Begin again in the night

One of my most fav quotes is in the Dead Money DLC "Finding it though, that's not the hard part. Its letting go", it can mean anything, fortune, love and so on.

FUN FALLOUT FACT Even though Dean Domino suggests it, the gas tanks that the Ghost People carry around cannot be shot and detonated before being thrown. It's an oversight by the devs who intended it to be into the game.

Poor bastards. It's "funny" how their horrible condition and the torment they go through makes for a good argument as to why letting Dog tear them apart and devour them is not only a morally good action but a mercy upon them. Even if they weren't actively trying to kill (or possibly turn) everyone who isn't them.

Dead Money is often said to be the least favorite of the dlc's. The story behind it is what made it so special to me and made me put up with the issues

Its kinda neat to know their Perception is supposed to be low but it ticks over to the max - makes them even more scary. Like they know their home and when something isnt supposed to be.

The red mist material was basically a self replicating lead based paint fume that caused mercury type affects 😅 What if Big MT intended it to be a potential radiation protection. But as you can guess it was another case of; Be careful what you wish for from Big Mt Science

Their weird body movement make them a nightmare for me. The non-human movement is really creepy and out of place. Great enemies.

Played this game a million times now and have been through the Sierra Madre multiple times itself, and it STILL makes me jittery and occasionally scares the crap out of me still.

Definitely the most terrifying enemy in New Vegas. When I first saw one, I was like, oh maybe he's friendly. As I was thinking that, it jumped and scared the shit outta me.

Tue Big MT really did a number to the Mojave world, whatever is happening in Fallout New Vegas most of it at least is because the scientist's wanted to experiment more.

the most special part about Dead Money was the feeling it gave. The courier was brought alone to a hostile and deadly place, and the game nailed to translate the desolate feeling of being there.

I remember these guys bullying me in dead money. I was level 40/50 so these guys were super strong.

Imagine your Gas Leak sounding like the Screams from Hell. Do you call an Engineer or an Exorcist?

They talk about the shoddy material alot, but lets not forget compared to alot of places in the game its in great condition for surviving a nuclear war plus being bathed in corrosive cloud for 200 years

The ghost people scare me because they haunt the place but are still alive. It gives me uncanny valley vibes and it scares the heck out of me.

One of the most fascinating beings on the most fascinating addon. I've read a bunch of theories on them and their unique relationship to the cloud. One theory states that the cloud is organic, a bioweapon of sorts. It keeps the ghost people alive by sustaining them, and this also explains why the cloud can be used to make sierra madre martinis.

Honestly, I really hate you can’t go back to the Sierra Madre. Normally it’s just such a cool place.

The Quote "I left my heart in the Sierra Madre" sums all of my experience playing this DLC from start to finish. Especially the Farewell from Vera that she recorded after you've done playing the DLC.

The Ghost People were not a problem long range as a Energy Weapon main, especially with one of the best energy snipers for me

Still we we got more concrete evidence as to what the red cloud was but I guess that's what makes the Sierra Madre such an interesting subject. The mystery keeps you coming back

Too bad we can’t visit their lair/nest. I bet there are interesting- and valuable- things inside.

Dead money was always my personal favourite dlc, despite the others being equally perfect in their own right. I just found myself enamoured and in awe of the atmosphere and storytelling of the casino and the characters.

I kinda wish we had to go into sewers at some point. Just to see how rhe Ghost People live and survive

The ghosts are completly blind as well. I've gotten into situations where I'd be stuck standing in front of them while they stare me down with them purdy eyes because one step sideways would have 3+ on me at once with no stimpacks left. It was pretty awkward.

Can I just say, this is the best Fallout lore I've encountered in my travels throught the Wasteland that is KZfaq. Such passion for the topics discussed, and such detail given; it inspires me to go back to each game again and again, and I've recently started Fallout 2 because of this content and I just wanted to say thank you. Keep up the excellent work and, like war, never change!!

