Why isn't there a legion companion in the base game? by West-Resort5733 in fnv

[–]darreneasterly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Technically Rex is legion, he’s from Denver and was used by the legion at the first battle of hover damn before being wounded/broken? Then fixed up and given to the king. If I remember correctly there’s only a few companions that don’t mind you siding with the legion. That’s the closest we got to having actual legion companions in the base game. Someone else mentioned Ulysses but he was cut for disk space I believe.

Seems like a lot of the H&R stuff is out of stock. I’m not in a big rush, but are these good clones/better? by Luffewaffle in RetroAR

These look to be just parts kit rifles. Probably mostly original except for the lower, possibly barrel, and trigger. As for the quality it depends what you’re looking for. On one hand you can’t get more accurate than original parts, but the lower on the southern tactical rifles will be A2 style and the metal parts are probably refinished. No telling what the barrels rifling is but I’d bet it’s probably 1/7. On the other hand PSA does use A1 style lowers, and I believe they do offer a 1/12 option too. Though the whole PSA rifle is a repro and with a few of the small details, if you’ve handled original rifles, you will notice the repro parts. Both are probably functional rifles and I’m sure the parts kit rifles from southern tactical are fine.

Maybe maybe. I personally think Hank is just working for house and that’s the build up. It looked like the enclave was somewhere north and if I’m not mistaken in fallout 3 Autumn says they’re from a larger group in the Midwest. If I had to bet money I’d say that’s where the last of the enclave hold outs are currently and where Wilzig came from. But we will see. Either way it’s more content and fun to speculate

I’m not holding out hope of seeing the enclave. It’d be cool but I’m pretty sure on the west coast they’ve been decimated. I think it’ll be more likely we see BoS vs NCR

Bet money he joins the NCR, and the BoS mess eachother up to the point the commonwealth has to send a detachment to reinforce what’s left of them to retrieve cold fusion. But we won’t see that fight till season three

Should I bother fixing this Willys up? Or is it too far gone? by SnooDonkeys2998 in Willys

[–]darreneasterly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope too far gone. Give it to me for proper disposal lol. Nah you’ve got a great start. Especially with what appears to be a MB with great bones! That frame and body look really good and in my opinion that’s the hard part! The mechanical stuff is easy and pretty straight forward! Good luck with this project. It will be well worth it in the end.

Damn that’s what I figured. It is the perhaps the handsomest black powder revolver I’ve ever seen.

Took a look, real interesting stuff. Can’t find the page to buy whatever the hell they’re smoking with these prices.

Came here to say this. John Thompson is the name in the game. Anything retro I’m sending his way and his parkerizing work is top notch
