Hilariously enough, The King is one of the better people in the game, unironically. He's reasonable, an animal lover, genuinely wants his part of Vegas to do better, plus he has infinite swag.
I love The King, I always like to imagine that my independent ending involves throwing the might of the robot army behind The King and the Followers to legitimize them and allow them to extend their brand of cooperation and community to all in the Mojave who want it. Which is kinda wild because I never expected to love The Kings this much, when I first met them I was like "haha Elvis impersonators, hope you've got funnier jokes in stock Obsidian"
Boone actually did kill his wife. He knew he couldn't kill all of the legionaries and rescue his wife, so he did what he thought was best and mercy killed her so she wouldn't have to go through the brutality of being enslaved by the legion

How to beat new Vegas before you even hit level 2: 1. Place all points in luck 2. B line for New Vegas. Don't even worry about ammo or stims. Just hug the map border and cut through death claw quarry 3. Go into silver rush and steal ALL plasma weapons while they watch 4. Go to mick and ralphs and use your luck to rob them at the poker table. Buy your way into Vegas. 5. Use those nice new weapons you stole and go give Benny some karma 6. Talk to yes man before turning him into goo with plasma rifle 7. Walk straight past Mr house while he's trying to be smug with no aknowledgement, go straight to the back like he forgot to pay his cable bill and shut him off while he begs you not too. 8. Enjoy the havoc of knocking down the house of cards at level 2 (after killing Benny you will actually be level 3 if you kill everyone )
Or you can be reasonable gentleman Have 10 charisma Tag skill on speech +skilled+good natured Find magazine of meeting people Talk with swank Than beat the shit out of Benny with your mercenary grenade launcher
Honestly I love that New Vegas is Post Post Post Apocalyptic. I like that New Society has taken over, while still keeping the shadow of the old world around. Bethesda Fallout where there is no law at all or world factions that matter or have presence in the world get boring after a while. In New Vegas you FEEL the NCR or legion hunting you down.
@@sadaway4301 shhh. Bethesda thinks that Fallout is about Supermutants, stimpaks, ghouls and vaults, they dont care about post nuclear war societies who is trying to rebuild the world.
That's why I can't get into FO3 or 4, it's been well over 200 years since the bombs & there's no nation or faction, not even an alliance between settlements, it's just lazy writing.
@@sadaway4301In the case of New Vegas the issue is that they made the game in 18 months so they reused a ton of Fallout 3 assets. Fallout 1 and 2 has people living in proper houses for the most part.
Nothing. That's the point. The rich can always afford a bed in a bunker or a seat on a shuttle. Nuking the world is not a solution for the 1% problem. In fact, it's all a part of their plan
In defense of the game's opening, surviving multiple shots to the head in the Fallout universe is like surviving a paper cut. It's more common than having knees.
Because of the bullet in the brain I argue that the 1 intelligence run is the only cannon one. Also it’s the best with some of the funniest dialogue like “We sell implants that can make you faster, smarter, or stronger.” “Do you also sell plants?” Or talking to the murmuring vagrant in freeside that goes from Joe Biden to Shakespeare

I've just watched the TV show, which made me want to get NV (with a conveniently timed sale) and now my youtube feed is filled with Fallout content. Bravo Todd.
Todd had nothing to do with New Vegas. New Vegas was done by the original creators of Fallout at Obsidian, and is based on Fallout 3 Van Buren, the original Fallout 3 project at Black Isle, in 2001.
6 months later and fall out is nearly as irrelevant as ever. Which no offense to fall out I’m criticizing the trajectory of the show (which I did not watch maybe it’s awesome). Reminds me a bit of squid game or pal world, there was a brief two month period where it was the most relevant piece of media on the planet and then it slips back into obscurity like any other fad.

