Forum:Why are wastelanders so rude?

It's always puzzled me but you pitch up somewhere in some scary looking power armour, fully loaded with heavy weapons and a scrawny wastelander tells you to "fuck off"! The bestest example of this was recently I rescued some scavenger from certain death by killing a sentry bot that was working him over. He told me to "bugger off" and when I looked into the machine he turned hostile!! Silly boy.

In the past when I was working on keeping my "last best hope" rating intact I let it go... but now it's the goo pile for these foul mouthed creeps.

You'd think they'd show you some respect! lol

Why should they trUST you. GNR may say how awesome you are but they dont know what you look like, so you could be a slaver to them

Mmh I wasn't really coming from the 'fame' angle. More like: If you bumped into a fully armed soldier in the middle of a land with no law would your instinct be to tell him to "fuck off" if all you had with you was a .32 pistol and a leather jacket?!!

I think not :) Gunner Bill 18:04, September 24, 2009 (UTC)

Hey, Its obvious that theyre rube because there living in a post apocalyptic hell hole. Your tired hungry and thirsty, everythings trying to kill you, ppl try to enslave you, you got no real home and you have to fight for your life everyday I think Id be pissed too

Brotherhood Paladin I think Gunner Bill is on to something. If I saw someone wearing power armor and carrying a plasma rifle I would probably think twice. Especially after the guy just saved my ass!

I always did wonder why they were so rude. As a neutral character, I figure it's easy enough to understand, but as a level 30 Messiah, having done every good deed and been around for 2 in-game years, you'd think they'd know about me by now. But, nooo, instead, I save you from the Deathclaws and Overlords, and all you have to say is "Fuck off"? I mean, it is a little demeaning. Ronin 13:29, September 25, 2009 (UTC)

They are pretty rude even when your holding a gatling laser in there face, but most seem to coward and flee the minute you shot at them. --Steproy2000 14:49, September 25, 2009 (UTC)

I think that's because this is FO3 world...stucked in the river and full of assholes. And mostly are dumb, BTW. Brfritos 01:46, September 29, 2009 (UTC)
