Let's Play Fallout: New Vegas [The Servant]

[AlternatePFG]

So things didn't go the way I planned and I didn't get enough work done on the LP, and I'm getting really busy again, so I'm going to have to go on a bit of a hiatus as far as updating goes. I still have a few updates left in my backlog, but after that there won't be anything for awhile. Sorry bout that.

I didn't appreciate the characters of Dead Money the first time I went through it. I was so turned off by the atmosphere and mechanics (which I don't hate anymore, for whatever reason) that I just kind of rushed through the thing, neglecting to really get to know them. But in subsequent playthroughs? Wow. It's pretty crazy how different things can turn out based on how you interact with everyone, especially God/Dog. I've had a different ending for him every time I've played Dead Money, and that wasn't even through metagaming (where you purposefully try to see the different ending).

Related to Dead Money: I made a smart move my last playthrough of New Vegas (which I finished yesterday): I took the Light Step perk. Pretty much had Dead Money in mind when I did that, but I didn't regret it a bit. It actually synergized well with some of the other perks I took (pretty much all the ones that make you faster in light armor and faster while sneaking). So I could speedily sneak through areas without worrying about traps. Was a joy. I don't know why I fail so hard at seeing traps.

I died a lot around the traps. That took me longer than anything else

Also, I've been lurking in this thread for a while. Just haven't had anything else to say.

I have to say, Dog/God was my favorite character in Dead Money and one of the things I loved most about the DLC.

They used the whole split personality trait well and I really liked how God developed and how you eventually learn that he really cares for Dog; it made him seem more...human.

Oddly enough, I wasn't huge on the whole God/Dog thing. It confused me quite a bit. However, the climax of that relationship was done quite well, in my opinion.

I believe Dog was the "original" personality and after the stealth boy started taking its toll, he then developed "God". It's revealed that Dog was a fanatical follower of the Master and after his passing he then wandered without a goal and created a lust for a master and eventually found it in Elijah.

God didn't like Elijah and so he tried to take over Dog and protect him from his desires (which ties in to the whole "greed and desire" aspect of Dead Money) and protect him like a "big brother".

In the end, I gathered, the only thing God wanted was to protect Dog and nothing else.

Well, I am rather new to this thread. I know the OP said he was going on hiatus, but is there any more news about that? It's been about a month since your last update, and I'm curious if you have any more.

Thanks!

Had to drop by and say that I've really enjoyed your LPs and I've read all 38 pages

Hopefully you'll continue at some point

If his twitter is anything to go by he'll be back this month.

Looking forward to his glorious return.

I apologize for my lack of activity and communication over the last few months. There were a few things stopping me from updating (Computer changes, file transfer, save issues, etc.) but I do have a few a leftover updates that I found on my hard drive that I can post in a bit. Bear with me here, hopefully I'll get back on track soon.

It's great to know you're still here and the LP is still alive.

I doubt anyone is upset, man. Technical issues happen and real life comes first. Just make three full updates a day for a month and it'll be like nothing ever happened. >

Nice first badge you have there. I can't quite pin down the reason why, but it suits you.

It shouldn't be a surprise that is was the first result I got.

I was destined to acquire this badge!

I've been lurking this thread for a while, and I made an account to say good luck with the computer problems, and please don't give up on this thread! This thread is one of the best screenshot LP's I've read and is what inspired me to buy New Vegas, so it'd be a shame for it to never be finished...
