What are we going to do tonight Brain? The same thing we do every night Pinky. Try to take over the world! (Wasn't there an episode where Brain tried to start a cult or something?)
Shefield is not addicted to nuka cola. He's an alcoholic and his doctor said he cant have any more liquor and he's going through with withdrawal the nuka cola is to give him something else to drink to help him through it
There’s a mod called functional post game ending. Biggest change would be the defeated faction disappears from your game. So if NCR lost, there are zero soldiers except for the Mojave Outpost and ncr tourists at the strip. All other ncr occupied locations are replaced with Securitrons (Yes man/House ending) Couple that with The living desert which adds many new roaming NPCs that’s compatible with your end game state (BOS patrols if you save them, boomers start exploring if you help them, etc) and the Run the lucky 38 mod where you open the casino for business and imo you get a good post game to enjoy that caps off your adventure.
About the birds... if you make it into the institute you can find various video feeds of the commonwealth, take a closer look... Those feeds are recorded from some odd positions, like the "cameras' are perched on rooftops, telephone poles, power lines, and other places you'd be more likely to find birds instead of cameras...
Something else I noticed, if you have Nick Valentine as your companion and shoot the birds with him nearby, he will grunt as if he was hurt. Very interesting little detail you have to actually try to see.
was about to comment this as well, it was 'proven' by people digging into it once they got the camera feeds from the institute... had me cracking up with the bethesda implementation of the hilarious irl conspiracy
My guess for fallout new Vegas cemetery whispers is death calling the courier back to the grave. Almost as if the courier doesn’t belong with the living.
I agree, you hear whispers, creepy laughing, and objects and doors open/ close on their own through new vegas and not just near gravestones. The dead see you as one of their own.
The watcher initiative can be seen in game - in the Institute several rooms have monitors displaying views of the commonwealth. Another RUclipsr tracked down several of these locations on the screens and the views are from areas with no cameras, but have areas for birds to perch on - trees, fences etc. The views match those perch spots perfectly.
New Vegas post-game could have been easily handled by saying something along the lines of "It will take time for these changes to take effect, do you wish to keep exploring in the mean time?" Fallout 2 gave the option to keep going or quit to main menu so don't see why they stop you finishing up missed exploring in NV.
It could just go "ONE YEAR LATER..." after you beat the final battle. You could still see some changes, like the Strip being annexed to the NCR of you did their ending, etc. But not enough time to change the entire game.
It would’ve been a higher rated game in my opinion if I had an open wasteland to explore post game. A pop up like you mentioned would’ve handled that for me, plus it would’ve allowed the “secret” endings or something akin to Fallout: DUST to be implemented and fleshed out.
Boring answer is a lack of time, a bad engine the team were jury rigging together and console limitations. New Vegas came out at the worst time possible but also couldn't have existed at any other time.
Since Gallo is included, i think Marked Men in The Divide count as cannibals too. Ulysses mentions that they do many horrific things, which could explain them having human meat in inventory.
For the snipers nest, a note in cpt Curtis room in camp McCarran states that a sniper nest is set up overlooking cottonwood cove, so ncr set the nest, though boone could still use that location but not set up the nest
For those rat facts, this is quite possibly a reference to the Animaniacs shorts series “Pinky and the Brain” where Pinky is dumb and Brain does “the same thing we do every night, try to take over the world”
I feel that the only way to handle post game content in NV would've been in a separate story dlc, that takes place sometime after the base game ending. Maybe a brief time skip where you can see the aftermath of your decisions and see how it changed the waste, but I do agree that the game should have a definite story end
The mask in room 1K of the Homestead Motel is an interesting case to me. While it's possible that the Pint-Sized Slasher could have made his way to Point Lookout, it could also be interpreted as someone wearing a replica as it was a popular Halloween costume pre-war, and this person had either learned the history of the mask and wanted to follow in their footsteps, or perhaps was just a deranged killer who had simply found the mask and liked it.
Not once did I ever consider Bright and his followers actually going to space because I didn't think it was possible. Where could they even go? I always assumed it was somewhere else on Earth.
