It's possible but he still has lower charisma than that same mole rat. Which frankly is something I think Caesar is one of the characters who realistically would be on a the higher end of the scale.
Agreed. I was surprised when I first spoke to Caesar because he spoke like a retarded "big picture" mafia boss that calls all the shots but doesn't really understand most details of the modern world around him. Low intelligence doesn't surprise me, but he (as an outsider) forged a nation from stone age tribes. Anything short of 9 Charisma would be inaccurate to the character the game portrays.
Caesar in New Vegas is no longer at the height of his powers. He is old and dying and practically on death's door when you first see him. He is prone to outbursts and headaches and looks like a loud noise might startle his heart into stopping. All of the leaders in New Vegas are shown to have major glaring weaknesses as are their factions. It's one of the ways that the writers could push players into the Yes Man ending. As on the surface it seems like a reasonable alternative to a bunch of fossils ruling over everyone.
Pretty much.
That is a very good point but he is still only 55, a bit too young for things like dementia or Alzheimers to really set in afaik, I am not a medical expert or even really knowledgeble on the subject so please correct me if I am wrong. But the leaders and factions all having a major glaring weakness is part of the appeal of NV as a whole for me, it shows that no side is entirely perfect and you have to decide which one do you think is the least worst. Realistically the Wild Card ending in general stopped appealing to me when I realized how unless you super autistically RP plan out in advanced Six likely has no fucking idea what they would do once them and Yes Man take over the Mojave so its really hard to justify thinking I might be the best choice.
I think that can a fair bit of NV's VOs come off as they didn't have much direction, it's better in the DLCs but it is kinda funny knowing how Joshua Graham's va got the role with something he did over the phone while he had a cold.
The actual Caesar was an epileptic who suffered from a bunch of health issues even when he was young. It's accurate.
Yes and Julius Caesar died at age 55. The New Vegas Caesar is very much based on a few popular ideas and myths surrounding him. Just like Mr. House is clearly a caricature and parody of Howard Hughes. And President Kimball is likely a parody of JFK and a couple of other U.S. Presidents.
I use .45 ACP like God intended. Unless I want to give the Deathclaw a chance then I use my bare hands, only to throw sand in its face.
Damn I never even knew that about Julius Caesar that just makes things even better.
I did way too many Kenshiro RP runs back in the day tbh. I just like the funny burnt Mormon man.
Just remember, even when you evacuate Daniel starts wondering later on if it was the right choice. The absolute best choice is to wipe out the White Legs and then convince Joshua to let Salt-Upon-Wounds go.
That's because Nick and Hancock are awesome. Nick is your stereotypical noir detective, fedora, trenchcoat, and cigarette and all, and Hancock is... Hancock.
Exactly and it's the more satisfying ending overall, and has less White Man's Burden bullshit energy due to the race change Daniel had from Asian to Caucasian.
Nick's stuff is shockingly so well-written I'm surprised anyone at Bethesda greenlit it. Of course, the man responsible for him and Far Harbor (William Shen) would go on to be responsible for Starfield's quests, so reality did wind up reasserting itself in the end.
I mean hey he did write a quest where you can kill the last Jew in existence so that is super based.
More like I get the feeling Todd Howard forces every talented writer to start eating lead paint chips so they quit making Emil look bad.
