That's not actually a red filter over Searchlight. That's the normal orange one, but it's washed out like everything else. As you complete Restoring Hope and improve morale the washed out filter gradually fades out and vibrancy returns to the area. Compare the start of it to the end and it's far more clear. It's supposed to represent the general depression of the area, and the fact that everyone is pretty sure the Legion are going to roll in and slaughter them at any moment. By the end, they're confident they can hold the Legion at bay and not all die horribly. At the start, Forlorn Hope is considered a death sentence. Thus all the hopeless washed out colors. The lakelurks on the platform in the lake can blast you with their sonic attack. That's also where the second Survival Guide is. It's worth finding the spot on the shore you can snipe them from. Cazadore's have always been on both sides of the road. But the ones on the right usually stay farther off the road.
Lol imagine being surprised that you're evil when you literally just killed an innocent man who was nice to you just to get his hat that you aren't even gonna use afterwards.
When I first confronted Chief Hanlon it struck me how different voice acting for his character is to everyone elses in the game. Even though he just passes along some text, his character is to me one of the most distinctive in the entire franchise. I love him for his voice alone!
25:10 There is fish in the water? But if you talk to Rose/Cass she hints towards that fish have become extinct. 37:40 I can imagine Jon in real life, crouching behing women, telling them how good their pants look.
I always thought that the fish near the sea and in the NCR were gone. However, the fish in areas that were not hit in the war, like the Moahvi, still have fish. She just assumes that they are extinct because she has never seen them. (And never bothered to look, because why would she.)
I made a stupid new vegas mod XD At the end of lonesome road, you can direct the missiles to the NCR or the legion or both as normal.. but you can also now direct the missiles to hit the damn cazadores. it removes all cazadores from the base game, and your reputation with everyone becomes idolized. It was just a silly test mod, but I still love it XD
Cazadors are the single worst creature ever conjured up by fiction, I used to be okay with wasps and hornets, even though I was attacked by a nest of them as a child, I always thought they were somewhat majestic. I saw a cazador for the first time, and now I have a crippling phobia IRL. Might just download that mod.
For the Caravan shotgun it would be two shells chambered . For the Lever action it would be X in the Mag/tube . Given the tube is just an internal Magazine both are applicable . A Clip is a piece of metal that holds bullets to be inserted into an internal magazine . This Machine is the only gun in NV that i can remember actually uses a clip maybe . Given it's a M1 Garand . And a magazine is just a box with a spring that holds bullets to be loaded into a chamber . Basically most of NV's automatics and the sniper rifle .
The radio will still get messages, and it still has the legion radio codes on it. Think of it like this, the legion will be unaware that the bug is on the radio, and with cottonwood wiped out... it basically means that radio will get messages but no longer send them. One way bug, but still a bug.
There are 3 wasteland survival guides, one in the farm, one at lone wolf radio, and one in the campground directly above the Mojave rest stop near the outpost.
+Isaac C its in the waste disposal station and as a side note there is also a recipe for crafting a wasteland guide in old world blues aswell in the Little Yangtze camp
Did you know that if you do the camp guardian quest, but don't kill all the lakelurks with halford following, then leave through the lake mead caves rather than leaving out of the front entrance (I recommend a few doses of turbo to accomplish this), halford becomes a permanent companion. He just does not regenerate health and can die, but he has a higher guns skill than any companion and is extremely resilient. I use him a lot during my playthroughs as a second human companion, I just use set essential and he never leaves. He can also follow you into dlcs, which makes the sierra madre much easier. You can use the OpenTeammateContainer 1 command to give him better gear, and he can wear anything. He is very worth giving a try. The only thing is that he follows very closely.
19:58 that ncr guy showed up in the sink for me, and does not move since I guess their is no path out of big mt. now he's just my only roommate in that place that's not a robot.
*Thank you!* Fallout New Vegas was the first fallout game I ever played, it is also my most favourite game *AND* franchise, I Stopped playing it after Fallout 4 came out, but this has made me go play it again! Danke!
I think Hanlon's public explanation and suicide is hurting morale more for the Idea that the War Hero sees this as hopeless than the scandal or the loss of him
I am definitely going to have to try this mod, I love that the developers of New Vegas clearly cared a lot about the game to make an entire game changing mod just for the fact he felt the game was rushed.
