@Dreamers Radical_CC I think Oblivion and Skyrim are fine. I mean they aren't narrative masterpieces or anything, but they work as decent high fantasy stories, and the stress is on the exploration and the world anyway, and those have always been good. The problem is that Fallout is different. Fallout is about humanity, about deep concepts and questions of morality and society. The world of Fallout is not inherently intriguing. It's just our world but in ruins. Finding a gas station is not the same as finding some overgrown castle in Oblivion. The gas station needs some interesting lore and inhabitants to be interesting. That's what Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 often fail to do. Once you've seen a power plant, you've seen them all. The only reason to enter another one is the hope of finding some crazy, well written side quest there with memorable characters, and New Vegas completely delivers on that. Elder Scrolls could definitely not be hurt by some of that, but the fantasy setting still makes it interesting enough to enter your 15th dungeon because you never know what visual spectacle awaits you at the end.
@Dreamers Radical_CC That is true, a good story can only make things better. I actually distinctly remember the Dark Brotherhood questline from Skyrim. It was the only one with actually interesting and unique characters, the twists worked as well and they even managed to sneak some emotion into it. Sadly, there is little chance Elder Scrolls 6 will be any different. In fact, it is doubtful that it will even hit the previous games' level. For that to happen, people need to stop defending Bethesda's horrible attitude towards game development. I mean there are people who wholeheartedly support Fallout 76 and go out of their way to let everyone know that it's an amazing game. Bethesda needs to fall big, and I mean BIG with Starfield for them to even consider changing the formula. As long as people are staisfied with a 100 year old engine, shitty writing and barely functioning games, why would they try anything different?
It's the perfect song.. No matter what paths you chose, no matter who you supported or killed.. I always imagined the Courier walking out into the desert, never to be seen again. Just like the Rings, Tales would become stories, stories would become legends, legends would become myths.

I love it when the initial 30 seconds of this play when you boot up the launcher. It's like Obsidian wanted to let you know you are about to step into the Mojave desert now turned deadly wasteland.

I couldn't find a game I wanted, and reluctantly picked up Fallout 3, because it looked like it would scare the shit out of me. I'm so glad I picked that game up, because it's probably my favorite series now.

This song really gets to me. Especially after I beat the game I dont regret any of my choices and Im happy with the fate Ive chosen for the Mojave Wasteland.
Ricochet Rabbit Independence, kicked the NCR and the Legion out. Killed Mr.House, took control of his robot army with Yes Man. Killed that fool Benny soon as I got him cornered in his hotel room. Helped the small towns out so they could also stay independent (Goodsprings, Novac, Primm, Freeside, helped out North Vegas Square and West side even though it was minor). Helped the Boomers and got them that bomber from the lake so they could help in the final battle and stay independent. The Khans ending was always different with each playthrough. Killed off all the Fiend leaders. Destroyed the Brotherhood of Steels bunker. So I pretty much fought for the people of New Vegas kicking out all the 3 main powers that wanted New Vegas.

This was 2015, so that was a pretty top-tier computer back then. Only thing that would have made it better would have been a GTX Titan. But even with such a badass computer, Fallout 4 gave me trouble in certain areas. This was also only in 1080p... not 1440p or nothing. Now I have an i9-13900k, RTX 4090 and 64GB of RAM.

Haunting and eerie. The closing chapter of a great tale of resurrection, revenge, and triumph. Where all shades of humanity are illustrated in hopeful beauty, and tragic loss. I loved this game, so many hours poured into it. Just so I could squeeze every last drop out of it. I remember how I felt first confronting the ghost people of the sierra madre nearly naked and unarmed. Conflicted with a somber pity for their fate, but my fear fueled my drive for survival. I told myself they were better off dead, but I wonder if there was ever any way to save them.
I think they really nailed it with the song placement. You hear the ending of the song after leaving doc mitchells house and in lonesome road before fighting/speaking with ulysses you hear the part again. Then after finishing the game you hear the whole soundtrack

@Reubenofthedead I'm not named after whom you might be thinking. My name's actually a reference to gaming in general.1978 was the year Space invaders came out,marking the beginning of "the golden era of arcade games." And "Arcade" means exactly what it says:Arcade games.Although,i do admit my name is pretty appropriate given my original comment.
