Roleplaying in Fallout 3 New Vegas

[Bells]

So, i managed to get myself a healthy dose of Action RPG when i got a copy of mass Effect 2 and Fallout New Vegas at the same time...

Two vastly different games (somewhat... in setting) with a strong role in Roleplaying.

You see, it's rather rare when i get to play a PC game and actually make a character out of it, actual roleplay for fun... so, since this is the first time i ever experienced these two franchises i decided to go nuts a little and alternate between them for giggles.

But you see, in Mass Effect i'm happy playing full Paragon. The nice little Boyscout who deep down inside just wishes he was Superman... at least every one else thinks he is. Just kinda made me want to rename the bastard Jesus Sheppard instead of Bells Sheppard the sassy non-formal leader who is out to do good and justice with his Engineer skills as a true full blown hero.

And then, there is Fallout new vegas... which is more open ended with it's Mute protagonist, and i really didn't feel confortable playing as a goody goody hero of the Nuclear-west... but i also don't usually have fun playing the Dick route.

So i went in a different direction and behold, bells of the west was born. A Sassy Red-headed maiden with a gentle touch for those who help her and a nasty dark side for everyone else.

You see, i like context in my RP... In F3NV i wake up in this city after getting a bullet to the head and this doctor out of no where just saves my life for free... now... i can't betray such a nice fella... i DID stole a TON of stuff from him, but no Karma out of that, so no problem! As i tried to get out of that town i noticed that these fine folks were about to get in trouble with a local Gang... well... i should help out and then make my way! Even things out, y'know?

I try to put the town together against the bad guys, and pretty much everyone is onboard... except the Dynamite hobo (but he has good reason, so i'm cool with him) and the Shop Guy... now... the Shop guy is different. For Bells of the West, he is just the sort of Scum she likes to carve a new face.

For you see, Bells like her Plasma pistols and she is pretty gun with energy weapons with a skill of 40 at just Level 2. But she has a Big knife too... a skill of 14 with those, but she likes the knife... ooh she likes it.

So, the bandits come, we kill them all! Victory for the little town as the sun is just starting to rise up.

So now Bells is ready to go on her Journey... but there is one more thing she must do. She goes to the Shop, the Prick owner is still sleeping... she crawls right next to his bed, as close as close can be... pulls out her Big Knife and there you go..... a bloody knife and a smile later, she is ready to leave town.

Ok, so she lost some karma to that, and i call Bullshti because nobody was around to see her.... but i know that doidn abd stuff is bad even if there is nobody around so okay.

And so it starts her Journey. meanwhile in a distant future, Bells Sheppard Flirts awkwardly with everything with a beating heart while teaching younglings the moral values of a full blown war hero...

Roleplaying in PC RPG's is fun...
