whos ready for NIGHTSTALKERS the best snuppies of the wasteland right on your doorstep. may include cacti and one (1) Loaf Borous would be disappointed if I didn’t mess with genetic variation, so there’s spotted hyena/puff adder, mastiff/gaboon viper, and doberman/king cobra for some. spicy excitement
how the writers wanted benny to come across: your mysterious killer. master schemer you have to track across the mojave in order to solve his machinations,. leader of one of the most powerful groups on the new vegas strip who will do anything to make his plans work out. seemingly always two steps ahead of his adversaries
how benny actually is in game: somehow manages to fuck up a point blank headshot. twice. everyone you meet trashes his hideous jacket. can’t keep any allies because he is a compulsive backstabber. potato face. says phrases like “give those charlies a shake for the ben-man”. writes you the least romantic one night stand note ever conceived. gets caught by the legion because he refused to walk around without hair pomade
My favorite veronica moment was when i couldnt find her but i heard her little “uh oh” behind a boulder and then i heard the powerfist punch sound and “caesars legion infamy gained :(“ popped up in the corner
Exactly the kind of response Doomguy should get when he walks into a room with other humans.
This is genuinely beyond big dick energy
It’s honestly Argent Phallus Energy (APE)
Holy shit
Everyone is talking about key-card guy, but my favorite is the dude who tries to hide behind his swivel chair. Babe, babe, No, Doomguy jumps dick first into hell portals on an hourly basis and pops berserker power ups like your mom pops xanax. That chair aint doin SHIT.
Also I love how they don’t just seem to be afraid of the fact that the apex predator of the Legions of Armageddon just walked in. They are acting like they think he might attack them, because you know the UAC has waged a serious PR war against Doom-Chad while he’s been kicking ass on Mars/Hell.
ALPHA AF!!!
I just love the fact that DoomGuy spots the keycard on the dude’s lanyard, and instead of doing a vicious yank, or simply snapping it off the lanyard like he always does, he very, VERY carefully takes it, and slowly pulls the dude to the scanner, before letting him go.
For a dude filled with eternal rage and seething violence, that was remarkably polite of him. It was almost his “…Excuse me. I require this. Pardon my reach.”
Then that poor marine. “Hey YOU! You can’t… be… here…”
DoomGuy just casually approaches, looks at him, looks at his gun, and then still remarkably politely, just takes it. Doesn’t wrench it away, or kill the guy, or anything violent. Just reaches out and retrieves it. Again, like “You are doing a fine job. That’s a fine weapon. Mind if I see it? *takes it and walks away*”
It’s as if he’s being very, VERY careful not to harm normal humans (or whatever augmented humans those armored marines qualify as), saving his violence specifically for the Daemonic.
Kinda supports my idea that DoomGuy isn’t neccessarily a bloodthirsty raging psycho. He’s a guy who has seen so much, done SO MUCH… that he’s calm. He’s so far beyond wrath at the demons that he’s entered a weird Calm and just LIVES there. Nothing shakes him of it. He doesn’t grunt, he doesn’t yell, he doesn’t scream, he just breathes and moves on. New demon? Well, it’ll bleed like the last. He doesn’t revel in combat, he just moves through it like walking through air; it’s a function of existence for him.
