I wanted to share a little moment of time, because Lopov is surprised for all the Vinnie love, compared to Rattler.

QUOTE

Must say that I was positively surprised when you, Acadian and SubRosa seemed kinda happy to see him back, because Vinnie is an evil bastard after all. I bet nobody would be happy if Rattler re-appeared. laugh.gif I think it's because Vinnie is still the "lesser of two evils", and it's kinda funny to see the pre-war mobster, used to wearing suit and ties, now walking around like some character from the Mad Max movies. bigsmile.gif


YES that's what I was trying to say yesterday... he looks like some guy out of Mad Max, or some other post-apocalyptic movie full of dirty people and scrappy clothes.

Well I can only share my viewpoint of the difference between Vinnie and Rattler. First of all, him being evil has nothing to do with my fascination for him. Vinnie has an interesting personality, first of all. Secondly, he is different from any character any of us have ever rolled. His backstory is deep. There's something charming about that sort of character. Mafia guys, as evil as they can be, often have charismatic side to them, which makes them interesting to listen to (at least in my opinion). His manner of dressing was also dapper and uppity. No matter what happens, he MUST have his shirt and trousers pressed before he goes outside into whatever constitutes a public area in postwar Boston. Like, he would die if we caught him in some holey shirt and stained pants. mad.gif You went into some detail about how he found himself needing to lose weight, and going through all the typical pains and concerns which an older fellow must deal with. He is evil, but he is also getting fragile because of his age.

There's something about a stodgy, middle-aged man finding himself needing to change his former ways, and then he totally transforms into some ultra-futuristic character who'd fit next to Mel Gibson on the bad guys side. emot-ninja1.gif My only concern is if Vinnie ever met Grace Jones, he'd let her live. Grace appeared in Max Mad Beyond Thunderdome. wub.gif

And here it is. With Vinnie we never had to worry about him eating some other beloved NPC, like Rattler did. We will never witness Vinnie shacking up with some prostitute, just so he can slice her up with his knife. There you go. That is the difference between those two.

I think Renee put it very well in her final paragraph there. Vinne is an old-school mobster, not a cannibal serial-killer. Watching Vinnie in action is like watching an mob movie - The Godfather of the Wasteland, or Feral Goodfellas.

Wonderfully written, Renee, thanks!

If there's one thing that Vinnie is good at, it's adapting to his surroundings. When he realized that his nice outfit won't help him much in the Commonwealth, he needed to start dressing like others. But the hat on his head is still meant to represent the pre-war style.

And if he cared about losing weight at first, now he doesn't anymore, because he sure gained a lot of pounds since being unfrozen. laugh.gif

I never bought FO4, or any of the last-generation games. Maybe someday I will get 4, but not until I play New Vegas more extensively. Why, are you planning on getting Fallout 4, KrÄke?

Fallout 4 is still part of my regular rotation of games. I might be going back to it in the next few months, as I have an idea for a new character for it.

After the disk crash Vol II that took place 2 years ago I haven't yet reinstalled FO4.

Casey heard a loud metal thud on the other side of the building that once used to be a high pre-war apartment complex.

What the hell...?

He unsheathed his pipe pistol and hurried around.

Power helmet.

Right in front of him, on the pavement, was the power helmet. He looked up to the top of the apartment complex. There was only one person in Lexington who was going around wearing a full set of power armor.

My boss Butch.

Butch would rarely leave the top of the apartment complex and he'd never remove his helmet, except when going to sleep. So how come that his helmet was now down here?

What the f*** happened up there?

Not thinking too much, because thinking wasn't one of his capabilities, Casey ran up the fire staircase all the way to the top of the apartment complex, where Butch used to live. He found his boss, but he was dead. Casey sort of expected this, as soon as he saw his boss' helmet down on the pavement. What he didn't expect was...

...the hole in Butch's cheek.

Not from the bullet, though. It looked like someone viciously bit his cheek, made a big bite actually. Like creatures do.

Yeah, it must have been some creature.

But creatures don't remove helmets. And creatures don't throw helmets around. A wasteland creature couldn't kill Butch that easily.

His fingers firm on the pistol's trigger, Casey thoroughly searched, what once used to be a luxurious apartment with a terrace with a beautiful vista. But whoever or whatever killed Butch, was already gone.

Uh oh, looks like Casey might be up to bat next...

It sounds like Faye is taking a bite out of crime...

Yikes Lopov.... see I don't know which character this is. indifferent.gif I Assume it's Faye, but why isn't there a bloodbath of grossness all over the place?

Ha ha ha ha! laugh.gif

Anyway, seems like y'all know Casey and Butch. I never played FO4 so I don't know the circumstances.
