The Unpopular Opinions

[A Zarkin' Frood]

If I'd known this forum had an unsatisfiable hard-on for Firefly I wouldn't have said I enjoy it, but it's severely overrated, I'd have said it's the worst TV show ever, and is only considered good because it ended before it could majorly fuck up, so its cancellation is the best thing ever just to troll people.

EDIT: The fuck about Lady Gaga's Face? Neither is she particularly beautiful, nor ugly at all. I'm a man with taste, I know what I'm talking about.

Don't you fucking dare touch Firefly with your dirty assholes, you are not worthy.

Not gonna keep this going any longer than it needs to, but just to clarify:

I've done it before.

Once I even ran into a cazador that had somehow been bugged into being immortal. Couldn't even use console to make it killable. Still knocked that bitch out and walked past him.

Edit: Cut out a lot of the main quest line, though.

Yes, I realise it's possible, but it felt as though the game was punishing me for trying to go in a different direction. I'd played Fallout 3 and I was pretty eager to play New Vegas, so coming out of the first town, I was experienced enough with the mechanics that I wanted to go exploring before getting into the main quest too much. I took a few steps north and found myself in the middle of a horde of radscorpions. The big ones, I forget what they're called. Barely made it through them to a little place where they warn me about deatheaters. I figured oh, they'll be in the quarry, I'll take this road and I'll avoid them because I don't feel like fighting death eaters with a crappy little pistol. I was still ambushed by three or four of them along the road.

It felt a little like I had to play the main quest so much just to open up the game, which was just disappointing.

I liked the scaling system, at least the one in Fallout 3. Sure, some areas still had pretty deadly creatures but if you wanted to go exploring you could. In some of my play throughs I found most of the map land marks without really advancing the story too much, and it didn't skip it, but I was able to do that because of the scaling system and that was fun. I know level scaling isn't realistic but I do prefer it.

I was extremely overleveled for the main quest though.

FO3 didn't have a scaling system so much as it locked the only dangerous creatures all the way out in the NE corner of the map in one small settlement that you had to really look for and everything else was a cake-walk.

NV just dumped a box of jackson's chameleons, tarantula hawks and coyote-snakes on the map and said "Good luck with all that"

[BloodyMage]

Except, when I first left the vault Megaton was surrounded by Mole Rats. When I came back later it was mostly radscorpians and by the end of the game it was just one albino radscorpian that would just kill their robotic guard and chase the merchants. At that point, you had to go exploring just to find the mole rats.

I mean, it's less scaling and more like huge leaps, but it was still there.

I am of the opinion who the hell cares about Fallout.

[Osterbaum]

I am of the asshole who the hell cares about other peoples assholes?

The Republican Party is very interested in assholes and what people are doing with/to them.

The others are just a death wish.

My single Insanity runthrough is on an Adept.

Just fuckin' bring somebody with Overload, and put a bunch of points into Warp. Seriously, your cooldown eventually gets to the point where you can have another effect out before the previous one ends - the moment somebody's shields drop, they're dead if you know what you're doing.

Harbinger can go fuck himself though.
