“Have you come to nelson seeking your death, profligate?” “I came seeking yours, skirt boy” Is by far my favourite interaction

[Speech 70] Don’t be a bad guy that’s bad!!! [Terrifying presence] Im going to eat your bones.

Everyone else: sounds genuinely terrified That one Legion guy: *"brothers help"*

The only flaw with terrifying presence is there isnt enough of it

Its funny when you realise some people have this in real life. "Wouldn't you like to know, Weather-Boy" is a rare dialogue choice

I love how "I am pale Death come to bear you to Perdition" and "I came seeking yours, skirt boy" are both granted by the same perk.

[Terrifying Presence] "I can't wait to skin your carcass and use it for a bed sheet." NPC: 👁👄👁

1:12 There is also Veronica's reaction to this response. Something like "You weren't serious about the codex, right?"

Caesar: I am feared with good reason. Courier: That’s adorable.

I actually didn't know that Karl would send a squad of Legionaries in Khan Territory

Some of these threats are incredible. Telling that Vulpes guy “I’m gonna wear your head like you wear that dogs” is hilarious

3:24 I absolutely love the fact that the Powder Gangers didn't even need to hear a word from the courier. One motion and they literally start booking it for the hills.

[Terrifying Presence] basically the Edge Lord perk... fucking funny as hell tho

3:03 “shit you’re crazy” Then proceeds to ignore you and warm his hands

1:33 Legionary: "Why are you here?" Courier: " Wouldn't *you* like to know Skirt Boy."

I like how almost everyone in the Mojave doesn't understand that you're basically spiderman; you have the power to kill basically everyone, but you choose not to.

Legionaries: Brothers help me! Everyone else: scared Brotherhood of Steel Paladin for some frigging reason: *N O.*

The lines are such a great mix of awesome, cheesy, and stupidly edgy. They all have entertainment value in some fashion, I just wish you got more of them. Heck maybe even the perk could have a chance of making lower leveled human enemies flee from you.

I gotta say “I came seeking yours, skirt boy” is the greatest comeback to a legion death threat ever 😂

It's funny to see benny cower in fear.

Ah, Terrifying Presence. The skill that rewards giving in to your anger problems.

3:52 missed opportunity for the terrifying presence dialogue to be: "Joshua Graham sends his regards" if you completed honest hearts

My favorite one Is “I dug myself out of that grave to plant you in yours, Benny.”

"have you come seeking your death, profligate?" "Ive come seeking yours, Skirt boy." "BROTHERS HELP" lmfao never seen the legion actually beg for help so quickly new perk i must always have

Imagine if they had a 5 year development time

0:02 What if Cannibal also offered unique/similar dialogue? "Oh good, I was just starting to feel a bit hungry. Should I start with your arm, or your stomach?" Wild Wasteland variant: "A Legion Assassin once tried to kill me. I ate his liver with fava beans, and a nice chianti."

"I'm going to pollute the ventilation system with the stinking corpse of an NCR private." Wow that was hardcore.

[Speech 80] Let's no resort to violence, friend. We can sort this out without hurting each other [Terrifying Presence] *I will pull flesh from bone, bask in the ecstasy of your agonized screaming ringing out through ever valley and over every glade, your loved ones will face a much crueler fate, as I feast upon their innards gleefully. Men, women and children will see your mangled corpse hung from the rafters and know what awaits them in my den. I am death, and I've come for you, dear friend. Welcome me*

3:28 That's fucking terrifying 😂

3:30 this one is probably my favorite because it's disturbing just imagining what your character is actually doing since you can't see shit, if it was fallout 4 it wouldn't have been as effective unless the face was genuinely disturbing

"I've come to relieve you... but relief must follow unbearable suffering" Is hilarious.

1:39 is voice acting GENIUS

Skirt Boy is such a raw insult and I love it

Pair this with the cannibalism perk and you're top of the antagonist list in the game.

the one about polluting the ventilation system with the corpse of an ncr private was actually incredibly creative i’ll admit

One of my favorites was “i came seeking yours, skirt boy” because its funny And “i am pale death come to bear you to perdition” because its actually a pretty haunting thing to hear from a stranger when you outnumber them.

I think the best part of the terrifying presence perk is that because of who you are (the main character who can survive anything basically) you can definitely back up your threats

“Not while spines remain unshattered” is hilarious to me

7:17 That's got to be the most terrifying one Just imagine your a maintenance guy and then you see the corpse of Private Crenshaw Decomposed for 3 days

I always imagine Joe Pesci or Patrick Bateman saying these lines, best perk ever.

"You just walk into the wrong camp my friend, hand over everything you've got and we might let you live" *The courier* 🤪🗡

"spines un-shattered" is hereby one of my favorite expressions

"LIKE I'D HANG AROUND TO FIND OUT!" -Gently and calmly pushes off wall

"- Good news, private. I'm here to relieve you. - Really? That's great. I was getting so sick of this. - ...but relief must follow unbearable suffering," Dude's savage af 💀

I always enjoy reading these lines something akin to Joshua Graham's voice since his voice performance alone is worthy of 'Terrifying Presence'

3:23 "You just walked into the wrong camp, my friend. Hand over everything you've got and we might let you live." **You cock your head and grin** Scariest reply of them all. 😱😱😱 And probably accurate to the courier as well - given as to how most runs are borderline genocidal... ☠

3:08" shit you're crazy but my hands are so cold"

I never thought I’d hear Vulpes Inculta’s silent voice change at all

Damn, seeing Christine scared of C6 is heartbreaking. Of all companions she is probably the most innocent one

Poor Christine :(

"karl sends his regards" "g o o d, f r e e h e a d" "AAAIIIIEEEEEEEE" i love this game

I feel like this shouldn't be a level up perk. Its a challenge perk for killing humanoids, or a free perk at like L20 or something. Like it just becomes an actual thing where people just realise when the courier says "I'm only going to warn you once" they mean it, and handing all your guns in at the door is only going to slow the inevitable massacre

Out of everybody in the video Christine is the one that deserved to be treated like that the least.

