Favourite Fallout: New Vegas faction?

wastehound-voof answered:

Not Caesar’s Legion.

I kind of just do my own thing, never really picking a side. I’m one of those people who set out to play a “bad guy,” but then pretty much do good things because it’s more rewarding in-game (and because of my own moral compass in real life). But the “good” path being more rewarding game-wise has been a problem with a lot of RPGs.

It’s easy to be good in a game when the game creators steer the player into being good, rewarding you for being good, and more often than not the story is meant for you to be good in some way, shape, or form.

Title: U.S. athlete Jesse Owens salutes during the presentation of his gold medal for the long jump, after defeating Nazi Germany’s Lutz Long, during the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin.

Speaks for itself vs today

It’s also worth noting that Luz Long, the guy doing the Nazi salute, was the first to congratulate Jesse Owens after he won, and after the event they posed for photos together and walked arm in arm to the dressing room. Owens later said this about Long

“It took a lot of courage for him to befriend me in front of Hitler… I would melt down all the medals and cups I have and they wouldn’t be a plating on the twenty-four karat friendship that I felt for Luz Long at that moment”.

After the Olympics they would write letters to each other. In Long’s last letter before he was killed in WW2, he asked Owens to contact his son and tell him  about his father and “what times were like when we not separated by war. I am saying—tell him how things can be between men on this earth”.

My point with all this isn’t to say “Nazis weren’t that bad”. It’s to emphasize that you can’t judge every individual based on the government they live under. I think that’s something that’s especially relevant today, as is the salute Jesse Owens gives the flag, when so many countries around the world have awful governments that we rightfully hate. But transferring that hate towards the individuals of that country is something we should avoid.

Everyone who has heard the term “guerrilla warfare” has also briefly imagined a war made up of gorillas - this is the one connecting thread that every single one of us on this planet share, surpassing race, virtues, culture and more. If you’re ever feeling lonely, know that at one point, all of us thought this very same thought.

Hey OP, you do know that not everyone in the world is a native English speaker right?

Thanks for the murder thing tho, definitely a balanced, tame reaction to this made-up post that’s clearly not meant to be taken seriously.
