>Your Brain >Weight -- | Value -- Thanks, Obsidian. You know just how to raise my self esteem.

"You dare use logic against me?" - Cause of every argument on the Internet, ever.

10:40 "Okay, then. I'm going" "Good, go!" "I WILL!" "FINE!" "GREAT!" "I KNOW IT'S GREAT!"

“I’m not going to harm it. I’m going to dissect it until it’s DEAD.” -Dr. Klein

Oxhorn, you missed a pretty funny interaction with your brain where, if you have the "flirt perks" you can actually hit on your brain.

"The Courier had already called dibs." Wow.

Holy shit, Dr. Mobius's voice without the 'digitalization' is incredible. What's his voice actor? EDIT: _All_ of the characters have really good voice actors. They're all very talented.

If the Brain controls the Courier as to not be a true Lobotomite, yet the Brain and Courier are able to think and act independently of one another, where does the seat of consciousness lie in the human body?

Don't forget mobuis line "I can just leave my message on repeat while I go do mentats" So he didn't even really know you were conscious and not a lobotomite when he attacks you. Those god like speaches when he send scorpions are not him actually looking in.

The brain sounds like Stewie Griffin, I finally clued in

I always found Mobius to be lovable, I always saved him.

I feel like the whole conversation with your brain Indicates quite a bit of self loathing on the couriers part.......

I would love to have a shirt that says "I do so love custard, err, was it mustard". Single sided if possible. It would be the best shirt.

I didn't kill the brains either, not even Mobius. Their existence is punishment enough, with Big MT their big jail cell and mental degradation their ultimate fate. I do appreciate their usefulness though, and if I could roleplay further, I would even get some fixer for Mobius. All in all, a fantastic DLC, but now it's time to walk that old lonesome road.

That intro was brilliant: From the visuals and opening quotations, to Dala's OooOOOooo at the end, it perfectly captures the feel of this DLC. Thanks for doing this series, it was great fun reliving the absurd adventures and unrelenting weirdness of Old World Blues and Big MT.

13:11 if you have a bad karma you can say "But what about the good things? What about crushing those who oppose you, the smell of fire... loot"

My god... coming back to the Sink, with all of the personalities installed... It's like that scene in Evil Dead 2.

I love the way the Couriers brain says monster.

17:20 "I sort of thought i'd just start punching things and see where that gets me" I'm dead

The Follower of the Apocalypse most likely jumped from the Dome balcony after realizing the horrors of Big MT and their inevitable death or lobotomization. Most Likely why the field is there now and active.

I punched a deathclaw in face once, I was role playing as SAXTON HAAAAAALE

Confronting your Brain was my favourite part of the DLC, so weird and cool all at the same time...

Roxie and Rex's ending is the best. Fills my heart with warmth :)

That moment when your own fucking brain starts roasting you...

I think it's far better the Think Tank and Mobius remain alive. Their minds are still incredibly intelligent, and can be used to great effect for surviving humanity, though the Courier is a necessary middleman. Mobius was right when he said the world was not ready for their, "too-far-thing-taking." It's like parents passing on knowledge to their children. These minds remaining can keep the knowledge of the old world, though they were part of why it was destroyed, in order to build the new world.

First thing I did back in the Mojave was punch a deathclaw in the face, because I hadn't thought about trying that. Good job, brain. Note: Brain will have the same line about Helios One and Jason Bright regardless of if you completed those quests. If you did not complete one or both before Old World Blues, the game may glitch out, and brain will repeat that line until you exit the game and reload making that particular dialogue tree unviable. Roxie, Rex (companion), and their cyber puppies is my favorite side ending in the entire game! They're so cute together! (...T-shirt?) Glad you're back, Oxhorn! We missed you. Hope you're doing well. :)

8 has a bit of a different dialogue at the end if you hack him - or maybe I should say Klein has a bit of a different response to his dialogue. It's a bit more fearful, asking why 8 is acting like a zombie. I honestly wanted an option to release the think tank - I just liked those brains more than I liked everyone in the Mohave not being vivisected. :3

I love some of those speech options. Trolling your own brain...

