The Lone Wanderer, your thoughts

[Flour]

My character, in a D&D setting, would be Lawful Evil.

She spent her whole life in a vault, eating, sleeping and generally living when and where the Overseer wanted her to.
She is forced to survive outside. Alone and without any clear rules this has scared her so she tried to find some order in the land, when she couldn't find it, she decided to be the one that brought the law back to the wasteland. However, the years in the vault also made her feel superior over the people that have lived their whole lives in the wasteland, so everything she does has two reasons;
A) to get as much of the capital wasteland under one person's leadership
2) to be the person that controls the capital wasteland.

It's probably time to retire that character. Only the Enclave and BoS are left as real threats, and the fact that they would fight each other, leaving the winning group severely weakened, is positive for that army of slavers and raiders under her control.

I can't stomach bad stuff (especially nuking Megaton), so my characters are always paragons of idealism and goodness.

Thank you so much for revealing that, now I feel a ton better about being the same way. A mega ton better.

Whenever I make a male character, I make him look like Gordon Freeman and have him use the Scout Armor, which looks like an HEV suit.

For female, I just go with a default one and name her Jessica, because that's the closest female name I could think of to my own (Josh), although I didn't really think to hard on it. On reflection, I probably should have made her look like Alyx and named her accordingly, but I was tired of the whole "theme character" thing by the time I finished with Gordon.

Okay, this will sound wierd, but I think you and I are the same person.

Seriously.

I'm pissed now.
I thought this was the Wanderer from Shadow of the Colossus thread.
I've never heard anyone call the main character of Fallout 3 anything but Vault Dweller.
Oh well.

My Fallout 3 character is pretty new, since I've restarted again in order to play new mods, so I haven't really established anything. I always play neutral characters though. I can't handle being to evil. Feels like something I'd do if I was 13. But being a perfect do-gooder isn't realistic in the wastes. I like to do what profits me the most, unless I feel like doing something different.

The Lone Wanderer, Karryn, from the D.C. Wasteland is like pretty much all of my characters:
A horribly helpful goody-goody without respect for the dead. ~loot~

Poor girl really wanted to find her father, but she kept getting sidetracked by other people's needs, and always kept a promise unless she was tricked into it through dishonesty. She even went back to help Three Dog even after she's found out about her father's location.

At the Oasis she felt conflicted. On the one hand, she had the chance to help a poor tortured soul who felt like his time in this world should have ended a long time ago, but on the other hand she realized how much Harold's existence could do for the wasteland, along with her father's Project Purity. Additionally, Harold and Yew seemed to enjoy each other's company, and she felt confident that he would regain his will to live if only he was given a purpose beyond being worshiped by the Treeminders. Once in the caves, she applied Laurel's Liniment to Harold's heart.

In her times in the wasteland, the Wanderer freed many a slave, showed no mercy for raiders and slavers, and left the world with a legacy unheard of since before the great war. In the end, as she activated Project Purity, her thoughts strayed for a moment to her childhood friend and secret love, Amata, and then she was no more. She lived on only in the memories of those she'd helped, and in the clean water and growing forest of the D.C. Wasteland. She knew she'd made a difference, but could only hope that it would be enough to last.

I was the nicest kid in the vault, everybody liked me. but the day day my father suddenly dissapeared everything I worked for, all my bidding for his approval. it all vanished, all I felt was vengeance.

I tried to supress these feelings by going to the nearest settlement and trying to do good. it didnt work out.

I killed Roy, Murdered everybody in tenpenny tower, disarmed the bomb. got a house.
Then I killed everybody in megaton, rivit city and everybody I met so far.

Everything's better as Evil Lincoln. Being evil is so much more fun.

Wow, Evil Lincoln... you have just won the thread. Also, evil is so much better, the benefits are wonderful.

I picked a dude with blue hair and a blue goatee too. I didn't care about anything else particularly, his neon facial hair pulled enough giggles out of me throughout the game.

But it just pissed off when the game took me by surprise - I was striving to reach the ultimate evil rank and, because of one tiny quest, my karma sky-rocketed to Wasteland Savior or whatever....
