Caps actually make sense in New Vegas, the lore is that people are switching back to caps as a push back against the NCR currency that people in the independent parts of Nevada don't want to use
But WHY use caps? Like he SAID in the vid? Atleast in Fallout 1 the caps/currency are backed by purified water, something EVERYTHING needs to survive and live
@@lesaustion iirc caps are used cause they 1) Are light enough to carry loads of 2) Plentiful enough to be used as a currency 3) Unable to be produced in the wasteland, so inflation is not a possibility

“If you’ve had any bugs or glitches in a fallout game lemme now in the comments.” This mans a genius. Anyone who has so much as touched a fallout game is now obligated to comment.
With Bethesda in charge? I doubt it. Fallout 3 was a lot cleaner than Fallout 2, and Fallout 4 was a lot cleaner than Fallout 3 or New Vegas. Fallout 4, notably, did not feature impactful slavery (Nuka World was just comic relief), child skeletons (apparently children were all whisked away just before the bombs dropped) or major story consequences (beyond locking the player out of a few trinkets like Deliverer).
@@justanotheranimeprofilepic oh really? Answer this then, have you taken the injec'tions offered by b i g p h a r m a? If you did, then you should know Hegelian dialectics is real and works because humans are easy to fool when they are scared.
2 things: All currency is usable elsewhere for the most part, you have to manualy sell it and they dont weigh anything just like caps (besides Gold and a few). It makes sense to have more than one currency in the post apocalyptic world against different factions and tribes.
on a related note to *34:50**,* one New Vegas thing that surprised me last time I played is that you can get banned from the Sierra Madre casino as well...!
Guess they wanted authenticity, 'cause that cryer npc actually looks young too. I think she's supposed be a young teen, so they had a young teen voice her. Just adds to the shitiness of the wasteland.

Its really neat that fallout3 had vault 76 in it, I realize its more likely when they made the new game they went "what are all our established vaults and in what areas?" but still, neat that they kept the established lore on that vault from back in fallout 3 and 76. I like that the 76 mothership zeta reference plays into the flatwoods monster
I love the absolute amount of popculture references in the fallout games, the best part is that this is also done by modders for the fallout games as well, one of my favorite mods of NV the bounties mod copys a scene from "no country for old men"
I’ve seen Eden appear a few times, I’ve also seen old lady Gibson appear outside Helios One sitting on an invisible chair with her dogs immediately hostile
There was one time in Fallout 3 when it first came out, I named my character Jesus Christ. And after leaving the vault my game just broke down. You could plainly walk through walls of any building. Any time a npc would come up to you, they would ragdoll all over the place, slapping into each other. It was nutssss. Happened on xbox 360 at the time
Most likely yes. The Vault-Tec representative stated that Nate got a freebie due to his recent military service. I’m guessing that other veterans got spots due to the ‘Welcome Home’ thing.
@@lesaustion To be fair, you can only gamble after you help Primm find a sheriff, and even then, you still need to wait a while before the casino is ready. People don’t really notice that until later on due to progressing further into the game.
Yeah since you can just wait after getting justice in primm, it’s a nice way to get caps early on. I only learned it after looking up the casino I was missing to get the achievement to get banned from every casino.

