Current Events > So in canon the courier from Fallout New Vegas has 1 Int/Char right? *spoilers*

(+) Yeah! (+)

Game opens with him being shot in the had point blank and buried alive.

You don't see many top award winning scientists or world/cult leaders with giant gaping holes in their head as their brains seep out.

And the sheer fact his response to being a postman who was shot point blank in the head by some powerful dude he doesn't know (In an unforgiving brutal wasteland) is in canon to go track down said dude and confront him about it is pretty much peak 1 Intelligence. I'd say 0 intelligence. It makes absoltuely no fucking sense and is one of the most contrived things in the franchise.

That doesn't make sense. And these games are so realistic too...I hope somebody got fired for this storytelling blunder. I mean someone seeking vengeance on somebody who tried to kill them? Ridiculous.

Benny's gun, "Maria", if you get it for yourself (either by stealing it from him, or by killing him and taking it off his corpse; if you have him crucified at Caesar's fort, however, you won't be able to get it off of him unless you pickpocketed it earlier), is astonishingly weak for a unique weapon. It's quite possible that the two bullets Benny fired at the Courier didn't penetrate very far through the skull, even at point-blank range.

I mean the courier is fine like a day or two later so I doubt the bullets did much damage at all

People have survived and fully recovered from being shot in the head in real life.

Doc Mitchell's just that good, baby.

1 int is a fun playthrough

Everyone should be playing with 1 charisma because it's a useless stat, even for speech-based builds

I wish the five legendary creatures dropped better items.
I don't even bother with the Fire Gecko or the Nightstalker half the time.
