Remember how he insulted his driving of the suit? He knew he wasn't a genuine threat. I feel like if he did, he could've easily killed him. ​@@tntnuke659

That was a nod to the games. But I got to admit that was completely asinine even in video game logic.

That was pretty accurate to Fallout 4 settlement turrets. They can't hit shit to save their lives.

The same suit that was shown earlier to kick something into a building and obliterate it with ease got stuck in a plank of wood? Lol

​@@shmeg8695 I think they meant stuck as in the fusion core got ripped out so the suit stopped working. Maximus was stuck in a non functional suit

Honestly that makes zero sense, there has to be a failsafe that let's you out if power is depleted.

@@Mate397 Power depleted =\= fusion core being ripped out. The fusion core has a very small reserve power that allows you to use the suit and exit from it (think how a phone battery has enough battery to tell you it's dead). As far as NPCs being ejected when you take a fusion core, that's a gameplay mechanic so you don't softlock yourself if you do it to an essential NPC. It makes perfect sense

@@Snavels The result is the same no power in the suit. (also there is a point when the phone can't even display having no power) Also it's a fucking fusion core that shit can last for centuries but in the 4th game they are like disposable batteries which is just idiotic Bethesda desgin on display. There should be an analog mechanism to unlock the suit if the core is removed/power is lost, basic failsafe for something that people have to get into. We have that today. So no it doesn't make sense.

That's an excellent point. Snip Snip only thinks it has been a week or so since the bombs dropped. So it's not like he's tracking his meds for stuff that's out of date and removing it from his supply. Though I would have thought he'd have used it up previously, we don't have Snip Snip's backstory of when they found him and set up this operation.

It’s Filly. It’s an original location lmao.

He got a lot more wrong than that... you weren't paying attention to the show either.

It was a joke. -woosh- the sound of the whole video going over your head

Every time he mentioned Maximus being friends with the guy that beat the shit out of him…

Where you paying attention at all? Because The Ghoul faced Maximus in the first episode and he unloaded about 30 rounds at his power armor(which is the same as the rest of BOS) and that did nothing for he didn't seem to know it during that time and then in the finale he just knows the weakness due to a flashback scene telling us that he wear one during his time as a soldier. Yeah that is a clear sign that the writers f*cked up.

He was using the term friend very loosely. Don't go all semantics.

yea maximus said titus died running and the brotherhood being culty as is and not knowing a yao gui attack happened would assume titus was trying to steal the power armor or something

@@popepisspot1675 Let me tell you a true story. In WWII 3 German tanks came upon 1 US soldier standing in the middle of the road with a bazooka. The soldier blows up 1 tank with the bazooka and then he just stands there. The other 2 tanks sit there for a couple of minutes and then they back away from the puny squishy human who is out of ammo. Why did they do that? Because they didn't believe it could be just one guy standing there, even though it actually was. Because it's not a normal thing to just stare down tanks when you've got nothing left. Instead, they thought it was all a trap. There had to be a catch somewhere. So why didn't the BoS just attack the Ghoul? Because they didn't know what he had planned. And they were in power armor, so why should they be scared until he takes out the first guy? And then when he proves he can shoot out the armor, that's terrifying. Their tanks are no longer tanks, and they just want to get out of there.

Hell no they aren't. Most NCR npcs tell you that the main reason they are in the Mojave to begin with is because things are tough at home. They are running out of energy and food, which is their main mission in the Mojave. Securing the Hoover Dam to guarantee a steady energy source, and further develop their crops tech at Camp MacCarran to find a way to grow food with little to no water (the quest that involves the research of vault 22). Ranger Hanlon at camp golf even tells you that the NCR is stretched way too thin, and one of the recruits that has trouble adapting (from the quest where you teach them team cohesion), tells you that he got enlisted because food was so tight back at Shady sands, that his family couldn't afford to feed everyone. The rangers guarding the checkpoint that leads to the I-15, which in turn, connects the Mojave to California, tell you that caravans with resources passing to and fro' are more and more scarce as well.

@CountCocofang what a comment considering he is talking about the show which is, as he mentioned, based off the Bethesda games. So obviously that's what I'm talking about.

This is not a good thing, though. The player in a role playing game is not supposed to have universal character traits associated with it. If an RPG does that, it's less of an RPG for it. The reason why the Courier in New Vegas can't be said to have a positive attitude is because the Courier is anyone you want him / her to be.