Caps make sense, actually. Money did not start as “backed” by anyone; it merely had qualities that facilities trade. Some people started using gold in a coin form, and eventually the idea spread. There was no sole king who minted coins, they just evolved over time. Most important of all was intrinsic value; it had value outside of its worth as money. Think of gold or silver. But money has other qualities. Lightweight is preferable (that’s why gold coins fell out of favor), difficult or impossible to reproduce as counterfeit, easily divisible, doesn’t degrade over time, uniform in physical characteristics. Caps have all these qualities except easily divisible. Money “backed” by some group or individual wouldn’t be preferable. For one, many other groups wouldn’t accept it. The NCR would not accept Legion money, etc. Further, as in the real world, the money issuer would have the ability to simply make more money. This is what would happen instantly, without a doubt. The issuer would inflate the currency until it was worthless, because when they print and spent the money, it still had value. Whoever accepted that money would be the one that gets screwed.
I remember the mick & Ralph's crier that knew of his immortality, I pointed a loaded shotgun right at his face at point blank range and he said "wow! I can see right down the barrel!" And I legit faltered, he knew of his immortality as a child and didn't fear death.
In 76 caps are actually backed by the Whitespring Resort, they were made a form of acceptable currency as a part of a prewar promotion Nuka Cola had with the Resort.
Literally just watched the intro before commenting, and I have gotta say that I approve of it. It is some high quality stuff that is exactly what I would say should be above the standard for the fallout community
In new Vegas it's explained that after the NCR switched to paper money many citizens didn't believe in it's value so they switched back to caps. This actually parallels what happened in history of societies that stopped using precious metals (gold, silver) in there currency.
Whenever I play new Vegas I love to see the mapping error or clap counter fitting location when you walk inside the door to the basement is on the left when it makes more sense to be on the right where the mountain is
The use of caps as currency across the wasteland because they’re hard to counterfeit makes the most sense. Naturally in places under the NCR banner and other factions like it that have their own, recognizable and hard to reproduce currency, it makes sense that those within their territories would use said currency. But for everywhere else in the wastes, something hard to fake en masse like bottle caps makes sense.
I think the bad blood rumor was really started because Todd Howard refuses to talk about New Vegas. Ever. Is it because Obsidian made a far better game than any of Bethesda's attempts in only 18 months? Could be.
They released a huge patch on day one aswell. I'd love to see what they could have done with even just a month delay. Sad that they had to rush so badly but it's impressive that NV is what they did under pressure
I just realised, there's two things that aren't included in these videos. 1) In the Hidden Valley Bunker, you can see random scribes giving lessons on BoS tactics on the blackboard, etc. scribe needs to be in the class room to do it. 2) In select interiors, a little "tune" plays. A special one, that's an electric guitar (southern rock style), it's very subtle, and easy to miss. One location that has this is in is Captain Dean's Boat Rentals. Check it out!
The Followers Outpost has a building just like it outside the Yangtze Prisoner Camp in Big MT. The room isn't quite as big, but still much bigger than the outside.
I hope the next fallout takes place in new Orleans or the great plains, imagine a radioactive tornado or a radioactive hurricane lol and then have Canada be part of a dlc, plus add darker elements like the first fallout game anyone else agree :)
The Vicky and Vance Casino was funny in vanilla New Vegas was funny, since the chips stayed in your inventory after cashing them in, meaning infinite bottle caps.
I also have some fun facts Fun fact 1: in all 5 (main) fallout games you can find aliens! Fun fact 2: in all 3 Bethesda made fallout games have lovecraftian horrors! (Dunwich Building in 3, Dunwich Borers in 4, and the interloper and baby interloper thing in 76)
When the Pitt dropped on the 360, I downloaded it immediately when it came out. Bethesda apparently patched it 5 minutes later when I called customer service the next day complaining that the Pitt dlc would crash my game. The rep on the phone was teasing me that my nerd ass stayed up late to download the dlc so fast that I got the pre patched bug. Doesn’t pay to be the early worm all the time lol
Fallout is such an incredible franchise. I love the 1950s nostalgia even though im 28, something about it all just feels right. The exploratory nature of the games and attention to detail really gets my curiosity going. Thanks man for the fun facts!
The cool thing about Come Fly With Me quest, is that if you manage to spare the feral ghouls inside the building, they will appear alongside the non-feral ghouls on the rocket site
Your father in fallout 3 quotes Bill Cosby if you attack him. He says something along the lines of “I brought you into this world, I’m not afraid to take you out of it”, which a line lifted from The Cosby Show.
The 13 year old voice actor thing used to bother me when I first found out, but thinking about logistically, in the world of fallout especially 200+ years of wasteland. There is no laws, no morals or ethics. The fallout franchise is actually pretty tame considering its the end of the world. Well besides the first 2 games
Just found out there is a unique death animation in Mother Ship Zeta where if you walk to far off the space walk area, the Lone Wanderer drifts off into the stars. It's pretty funny too