"Be honest. How often do you think about the Roman Empire?" "I'm pretty sure everyone in it had lead poisoning." That would explain all the indiscriminate violence.
Last i checked the theory wasn't that it was because of lead pipes, it was because they considered wine warmed in lead-glazed pottery a delicacy for it's sweetness. The sweetness came from the lead glaze dissolving into the wine when heated.
Loved the humor. Top tier. But completely disagree on the ending take away. You can go anywhere in both 3 and NV. The stronger enemies deter you but if you're creative you can get through easy enough- same as if you went into Old Olney at the start of 3 it'd be tough. 3's story is way more linear too.
Yeah I thought that was such a bizarre thing to say. New Vegas even does a great job of handling going to things in weird orders for the most part. Like this latest playthrough I refused to go to Vegas until I had gone everywhere else for a change, and then I never talked to Mr. House until after I had already gone to the Legion Camp and killed Ceasar and used the chip, and it handled all that very well. There was also a ton of extra things directing you to Vegas I never knew about--like all sorts of NPCs giving you hints about Benny's location. Normally I bee-line straight there lol
@@Zeldarulah exactly. In 18 months Obsidian developed a pretty rock solid narrative accounting for all the different ways you can complete quests and interact with factions. There's really next to none of those mechanisms in 3 other than sometimes characters saying "oh you already did that." Also super impressive they made it so no character besides Yes Man is essential. A+ creativity.
@@Zeldarulah I'm sure there's a few more than Yes Man but it'd say 98% of NPCs you interact with are killable. But yeah, in circumstances like that they do eventually die so I guess they half count lol
That's also my experience. New Vegas allow you to go anywhere and do anything but due to connection between locations and quests, it always make it feel like cohesive and planned story. Plus you can decide fate of almost everyone named character in the game. Fallout 3 feels insanely linear in comparison. You can go anywhere-do anything but that experience doesn't offer anything better than New Vegas and feels like disconnected events due to lack of mentioned connections and worse writing all across the board.
This was an awesome review. I am about 10% through the game. I killed all the Powder Gangers I could find, earned a crap ton of caps breaking Frank Winters' family out of Cottonwood Cove and slaughtered the Fiends in Vault 3. Basically just saving my caps to buy all the best weapons and armor and having the time of my life doing it. Oh and screw the Legion for hiding mines under bodies.

@@mp5-mo The ATF was never designed as a crisis policing unit. But they wanted to expand in the 90s under Bush 1 and Clinton. So they made their own pseudo-SWAT force. *Without* taking on experienced personnel from other agencies.

The ATF is the most evil police force in America. It's a death squad. Platoon.
Going back & watching your old videos then coming back to this one; you’ve improved so much at your script writing & voiceover delivery. In case you were wondering why your videos are doing well now. Edit: Editing too obviously.
This video contained such a quick succession of hilarious jokes that I had to stop myself from laughing too hard so I didn’t miss the next one. Thanks for the shout out to Matthew Perry at the end, I was thinking of him this entire time. A mummy named Josh took me out. 👏
Boone himself says that he tracked her down after she was captured, but was outnumbered and wouldn't be able to get her out, so he shot her in the head to spare her from a slave's life. Adding insult to injury, she was pregnant at the time, with the legion paying 1000 caps for her plus 500 for the baby (bill of sale found during his recruitment quest). If anyone's curious, search for "Carla Boone" on the fallout wiki page.
@SparksProx I mean.. I played Fallout 3 and 4 once, and I have replayed New Vegas countless times. Why does this game have so much more lasting appeal than the other two? I even did try to replay Fallout 3 many years ago as a teenager after playing New Vegas and was like "This is a lot worse than I remembered it."
@SparksProx 100% agreed. Only thing that compares is the obsessive praise for Morrowind. Another decent game that is nowhere near as good as people make it out to be.
@@peteschaub7561 tough shit that it's beloved. Can't really change that without some sort of overwhelming fuckery that won't ever happen. Tough shit that Morrowind is also beloved, although I can't figure out why with that one. These games do point out how shit Bethesda has become, especially with Emil writing.
