Big brain moment

Well it actually makes a ton of sense in lore with the world and what your Courier would actually know. In Lonesome Road ED-E mentions he came from Illinois, Chicago and your dialogue options even with 10 Intelligence are “What’s a Chicago?” And “illi-what? Are you making that word up?” Your couriers intelligence is based off of the information available in his world. I doubt that the subtleties of whether an 0 has a slash through it or not and how it can differentiate itself from O didn’t survive the nukes. So it would take a lot of intelligence and information gathering to figure that out for somebody living in the post apocalypse

The perk Math Wrath passes the check.

@@eclong462 Yeah, thanks for the explanation, also why Fallout 4 has such different INT perks, since it goes off pre-war knowledge like only needing a 2 to start improving medical knowledge by wasteland standards, whilst nerd rage needs INT 10 because it isn't the sort of thing you just learn from pre-war books and stuff, whilst in NV Nerd Rage needs way less for that but weapon modding feels like clumsy adjustments with no available training, and you need Medicine 35 just to know about plural systems since that's not what people learn. this isn't F4 praise, just enjoying that NV treats INT as the post war knowledge it is.

@@stm7810 SS knows more about pre-war, courier knows more about the wasteland

think of the override code as like the default passwords to a brand new router or something. Gutsy's were mass produced so its possible that override code is same for certain gutsy/handy models.

Big brain solutions require big brains...

It says "Override 32" on hexadecimal in case you were wondering

I mean, sometimmes common sense is not that common in people

It’s for leveling purposes. It’s a check based off of what they expect what point you could reasonably be at.

Yeah, it involves numbers and obscure words, at least by never going to school standards. by NV standards the average person today would have at least 7 INT

@@stm7810 yeah, like the kid in that tent at the followers camp, who didn’t know the word lieutenant. It’s not like kids are going to school on free side

@@gottfriedschickelgruber2478 Yeah, it was great world building to have the stats represent how they are viewed by that society, like how perception is not that influenced by sight due to all the dust in the air, and it's more about sound and feeling the ground beneath you, Intelegence is about basic medical and mechanical knowledge, like 35 medicine to know about plural systems and use the wrong term, 55 to notice someone's obvious anger issues, 75 repair to turn off a screen to prevent ghost images, 90 science to even suggest brain transfer stuff. but at the same time 50 explosives is enough to make duck and cover tactics instinctual and effective.

@@stm7810 Well it's like Doc Mitchell said, most people in the wasteland aren't educated. Most books and magazines would've been destroyed during the great war, and there won't be a lot of educational institutions outside of civilized area's like NCR territory. The average person is probably going to have 4 intelligence, maybe 5 at most.

@@Wintd1 what I was saying is that even 7 INT is low by our societal standards, it's stuff like counting gunshots in real time, a thing that most people do no trouble. INT means less to fit the world.

Thanks

im pretty sure arcade wouldn't like to be the main man for why bethesda stinks at writing fallout games.

"Bethesda bad!"

"Im not the lore guy" -Arcade, probably

I thought it was 21:32.

[Intelligence 10]

intelligence 8: studied enough latin or old literature to throw in some fancy quotes intelligence 9: "but you put a slash through a O to make 0"

A CHEAP pneumatically-powered gauntlet, mind you

"Oh, this? I found it in the dumpster behind a local Super Duper Mart."

To be fair, this is a setting where you can attach an explosive device to that aforementioned pneumatic fister to make folks explode WHILE hitting them. In that regard, punching is a bit pedestrian.

@@Liide12 Yeah? Up yours too, buddy!

@@OpticBeatz just never challenge Fisto to an up yours match

actually sometimes the script will be used for subtitles and there are lots of evidence that there was more to the story and game

@@Tucher97 really wish the content east of the colorado wasnt cut, id love to see what a fully pacified legion region looks like

@@bcrunch yea there was quite a bit in the game's coding and planning that saids there was more, but i saw a trailer for skyrim extended cut and that trailer claims to add additional story and quests that were removed, but that is me since microsoft is getting their shit together

That’s because the Western half of Arizona was supposed to be in the game but cut for time reasons

He should lots of intelligence given he’s a member of the followers of apocalypse and the son of an enclave soldier.

Courier : snitches get stitches

And that was a wild guess, considering it's a Luck stat check lol

@@ItsAnH 1 Int check

Heck, I usually do int 5 or 6. I should really do a more int based build this time.

You end up doing a lot of talking, which is what I want out of my Fallout experience haha

Yeah, you can run around and be scientastic together, maybe pet some aminals on the way.

Int 1 with Arcade is hella fun too

You're not impressed by the extra skill points?

Veronica does it for me.

@@MulettoMotorsports Veronica is close third tied with both lily and Raul. I know Raul isn’t the funniest or anything but he’s a certified badass in my eyes.

My top 3 arcade lily and Raul

A cheap one by Fallout standards

Failed medicine checks are the funniest after low intelligence checks. Caesar: *ARRGHG* Courier: [Medicine 7/35] Uhhh, does your head hurt? Caesar: What the fuck do you think, asshole?

@@khinlop There's also a reverse Intelligence check in Dead Money. If you have an INT lower than or equal to 4, Dog will explain his origins to you, mentioning both The Master and the Cathedral.

@@Raphie009 Another one is when you meet Arcade, if you have 3 or less intelligence and choose the option he will tag along with you out of pity.

@@Raphie009 Damn, this game and it's details, it makes me wonder how even more incredible it would have been had Bethesda not been petty.

Failed guns check "Look behind you" *pistol whip* "hey you dropped your gun"

@@nicolascarmona6815 [SUCCESS] “Looks like it was.”

The Colorado River, not the state m8

yeah, considering Arcade and Freeside are west of the Colorado River, I think ‘west of Colorado’ is referring to his own perspective, which is very much not coming from east of Arizona. the line must’ve gotten messed up somewhere during development

This was a discrepancy in the wording and captioning, y'all, not any statement on geography.

@@lucase.2546 Actually Arcade’s right originally There was going to be the east side of the Colorado Which is legion controlled territory.

Weast

It appears you yourself have prioritized Intelligence.

Found from another comment : Corruptia optimi pessima: The corruption of the best is the worst. The "best" meaning people of high status and/or rank as Romans called their aristocracy "men of quality". Legum servi sumus: We are slaves/servants - Partial quote of Cicero in Pro Cleuntio . The full quote is "Omnes legum servi sumus ut liberi esse possimus", meaning "We are servants of the law so that we can be free". I'm sure Caesar left out the last part as a means of maintaining his dictatorship. Timeo Danaos et ferentis: I fear the Danaans [Greeks], even those bearing gifts - Virgil, in the Aeneid.

That's actually not correct. The courier was wrong. It's Ouroboros with an o (omicron). The -us ending is latin, and ouroboros is definitely a greek word. Είναι "ουροβόρος" στα ελληνικά

Maybe the nerves in her fingers are messed up from the auto docs Ripping her up?

Perception is noticing no pack brahmin, but intelligence is recognizing thatd be a bit light for a merchant travelling from Goodsprings.

Considering the buttload of cut lines fully voiced by the Sole Survivor, why not?

they should have done silent protagonist with an extended dialogue interface, it would have been much easier for them and allowed the use of perks and stuff in dialogue, like using Medic or gunslinger in the investigation of your spouse dying, or INT for getting more info from the institute, I do like that Sturgis says you already could rip off the gun if you have STR 8, and more things like that would be cool.

It's hexadecimal. It translates to "Override 32".
