Lanius must have spat in the general direction of the Memorial from the other side of the river, and it all just sort of escalated from there, I guess...
Moore, Hsu, and Hanlon applauded his triumphant return. Men cheered, women swooned, children look in awe at the sight of the Mojave Messiah. Oliver and Kimball got on their knees and wept profusely, as if God himself was there to cast judgement. And through it all, he had only one thing to say: _"Can I go back to the memorial now, please?"_
He didn't though, if he did, Private Kowalski would immediately acquire psychic tracking of Benny and run straight in the direction he was in to confront him instead of having to go around looking for clues of where he went.
Correction: Benny shot the memorial, then cheated the chase by "killing" Kowalski. Benny: What in the god da-- Kowalski: (t-posing; looping bass-boosted audio of "MY BROTHER DIED AT THE BATTLE OF HOOVER DAM! YOU'RE DESECRATING A WAR MEMORIAL!"
Private Kowalski could have won the entire war by himself yet he just stays at the war memorial, perhaps having his brother die showed him the human element of war and thus stopped him.
You could get Kowalski to chase you without ACTUALLY desecrating the war memorial by offering to help Michael Angelo and taking a picture of the memorial.
I think the random door sound was from the other Kowalski going through one of the gates in Freeside. From my experience, the game doesn’t have distance scaling on the volume of that sound effect.
@@The_Archer-he2ft no but the game itself is basically just a game sized standalone expansion/mod for Fallout 3, so when it comes to what's under the bonnet of the game so to speak was.
Actually, it isn't a random door sound. Sometimes a prospector uses the entrance to broc flower cave and by doing so triggers this sound effect. Happened to me in several playthroughs already.
The Fallout 4 Postman run where you can only wear the Postman Uniform, attack with Deliverer and you have to complete all side quests where you deliver something.
"Deep inside... We're... Kindred spirits..." Can you beat Fallout NV as Senator Armstrong? New Vegas is perfect, it has nanomachines, skin hardening, cyberdogs. Maximum charisma, maximum punch, maximum nanomachines. Make America great again by charismatically and systematically dismantling all opposition. Complete quests in such a way that they sabotage the faction that gave them. Go to the point of no return with each major faction, doing as many side missions as you can (and making sure your successes mean future failure for your employers) and then take out the president, caesar, and house, and make yourself king of vegas with Yes Man. Any minor faction that won't follow your lead is a minor faction that needs new leadership, or needs to be erased.
"I had to lead the Legion punching enthusiasts around the camp in a conga line like I was playing Nazi Zombies" Not only did this destroy my sides, but also made me want to run trains in Zombies again.
Nerbit, hear me out: *Completing Fallout as Henry the VIII* 1) The fate of his wives matching the fate of companions (divorced - permanently leaves your service, beheaded - you kill them, died - they get killed by the plot / an NPC etc., survived - they are with you at the end of the game). 2) His legs - as a young man he was weirdly proud of his 'fine calves' - so you have to wear an oufit that shows them. Later in life he had a bad leg injury = cripple one of your legs for the end portion of the game 3) No stimpacks, just a ton of food because ... well, you just have to look at his portrait. 4) The church didn't let him do what he wanted, so he created his own religion. As they were an impediment to him, any religious groups he comes across should be destroyed.
i feel like it would work better in fallout 4 maybe? as theres certainly some more religious people over all you can come across not to mention the sons of atom
4:35 "some level of xcom bullshit." I feel you there, was playing xcom 2 yesterday, had a 95 chance to hit and missed, which blew up a truck killing one of my own soldiers in the process.
Imagine a Benny run like that, but as an April Fools gag: If you're playing as Benny, BUT Benny's supposed to shoot you at the start, and the game cannot properly start without you dying, Nerbit would only need to kill Benny AND THEN HIMSELF to end the run. No Hoover Dam. No platinum chip. I bet he'll even fucking speedrun it.