I suppose space by itself could be the destination, or a specific orbit inside a radiation belt. Space is full of radiation and you'd be pretty much untouchable there, aside of the Zetans. Ghouls need very little or none at all of water and food so they are good for supplies. Oxygen might become an issue, but Im sure pre-war america had decent co2 scrubbers. Actually come to think of it, since ghouls need not eat, their bodies have no caloric intake and thus nothing to metabolize their oxygen with, making breathing also probably optional. I don't recall any lore ghouls breathing needs thouhg.
@@puskajussi37 But that would still be hell, in the sense that they would, in a metaphorical sense, spend an eternity basically breathing down each others' necks and actually might end up killing each other. Mind you, although many sci-fi movies and shows seem to assume that 'radiation belts' can occur pretty much everywhere in space or in a solar system, reality is a bit different - radiation belts actually occur only around planets and are caused by their magnetic fields. So those ghouls would have to stay within their rockets, not exactly what I would call 'paradise'.
@@Furzkampfbomber It doesn't have to be heaven, just enough so that Jason would believe so. Maybe he thinks his flock is close and devoted enough that some lack of privacy wouldn't tear them apart.
I'm really surprised that when they introduced Brain that they didn't introduce his right-hand man Pinky. Or some variant of that name that would have made a great little Easter egg
I agree with you on the ending bit, unlike 3, which had a merit and reason in its story to keep going(seeing the results of the water); NV has you upending armies no matter what sides you do or don’t choose. Great video, thanks for the effort.
wrt post-ending content for new vegas, i've always been a little back-and-forth about it, but having it pointed out that "yeah these ending slides tell you about your companions all the way up to their death, and we thought it would be weird for you to get right back into it after that," it makes a lot more sense. would i rather have post-game content or the satisfaction of knowing definitely what happens to my companions after our time together is done? i don't know, because what we got was the end slides, and i'm perfectly content with those as a finale to the rollercoaster of fallout new vegas.
Could the Bright followers that returned to Novac not have come from the one ship we see go astray when lifting off from the facility? It could mean that the remaining rockets did reach their target beyond the stars.
Your point about the ending would work a lot better if theyd never released lonesome road and to an extent old world blues. Id say being lobotomised and nuking the major factions actually makes the core game and the battle of hoover dam trivial.
Actually the nukes don’t make a huge difference, even if you launch both nukes. You’re only nuking the long 15 and the dry wells that the legion had under its control, neither nukes don’t take out a main important area.
I'm really enjoying these Unhinged Fallout Iceberg videos you're doing, @N_orte. The work you put into 'em, and all your other videos, is noticed and appreciated.
There used to be a pond in Jacobstown, right? I swear I remember that gunky looking divot being filled with water. As for the spooky graveyard stuff, I streamed a bit of of New Vegas not too long ago and happened to notice those sounds, definitely caught me off guard
I have a funny story about goodsprings cemetary, I was once attacked by a miniature deathclaw that came running out of the cemetary there, on one of the first days of a playthrough. No one ever believes me and I doubt anyone ever will.
Thought I hadn't thought about it from that point of view, you are absolutely right about Fallout: New Vegas being far better without the option for post-ending play. Bravo to you for the insight...you just made the game better for me!
Heather being such a good spy that no one can find her, actually really fits Fallout’s tone. Some times there just is no perfect choice in this series.
Where is all this nuka cola coming from? It's been 200 years...even assuming that it doesn't spoil, between breakage and 200 years of scavenging there really shouldn't be enough left to be anything other than a collectors item.
I think the whole thing about play game content makes sense. When I played death stranding for the first time it was kinda jarring to play the ending that hit like an emotional freight train and then just go back, to business as usual. I'm glad that's how it worked because there was no way I was starting a new file to 100% (Edit: grammar)
while i would have loved some post game content for FNV in the form of a few wrap up quests for the Courier to do, but I think it is one of the best decisions for it to end then and there and in experience I believe it just adds to the replay value of FNV.
I fundamentally disagree with the shared universe theory for one major reason: these games were created by two separate companies. I know it's not impossible for Bethesda to merge them together in their games, but I just feel like that would be shitting on the foundations laid by the initial creators. Although if I'm completely honest, I'm not certain that Bethesda is above doing that...