I hope you enjoy making content like this and it’s sustainable/monetizable because this is hilarious. I love this format. A condensed playthrough of a widely beloved game but full of jokes, memes, and references. It’s great.
I thought from the thumbnail this would be the annoying kind of dumb I finally gave in to the algorithm's demands and watched it, and was pleasantly surprised to find it is the kind of dumb I find extremely amusing 11/10 I have now subscribed
In dead money, when meeting Dean if you use any of the skill checks he doesn't trust you and you cant save him, if you just go thought his meeting without using the skill checks you can "save" him in the end meeting because he trusts you
You can use certain skill checks on him without fear of him turning on you, as long as they aren't ones that can be used to convince Dean to do things he doesn't want to do.
My advice is to try to make a video in your desired style 1 minute long. Then when you want to scale up, you have a workflow and you know how it'll come out.
5:15 the fact all of those reviews are real and that someone is actually still named Vulpes Inculta with 14 whole reviews is the more hilarious thing I've seen in a while
When I heard that _Benny_ *(voiced by Matthew Perry aka Chandler Bing from Friends)* was in this game, I remembered that I keep killing him for over 10 years now and I kinda stopped doing it since he’s no longer with us in real life now. *RIP* 😔
15:30 “Yes sir Mr. Mailman, glory to the Mojave Express” 16:11 “Yes sir Mr. Mailman, glory to DSM5” 21:31 “Yes sir Courier 6, glory to whichever country I hated 10 seconds ago” 22:21 “Yes sir Mr. Mailman, glory to Afganistán” I think I’m gonna call my next FNV character Mr. Mailman
“What even was the point of nuclear Armageddon if the 1% was going to buy their way out of it” This line is even more true now that the tv show is out lmao
I didn't know the big mountain stuff was dlc till this video, its literally the first place i went, i didnt even get the root i was supposed to at the starting town, now i am still trapped there cause i haven't found mobius yet
16:17 For all those who's interested in keeping Dean alive. You just have to NOT Chose any skill check from the first time you met him until the part where you left him to open the Casino (I think)
I remember the first time playing the game I manage to spare him. But my later playthroughs he keeps on wanting to kill me in the theater and I could never figure out why lol
You’re exactly right. It’s a really clever thing that games should do more often, because we so often blindly hit skill checks because we assume it will lead to a better outcome, but think about it, if you use a Science check to show off how smart you are to some Freeside thug, of course he’s gonna call you a stupid nerd and try and kill you! It’s a role playing game!
I know it was basically built off of Fallout 3, but the fact that this game was developed in 18 months is wild. It's definitely believable, because without anti-crash mods it's about as stable as Bethesda's writing, but still wild.
Best part about this game is the dev team went on to lead crazy titles. The lead dialogue writer went on to head Horizon Zero Dawn. Like NV had some freaking talent stacked on it.
Funniest shit about my playthrough was I fucked up and didn't save my favor from the King, so he wouldn't stop the violence against the NCR in freeside. So after getting Hsu to promise him resources, Pacer decides to try and kill everyone in a room completely filled with NCR soldiers, leading to him and several members of the Kings dying. After that I go back to Ambassador Crocker and he says that he's glad that the situation was able to be resolved "without violence". Genuinely laughed at that.
Wow. The way you explained how the open world is presented differently in NV vs F3 is super accurate. I personally prefer the way NV was laid out because it’s the antithesis of Bethesda’s awful level scaling, which I suggest is a result of the more open presentation of a Bethesda open world vs the Obsidian one. I trash on the way BGS does it because they gutted skills in favour of a perk driven system with no level cap. I prefer the tighter designed experience Obsidian delivered, the old BGS titles did too. I can’t deny the merits associated with BGS open world design though, I’ve sunk many hours into their games.
14:10 honestly, I saved Kimball on my first attempt. I climbed the sniper tower to get a good view of the area only to accidentally across the Legion sniper, kill him in one shot, and use the radio to tell Grant things were going down. Honestly, when the vertibird took off, I *expected* it to blow up
"You are describing Afganistan": They have the army, hoover dam, elios one, vault 22 which can produce food for the entire state... If they find a way to purify water in the dam, they are basically the strongest power in the west.