***** I liked the story for New Vegas better, but Fallout 3 had better atmosphere in all, if you combine the story/new guns/amazing quests New Vegas had into Fallout 3, youd have an 11/10 game for sure, but Obsidian took a different approach that didnt feel so similar with New Vegas, I mean like 200 unique guns x.x , wtf??
Steven Walton Are you seriously complaining that there are too many unique weapons? Dude, what is wrong with you? New Vegas' unique weapons were fucking awesome. Fallout 3 had a decent atmosphere but still not better than NV's.
***** Sounds like I was xp , but no, I love both games, Fallout 3 will always be better to me, seeing as how Point Lookout was my fave dlc ever, still to ths day, out of anything, they just improved 3 with a crap ton of stuff, thats why I have every dlc for my 360 for New Vegas and 3 ( except the Pitt ) , I got all the New Vegas dlc the moment it was live on 360, dont regret paying $10 each either.
***** I mean most of the weapons weren't terribly interesting in design.... They were just regular old guns, and you have to admit that the mojave is nowhere near as interesting as the Capitol Wasteland.
I feel like the Courier would kick the Vault-Dweller and the Lone Survivor's ass. They're all badasses but the Courier has a certain sense of legend to him
Ok, so i'm not gonna be the guy who says fallout 4 compared to this is shit. Fallout 4 was definitely a step-up from fallout 3 but it's like Obsidian "did" something to NW to make it so much more memorable and enjoyable
+Hi-C Masterrace I think the atmosphere is what captured me the most lol. I just love the harsh desert and overall mood of the game. It doesn't feel as dark and cramped as 3 & 4. just my opinion though :)
+MrEvilGamer77 I really dont agree, I felt it was wonky and copy paste like, I enjoyed it, but yeah, I couldnt get into it, played all the dlcs within 10 minutes launch, but at some point, you cant go back to New Vegas and keep playing the same thing and be happy, ive played it, it was good, now ive moved on to 4, which is my 2nd fave of all time, I just dont see me going back and playing it again, no point, Fallout 4 is great, much better in terms of progression, sure its more of a shooter, but an avid Cod/Halo player, since I like both, doesnt bother me, its still an rpg whether people want it to be or not, just not a perfect original Fallout rpg, but thats okay, I accept it, its weird seeing as I uploaded a New Vegas OST, but the others are my fave, to each their own, but in terms of ranks, Fallout 3 was a 10/10 for me, fallout 4 a 9/10, and New Vegas a 6 or 7/10, 3 and 4 I can probably play again, but I dont see myself going back and playing New Vegas anytime soon.
i think new vegas was the best fallout game don't get me wrong 3 and 4 are really good but i just got to love the everything about new vegas plus the veteran ranger looks badass as fuck
***** I dont have any drive to ever play New Vegas again to be honest, unless im super bored. But, its not a bad game, ill accept that the dlc is amazing, but ONLY makes the game better. Base Fallout 4 vs New Vegas is no comparison, but people love to leave out the fact that it was a buggy mess at launch. Ive had no problems with 4, while 3 and New Vegas always seemed to freeze at points. Its up to your own opinion, but I cant say with a straight face New Vegas was my fave, it felt like a copy paste, and im sticking to that claim, I dont need to justify my opinions when the evidence is everywhere.
I wasn't really "with" any factions....but I sided with the NCR as a "freelance cop" so to speak, moonlighted as a bounty hunter, and at the side, I was just trying to keep my friends from dyin'.
Chamberlain Hillz If anything, my loyalty is to Goodsprings. They're like the only nice town fulla good people in the Mohave. Plus the doc did save my life after all.