I saw you coming out of the water and thought "What about the ghouls in this area?". It's good to know that even with as much time as you have put into the game there are still new things you can uncover, makes me feel like there are things I can discover too.
not only am i glad that, like me, new vegas is your favorite game ever, but im elated to hear someone else beside me think that new vegas is beautiful. beyond the awesomeness of the gameplay, the atmosphere itself (including how it synergized with the score and radio songs) was just so home-feeling and inviting. soothing, really. i wish i lived in the new vegas version of Goodsprings in real life.
Well... sortof, It turns it into more of a sandbox horror game, while ignoring the rest of the plot. I havent tried it myself, but I dont think P:NV would be needed. Doesnt it have its own difficulty modifiers, etc? The new vegas bounties mods are pretty much the closest thing there is to "vanilla modded", I dont think Jon would be too interested in Dust or Pandemic for quite a long time.
That Coyote Mine House @13:30 appears to be a complete re-use of the main building in the Republic of Dave from Fallout 3, both the interior and exterior. No idea why this jumped out at me lol
I have a few mod suggestions Jon. www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/35998/? *Nevada Skies* (Adds weather, darker nights, etc. with options to turn on or off individual settings as you wish. Also I think it removes the filters like the red one at 2:36) www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/61501/? *Hitmans 1st Person Weapon Animations* (Revises weapon animations for 1st person. For instance, you hold a pistol with 2 hands. Also, it's by the same person that made the enhanced camera mod. *WARNING:* It makes reloads slower.) Another suggestion is *Fellout*, www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/34888/? (Simply removes the filters, adds an optional darker night time, and makes all lighting more realistic. *This is an alternative to Nevada Skies incase you don't like the weather.*)
i think Jon would be the only person I would watch play Dust. the others who play it just seem to go on and on about the difficulty and then they just sort of laugh about it. but Jon would actually explore the lore and talk about it, and treat it properly with some humor and gravity.
Also, I just want to point out that The Wasteland Survival Guide being in Nevada doesn't even make sense, several copies of that book can't be brought across the Wasteland in only four years. Doesn't really make sense why Tales Of A Junktown Jerky Vendor are in D.C. either.
Why not? Working radios are found in every Fallout game - if there's a good book, it would be easy enough to transmit to somebody else to transcribe - it would even explain the totally different type setting.
That's a fair point. It just feels weird that people on the West Coast would bother transcribing a book on Wasteland survival when people on the West Coast have jobs as builders and farmers, and even pay taxes in a restoring world order.
People traveled the California trail from Missouri to California (about 2,000 miles) in about 5 months by wagon train. Washington D.C. to Las Vegas is (by current roads) about 2,400 miles. Even if you triple the time for the added distance and, probably, more difficult travel conditions, A Brahmin caravan could, I imagine, cross the country in less then a year and a half. Also some one could have fixed up an airplane or other vehicle to transport goods. Even if they could not or did not travel there, a book called "The Wasteland Survival Guide" seems like something that would be created by people from many places just out of necessity.
"I hear they got twisters miles wide in the Midwest. It's a big ol' radioactive dustbowl now." -John Cassidy I don't really know if that sounds like something that's easy to travel through, especially in a four year period.
According to the Fallout timeline from the Wiki. 2254 A Brotherhood of Steel expedition led by Owyn Lyons is sent to Washington, D.C. 2255 The Brotherhood of Steel expeditionary force under Owyn Lyons arrives in the Capital Wasteland. And they had time to stop at The Pitt on the way to the Capital Wasteland and cleanse the area of its mutated population. If they could make the trip in about a year (two at most) then I do not see why some one else could not. Of course, as I said earlier, it could just be a different book with the same title.
Please try this quest mod out at some point in the future - www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/50146/? - If you liked the vault 118 quest in Far Harbor, you'll love this.
The laser RCW isn't awful with an energy weapons build. Its about the same weight/ damage per shot ratio as the gatling laser, so half as heavy for half the damage. Its good early on too, because with some science, micro fusion cells and energy cells can be made into EC packs for ammo, meaning you can find ammo for it everywhere.
