Anybody else hoping Von Bach dies and we get a new and better employer?
I don't know enough about him yet. All I have seen of him was from the IGN video. Can't wait to find out how I feel about him.
Well, i like the cut of his jib so far ;) An interesting guy.
As long as he keeps the scrip coming (and doesnt commit genocide/massive war crimes), he's good by me haha
Hmm guess I am the only one that thought in the first few seconds of him talking that I wanted to pull out the shotty and unload a few rounds... maybe its my itchy trigger finger, or my murderous second personality, or that voice inside my head... or maybe its just cause he sounds like an egotistical *insert insult here* that seems like he is delving into stuff he has no idea what it is going to do... I predict he brings destruction and ruin and we are going to have to clean up the mess...
What with Earth overrun with alien fauna, huge carnivorous bugs,mutants,raiders and crazed robotic killing machines ...i doubt that theres much left for Von Bach to destroy! :D....(how would you tell the difference anyway?! xD )
My guess.. alien x human landscape = current. After Von Bach = Crater or 100% alien landscape. lol. Or he just goes the route of so many brianiac geniuses and goes mad and tries to control the world with his tech turning people and aliens into his personal army. Something along those lines maybe?Quote:

Still, I wonder what his true goal is? Is it purely profit, or something more sinister? Should be interesting to find out.
As long as he pays well for Ark tech I get from a Fall and doesn't try to fry my brain with his little EGO implant I can sleep at night, of course my last imaginary friend said I shouldn't trust him, but then again I can't remember a single imaginary friend I didn't have to kill. Hmm (grabs shovel) be back in a bit..
I'm kind of curious what all is in our contract. Are Ark Hunter's unionized? If not, that's a line of RP I could sink my teeth into.
"How dare Van Bach charge us out of our wages for extractions?! We put our lives on the line for his profit. The least he can do is cover the healthcare costs! What's more, why should we even need Van Bach? We do the work. We should reap the rewards, all of them. I say we collectivize VBI, throw Van Bach out on his ***, then use the obscene profits to carve out a place for ourselves here in Paradise; a place with no bosses, no cops, and no government! We are capable of better."
I'm thinking of a union activist and anarchist RP guild. Something like the IWW but more specific in its goals and significantly more extremist, in a cinematic way. And just to clarify, having VBI cover all extraction costs makes way more sense from a labor perspective, but it would damage the actual game. Contradictions like this are what RPing is all about.