I like how terrifying presence make people realize you’re a man with all the skills in the world and an armor-piercing rifle instead of some hobo with a gun.

Aww I was hoping you'd show Veronica when she's like "You were just kidding about that Codex thing right?"

Honestly the "cock your head a grin" one makes me laugh the most.

this is funny as hell. I'm definitely getting the perk next time

That recruit legionary is the only one who realizes how weak and easily killable legion guys are in game, he's smart, I like him.

3:24 Him just yelling "RUN" after was just hilarious to me.

Enemies with weapons cowering just bow to you outta respect for that brutal line

This is amazing, but i think it would be even cooler if all your skills/perks would be already presented in the kind of way the NPC's start to communicate with you. So, for example the terrifying presence would make everyone be careful about how they say stuff to you, or even challenge you if they are people who like to fight against tiranny.

1:45 Almost a decade later (for me), and i still find this line incredibly creepy. XD

Courier: "I will kill you" Everyone: LOL fuck off mailman. Courier: [Terrifying presence] I will kill you. Everyone: The guy with 1 strength has threatened me, run for your lives!!!

Shit You're crazy! * casually went back to keep himself warm*

The terrifying presence dialog choice seems perfect for a raider play through.

Using terrifying presence on legion members is some of the most fun I've ever had in New Vegas it's funny how they're all high and mighty until you say a few choice words and they run away like cowards they're also pretty good supply of high grade weaponry I always love getting rid of vulpes immediately it's nice having legion hit squads after you all the time it's a steady supply of high grade weaponry like the thermic Lance which I must say is Op early game Being able to ignore armor and being able to deal high damage very quickly it's op It does have a weight of 20 but not like that matters just leave other weapons behind and take thermic land that's all you're ever going to need but if you do require a range weapon the trail carbines work well you also can also get them off legion

I love how with the Terrifying Presence, even the fearsome Legion is afraid of you!

I love how with the Powder gangers you don't say anything, you just cock your head to the side and smile, and immediately realizes how big of a mistake they just made. 😅

New Vegas really had some great dialogue options

"Can you spare a few caps?" "Sure, man. Here you go. ** "

2:25 this is gold

That christine one was pure evil

[Terrifying Presence] [Explosives 75] "They're goin' ta bury what's left of ye in a soup can!"

New meaning to the term going postal

“Cock your head and grin” favorite one so far

[Terrifying Presence] No, Firelord Ozai. _You're_ not wearing pants.

The perk is basically making you into Bully Maguire

That last one was really messed up. You deserved to lose karma.

[Terrifying Presence]: I'm going to wear your face over my face then pretend to be you around everyone you know. When they finally figure it out, I'm going to feed them to rad Roaches, alive and screaming. Everyone: 0.0

"Brothers help" 😐

Those two interactions with the legionnaires at Red Rock Canyon crack me up 😄

Ahhh yes the terrifying presence perk my old friend

The *cock your head and grin* with the powder ganger was a real Redditor moment.

My heart aches for the kid who definitely said one of these quotes to his bully

For those who don't know the lore, Terrifying Presence is a perk that can be learned at level 8 with speech 70. Its usage is rare, but you can skip some of the content in key parts of the game using this perk.

Honestly the reaction to Jacklyn is pretty cool. It's such a veiled threat of absolute carnage that it kinda works as a terrifying presence...

"Like Smooth Little Baby's" Always gets me!

Those brotherhood knights really puked in their helmets? Lmao

I heard they've a plan to make FONV 2. So let's hope when the time is come,They added more of "Terrifying Presence" line along with "Low intelligent" line. First one for immersion when courrier being serious and done playing fool,Second one for pure laugh track.

I picture the courier sounding like Lucien Lachance when he says these lines.

For a second I thought Benny was gonna say “Cash me outside”.

I honestly think the Courier being like this when someone gives them shit is canon

"Every once in a while you can find a cap with a blue star on it, they're pretty rare." Proceeds to find a blue star bottle cap at every single location on the map. 🤣

"I am pale Death come to bear you to Perdition." Should be a dialogue option for every conversation when you get the perk.

I'm gonna take notes. Those lines are hilarious yet so well thought.

*fans of New vegas* "I can't believe how well VA'd all these characters are, Obsidian put a lot of polish into this game!" *Legion Explorer VA expressing concern* "Brothershelp."

I loved the Omerta Thug one when I did my first playthrough with it.

That last one is just too cruel. I could never get myself to do it.

3:56 imagine talking like you're the shit and then screeching for help when a single guy comes for you.

Thing that sucks is that with the Van Graff's if you use that skill you don't actually finish the quest. It's like a way of exiting dialogue without starting a fight immediately.
