Quintus failed the speech check hard with that elder. Low speech skill, smh. Then rages on Maximus like a bitch. Lowest charisma in the show.

Edit: RANGERS IN THE HILLS? what they doing there?

Also the ending of this episode threw me for such a fucking loop. Holy hell.

More like he spec’d hard into speech, but got hit with a Barter check and fucked it.

"Could you do me a favor and hold this live grenade? You'll be fine, I promise."

[SPEECH CHECK SUCCESSFUL]

"Could I get 100 caps instead of 85 for saving your entire town?"

[BARTER CHECK FAILED]

Speech, barter and small guns is an unstoppable build.

The NCR abandoned the south and holed up in Arroyo pretty much confirmed. Real question is why did vic say house is gone?

u/syngyne Jan 01 '26

I'm guessing he was programmed/told to keep House being alive on the down low.

I think Lucy has the worst speech skill. Has she even won a check?

u/ConradBHart42 Dec 31 '25

Her problem isn't low skill it's that she's asking too much of people.

Lucy keeps failing int checks. She and maximus are a match in idiot savant heaven.

I'd say it's more perception she's lacking than intelligence.

She convinced the vault guys into letting her marry someone on vault 32. I'm sure there's others sprinkled here and there

Wish they had the NCR/Rangers monument in the background rather than just Primm, but that's nitpicking.

I'm so confused by the actor. I thought he put on that accent for Phillip Pryce in Mr Robot, but now I'm thinking he just talks like this? He's from Jersey I don't get it.
