DoctorKaizeld Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 so this has bugged me for a while, so the quest to find a new sheriff is pretty straight forward. choose Meyers get a discount from nash, choose Slim prices stay the same, choose NCR prices go up. so i dont rightly care about which is best for the player because that is obvious. what i want to know is which choice is best for Primm? i'll start with Meyers so what we know is he goes with the death penalty and is Judge, Jury, Executioner. this doesnt mean he kills folk for steallin something like 5-12 caps, but it does me he is quite likely to shoot you dead for just about anything else. we also know he has a group of roughly 3-4 former convicts he deemed worthy to wear the badge to help him protect the town. i dont know whether this is good or bad, he clearly is a good sheriff, he's just quick on the trigger. odds are these men are good people who were just going down a wrong path. Slim: Slim is just a mindless robot who can be programmed to protect the town and to some extent keep people from breaking the law. NCR: the NCR are fine and all they have a decent government, they have good soldiers, and they have several companies as well that can bring bussiness to Primm. yet at the same time they have pretty high taxes which will hurt the town financially. we also know that several of the large companies the NCR have are not scarred of hostile take overs (Crimson Caravan) and could figuratively take over the town and run the towns folk into the ground. so who do you think is best over all? what are your arguments?

dangman4ever Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 NCR. While Primm now has to pay taxes, as a result of NCR protection, Primm saw massive merchant traffic. As such, they'll end up getting prosperous even with the taxes. In addition, the NCR can provide more troops in case of emergency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2much4l1 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 The weak sister here is the NCR. They can't take care of themselves without your help. Pick the sheriff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaze1514 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I really just depends on what you plan to do. If your a NCR guy, then the NCR is the best choice. Seeing as how the NCR will become more important if you help them defend the dam. If your a Hose/Independent person then Myers would probably be what you want. Finally if your a man that just wants everything to burn (AKA Legion) then having a slow week robot protect them wouldn't be a bad idea for you.

Mahonri Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) I go with Meyers because he's a badass, which is what this town needs after all it has been through. Primm is going to benefit from traffic going up and down I-15 anyway because it straddles the road. The robot is out because, if it gets attacked or breaks down, there is no one in town who can repair it. And I agree with 2much411 about the NCR being stretched to thin to wipe their own butts ATM.

charwo Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 The thing with Meyers is that the man shot was probably not so exotic as you think. Think less man that couldn't be pinned and more of a violently drunk butthole who nearrly beat his wife to death after a LONG history of abuse and screaming, and very loud threats when drunk to kill her. This kind of domestic abuse situation is the kind of thing where cop have to look on and do nothing that will work, especially in a small towwn where battered women's shelters don't exist. So Meyers killed that man and surrendered himself, seeing it a fair deal. Meyers is rough, but he's no kill happy Regulator from Fallout 1.Besides, the law has it's limits: the old sherriff wouldn't move against the convicts because they hadn't made trouble in his city, and he and his wife woke up with their throats slit. Meyers would have shot them on sight, and certainly run the first few out of town.I think Meyers is best because it allows for more flexibility and a lighter hand. NCR resources are strained as is, so even if you don't like NCR they need all theirr strenth for the Legion, which no one wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say that because Meyers never mentioned the circumstances of the shooting that landed him in jail. In addition, I can't find anything that says that the old Sheriff ignored the Powder Gangers since they're not making trouble in his town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