Its as if the song tells you with that no matter what choices are made you impact nothing and change little. In the end its telling you that war never changes.
colebowlin68 Who said that all the Enclave in the world died? There can be Enclave posts in different places. Lets say Oil rig is destroyed, so what? Thats Oil rig and not Raven Rock. I hope you get it. If a city is wiped out in a country, then that doesnt mean everyone in the country will die xD
You underestimate the Enclave. They are the ones with the best technology and they have enough man too. Only thing Enclave looses is, becaouse that they are enemy in the fallout, but as we could ally with the legion, I dont thinkl Enclave would be a bad choice after all. In Fallout 3 the Enclave's motives are good, the problem is that how they'll do the things. Enclave are the most badass and they are trained and they do what they need. And actually Oil Rig is just one fckin location. There could be so much BIG bases with good leaders for the Enclave which arent said in the fallout universe. Its not like, If I dont say to you, that a city exists, then it doesnt exit.
Hearing this always gives me sadness and it done so for two reasons. 1. The long journey in the Mojave from Goodsprings to the Divide and finally Hoover Dam is complete and your level 50 courier has reached the end of their long road. 2. The knowledge that we will never see a Fallout game as good as New Vegas ever again. The series basically died here so the song fits. Fallout 4 inflicted a wound that the series could have recovered from but Fallout 76 put a bullet in its head that unlike the Courier, won't be getting back up from.
Is it right to have chills run down your spine when the violin plays? That's how amazing obsidian are when they made the music there music actually effects me!
I always imagined the Courier walking across Hoover dam while a huge close quarters battle was happening on the Dam between the NCR and Legion in slow motion to this song
+Damon Llopiz More so referring to the ambience New Vegas' soundtrack possessed that FO3 lacked. Fallout 3's soundtrack tried to sound load and epic. New Vegas made out an ultimately dark and grim tone that reflected the entire conflict of the Mojave itself. It's a genius that New Vegas had in its soundtrack that made it the impact it was. It seems Bethesda has has decided they wanted a similar tone to Fallout 4 with that games approach to its score.
@@iranianvoodoodoctor6778 I'm so very glad you did. Apologies for not giving you more info, I don't have the game installed at the moment. It does give it a nice dangerous feeling doesn't it.
I believe I achieved 💯 game completion for Yes Man and hearing this song I shed a tear because my love for this game is huge and discovering the world was the best experience I had in a while
Plays fallout 3: Damn, that was a good game Plays new vegas: "Dam" (pun intended) that was way better. Cannot wait to play fallout 4. Plays fallout 4: Why is everything so bright yet boring at the same time. (Decent game, but a definite downgrade from nv) Attempts to play fallout 76: "Application has closed for an unknown reason"
2:11 I was looking for this. It plays when you enter the Temple of Ulysses and the divide rocket rises, ready to launch - eye bots flying about while Ulysses has his back turned to you, old world flag on his tattered jacket.
In Fallout, there is no "good" factions. NCR citizens are free, but at cost of high taxes, Legion would unite and save humanity, but will kill and enslave everything that gets in thier way, BoS would wipe out whole world just for one piece of tehnology, and Enclave has goal of wiping out all humans that don't live in vaults or are member of Enclave, but would cleanse world of radiation and mutated animals. Fallout is game where you find remains of an old world and where you are being a part of new one. Its supposed to be place where on one side you can see dead bodies, wrecked cars and destroyed buildings and on other you can see growing communities. And one more thing: War...war.....never changes...
The Fallout world can be easily seen as a doomed one. With factions having lost almost all information of their species' past mistakes, by the end of it, we'll still be rock-juggling, spear-throwing savages in this New World. We will never change, just like War. Humanity in Fallout is doomed, despite any faction you go with, despite any route you go through to help fix it. Those purified waters will pump out purified water, but what happens if it stops pumping after the scientists and BoS have gone away? What will happen with an independant New Vegas, having so many strategic resources and locations around it and in it that any future faction would try to wage war over and over... Humanity is doomed in fallout. For War.... War never changes.
Not at all, Lyon's Brotherhood of Steel was better than BoS in Fallout New Vegas, they actually prefer saving EVERYONE in the Capital Wasteland without any exchange for something like that rather than "saving" them for an exchange of technology. And Enclave is the remains of the US Army. War.