Todd had nothing to do with New Vegas. New Vegas was done by the original creators of Fallout at Obsidian, and is based on Fallout 3 Van Buren, the original Fallout 3 project at Black Isle, in 2001.
6 months later and fall out is nearly as irrelevant as ever. Which no offense to fall out I’m criticizing the trajectory of the show (which I did not watch maybe it’s awesome). Reminds me a bit of squid game or pal world, there was a brief two month period where it was the most relevant piece of media on the planet and then it slips back into obscurity like any other fad.
"Benny no longer collecting his Friends residuals" god damn
"A bundle of PTSD" is the best description for Boone ever

I love that line, especially since Caesar is IN THE GAME.
"I guess no-one told you life was gonna be this way." *BANG BANG BANG BANG*
The spirit of Mitten Squad was with you when you wrote that one.
"Be honest. How often do you think about the Roman Empire?"
"I'm pretty sure everyone in it had lead poisoning."
That would explain all the indiscriminate violence.
The funniest part about it is that it’s true, Roman pipes in many of their cities were made of lead, so they definitely had lead poisoning galore 😂
They had primitive plumbing using lead pipes, so most of them had lead poisoning!
@@heksevillehero Yeah and most of us are full of microplastics. Time will tell which one is really worse!
@@giantWariomicroplastics are just permanent little blood clots 😊
Last i checked the theory wasn't that it was because of lead pipes, it was because they considered wine warmed in lead-glazed pottery a delicacy for it's sweetness. The sweetness came from the lead glaze dissolving into the wine when heated.
Loved the humor. Top tier. But completely disagree on the ending take away. You can go anywhere in both 3 and NV. The stronger enemies deter you but if you're creative you can get through easy enough- same as if you went into Old Olney at the start of 3 it'd be tough. 3's story is way more linear too.
Yeah I thought that was such a bizarre thing to say. New Vegas even does a great job of handling going to things in weird orders for the most part. Like this latest playthrough I refused to go to Vegas until I had gone everywhere else for a change, and then I never talked to Mr. House until after I had already gone to the Legion Camp and killed Ceasar and used the chip, and it handled all that very well. There was also a ton of extra things directing you to Vegas I never knew about--like all sorts of NPCs giving you hints about Benny's location. Normally I bee-line straight there lol
@@Zeldarulah exactly. In 18 months Obsidian developed a pretty rock solid narrative accounting for all the different ways you can complete quests and interact with factions. There's really next to none of those mechanisms in 3 other than sometimes characters saying "oh you already did that." Also super impressive they made it so no character besides Yes Man is essential. A+ creativity.
@@sadaway4301 I did notice the Honest Hearts NPCs before starting the DLC were also unkillable 😅
@@Zeldarulah I'm sure there's a few more than Yes Man but it'd say 98% of NPCs you interact with are killable. But yeah, in circumstances like that they do eventually die so I guess they half count lol
That's also my experience. New Vegas allow you to go anywhere and do anything but due to connection between locations and quests, it always make it feel like cohesive and planned story. Plus you can decide fate of almost everyone named character in the game. Fallout 3 feels insanely linear in comparison. You can go anywhere-do anything but that experience doesn't offer anything better than New Vegas and feels like disconnected events due to lack of mentioned connections and worse writing all across the board.
This was an awesome review. I am about 10% through the game. I killed all the Powder Gangers I could find, earned a crap ton of caps breaking Frank Winters' family out of Cottonwood Cove and slaughtered the Fiends in Vault 3.
Basically just saving my caps to buy all the best weapons and armor and having the time of my life doing it.
Oh and screw the Legion for hiding mines under bodies.
"You hate the Legion for being a tyrannical slave state based on a brain-damaged narcissist's misremembering of basic philosophy; *I* hate the Legion because they make looting corpses marginally less convenient. We are not the same."

@@mp5-moThe ATF will low key just kill everything that moves, look up ruby ridge
@@bruh5744 Thanks Bruh.
@@mp5-mo The ATF was never designed as a crisis policing unit. But they wanted to expand in the 90s under Bush 1 and Clinton. So they made their own pseudo-SWAT force. *Without* taking on experienced personnel from other agencies.
And made some eyebrow-raisingly bad decisions at Ruby Ridge and Waco, to the point where they _clearly_ wanted to just slaughter everyone at Waco, and maximize death. Of Americans. Of children.
The ATF is the most evil police force in America. It's a death squad. Platoon.
I was just done doing my monthly rewatch of you ranking Peanuts Specials, and the new notification took me here. Bless this channel and it's timing.

I’m at 2:24 in the video and the editing style has me fucking hooked 😂😂😂😂😂😂
"To deliver a platinum poker chip to Dr House until Chandler Bing shot me in the head" it was just too hilarious, I'm rolling
Going back & watching your old videos then coming back to this one; you’ve improved so much at your script writing & voiceover delivery. In case you were wondering why your videos are doing well now.
Edit:
Editing too obviously.
Oh,nice seeing you here! The mods you showcase in your videos really amp up the fun in my playthroughs!
The writing and editing are incredible. I aspire to make content this good
It feels a little over the top for me
@@darthjesus420bro how this is s tier content bro? This is turn your pacemaker off so good, this is own a musket for home defense type pack
lol, the fact that the Nipton Fire Department’s reviews are full of New Vegas shizzle is so so so funny.
I didn't think a New Vegas video could make me laugh out loud again
This video contained such a quick succession of hilarious jokes that I had to stop myself from laughing too hard so I didn’t miss the next one. Thanks for the shout out to Matthew Perry at the end, I was thinking of him this entire time. A mummy named Josh took me out. 👏
What's the over-under that Boone killed his own wife so she wouldn't be captured?
he tells you so, the unique gobi sniper in the very hard chest overlooking cottonwood cove was what he used
He killed her because she was being sold into slavery
@@nickbilske8140that sniper rifle is so OP
100% since he says so
Boone himself says that he tracked her down after she was captured, but was outnumbered and wouldn't be able to get her out, so he shot her in the head to spare her from a slave's life.
Adding insult to injury, she was pregnant at the time, with the legion paying 1000 caps for her plus 500 for the baby (bill of sale found during his recruitment quest).
If anyone's curious, search for "Carla Boone" on the fallout wiki page.

