    based off what I understand from the mod the courier got the darkest endings for each DLC specially Nuking at least the NCR in the Lonesome Road, Defending Zion and letting Joshua regress to his old ways in Honest Hearts, and Siding with Elijah in Dead Money, and since apparently no one could contact House after the second battle most likely Wild Card Ending

    One of the more disturbing bits about DUST is how the residents of North Vegas' sewers literally preyed on people's desperations by offering promises of food and shelter. When the survivors would go down into the sewers and away from the exit, they would find nothing but a horde of rabid cannibals waiting for them. The few that are able to get away from the initial onslaught make their way back to the entrance they came from, only to find that the ladder leading to freedom has quite literally been torn from its sockets out of the wall to prevent them from escaping. They must have had only a minute of facing this horrible reality before the cannibals broke down the door blocking them from their next meal

      I mean.. even the 'good endings' still spell catastrophe for the rest of the Mojave.
      Doing an independent vegas run, either under House or Yes Man makes an enemy of the only major nation-state in the entire series. Your arm is twisted over and over, making it clear that this is the 'best' option for the people living in the region. However, it's told time and time again that the NCR presence in the Mojave is only a fraction of their forces. Once you gain their undivided attention, any foe of the NCR can simply be drowned in men and materiel. Just needs a good marketing spin and politicking to get the population angry, which they're quite skilled at. If the entire population of the NCR truly wanted Caesars Legion eradicated, it would be an easily achieved goal. Vegas is weaker than the Legion, but holds social and political sway. That's the only reason they were ever allowed to remain independent in the first place.
      Now I wanna cover the DLC endings.
      If Honest Hearts is completed morally, you end up with the Sorrows, Dead Horses, and any New Canaanite refugees being highly militarized and territorial to the north of the region. A militaristic tribe of people can cause endless struggles for any power structure. House cannot simply buy them off like the chairmen, nor can he truly wipe them out without great attrition. So the north is effectively hostile to expansion. Furthermore, the couriers inattention of the spore plants and human carriers of the contagion doomed the idyllic valley to ruin. The once-managable infection of zion was left to fester instead of being purged. The courier could come and go to the valley as they pleased, but simply chose to do nothing. It would have taken slightly more than the minimal effort spent collapsing the yao-guai cave, but nothing was done. Conflict was inevitable.
      If Old World Blues is completed morally, you leave both Mobius and the other scientists of the Think Tank alive. They make it clear that they'll continue to exercise their twisted ideas of science. From dialogue, they're clearly on the cusp of re-discovering the outside world that they were forced to forget by programming. It just takes a little more self reflection, and they'll be able to leave this place, just like in the 'worst' ending, which is actually a failure condition that requires a re-loading of a save. If you don't kill the scientists, they WILL get out and cause absolute havoc on their new petri-dish; the American southwest.
      If you complete Dead Money morally, everyone stays alive. Father Elijah is trapped in the vault and will die of dehydration in 3 days or so. Christine, Dean, and 'God' will survive to either haunt the casino or walk the wasteland. Failing to send securitrons or nuclear weaponry to this place almost guarantees that the precarious hazmat situation they have brewing would inevitably escape the complex. Even ignoring 'the cloud', the place has an active nuclear reactor supplying power. It will need maintenance and coolant or you have a small-scale chernobyl event happening. Combine that with the cloud, and it's borderline apocalyptic.
      Last but not least is The Lonesome Road. If you do this morally, either the Legion gets nuked, or none are fired. Either way, the courier is directly responsible for the destruction of Ashton and Hopeville. Therefore the courier is also directly responsible for the tunnelers and the dust storms. Nothing they do during this campaign rectifies anything they caused. The storms will spread and so will the tunnelers. This will always happen no matter what. Again, I say, failing to send securitrons or broken-arrow strikes with nuclear weapons shows a massive underestimation of the danger uncovered there.
      Through even the good endings of the game and DLCs, you easily create the conditions for 'Dust'. Any one of these threats could have stretched New Vegas' military capabilities to the breaking point. But one was not enough. The courier created or ignored severe threats and expanding badlands on every single border of the Mojave. Like House, they're a great arbiter of change, but I don't think they're good leadership material. Too goal-oriented to sit back and look at the big picture. Anyway, thanks for coming to my TED talk. 😅

    One part of the mod that I personally love was the author's attention to detail regarding the Lonesome Road DLC. If you spare and fight along side Ulysses, after the end of the main quest he delivers lines stating that both the storms and tunnelers of the Divide will destroy the Mojave Wasteland in the next twenty years.
    I just loved that the mod author somehow nailed the "it's the apocalypse, but it's about to get worse." feeling that the official developers implied.

