I'm going to do random acts of goodess and random acts of evilness.

If my karma is in the middle then i'll be happy (but it always tends to slip)


I'm an agent of chaos, contrary to popular opinion chaos is not strictly evil, otherwise it wouldn't be chaos. :chaos:
That will be my main character

I'll play others tho.

My mercenary from FO3 who has survived all of the events thus far (no deaths on very hard playthrough, health gained only via rest and food items outside of combat, no stimpacks used in combat). A veteran survivor and treasure hunter of the wasteland, he moved on from DC after hearing about potential career opportunities for true wealth further west. Coming into town on the motorcycle he had purchased from Moira in Megaton, he worked as a courrier and high-profile assassin (Perforator= weapon of choice, but adept with all regular fire-arms)as well as taking various odd jobs along the way to fund his journey. Eventually, he landed in Vegas, and once-more found his skills in demand. He often wondered if he had just been lucky to make it this far, or if it had been pure skill, preferring to believe in the later, but the truth being a mix of both. When his luck ran out however and he was shot in the head, he set out to find those responsible, having lost some of his memories as a result of brain damage. Robbed of everything and needing to make connections in order to kill the ones responsible, he begins anew in New Vegas, his lust for adventure and wealth causing him more trouble than perhaps it was worth...

Survivalist.

Scavenging and just trying to make life easier, by hunting for creatures and selling their meat and a bit of exploring. I'll do what I would do in that situation. hardcoe mode activated.

I'm probably gonna be a mix of Gangster, gambler, and assassin. That just sounds ridiculously fun. Looks like a good second playthrough :fallout:

But my first will probably be a soldier who has a raider mode that kinda turns on sometimes. :evil:

It seems that i find myself at an impasse as well.

As i wander through the wastes i find myself appraising each potential reservoir of supplies i examine corpses with clinical detachment as a coroner would, though with different goals. "Could he have a safe behind the bed?" or perhaps "This appears to be a fresh kill, could it be gauls or raiders? are they still nearby?" I view my character as a survivalist, he does not take from the moral living and while he avoids confrontation he will make a effort to help those in need, or to gather supplies from nefarious characters (raiders and the like). He would prefer to make a positive impact upon the world, but is realistic in his goals. He would welcome a visitor to his fire but then he would never let his hand shy too far from his holster during the visit either.

Although my character will be quite diverse, I picked Ranger. Patrolling the wastes with a dead-eye shot and just trying to survive in the wastes as an ex-NCR Sniper.

Some kind of gun loving, silver-tongued thief/mercenary. Do what I want, it just so happens that whatever I want is directly related to how many caps you'll give me to do it. I can get the job done, but it'll cost ya.

I wasn't expecting survivalist to be so popular... lol. I see a survivalist as someone who is just trying to get by.. no real direction other than survival, in a way, kinda weak IMO (for me that is.) I'd like to have a bit of control over my destiny in the harsh mojave wastes! :P that control is called currency, so that later, when I decide to settle down, I'll not only have the killing skills, but also the currency to buy happiness :P

Honestly though, I also wish I could just play the game as a raider, and just pick off wandering wastelanders, or go around in raiding parties and take out rival gangs, or raid small settlements regularly.. y'know. actually play the role :)

oh well. I'll settle with a merc for now :P

I also have the desire to play a melee/unarmed ninja thief character. I just hope sneak works effectively in New Vegas, so that I can actually sneak around. Maybe give us the stealth suit, or a high-level perk that allows us to go nearly invisible unless caught pickpocketing, or unless attacking. something like that. that would be awesome! maybe some DLC?

I wrote in gambler since it's closest to how I'll operate. A pre-war dressed businessman who does his best to resolve peoples problems, preferably with words. He'll also do what needs to be done to appease Mr. House.

I couldn't find a thread for this so since this is sort of what I'm looking for I'm going to post some of my characters I'm planning to play as.

Thunder
Spoiler
Thunder

Male

Thunder is a very quiet man that shows a lot of respect for those he deems worthy of it.
In battle he may seem like a raging bull, but it's only a front he shows for intimidation.
He is very gentle towards the weak and tries to help those less fortunate.
But he is also very cruel, in his own complicated way he will slaughter those he deems to not be worthy of the precious thing called life.

