Raving nutter is a d!ckhead

Post by Scotch »

Okay, perhaps I'm the only one who thinks this, but I NEVER stole anything from raving's shop (except the stuff in the lockers). However, since I like to explore, I explored the vents and turned off the security system just to see what it would do. Lo and behold, later in the game, he sent thugs to kill me.

Honestly, sending thugs seems rather cruel given that you did SAVE HIS FUCK1NG LIFE. So what does it matter if I did a little snooping? The napalm launcher sucks nuts and still costs a load, so that was a negligible reward.

I even got rid of BlackICE too, and I was the very definition of a good character (I was with PDX). After the thug incident, I had no moral apprehensions with storming his shop and gibbing him and Andreus.

Also, children that don't sound like children... WTF is up with that? Ryan and Andreus seem like 22 year olds not 12 year olds as I think they are supposed to be. OTP, you couldn't seriously find ANY children voice actors? :-k

Great mod BTW

According to "The man himself" Jimmycracker was voiced by a 14 year old Simon Denton.

I actually think the opposite myself, Scotch... I knocked out Yardbomb, and stole his most expensive shit(twice!). I stole from Raving once, killed his hitmen, payed a visit to his shop, knocked him out, and robbed him again. Yet in the Denouement if I sided with the PDX, or whatever they'd still see me as their best buddy, take my advice on whether to sell, or not, and etc. As if whatever decisions and actions I took out against them didn't matter; and all that mattered was some little advice I gave, or which ending I choose. I'm sure the same could be said for AO if you stole from him, shot up his bar, and left him(and Jackie?) alive...

Not exactly on topic, but I haven't gotten to try this yet and was curious:
Does Raving Nutter send thugs after you if you blow up his lasers rather than bypassing his security system?

Pepper spray/fire extinguisher is probably the stealthiest way.

Pepper spray works like fire extinguishers for blocking lasers?
That's brilliant, I never would've thought of that. :v:

Or if you don't want to waste any ammo, you can block the lasers with coffee cups. Doesn't work for all of them though.

You can block the lasers with whatever you want but doing so triggers them so the security goes off and Andreus goes hostile.

Nope, not with coffee. Throwing sporks are also known to work occasionally.

The security system isn't the laser, it's the burglary alarms on the display cases. If you turn off the burglary alarms, Raving sends thugs to kick your ass, simple as that.

Andreus and Ryan aren't meant to be 12-year-olds. Andreus is supposed to be 15-ish (and Andreus-the-person was 17 years when he recorded IIRC) and Ryan is meant to be in his late teens, but I confess that we prioritized good acting over sounding like a kid, you might be surprised how often the two are mutually exclusive.

I think you all have missed the point of the post:

The problem is that Raving Nutter sends people to kill you after you SAVED HIS LIFE. without you, he would be six feet under, so a little economic setback would hardly seem to justify paid assassination of a best friend, especially considering that you might actually need the weps to save all of forum city.

Perhaps so, but there are a couple of other considerations:

1) If you steal from the shop, you can pretty much get unlimited guns, and that needs a drawback.

2) Choice and consequence WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Consider that the closer you are to a person the more it hurts when that person betrays you. If a stranger does something to you that isn't betrayal at all, if you best friend does it that is about as deep as betrayal can get.

And why are you betraying him? Money.

That's got to hurt.

Just like some Trestkon's don't mind zapping a very old friend to save 1000 creds.
Can somebody tell me how I can get a custom avatar?