I do so love vivisection or was it lobotomy

Now, there is one road left for you to travel, and unfortunately for you, it's a road you must travel....alone. But, in accordance to Old World Blues, nicely done, Ox.

What’s really beautiful with the DLCs is the ideas that flow through them. One great idea is that in the good/true endings each area has a guardian. The Sierra Madre has Christine overlooking it. Zion had the Survivalist, then Joshua & Daniel. Big MT has the Courier. The Divide has Ulysses. Then you let the NCR annex New Vegas or Mr House rule.

so I love the conversation with your brain, it touches a bit on a real theory of split brain syndrome. where you are actually 2 people. CGP Grey did a cool video about it a while back.

your brain sounds like stewie from family guy. LMAO, that's awesome.

Welcome back oxhorn, hope you feeling better :)

I do think that more games should have more DLC, and especially content, that has so much effort and soul put into it. OWB (Old World Blues) was so much fun and one of the best experiences that I have ever had, and I didn't even play it. For so much thought and emotion to come from just the story alone; I hope not just Obsidian, but all game content creators put in their best effort and make plenty more memorable adventures in the near and far future. P.S. Who is your favorite of the Think Tank scientists?

I find the Sink cheering at the very end very heartwarming. It's like they were throwing me a surprise party.

I need Dr. Mobius saying WOOeeOOeeYOOee as a ringtone. Holy shit. Nevermind. Made my own. soundcloud.com/sage-whore/mobius-oooweeoooweeooo Link for whoever wanted this as badly as I did.

Why does my brain wheigh nothing in this game ... dang im dum

It comes down to the future for me: In my headcanon, the courier periodically returns to the MT lab and manages it after the events at the Hoover Dam. Given a new scientific drive and purpose by a non-degraded brain, the MT lab is able to churn out long-lost and desperately needed technology like the advanced water purification techniques used in the village, the life support and medical data in the suit and the auto docs, manufacturing techniques, bio-research etc. that are needed to rebuild and improve the ruined world and help the various tribes maintain non-violent methods of subsistence or help the communities overlooked by an overburdened NCR. The Think Tank and Moebius, degraded as they are, are still brilliant minds capable of much research and innovation with the right direction. No matter the past that died with the old world (which was pretty much bad news all around as we learn time and time again in the various games), they are needed for the present. Just like a toaster hell-bent on world domination can lay the groundwork for new and improved constructions, so can the ghosts of an era gone by lay the groundwork for the living of tomorrow. Afterall... without Vault-Tec and their experiments, the NCR would have never come into existence, the Capital wasteland would not have access to clean water and the Enclave would have taken over long ago.

26:50 "The eyes do more than see." That's some good sagely advise there, Mobius.😁👍

So Mobius is the good guy?

*VIVISECT ME PLEASE*

I’m making Mobius’ impression of the woooeeeOOOOO my ringtone, that is amazing voicing

The whole brain in a jar with the body controlled by remote is a reference to a star trek TOS episode where Spock got his brain stolen and McCoy had to maintain and control Spock's body by remote control.

I think if Obsidian was given the time they would be able to make an amazing game that I believe would be equal to or greater then New Vegas. Still want to see a Muggy mug.

Your brain sounds like the Doctor when they're especially salty. I couldn't wait for this vid!

(Some where in the Mojave waste land) NCR soldier: *sees a pack of cyber dogs* yells over to a kings member: did that Rex dog have pups? King: no? *Dogs run and start licking civilians* and that was 100 and 1 cyber German shepherds!!

I love conversing with my brain Eyes Do More Than See is a science fiction short story by Isaac Asimov Who also wrote the 3 laws of robotics, a nice little nod

I want a WooeeOoowooeeoo ray gun.

"Helios one coming back online" damn. flashbacks to Northernlion's playthrough.

Wait, you can disable the force field at the balcony. Never knew that in all my playthroughs.

