WRONG NEIGHBORHOOD, MOTHERFUCKER !

[Frost]

Seen that gif. What I'm wondering is why nobody just shot the fucker

[O. Hinds]

And from the point of view of the Zebra as well, the fall of the megaspells might have looked awfully like an attempt at simply erasing them from existence.

Gee, why would they think that the extremely speciesist aggressor (that, depending on your religious beliefs, was run by the champion of evil) with the much more powerful superweapons was finally out to just exterminate the striped pests?

The zebras were conducting holy war and had no intention of anything less than the utter annihilation of, if not all ponies everywhere, the entirety of pony culture and their way of life. That is textbook genocide.

Some people just... ugh.
There's an author. I know that he is capable of good writing because, well, the *quality* of his writing is good. But what he's doing with it?
-A story with thinly-veiled author tracts about how making everyone immortal is a great idea and how much everyone who doesn't think so sucks
-A really in-your-face author tract about how you must not write anything with dark or sexual themes in MLP, and about how everyone who does is scum
-Several stories about Nyx

Criticism is met with sneering condescension and/or deleted.

Who might this author might be? Does he have any actually non-stupid stories?

...Yeaaaaah, we apparently have very different views/headcanons of what the Zebras were doing and who they were. You may have your own view, of course, but we probably ought to keep in mind, when conversing, that you're not repeating Equestria propaganda against the Pax Roamana and I'm not trying whitewash an attempted genocide by... what does your headcanon call the Zebras?

[Ketchup]

...
Wasn't the war over resources in the first place? I don't see a holy war coming from that. Relations weren't particularly terrible until the issues with the gem-coal trade, IIRC.

I don't remember exactly what finally prompted the megaspell exchange that resulted in the holocaust(it means 'all consuming fire'), but I don't think that it was to wipe Equestria out simply because they were ponies.

I just hate it when bugs utterly break a game.

For instance, on my final New Vegas playthrough on the XBOX (switching to PC soon) I was Vilified by the Legion before even reaching the strip--as are many, I suspect, due to the vast amount of NCR sidequests to catch the eye and the easy, easy availability of getting Boone, AKA 'Instant Legion Bullseye Man'

So, obviously, I reach the Strip, and Vulpes hands me the Mark, which allows me to travel through Legion lands unmolested to meet Caesar.

The bug: someone forgot to tell the Legion.

I can't take two fucking steps toward Cottonwood Cove without getting ass-fucked by a dozen spears and mauled by billions of tens of dogs

I don't see a problem here. Just KILL EVERYTHING!

But...but...plotlines!

-RealityCheck
-Not entirely sure. It's possible (as I said, the quality of writing is good), but I don't really care enough to find out.

But...but...plotlines!

One of the good things about NV is that there's a lot of plotlines. There'll be enough left over if you just take your favorite gun and wipe out the fort hill.
I especially like the irony of shooting everyone in Caesar's tent with Joshua Graham's M1911.

...kay, so, that's something I have to do, now.
Any recommendations on how to survive with only holdout weapons? My guy may be level 30, but two or three swipes by a deathclaw, three by a cazador, and he's solidly dead, so I don't know exactly how to survive that fight...

When I go in to meet Caesar, it's usually after I've killed everything in the entire camp already, so holdout weapons are not exactly a necessary thing. Hmm... if you're really OP and have the shotgun perks and stuff, a sawed-off with slugs or explosive rounds (I forget if those are default in the game >_>) might do for a few guards. Another tactic is to kill one and immediately exit the tent to avoid getting surrounded and killed by his super-tough guards. Those are my gun strategies, there are probably others that involve melee weapons and stuff.

@Hinds
I don't really have a headcanon for the zebra wartime coalition name - it's never been prominent enough in anything I wrote to merit thinking about (as in, I have never written anything that actually took place during the war - only before, and way, way, way after).

What Headcanon I DO have:

[O. Hinds]

There's nothing wrong with one that doesn't agree with it, since there's certainly room to maneuver, but I'm okay with it for my purposes.

Aye, you've pretty much summed up my reply to you there.

…Though I wouldn't exactly call the Pax Roamana "the zebra wartime coalition", given that I've got the war starting in about 1795PR (the fifteenth year of the Diarchy and the 1615th year of the original, long-dead Equestrian calendar). :)

If you have Boone in your party he cancels out the marks affect since he shoots legion on sight.

I specifically left Boone back at the Lucky 38 to avoid that. I even had a Ranger still tagging along (it's the Ranger you get when you call for NCR support--I wandered too close to McCarran and she started following me, so I couldn't dismiss her) and I even outright murdered her so the Legion wouldn't start a fight.....only for them to start one anyway.

I was doing a House run. I'm aware he doesn't exactly fire you if you kill Caesar, but I think you get more caps for not doing it. Especially since I'd not even gotten under Fortification Hill to the bunker yet, and my Sniper build would be at something of a disadvantage going into the weather station with a bunch of Praetorians right in my fucking face. Besides, if I let Caesar think I'm working for him--something that's off the table now--I'm technically doing quests for him, the NCR, Yes Man and House by doing the same quests. That's a whole lotta XP.

[Guest]

Okay, that's interesting. I can't say I've ever had that happen before.

[Admiral Stoic Rum]

shouldn't this be in the New Vegas playthrough thread?

[Kippershy]

Eh, this thread is meant to be lax about topic, so unless they spam it to the point where no other topics can make it through, it's fine.

[Harmony Ltd.]

Of course it had to be snakes millipedes

Spoiler:

[Moodyman90]

It's not that he's scared of them, just that after having to deal with so many of them he hates them.

ikr

[Frost]

Well, just finished my ASVAB with a 96

[Harmony Ltd.]

on 1000 ?

[Valikdu]

Kaidan has finished Twilight's Dollhouse.
Actually, he's doing a sequel.
Yay.
