Okay gonna go on a slight tangent here
Am I the only one who thinks Oliver Swanick kinda ruined Nipton?
Like you know Nipton is the player's first introduction to The Legion and everything is perfect
You got Necropolis playing in the background people strapped to telephone poles tire fires that go up to the sky heads on pikes it's a perfect introduction to show how ruthless The Legion is
And then it gets ruined by some asshole yelling about a lottery completely oblivious to his situation before hand
Like I think Swanick would have been perfect if he tried to get you to turn around and get away from The Legion rather than screaming about winning a lottery as if everyone in his gang wasn't brutally tortured enslaved and killed
I mean sure you know he could not care about you or his gang like Boxcars but at least have him be in a rush to get out of Nipton before Vulpes changes his mind
I dunno I think it would be interesting to have a member of a faction most players would start off as enemies with and perceived as an actual threat by both The NCR and the local settlements be actually fucking terrified of a much larger faction and a much bigger threat rather than screaming about a lottery which isn't even a valid lottery so he really didn't win anything just his own life
Going into Nipton for the first time in a new playthrough is such a chilling experience if you have a mod that removes Swanick from the game
I dunno I just think that Swanick was a bad choice because how am I supposed to be terrified of what The Legion did to the town of Nipton if I have this guy and his stupid haircut yelling about a lottery in my face?
