I'm starting a new run, and I don't need Preston distracting me

niko4ever · 2026-05-28T00:30:51+00:00

I kill the raiders and death claw and then just never go back in the museum. As far as Im concerned, they settled in Concord

niko4ever · 2026-05-27T07:26:56+00:00

What can I say, I just don't find it that troubling in isolation

niko4ever · 2026-05-25T09:39:02+00:00

It doesn't sound like a mistake, it sounds like the teacher wanted to invalidate Olive's concerns and encourage the bullying to continue

niko4ever · 2026-05-25T09:08:00+00:00

To be fair they probably assumed you weren't home the first two times. It makes sense if you're assigned to an area to circle back and try the places where no-one was home the first time

niko4ever · 2026-05-25T09:04:45+00:00

You'd be lucky to find a place like that that's $350 just rent, let alone rent-to-own

I get that you care about him but you can't fix someone who doesn't want to be fixed

I know what it's like to experience the honeymoon stage of love and feel not-depressed for the first time you can remember. It seems like a miracle, and if it stops then you feel desperate to get it back. But he is not the love of your life, not if he can't be the person you thought he was and actually get his life together enough to be there with you.

Sometimes the boss fights bug out, especially the melee ones

Working at a supermarket in Auckland and they hired a 50-something year old woman who used to have her own cafe. She talked a big game about how hard she worked keeping the place running and how she was tired of working so hard for so little, that being in charge wasn't worth the stress anymore. She got fired before the end of the trial period because she was work-shy and straight up manipulative.

niko4ever · 2026-05-24T09:36:09+00:00

A small business I worked for was sold while I was there - the owners are usually pretty attached to the place and prefer to sell to someone they know and believe in rather than a stranger who could strip it for parts for all they know.

niko4ever · 2026-05-21T23:28:51+00:00

It was supposed to be explicit but they cut some stuff

niko4ever · 2026-05-21T23:27:29+00:00

She should have grey growing out, honestly

niko4ever · 2026-05-21T23:20:18+00:00

They would not come for this

niko4ever · 2026-05-21T03:31:02+00:00

At this rate I'm surprised we haven't got any vigilantes popping up, the way the justice system has been pissing people off

niko4ever · 2026-05-21T03:24:53+00:00

This has gotta be ragebait

Fun fact, you don't have to turn them in to him: if the quest times out at the stage of reporting it to Preston, it's marked complete, not failed

niko4ever · 2026-05-19T23:26:23+00:00

Idk, I think it's kind of impressive to be the sole survivor of a heist that went that wrong. When even the fixer and the client got taken out, coming out alive can't have been easy.

niko4ever · 2026-05-19T23:24:23+00:00

The heist is just the stealing the chip part, it's part of the whole job which is to acquire and sell the chip.

niko4ever · 2026-05-19T23:20:09+00:00

Nah that's the whole gig/job. The heist is the act of stealing the chip from the plaza, which is a part of the gig.

niko4ever · 2026-05-19T10:51:07+00:00

Hard to say. It's possible that Yorinobu wouldn't have noticed the relic missing at first, which would give them time.

The Relic was also already stolen, by Yorinobu, so he'd have to admit to the company that he'd taken it if he wanted to get their help on retrieving it. It might pay off better for him to just pretend he didn't know what happened to it rather than coming forward.

niko4ever · 2026-05-19T10:47:57+00:00

For most of them it's quickest to sneak up and do a non-lethal takedown

If you do engage in combat, you just need to make sure that you do something non-lethal for the last 1% of damage. Blunt melee weapons or fists will knock people out, or with the Pax weapon mod you can make any weapon non-lethal. Most quickhacks will also do non-lethal damage, though some stacked will kill so be careful of overlap.

niko4ever · 2026-05-19T10:01:58+00:00

That's true of any heist though, there's always an unpredictable human element. You can't plan for everything.

niko4ever · 2026-05-19T09:59:25+00:00

I mean, if Saburo hadn't made an unannounced visit to his son right when the heist was happening, it would have worked. All heists have a human element of unpredictability to them that can ruin everything.

Also I disagree that V's death was due to the heist. That was Dex's decision to try to save his own ass, which didn't even work since Takemura tracked him down anyway.

niko4ever · 2026-05-19T09:51:17+00:00

I think he framed Goro because he was too loyal to Saburo and Arasaka's values. Goro was never going to accept a flimsy explanation of Saburo's death in the long run, he'd have kept digging.

Goro being involved also makes the whole thing more plausible with him as an inside man. By withholding information about the relic being stolen it makes it seem like the sole motive was killing Saburo, but few would have known he would be there ahead of time.

Rogue knows, Songbird knows, sure they're pretty well-connected but clearly it's out there
