I forgot Creators Pet requires the author admitting he likes the character, so Marko doesn't count.

* CreatorsPet: By the end of ''III'', Marko comes off as unreasonably favoured by the narrative. [[spoiler:He gets the drop on the Courier, executes the entire small town of Frosthill and Randall, and permanently cripples the Courier. You are not permitted to provide a good rebuttal to his edgy nihilist rants, let alone prevent any of the above, and should you survive being ''buried alive'', then kill him and his posse of amoral bounty hunters, the ending shrugs and proclaims that "his legend persists" and the Courier ran back to the Mojave with their tail between their legs. The alternative ending, where you let him live, offers a single sentence about how your survival needles him enough that at some point he returns to the Mojave to track you down, which comes off as equally unsatisfactory.]]

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Opinions on Marko's character varies strongly. Some players thinks that he lives up well to his status as TheDreaded and proves to be an harrowing enemy for the Courier, being capable of outsmarting them and being quite tough to fight even for a high-leveled character. Others disagree and think that Marko comes off as an excessively verbose blowhard who gets constant CharacterShilling, can't be called out at any point by the Courier during his numerous rants, and assumes the player character is a naive goody-two-shoes even if that's not the case. Marko is so contentious that [[https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/69605?tab=description an entire mod]] has been made specifically to rewrite him.

* SpiritualAdaptation: The Frosthill segment of ''New Vegas Bounties III'' is very similar to ''Film/TheGreatSilence'' in terms of general setting (the Utah during the winter) and plot: the town's inhabitants are harmless fugitives who have bounties on their head, the protagonist is a good and moral bounty hunter ([[spoiler:Randall]] and the Courier could be seen as DecompositeCharacter of Silence), the BigBad is a ruthless bounty hunter. The ending is similar too: [[spoiler:the hero is shot through the hand then killed, while the bounty hunters slaughter the town. It was initially supposed to be closer to the original, since the Courier had a potential LoveInterest who gets killed along Frosthill's population (the romance has been cut from the released version, as someguy2000 didn't like the result)]]

* CompleteMonster: [[GhastlyGhost Jacob Powers]] is a [[FantasticRacism violent ghoul supremacist]] who is attempting to build an army to conquer the Wasteland. Killing all adult humans he encounters, Powers [[WouldHurtAChild has human children locked in a cage with nuclear waste]] in order to [[ForcedTransformation mutate them into ghouls]] to add to his army, which more often than not kills them. Powers employs liberal use of beatings, sleep deprivation, and brainwashing broadcasts to break his "recruits" down into loyal soldiers. To ensure none of his soldiers sympathize with the captives, Powers allows them to [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil rape human women]] before killing them in order to devalue humans in their eyes. Even among a cast of killers, slavers, rapists, and torturers, Jacob Powers proves to be the very worst of the Wasteland.
