This was the snippet I was talking about for the record. It plays when asking him for information at the Tampico when you're on his good side.

And it fucks me up so much because for a second dean sounds fond. Like for a moment he forgets to be bitter and just reminiscences.

But then he remembers he's supposed to be mad at Sinclair. If he's not, all of the years spent in the Villa, and everything that he did before it would mean nothing.

And it makes me wonder to what extent Dean actually hated Sinclair, and to what extent it was just Dean projecting his bitterness and cynicism onto him.

#textposting #fnv #dead money #fallout new vegas #dean domino #im articulating this badly but the point is that #i think that to some extent dean and sinclair WERE friends #at the very least they were at one point #but dean is a cynic at heart and sinclairs seemingly blind optimism at the future didnt pair with that #watching sinclair throw himself into ventures with seemingly no regard for his financial status bothered him #but instead of seeing it as blind optimism dean saw it as arrogance finding it grating #and over time it grew into resentment leading to everything that happened with the sierra madre #it is also mayhaps just a little fruity but ya know