What about the ally Leo Petrov? He worked for Nuka Cola security and states he" is addicted to Nuka Cola" plus his ability is Nuka related.... Love your vids and content bro, keep it up please!!!!
Regarding post-game content: I agree with you, a good story has to end, the ending should invoke feelings about the journey and worldbuilding with such magnitude couldn't be possible with post-game. BUT in the end New Vegas is still a game, a big open world game at that and cutting of the rest of the game because "Well, The End, you can go home now" is not cool to many people since they want to continue playing. Of course they could just load up a save before the battle but then there's the problem with "Yo, everyone is waiting for the battle to start, where the frick is the Courier?". Same problem in my opinion but the situation is swapped. Either end the game's story and the gameplay or stop the story entirely and continue the gameplay, which one is worse? I personally like playing Fallout more than ending it. For me the journey is my goal (aka. Fallout is the friends I made along the way) and I don't like to be cut of like that. Had that problem when I played FO3 the first time (before Broken Steel) and I was kinda sad that my game just ended right then and there, I wanted to continue playing. So I can understand both sides of it, I just prefer being able to continue my playthrough instead of the cut-off at the end.
The bird watchers are confirmed if you go to the institute and look at the monitors that show video feed from those places. the video shows views from high up.
Ok is it just me or did when visiting the tribal village near chances grave had a burned corpse reanimate and become hostile it was a shocking find because I have hundreds of hours and I still to this day cannot find anyone that has had or wants to share their experience with the 1 in a million burned corpse attack
I like to think Bright & his followers headed to Los Alamos as another minor reference to “Van Buren.” I suppose returning to Novac would mean hoofing it across nearly the entirety of Legion territory…
I started playing this video and thought I was watching one of my own game clips because your character looks identical to mine (lightweight leather armor and the beret)
I'm surprised you didnt mention the Exodus tabletop rpg game during your bit on rpg games. There is a whole HEAP of stuff on the production of that and the change over when Bethesda took the licence... xD
25:47 just like me with coffee .3. Need atleast 2 or 3 cups a day or I too suffer migraines. They really hurt too. Feels as if someone threw a rock at my head
On the topic of intelligent giant rats. Did anybody else discover the intelligent deathclaw with the child voice in fallout 3? You can only find it if you've got the enclave deathclaw controller from broken steel. It is in an unmarked location cave, it will be hostile and nonvocal if not equiped the enclave device. If you do find it it will walk around and when you click to talk instead of the camera just zooming in it will speak to you and follow you around, but won't leave the cave. Seems to have a child intelligence like in fallout2. The voice is either sally from mother ship zeta or another from little lamplight. Edit: also need animal friend and child at heart perks.
I agree that a story needs an ending and post game content isn't always a good idea because it can dilute the potency of the final conflict. In the case of New Vegas doing post game content would necessarily require them to take a strong stance on which choice is best for the Mojave, which might discourage players from one path or other if they know that the post game would scold them for choosing poorly.
In the fallout 4 guide book it says you can become addicted to nuka cola quantum. Also a legendary effect which causes said weapon to help instead of damaging
I believe theres an audio file that is attatched to the headstones in FNV theres no ghosts it was just a way to make graveyards and cemeteries seem more eerie....attach a creepy audio file to headstones so it has a chance to play when youre in a graveyard
For the cannibals, you could argue that most of the raiders from fallout 3 could be cannibals due to the excessive amount of chopped up bodies laying around the capital wastes. There’s really only a few of reasons to string up bodies like that, and that’s to intimidate, general sadism, or they are draining the blood from the bodies.
New Vegas Post-Game... Because of all the different outcomes for all the factions that exist out there, they would have had to create a rather high amount of variations of the world in the post Hoover Dam state. Biggest change being who the Courier sided with... Did the NCR or Legion win, or did neither win, did the NCR get kicked out by House or the Courier siding with Yes Man. But then you get to all the smaller locales around the Mojave, what did the Khans do, did the Fiends get to raid Camp McCarran, Did the Omertas get to carry out their attempt to take over the Strip.... All the things like that end up needed multiple variations of the world to handle how it would look like after Hoover Dam...
But actually Necropolis is in the west of Vegas, and the rockets were flying east bound, they couldn't be going to necropolis, maybe, just maybe, they were going to Virginia instead, you know that how much player had nuke that place in 2176, it would be a prefect place they were going to if they had heard there is a place like that existed.