NCR citizens are free, at the cost of high taxes which is then circulated back into society making it better. The NCR is undeniably the 'good' faction.
@@Baba-yv6ml If you lived under Caesar's land in Arizona, it would generally be more peaceful. No taxes, the raiders and dangerous wildlife ran off or were completely exterminated so that made trading easier for Caravans and the Legion allowed you to do whatever you want as long you didnt get in their way.
There was so much room to work with when it came to roleplaying a character in this game. In fallout 4, as much as I love that game I didn't feel like I could be a different kind of person, my favourite character I played in new Vegas was my sniper who used to be NCR and with mods he was a half ghoul which I role played as a burn victim. The burn came from a mission that went wrong with the NCR and he carried a personal vendetta against the NCR. This song playing in the credits after he got his revenge, (and died in the process, just a teak I gave the hard ending) was so perfect
Overall, it seems the NCR would be the best for the wasteland. The followers are too small to hold control, and the other factions are either evil or only care about vegas. NCR might not b perfect, but they have a chance of uniting America.
If war doesn't change,men must change, and so must their symbols. Even if it is nothing at all. 「人は過ちを繰り返す」のなら、その人の生き方、それそのものが変わってゆかねばならない 最後のユリシーズとの共闘が最高に熱いんですよね
Nobody will ever know who the Courier _really_ was. Even if you've played the entirety of Fallout: New Vegas. Was he good? Was he evil? Was he with the NCR, or the Legion? Were he even, you know, a he? The Courier is simply a courier who followed a road to its end. And now the Courier is a legend.
Yeah, the atmosphere of fallout isn't supposed to be war-torn apocalyptic ruins with zombies and action everywhere. It's humanity rebuilding, yet building up again for the one inevitability that never changes: war
Completed Fallout 3 month ago and after it completion felt a real urge to revivsit New Vegas few years after my first walkthrough of it. I cant express the feels when i booted up the launcher and heard this theme, how it started on Fallout 3 theme's notes but then suddenly changed to it's own long and sad violin vibe. Damn, it felt so awesome and clever and beautiful. And now i completed NV again, this time giving far more attention to side quests and exploration, and this theme was a pinnacle. Damn i want to immediatly replay it again...

Escaped from the shelter nearby mojave drive in.fighting his way through the armies of bloodthristy cannibals, Casear descendants, merciless tribals, bandits and the Remaining NCR to the last vertibird at mccarren airport. He stood there in front of the vertibird. With the autopilot it will take him to safety. He stood still reflecting to all the things he had done since stepping out of the shelter. After all the killing he had commited until reaching the only ticket out of this land. He ponder if he deserve an escape to safety like this.... #fallout:dust

I played this game on pc the first times and got PS3 recently. Fucking awesome...
By far the best thing about the PS3 version.
Made me sad when it played
All gamers rise for the anthem of old.
I think they really nailed it with the song placement. You hear the ending of the song after leaving doc mitchells house and in lonesome road before fighting/speaking with ulysses you hear the part again. Then after finishing the game you hear the whole soundtrack
This soundtrack marks the end of a long journey while reminding you what it all meant in the end.
Damn they cooking with the violin strings.

@Reubenofthedead I'm not named after whom you might be thinking. My name's actually a reference to gaming in general.1978 was the year Space invaders came out,marking the beginning of "the golden era of arcade games." And "Arcade" means exactly what it says:Arcade games.Although,i do admit my name is pretty appropriate given my original comment.
Oh shit FBI better run CIA coming
@@masterbison8957 Arcade isn't gay. He used to be (Spoiler in case you haven't played his story trough) in the Enclave.
This is the greatest game ever. Better than any Fallout game in the series and best game over all.
Pedro Miranda Gameplay wise it's better than Fallout 3 and story wise, it absolutely shits on Fallout 3. New Vegas' story is absolutely incredible.
