    To the people saying that Dixie shouldn't be on the list cause this is typical Raider behavior. What separates her is how she tricks people into thinking that she is a traveller and poses no threat. Then she turns on the people around her and enjoys holotape recordings to relive the killing fantasy. There are different types of Raiders, some are more civil than others (as seen in Nuka World and Fallout 76 to which Crater does business with merchants,) some enjoy killing and pillaging. The fact is that Dixie kills for fun rather than to just steal as most Raiders. This and the collection of holotapes makes her a serial killer. She is an ambush predator like a Great White Shark or a Mountain Lion.

      @Ayo Jit that's usually what happens for me as well. Some of the encounters don't happen as they should a lot of times. Take the encounter with the 2 Art's for example. When you come across them, one is supposed to be down on his knees with the other holding him at gunpoint and you're supposed to mediate and decide what to do but 75% of the time they are already in the shootout phase that happens if you refused to make a decision.

      @@jasonoverman9679 Eh, the Art thing is simply because you only have 15 seconds to engage then in conversation.
      Its very annoying when you're fighting something else and then hear the two Arts conversation just because you got a inch to close to them dodging an attack.
      Them being added to the random encounter list doesn't help either as sometimes they show up in combat zones and die by a supermutant patrol before they can even talk.
      Because of that they start shooting because you didn't clear the encounter zone.
      The two Arts should have been a scripted event after you've discovered diamond city or even better when you've made it to the institute.
      Finding them after diamond city would be fun when traveling with either Nick, Piper, Hancock or Danse.
      Finding them after joining the Institute would be even better as you still haven't decided which side you should take. Having heard the stories from Piper and hancock and the likes.

Even lone Raiders and Settlers aren't safe from me if I deem them useless, despite being allied with both. I like to think that the only reason they don't put my character down is because while they may be a violent psychopath, they are kinda useful in dealing with the dangers of the wasteland.
      As a side note, if you manage to sneak up on a lone blood eagle (chinese stealth suit helps), you learn that most of them aren't psychopathic killers, but rather caught in a situation they simply can't get them selves out off because if they try to run the rest of the blood eagles would turn on them in an instant, and they are doing what they do just to survive (then I put them out of their misery.)

    8:02 - An FBI investigation would override a local sheriff's department investigation only if the crime being investigated took place across state lines (or, in the _Fallout_ universe's case, across commonwealth lines). It may be different in the _Fallout_ universe's version of the United States, but in our universe, the FBI doesn't have the constitutional or juridical authority to barge into a local or state law enforcement agency's investigation and demand that they cooperate with the FBI by turning over all evidence and information that they've acquired. This is part of the doctrines of interposition, states' rights, and subsidiarity.

    I always thought it would be interesting to have a serial killer, that works in a specific area in the game (like megaton or diamond city) just somewhere with a huge general population. But the NPCS could have always made comments about the behaviouristics of each of the killers ( like how they'll only target settlers or raiders, or even the type of weapon they prefer to use) just random bits and pieces of dialogues and information that we can eventually piece together to find an Npc serial killer that is part of a "secret" quest. And maybe the killer also travels around, like if you haven't found them yet there's always a random chance of stumbling upon a murder scene or a victim out in the wasteland or in the cities themselves (kinda like how we had those scripted events for the Mayor's speech and the Institute madness incident with the two brothers)