Micheal, the guy who said "Crap is the hardest stuff to make" in the fallout 1 credits (it's the last quote shown in the video) actually followed me on twitch, he was a sound designer for fallout 1, he goes around twitch helping people play the original fallout because he was tired of seeing people rage quite. Super nice guy.
I love that reference to Monty python also no doubt the Beta was a test weapon to test the projectile of the actual tesla cannon OH and fun fact: the script name of knight redden (or whatever the name is) in fallout 3 is called "red shirt script" well that's the part I remember of the script
I remeber the NCR ranger and Boomer video. Still got a chuckle when other NPCs are rag-dolled from the explosions, and they just keep on keeping on like a bomb didn't just explode 3 feet away from them.
omg.. the ending slides are actually a projector on a background, not an actual slide. That's such an ingenious way of them getting around the game engines limitations.
more facts about the bridgekeeper: the bridgekeeper attacks you with kamikaze brahmin that "charge" you and explode the bridgekeeper has high health (400) and insane armor stats (90%/100, except vs electricity) what makes him basically invulnerable unless you score armor penetrating critical hits (or inflict more than 100 damage in 1 hit) the bridgekeepers robes stats are identical to combat armor except for the missing 20 radiation resistance and weighing only half as much

6:40 you say that there is no explanation for bottlecaps being used in 76, but the explanation is that the whitespring was accepting them as legal tender because of a sponsorship by nuka-cola. So the survivors of the war started using them because the whitespring (the most well stocked vending locations in the game) was backing them
Love how the second fun fact still uses the noncanon last name of Benny Benny's last name is not Gecko. In very early drafts of the New Vegas script, Benny's original tribe was called the Gecko Family, and someone found out about this and made fanfiction of Benny having the last name Gecko Benny Gecko is not canon, it's fanon based on noncanon drafts of the New Vegas script

Hey Mantis this a really cool and interesting fact did you know that every Fallout game has a Vault?
The bridge keepers robes item description breaks the 4th wall again by stating “you have NO idea why it’s purple”
I hope the next fallout takes place in new Orleans or the great plains, imagine a radioactive tornado or a radioactive hurricane lol and then have Canada be part of a dlc, plus add darker elements like the first fallout game anyone else agree :)
The bomb screen saver was in both Fallout 1 and 2...
The Vicky and Vance Casino was funny in vanilla New Vegas was funny, since the chips stayed in your inventory after cashing them in, meaning infinite bottle caps.
this is gonna be a goddamn treat!

I also have some fun facts
Fun fact 1: in all 5 (main) fallout games you can find aliens!
Fun fact 2: in all 3 Bethesda made fallout games have lovecraftian horrors! (Dunwich Building in 3, Dunwich Borers in 4, and the interloper and baby interloper thing in 76)
i once had a glitch at the end of new vegas where instead of showing me the slides and stuff, it was just ron the narrator standing in a room
This is the series I want thank you mantis🙏
I thought I knew everything about this game, because I knew every other fact, but I never knew bennys last name was gecko.
It's not a foot fetish, he's saying she used her legs/feet to pull him in deeper.
Do you see the is go it?
Mhm 👀 sure
Sounds like someone's never heard of a footjob lol
Realistically I think she slammed her heels into his dick hole.
Damn, I thought my luck had finally turned around at the Junkyard, I didn't know it was a 100% chance lmao
When the Pitt dropped on the 360, I downloaded it immediately when it came out. Bethesda apparently patched it 5 minutes later when I called customer service the next day complaining that the Pitt dlc would crash my game. The rep on the phone was teasing me that my nerd ass stayed up late to download the dlc so fast that I got the pre patched bug. Doesn’t pay to be the early worm all the time lol
Fallout is such an incredible franchise. I love the 1950s nostalgia even though im 28, something about it all just feels right. The exploratory nature of the games and attention to detail really gets my curiosity going. Thanks man for the fun facts!
ave, true to caesar (even if a mole rate is smarter)