I love the fact that this game is remembered more fondly than fallout 3 and 4
@SparksProx I mean.. I played Fallout 3 and 4 once, and I have replayed New Vegas countless times. Why does this game have so much more lasting appeal than the other two? I even did try to replay Fallout 3 many years ago as a teenager after playing New Vegas and was like "This is a lot worse than I remembered it."
So you didnt meet "TLoU fan base"? How about "Witcher 3 fan base"? "Pokemon fan base"? I can go on... @SparksProx
@SparksProxIts because it is evidence how incompetent Bethesda's really is
@SparksProx 100% agreed. Only thing that compares is the obsessive praise for Morrowind. Another decent game that is nowhere near as good as people make it out to be.
@@peteschaub7561 tough shit that it's beloved. Can't really change that without some sort of overwhelming fuckery that won't ever happen. Tough shit that Morrowind is also beloved, although I can't figure out why with that one. These games do point out how shit Bethesda has become, especially with Emil writing.
I hope you enjoy making content like this and it’s sustainable/monetizable because this is hilarious. I love this format. A condensed playthrough of a widely beloved game but full of jokes, memes, and references. It’s great.

In dead money, when meeting Dean if you use any of the skill checks he doesn't trust you and you cant save him, if you just go thought his meeting without using the skill checks you can "save" him in the end meeting because he trusts you
You can use certain skill checks on him without fear of him turning on you, as long as they aren't ones that can be used to convince Dean to do things he doesn't want to do.
this is exactly what I want my own content to be and now I am incredibly de-motivated.
My advice is to try to make a video in your desired style 1 minute long. Then when you want to scale up, you have a workflow and you know how it'll come out.

This is peak content, you make me laugh. Keep it up, love from Japan.
Just started the honest hearts dlc. Joshua Graham is the GOAT.
16:17 For all those who's interested in keeping Dean alive. You just have to NOT Chose any skill check from the first time you met him until the part where you left him to open the Casino (I think)
As a rule of thumb, don't threaten him or challenge his ego. Take skill checks if they don't make him look stupid. He'll really like you
Ive played dead money so manny times just to do a run of saving him, so much thanks
I remember the first time playing the game I manage to spare him. But my later playthroughs he keeps on wanting to kill me in the theater and I could never figure out why lol
Yep, always be cool with Dean if you want him to live and not become hostile.
You’re exactly right. It’s a really clever thing that games should do more often, because we so often blindly hit skill checks because we assume it will lead to a better outcome, but think about it, if you use a Science check to show off how smart you are to some Freeside thug, of course he’s gonna call you a stupid nerd and try and kill you! It’s a role playing game!
13:19 I literally dying from laughter, gonna be stealing that
I know it was basically built off of Fallout 3, but the fact that this game was developed in 18 months is wild. It's definitely believable, because without anti-crash mods it's about as stable as Bethesda's writing, but still wild.
This feels like maxor but more chill
Best part about this game is the dev team went on to lead crazy titles. The lead dialogue writer went on to head Horizon Zero Dawn. Like NV had some freaking talent stacked on it.
I was beyond stoked to see this pop up in my feed. Another banger, keep them coming!
its like if maxor went outside
Funniest shit about my playthrough was I fucked up and didn't save my favor from the King, so he wouldn't stop the violence against the NCR in freeside. So after getting Hsu to promise him resources, Pacer decides to try and kill everyone in a room completely filled with NCR soldiers, leading to him and several members of the Kings dying. After that I go back to Ambassador Crocker and he says that he's glad that the situation was able to be resolved "without violence". Genuinely laughed at that.
'yes sir mr mailman, glory to DSM V' is insanely funny

Watching NV footage with Witcher3 background music tickles my brain in a way I can't quite explain...
Wow. The way you explained how the open world is presented differently in NV vs F3 is super accurate. I personally prefer the way NV was laid out because it’s the antithesis of Bethesda’s awful level scaling, which I suggest is a result of the more open presentation of a Bethesda open world vs the Obsidian one. I trash on the way BGS does it because they gutted skills in favour of a perk driven system with no level cap. I prefer the tighter designed experience Obsidian delivered, the old BGS titles did too. I can’t deny the merits associated with BGS open world design though, I’ve sunk many hours into their games.
they seemed to have abandoned their open world design with Starfield
@@nygeriunprence I didn’t enjoy Starfield. I hope they do better, I don’t expect it.
14:10 honestly, I saved Kimball on my first attempt. I climbed the sniper tower to get a good view of the area only to accidentally across the Legion sniper, kill him in one shot, and use the radio to tell Grant things were going down. Honestly, when the vertibird took off, I *expected* it to blow up
"You are describing Afganistan":
They have the army, hoover dam, elios one, vault 22 which can produce food for the entire state... If they find a way to purify water in the dam, they are basically the strongest power in the west.
