That reminds me, heve we decided what kind of fighter Lucy is going to be? Like, guns vs melee vs unarmed? Cause if not, there are some interesting things to do as a melee character with dogmeat.

Stick with the Neutral/Evil sliding scale

I like going into these things and being a total paragon. It makes me feel legendary.

DARTH LUCIFER, EATER OF WORLDS AND OF CHILDREN.

This too, is tempting.

I tend to find whatever works best generally works best. So guns, blades, fists whatever, s'all good. Depends what the stats are like right now though really, no point going with melee if small arms is already way ahead, or whatever.

Usually though it's prudent to have at least one weapon in every area, so I'm thinking shishkebab + sniper + Fatman + alien laser gun should be a winning combo. And Dogmeat, of course.

Edit: Fixed some of the pictures.

Did you shoot him, reload, punch him dead, take a screenshot, then reload again?

Because that's what it looks like, and I'm just wondering if punching him kills him or just knocks him out despite the empty life bar.

The picture of him unconscious is from the hallway altercation--which only knocks him out if you keep hitting him after he calls off the fight.

When I murdered him and reloaded, it was when he was running up to ask for help with his mother. I killed him before he even said anything.

As for fighting style, as you all voted for shooting to be her hobby, I figured she'd be relying mostly on guns, being most comfortable with that, and falling back on whatever was available only when she ran out of bullets.

HAHAHA
I just realized we have a red-head named Lucy.


Come on I cant be the only one that gets that.



But back on topic. I say megaton, and dont blow it up. Evil or not it is a good base of operations especialy with your own place. You can still rob everyone blind and slaughter half the town, but it has alot of side quests, a place you can make your own, shop, and medic. Just because your evil doesn't mean you have to be a homicidal maniac that kills for the sake of killing

I agree totally with this in every way. I prefer a less totally evil and more "Doing what she has to do" sort of personality. Also her bitchiness is refreshing from my concious driven playing of the game.

Yes I helped Butch the first time. I'm a pussy ><

So yea, make her neutral yet maybe sorta friendly to the nice ones, but bitchy to everyone else, including maybe her friends. But in a nice way. Sorta like what you were doing at the party.

Tis why I agreed with it as a good 50s name. I just hope Krylo took the Jinxed trait(is that in 3?) cause that would fit even better.

But yeah I say we keep her more or less an extremely bitchy neutral. Good to her friends(hence loyalist) and disproportionately horrible to those who piss her off.

When you're making your moral choices, I want you to remember this one thing: Lawbringers get to dress like cowboys.

This LP has encouraged me to start playing this again myself. I'm going the totally evil path though now. I've already killed the Overseer, Butch, Lucas Simms (I wanted his hat) and many other named characters. I even placed a nade in an old mans pocket for a trophy. Yes, I am a total bastard.
