It seemed to me that Talon Company was sent to map out the DC ruins. They possibly could have been looking for something in the Capital Building.

Like I said before.......... If you approach a Black Water merc in Iraq you will not get hired. You will get a gun pointed at you and told not to come any closer. If you keep walking to them they will kill you.

They are not paid to make friends or hire. They are paid to guard stuff and kill people. A warning is all you would get.

Put Black Water from now in fo3 DC you get Talon Company.

They will not take a chance of getting killed to hear what someone has to say. They are no played to be friendly.

In fo3 there is no US military, so the shoot first policy makes sense.

Go to Iraq put on some combat gear and start letting people just walk up to you......... See how long before one kills you.

While I agree with what you are saying, it is sad that it is in application to give TC near nothing in interaction, no spokespeople, no market, nothin; and therein lies the rub, the entire reason they are in the CW is that they were hired "by an unknown third party(straight up bad writing, when the lore behind something is "I dunno lol") to cause chaos in the Capital Wastes".

Am I the only one who thinks that when they start developing Fallout 4 J.E. Sawyer is going to walk into the developing room and say "you guys aren't going to belive some of the things those crazies on the forum have come up with for Talon Company. There's even one guy on there who drew up a contract and everything for them."

And oh what a happy boy i would be if they made Mako Vlazkov the Regional Commander of the Midwestern Talon Company, what a happy boy i would be, indeed. :spotted owl:

But i really hope they take some notice of my view on Talon Company, and decide to flesh them out a bit.

I believe the implication is that an unknown party is paying Talon Company to keep Capital Wasteland a lawless place. Its never mentioned in game but something that was sent to the makers of the Prima guide.

I've been pondering how to include Talon Company into by fanfic Fallout Journey's. On one hand Talon Company is pretty cool. On the otherhand it takes place in 2294. I don't know if they'd have survived that long if they kept going after the Lone Wanderer or really how to have them appear.

P.S I suggest a small amendment to your contract

As lets face it the latter is probably more of a threat then the former.

I don t see much success except what the devs made them have before the game started. Now fo3 Enclave came out and had success. Took over the map BOOM. That is success.

Who ever controls the map is having success. In nv its NCR.......

Not to mention they already beat cl once. War isn t a football game it isn t any givin Sunday. Who ever has the best [censored] will win every single time. Vietnam being the exception, but that war had a serious amount of different political strings attached.

Make no mistake about nam though......Vietnam confirms that the U.S. kill 750,000 to 1.2 million (some of those numbers are "non combatants")

The US lost 58 000. We lost the objective for many reasons.

Survived, and thrived, my friend. :disguise: Business is good, as usual. Times may change, but guns and money will always be important, as long as the people with the guns and money say so.

Rook, you do know that NCR barely won the first time, and are currently damn near close to losing?

And don't bring up Nam unless you know what you are talking about, and you don't want to get me started on the subject, just ask Ace.

I amended by post to include
"I don't know if they'd have survived that long if they kept going after the Lone Wanderer."

Another example of some poor writing, "Yes, 1000 caps for the man who has killed an army's worth of men." Like it was for any reason other than to keep the player in good supply and having plenty of ACTION!

It might have just been barely but we still held, in the end thats all that really matters.

And no dont bring up Vietnam please, that whole subject shouldn't even be talked about here anyway.

But, you didn't hold it, you lost it, the Legate just got cocky, and you had to blow up one of you own entire towns just to retake it.

So we technically lost Vietnam, but none of the reasons for the loss had anything to do with the men that fought that war 750 000 to 58 000. Seems like the overwhelming fire power did a fine job once again.

NCR seems attached to the dam. There is no World News Tonight with Walter Cronkite sp ? to get NCR hippies to start protesting, and there are no nuclear powers backing CL to stop NCR from sweeping them like what happened to the men that fought in Vietnam.

We only bombed North Vietnam for like 2 weeks in a 10 plus year war, because we were worried about the Russians and China getting involved first hand.

None of that is present to hold NCR back.

So obviously there is something else holding the NCR back, and do you know what that is? The Legion.

Presumebly the 1,000caps would be before you started killing them by the dozens they just never updated the contract.
It be nice if the bounty kept racking up
2,000caps
5,000caps
10,000caps
50,000caps then finally
Run
Maybe you could read my fic and offer some advice where I could add Talon Company in the future.

You'd think eventually they'd just say, "[censored] it, go apologize."

I'm not one for fanfics, sorry.

A brilliant strategical move is what that was, the battle was basiclly a draw until Graham sent the best the Legion had to offer straight over the dam. All the NCR had to do at that point was fall back to Bolder City and detonate the explosives, took out most of the Legion right then and there. That move alone saved who knows how many soldiers lives and crippled the Legion to the point of retreat, hell its taken them a good five years just to recover enough to mount another attack.

I see your point, but I think the Legion learned a lesson you may end up regretting teaching them, sadly.

Very true, too bad we're stuck with a piss poor leader like "General" Oliver who would rather sit there on his hands than actually be proactive against the Legion. If his ego could get taken down a notch and actually listen to people like Moore and Hanlon (who basiclly is responsible for winning the first battle anyway and actually cares about the people under him) then this would be a much easier fight to win.

Seemed planned to me. They rigged the town in advance and lured the dumb melee oriented cl to get blow up. lol lol.

Once again the NCR is playing defence. Good luck to cl getting across that river in a lore battle. NCR already knows where the main points they will be coming across at.

Why would NCR attack them? They already hold what they want.

We ve already been through all this. Don t make me look up the battle of Somme again remember over 50,000 casualties in a 24 hour period. Stopped the offensive 5 months later 3 miles short of the 1st day objectives. They had equal firepower too.

History tells us it is nearly impossible to do what cl is trying to do. Out tached out equipped.

I have really good training in painting cars. Will I be a good mechanic?

CL is really good at sword fighting. Will they be good at modern warfare?

1st battle says no. Real life says no. In game equipment says no.

Going across the river? They are already across! They took Nelson and razed Niption, in sight on the Mojave Outpost, they have already invaded, but Oliver is too stupid to realize that they are taking the Dam out from under him.

2 deathclaw alpahs vs 100 fiends
