      That's true and she could be the couriers grandma and throw them birthday parties with pinatas which you use her sword to hit it with but this is meant to be a "life is shit" feeling, i think. Not everyone can be saved and not everyone will live a happy ending becasue war, war never changes.

    . . . Lilly's story hits me right in my emotions mainly because it reminds me of my grandmother before she had passed away. Having Lilly around me in New Vegas just makes me feel like my grandmother is still here watching over me. Lilly is sometimes the only companion i take because even if it's not my grandma's voice the way she acts still reminds me of her. The reason being was because my grandmothers mind was rock solid till she was given a different prescription of pills by the VA that ended up taking her memories to make her a bit healthier and she only ever had clouded memories of who me and my family were and the medicine only ever made her memories fade but as they faded her physical health was improving. Eventually the only choice my grandmother made was the same. Half doses to try and keep some semblance of who she was and who we as her family were. . . Those pills took away her mind and soon the damage was to far along to repair and she eventually forgot about all of us before passing away in the hospital. Having Lilly with me is my way trying to keep my grandma with me. Even though i know she's not really there. Oxhorn, Thank you for making this video. . . it really means a lot to me. More then you will ever know.

    @mareczek00713 6 років тому +59

    I believe both extremes are equal to killing Lily, stopping medication kills Lily and gives birth to Leo, full medication kills Lily and makes her a docile pet - half doses keeps her alive as a person, her personality and grandma-like attitude remains as well as her memories which shaped her as a person and doesn't allow Leo to take control over her... If she became a psychotic beast she'd either get killed or kill some innocents which could traumatize her of her sanity ever returned as even Master's assassination targets could be considered military targets, civilians would likely impact her much more, while I'm afraid full medication could make her forget everything permamently - half doses are both her own decision and give me hope that someday somebody will develop a way to return her memories while still supressing Leo, the one benefit of her being a super mutant is extended life, likely without aging, allowing her to wait for a cure way longer than a human could.

    If they ever remake ‘Fallout 1’, they should include Vault 17 where we meet a human Lily and her family. But when we return to Vault 17 a second time, we find out that The Master’s army raided the Vault and the residents are either dead or missing. And then, at a later time, we see Lily as a Nightkin and can remember her if she mistakes the player for one of her grandkids.

  • @Khotgor
    @Khotgor 6 років тому +73

    I don't think most people know how strong Lily is.
    Her Chopper is not only a good melee weapon, but the Assault Rifle that she has allows her to deal decent damage against most enemies. Usually characters only specialize in either Melee or Range, and the other usually is fault in terms of efficiency. Lily has two good weapons off the bat for both ranges.
    Lily allows a decent 10% extra critical damage when sneaking, so this makes her better than Boone, who just makes people glow red. Any Sniper Character should have Lily. I always do when either having the Gauss Rifle or Thump Thump Characters.
    Lily has a great amount of health and carry weight, better than other characters. Although she can't wear any armour, her strength and ability alone makes her good. Her heightened weight makes her better for more heavy weapons.
    Upgrading your companions is always a must if you want to deal with enemies normally. On Normal, Lily can decently fight Deathclaws, 1 on 1, on her own, unlike most companions, and giving her her upgrade weapons makes her all the more better.
    The best way to upgrade Lily is to give her Oh Baby!, which is part of her quest so this is easy, and the CZ Avenger Minigun, which is guarded by Super Mutant Centaurs in the North East in a massive crater. This alone makes her the best character to hunt enemies, Cazadors and Deathclaws. Generally I prefer her to use her guns in deadly occasions, whilst using her melee in mediocre situations (like Radscorpions and any enemy lower than Caz/Death). Her high health helps a lot against Cazadors, and Deathclaws have a difficult time killing lily even in Very Hard, unlike other companions or the player which will die in, most cases, one or two swipes.
    Lily is the best companion. She is also adorable. The only issue is when you are crouching and sniping. If an enemy is coming towards you, Lily will say "Get behind me", and she will sometimes try to move in front of you. This isn't a Lily problem more so a Companion problem, as I noticed that with other companions such as E-DE too... though Lily is larger, so be careful if you are using something like a Grenade Rifle. She won't get in front of you if you are uncrouched, so after getting a sneak critical get out of it and you will be fine.

    If I played making choices I'd make in real life I would give her the half dose. She's made her choice so I wouldn't want to override it. It'd be different if she only sat in squalor reminiscing about them and only living in the past, but she doesn't. She holds a job and is apart of Jacobstown life. She is leading a productive life. It would be cruel to take something precious from her just to force her to "not live in the past." If she wants to live with the bittersweet memory of her grandkids it's her right and makes her "human" any way.