Always bugs me when he says clips in his videos. But his ignorance makes it humorous. Specially in his Tale of two wastelands series. Bro is so knowledgeable about game design but not how guns work lol.
ah yes the old system where stealing enough times makes you as evil as a murderer though jsawyer reduces the karma lost from stealing and bumps up karma loss from murder
John (Jon?), I wanted to express my thanks to you. You've helped me get into NV (my now favourite Fallout, sorry 3) and I've now started modding it on my second play through using your mods as a basis to start.
I reccomend Project Nevada. Basically in default settings it makes the game slightly more difficult, adds sprinting ( which takes up AP) and Cybernetic mods. (But they are rare to come across. The first one you find boosts your Barter and Speed ( in Doc Mitchel's house) by 2 but you can't have him install it until you find a manual.
It makes sense that the legion is so sophisticated, because Edward Sallow (caesar) is a former follower of the apocalypse. The Legion officially came into existence only a few years after the events of Fallout 2 which set off NCR's expansion west after being barred from taking over most of the large independent areas like San Francisco and Vault City.
About the morale points in NV. Morale is how good troops feel about an upcoming battle, not how morally justified something is, so it makes sense that every day troops would feel better with the false reports than they would hearing that their higher ups are pessimists in a conspiracy to ruin everything.
If you’re watching through this series I have a pretty good tip for hardcore mode. Go to limbs before you use doctors bags. Using the bag on your whole body is pretty useless, but it can heal about half of any chosen limb.
Jon, a little explanation if I may. In Fallout 4, your character is actually an old timer, 200 years old back at a time where everything was great, thus more swimming and fun and thus more practice and all that good stuff. Not to mention the character is basically a veteran, so you'd expect him to be a pretty damn good swimmer
I think that Enhanced camera also allows you to zoom out further in third person mode, like, skyrim levels of zoom out. It also makes the camera more "central" to your character as oposed to slightly over the shoulder. I cant remember which camera mod I had on my playthrough, but Im pretty sure its the same one.
Jon thanks you for putting out this great content,it has made my life so much better these days and i probably wouldnt even still be alive f it wasnt for you, Thank you so much
I just want to mention that Chief Hanlon I think... the guy at camp golf who potentially kills himself if you say you'll turn him in.. is played by Kris Kristofferson who wrote the song "me and bobby mcgee" as well as played Whistler on blade and several other roles
Thank you for all the Fallout tips and knowledge over the past couple of years MATN... I know this is cliché but, made an account so I could comment on your vids...
The fast travel spawnpoint for Cottonwood Cove is far from the actual camp to avoid spawning behind enemy lines with an NCR aligned PC, as that would mean teleporting past the guards. Also, I believe you don't get Eye for an Eye right away because asking a civililan to scout the most threatening enemy camp out of the blue would be really strange. This way you're actually asking to do it.
Im pretty sure there's a way to get to that one radio station by coming down from the top of the mountain, I remember doing that. There's like a secret pass up that way. It's been a while since I played, but I do remember doing the quest and heading down the mountains and running into Lenk.
11:43 I'm pretty sure he went insane, killed his parents while they were completely normal, eventually thought the animals were becoming the same ghouls, and then killed himself.
A small mod I suggest adding is the Hi-Res Eyes Replacer, just to get rid of the dead look in everyone's eyes. It's a small thing but some of the vanilla eyes just clash with the improved facial textures.
For those of y'all who did get to this part, there's a trick to kill the special NCR with a barrel, and it doesn't count as you killing them, rather, it's an environment kill.
Sort of an interesting note on the real world affecting games, even though cigarettes are everywhere in new Fallouts you can't smoke them. But in 1 or 2 you could smoke but cigarettes were much rarer.
its always worth remembering that doctors in New Vegas wont actually heal you unless you have health damage, so you need to jump off a building a little to get a doctor to fix you sometimes
I'm about 8 years late on this but the clinic doesn't offer healing because you were at full health. Damage yourself with a mine or something then you can get that option.
fun fact: when you talk to the comm officers at the ranger stations while wearing a NCR disguise they will actually talk to you like you are a soldier. For instance the guy at the station near bitter springs will wonder what you did to get such a shitty job.