***** I liked the story for New Vegas better, but Fallout 3 had better atmosphere in all, if you combine the story/new guns/amazing quests New Vegas had into Fallout 3, youd have an 11/10 game for sure, but Obsidian took a different approach that didnt feel so similar with New Vegas, I mean like 200 unique guns x.x , wtf??
Steven Walton Are you seriously complaining that there are too many unique weapons? Dude, what is wrong with you? New Vegas' unique weapons were fucking awesome. Fallout 3 had a decent atmosphere but still not better than NV's.
***** Sounds like I was xp , but no, I love both games, Fallout 3 will always be better to me, seeing as how Point Lookout was my fave dlc ever, still to ths day, out of anything, they just improved 3 with a crap ton of stuff, thats why I have every dlc for my 360 for New Vegas and 3 ( except the Pitt ) , I got all the New Vegas dlc the moment it was live on 360, dont regret paying $10 each either.
***** I mean most of the weapons weren't terribly interesting in design.... They were just regular old guns, and you have to admit that the mojave is nowhere near as interesting as the Capitol Wasteland.
I feel like the Courier would kick the Vault-Dweller and the Lone Survivor's ass.
They're all badasses but the Courier has a certain sense of legend to him
Cameron Cutler what about the Chosen One?
@@mastercobragaming8780 Chosen one is an exception, Because of how a badass a chieftain defeating the old government of america.
@@rekashum7293 The Lone Wanderer has a spaceship
Courier would kill them 2, Chosen one would Massacre all of them
@@AtomescheBaron75 he is a god aye
Ok, so i'm not gonna be the guy who says fallout 4 compared to this is shit. Fallout 4 was definitely a step-up from fallout 3 but it's like Obsidian "did" something to NW to make it so much more memorable and enjoyable
Fallout 4 had great potential to be amazing but didn't really take those extra steps it felt like NV did
+Hi-C Masterrace
I think the atmosphere is what captured me the most lol. I just love the harsh desert and overall mood of the game. It doesn't feel as dark and cramped as 3 & 4. just my opinion though :)
+MrEvilGamer77 I really dont agree, I felt it was wonky and copy paste like, I enjoyed it, but yeah, I couldnt get into it, played all the dlcs within 10 minutes launch, but at some point, you cant go back to New Vegas and keep playing the same thing and be happy, ive played it, it was good, now ive moved on to 4, which is my 2nd fave of all time, I just dont see me going back and playing it again, no point, Fallout 4 is great, much better in terms of progression, sure its more of a shooter, but an avid Cod/Halo player, since I like both, doesnt bother me, its still an rpg whether people want it to be or not, just not a perfect original Fallout rpg, but thats okay, I accept it, its weird seeing as I uploaded a New Vegas OST, but the others are my fave, to each their own, but in terms of ranks, Fallout 3 was a 10/10 for me, fallout 4 a 9/10, and New Vegas a 6 or 7/10, 3 and 4 I can probably play again, but I dont see myself going back and playing New Vegas anytime soon.
i think new vegas was the best fallout game don't get me wrong 3 and 4 are really good but i just got to love the everything about new vegas plus the veteran ranger looks badass as fuck
***** I dont have any drive to ever play New Vegas again to be honest, unless im super bored. But, its not a bad game, ill accept that the dlc is amazing, but ONLY makes the game better. Base Fallout 4 vs New Vegas is no comparison, but people love to leave out the fact that it was a buggy mess at launch. Ive had no problems with 4, while 3 and New Vegas always seemed to freeze at points. Its up to your own opinion, but I cant say with a straight face New Vegas was my fave, it felt like a copy paste, and im sticking to that claim, I dont need to justify my opinions when the evidence is everywhere.
I wasn't really "with" any factions....but I sided with the NCR as a "freelance cop" so to speak, moonlighted as a bounty hunter, and at the side, I was just trying to keep my friends from dyin'.
*****
Zach Schimmel I think that's the way to go.
Chamberlain Hillz
If anything, my loyalty is to Goodsprings. They're like the only nice town fulla good people in the Mohave. Plus the doc did save my life after all.
Zach Schimmel Primm and Novac were pretty nice, too. Westside is also rather kind and peaceful.
