What was the point of this character?

To inform you who won the lottery.
>>
>>336027650
To win the lottery.
>>
For me it was like a morality tester because I had no caps and only a pistol and when I learned he had a supposed ticket I killed him and took it. Then found out it vendors for like 20 caps.
>>
it's a psychological test. devs wanted to see how many people would just kill him outright and check his pockets for what it could be that he was so happy about winning

you didn't kill him, did you /v/? because that would make you worse than the legion guys
>>
If I were Obsidian?

You see smoke and fire in the town ahead, and you see some powder ganger, who your most probably hostile to, run up to you and tell you he's won some gay lottery.

It's probably to build the players curiosity. Build an atmophere.

To have good enough fortune to win a competition based entirely on luck, where the point was to take a ticket, and your place would be based on the position in which your ticket was drawn in comparison to other, similar tickets.
>>
>>336028824
This is a pretty great explanation.
>>
To test you. Some people murder Oliver on their first playthrough because they think they can loot him for a fuckton of caps or the winning ticket. Then they proceed to the town and realize what they did. Then subsequent playthroughs everyone kills him because he's a cunt.
>>
>>336028824
I WON THE THE FUCKING LOTTERY!

Okay, see you later

*BLAM* *BLAM*

I actually did.
Didn't bothered to check his pockets though, it was just for kicks.

I followed him to see where his newfound freedom would take him, or see if he'd lead me to some kind of lottery minigame that I didn't know about

Turns out he just gets eaten by like 12 radscorpions in the desert

the first time i encountered him was actually when i was leaving novac so i had already figured out the lottery he was talking about. i left him alone, didnt really care even if he was powder gang
now that guy in one of the buildings on the outskirts who was a turbo dickhead who asks for drugs... felt like killing him but ended up not doing it. his dialogue, though a slight abrasive, was amusing

HH is my favorite expansion.
Daniel's story is a tragic one. He is an idealist with a good heart but his ideals are ultimately detrimental to those he is trying to protect. Even when you chose the objectively best ending (side with Joshua but talk him down from murdering salt-upon-wounds) he becomes troubled and restless knowing that he was not needed to make that happen and he was is no longer needed by the people that once thought so much of him.

Pity Daniel, he is a good man.

I thought it was to allow the player to shoot Yuri Lowenthal, not a morality test.

Bullshit. Lanius's brutality will keep the current 86 tribes in check, but he wouldn't be able to proceed West and conquer the NCR AND keep them as subjects with his brutality and mindset. Caesar would, as he says, change and be less draconian as he goes Westward to newly conquered societies, and likely retain them. Lanius fits Caesar's domestic and foreign policy to enemy and subjugated tribes perfectly well.

The fuck was the point of the entire powder gang?

I waste those assholes at the start of every playthrough.

>>336038818
HH is only good for 4 things, and that's because you can get them at lvl 1.

Desert ranger armour,
Survivalist rifle
Joshua's armour,
Tommygun.

in that order.

>>336027650
It's showing how the legion chose one person to live with a lottery to tell the wasteland about what happened.

They're simply an introduction to the Reputation system before you meet the big factions that actually do matter.

It's also why "GoodSprings" is considered a faction despite being a small town with a lot of nothing.

I helped them down. With my baseball bat. To their legs.
>>
>>336043667
they were in a quantum state where the only possible outcome was death. therefore I suppose they were always dead the moment they were too weak to take off the cross.
>>
I can't believe how easy it is to kill the legionnaires in that town. On your way up the road you run into those gang members with all the grenades stashed in that box. When you get into the town go into vats and throw all the grenades at them and they die before a shot is fired.
>>
>>336041965
Not so lucky after all
>>
>>336043942
It's just a bunch of Recruits, they're early game trash

Now the Assassins who show up by the time you hit Helios One, that's a fight worth having. And then the Super Sledge or Thermic Lance you get off them breaks the game.