Another great video. attempt #5 asking for a video covering ED-E everyone's favourite portable work bench, long range scanner and explosive production factory

I'm not sure if you've talked it about it before, but I would love to hear you talk about the numbers stations you can find while exploring in fallout 3

Dude yes! Synonymous coming in for the win today.

Been keeping my eye out for this one for some time. Brilliant stuff.

Meanwhile the courier can just take it off and on like it's nothing lol

this is my favorite Fallout Creature in the series. very unique and very unforgettable once you play Dead Money(also my favorite dlc in New Vegas)

happy you covered these guys they are spooky but a good shot in the dome helps and Dog does wonders

Weren't the suits of the "ghost people" the precursor to the Y-17 trauma harnesses?, I remember reading a terminal in big MT saying so, it was in a building with a bunch of Y-17 skeletons inside as well

Maybe i havent found it in your archives, but perhaps you could do something about the Boomers? Specifically their pre-Nellis existence, what their vault was like and how they found Nellis. Just a thought.

These might be my favorite enemies from the Fallout series. Sierra Madre was a delight.

Dead money is my favourite fallout dlc and I don't care what anybody say's otherwise

Great video (as usual)!!

Funny thing: They are a bit harder to fight in the german version if it isn't the Ultimate Edition - since the cut they had to made on original release included not having limbs visibly being dismembered, making it harder to judge if they are taken out or just temporarily stopped

I never actually understood why people would have still worn the suits but it does make sense if they were worried about the radiation.

I dunno how many other people have pointed this out but I absolutely love the name of the Sierra Madre casino because the theme of the DLC is very reminiscent of the film Treasure of the Sierra Madre, absolutely by design.

Can you shed any light on how Dr. Lesko got his grubby mitts on F.E.V.?

I always assumed the ghost people were a special kind of ghoul. Dead Money was my favorite part of this amazing game

Ah, the Sierra Madre... a legacy of greed, obsession and pure, cold indifference, from both the past and the present. A nightmarish lair of the damned and the dead. A dark and terrible challenge to put fear back into an endgame character who thinks there's nothing left to scare them. And probably the most terrifyingly immersive experience in the entire Fallout franchise!

Thank you for this one!! Been really waiting for it

I love your lore videos straight into it and you have the voice of a narrator 👍

Needed this right about now

Good video synonymous.

In some way, the suits acted like coffins for the workers and they were exposed to small doses of the cloud’s toxins which turned them into what they are now.

Nobody gives enough attention to all the "world-ending" things Fallout NV introduced, like the cloud and the tunnelers.

i can imagine you vibrating with glee when you came up with the "break neck speed" @ 3:53

you are a gem thank you 😊

Man I really missed out on fallout DLCs but I don't feel like playing the whole thing again for that. I still remember most of it like I played it year ago.

Ahh, good episode. Dead money is probably the best DLC overall

Some of the most disturbingly tragic enemies in the series fr

i got a theory... Big Mountain was developing a special type of suit capable of recording and learning the wearer's movements so that it could attack more enemies even after death and also to return the dead soldier to base, which in this case are the clothes of those Y-17 trauma override harness, perhaps these Hazmat Suits that the Ghost People use have a similar technology since in some idle animations they appear to be interacting with some type of computer keyboard, other than that, as they appear to be somewhat Ghoulified, I believe they follow the same logic as ghouls with radiation but with the red cloud, in FNV's Hardcore mode it is confirmed that the red cloud affects the player even in small quantities and is present throughout the Villa, as the player continues to take damage even though they are not in a very concentrated area of ​​the cloud, perhaps the fact that the workers in the Hazmat suits died to the gas that got inside the suits has Ghoulified them in some way so that the cloud works like radiation for them, causing them to heal from small injuries (or superficial injuries) quickly, not to mention that the clothing may be making some movements easier for them since after it is damaged, they can no longer move, so perhaps if the ghost people were taken to an area 100% free from the red cloud, they would not rise after death (Used google translator so expect some mistakes)

I have absolutely no idea what they are. This should help a lot!

