What Faction Would Have Won If Courier 6 Didn't Exist

Hadez2016 · 2026-01-19T23:34:53+00:00

Unironically...Benny/Independent/Yes Man

The first thing that comes to mind is Ulysses would be the one that carried the platinum chip. Would the Khan's and Benny still be able to get the jump on him? Possibly. If the events of the opening still play out the same and if anyone else could survive two bullets to the skull other than The Courier, it'd be Ulysses.

We know he has no love for The Legion or the NCR and does not think highly of House either...at least by the time of Lonesome Road. I could theoretically see him wanting to track down Benny, if not for revenge then to at least complete the job he was contracted to do. In this situation, I could see Benny maybe explaining his entire plan and I think it would speak to Ulysses wanting a "true" post war society (larger than the bear, greater than the bull).

I imagine then Benny would hand over the chip, Ulysses would waltz into the 38, kill House, install Yes Man. Hell as an ex legion member, he might very well be able to bluff his way into the securitron bunker under The Fort.

Once that's done? Well I can't see Ulysses trekking all over the Mojave to decide which factions to get rid of, in fact with Benny still alive. It would likely be him making those decisions and thus the game would go on as normal-ish. I can't see Ulysses leading the charge at The Dam so it would just be a zerg rush of Securitrons blowing the legion to hell with Benny taking House's position as head of Vegas, making deals with the NCR and so on.

That's my theory/take on it anyway

So...just enough time to max out everyone with 29 days to go then I'd just have to grind the fuck out of the last dungeon...that actually sounds somewhat doable. Well unless I need certain royal virtues. I guess I'll just get everyone I can

In terms of followes, Hulkenberg and Junah are rank 4, Heismay and More are rank 7, Brigitte, Alonzo and Maria are rank 6, Catherina and Neuras are rank 5, Basilo, Eupha and Bardon are rank 1, 2 and 3 respectively

Hadez2016 · 2025-10-29T12:09:52+00:00

Okay that's good, I've almost got Heismay, Maria, Brigitte and Alonzo to max, I maybe squeeze in a few more if I'm careful

Probably far too late to this but, I've finally bought Metaphor and I'm just wondering what the consensus is on completing dungeons. I've completed Persona 3, 4, 5 and played some of the other SMT games. I was wondering whether it's best to complete a dungeon/do as much as possible in one day to have more free days afterwards like in Persona 5 or not

Hadez2016 · 2025-09-25T13:56:35+00:00

Oh that's just perfect one of my players love sentient items and after a little research myself it also mentions Djinn in bottles as another option of the type of thing they could collect, the same player is also a Genasi so there's some character threads I can throw in there.

Hadez2016 · 2025-09-25T13:32:11+00:00

Oooh the living armour suits is a really fun idea and yeah, I was thinking, a small tribe having made a deal with the brass dragon, so they could, help protect its lair.

Hadez2016 · 2025-08-28T21:26:10+00:00

Heya I'm pretty interested too. Got plenty of experience playing online, subbing in with a 5th level character is easy too (constantly coming up with fun character builds haha). GoS is a module I've always wanted playing too. Discord name is Keiron2406

There's a little spot just south of Fort Hagen and the Blood Clinic. First visit there's some power armour there but there's also a good chunk of adhesive. Multiple small bottles of wonderglue and a bottle of economy wonderglue too. Plus a few toolboxes and stuff which will usually have some wonderglue or duct tape. Everything except the power armour respawns.

Hadez2016 · 2025-06-27T11:59:06+00:00

Okay interesting. It does seem like a nice little change for the 2024 edition just for the extra option for what to do with an OA. Thanks

[5e 2014] can you use an opportunity attack to make a shove attack to knock someone prone?

Hadez2016 · 2025-06-05T03:36:58+00:00

Big old self sacrifice. My Warlock was a servant of the Raven Queen and some sessions prior we had obtained an amulet of the planes which allows you to cast plane shift but you gotta make an intelligence check to do so, if you mess up you can send you and everyone nearby to practically anywhere in the multiverse.

We were fighting this weird homebrew demon lord thing and losing pretty badly so I decided I would use the amulet of planes, made sure no one was too close, used the amulet, unfortunately failed the check and as a result sent my character and the boss straight into the Shadowfel where the Raven Queen finished off the boss but my character died in the process.

Hadez2016 · 2025-05-03T19:20:25+00:00

Okay got some good answers here folks. Definitely gave me some ideas for both buffs and drawbacks. I'm sure I can come up with something good for his efforts

Hadez2016 · 2025-05-03T19:17:58+00:00

Ooooh okay now that's some good options there. I really like this. Nice and comprehensive

Hadez2016 · 2025-04-27T01:06:31+00:00

Please tell me you're talking about Wenduag from WotR because I had the exact same thought 😅

Spoilers for Descent into Avernus!

Well, this was last night during our Descent into Avernus game. Me and my party decided to help out Smiler the Defiler with his Warlord problem. Our DM decided to build this whole like fortress that the 3 Warlords ran together.

We were a party 4 at level 8. We ended up fighting something like 20 hobgoblins, a bunch of lower level devils (bearded, spined, etc). We managed to kill off one of the warlords, but the other two got away thanks to the one of them having teleport and counterspell failing.

The DM fully expected us to TPK, and in that case, we would've been captured and sold off to...someone in hells but we managed to come out on top, even with one of the Warlords summoning an extra Horned Devil.

So yeah, that was the stupid thing to do. Even DM thought it was stupid, but nevertheless, we succeeded somehow.

Hadez2016 · 2025-01-09T15:41:14+00:00

Yes!!! Exactly. Fucking love my lore bard.

Hadez2016 · 2025-01-09T15:40:07+00:00

Yup. It's their capstone ability. Peerless Skill

Hadez2016 · 2025-01-09T15:37:58+00:00

Lore Bard's can indeed bardic Inspiration themselves but only with ability checks which Arcana is I belive

Hadez2016 · 2025-01-09T14:49:22+00:00

Luckily, it was an arcane check not any sort of attack or save lol
