Forum:Do we really have any incentive to leave Mohave?

This could be alternatively titled "Why the Hell Would I Want to Travel the Lonesome Road".

Think about it: every other time I've left the Mohave (by my own power or otherwise), I've been accosted, kidnapped, and otherwise tormented. Dead Money? Gassed, kidnapped, and shanghaied into fighting my way through poison and ex-humans for someone else's gain. Honest Hearts: Single survivor of an ambush and then, again, forced (read 'blackmailed') to work for someone else in order to get home again. And finally Old World Blues. Teleported to some distant place, experimented on, lost a couple of organs along the way, and forced into a conflict of madmen.

All I'm saying is that if we, the character, were reasonable people living in the desert, would we really want to leave what turns out to be relative safety compared with what we've experienced beyond? Wouldn't the pragmatic Wastelander say "no, thank you, I've got enough trying to kill me right where I am"?

Well maybe its more of him wanting to leave the mojave, all your points are valid, but you leave out one big thing. Your player gets shot in the head for the intro, after that anything is a cake walk. XxSick DemonxX 16:26, September 1, 2011 (UTC)