There's actually a third way to deal with Hanlon. If you know Caesar is dying or if he's already dead, you can convince Hanlon that the Legion is doomed. Then he'll just stop his false reports but doesn't kill himself. Of course the requires you to wait at least until act 2 to complete that quest.
Jon - if you would like a primer on guns (and what goes in them, so you don't sound like a.. British person when you talk about firearms) please feel free to message me. Please don't take that the wrong way; I love what you're doing. Fallout is my favorite franchise and I never thought I'd be interested in watching someone else play a couple hundred hours of it. Stellaris is something I picked up after watching your series on it. I wish you'd do another play-through with what you've learned on the first go-around, I felt like the Ducks were doomed from the start (after watching about the fifth episode, mostly by learning along with you and catching things you didn't specifically mention). Anyway, keep up the good work.
Wait, i thought you can convince the ranger the error of his ways with a speech check? If you know of ceasars illness (or if he is dead) i thought those were also possible solutions?
It's interesting that Dead Sea is even more sarcastic telling you to kill everyone in Camp Forlorn Hope, though you only have to kill the officers in charge.
kinda late but theres a hunting shotgun in poor condition in the back of the pickup truck outside the barn off the road towards jacobstown north of new vegas
It would have been interesting if a legion ambush or something like that hit you while delivering the new codes, as the fact that you were coming to deliver them was itself radioed ahead and this possibly overheard by the legion. Attack you after you've delivered some of the codes, and when you win, one could have a note confirming that they really were listening in
Is Latin like Spanish in terms of adjective to noun placement? I'm pretty sure "Vulpes Inculta" means something like "Desert Fox" (Not too sure though) and since "Vulpes" is fox, does that mean Inculta is the adjective?
I know this comment is old, but the meaning of his name is "Fox - Rough" when directly translated. And yeah, his name in english would be "Rough Fox" since Latin does seem to follow placements that are somewhat the same.
Jon if Caesar is killed you can convince Hanlon to not kill him self and to give up on making fake reports, this is apparent at the end with the rangers helping defend hover dam and Hanlon retiring to reeding, you should have added this to the end.
That's not actually a red filter over Searchlight. That's the normal orange one, but it's washed out like everything else. As you complete Restoring Hope and improve morale the washed out filter gradually fades out and vibrancy returns to the area. Compare the start of it to the end and it's far more clear. It's supposed to represent the general depression of the area, and the fact that everyone is pretty sure the Legion are going to roll in and slaughter them at any moment. By the end, they're confident they can hold the Legion at bay and not all die horribly. At the start, Forlorn Hope is considered a death sentence. Thus all the hopeless washed out colors.
The lakelurks on the platform in the lake can blast you with their sonic attack. That's also where the second Survival Guide is. It's worth finding the spot on the shore you can snipe them from.
Cazadore's have always been on both sides of the road. But the ones on the right usually stay farther off the road.
"Maybe I'll just mod out the colour filter..."
Anyone else enjoying watching the slippery slope in action?
yeah, soon Tomas the Tank will be replacing the Deathclaws.
That is a real mod, fyi. lol
in a year he'll be a new alchestbreach...but informative!
Soon, very soon, 'I think this dong physics mod really adds a lot of subtle realism to the game...'
itbegins.jpg
He shall download a mod for Fluffy towels
Lol imagine being surprised that you're evil when you literally just killed an innocent man who was nice to you just to get his hat that you aren't even gonna use afterwards.
"well well well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions"
We're going to take the moral high road with Hanlon a week after we made Boone murder Dusty? Very odd run, this one.
Step 1 to increasing morale: Maybe change the name of your freaking camp to something less depressing than "Forlorn Hope"!!
or even just take the Forlorn out and call it "Camp Hope"
+Joshiewowa "Camp It's-not-that-bad-here"
+Joshiewowa Many a true camp?
I know it's a joke, but Forlorn Hope is usally used in the military as a name for units at the very front of conflict or something like that.
BlazinVoid Is there a source on this? Not that I'm challenging you, I'm genuinely interested
When I first confronted Chief Hanlon it struck me how different voice acting for his character is to everyone elses in the game. Even though he just passes along some text, his character is to me one of the most distinctive in the entire franchise.
I love him for his voice alone!
So the NCR can't break Legion encryption, yet they still consider them too naive to be listening in on NCR comms? Riiiight...