6:40 have you ever looked at the tv screens in the Institute if you know exactly where the cameras would be pointing if you go to those locations you could look back and not see cameras but crows on sitting on wires
I for the longest time didnt like that you couldnt continue New Vegas at the end, but as I grown older since its initial release it definitely is a better idea to some extent. That said Im also glad you mentioned Cyberpunk 2077 as one of your favorite game stories. That game while a mess at launch and for a bit afterwards is still one of my favorites.
King rat and brain must be a reference to pinky and the brain. In episodes of pinky in the brain, brain always says he wants to take over the world and pinky does show intelligence but way less than brain does. Coincidence?
In FO4 if you stick around at the echo lake lumber mill for a few minutes after clearing it out for far harbor a man will approach you and ask you is he can eat your settlers at the settlement is he gives you some caps
Diane put it best. "Of course it was wonderful and it was a happy ending, but what about the day after that?" Like.sure New Vegas had great endings But i would like to see the fallout of my actions It is why i like Dust so much. Seeing the results of what happened
New Vegas doesn't need post game content just as much as it doesn't need a sequel. The war is over, the sun sets in the west and the courier is a nameless legend that shaped a generation and the future of the those generations. We still talking about how amazing it is years later, we wouldn't be talking about how amazing the aftermath is. It stands alone as a great and the dlcs are enough extra content to build up the end. Everything was done right. You don't need a sequel, one doesn't very well make stimpacks out of barrel cacti and other improbabilities..
It takes about 3 days to fly to the moon with modern tech, probably about the same with Fallout tech. They could've gone there, but I would guess general "space" would be the best they could have managed. Realistically they probably just semi-crashed in the Mojave.
Honestly can't agree on the lack of a post game. The creators also cited technical issues and their timelines, which make for less glamorous reasons than embellishing their own storytelling ability. I don't think 3 suffered due to Broken Steel actually continuing the story after the "ending", whereas the other DLCs could be completed in any order with relation to the base game. One of the reasons I consider NV a bit overblown is appropriately because the honchos and those working for them got a head full of steam and tried to throw way too much into the pot. What was left over managed to stick and they got extraordinarily lucky to be so lionized for a game that could just as easily have flopped. I'd also argue that anyone calling the Mojave story "major" doesn't have much sense of scale. Slavers and Californians fight over a dam and water/power source while a Pre-War magnate either gains the most powerful robot army in the local region or doesn't - neither of which results in a particularly large footprint in terms of consequences. 1, 2, and 3 all had the specter of a second doomsday looming for the former US or entire world, not just some dust-up in the desert. It's also why 4 has little in the way of stakes, because how do the events in Boston affect the big picture? Similar reasoning why that London mod doesn't interest me in the slightest.
that "giant" skeleton might just be a supermutant. But I don't know if a supermutant skeleton would look like that or not so theres still a chance its a giant.
The intelligent mole rats are definitely an Easter egg about pinky and the brain

I wanted to say this very thing, he "shot" his liver according to his own lines.
Im not saying that he IS addicted, but i would like to say that i though that Nuka-Cola has an addictive element (but i can be wrong)
Nuka cola addiction exists in Fallout 76, he might as well have an actual nukacola addiction
If he is addicted, it's probably better than the alternative. There's worse things to be addicted to

Had that problem when I played FO3 the first time (before Broken Steel) and I was kinda sad that my game just ended right then and there, I wanted to continue playing.
So I can understand both sides of it, I just prefer being able to continue my playthrough instead of the cut-off at the end.
The bird watchers are confirmed if you go to the institute and look at the monitors that show video feed from those places. the video shows views from high up.
I love these videos man keep it up, First time being the first 😎
Ok is it just me or did when visiting the tribal village near chances grave had a burned corpse reanimate and become hostile it was a shocking find because I have hundreds of hours and I still to this day cannot find anyone that has had or wants to share their experience with the 1 in a million burned corpse attack
this happened to me the other day, the whole village came back to life and tried to escape the cazadors. it freaked me out so much
happened to me my Last play through, but this time it was weird and the cazadores didn't spawn at all
Ditto. Same thing happened to me recently in my playthrough. Really caught me off guard at the time.
