The Fallout New Vegas personality test is... uncanny

[Vern5]

It's my spring break right now and I decided to fire up Steam so I could reinstall Fallout New Vegas so I could relax in the Mojave Wasteland. I was creating my character, as usual, and I didn't feel like letting Doc Mitchell fire questions at me for ten minutes so I quickly picked out random answers in order to speed his little personality test along.

As fate would have it, I received tags on Energy Weapons, Science, and Survival.

I ALWAYS get those three tags, normally when I pick out my answers with consideration. I'm beginning to think that the New Vegas personality test is smarter than I am.

Anyone else have this feeling?

I always get Speech, Small Guns and Science.

I am indeed a manipulative pseudo-intellectual with a mean shot.

Creepy.

No.

The fact that you are picking means it isn't random.
Use dice to make each choice, and see what you get.

I just skip through all that stuff. the fact that you can't just fill in the form without going through the questionnaire is retarded.

Awww, 45 seconds times how ever many characters you actually bother making, entirely gone from your life, stop the sobbing! Doc. Mitchells voice is grand and his words whether repetitive are quite entertaining.

Repent, those that looked down upon good ol' comedic voice actors be it a favorable situation or not!

The test isn't so uncanny as is it fun the first few times around, especially when you give him the crazy, mother = human shield answer.

It turned out to be quite the opposite for me. It got everything wrong. But since I hated most everything about Fallout, that was the best part of the game.

I hate the image test and what comes to your mind... It's never got the answers I want like I still recon one of the pictures was a penis... But hey maybe i'm just sick minded and 'perv' wasn't one of the skills...

(Also my captcha was Franal... Wtf is franal??? Fr-anal? lol)

Summary: "Why does this Open-World RPG expect me to play an RPG?"

Its a ROLE playing game,
God forbid you should role play
This is the equivalent to complaining that you have to kill people in Call of Duty

Also, the absolute best FNV mod out there adds a "two bears high fiving" option into the roscarch test.

I've played it enough (or at least restarted enough times) that I know which answer will give me what, so I usually end up with what I want. Unless I get impatient after retrying for the 50th time due to a mod not working properly or whatnot then I'll just pick the top one every time and rearrange my tags later.
