The man who survived being thrown off Grand Canyon while being lit on fire.

Joshua is a tough fucker but Ulysses has an AMR, 12.7mm SMG, grenades and eyebots.

That, and he didn't have some EyeBots to fix him up; Ulysses is nothing compared to Mr. J.

>>339669371
A lion weighs 190kg. A trillion lions weigh 1.9e+14 kg.

The sun weighs 1.989 × 10^30 kg.

[(1.989 × 10^30)-(1.9e+14)]/(1.989 × 10^30) x 100 equals 100, meaning that 1.9e+14 is roughly equal to 1.989 × 10^30. Both parties weigh the same. The resulting collision between the trillion lions and the sun would likely result in a massive amount of combustion of the lions. The sun would become much brighter and the blast would probably destroy earth.

But the sun would still exist afterwards. You need the mass of ten suns to make a black hole.

I'm just saying that if he's part of the legion when he does it, it counts as a conquest of Ceasar. He's the one who directs everybody. A general isn't credited with winning battles, the king is.
>>
>>339672332
And yet [(1.989 × 10^30)-(1.9e+14)]/(1.989 × 10^30) x 100 equals 100.

That's how you figure out percentages. You minus one thing from the other, divide it by the second thing and then times it by 100.

>>339672641
You've just calculated that the sun minus the lions weighs approximately the same as the sun, moron.

When calculating the ratio of weight of the lions against the sun, it should solely be (1.9e+14)]/(1.989 × 10^30), which is a negligible value.

Lonesome Road had the best map and mood I have ever played in a game. After that tiny town the walk is so atmospheric and perfect I wanted to play it forever.

If F4 releases one half as good as it I might start playing it again.

2 is 20% of 10.

The legions plan was always to send in their cannon fodder at first to wear way at the enemies resistence.

In roman armies these guys would be the peltasts or light archers, just there to harass the enemy or get them to engage

Then as the battle wore on and the NCR ran out of ammo or troops, theyd send in the legionaries and the centurions to mop up the enemy when they were weak.

It worked extremely well in the ancient world, except for the NCR snipers that took out the big faggots wearing capes and brooms on their heads

The NCR and the Legion had never really fought organized resistance - before then it was tribes and small towns - neither had any practical experience fighting large battles.

The only units that did have experience were the special forces because those were used heavily in scouting and other missions. Both the Rangers and the Legions' scouts demonstrated this during the game.

Sulla
Pompey
Scipio Africanus
Belisarius
Fabius Maximus
Constantine
Aetius
Narses
Cincinnatus
Germanicus
Stilicho

More to the point, Gaius Julius Caesar WAS the general that won all those battles. He was a military genius (and a lucky one at that). The Romans renamed their generals after their conquered foes as a honorific - Scipio Africanus because he conquered Carthage (in Africa); Germanicus because he destroyed the Germans and recovered the lost eagles.

I'm tempted to say something like 'the enemy within is more dangerous than the enemy outside,' but even I realize that I'm stretching. You honestly expect Bethesda to put any thought into an overarching theme? The game plays like every writer was given a slab of land and told to make something, then they threw everything into the game without consulting each other.

I feel like I'm the only person who likes Ulysses. His whole purpose narratively is to emphasise the mythology and idealogical conflict surrounding the main storyline, which he fucking nails, but everyone hates him because he's too esoteric. What's worse is that his weird highfaluten way of speaking, and emphasis on symbols makes sense from a character perspective given the influences of the Legion and their superiority complex, the customs of his tribe (their symbolic dreadlocks), and his experiences with various cultural identities (his tribes assimilation into the legion, the white legs trying to copy his braids, etc.)

Maybe I'm just a sucker for that creation-myth texture that he brings, but I feel like he gets too much shit.

>>339682389
Fine, he's trying to blow up the mojave metaphorically, by literally blowing up the areas around the mojave to weaken the forces around it, and their ability to fight as an army.
>>
>>339684935
There's plenty of better examples of mythmaking in the game i.e. Lanius, the survivalist, Graham that don't come across like Intro to Creative Writing tryhard word vomit. In theory I really like Ulysses and what he represents but in execution he's pretty shit.
>>
>>339683884
You know what irritates me in Fallout? The fact that all the black characters speak in a distinctively african-american accent despite the fact that the black dialect should be either dead, severely watered down, assimilated into the speech of entire groups, or be restricted to insular tribal groups.

>>339685231

I can see that. What REALLY ticks me off is the Irish and English accents you encounter.
>>
>>339685231
I think it' fucking hilarious that they were so adamant to pin black voices on black characters that when they realized they accidentally got a black voice actor to do Crocker's lines they just went fuck it and made the character black despite the fact that his concept art is a lily white dude.

So barring hardcore segregation between races in the vault, the "NCR accent" should be a weird mix of accents and cultures, not a series of different racial accents. Apart from maybe the Khans, Vipers and Jackals, who all left the vault early due to being dickheads iirc.

I haven't played any of the bethesda games, but it would probably be ok if they were ghouls or something. They might lose a bit of their accent, but it would make sense for them to keep it as a part of their identity while struggling not to go feral (if that's how feral ghouls work).

In the best ending they don't get sick of Daniel and kick him out, so presumably he keeps preaching. If he keeps preaching he'll eventually have to confront the misconception the Sorrows have about God, Mary and Jesus, which may eventually lead them to believing in Christianity proper and giving up the Father In The Caves as superstition. And when they do that they might just investigate further and find his terminals and read his story

Or, put another way: Maybe, maybe not

Not sure I agree with you about that. His entire story is essentially him trying and failing to protect various things in his life through brute force (e.g. killing all the vault people, not being with his family as they died, the failed c-section of his second wife), but by taking a more hands-off form of teaching and protection, he's able to encourage the Sorrows and help them grow. His status as a protecting spirit is basically the most pure form of what he was trying to be, it's a really fucking beautiful ending for him.

He also mirrors Joshua Graham's potential endings as either a ball of impotent, never-sated anger, or a protector, teacher and leader for the Dead Horses

Those Spore Carriers and Plants have been there a good 185 years, so I don't think the place is in any danger of being overrun by rampant plant life and Cordyceps-tier spore infestations

Zion's already plenty dangerous enough with the Yao Gui and Green Geckos. And the Sorrows are pretty good at killing Yao Gui
>>
>>339701636
True, but that's not why he attacked them. They were a group of violent, cannibalistic invaders to Zion, both as a physical place and as a metaphor for his peace of mind.
