Jost Amman Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Now that TFP are finally working on Bandits, NPCs and eventually Factions, I was thinking if the name "The Duke" is a homage to John Wayne in any way. It would be weird for this "title" to be associated with a bad guy... but you never know. How did TFP choose The Duke nickname for the boss of the bandits? Anyone else curious?

Urban Blackbear Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 The Duke already had his name pre-apocalypse from his operations as the head of a mafia. That's why he already had a courier system in place and was ready to bring things under his control when law and order collapsed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or "we are game about zombie after nuke so we need a nick for bandit leader" "so Duke?" "why?" "well duke nukem" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make sense, he also had taken over the parking system and refurbished the meters to run on dukes. Probably a little less useful for money laundering that way, but eh, that's where the casinos come in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 (edited) He is the self-proclaimed Duke of Navezgane. If he had called himself the President of Navezgane we'd be calling him the Prez for short. There is no connection to John Wayne. It is just the title he gave himself.

What you need is the Duke Transit Pass. $49.99 a year plus whatever parking charges you rack up.