“Ya toes hand em over” -Benny (probably)
The cool thing about Come Fly With Me quest, is that if you manage to spare the feral ghouls inside the building, they will appear alongside the non-feral ghouls on the rocket site
12:34 I once saw a mr.house computer “running” in the direction of the strip over by the 188 trading post in the Desert
"If you've had any bugs in your fallout playthroughs let me know" Any? More like, how many?
Your father in fallout 3 quotes Bill Cosby if you attack him. He says something along the lines of “I brought you into this world, I’m not afraid to take you out of it”, which a line lifted from The Cosby Show.
The 13 year old voice actor thing used to bother me when I first found out, but thinking about logistically, in the world of fallout especially 200+ years of wasteland. There is no laws, no morals or ethics. The fallout franchise is actually pretty tame considering its the end of the world. Well besides the first 2 games
The charge-card dialogs are probably some of my favourites out of all of Fallout 4
Just found out there is a unique death animation in Mother Ship Zeta where if you walk to far off the space walk area, the Lone Wanderer drifts off into the stars. It's pretty funny too
The Winterized Power Armor has always been my go to armor for heavy combat. Along with the Gauss Rifle.
When I heard about ferals being shot on sight, I thought "well, yeah, I'd rather not be killed by a ghoul"
" I think Sniffles is just a genius"
Wow A Mole Rat Is Freaking Smarter than A Leader of a Faction, Now I Feel Bad For Elder Maxson In The Future, Watch Out Elder Maxson! He's Coming for YOU.
16:15, there are a lot of those places, the giant dinosaur in novac is one of them and the first one I notice almost instantly. and the Sink in the Big MT, maybe the door goes to an elevator up, don't know but if is the same door then it counts.
Micheal, the guy who said "Crap is the hardest stuff to make" in the fallout 1 credits (it's the last quote shown in the video) actually followed me on twitch, he was a sound designer for fallout 1, he goes around twitch helping people play the original fallout because he was tired of seeing people rage quite. Super nice guy.
hell yeah dude
I love that reference to Monty python also no doubt the Beta was a test weapon to test the projectile of the actual tesla cannon OH and fun fact: the script name of knight redden (or whatever the name is) in fallout 3 is called "red shirt script" well that's the part I remember of the script
Hey guys, did you know Fallout's name is inspired by the idea of Nuclear fallout? Where radioactive particles fall back to the earth as dust or rain.
No shit sherlock
@@prequall he's joking
I remeber the NCR ranger and Boomer video. Still got a chuckle when other NPCs are rag-dolled from the explosions, and they just keep on keeping on like a bomb didn't just explode 3 feet away from them.
omg.. the ending slides are actually a projector on a background, not an actual slide. That's such an ingenious way of them getting around the game engines limitations.
It becomes really obvious when your mod companions show up in front of your view to block the slides lol
@@markdavis180 For some reason mod companions are the only type of mod I've yet to try for fallout games.
@@Snoogen11 a lot of em are just straight up coomerbait but there's some good ones
more facts about the bridgekeeper:
the bridgekeeper attacks you with kamikaze brahmin that "charge" you and explode
the bridgekeeper has high health (400) and insane armor stats (90%/100, except vs electricity) what makes him basically invulnerable unless you score armor penetrating critical hits (or inflict more than 100 damage in 1 hit)
the bridgekeepers robes stats are identical to combat armor except for the missing 20 radiation resistance and weighing only half as much
Oh boy! I can't wait to watch a 40 minute video about facts I already know.
Glad to see that the atomic wrangler crier has her weapon sticking out of her hip in all versions
This is a compilation of my first 50 Fallout shorts for people who enjoy the long-format videos more.

Hello my fellow fallout lore fan
It’s like you read my comment! Thank you ! 😄
Thanks for killing my already dwindling social life with these long fallout videos, mantis.
Long videos > Shorts
@@thecomedygamingnetwork261 I am going to take the word of people who worked with the individuals involved over the peanut gallery on the internet.
If you want to think the devs all secretly hate each other no one will stop you, but coming to my video and claiming I am knowingly lying to people is a bit extra.
Thanks for watching my dude.

Knight:what kind of swallows?

The live note from Benny doesn't imply that he has a foot fetish.
It implies that the both of you do.
6:40 you say that there is no explanation for bottlecaps being used in 76, but the explanation is that the whitespring was accepting them as legal tender because of a sponsorship by nuka-cola. So the survivors of the war started using them because the whitespring (the most well stocked vending locations in the game) was backing them
Love how the second fun fact still uses the noncanon last name of Benny
Benny's last name is not Gecko.
In very early drafts of the New Vegas script, Benny's original tribe was called the Gecko Family, and someone found out about this and made fanfiction of Benny having the last name Gecko
Benny Gecko is not canon, it's fanon based on noncanon drafts of the New Vegas script
I had a shit day at work and really needed this. Thank you
My favorite is the cabin in the crimson caravan company that is an L shape. On the outside it bends one way and on the inside it is revered
Am I first?
Yes you are
Yep

lol nice
