MODERATORS
they really did the followers dirty in that game. as with all things, this is due to the rushed development of new vegas
I think Freeside was done dirty. It was supposed to be a lawless city that sits on the outskirts of the most wealthy casino resort but by the time you get there in the stereotypical playthrough the enemies that ambush you are very underpowered compared to you. It doesn't help that a lot of Freeside quests are just: "walk to this person, walk back, rinse and repeat." If Freeside presented more of a threat to the player then the Followers wouldn't be so pathetic.
But 18 months isn't nearly enough time to make a game so things had to be cut.
also, like any time a fight breaks out, there's like 5 kings and other friendly NPCs that just kill the 1 dude who has a pipe they're trying to batter you with and then they immediately die. the only 'real' fight in all of freeside is probs the shady bodyguard tourguide guy who tries to jump you with his boys
That or trying to kill the Van Graffs and steal their energy weapons, or go guns blazing and fight the securitrons defending the Vegas entrance.
