direction away from that Deathclaw or Enclave patrol.
Other things I haven't done are pick the worst, most nastiest dialogue options when chatting to other NPC's. Even when playing an evil character. I either pick the friendly or somewhat neutral option. I did try it once with Reilly, but her response made me feel bad so I reloaded and picked another.

On the other side, I've blown up Megaton, enslaved everyone on the list (and they made it), enslaved Bryan Wilks, convinced Bumble into going on an "adventure," gave a junkie some drugs so he overdosed and died, didn't help Mei Wong then later enslaved her, pushed Mr Lopez, sneaky snipe friendly NPC's, plant grenades in pockets of Tenpenny guards, Rivet City Security, Lucas Simms, random other townspeople. Choose the other option with wasteland captives (take the supplies), but have rarely left them there.
All sorts of things. I'll try anything once, except that perk and helping the Outcasts

I was going to acquire the Boogeyman's Hood, but as soon as i listened to the child slaver's conversation with Bumble and how nieve and innocent Bumble was i felt so bad i shot the slaver in the face, then went to Paradise Falls and murdered everyone there. That would be the only thing that i actually feel "bad" for. Also i never blew up Megaton. Not because i felt bad but i needed the strength bobblehead after getting Almost Perfect.

But, Bittercup, killing Three Dog is so much fun! I have a game I play with Charon to kill him. I walk up to Three Dog and punch him the face which makes him hostile and then Charon shoots him dead. :clap: And, the best part?

Sure, if you’re going to pose, go all out.

From this day hence, I’ll never pose as a poser! Yes, that means with my very next evil character I’ll kill Agatha and then crank up the BBQ. (After I’ve received my reward and listened to a song or two).


Too bad you can’t score evilness, or goodness for that matter. It’d be interesting to see who could rack up the most points in the shortest amount of time. And maybe keep a diary of sorts.

I do think your Agatha plan is a truly good one and much more creative than just setting off the Megaton bomb.

Because I disagree about the Megaton bomb thing. I think you can be evil and smart about it. I mean, I like to use Megaton for its resources and it's one of the few large settlements in the Capital Wasteland. It makes no sense to me to destroy it even when I'm playing an evil character. I'd rather kill Simms and leave the people there to deal with Moriarty than blow the whole place up. I have blown up Megaton, and would do it again with an evil character if it was rewarding to me or my character, but it isn't especially. It's too bad we can't blow up other places. That would be great. I'd bomb Dave and watch the kids scatter. That's the great thing about invincible kids. They are fun to torment.

True, true. That’s one of the first things I noticed when I went the Tenpenny route. No repairperson – man was I miffed! When you RP and don’t use fast travel, each and every merchant and/or repairperson becomes very valuable.

I was just messing with a few heads on the discussion of “evil” characters. There’s the evil-poser (those that “dabble” in evilness), evil/genius, psycho/evil, evil/sadist, evil-anarchist, and pure out sociopath, among a few.

What’s your flavor?

Never blown up Megaton, though I did a time or two allow Burke to kill Simms (before killing Burke), so I'd get a Chinese Assault Rifle all my own. Stopped doing this since I discovered how to find one in Grayditch (Fred Wilkes is dead and doesn't need his).

Never massacred any settlements other than Paradise Falls, Evergreen Mills, and Fort Bannister. very few times have I killed an innocent NPC in cold blood. Of course, I do not consider Roy Phillips innocent.

Never turned on a follower. As Ares (age 10), I pinged Dad with the BB gun a time or two. ("Son, I brought you into this world. I thik you know the rest.")

Never (as far as I can remember) failed to do anything I promised another character I would do.

Never enslaved Bumble. I did enslave Bryan once, but felt awful about it, especially with Three Dog yappipng about how nasty I was.

Never killed Sydney or Sticky, though I've lost both a few times to enemies.

Never completed "Strictly Business", though as Ares I enslaved a fair number of people (mostly raiders).

Never killed anyone for the express purpose of eating them, though I've snacked on a few corpses I killed because they were shooting at me


Let's face it, I'm a bit of a boy scout.

Now that I think about it, there's not much I'm unwilling to do.

The only thing I can think of is killing any dogs, but luckily I can avoid this anyway with Animal Friend. I can kill anyone, cut them up, whatever, but killing a dog just bothers me. :shrug:

I've never taken the evil side, and played it through, I was curious what would happen to megaton if I armed the bomb and the explosion was awesome, but I never continued from there. I'm a good hearted person and can only seem to play for the good in any game.

I've never blown Megaton and don't think that I ever could.

I have never, and don't think I ever could, killed Moira Brown. Even though I once snidely remarked that she should hop up and down on a landmine, or that I'd inflict critical wounds on her, I only responded that way to gain the quest bonus for better crit %. I know most ppl will think I'm really weird for liking Moira, but I dunno, she's just my kinda kooky. I think it's mainly the voice acting and that accent of hers. BTW, I've never taken the time to just wait inside of craterside supply, but from what I've seen, Moira never sleeps! Can anyone confirm or refute that?
