Why?

They did nothing bad to you, and one of the residents even saved your life.

I guess having a gang of pitifully weak idiots hating you would be a reason, but still, I can take them down in a shot or two.

Why?

Well, you could role-play that your Courier was a member of the Powder Gangers before he/she was shot in the head.

Or you could do an evil playthrough just to see what its like :shrug:

But still, They saved your life.

If you were roleplaying as a Powder Ganger I'd ignore the mission, if you were evil, I'd still help Goodsprings.

They saved your life, you can't just kill them.

I role played as one of the greatest mercenaries in the wasteland who was embarassed about being shot in the head and left to die so I slaughtered Goodsprings to erase my past.

And you are wrong, evil people who do evil things just for the hell of it wouldn't care whether they saved their live dozens of times, they would still kill them for laughs.

Hmm, also kill Goodsprings = tons of alcohol from raiding the saloon

Then you repair ED-E and have him be your portable liqour storage while your busy drinking yourself into early liver failure.

Like 20 playthroughs and have never sided with the gangers.

Cheers

Because it is just. They are low-life scum who don't deserve to live.

To be super-dee-duper evil I guess? I did it once and it was lame and upsetting. :sadvaultboy: I only did it to see that Goodsprings end slide would be.

You shouldn't be Vilified by the Gangers, in fact they should be greatful.

You killed off the stupidest of them, I mean trying to take over a town that is the temporary residence of a guy who was shot in the head and got better.

With my heavily modded NV I think it's good to not have them kill me whenever I pop my head out.
Oh and more quests.
Goodsprings has 1. PG has like, 3? And one which is rather long.

I help the Powder Gangers....lose their positions in V19 and NCRCF

I fixed ur emotie...

It's included for people who like to choose sides and roleplay meaningfully.

Y'know.

Like in an RPG.

I am literally astounded that someone can complain that a game gives you MORE options to choose from.

Also, Trudy's clothing. When I first played I sided with Goodsprings and she died and I got to wear her pretty pretty dress! I didn't realize then that many other people had those pretty pretty dresses. <_<

I've never helped the Gangers. Joe Cobb is one dumb [censored].

My legion gal is mad. No joke, Doc Mitchell fixes her up and she kills him.
Sunny Smiles teaches her some survival techniques and she kills her.

Ringo asks for some help and she betrays him, kills him, the whole town & the Power Gangers.
Including the whole correctional facility full of them. Why did I help them then?

Because my character is mad and paranoid to an extreme. She even went and killed Caesar.
Who was by the way applauding her psychotic slaughterfests, but she doesn't like that.
However you can't just kill a Caesar without getting a whole army after you.. you need to do it sneakily.

[Really, she's an RP excuse for me to play a character who slaughters most of the Mojave. Yup.]

Good lord Daroska!

...

That sounds fun.

For Role Playing really. I did a play through where I helped the Powder Gangers do everything, and then betrayed them for the will of Caeser. In the end the degenerates died, Goodsprings and Primm got destroyed and I sold tons of good armor. Really the only time in game I've had a problem Role Playing is working for Caeser. That piece of [censored] man child.

No idea, even when I'm being decidedly evil I don't help the Powder Gangers. Bastards shoot at you even if you join them, worst faction in the game.

The real problem is that they aren't unified AND that the game doesn't show the difference between the types of Powder Gangers. For example, why would the Powder Gangers of Valut 19 care about me killing the Powder Gangers on Highway i-15? And a better question is how would they know?

I do the first two quests of "I fought the Law" non-violently then betray them to the NCR....the Vault 19 Powder Gangers never gave me any grief about it. I also like to convince the V19 branch of the gang to join the Khans so the whole lot is out of my hair once the Khans depart for Wyoming.

I helped the Powder gangers once and I felt really bad. I erased the game data.

Well, seens how its a video game, it dont matter. There still "alive" on disk. :wink_smile:

Stop being such a crybaby...

It's only a game, deal with it...

Stop being such a Troll...

It's an Opiniated Forum, deal with it...

overall, There is not an absolutely positive format or even ANY good format on Powder Gangers. I don't mean the whole "bad karma' thing, I mean that when you side with them, you would notice that their faction is just horrible. No chance of survival, pretty much idiotic and almost as stupid as Fiends. You can try to help them out as much as you can, but even if you side with a faction and complete the game, the slides are always boring when it comes to them. "they stayed in one place and raided (until eventually as everyone knows, they got pwned by any of NCR, Legion, or even House)." I mean, really, they are just a bunch of idiots who can't even live off the land. Might as well get rid of them and move on.