33:54 but that isn't a lie Mobius did just let you take your brain and walk out And he was pretty nice about everything

ROLMAOOOOOOOOOO, Toaster: all will eat burnt toast and despair. Im done for the day.

We missed you so much yesterday, but we know that life gets in the way. Thank you for your work, Oxhorn!

This whole thing feels like a ventriloquist arguing with himself

I love this part this was great. I had a high medicine at this point because I had spent my last two or three levels jacking it up so I was able to pass all those checks

Mentats, get youre mentats here !!

Damn, to think that started this series 2 weeks ago, and it's still going. Idk about you guys but time goes by slow for me so it feels like Ox been doing this for like a month

These are my favorite DLC Story Videos, thus far. Thanks for setting the bar so high for "Oxhorn's Beautiful yet Tragic Tales!" The Big MT will always have a lovely little place in my heart! Ox, thank you for all of the hard work you do! Amazing series. Exceptional videos. Listening to these stories brings a smile to my face & a tear in my eye. Happy dreams, beautiful stories & interesting moral philosophy, What more does one need, really?

Even though I'm playing this currently, I love your vids on this DLC so much I had to watch it again! Puts me in a good mood every time! Thanks!

So how does the think tank do their things without arms?

I died at 25:42 and 26:37

Those old world blues have sadly ended.

It would be cool if there was an option to let the think tank scientists invade the Mojave, and you could see their experiments around after the DLC, kind of like the Fallout Dust mod

Can’t wait for the Lonesome Road series!

Roxie and Rex. Couple of the year.

Welcome back, Oxhorn! I do hope you are feeling better! ^-^ and thank you for today's video (and for creating incredible content in general)! I'm excited to see what you will bring to our feed tomorrow and in days to come. Please keep up the amazing work!!

Honestly watching this was worth it, thank u for making this video series. It helped me answer some questions I still had, and when I make a second new Vegas playthrough will help me fix some choices I made that in hindsight I shouldn't have

This was probably the best written DLC I’ve ever played. All of the characters are absolutely hilarious

Roxie x Rex OTP

This series was awesome and thrilling to watch as is the case with all of your videos, Oxhorn! You sure do manage to speak of everything in such a likeable mature old fashioned way that I have a hard time not watching your videos because of your ability to keep things interesting even when they are not. That sure is something worthy of respect of a highest degree.

this whole DLC was like one massive interactive episode of Futurama and i loved every second of it! thanks for showing us the stuff we could have missed Oxhorn (I can guarantee i got one of the...er...'lesser' endings, unfortunately) but now, i return to Big MT to uncover the technology we thought lost forever!

What a ride... only affirms how amazing the writing in New Vegas has been, sadly something extremely rare these days.

Am I the only one who wants to install a silicone receptacle in Dr. Dala to help with her.. uh, studies?

I want to say thank you I've gotten back into fallout nv about 2 or so months and have been going through a difficult time but your videos have made my days so much better. Thank you so much.

A tiny Muggy that sounds like Ren Hoek, Dr. Mobius who sounds like (IS!) Professor Farnsworth, and your own brain who sounds like Stewey. THIS is why I love this game.

I still love the Julie farkus being a good doctor line...

One time I used a grenade rifle to kill them all at once with one shot. I think it was just luck, but I shot at Klein and it killed them all.

Oxhorn, I want you to realize just how awesome Obsidian is. Two of my favorite games are Kotor 2 and New Vegas. You can see the love and care taken by the devs in both as they are both very similar situations. Both were set in a very established canon and both respected that immensley. You saw more care with canon when Obsidian is at the helm than Bethesda or Bioware. And each one added massive quality of life changes and expanded systems from the previous game. The fact that one of the Devs on New Vegas was a gun nut did not suprise me after playing the game and finding it out. I knew someone that respected firearms and the physics behind them was working on New Vegas. The same way I knew that Obsidian respected the Fallout universe and did it's best to incorporate that vast fiction reliably into their take. All the while still making a very fun game that you can play any way you want! Old World Blues was one of my favorite gaming experiences and I'm going to go make a new New Vegas character just because of it. Gonna steal every, single, book I can and take them with me to Big MT. Gonna cheese the fuck out this one!

