FHBD Plays New Vegas Featuring Clutch! pt1

[Deleted]

So I got some good responses from my thread asking if this would be something people here would be interested in, even though some of your didn't post like I asked. Here it is though, the big decision making thread! I will list a few choices for the group to decide on, and will keep a tally on how the votes are going through in this thread. This will be a modded playthrough, but for the most part the mods I am thinking of using are for visual or stability effects. Feel free to suggest mods, and I will consider them!

So here we go! In case of a tie I will make the final choice.

Male or Female character?
Male: *
Female: *****

---

Aim for Medium or Heavy armor?
Medium: ****
Heavy: *

---

Should my primary gun choice be guns that shoot Bullets or guns that shoot freakin' Lasers?
Guns: *
Energy Weapons: *****

---

(Optional)What should my primary weapon be? A one-handed gun such as a pistol or smg, a rifle, a spread weapon like a shotgun, or a big ol' heavy weapon?
One-Handed: *
Rifle: *
Spread:
Heavy: *

---

Should I use Roleplayers Alternative Start?
This mod lets me start in a different location, have some different starting gear, and gives me something like 20 different choices for a background. If enough people say yes to this I will post some of the various choices that can be made from it. I'm a little iffy on this one, but if enough of a majority thinks it will be fun I will give it a shot.

UPDATE: HERE is the list of alternative starting backgrounds that the mod can let you pick from. Even going courier has something to offer!
Yes: ***
No:

---

That's all I can think of for now. Feel free to recommend perks, quests, mods, and other early goals you would like to see me accomplish. If enough people want I can post my opinions for the above questions, as well as what I would normally use.

I had an idea for a character basically themed to be a mad scientist (who works as a courier as a side job, unfortunately mad science doesn't pay the rent). So...

Male

Light/No Armor

Weapons should be precision based energy weapons (laser rifle, plasma rifle, gauss rifle, etc.) and explosives (plasma mines, energy based grenades, etc.)

Character should have high mental/cognitive stats (Intelligence, Charisma, Perception) but average/low physical stats (Strength, Endurance, Agility, mostly Endurance though).

Traits you should have are Four Eyes and Trigger Discipline. Energy Weapons, Speech, Science, and Medicine are skills you should focus on.

Female character — for its own sake, and I think the armor tends to look better on the ladies.

Medium armor, as there's a wider variety, easier to repair and more likely to have some skill boosts on the good stuff—as well as having better role playing possibilities.

Shoot some freakin' lasers, for novelty's sake—with the exception of named weapons, like This Machine or That Gun or the Ratslayer. Since those are cool. Either your primary weapon or sidearm should be a unique variant of some sort.

I do think you should use the alt start—and that's the clutch (triple sided pun intended) of the thing. I'm kinda interested to see a story coming along with this! One of the reasons I really appreciate F:NV over FO3 is because it doesn't pigeonhole your character or story down a certain path very much, and one point I think you in particular have really strong is your character writing. Whether you turn the backstory options to us, I think it'd be cool to see some of your creative flair applied to New Vegas!

Female

Heavy

Bullets: Reason? Minigun. Always go for the minigun.

In my opinion? The House always wins.

[Silver]

I gotta agree with Dizzy to a point.

Female Character

Medium Armor

And Lazors. Though, if you go Lazors, don't worry about Bullets as a sidearm. There are plenty of Unique Laser weapons to use. MF Hyperbreeder, Pew Pew, Or even the Alien Pistol (If you're using Wacky Wasteland.)

Female

Medium Armor

Melee weapons and lazors. Cuz pew pews are great and I always loved beating people's faces in on Fallout =D

If you're going through main story, get yourself a robot army, off House, and take over the wasteland. Cuz everybody else doesn't know what they're doing.

And I think the alt start could be interesting~

Female

Medium Armor

I'd say go with the PEW PEW of the lazors because who doesn't like turning someone you don't like into a pile of ashes? C=

Nothing says the wild wild west like using a pistol as the primary weapon of choice, shoot em up! Though I agree with Snow, you should most certainly have melee weapons with you to smash a face or two with. 9u9

Most of us have already watched/played it from it's original beginning and to do so again might not hold the best entertainment possible. I'd vote for the Alternative Start.
