About this image

Chapter 5, Part finale
So, I've also come to realize that I'd like something... unique to make my courier stand out. Something more so than his personality and amnesia/schizophrenia.
So, I have a set of armor I haven't seen other couriers use... but no, that's like saying he had a unique set of eyelashes, it's not something that's mentioned alot. I was thinking of using a cool weapon, or set of weapons. And these would be my signatures. What I have for Ideas right now are:
Mosin Nagant ( I have the couriers cache mod, so I'm literally there for a good weapon.}
Ruger Mini-14
Heckler and Koch XM8
Or, a request I have, that has not been made yet. A 14mm pistol, with buttstock and barrel.

      Well... Haters gonna Hate...
      I'm sorry.
      BTW, I know I'm gonna have the XM8 in the story, I'm far too in love with the gun IRL to not use it, but what other gun do you think is good?

      That wasn't a criticism. I'll try again... It's fascinating to see him getting more and more corrupted. Niner is the perfect catalyst for this process too.

      Go with whatever you think the character would like. My character ended up with a thing for revolvers for the sound the cylinder makes when it spins. Since it works with the cowboy perk I'm working her into liking lever action rifles too.

      No, I knew you weren't critisizing me, but you said "give in to your hate." So, I made a hate joke. The 'I'm sorry' part afterword was for me making a bad joke.
      And, on the case of weapons, XM8 and Mini-14 it is, with him starting off with a Mosin Nagant named Natasha.

      Cool deal. I really liked the Mosin-Nagant Obrez from Courier's cache and would use it a lot more if it were more accurate (it's appropriate for it to be inaccurate).

      It gets even more fun to write when your characters start talking to you and telling you you're getting it wrong and what you should really write for them.

      I actually had a bit of that. In the scene from The hunt part 1, when Sam put the gun up to Cobb's head, I was just being told "no, six isn't this violent. He might not ever be. Have him enter forcefully, place his hands on his hips, and when cobb inevitably says no, beat him up. But don't be the first to pull a gun." I thought about this then went "But my way is much easier, even if it isn't entirely in character." I actually had this mental tug of war between ease of writing and in character story telling. Obviously enough, I went for ease of writing.