How though? There's no reamomated corpse model?
probably the goodsprings ghost possessing the corpse tbh
Happy Birthday Gallo! Taking the family to see you is always a treat🥰
I like to think Bright & his followers headed to Los Alamos as another minor reference to “Van Buren.” I suppose returning to Novac would mean hoofing it across nearly the entirety of Legion territory…
Theres a theory that they leave to the glowing sea. Don't know how plausible that is tho.
Love these crazy icebergs
I started playing this video and thought I was watching one of my own game clips because your character looks identical to mine (lightweight leather armor and the beret)
I'm surprised you didnt mention the Exodus tabletop rpg game during your bit on rpg games. There is a whole HEAP of stuff on the production of that and the change over when Bethesda took the licence... xD
25:47 just like me with coffee .3. Need atleast 2 or 3 cups a day or I too suffer migraines. They really hurt too. Feels as if someone threw a rock at my head
On the topic of intelligent giant rats. Did anybody else discover the intelligent deathclaw with the child voice in fallout 3? You can only find it if you've got the enclave deathclaw controller from broken steel. It is in an unmarked location cave, it will be hostile and nonvocal if not equiped the enclave device. If you do find it it will walk around and when you click to talk instead of the camera just zooming in it will speak to you and follow you around, but won't leave the cave. Seems to have a child intelligence like in fallout2. The voice is either sally from mother ship zeta or another from little lamplight.
Edit: also need animal friend and child at heart perks.
You forgot the most notorious Cannibal of all. Although that could be forgotten amidst all his other accolades.
finally a youtuber who actually likes a fable game i can get behind 30:11
i heard the whispering for the first time the other day never played NV with a good headset scared the shit outta me
Knowing this knowledge, for my Legion playthrough, I’m totally killing Boone at Sniper’s Nest
Don't you dare
Could the giant skeleton not be a super mutant skeleton???
I agree that a story needs an ending and post game content isn't always a good idea because it can dilute the potency of the final conflict. In the case of New Vegas doing post game content would necessarily require them to take a strong stance on which choice is best for the Mojave, which might discourage players from one path or other if they know that the post game would scold them for choosing poorly.
Love your work. Subbed.
In the fallout 4 guide book it says you can become addicted to nuka cola quantum. Also a legendary effect which causes said weapon to help instead of damaging
I believe theres an audio file that is attatched to the headstones in FNV theres no ghosts it was just a way to make graveyards and cemeteries seem more eerie....attach a creepy audio file to headstones so it has a chance to play when youre in a graveyard
For the cannibals, you could argue that most of the raiders from fallout 3 could be cannibals due to the excessive amount of chopped up bodies laying around the capital wastes. There’s really only a few of reasons to string up bodies like that, and that’s to intimidate, general sadism, or they are draining the blood from the bodies.
New Vegas Post-Game...
Because of all the different outcomes for all the factions that exist out there, they would have had to create a rather high amount of variations of the world in the post Hoover Dam state.
Biggest change being who the Courier sided with... Did the NCR or Legion win, or did neither win, did the NCR get kicked out by House or the Courier siding with Yes Man. But then you get to all the smaller locales around the Mojave, what did the Khans do, did the Fiends get to raid Camp McCarran, Did the Omertas get to carry out their attempt to take over the Strip.... All the things like that end up needed multiple variations of the world to handle how it would look like after Hoover Dam...
What if the pint sized slasher is a midget not a kid?
16:29 man, he could’ve waited until the courier came along and we could’ve saved them for him .3.
But actually Necropolis is in the west of Vegas, and the rockets were flying east bound, they couldn't be going to necropolis, maybe, just maybe, they were going to Virginia instead, you know that how much player had nuke that place in 2176, it would be a prefect place they were going to if they had heard there is a place like that existed.
6:40 have you ever looked at the tv screens in the Institute if you know exactly where the cameras would be pointing if you go to those locations you could look back and not see cameras but crows on sitting on wires
Never played New Vegas, and I always thought they were POWER gangers. You know, like power armour 😵
I'm surprised that brain didn't have pinky wandering around
25:18 Sheffield is not suffering from nuka-cola withdrawal, but alcohol.
