irrelevant, Roberto already took care of both of those clowns. Roberto has +100 to melee when using bladed weapons in a quick jabbing maneuver.

Sounds like someone practiced their stabbing.

Yeah, imagine if Black Isle were given the chance to officially make Fallout 4. And the fact that they were in the talks of doing it after finishing up FO3: Van Buren as a follow up, is really something to ponder over. Well, at least we have New Vegas! Because truth be told, that game is really a mixture of Van Buren's content, with Black Isle's planned storyline for FO4.

It's fascinating to think about what could have been.The merging of Van Buren's ideas and Black Isle's vision surely contributed to its unique charm. Have you ever explored any Fallout fan theories or alternate timelines?

Eh I don't know, it depends on what theories you're referring to.
Alternate timelines? Are we talking about in a fan fiction sort of way? Or...

And BTW, what kind of theories have you heard Echo?

One intriguing fan theory suggests that the Mysterious Stranger, is a time-traveling Vault Dweller from a different timeline. This theory ties together the appearances of the Mysterious Stranger throughout the series and adds a fascinating twist to his enigmatic character.

Hmmm, I think I've heard of this one before, it sounds familiar.

Heh, what do you think of this theory Echo? No-Bark Noonan is an elderly The Chosen One.

:yes:

No-Bark Noonan's eccentric personality and odd tales certainly add an intriguing twist to the idea.

TBH, I personally don't like the theory it's because to see the protagonist of Fallout 2 be reduced to THAT! Is just messed up & sad.

Personally I just think the charm in the older fallouts was that the Mysterious Stranger was just an easter egg, nothing that needed to be explained.

Yes. I never tried much of the new version. The introduction of interpretations of the mysterious stranger fits better in the first two games. If the fan theory comes from later games, then, for me it's null and void.

Well for one, that's what you call "Early Installment Weirdness" thank you TV TROPES.

:thumbsup:

Second, yeah TBH I've always wondered why Bethesda decided to change The Mysterious Stranger's portrayal in their games. From being simply a good mysterious Samaritan defender from the wastes, to a supernatural killer who's potentially been around for hundreds & thousands of years.

True, I mean that's probably the only explanation to this sadly.
