Is he going to end up turning someone's logical understanding on how things should work upside down, I wonder?
What comic and issue is that? It looks like it could be anywhere from the 1960s through the 1980s.
With the singular exception of the sod that got the slave ring, all iterations of Paul that were seeded across the multiverse are likely happy being themselves. Including the poor fool who overwrote his soul with Conquest and the moron who injected himself with evil.
Thank you, corrected.
Aren't all of these things that you've been complaining the SI did already have?
Thank you, corrected.
Unnecessary.
Thank you, corrected.
Either "changes" or "died".
Thank you, corrected.
Pretty much.
Thank you, corrected.
Old World Blues again? Took me a quick look back to remind myself of this Paul's psuedonym: Krono. Though for a second I thought you'd started playing Tropico or something...
Sounds like someone is supplying the generalissimo with some old tech... I take it that's one of the reasons Krono's talking to him.
Sounds like sassy (and sloppy) AI responses. Develop Psychics for your state? Everyone else develops anti-psychic tech suspiciously quickly...
Not as long as it's your people filling them, eh? And were there any other candidates?
Huh. Interesting. The joy of minor side-quests having big payoffs.
That's a good thing, right? I do not know much Fallout Lore, besides it's styled after The Fifties' vision of the future, and a Nuclear War happened.
"Is cool, is cool, we get Illegals passing through all the time!"
Couldn't resist the joke, eh, Krono? Are your best Psychics called Jedi?
Surprising. I do know that the Legion are misogynistic assholes... And that they generally don't make friends, just enemies and slaves.
The man has a point. Get a reputation for no mercy or quarter, and people stop asking for it, which means having to scrape every last loyalist out of a territory...
Well, at least they aren't pointing their guns at you anymore. Not that it would have helped them if things went bad...
Now, what's he going to offer? Because I doubt the
That sort of work being beneath 'Real Men', eh? Still, they're definitely in the weaker position from the sound of it.
To quote Korath The Pursuer in 'Guardians of the Galaxy': "Who?"
From the name, I'm guessing the equivalent of Khorne Worshippers: Blood and slaughter!
And I wish we could have seen all that play out. But alas, we're stuck with mere glimpses into Krono's life, same as most of the Alternates...
So the NCR intend to roll their way down the river, sweeping all resistance before them?
Like he needs hands to kill every last person in this room?
Ah, the joy of advanced alien medical technology. Though the trick isn't all that impressive. But lifting the whole building might make him angry...
Playing dumb, eh? After all, he's clearly heard stories of the potency of Psychics if he's got anti-Psychics in place...
I'll give the man this, he is professional when it counts, isn't he? Not even a moment of hesitation or shock, just 'shit, my guards!' and pulls his gun.
I see he's a lot more interested now, eh? Imagining how he could expand his borders with a Psychic army?
Ah, yes, all business now. No more General Alkazar here. Now I see how he managed to work his way into running a country.
Not so sure of his chances of standing against the NCR and its' allies, I see. There's a man who knows which way the winds of change are blowing.
In other words, play nice, work with us, and get rewarded. Stand against us, well...
And smart enough to hedge his bets, eh?
In other words, they think he's easier to manipulate than any possible replacement...
Eh, hardly. Krono can at least make sure the NCR don't pull anything. If they do, he'll know.
Honesty! But couching it in terms friendly to the generalissimo...
No doubt there are those amongst his allies who have secret doubts about his goals... This is not an era for charity and selflessness, is it?
Seems he's liking the sound of the offer. After all, he stands to make a lot of money and political capital...
Given how badly Zoat is butchering the setting with made up fan game lore... It's really and truly for the best that it's not...
Could you just fucking leave at this point, or something?
In virtually all of my games The Republic of the Rio Grande gets conquered by Santa Anna. And that's with me buffing their start to the maximum.
No. It turns out that there's basically a huge pre-War American arms dump in his territory. It got buried in the Great War, but he's now in a position to excavate it.
Surprisingly, it was a pretty honest election. By Fallout standards.
She inherited the rulership of a medium-sized farming town and ended up leading a major nation state which she built up through mostly peaceful means. She was a gosh darn miracle worker.
No, the Legion are great at making friends. The guy who leads Caesar's bodyguard? They killed his whole family and he thinks they had it coming.
The ideology of the Legion is a little more complicated than that. It's more that they're not supposed to have any sort of self-preservation instinct. It's all supposed to be sacrificed in the service to the state.
No. More Tzeentch, really. Their elite are all psykers (that's literally what their in-game special forces are called) who have heard a strange melody and want to share it with everyone. Their final focus leads to an arcane ritual which turns their leader into a Not! daemon prince.
In my Seraph Lords game, the Legion was conquered in its entirety by the Provisional Republic of Texas.
He had no foreknowledge of those places, and isn't all that interested in most of their stuff. Groom Lake and Paradise have more than enough advanced technology for him to play with.
Yes.