  • @Plokman040
    @Plokman040 6 років тому +265

    You know what Ox in this case two of those options are like the Master and Frank Horrigan's dogma of "They know best" but if we side with Lilly and encourage her to keep taking half doses to let her her remember her grandchildren we can truly say "We know best." Because when we are willing to allow someone to make their own choice with a far happier end we truly are doing what is best. We are not hurting anyone, we gain nothing and Lilly will remember those two sweet kids for the rest of her long life we that is the courier gains nothing but a satisfaction that even though she hasn't as much control she is as happy as she can be till she is with her family again. If she takes the medicine at full doses she loses a important part of herself she loses her past and who's to say that given time she won't forget you, Marcus and the reason she started taking the pills?
    If she stops taking them altogether she will lose more than just herself. She will lose all of her sanity, Humanity and will eventually meet a gruesome end at the hands of someone who only wants to protect themselves and those who they care about. She will ultimately be murdered and in my mind this would be all my fault as the one who told her to stop. The one who "Knew best." because I literately erased a sweet hearted grandmother who's only crime was being born in a vault who would of long ago been in a much better place had the Master not failed to see his mission was pointless before raiding her vault.
    I am a spiritual person at heart and even in games like Fallout or GTA I will always try my best to do what I know is right. I can not side with the Powder Gangers, Legion, Enclave, the Van Graffs, Gizmo, and so many others because even though it is a game and we are allowed to pick these paths knowing we can undo all of it with a old save file I just cannot bring myself to be a traitor or monster. Power is fleeting but trust, honor, friendship, family and love are eternal and without them the things that give us nightmares win and we become monsters.
    Lilly "Knows Best" as most grandmothers do and so I "know best" to let her hold on to what makes her Lilly. The memories of her family, friends and me are more precious than all the "Whiskey in Reno." to quote another character from New Vegas.

    • @vahlen5281
      @vahlen5281 6 років тому +14

      So what you are basically saying is that it is better to leave Lilly in a half-comatose state, in which she is still able to somewhat remember her previous life and especially her grand-children instead of curing her and allowing her to move on at the cost of forgetting her loved ones?
      An interesting point of view. I do not agree that this is the best choice, but I can see where you are coming from. In general, I encourage her to take the full dose because I think she deserves to live her own life instead of being trapped in this state of semi-delirium.

    • @ingasparrow
      @ingasparrow 6 років тому +17

      Vahlen I get that, but when we deal with the other companions, the big decision is how to best help them make peace with their past. They can still move forward with their memories intact.
      Our memories of the people we've met, our experiences and what we take from them shape us into the people we are now. Memory *is* identity. If Lily takes her medicine the way she should or doesn't take them at all, she won't be "Lily" anymore. We don't know who she becomes when she takes her medicine, but the Lily we know wouldn't want that.
      The other companions still keep "themselves" in some way. Even Rex and he gets his *brain* replaced. It's heartbreaking that Lily can't. So I chose the option that comes the closest to what I felt was the "right thing". I want her to remember herself.

    Because in her mind there was adult me who helped her around the house and there was also child me that still needed her for scrapped knees.
    Sometimes she’d even ask me to go looking for “Little Robert” because she was worried about him. I’d usually tell her he was somewhere visiting a friend or at sports practice or some other innocent activity but that I knew where he was and she didn’t need to worry. It was easier that way.

    The point you made towards the end of the video where you justified your ultimate decision to allow her to continue her meds at 1/2 doses was for me the sum of the whole vid where we came to know more about her. She may now be a schizophrenic Nightkin, but at one time in the past, she was a human being who loved and was loved; She had memories that in a small way kept a part of her humanity alive that she cherished more than anything else. By allowing her to continue as she had been doing, she was for all intents and purposes keeping the memories of those grandchildren alive, though they have been long- forgotten by the universe itself. Every playthrough I make the same choice as you did, using the same lines of reasoning for the same exact outcome. Choosing any other path for her robs her of the last shred of humanity she desperately clings to, humanity that was stolen from her and countless other victims of the Master's selfish "Vision", humanity I'm most certain she didn't want stolen to begin with.

    Grandma Lily can get hugs and snuggles from me any day so long as I eventually get a snack from it.

    I still love Lily. She's the only grandma that accompanied me in the horrors of the post-apocalypse and always wanted to make sure I was okay. I don't know how they thought up these ideas for New Vegas, but they did and I love them for it.. ^-^

    Knowing what I do now about the endings, I agree that half-doses are the best...
    ... That being said, in my first play through of the game, I had her take her full dosage, worried that taking any less than the doctor prescribed to be dangerous for Lily's mental health. On my first play through it was an unknown, a risk. I had no idea how severe the consequences may or may not have been. For that reason, I do not blame anyone who had her take her full dosage.

    I chose to let lily continue to keep taking half doses of her medication. I believe once she found what she was looking for she might switch to a full dose at her own choice. not even the memory snuffing medication could make her forget her grand-kids if she had gotten the right information

    I'll tell you what Pard,
    I get about as much fun and satisfaction watching your content as I do playing the game.
    The insights and imagination you bring to the content you create really fleshes out the game for me, and improves my experience with it.
    Thanks Pard.

    I love the fallout universe so much. Even if fo4 makes little sense most of the time, every other game is so satisfyingly connected. The little details are great.

    Hey Oxhorn! Just wanted to let you know I’ve watched all of your Fallout NV videos and am almost through all of you Fallout 4 videos. I really enjoy your historical videos that compare the real world to the world of Fallout - perfect example being that of Spectacle Island. Fascinating information! Keep up the good work!

    I liked the ending where she takes full doses because I personally know what its like to lose people you care about and not want to let go, but with other peoples help you can learn that dwelling on the past just isnt healthy, that's why I loved lily so much, I could relate and connect
