 	 	 	Howdy, friend. 	
 	 	 	Stay sharp out there, pardner. 	
 	 	 	I can't risk runnin' out o' ammunition. I need my weapon to always be in killing condition, 24/7. 	
 	 	 	Now see, I'm no soldier, I'm a ranger. When I'm out there I am truly alone. 	
 	 	 	No squadron backin' me up. No reinforcements coming if I get myself in trouble. 	
 	 	 	In the hands of the warrior, the melee weapon is unmatched. 	
 	 	 	It comes down to deadliness and reliability. Always has, always will, because war never changes. 	
 	 	 	Ain't no shame in second place. Sure I prefer my sledge but I'd be happy to have a gun at my side. 	They lost the debate but ultimately it doesn't matter. It was all in good fun
 	 	 	Thank's for chimin' in. Always good to get another perspective. Good luck out there! 	
 	Melee weapons are more personal. I like to feel my victim die. 	 	You're not wrong, but I hope I ne'er have to face you in a fight. 	A little taken aback by the player's love of violence.
 	My honor demands I use a warrior's weapon. 	 	I, too, follow the warrior's path. 	Approval. Recognizing the player follows a similar warrior's code to them.
 	Hackin', and whackin' and smackin' never gets old. 	 	If it's good 'nuff for Pete, it's good 'nuff for me, right? 	This is a reference to the song "Butcher Pete" that everyone in the wasteland has probably heard at some point. Kind of an inside joke.
 	 	 	Care to elaborate? 	
 	 	 	Well, I suppose that settles it. 	
 	I don't need to get close to start attacking. 	 	Fair 'nuff. Nothin' more frustratin' then racing up a lookout tower with bullets rainin' down on you just so you can get close enough to attack. 	Agrees with the player's point even though it's not their personal preference
 	Guns are more versatile. I can customize my firearm for any situation. 	 	Well, you can always mod a melee weapon too but I s'pose you've got a point. 	A bit disappointed at the player's answer but not enough to question it.
 	 	 	Of course killin' ain't everything. You need to know the weapon will get the job done in a variety of situations and won't fail you in a tight spot.	Getting back to business but in a slightly amused way (acting like this conversation is more important than it really is)
 	 	 	So let me ask you this, which type of weapon is more versatile and reliable? 	
 	 	 	You know your stuff. Mark one down for melee weapons. 	Restrained approval. Like's what the player had to say.
 	Three words: Rate of fire. 	 	Sure. I've been known to pull out the ol' automatic to mow down an entire horde o' scorched before. 	Acknowledging that the player has a point. Guns can do a lot of damage even if his personal preference is to use melee weapons.
 	It doesn't matter how strong they are when they get a bullet through their skull. 	 	Fair 'nuff. You don't need strength to pull the trigger either. Firearms, the great equalizer. 	Acknowledging the player's point but also subtly making a dig at the idea that you don't have to be strong to shoot a gun.
 	With a sniper rifle I can clear an entire raider camp without them ever even knowing where I was.	 	I've snuck my way through a Raider camp, slittin' throats without ever making a noise, but I'll admit your way is safer. 	Acknowledging the player's point but pointing out that melee weapons are effective at killing too.
 	 	 	Hogwash. You tellin' me some peashooter's gonna cause more bodily harm than a Super Sledge? 	
 	I'm happy to share my opinion. 	 	Much obliged, friend. 	
 	Prepare to be educated. 	 	Yee-haw! Look at the big brain on this one. 	Highly amused at the player's bravado.
 	I don't have time for this. 	 	Well then... giddy up, Buttercup. Come back when you find the time. 	Spoken like "no big deal but why are you wasting our time?"
 	 	 	Judgin' from your appearance, you just might have some experience with this topic. 	Eyeing up the player and can see they've obviously had experience out there in combat.
 	 	 	Care to throw your hat into the ring and help us settle this? 	Friendly invitation
 	I can always count on my gun. 	 	You just sayin' that or can you back it up? 	Digging for a real answer. Disagrees with the premise and wants to see if the player has a good reason for their choice.
 	Melee weapons never let me down. 	 	Yup, you got it. 	Approval.
 	 	 	 	
 	 	 	Close call, but accordin' to the vote, melee weapons comes out on top. 	
 	 	 	Look at that! Seems melee weapons are the undisputed kings o' killing. 	Pleased/satisfaction that they won the debate.
 	 	 	We've been debatin' for awhile now and have agreed to compare the weapons in three categories: lethality, versatility, and good, ol' fashioned fun. 	
 	 	 	Him and I go way back. We've both had our share of experiences out there and we like to compare stories whenever we cross paths. 	
 	 	 	Today we happen to be comparing weapon preferences. No surprise, but he favors firearms, while I happen to be mighty fond of melee weapons. 	
 	 	 	I'm just a simple Ranger. I live my days scoutin' the wasteland for danger and opportunity, and surviving to tell the tale. 	
 	 	 	I'm not exactly a Responder, but these folks are good people and I like to help them out from time to time. Not unlike yourself I'd wager. 	
 	Do you work for the Responders? 	 	Of course. Forgive our lack of manners!