    • @mytn4576
      @mytn4576 Рік тому +64

      To be fair, I think it would be better for factions to decline into different states, not just renamed enclave
      For example, it makes sense for the remains of a fascist USA (In fallout universe USA is basicly openly fascist) to turn into even more militaristic and fascist state
      And while a unstable republic like the NCR can turn into a fascist militaristic state, I think a more intresting option would be for them to turn into more soft power based autoritarian regime, where money and influence can get you anything you would want, and everything is kept toghether by a idea of status quoe, and not necesary military power
      Meanwhile for the Legion, it would make more sense if it turned into a war lord state, based on few clans and tribes that would constantly try to prove their worth by conquering land, and humiliating their internal rivals
      I think it is resonable that BOS would turn into a militaristic state of some sorts, but instead of it being a open dictatorship, it could be a regime simular to the starship trooper, where service in military gives you the option of actually taking part in the political structure
      I just think that factions should be able to turn into something different than enclave 2

    IMO, a more fitting way that could’ve Elijah survived wasn’t through a partnership with the courier. Instead the courier, needing someway to fund his pipe-dream of an independent Vegas, snuck out of the vault with all the gold and trapping Elijah inside. Elijah then found a way to access all the technology he could dream of from that vault. The Courier, not being able to let go of Vegas, doomed it to the same fate of the Sierra Madre. Forever preserved with red mist and hate.

      Yeah I'm pretty it's meant to follow/inspired by the Cut Post-Ending encounter from Dead Money, where if you did the "Seal Elijah Alive" Ending you could get a Random Encounter in the Mojave roughly a week later where Elijah escaped, gathered some robots, and followed your Pip-boy's signal to get his revenge.
      This is why I always prefer to help Elijah "Let Go" of his head and use it to easily drag all the Gold Bars to the elevator.

    When I first got into Dust I had a weird relationship with it. It felt so very alien to me, you said it in an earlier video about Dust, that it like seeing something cartoonish from your childhood exposed to very adult themes. Nothing in this mod captures that like what happens to Joshua. I'll be dead honest, I'm a sucker for the character, and he immediately became my favorite when first played the game. Playing Dust and going through Zion, learning who the Wendigo was hit me hard. My biggest criticism of this mod is that you can't kill Joshua, to put him out of his misery.

      Totally with you on that one.
      He's definitely my favourite character in F.N.V without a doubt. For a few different reasons. I'm not even religious though. It's not about his religion for me. Though I realise he draws on it, to cultivate his own wisdom,inner strength and path etc. I get that much. Though it's him , himself at end of the day. He's a living demi god. A god of war, tempered through hellish experiences. And a deeply spiritual, righteous man with a need for redemption. He's a guardian angel of his flocks of tribals. His tribals he seeks to protect and seek redemption through. I just don't think such an icon of a Fallout character and a warrior could be taken down by some sh#tty spores or toxic dust clouds as easy as it apparently happens .He's to smart and fast and determined to become an easy victim to such things. As cool as I think Dust is,for the most part. The fate of Joshua just does not sit right with me in this mod. I'm just glad its not officially canon. Joshua is the light in the darkness. A survivor and defender. He needs to stay a living legend in Fallout, and progress his story in it, far as I'm concerned.

I never tried to kill him in Honest Heart's. A man betrayed by the man who turned him into a soldier for his cause.Joshua was right to be filled with rage at that, and want revenge. Joshua literally burned to learn the meaning of redemption. He's still finding it, for all his killing, in the past. He's still one of most honest and righteous characters in the game. Still so much they could do with him. And he deserves to outlive Caesar and the Legion.
      I'm just glad Dust is not cannon.

    The Divide is about 270 miles away from Zion national park. How does the "long dark" exist, a tunnel that runs from one end to the other? I highly doubt the Sorrows/Dead Horses walked from Zion to the divide, got attacked by the dust walkers, then walked back through the tunnel to Zion to find it collapsed.

      House's original goal was to turn the entire Mojave affair into "one man's misadventure", making scapegoats out of Oliver and Kimball. If NCR citizens believe their tax dollars were wasted on a vanity project, the sheer resentment would theoretically prevent an9ther invasion. Proof is present in one of Hanlon's endings, as he can use the anti-war sentiment to become a senator and vote against the more militant interests.
      That said, House also drafted a treaty dealing with the distribution of clean water and electricity, and that was likely a major factor in pacifying the NCR. This Independent!Courier likely did not think that far ahead. Even if he did, the sheer number of bad decisions needed to set up Dust probably leaves him little resources to make good on the treaty.

      But it could also imply it's the same character in an alternate universe, where Shoddycast's Storyteller was a BoS Historian and this one is just a survivor of the Mojave.... maybe even Courier 8 because he witnessed all of Courier 6's feats without being directly involved

Like the world before, opposing views and goals were what eventually ended the old world. After all... war never changes

    The dust walkers are idiots tho. Like, OF COURSE whoever goes out of the tunnel is going to shoot you if you start shooting first. I'm sorry but in their case, no guilt lost.

      Yeah, no we dont, sure dust is cool, but its also an edgy fanfic using the saying of "if something can go wrong, it will go wrong", its cool as a non canon thing, but it certainly shouldnt be made canon.