The NCR are pretty bloody stupid...
+"CMDR" IKill4MySkill "Patrolling the Mojave almost makes me wish for a nuclear winter"
...said EVERY. NCR. EVER. EVERYDAY. EVERY SECOND.
25:10 There is fish in the water? But if you talk to Rose/Cass she hints towards that fish have become extinct.
37:40 I can imagine Jon in real life, crouching behing women, telling them how good their pants look.
I always thought that the fish near the sea and in the NCR were gone.
However, the fish in areas that were not hit in the war, like the Moahvi, still have fish.
She just assumes that they are extinct because she has never seen them. (And never bothered to look, because why would she.)
I made a stupid new vegas mod XD At the end of lonesome road, you can direct the missiles to the NCR or the legion or both as normal.. but you can also now direct the missiles to hit the damn cazadores. it removes all cazadores from the base game, and your reputation with everyone becomes idolized.

Cazadors are the single worst creature ever conjured up by fiction, I used to be okay with wasps and hornets, even though I was attacked by a nest of them as a child, I always thought they were somewhat majestic. I saw a cazador for the first time, and now I have a crippling phobia IRL. Might just download that mod.
That sounds like a satisfying mod.
Best mod ever.

XD XD XD XD XD LOL ECKSDEE XD LOL
It's 2 shells in the barrels. Because a double-barrel shotgun doesn't have an internal magazine like a pump action/lever action does.
More specifically, the shells go into the breech with break-barrel firearms
+Michael 1337hax Yes, that's true. I was lost for words there, haha.
What does Claire think of you 'checking out the denim textures'
Claire don't care, in fact she probably does the same thing in her own way
"I'm not perving"
He said when he looked at butts
For the Caravan shotgun it would be two shells chambered . For the Lever action it would be X in the Mag/tube . Given the tube is just an internal Magazine both are applicable . A Clip is a piece of metal that holds bullets to be inserted into an internal magazine . This Machine is the only gun in NV that i can remember actually uses a clip maybe . Given it's a M1 Garand . And a magazine is just a box with a spring that holds bullets to be loaded into a chamber . Basically most of NV's automatics and the sniper rifle .
What I never understood about this quest is you bug the radio to listen to the Legion then proceed to wipe the camp out. Leaving no one on the radio.
+ValidUsernaification Well I mean he said it sarcastically. He wasn't planning or expecting the player to actually wipe out the Legion camp.
U ncr
The radio will still get messages, and it still has the legion radio codes on it. Think of it like this, the legion will be unaware that the bug is on the radio, and with cottonwood wiped out... it basically means that radio will get messages but no longer send them. One way bug, but still a bug.
I really like how even after watching you play this game 4 times, there's still stuff I hadn't seen before (like that farm). Thanks for the video!
There are 3 wasteland survival guides, one in the farm, one at lone wolf radio, and one in the campground directly above the Mojave rest stop near the outpost.
+Isaac C there's one at the mirelurk infested scavenger platform near the sunken Boomer plane too
+Isaac C Actually there are 4. The 4th is on the platform in the middle of Lake Mead with all the Lakelurks that he passed.
I found one in Lonesome Road
Where?
+Isaac C its in the waste disposal station and as a side note there is also a recipe for crafting a wasteland guide in old world blues aswell in the Little Yangtze camp
I have a crippling fear of wasp and hornets and one of those cazadors coming straight at the camera is scarier than any jump scare.
Did you know that if you do the camp guardian quest, but don't kill all the lakelurks with halford following, then leave through the lake mead caves rather than leaving out of the front entrance (I recommend a few doses of turbo to accomplish this), halford becomes a permanent companion. He just does not regenerate health and can die, but he has a higher guns skill than any companion and is extremely resilient.

You can use the OpenTeammateContainer 1 command to give him better gear, and he can wear anything. He is very worth giving a try. The only thing is that he follows very closely.
as close as wolfguy?

*Thank you!* Fallout New Vegas was the first fallout game I ever played, it is also my most favourite game *AND* franchise, I Stopped playing it after Fallout 4 came out, but this has made me go play it again! Danke!
