I am confused over being a Paladin.. Why is it a position you can just join? Fallout 3 messed that up and New Vegas continues it. Fallout the one that started it all you can only become an Initiate the lowest rank. They send you on suicied mission and they only make you the lowest rank. Tactics backs that up, you start out as an Initiate. Fallout 3 and New Vegas they just make you a Paladin :blink: So its a rank and a position?
(Styles, Lyons made the Lone Wander a Knight, using the CWBoS Rank system, that is not that high. In NV they make The Courier a Paladin for making Shadow puppets on the wall.
In the East Coast, it is more of a rank, one step above initiate, while on the West coast it is like a Caste system, one step above junior paladin. If you need more clarification, let me know, as this Knight Sergeant has been studying on the topic.)