Same here
Its as if the song tells you with that no matter what choices are made you impact nothing and change little.
In the end its telling you that war never changes.
Probably my favorite piece of Fallout music. Those STRINGS man. Such a strong sense of melancholy
I felt chills run down my spine listening to this nostalgic piece.
Good times, man... No, great times...
Cause war...war never changes
Men do. Through the roads they walk. And this road has reached its end.
OK for every one who is saying go Enclave the Enclave isn't even a thing anymore theres still Enclave remnants but that's about it
colebowlin68 Who said that all the Enclave in the world died? There can be Enclave posts in different places. Lets say Oil rig is destroyed, so what? Thats Oil rig and not Raven Rock. I hope you get it. If a city is wiped out in a country, then that doesnt mean everyone in the country will die xD
You underestimate the Enclave. They are the ones with the best technology and they have enough man too. Only thing Enclave looses is, becaouse that they are enemy in the fallout, but as we could ally with the legion, I dont thinkl Enclave would be a bad choice after all. In Fallout 3 the Enclave's motives are good, the problem is that how they'll do the things. Enclave are the most badass and they are trained and they do what they need. And actually Oil Rig is just one fckin location. There could be so much BIG bases with good leaders for the Enclave which arent said in the fallout universe. Its not like, If I dont say to you, that a city exists, then it doesnt exit.
Legion vs NCR > any faction in fallout 4
I kind of liked the railroad and brotherhood but Preston Garvey is so fucking horribly written
LEGION vs nCr > imperialists vs storm slayer
That’s not true! Also, another settlement needs your help. Here, I’ll mark it on your map.
@@michaelh404 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
@Chancla Entertainment
Something wrong general? Don’t you like helping settlements? You are the general, whether you like it or not.
Hearing this always gives me sadness and it done so for two reasons.
1. The long journey in the Mojave from Goodsprings to the Divide and finally Hoover Dam is complete and your level 50 courier has reached the end of their long road.
2. The knowledge that we will never see a Fallout game as good as New Vegas ever again. The series basically died here so the song fits. Fallout 4 inflicted a wound that the series could have recovered from but Fallout 76 put a bullet in its head that unlike the Courier, won't be getting back up from.
Is it right to have chills run down your spine when the violin plays? That's how amazing obsidian are when they made the music there music actually effects me!
It sounds so...sinister
same here memories
Bro it wasn’t obsidian it was Inon Zur who made the music for 3, 4, NV and 76
it gets the atmosphere of the vast desert perfectly with the wind backing the violin and piano
Each time this theme plays... tears build up. Sad to see the franchise go from this great amazing game, too Fallout 76
just like all of my favorite franchises
The ultimate in bitter-sweet ending music, as heard on the ultimate choice in bitter-sweet game endings.
I love 1:00 and how it just pops out of nowhere...
When you first step out of Doc Mitchell's house... 2:10
I always imagined the Courier walking across Hoover dam while a huge close quarters battle was happening on the Dam between the NCR and Legion in slow motion to this song
This is beautiful. I cant believe I never head it. I always thought it was short cause I only heard it in the launcher
Im here to mourn New Vegas after the finale of the fallout tv series
It's just cgi animation of end credits, not confirmed yet if it's canon to the story
Stop crying. It's not recommended.
@@andrewwilliom2442Have you been living under a rock? The show is canon to the games. And New Vegas is still canon.
Literally me too
@@metalphantom4425 Why? New Vegas is still canon.
Walking through the wastelands, listening to this song.....
an unfilled dream...
Don't forget the ending with Yes Man
Bethesda has taken this theme and reused it in Fallout 4. The perfect theme for the Fallout series if I must say so myself.
Van Bur3n Yeah, they remake it in each game
+Damon Llopiz More so referring to the ambience New Vegas' soundtrack possessed that FO3 lacked. Fallout 3's soundtrack tried to sound load and epic. New Vegas made out an ultimately dark and grim tone that reflected the entire conflict of the Mojave itself. It's a genius that New Vegas had in its soundtrack that made it the impact it was.
