History Headscratchers / FalloutNewVegas

** Nash doesn't own the Mojave Express, he just run/manage the Mojave Express brench in Primm, the headquartes of the Mojave Express [[https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Mojave_Express#cite_note-Hub-1 are in The Hub]]. The Courier likely got the job in The Hub with the instructions to go to Primm for the payment.

[[folder:EDE and his "copy"]]
* Am I the only one who finds it weird that the ''copy/clone'' of EDE has more of a personality than the ''real'' one?

** 30 isent particularly high, that level would be the equivilent of some basic medical training, these people also likely pull this scam regularly and would learn to hide the obvious signs like them breathing, more then likely the medicine check isent to actually identify it(anyone could do that by checking there pulse) but to recognise the more subtle signs somethings off to even bother checking

** Also? ''[[BiTheWay You can take both]].''

*** Other unsavory characters with Neutral karma include the Van Graffs and Dixon ([=JSawyer's=] mod made them Very Evil, though I think Dixon is only Evil), Andy Scabb, [[BombThrowingAnarchists Samuel Cooke]], [[{{Jerkass}} Silus, Antony]], [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Alice McLafferty]] (made Evil by [=JSawyer=]), [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness Barton Thorn, Logan and his prospectors]], and [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder Jacklyn]]. I also think Clanden deserves to be very evil instead of just evil.

** Yeah, the point was never to make you the player feel bad, and it's an odd thing to think since the only character who wants the Courier to feel bad is demonstrably crazy, and indeed you spend most of the DLC finding out how crazy he is. 'Obsessing over the past' is the biggest theme running through all four DLCs and Ulysses is the ultimate representation of that idea. He holds the symbol of the US as an ideal even while admitting the actual nation was not ideal. Then he found a settlement that he thought embodied it and when it was destroyed, he became obsessed. He refuses to accept the simple truth that this isn't the Courier's fault and instead builds this insane mythology around a random event.

* [[WordOfGod Josh Sawyer answered this question on his formspring.]] While they were renovating the Tops, Benny and the chairmen found a part of Vault 21 that they missed when House was filling it with concrete. Benny found that a portion of that corridor ran under and out of the fence of the strip, beyond House's eyes and ears. We only see part of that corridor, but that was how Benny escaped, he blew a small hole in the ceiling of the corridor and got out that way. It's also how he left Vegas to shoot you in the head since the exit was near Camp McCarran.

* This is identified as DiggingYourSelfDeeper; indeed, the questioner seems like a homophobic JerkAss. But the fact is that 90% of the humanoids you battle are male (more if you're fighting the Legion), so if you have a male avatar, "Confirmed Bachelor" is one of the most powerful traits in the game. Possible ''the'' most powerful. 10% damage is almost unrivalled. "Lady Killer" grants the same bonus but to a smaller proportion of the population. This seems like overt RailRoading: You can't both play a heterosexual character and [[TookALevelInBadass Take a Level in Badass]]. Those who do will be greeted with CampGay dialog, and [[HaveIMentionedImAHeterosexualToday those who question it]] will receive the TakeThat above. But apart from the icon being hilarious, what exactly is it about dudes loving dudes that makes them better at BoomHeadshot?

** Because it's cheaper to use brahmin. A lot of people forget that cars need far more than just gasoline, namely spare parts, tires, chassis parts to replace rusted through elements, wiring and more. In fact, NCR using trucks to transport goods (pay a visit to McCarran and look immediately right of the entrance) speaks volumes of their industry and power.

There's also the issue of the Courier's brain. The courier's brain is replaced with a machine. Your actual brain is left to develop its own independent personality. That means when you put the brain back in, it should have the newer personality it has developed. Basically, New Vegas doesn't seem to understand that brain = you. Your body is a vehicle for your brain.
