Even though he's technically the game's main villain, I have a hard time hating Benny.. And I may or may not be disappointed that there's no way to side with him in the vanilla game. ^^;
I always felt like Benny was a more sympathetic guy. When you think about it, he had no other choice to get that chip. He was already Dancing with the Devil since he was House's lap dog, and he felt as though Vegas had earned its sovereignty. Even after you see him in the Fort he begs you to do the right thing, even though he knows what will come next for him.
Outstanding image of Benny, Miss M! I don't hate Benny, I just want to kill him because of previous actions, tis all. And because of that jacket. Definitely that jacket is at the top of my list of reasons to shoot him.
And he's a riot, he's just so the epitome of smooth talking late 50's-early 60's hood.
P.S. However, I have to agree with Bernt, here he looks like a force to be reckoned with. No soft, bland face on this Benny at all.
Heh, thanks. I haven't changed his face at all here - just mangled it with expressions and tried to keep most of it in the shadows... Next time I have to do the main quest again, I'll probably get a Benny replacer - his weird squished/puppy-ish face in the vanilla game isn't very threatening.
True, but that's normally how it goes with the villains in movies/books/games. I say, if you need to hate someone in NV, make it House, Ulysses or Veronica.
Haha, that's a new way of looking at it... But honestly, I don't know what it is, but I can''t kill Benny. Whatever it is, it's probably the same thing that keeps me from hating Dixon, and being a horrible judge of character in general. xD

The awful suit and the bad habit of shooting PCs in the head helps a bit to hate him
In your pic he actually looks like a man you'd want to be wary about.