    I actually cleared out all of the Nuka-World Raiders this morning before this video came out, after having done _literally_ every other possible thing in the DLC over the past week that didn't require me to assign raider gangs to the parks I'd cleared out in order to advance their evil questline. But boy did I string them along, making them think I was ever going to do a damn thing for ANY of their parasitic asses in my role as their so-called _"Overboss",_ especially Porter Gage who I maxed out affinity with to get his companion perk and allowed to tag along the whole way through, all while telling ME that "helping (me) waste Colter was the best decision (he) ever made" (I actually think Gage was a really deep and complex character who could've done a lot of good in the world if he found the willpower to put in the thankless struggle for it, and I sincerely wish we could have rehabilitated him and convinced him to use his intelligence, creativity, and strength to help the people of the Commonwealth-but the fact that EVEN AFTER reaching max affinity with him, or hell even ROMANCING him if you choose to do so, even after having all of the fun with you that he tells you he did, telling you he'd FOLLOW YOU ANYWHERE, and sharing his life story, after all of that, the fact that THE MOMENT you kill your first raider in Nuka-World he TURNS ON YOU instead of TRUSTING you, which he does tell you he can't do for anyone anymore, tells me that there is no helping him change at that point in his life-I have a feeling that being the smart guy that he is, Gage would've recognized in the final moments that you REALLY COULD bring him back into society, and you really could have proven to him that not only are people who live the raider lifestyle weak, but that those who choose to do good in the world, help other people even if they seem ungrateful, and build up honest lives while helping in organizing a new civil society for their families, are actually stronger, let alone happier, than raiders could ever be, but once he saw you moving to carry out justice on the raiders he had thrown in his lot with, it was time for a split second decision.....and if he trusted you to carry him back to the Commonwealth to start a new life, he'd have to finally face all of the horrific atrocities he participated in, or was fully complicit in, and he panicked and couldn't do it, forcing you to put him in the ground), other than, of course, *mopping the f#%king floor with them* and acting as the unstoppable instrument of justice for all of the COUNTLESS innocents they murdered, stole from, kidnapped, enslaved, tortured, raped, and experimented on, none of whom ever got the chance to walk away with their lives and freedom.
    But this comment was really meant to be about Dixie, of the Disciples gang. When it came time for me to clean house, you know who I decided to start with? I started with Dixie, and I knew from the very beginning that she was who I was going to end first. The thing about Dixie is that if there were no other moral reasons to wipe the raiders out of Nuka-World, HER EXISTENCE ALONE is so utterly heinous, and such an affront to humanity and the ability of ordinary people to make an honest, even if extremely modest life for themselves, that it would singlehandedly justify wiping out all of the rest of them if these hypothetical morally good raiders wouldn't hand her over. But of course the raiders in the game are not good, or even morally grey, including the Operators. They are all unambiguously wicked, and none of them can be allowed to survive.
    But Dixie especially, and it's not even close. See, with Pickman, the serial killer and definitional psychopath in the base game who ritualistically and pathologically hunts down and murders _specifically only raiders,_ and who then finds artistic inspiration in killing them, which he uses to paint his vast collection of artworks (using their blood for all reds instead of red paint), there is NO ARGUMENT against the facts that he IS a bonafide psychopath, and that he IS a serial killer-none whatsoever, he is inarguably both of those things. He is a mentally broken person living in a world without intensive psychiatric help available, with conditions that only have a slim prayer of being effectively managed with said help, but the elephant in the room is who he targets, which is of course purely the parasitic scum raiding the Commonwealth, murdering innocent people, and just taking whatever they want by force right now like spoiled children, none of which they earned or deserve. There IS an argument to be made, EVEN IF JUST A UTILITARIAN ONE, for leaving Pickman alive (and I don't mean because it gets you a key to a safe of his with a special weapon inside, I mean because he is useful for killing raiders, and any one he kills, even if in the most vomit-inducing ritualistic way imaginable, is one less raider who will be sacking caravans, butchering people in the streets, abducting innocent settlers for ransom money to buy chems and more guns, etc.
    But Dixie is a psychopathic serial killer who cannot be helped or rehabilitated. There is no getting through to her, and leaving her alive to continue ritualistically manipulating people into letting her into their lives or homes for a moment, including children without a doubt, and brutally slaughtering them in front of each other, taking a compulsive "souvenir" from each of the human beings she destroyed the consciousnesses of, is unacceptable on all counts. You know what the really interesting thing about her is though, which I just learned today as I stopped her from breathing?
    She acts all girlishly charming and happy with that cute southern accent of hers, but she isn't happy. She's sick, and she damn well knows she's sick.
    Because as you kill her, she utters one final word with her last breath......."finally."

