Forum:Is James really a jerk?

No, really. Everyone always talks about how nice he is, and how unlike him I am, yet when following him from Vault 112 to Rivet City I see him engage in literally every single battle he possibly can. And he doesn't just fire off a shot or two to get dudes off his back, he really hunts them down! At one point I saw him chase a fleeing, half-dead raider for 20 seconds before finishing him off with a baseball bat. All the while, he's saying shit like, "I didn't want it to be this way," and other "This hurts me more than it hurts you" kind of B.S.

What a jerk! Feneon 21:32, September 8, 2009 (UTC)Feneon

Seriously! Now I'm trying to help him get the purifier up and running and he asks me to go flip some switch in the basement. No prob, I already killed everything down there for him, because he's "not much of a fighter." Yeah, this is the same dad who was so intent on getting some bad guys that he momentarily gave up running towards Rivet City in order to pursue them into their underground hideout somewhere near the Arlington Library. Anyway, I find the switch in the basement and flip it, and the asshole says, "Great, now come all the way back up for some fuses that I'm going to make you take all the way back down to install."

I'm not buying this "hero" act. He's a jerk, same as the rest of us! Feneon 22:24, September 8, 2009 (UTC)Feneon

Nevermind. He's dead now. Feneon 23:25, September 8, 2009 (UTC)

He's a douche bag. He tells you how hard they worked to get a spring to make a friggin BB gun for you. All the while, he had been up into the wastes where all kinds of cool guns were available.

And, you're right about getting the damn fuses. How absent minded is he? Maybe that's why mom died. Maybe he forgot some critical medications prior to the birth. Or...he "forgot" them so he could get it on with Dr Li after mom was gone, the philandering bum. He's a turd. LVTDUDE 23:36, September 8, 2009 (UTC)

Also in the begining he just up and leaves your ass like some alcoholic douche bag and get his buddy killed, and gets you forced out of the vault. then when you blowup megaton he says hes disappointed. Antily3f 02:49, September 9, 2009 (UTC)
