Summary
- In Fallout: New Vegas, you can pick up two perks that make you do extra damage to men and women.
- That means bisexuals are powerhouses in the game, but it doesn't stop there.
- These perks also allow you to flirt with some NPCs, which can even bypass quests and unlock unique dialogue.
We’re still feeling that Fallout fever well into June, which means that it’s time to drag that clunky T-51 power armour into 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pride Month. Get your paint buckets ready, we’re covering Fallout in a coat of rainbows.
Fan🅰s are still debating which game is the best to start with, which is all well and good any other month of the year, but the only right answer in June is New Vegas.
In Obsidian Entertaiꩲnment’s fan-favourite instalment, it’s more beneficial to be bisexual than anything else. That’s right, go woke and, instead of going broke, you’ll leave those Legion camps billowing in smoke.
New Vegas has two perks that make💧 you deal more damage to 🀅the same and opposite sex - enemies will be too distracted by how hot you are, you Creation Engine potato you.
They're called Confirmed Bachelor/Cherchez La Femme and Lady Killer/Black Widow depending on the gender of your character. They don’t just make you a bisexual powerhouse, they also open up new dialogue paths in which you can smooth talk men and women alike.
Unfortunately, while you can be bisexual, there’s only The Tops casino - no Bottoms or Switches here.
Like any RPG, there are all kinds of builds for New Vegas that try to♏ game the game, minmaxing the best possible damage. Odds are you’ll just end up a sꦗneaky sniper one-shotting enemies from across the Mojave anyway, but forget all of that for a second.
Before you delve into glass canon scientists with energy weapons that make the atom bomb look like a throwing spear, and before you dꦿecide to build up your brutish moron who beats super mutants to death with sticks, you need to lay the groundwork. And that groundwork is bisexuality.
These two perks are available from the start, and since they boost damage against both men and women—i.e. every single person in the game—being bisexual means being stronger. It’s not dependent on what weapon yoᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚu use or your stats,💞 it’s just a baseline upgrade. Why wouldn’t you pick it? Throw in the unique dialogue options that often bypass the need for charisma and you’re making New Vegas easier by embracing the ‘ol pink, blue, and purple.
For the ultimate, truest queer experience in New Vegas, you should also pick up the Stonewall perk. Need I saꦑy more?
The Courier is also canonically bisexual, so you’re doing a disservice to the story if you don’t take these perks. Okay, maybe I made that part up, but a ten percent damage increase to all human opponents is a big boon, especially if you’re playing on higher difficulties—or survival mode—and struggling🔯 to deal any significant damage early on.
Unfortunately, while you can be bisexual, there aren’t any romanceable NPCs in New Vegas like there are in future installments and other RPGs like 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Age and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Baldur’s Gate. The most you can do is sl𒆙eep around and sweet talk, but eh, the Courier is busy enough saving the Mojave from itself. We’ll find time for that after we deal with Hoovꦑer Dam.
TheGamer's Pride Month coverage is all about highlighting the games, films, shows, or any piece of media that pushes forward queer representation, and exploring how much that means to us.