It seems Bethesda has has decided they wanted a similar tone to Fallout 4 with that games approach to its score.
Van Bur3n all great soundtracks in their own rights nonetheless.
Hell, they're all amazing games in they're own rights, nonetheless.
What's the ost name?
Van Bur3n the ost name ?
Damn that is one haunting tune. The violin just murders you.
How to describe the end of Fallout:New Vegas without putting any spoilers...

Honestly one of the most emotional themes I've heard in my life.

Best. Fucking. Ending song ever for any kind of fiction. What a masterpiece.
God I love the violin part of this song.
TY I DID IT
OMFG This is the best song ever and fallout is the best game ever!
+lukinha BRZ finally a comment that appreciates all the games and isnt fighting over which game is better.
Fantastic music...I can't even describe how much I love it!
Wicked usage of piano and violin, highly applicable to this game
I hope Obsidian makes another Fallout as Fallout 4 was quite disappointing.
I switched this and the main theme, so this is my title music and its great. So much more dangerous and menacing and just a great theme overall.
how
teach me
@@iranianvoodoodoctor6778 In the data folder, theres a few files. I simply renamed the credit music with the opening theme name
Nick Heerschap Nevermind! Got it fixed :> sounds wonderful
@@iranianvoodoodoctor6778 I'm so very glad you did. Apologies for not giving you more info, I don't have the game installed at the moment. It does give it a nice dangerous feeling doesn't it.
Sadness.
Happy 10th birthday NV. Thank you for everything.
This theme goes so well with New California menu theme.
I believe I achieved 💯 game completion for Yes Man and hearing this song I shed a tear because my love for this game is huge and discovering the world was the best experience I had in a while
What is the actual name of this track? The New Vegas OST is on iTunes, but for some unfathomable reason, this masterpiece isn't on it.
2:11 also plays when you first leave Doc Mitchell's house at the beginning of the game.
Plays fallout 3:
Damn, that was a good game
Plays new vegas:
"Dam" (pun intended) that was way better. Cannot wait to play fallout 4.
Plays fallout 4:
Why is everything so bright yet boring at the same time. (Decent game, but a definite downgrade from nv)
Attempts to play fallout 76:
"Application has closed for an unknown reason"
"bright yet boring at the same time" perfect way to describe FO4
Its been 10 years since this game came out and this ending still gives me the feels everytime.
I think this theme is better than fo4's
cuz it is
popsiclefresh it is
@@Linzo so true
Tbh fallout 4 is meh fallout nv is my top 5 games ever
It is
I came for a Feelstrip and I honestly even thought I expected it it still feels unexpected.
war, war never changes
How's hell?
I always come back to this desert
Does anyone notice it sounds a lot like Heisenberg's theme from Breaking Bad? Of course this came out long before the theme was used.
Such a bittersweet song.
This is so awesome that i wished there was a "love" button!
Thanks
I like how its the fallout 3 theme with a western spin
Fallout new Vegas I only wish fallout 4 under stood that your graphics and game play may have been an older format but you was much funner to play
2:11 I was looking for this. It plays when you enter the Temple of Ulysses and the divide rocket rises, ready to launch - eye bots flying about while Ulysses has his back turned to you, old world flag on his tattered jacket.
In Fallout, there is no "good" factions. NCR citizens are free, but at cost of high taxes, Legion would unite and save humanity, but will kill and enslave everything that gets in thier way, BoS would wipe out whole world just for one piece of tehnology, and Enclave has goal of wiping out all humans that don't live in vaults or are member of Enclave, but would cleanse world of radiation and mutated animals. Fallout is game where you find remains of an old world and where you are being a part of new one. Its supposed to be place where on one side you can see dead bodies, wrecked cars and destroyed buildings and on other you can see growing communities. And one more thing: War...war.....never changes...
The Fallout world can be easily seen as a doomed one. With factions having lost almost all information of their species' past mistakes, by the end of it, we'll still be rock-juggling, spear-throwing savages in this New World. We will never change, just like War.
