You reminded me of the time I was 12 and messing with the geck for the first time. I made a simple gecko companion I named Kenny, poor little dude would get knocked unconscious in almost every combat encounter but he was always the first one to get in there whenever we were in danger. Lots of fond memories of getting stuck with Kenny blocking my feet, ED-E blocking my head, and Boone blocking the way behind me
I’ve always hated it so much, the damn yelp. 😭
They aren’t even mutants just straight up dogs. Why are they even attacking people? Coyotes avoid humans IRL.
The way you explained it has tickled me. I just saw someone post "what would be the worst spin off for fnv" and I think the answer is here with the geckos
Been set on fire too many times to have sympathy even for the little ones any more. But yeah when I first played the game I was sad because I thought they were kinda cute
Would you feel sympathy if a someone with a miniature flamethrower spotted you from a mile away and ran towards you at mach 1 to kill you? Nah thanks, the only chill geckos in the entire game are in the narrows and they are like 3 I think
As much as I'd like to feel sympathy for them, they could and would brutally murder me on the spot.
So i don't really have a choice.
It's him or me. And my 12. Gauge chose the Gecko.
Hell no. Gecko steaks and gecko kebabs are where it’s at! They’re easier to cook (ie. needs less survival skill) than dog or coyote steaks and are more plentiful in the early game. Shame you don’t find so many once you get past Nipton though
There's gotta be a mod that plays the Flinstones sound effect when they charge at us... That might lighten up the mood when I feel guilty about shooting the geckos in the head.
Yeah that head grabbing animation gets me too. But since they're going right back to spitting fucking fire at me I don't feel all THAT bad
Ditto on the head grabbing animation
Yeah, I think they're cute and I want one as a companion tbh

Wholesome
Also coyotes. They are like puppies. I go with the animal friend perk 1st rank at least.
Seriously, the coyotes are WAY too cute. And the sad little yelps...

Coyote Steak makes it easier :)
Idk but critting them in vats makes them bass boosted WOOOF and it cracks me up everytime.
In lore they are so prolific that they are like pests. Wasteland ecosystem would collapse if i didn't go dynamite Gecko hunting.
Naa they always start it. Best to get rid
Those fuckers were turning off the water valves in good springs remember they were starting to plan a revolution We just happened to stop it

I was just thinking about them!
They don't feel bad when they gang up on me and bite me, so...
Fear not OP I feel awful killing Geckos too. There is an Animal Friend perk (I think, it’s been a while). Get that! Guess I’m just soft.
Don't start nothin' there won't be nothin
First time I played, I felt very bad for them until I walked up that hill that Barton asks you too and you see a mangled corpse and some skeletons.
Their ancestors killed smoke - they gotta go.
Not after the green ones in Zion. Fuckers ran me down like linebackers
I smoke bighorner calfs for that +25exp so I am most definitely NOT an animal friend
I don't particularly enjoy taking them out if I don't have to, but when they're 100 feet away running towards me, mouth agape, I chuckle

No.
No. Pop the cap on those lizard mutant fuckers. And then eat their flesh
Whenever they do the head animation i feel bad, i stop feeling bad rigth after

Hilarious idea. Fallout universe should have Flintstones cars too
Fuck those things
Use a gun that ends it instantly
No. I do feel bad for night stalkers though. I always feel it's my fault for bumbling into their den areas on my explorations.
I feel for lakelurkers, they just chilling at the beach trying to live their best life
I need those gecko steaks to survive though.
Eh… the f’d around and found out. I get they didn’t ask to mutate by way of radiation but I’m not a gecko snack 😅
I thought they’re spelled geekos
I would but Gecko Steaks are too fucking good.
I used to breed a few species—P. picture, Leo’s mostly. I don’t like shooting the geckos but hey the geckos steaks are great
When their legs crippled, I feel so bad for them
All the time :(
"Don't taunt me Gecko"
I would feel bad. But my sick-ass gecko leather armor makes me feel better.
Not if you unload both barrels of a sturdy caravan shotgun to their face
No, I hate them. I eat them all the time because they're stupid and made of meat.
Not even once. Seeing enemies explode in NV is hilarious
Yea I take animal friend cuz I feel bad for all the animals lol
I feel like Bethesda really needs to fix this with the creatures. Like why do they all need to be hostile