The War Memorial got shot one too many times by trolling Couriers, so Pvt Kowalski said "F it, I'm ending the war myself. For my Brother who died at the Battle of Hoover Dam." Then he proceeded to slaughter his way across the Mojave and New Vegas in the names of the NCR and his Brother. Left a trail of bodies a mile wide and filled an entire lake with the blood of Legionnaires, Lanius and Caesar. Wow, I was going to end it on a comedic note, but that took a more serious turn than I wanted...
I know I already requested this one, but I just wanted to make sure you don’t forget it, and I came up with a new idea. Beat a game as yourself. Take those “what am I” quizzes online to see what faction, armor, weapon, and S.P.E.C.I.A.L stats you get.
I feel like since he has the explosives tag means you would be justified in using frag grenades and mines. They're super common, and just cuz he doesn't have any on his person at that time doesn't mean he can't pick them up anywhere. Respect to you for making it more difficult though.
“Can you beat Fallout New Vegas as a group of Private Kowalskis while being chased by Private Kowalski” You and all companions cosplaying as Kowalski must beat FNV before he can catch up to you. The ultimate endgame
For anyone who wants to try this themselves, there's a badly damaged Service Rifle in one of the destroyed buildings just outside Boulder City. It's past where you start Boulder City Showdown.
I remember a few weeks back I shot the monument from a distance , he started coming after me and as he rounded a corner so did victor 🤦 so I wanted to see how long they’d follow and I ran the whole way to the abandon BOS bunker and started dead money. Once I finished it and was just roaming he popped in by the main gate and I shit you not he scared the fuck out of me. I JUMPED irl and almost launched my laptop. * minding my business gettting any other Shit I wanted to bring and suddenly “ mY bRoThEr dIeD tHeRe “ sheesh. Edit- victor didn’t show up till I rounded past Boulder City again.
When you miss that many shots in a row in VATS, it's probably due to the barrel of the gun extending past or through the target's head, so the bullet gets fired behind them doing no damage
You do realize there are 2 quests that give you a service rifle as a reward by going to Mojave outpost and helping ranger Jackson or doing the camp search light quest by collecting irradiated NCR dog tags
"My brother died" - Kowalski this run is basicallly you're playing the recently shot and saved twin brother of Kowalski who was put in the ground by rouge great khans when you really think about it. It's quite funny that this run can actually make some sense
Seeing you stand in front of the Kowalski NPC was like a time-loop that would forever fulfill itself and repeat at that moment. The Courier is Future Kowalski
Here is a challenge you might like “Can you beat Fallout New Vegas while being a Traitor” Basically every hour of time (up to you time wise) played you spin a wheel with 4 options “Independent” “Legion” “NCR” and “House” Which ever it lands on you must turn traitor and do everything you can to fuck over the other factions When landing on NCR for example block out that option till the other 3 have been selected and then when all 4 factions have been played Reset the wheel to start the cycle again Any weapons are fine but you must change into a uniform of the corresponding faction (if applicable) Currently in the middle of The Fort?

Stumbled across your channel not long ago and have watched everything while thoroughly enjoying all of it. The BEST one was the New Vegas Graverobber run. Fantastic.
A true Private Kowalski run would include going and killing Joshua Graham since he was the commander of the Legion's armies when Kowalski's brother was killed.
Just subscribed yesterday after watching a pretty good chunk of all your videos haha I loved the Batman challenges. Glad to be here now and I’m excited to see more of your commentary and challenges man hope you’re doing good (:
Seeing you talk about Novac made me remember something. It took me 4 years of playing nv before I ever even knew where novac was. Reason being, my copy was of used on given by a family friend and the words were all glitched out and highlighted pink, so I couldn’t read anything. Also I was young, so I didn’t really have good rational thought on quests. So all I did was sneak through the left hand side of the map(literally at the border) avoiding deathclaws and cazadors until I got to new Vegas. It was only after a while I actually played the game the right way after I got a new copy of the game.
