Fallout: New Vegas/Tropes A to L: Difference between revisions

Line 113:

** The game itself [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] this with the loading screen tip concerning a certain perk: "Do companions annoy you by constantly running into the path of your lasers and missiles? Take the Spray and Pray perk to significantly reduce all damage you do to your companions."

** The AI of enemies are still somewhat smarter though, that they will attempt to take cover if they are outmatched and some creatures won't attack you even if they appear red unless you get too close. However, they played deliberately straight [[Attack! Attack! Attack!]] on some enemies, Deathclaws won't retreat while fiends are generally too drugged up to realize that they are outmatched.

** A particularly nasty case of this occurs with First Recon Alpha Team, Camp ~~[[Mc Carran]]~~'s elite snipers ([[The Captain|Gorobets]], [[Old Soldier|Sterling]], [[New Meat|10 of Spades]], [[Defector From Decadence|Bitter]]-[[Cold Sniper|Root]], and [[Rape as Backstory|Betsy]]). Upon wiping out the leaders of the Fiends, the entire squad will make the transfer to Camp [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Forlorn Hope]], but the route they take going there -- by foot -- leads them past a [[Gosh Hornet|Cazador nest]]. Typically, they will lose at least one or more members to giant wasp abominations of death, though only Gorobets' death is remarked on. Of course, this will only happen if you pay attention to them.Advance the clock a few hours and they'll bounce right to the camp no worse for wear.

* [[Elements Do Not Work That Way]]: Scientist Keeley wants you to ignite flammable gas in Vault 22 to destroy a [[Garden of Evil|botanical]] [[Science Is Bad|experiment]] [[Gone Horribly Wrong]]. Keeley explains that you need to detonate explosives right next to the ventilation system pumping the gas because it [[Flat What|goes inert when mixed with oxygen.]]

* [[As the Good Book Says...]]: On the edge of Searchlight is a church with a sign with Revelations 9:6 on it. In case you've forgotten, {{spoiler|the town is filled with feral ghouls you've been sent in to euthanize}}, but then again, Revelations is rarely ever [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|quoted when things are swell and dandy.]]