Your honestly my favorite UA-camr there are so many of your series that I've come back and watched multiple times
Your knowledge and understanding of this game is incredible. I had no idea that mobile parties actually spawn and make their way across the map.
At 52:40 the painting of House is a easter egg, referencing Howard Hughes, aviation poineer.
I think Hanlon's public explanation and suicide is hurting morale more for the Idea that the War Hero sees this as hopeless than the scandal or the loss of him
I am definitely going to have to try this mod, I love that the developers of New Vegas clearly cared a lot about the game to make an entire game changing mod just for the fact he felt the game was rushed.
I saw you coming out of the water and thought "What about the ghouls in this area?".
It's good to know that even with as much time as you have put into the game there are still new things you can uncover, makes me feel like there are things I can discover too.
If I remember right the Ranger Sequoia is the best non-laser pistol in the game
42:14 Jon's impression of Pingu still needs a little bit of work.
Is it just me, or do bighorners have strangely explosive heads?
not only am i glad that, like me, new vegas is your favorite game ever, but im elated to hear someone else beside me think that new vegas is beautiful. beyond the awesomeness of the gameplay, the atmosphere itself (including how it synergized with the score and radio songs) was just so home-feeling and inviting. soothing, really. i wish i lived in the new vegas version of Goodsprings in real life.
I like his walkthroughs because he gives effort into them
always look forward to sundays (:
Liver-action shotgun.
Does it shoot vodka?
28:35 That Ghoul doing that pose gave me a giggle
After this series, might you try Project Nevada and Dust together?
dust might be a bit challenging for him
It's brutal, I'm sure he'd love it!
Well... dust is.... straightup unfair a lot of the time.
Isn't that what makes it wonderful?
Well... sortof, It turns it into more of a sandbox horror game, while ignoring the rest of the plot. I havent tried it myself, but I dont think P:NV would be needed. Doesnt it have its own difficulty modifiers, etc? The new vegas bounties mods are pretty much the closest thing there is to "vanilla modded", I dont think Jon would be too interested in Dust or Pandemic for quite a long time.

I have a few mod suggestions Jon.
www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/35998/?
*Nevada Skies* (Adds weather, darker nights, etc. with options to turn on or off individual settings as you wish. Also I think it removes the filters like the red one at 2:36)

it wasnt a dirty bomb, there was radioactive material in one of the fire engine things, and the legion just blew open the containers
Also, I just want to point out that The Wasteland Survival Guide being in Nevada doesn't even make sense, several copies of that book can't be brought across the Wasteland in only four years. Doesn't really make sense why Tales Of A Junktown Jerky Vendor are in D.C. either.

According to the Fallout timeline from the Wiki.
2254 A Brotherhood of Steel expedition led by Owyn Lyons is sent to Washington, D.C.
2255 The Brotherhood of Steel expeditionary force under Owyn Lyons arrives in the Capital Wasteland.
And they had time to stop at The Pitt on the way to the Capital Wasteland and cleanse the area of its mutated population. If they could make the trip in about a year (two at most) then I do not see why some one else could not. Of course, as I said earlier, it could just be a different book with the same title.
More reasonable option: Get someone you've just met to perform elective brain surgery in a dingy building.

+Haywire09666 Eh, too game changing, like he said, this is more cosmetic changes rather than gameplay changes
+Haywire09666 He said he didn't want any game changing mods.
+hejgustavful It adds a vault and a quest. It doesn't overhaul or change anything.
+Aleks Edvokim It doesn't change anything. Of all the mods I've used, this is one of the few that fits seamlessly into the game.

Fallout is arguably the greatest game series EVER
After 5 years, I'm still laughing at Jon's description of how many shells capacity a shotgun has.
Always bugs me when he says clips in his videos. But his ignorance makes it humorous. Specially in his Tale of two wastelands series. Bro is so knowledgeable about game design but not how guns work lol.

Weirdly Charming and Odd Username :D
I reccomend Project Nevada. Basically in default settings it makes the game slightly more difficult, adds sprinting ( which takes up AP) and Cybernetic mods. (But they are rare to come across. The first one you find boosts your Barter and Speed ( in Doc Mitchel's house) by 2 but you can't have him install it until you find a manual.
Sounds interesting, maybe I'll check it out
Can't wait till Vault 22.