Can you beat Dead Money without healing a single time? rules: no stimpaks, no auto-doc, no regen implant, must be on hardcore, must head straight to the DLC from Goodsprings. endurance must be set to 5 or less to avoid health regen, use of buffout is allowed if you are 1 hit away from death, however, your END must be limited to 2 if you wish to make use of it. you MUST defeat Elijah, trapping him is not allowed. if you are too annoyed by concussions, healing your head is acceptable with a doctor's bag. other consumables that do not heal (but have positive effects) are allowed, including fixer and med-x. you may heal to full health before beginning the DLC as the challenge only really starts once you're there.
Can you beat new Vegas bwhile being chased by everyone? Silver rush guard can chase you, people sleeping wil chase you if you interact with them, and nor kill squads/hit squads will too. I’m sure there are others Edit: I know you just hearted this, but I think this will have more difficulty due to the differing speeds, as this could lead to ambushes. Being chased by kowalski and Malcolm, only to see the silver rush guard and several civilians walking towards you due to backtracking could make for a good scdne
You can actually abuse the ncr radio by getting a ranger, and reverse pickpocketing a high end weapon with an ammo type that is not marked as npcs consuming it. Basically afaik, mini nukes and missiles excluded, but everything else could work. It’s because the ranger backup is marked as a non companion npc. So you could give them a Gatling laser and remnants power armor, presumably, and cast enemies in a hailstorm of laser fire. I haven’t tried it, but it should work. There’s also the incredibly powerful glitch with Veronica Santangelo to recruit all the companions. In classic fallout this was a feature not an exploit, but it’s broken because it makes it easy to have an army of 6 power armor people Zerg rush quarry junction and simply go unconscious. You have given me an interesting idea to take the travel light perk, perhaps implant grx, anything to improve movement speed. Then wake up everyone in Nellie airbase or hidden valley and use them as a de facto army. For better or worse though nv is pretty empty of enemies in most places.
Now after that bit there with Malcolm Holmes, you could do a Senator Armstrong playthrough. There are a lot of folks in the Mojave fighting for causes they don't believe in and there's definitely a lot of mention of chicken-shit beaurocrats too, the exact environment Armstrong would crush
And so the kowalski that usually hangs out outside boulder city, chased death once again after every non-ncr faction desecrated the memorial, and the mojave wasteland was forever changed.
Can you beat Fallout New Vegas as a Powder Ganger? Rules: you have to wear their faction armor as soon as possible, you cannot kill any Powder Gangers, you can only use weapons they would use, and you have to attack any NCR soldiers immediately. I'm sure you could add to the list. Thanks for keeping us all entertained, Nerbit.
Idea for a challenge run for NV: can you beat fallout NV with only gear taken from the Gomorrah, since you love going on rampages against them, how about only being able to use items from the Gomorrah, so if you kill everyone you can use whatever they’ve got, armor, guns or any other supplies.
I binged all your videos recently, great stuff. Is there any chance you would do more of Oblivion videos? The game could surely use some more love from you I think. Cheers!
Can You Bet Fallout: New Vegas while suffering multiple personality disorder? Choose six different identities in the game, each from different factions, and every time you finish talking to someone, roll the dice and see which it lands on. At that point, switch outfits and roleplay as that character until you need to roll again.

Reason being, my copy was of used on given by a family friend and the words were all glitched out and highlighted pink, so I couldn’t read anything. Also I was young, so I didn’t really have good rational thought on quests. So all I did was sneak through the left hand side of the map(literally at the border) avoiding deathclaws and cazadors until I got to new Vegas. It was only after a while I actually played the game the right way after I got a new copy of the game.
Can you beat Dead Money without healing a single time?
rules: no stimpaks, no auto-doc, no regen implant, must be on hardcore, must head straight to the DLC from Goodsprings. endurance must be set to 5 or less to avoid health regen, use of buffout is allowed if you are 1 hit away from death, however, your END must be limited to 2 if you wish to make use of it. you MUST defeat Elijah, trapping him is not allowed.
if you are too annoyed by concussions, healing your head is acceptable with a doctor's bag. other consumables that do not heal (but have positive effects) are allowed, including fixer and med-x. you may heal to full health before beginning the DLC as the challenge only really starts once you're there.