Humanity in Fallout is doomed, despite any faction you go with, despite any route you go through to help fix it. Those purified waters will pump out purified water, but what happens if it stops pumping after the scientists and BoS have gone away? What will happen with an independant New Vegas, having so many strategic resources and locations around it and in it that any future faction would try to wage war over and over...
Humanity is doomed in fallout. For War.... War never changes.
Not at all, Lyon's Brotherhood of Steel was better than BoS in Fallout New Vegas, they actually prefer saving EVERYONE in the Capital Wasteland without any exchange for something like that rather than "saving" them for an exchange of technology. And Enclave is the remains of the US Army. War.
+Kirigaya Kazuto
Boooooooooriiing!!!
NCR citizens are free, at the cost of high taxes which is then circulated back into society making it better. The NCR is undeniably the 'good' faction.
@@Baba-yv6ml If you lived under Caesar's land in Arizona, it would generally be more peaceful. No taxes, the raiders and dangerous wildlife ran off or were completely exterminated so that made trading easier for Caravans and the Legion allowed you to do whatever you want as long you didnt get in their way.
I really really miss playing Fallout New Vegas it brings me back memories
"America how did it come to this..." -John Henry Eden

War ...war never stops..
Its been such a long time since this game but i cant manage to forget it. Such a masterpiece,there wont be anything ever like this
Best fallout
If we cannot prevent what comes, then let us make our stand here. Two Couriers, together, at the Divide.
NCR and proud.
DIE NCR
NCR forever. Patrolling the mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter...
No gods, no masters.
Yes Man for the win.
The House always wins.
Jk NCR and proud
There was so much room to work with when it came to roleplaying a character in this game. In fallout 4, as much as I love that game I didn't feel like I could be a different kind of person, my favourite character I played in new Vegas was my sniper who used to be NCR and with mods he was a half ghoul which I role played as a burn victim. The burn came from a mission that went wrong with the NCR and he carried a personal vendetta against the NCR. This song playing in the credits after he got his revenge, (and died in the process, just a teak I gave the hard ending) was so perfect
Overall, it seems the NCR would be the best for the wasteland. The followers are too small to hold control, and the other factions are either evil or only care about vegas. NCR might not b perfect, but they have a chance of uniting America.
If war doesn't change,men must change, and so must their symbols. Even if it is nothing at all.

New vegas is the greatest fallout game out there.
Nobody will ever know who the Courier _really_ was. Even if you've played the entirety of Fallout: New Vegas. Was he good? Was he evil? Was he with the NCR, or the Legion? Were he even, you know, a he? The Courier is simply a courier who followed a road to its end. And now the Courier is a legend.
Bethesda have never been able to capture the atmosphere of Fallout, and it's a shame they didn't learn anything from Fallout New Vegas.
Yeah, the atmosphere of fallout isn't supposed to be war-torn apocalyptic ruins with zombies and action everywhere. It's humanity rebuilding, yet building up again for the one inevitability that never changes: war
It sucked how Bethesda dumbed down fallout 4 to attract more people
The only thing they learned was putting ironsights on the guns.
Fallout 3 has the best atmosphere of any of the 3D Fallouts.
@@citatap and weapon modifications.
Completed Fallout 3 month ago and after it completion felt a real urge to revivsit New Vegas few years after my first walkthrough of it.
I cant express the feels when i booted up the launcher and heard this theme, how it started on Fallout 3 theme's notes but then suddenly changed to it's own long and sad violin vibe. Damn, it felt so awesome and clever and beautiful.
And now i completed NV again, this time giving far more attention to side quests and exploration, and this theme was a pinnacle. Damn i want to immediatly replay it again...
Listening to this & waiting for fallout 4, nothing else.

I don't know why but some parts of the theme remind me of Outlast 1 soundtracks
Love the use of the distinct Fallout theme at the start ❤️
I want to learn this music on the piano but I can't find scores or tutorials, can anyone help me?
I know its not too helpful but it's relatively easy to transcribe by ear if you give it a few listens. Not really that complicated since the strings are the centrepiece here
