Fallout New Vegas: Defeating Legate Lanius with Barter

[frozenfox111]

is he a robot or what he talks but his mouth doesnt move

[x2did]

@frozenfox111 Umm thats a mask

[ViciousArbiter]

why is there different colors? is there different versions of this game?

[ExplodingConsole]

@ViciousArbiter No, I was using a UI mod. I unfortunately forget what it's called.

I dont get why the legion is so powerful. They dress in Ancient Roman gear that doesnt cover the whole body, and they are going against people with guns. The Legion that fights with Swords is somehow beating the NCR that has Appropriate armour and guns.

@metalgear418 The Legion uses guns...

[Arcadeprehacked]

The mod reminds me of the dialog menu in older Fallout games

Can you shoot Lanius after making a successful negotiation? :?

[hanzo661]

@NodDisciple1

No. He runs straight off while you're unholstering your weapon.

[ExplodingConsole]

@NodDisciple1 I think it's possible using VATS. he moves pretty fast though.

[Ricardo7250]

@NodDisciple1 but look at 4:16, it has a delay on the movement, like a cutscene, to make it unable to attack him

@NodDisciple1 enableplayercontrols all it needs is fast reflexes

very interesting. Ive never used barter except in the from level 26 and up because all other skills I think are important are maxed to my liking.

Lanius is one of the coolest bosses Ive seen in games, his weakness is speech anything else is a gamble. No speech check you you will be in for a major fight vs the Legate and his legionaries, speech check of 80 or 85 gets you a sole fight with Lanius, except well all your back up. He is a tough opponent but is killable with this check.

@madhippy3 barter is very good and for many players is a good substitute for repair, and speech

all skill in new vegas are great