S 8 (10)
P 4
E 8
C 6
I 5
A 4 (2)
L 5

Traits
Heavy Handed
Bruiser

Tags
Melee
Barter
Sneak

Companion choices
unclear.
Cass or Veronica are potential candidates.

Faction Alignment
Caesars Legion
(Any tribals)
Thunder believes in the dark age. He believes that the technology is the reason for mans downfall.
Any faction that has that agenda is the one he will join, no matter how they try to do it.
Because he believes that the end justifies the means.


Suicide
Spoiler
Suicide from Return Of The Living Dead.

(Have to re-watch the film, can't remember what his personality is like, but I imagine it's a true brute.)

S 8
P 7
E 7
C 6
I 4
A 4
L 3

Traits
Jinxed
Bruiser (If it's back)

Tags
Melee
Lockpick
Survival

Companion choices
Well, just about anybody, he has no real preference. A friend is a friend no matter if they're sadistic bastards or friendly hippies.

Faction alignment
Suicide don't care about any bigger picture.
He cares about friends and family, but anyone else can just [censored] right off.
Caesars Legion, whatever.
NCR, piss off.
House, heh, he'll most likely want to take him down just because.


Jimmy T
Spoiler
Jimmy T

Male

Jimmy T is a youngster punk, a rat, a low-life crimninal.
He's always wanted to have what he couldn't have.
Living in the slums of New Caanan the rich and more fortunate always stepped on him and the other less fortunate.
His dad had left him a long time ago, before he could even talk at the age of 3, his mother died at the age of 8.
As he didn't have the means to live, no money, no shelter, he had to steal.
It started small, stealing a mutfruit once or twice a day to get by.
But as he stole more and more he started to figure out how to evade people and stay in the shadows and how to knick stuff without anyone noticing.
He became friends with a gang who went on several missions througout towns in the wastes, stealing their way to the top.
Until they stole from the wrong person.
Jimmy was out drinking and [censored] a [censored] while it happened, someone killed the whole gang.
When he returned he saw the room of blood and corpses and ran away.
He ended up in the Mojave Wasteland at the age of 24 and tried to go legit.
Took up a job as a courier.
And then he was shot.
After being rescued by Victor and Dr Mitchell he knew what he was going to do.
If he can't go legit, then he will steal every single [censored] thing of value in the wastes, and kill the man who shot him.

Skilled

Tags

Companion Choices
Lily

Dr Samuel Fresco
Spoiler
Dr Samuel Fresco (Miguel Frank Samuel Fresco the 3rd)

Male

Dr Samuel Fresco is a very impatient man, he believes things need to be done quick rather than for them to take time.
Which is why he don't like to stay around his patients all too much and rather take risky quick solutions rather than taking a safer longer procedure.
Fresco does not believe in kindness, he's seen too many evils around the wastes and knows that every single man woman and child will do something horrible
if their pushed into a corner with no way out.
He does not believe in his fellow man, only believes in himself.
Egocentric and on the verge of being delusional he proclaims himself as gods gift to earth.
He came on a caravan to Vegas from Boulder but on arrival he was mugged and beaten up for all he was worth.
Knowing the harsh wasteland he knew he couldn't get around without any money, so he signed up to deliver a package with the Mojave Express.
"Should be easy enough" he thought to himself.
But once again he was proven right when raiders kidnapped him and a man shot him twice.
After waking up in Mitchells office he just waltzed straight out of there and wandered the wastes for a couple of weeks in depression.
And after thinking through what he was going to do with his life, he figured it out.
He's going to test each and every wastelander he could find, and if they failed the test, he will kill them.
To eradicate the lesser humans.
To ensure the safety of those who deserves it.
His killing spree is just starting...

I plan to complete at least 3 times, perhaps more. So in no particulate order.
A ranger/soldier/sniper/hunter style character.
And gambler/assassin/gunslinger style character.
And a mercenary/merchant style character.

But that would depend on what I have yet to see or try out.

My character will be a survivalist, she will be focused on trying to survive in a harsh time while seeking the truth behind the package she had been asked to deliver, and which she had been left for dead for when shot.

She'll be helping out who she can, defending herself when she must and generally doing what she must to survive.