There's a really cool flora overhaul you can get for it.
Hopefully you show that off.
It makes sense that the legion is so sophisticated, because Edward Sallow (caesar) is a former follower of the apocalypse. The Legion officially came into existence only a few years after the events of Fallout 2 which set off NCR's expansion west after being barred from taking over most of the large independent areas like San Francisco and Vault City.
About the morale points in NV. Morale is how good troops feel about an upcoming battle, not how morally justified something is, so it makes sense that every day troops would feel better with the false reports than they would hearing that their higher ups are pessimists in a conspiracy to ruin everything.
NV:SM Episode 30-Jon is now Alchestbreach
If you’re watching through this series I have a pretty good tip for hardcore mode. Go to limbs before you use doctors bags. Using the bag on your whole body is pretty useless, but it can heal about half of any chosen limb.
the cazadores were on both sides in base game, due to the yolo run. there were cazadores on left and right on the route to jacobs town.
This is what makes me happy for it to be a Sunday
Jon, a little explanation if I may. In Fallout 4, your character is actually an old timer, 200 years old back at a time where everything was great, thus more swimming and fun and thus more practice and all that good stuff. Not to mention the character is basically a veteran, so you'd expect him to be a pretty damn good swimmer
I think that Enhanced camera also allows you to zoom out further in third person mode, like, skyrim levels of zoom out. It also makes the camera more "central" to your character as oposed to slightly over the shoulder. I cant remember which camera mod I had on my playthrough, but Im pretty sure its the same one.
First Video to watch after 2 weeks no Internet! :D
Jon thanks you for putting out this great content,it has made my life so much better these days and i probably wouldnt even still be alive f it wasnt for you,
Thank you so much
Jon when ever you say done it's at the best moments
"coy" oat-ee, new species Jon has discovered
My name is "Coye" pronounced like that
Highlight of the Week.
I just want to mention that Chief Hanlon I think... the guy at camp golf who potentially kills himself if you say you'll turn him in.. is played by Kris Kristofferson who wrote the song "me and bobby mcgee" as well as played Whistler on blade and several other roles
Thank you for all the Fallout tips and knowledge over the past couple of years MATN... I know this is cliché but, made an account so I could comment on your vids...
The fast travel spawnpoint for Cottonwood Cove is far from the actual camp to avoid spawning behind enemy lines with an NCR aligned PC, as that would mean teleporting past the guards. Also, I believe you don't get Eye for an Eye right away because asking a civililan to scout the most threatening enemy camp out of the blue would be really strange. This way you're actually asking to do it.
As much as I like the creature design in Fallout 4, Stingwings ain't got nothing on Cazadors
Im pretty sure there's a way to get to that one radio station by coming down from the top of the mountain, I remember doing that. There's like a secret pass up that way. It's been a while since I played, but I do remember doing the quest and heading down the mountains and running into Lenk.
11:43 I'm pretty sure he went insane, killed his parents while they were completely normal, eventually thought the animals were becoming the same ghouls, and then killed himself.
yo it miss fallout new vegas. the only
youtubers playing new vegas is you and alcheastbreach.
and gopher soon.....
All I do, is New Vegas videos, pretty much...
+Killer Cuban27 Nah there is quite a couple out there like metal canyon
it would be me too but i dont got shit to record with
I just did a two hour "Rimworld" vid...still gotta prep it for upload...might get it up Friday or so. :)
9:31 is that just me or does that look like the Lipton logo right above his left foot
I love all of your videos, keep up the good work!
at lone wolf radio thats southwest of goodsprings there is an wasteland survival guide it is really close to goodsprings
A small mod I suggest adding is the Hi-Res Eyes Replacer, just to get rid of the dead look in everyone's eyes. It's a small thing but some of the vanilla eyes just clash with the improved facial textures.
Pretty sure Usanagi at NVMC offered normal healing when I played JSawyer. Perhaps the option auto-hides if you're at full HP.
37:33 Good denim texture. Right.
make a shirt saying "Baby's first Gatling Laser" with a Laser RCW on it
For those of y'all who did get to this part, there's a trick to kill the special NCR with a barrel, and it doesn't count as you killing them, rather, it's an environment kill.