That was cool to hear lines hinting to Lonesome road at the end credits and Jefferson talking to you after beating the brains

The “Brain Tank” reminds me of Stewie Griffin

I love how sassy it is, like a mix of Stewie and Wheatley

Enjoying these videos. So much so I'm going back and watching your older ones. Got my wanting to play them. Only started with 4. 3 and new Vegas looks like a lot of fun.

I swear the courier’s own brain is possibly one of the most flushed out characters from old world blues

Is it me or does the Courier's brain sound kinda like Stewie from The Family Guy. Even the attitude is there.

Can you cover the stories of all the casinos on the strip?

I like the loot episodes because of how helpful they are when I want to find a weapon or armor. I can just pull up the loot video find what I'm looking for and you have a quick and straight to the point guide on how to get it.

Arguing with your brain is literally that Spiderman meme when he's point at a clone

I just love the voice of your brain…makes my brain sound like a round earther….

QUOTE FROM INTRO

Great videos Oxhorn, really made me want to play this game again! I look forward to your videos on the lonesome road. Glad also that you are better. I too finished MT as you did and exactly for the reasons you pointed out at the end.

always kept them alive myself since from a roleplay perspective having the courier in charge guiding the think tank and Mobius they would bring about new technologies to the world. Like a slightly better version of the institute and much more private and secretive.

Yes we definitely need a loot video ... good to have you back mate

OooooOooOoooOoOOoO

Great job on this series. Really impressed you managed to bring it all together. :D

I think explaining the loot as you go is a brilliant idea and that is one of the reasons this is my favorite series by you

*"Maybe i shouldn't punch that deathclaw in the face"* said no player ever. *"oh look, a deathclaw..... I'MA PUNCH IT!!!!!!!!"* said every player ever.

1:00:12 HE SAID IT!!!

DEFINITELY one of the most creative and interesting DLCs I've ever played, certainly in the Fallout franchise. I spent a LOT of time in the Big Empty but I obv missed a lot of content. The Voice Actors, the warped mindset of the 'brains', the Amazing and Astounding backdrop and stories. A close second was always the Bioshock Infinite DLC with Booker de Witt then Elizabeth taking control in Chapter 2. There are possibly more but these 2 do come to mind {I'm just sad that a DLC wasn't made for Planescape:Torment or Thief 1, 2 or 3}. Thank you for the full completion of every outcome, Oxhorn! I never did have a conversation with my brain - although, tbh? I didn't have the Medicine/Tech skills to complete some of the conversational jousts - and I was happy with the new spine, heart and brain so I figured 'why would I want my old crappy meat parts when these upgraded parts are so much better?' and left Empty without any 'endstory' narration...which seems odd[?]. EDIT: How come the geniuses who created the wonderful DLCs of FO3 and FONV create such TRIPE as FO4's 'Become a Raider for fun' DLC???? Seriously? Whatever it is called, it is the laziest, most asinine, downright complacent attempt at 'writing' for a DLC... you simply 'become' a Raider or 'Fiend' and go around murdering, torturing and blackmailing the very people you went a long way to save from these monsters. It's so bloody lazy I cannot get my head around it. Of course, there will always be people who want to try out the life of a Raider, but it's not as if it's THAT hard to do that anyway. Just kill every child or family you find and laugh maniacally as you torture their siblings and rape the wife whilst making the husband watch... there will ALWAYS be 14 yr olds and adults who want to do that because their life experiences are very short and safe and 'risk' is something they've never truly experienced. It's just such a cheap, nasty and, above all, lazy DLC when compared to the FONV and FO3 DLCs. I guess it's done for the millenials? They seem to be a narcissistic, self-indulgent, sociopathic bunch. No. It's just the 'spirit of the age', I think.

25:36 Best line in the entire game.
