It's not the courier's fault that Lanius is a tool made for war

>no evil action in fallout 3 actually effects how the plot goes great roleplay.

It gets sucked off a lot which triggers contrarians but OP is just trolling for a NV thread
Jordan Miller
we had this same thread yesterday

I always saw this less as genius tier rhetoric and more as trying to convince someone so single-minded in their goal that it takes high speech to get through to them. Like the Bill Murray quote: “It's hard to win an argument with a smart person, but it's damn near impossible to win an argument with a stupid person.”

>"Can't we end this peacefully?" >shut the fuck up and die
The dialogue is nothing like that, but whatever seething Toddfag

the discussion isn't about military logistics
Adrian Long

That isn't what you say to him? Your argument was mostly about supply lines if I remember right, not about being able to defeat the NCR or anything

The Courier has built up a massive reputation at this point, with all three of the main factions, including Lanius's own, clamoring to work with him. That's why Lanius bothers to talk to you in the first place instead of just killing you on the spot, he respects you. Also if your speech is at 100, you are a master of pursuasion, and even some of the most stubborn people around are willing to listen to you because you're that good at talking. Also, what the Courier warns Lanius about is falling into the same trap that the NCR is, overexpanding and stretching yourself thin. That, coupled with the fact that most of the Legion's forces have been repelled by the time you talk to him anyways, leads him to retreat. Makes more sense than the dumbass Eden and Colonel Autumn speech options anyways.

There's not a single event in video games that you can't cut down into the simplest possible form and make it look bad