Jon, to clarify, a clip automatically ejects when empty. A magazine needs to be manually removed and replaced. Just to let you know :).
Sort of an interesting note on the real world affecting games, even though cigarettes are everywhere in new Fallouts you can't smoke them. But in 1 or 2 you could smoke but cigarettes were much rarer.
actually the red Rock canyon road only works in the other direction. the cliff is to steep to go from there to the outpost.
its always worth remembering that doctors in New Vegas wont actually heal you unless you have health damage, so you need to jump off a building a little to get a doctor to fix you sometimes
I'm about 8 years late on this but the clinic doesn't offer healing because you were at full health. Damage yourself with a mine or something then you can get that option.
fun fact: when you talk to the comm officers at the ranger stations while wearing a NCR disguise they will actually talk to you like you are a soldier.
For instance the guy at the station near bitter springs will wonder what you did to get such a shitty job.
There's actually a third way to deal with Hanlon. If you know Caesar is dying or if he's already dead, you can convince Hanlon that the Legion is doomed. Then he'll just stop his false reports but doesn't kill himself.
Of course the requires you to wait at least until act 2 to complete that quest.
@ 40 minutes the cazador on your right is vanilla... i always encountered it there trying to flank away from the ones on the left.
Jon - if you would like a primer on guns (and what goes in them, so you don't sound like a.. British person when you talk about firearms) please feel free to message me. Please don't take that the wrong way; I love what you're doing. Fallout is my favorite franchise and I never thought I'd be interested in watching someone else play a couple hundred hours of it.
Stellaris is something I picked up after watching your series on it. I wish you'd do another play-through with what you've learned on the first go-around, I felt like the Ducks were doomed from the start (after watching about the fifth episode, mostly by learning along with you and catching things you didn't specifically mention).
Anyway, keep up the good work.
if you become a follower usanagi will purchase at full price
I was doing the quest restoring hope and it took me three hours trying to find medx for the injured soldiers
So am I imagining things or are the textures in your modded New Vegas actually prettier than the vanilla Fallout 4?
Opinions I prefer Fallout 4 but this does look nice
he has a texture mod
+Puff right! And it's beautiful! I'm loving it
+Puff I guess I was just amazed that a six year old game can actually look better then a brand new one with the right mods...
+Jessica Featherston It looks nice, but nowhere near as good as Fallout 4 tbh.
Return to Sender, my favorite Elvis song. But anything Elvis is good
This is like watching Bob Ross. You have watched it before yet you can’t take your eyes off of it!!!
Wait, i thought you can convince the ranger the error of his ways with a speech check? If you know of ceasars illness (or if he is dead) i thought those were also possible solutions?
37:42 Ay gurl lemme check out dat denim texture u got. Shake dat texture 4 me gurl xoxoxo.
There are 4 Wasteland Survival guides in vanilla New Vegas.
The rare book is Dean's Electronics, as one is hidden in a DLC starting location. ;)
It's interesting that Dead Sea is even more sarcastic telling you to kill everyone in Camp Forlorn Hope, though you only have to kill the officers in charge.
kinda late but theres a hunting shotgun in poor condition in the back of the pickup truck outside the barn off the road towards jacobstown north of new vegas
You must have gotten that copy of duck and cover in the tent where Lent is.
It would have been interesting if a legion ambush or something like that hit you while delivering the new codes, as the fact that you were coming to deliver them was itself radioed ahead and this possibly overheard by the legion. Attack you after you've delivered some of the codes, and when you win, one could have a note confirming that they really were listening in
Yes Gouls are always in that area. An if go further west you , will run in a bomb and super mutants guarding it
Is Latin like Spanish in terms of adjective to noun placement? I'm pretty sure "Vulpes Inculta" means something like "Desert Fox" (Not too sure though) and since "Vulpes" is fox, does that mean Inculta is the adjective?
I know this comment is old, but the meaning of his name is "Fox - Rough" when directly translated. And yeah, his name in english would be "Rough Fox" since Latin does seem to follow placements that are somewhat the same.
Jon if Caesar is killed you can convince Hanlon to not kill him self and to give up on making fake reports, this is apparent at the end with the rangers helping defend hover dam and Hanlon retiring to reeding, you should have added this to the end.