    In Fallout 3 the player character can be the worst killer kill megaton, if you are a slaver you are pretty much hearing that 99% of the VIP slaves are going to be brutally murdered or tortured, and then you can add a killer fev chemical to the water plant at the end but probably not cannon
    I am being the biggest a hole possible in my most recent play through of Fallout 3 big town is almost completely empty just a guy waiting for medical attention as his friends and doctor are either dead or sold into slavery

    You mentioned "shouldn't the FBI override a local sheriff's department?" Common misconception that comes from the old movie trope of the feds showing up and telling the local police to scram. The answer is generally no. Federal and state governments have separate jurisdictions/spheres of influence (a county government being a subdivision of a state government).
    While specific jurisdictional rules vary from state to state, the general rule is that if a murder occurs in a state, that state has jurisdiction to investigate and prosecute that murder. Because the murder occured in that county, it is under the jursdiciton of the county sheriff.
    The federal government (in this case the FBI) would only get involved *by default* if the murder happened within federal jurisdiction. The federal government might have jurisdiction over a murder if the act of murder crossed state lines or the murder occurred on federal lands such as a national park or military base. The federal government might also have jurisdiction if the murder involved something regulated by the federal government, such as federally banned controlled substances, firearms, or explosives.
    If the state government has *sole* jurisdiction over the murder, the FBI might *choose* to help in the investigation, but it is not required to, nor is the state government required to accept the FBI's help. The county sheriff could probably honestly tell the FBI to screw off and the FBI would essentially have to.
    If there is a situation in which the state and federal governments *both* have jurisdiction, they will work together, but even then the FBI can't just shove the sheriff's department aside and take control without permission.
    I thought it'd be fun to answer your question! Am a lawyer btw.

I didn’t realize who Pickman was or what he looked like. I left the house entirely at first without taking the “gift”. I went back to the little area and looked around his house after a while, but I couldn’t find him. I took his knife, and I decided that if I ever run into him again, I’ll take him out myself.

    If I were an Overboss of Nuka-World for any reason, I’d have the Disciples eliminated most of all. Out of the three factions, they’re the one I would be the most weary of.
    The Operators wants to make caps. Earning caps is something I can get behind. They’re in it for profits and that’s something which can be managed without problem.
    The Pack wants to live the tribal living and go for the hunt. They’re vicious enough to make for good deterrence against any schmoe trying to muscle in on the territory but they’re easy enough to control that they won’t aggro on potential allies without my say so. They know their place and as long as they know who’s in charge, there won’t be any problems.
    The Disciples? First, their whole embracers of death schtick are beyond what most nihilists are willing to tolerate. Interactions with their leader shows that the gang aren’t too afraid of the big boss or anyone else which as a raider gang, that’s a big problem when you’re trying to keep the peace along with the possibility of them scheming against you if given an inch. They’re willing to incite conflict when they can.
    Plus with Dixie in their ranks, having merchants manning the local business, neither appeased by caps or able to be intimidated into submission and trying to run a park alongside attempting to manage the long term enterprise of it; they’re a powder keg waiting to go off at any time.
    I wouldn’t want anything to do with the other two groups but their wants are easy enough to be fulfilled while the Disciples are just a pack of deranged animals that doesn’t have any kind of boundaries to speak of. Boundaries to keep them from causing problems to the logistics of the operation in the long run.
    Ergo, they would have to go. Also their faction perk is the worst of the three.

    Now don't quote me on this, but I think the FBI vs Sheriff thing is to do with local jurisdiction and local laws attaining to the topic. Kind of how some police departments are allowed to continue chasing a subject outside of their jurisdiction whereas others cannot. I think that in the case of the FBI being of federal jurisdiction and the Sheriff's being of county jurisdiction, the county could have some kind of law written within their procedures to allow the sheriff's department to operate separately to the agenda of that of the FBI. However in any case, while the Sheriff's department may not have to front the evidence to the FBI of their own free will, they'd likely be forced to turn in any evidence to the FBI upon request so as to not impede a federal investigation as I don't think there's any way around that. I have no idea if any of that is true, but it seems logically probable.
