There's just something so brilliantly simple about the one with Jean-Baptiste. A lot of these are overdone, too wordy, or are just kind of too edgy to actually sound threatening, but that one? *_"Raise that gun, and I'll kill everyone in here."_* It's short and sweet, I love it. It's like it comes with an artstyle change or a camera shift to show the coldness in the Courier's eyes. Or maybe I'm just overhyping it because of the delivery of the line in my head, I dunno. I still think it's cool, though.
I still really like "I will cast down your codex and bask in the dying agony of those who hold it dear", its just excessive that its kinda hilarious. i know damn well that if i and my 3 buddies with lasers rifles in power armor would be either terrified or laughing our asses of if a singular dude in leather said that to us. cuz you know theres only 2 possibilities: 1, he's bullshitting, or 2, hes actually strong enough to somehow manage that.

That sounds cool, imagine a lucky pacifist build where you just radiate a terrifying presence, but you wouldn't hurt a fly 😂.

If I add anything extra to it, I'd make it so it makes an actual key from their bones after the fight, having a little dialogue box once interacting with their corpse.
the jean Baptiste one is probably the best one of the bunch (besides 'cocks head and grins'). it isn't too wordy or overly edgy and isn't reaching. short, simple, straightforward. it plays out like a proper Terrifying Presence moment of "the threat itself is meaningless, but the 'fuck around, do it motherfukcer' feeling i get from it really makes me reconsider finding out."

Jean Baptiste is honestly one of the toughest people in NV, so I love the fact he is given pause and hesitation. He's legitimately weighing his options.

It really felt like kind of a waste in practice, ultimately being just a flavored option. It should've been more like a "worse" intimidate option, where the target completely shuts down out of fear; opening a new quest route or locking the enemy into panic mode.

"Send your whole d--- Legion if you want, I'll water the desert in their blood." "Get in that elevator and I'll make those scars on your face a pleasant memory." Whoever wrote these deserved a raise.
I love this perk even though it basically doesn’t have any real use once you get your speech stat high enough but I just love how aggressive it sounds. Reminds me of old fallout games
I wish that combat wasn't always initiated. I wish there could be moments where Terrifying Presence worked like speech checks, scaring someone into getting information. Sometimes, I don't want to fight, I just don't feel it. Sometimes, I just want to scare the piss out of someone
0:38 isn't just my favourite Terrifying Presence line, but my favourite line in the game. Veronica cautiously asking if you were kidding is the icing on the cake. It's also the most valuable use of this perk in the game, too. This is a tough fight if you can't pass the speech check.
Terrifying presence is genuinely my favorite perc the dialogue alone is enough for me though it having an actual combat use would be nice In my casual playthroughs I often roleplay it that my character is simply simply too horrific to which ever faction she aposes and that’s why she’s vilified by her foes and and why her allied factions don’t mess with her
Personally, I forgot if the game had one like Ghoulish from 3, but I think if it does, pairing the two should have made people go absolutely insane if you survived a car going off, they see the flames simmering before you, the Courier, stepped out your wounds healing as the gigger counter beeps so fast and loud the enemies could hear it, the healing of your wounds, scorched by atomic fire, showing unharmed flesh as you recover from the damage by the very radiation lingering in the wounds until a second later you stand there unharmed, even your clothes soaked so heavily in your blood, now undamaged and physically unharmed as if the fires only touched you because you WANTED them to... that caused a spark of panic in the enemies before swiftly they no longer saw a man, but a demon of the wastes, an unkillable demon birthed in atomic fire wearing the skin of a man as a joke. They drop their weapons and start begging because they know now, your presence is a death knoll for them, it is just a matter of when...
The game being full of lil moments like this, silly as they often may be, is how you know the dialogue was written by Obsidan. The AI's inconsistent, schizophrenic reaction afterward is how you know the engine was written by Bethesda.

One of the best perks in the game, even though it's purely for role play.
Brothers, help.
Damn that NCR trooper got so scared he said "i'll go jesus myself thanks"
I always imagine frank horrigan reciting these lines when i see them
5:56 when you're about to die but you have to do a 3 second unskippable animation to stop leaning against a wall
The merchant one just got me, idk why. “Like I’d stick around to find out”
*vaporized*
I love you’re so terrifying you can make Legion soldiers scream.
I love this perk even though it basically doesn’t have any real use once you get your speech stat high enough but I just love how aggressive it sounds. Reminds me of old fallout games
dude got so scared he flew
I love it when really intense dialogue ends off with the character slowly getting up from a sitting or leaning position 🤣
"Im sorry for what im about to do to you" then shoots him so hard all his limbs explode
I wish that combat wasn't always initiated. I wish there could be moments where Terrifying Presence worked like speech checks, scaring someone into getting information. Sometimes, I don't want to fight, I just don't feel it. Sometimes, I just want to scare the piss out of someone
9:22 Blud was so scared that he just activated the god mode 💀
“You better believe Benny starts sweating when you hit the F5 key”
The perk that lets you roleplay frank horrigan
The perk that makes NPCs realize that they aren't built for this.
6:50 The way they just fucking skedaddle like a cartoon
5:56 I was *NOT* prepared for that man to get fucking vaporized.
06:36 "Hmm... which 10mm Pistol will I kill you all with?"
I really wish those dialogue options wouldn't have been clicked on the second they got visible, had to go back and pause every couple seconds
0:38 isn't just my favourite Terrifying Presence line, but my favourite line in the game.
Veronica cautiously asking if you were kidding is the icing on the cake.
It's also the most valuable use of this perk in the game, too. This is a tough fight if you can't pass the speech check.
The 'brothers help!' Is delivered in such a monotone way to such a serious threat. It kills me everytime
Terrifying presence is genuinely my favorite perc the dialogue alone is enough for me though it having an actual combat use would be nice
In my casual playthroughs I often roleplay it that my character is simply simply too horrific to which ever faction she aposes and that’s why she’s vilified by her foes and and why her allied factions don’t mess with her
Personally, I forgot if the game had one like Ghoulish from 3, but I think if it does, pairing the two should have made people go absolutely insane if you survived a car going off, they see the flames simmering before you, the Courier, stepped out your wounds healing as the gigger counter beeps so fast and loud the enemies could hear it, the healing of your wounds, scorched by atomic fire, showing unharmed flesh as you recover from the damage by the very radiation lingering in the wounds until a second later you stand there unharmed, even your clothes soaked so heavily in your blood, now undamaged and physically unharmed as if the fires only touched you because you WANTED them to... that caused a spark of panic in the enemies before swiftly they no longer saw a man, but a demon of the wastes, an unkillable demon birthed in atomic fire wearing the skin of a man as a joke. They drop their weapons and start begging because they know now, your presence is a death knoll for them, it is just a matter of when...
1:26 they missed the chance for a "You're in my chair" moment with old salad dressing.
The game being full of lil moments like this, silly as they often may be, is how you know the dialogue was written by Obsidan. The AI's inconsistent, schizophrenic reaction afterward is how you know the engine was written by Bethesda.
5:55 “like I’d hang around to find out!”
*gets fucking obliterated*