I love how upon entering Primm and being chased by that NCR trooper you had ideas for another challenge run; a shame he stopped following you lmao.
Can you beat new Vegas bwhile being chased by everyone?
Silver rush guard can chase you, people sleeping wil chase you if you interact with them, and nor kill squads/hit squads will too. I’m sure there are others
Edit: I know you just hearted this, but I think this will have more difficulty due to the differing speeds, as this could lead to ambushes. Being chased by kowalski and Malcolm, only to see the silver rush guard and several civilians walking towards you due to backtracking could make for a good scdne
Legion only chases you until you get close to NCR, like McCarran for example.
You can actually abuse the ncr radio by getting a ranger, and reverse pickpocketing a high end weapon with an ammo type that is not marked as npcs consuming it. Basically afaik, mini nukes and missiles excluded, but everything else could work. It’s because the ranger backup is marked as a non companion npc. So you could give them a Gatling laser and remnants power armor, presumably, and cast enemies in a hailstorm of laser fire. I haven’t tried it, but it should work. There’s also the incredibly powerful glitch with Veronica Santangelo to recruit all the companions. In classic fallout this was a feature not an exploit, but it’s broken because it makes it easy to have an army of 6 power armor people Zerg rush quarry junction and simply go unconscious.
You have given me an interesting idea to take the travel light perk, perhaps implant grx, anything to improve movement speed. Then wake up everyone in Nellie airbase or hidden valley and use them as a de facto army. For better or worse though nv is pretty empty of enemies in most places.
Now after that bit there with Malcolm Holmes, you could do a Senator Armstrong playthrough. There are a lot of folks in the Mojave fighting for causes they don't believe in and there's definitely a lot of mention of chicken-shit beaurocrats too, the exact environment Armstrong would crush
Yes the legend the man PVT Kowalski
And so the kowalski that usually hangs out outside boulder city, chased death once again after every non-ncr faction desecrated the memorial, and the mojave wasteland was forever changed.
Still waiting on that can you beat fallout 4 as a space marine vid
Yes a new video im readyyy
Every Friday :)
Can you beat Fallout New Vegas as a Powder Ganger? Rules: you have to wear their faction armor as soon as possible, you cannot kill any Powder Gangers, you can only use weapons they would use, and you have to attack any NCR soldiers immediately.
I'm sure you could add to the list.
Thanks for keeping us all entertained, Nerbit.
Can you beat fallout by only moving backwards ?
I think MittenSquad tried that in New Vegas :)
@@Nerbit13098 surprised he could do anything with his eyes being different area codes
I never knew Liam obrian voiced so many characters in this game!
Idea for a challenge run for NV: can you beat fallout NV with only gear taken from the Gomorrah, since you love going on rampages against them, how about only being able to use items from the Gomorrah, so if you kill everyone you can use whatever they’ve got, armor, guns or any other supplies.
redemption
So do shotguns 12 mm smgs and suits not bad playthrough
I haven’t watched this channel in a while and I’ll say it’s still as good as I remember. Love your vids
I binged all your videos recently, great stuff. Is there any chance you would do more of Oblivion videos? The game could surely use some more love from you I think. Cheers!
I think he has one in the pipeline, thankfully!
Senator Armstrong is infiltrating every single game and I love it
Can You Bet Fallout: New Vegas while suffering multiple personality disorder?
Choose six different identities in the game, each from different factions, and every time you finish talking to someone, roll the dice and see which it lands on. At that point, switch outfits and roleplay as that character until you need to roll again.
I love seeing how the game changes depending on how you play it.
First
POGGERS
Early Gang
If you go up to the grave that Benny was digging for you you can find cigarette butts that are his brand for more evidence
You have become the very thing you have feared
You can find a service rifle in the cave next to the canyon wreckage, it'll usually spawn on a dead ncr soldier in it
So now "Can you beat New Vegas as Legate Lanius" is on the table.
Bring all the tribes to heel!
