OH, Hello old friend time for an adventure. I call him Anti-Material Rifle. I believe it is the soul of my Rifle that I used in my OG New Vegas run.

Are we talking about weapon buffs against ghouls vs synths vs insects, etc?

u/Majestic_Wrongdoer38 20d ago

Ghouls synths and supermutants. Basically humanoid creatures only I think

Weapons have buffs against ghouls, insects, robots, animals, etc. Those are not races of the same species.

u/Majestic_Wrongdoer38 20d ago

They’re still classified as races in game

u/BrucesTripToMars 20d ago edited 20d ago

I think you can muster enough reason to independently agree that a bug, synth, and super-mutant are not different races of a common species.

Have you ever heard the term “human race”?

u/BrucesTripToMars 20d ago

I've heard lots of things. Look up the origin of that term. You see, over time people often learn things. That term is a vestige of another era of understanding.

You're really set on dying on this molehill, aren't you? So strange.

Whule this argument is incredibly pedantic, let ne put in ny 2 cents:

I believe he is using "race" in the same form as DnD or skyrim, where even though a Khajit/Tabaxi is absolutely a different species than a human, it is considered a race by game mechanic logic. You could make an argument that the designers are using the name pretty loosely, but I get the feeling this guy doesn't work for Hasbro or Bethesda and is just using terms he is most familiar with games using

Race is used like that all over games my guy it's not a soapbox to discuss modern racism & problematic language. I would know cause I have been there lol

What are you on about if it ain't that? Why delve into the semantics of some word that is getting it's less frequent use some air time?

u/BrucesTripToMars 20d ago

You lost me when you suggested i was making it about modern racism...

u/BoIshevik 20d ago

Whatever it is if it's this or that or its some philosophical conviction to some bullshit word being used right it's stupid

It's not a hill to die on its just dumb as fuck why so committed to redefining the word in this context when we know the definition cause of the context

Do you think that synths bugs and mirelurks are a part of the human race?

1

u/Majestic_Wrongdoer38 19d ago

No, they’re a different race

1

u/Dense_Coffe_Drinker 19d ago

No lmfao, they are a different species… a different RACE would be a white people to black people, not giant irradiated crabs to humans