I really wish they had kept Hawkins as a character because I played fallout new Vegas for almost a decade before discovering vault 19
The only cannibals I think you missed mentioning was the Vault 22 escapees in Honesty Hearts that the Survivalist executed.
The Pitt slaves also eat human meat, well post-human meat. The slop you can get from Madea is made from trogs.
I think he also missed the cannery one in Fallout 4 that substituted ghoul meat for meat in canning
Jason Bright is one of the only selfless characters ive met in fallout. I respect him
I for the longest time didnt like that you couldnt continue New Vegas at the end, but as I grown older since its initial release it definitely is a better idea to some extent. That said Im also glad you mentioned Cyberpunk 2077 as one of your favorite game stories. That game while a mess at launch and for a bit afterwards is still one of my favorites.
Lets great ready for part 3! 💪😎🇺🇸
Btw, they are called Sykers or Psyches
Brain and King Ra'at seem like a lite reference to pinky and the brain
King rat and brain must be a reference to pinky and the brain. In episodes of pinky in the brain, brain always says he wants to take over the world and pinky does show intelligence but way less than brain does. Coincidence?
The Pitt slaves are also cannibals, the slop they’re fed is made from Trog meat and dirty water.
I've thought twice about drinking nuka cola since being irradiated by drinking one for the first time
Missed opportunity not to call the other Talking Molerat "Pinky..."
In FO4 if you stick around at the echo lake lumber mill for a few minutes after clearing it out for far harbor a man will approach you and ask you is he can eat your settlers at the settlement is he gives you some caps
Diane put it best.
"Of course it was wonderful and it was a happy ending, but what about the day after that?"
Like.sure
New Vegas had great endings
But i would like to see the fallout of my actions
It is why i like Dust so much. Seeing the results of what happened
New Vegas doesn't need post game content just as much as it doesn't need a sequel. The war is over, the sun sets in the west and the courier is a nameless legend that shaped a generation and the future of the those generations. We still talking about how amazing it is years later, we wouldn't be talking about how amazing the aftermath is. It stands alone as a great and the dlcs are enough extra content to build up the end. Everything was done right. You don't need a sequel, one doesn't very well make stimpacks out of barrel cacti and other improbabilities..
16:48 actually no this is apart of florn hope we know by a note in the traitors room at camp macaroni airport
In fallout 3 you can encounter Hunters that can sell you Mysterious meat. They are more like a random encunter
Killing them awards positive Karma.
Awesome videos. Love it
sweet glad you did this
It takes about 3 days to fly to the moon with modern tech, probably about the same with Fallout tech. They could've gone there, but I would guess general "space" would be the best they could have managed.
Realistically they probably just semi-crashed in the Mojave.
Honestly can't agree on the lack of a post game. The creators also cited technical issues and their timelines, which make for less glamorous reasons than embellishing their own storytelling ability. I don't think 3 suffered due to Broken Steel actually continuing the story after the "ending", whereas the other DLCs could be completed in any order with relation to the base game. One of the reasons I consider NV a bit overblown is appropriately because the honchos and those working for them got a head full of steam and tried to throw way too much into the pot. What was left over managed to stick and they got extraordinarily lucky to be so lionized for a game that could just as easily have flopped.
I'd also argue that anyone calling the Mojave story "major" doesn't have much sense of scale. Slavers and Californians fight over a dam and water/power source while a Pre-War magnate either gains the most powerful robot army in the local region or doesn't - neither of which results in a particularly large footprint in terms of consequences. 1, 2, and 3 all had the specter of a second doomsday looming for the former US or entire world, not just some dust-up in the desert. It's also why 4 has little in the way of stakes, because how do the events in Boston affect the big picture? Similar reasoning why that London mod doesn't interest me in the slightest.
You missed an important cannibal, of course the player character. MmmMmmMmmm who needs stimpacks when you can snack on raiders.
that "giant" skeleton might just be a supermutant.
But I don't know if a supermutant skeleton would look like that or not so theres still a chance its a giant.
Can't wait for the next part!!!
Maybe the Pinecrest Cavern skeleton is that of a super mutant?
I can"t believe SPECIAL was almost ACELIPS