Wait wait wait, I thought the only reason they moved was the fact the ghost suits were refitted biohazard versions of the trauma suits at BIG MT. I thought they're also walking suits with corpses in them?

I heard that the hollograms were supposed to be a distraction. You turn them on and the ghost people fall to their knees in worship. But that never made it in. A mix of the gas and radiation made them that way i think. Not just one. You know we got a lot of information about Mr. Yesterday but not what ended up happening to him. I would have liked some closure. 😌

Honestly dead money is still my favorite dlc

Best Fallout lore channel.

"Replicated at breakneck speeds" Dude, too soon

Their movements are what make them iconic. They’re not clumsy, far from it. It just seems that way. But there’s a gracefulness to their attacks. Their unnatural angles of attack. Decades of melee weapon fighting have left them pretty adequate. They freaked me out when I first saw them, but I immediately was intrigued by them. Dead money is my favorite dlc lore wise and tone wise.

Probably my favorite subhuman species just because of their mystique

Just woke up to more good content keep it up mate.

I'm surprised you haven't done it already, or maybe I missed it, but what about our dear follower Fawkes ? Or should I say Security officer Shelton Delacroix ? I mean it's not officially said it's him but everything says he is. His holotapes were cut from the game but you can look for them in the game files with BAE. They even did the french version of it

Looting all the gold from the vault (hard, but possible) is totally game breaking, because it makes you the richest man in the Wasteland.

“Babe wake up he has posted”

I bet the fact the holograms never change or have changed from the cloud shows them as a level above the ghost people. So it’s almost like they see what they could’ve been or something

People always hate on this dlc as the most difficult, especially on hardcore and higher difficulties, but if you bring rawrs fost in with you and took melee/unarmed perks as well as the perk that rips enemies to pieces, it becomes almost a cakewalk

Definitely one of the darkest DLCs in all of Fallout history..... I LUV IT

I love this please do more New Vegas stuff

If the TV series adapts this storyline, I'll be pumped!

Dead money is my first favorite dlc (only play it second due^ to grinding levels and equipment from OldWorldBlues).

This dlc haunted my dreams as a kid 😢

I think the ghost people might be a special kind of ghoul.

Just made a coffee. Perf timing for my phone to notify me. Cracking work as always 🙌

I left my ❤️ in the Sierra Madre

Nice use of Faustian bargain

Personally I interpret their reverence of the holograms and Christine as them remembering their pre-war lives. The holograms look lile people they saw before being trapped in their suits and Christine ends up with Vera's voice, a voice of a pre-war idol. Instead of worship, it feels more like they're stunned by these pre-war memories, showing there's still a human trapped in that suit and not just a completely feral monster.

Looking forward to more videos relating to the Sierra Madre. It's currently the closest thing to a horror game I've played.

One possible reason why the Ghost people don't attack the holograms and eventually Christine is that the fragments of the workers memory remembers the holograms as a life before the cloud and since Christine now has Vera's voice remembers her as a ViP. Still one of hated DLCs but has amazing lore nevertheless.

These ghost people always take a shit ton of bullets when I play the game. Easily one of the spookiest Fallout locations.

I wonder if they in a way are fused to the suits like the big daddies in Bioshock are to their own?

It's never too late to begin again, though not every new beginning is chosen or intentional.

And one more thing. I… WE… hope you enjoyed your stay.

What if I'm ready to ghost people in Texas get a message to become merchants

So I’ve been playing 76 lately and I started thinking about a lot of thing like in the opening pre war part of fallout 4 sierra Madre was opening at the same time and Randall Clark was retiring home the 76 wen you leave the vulte if my memories are correct fall out 1 take place at the same time and Randall Clark is currently surviving in Zion at the same time

This is like my 6th time watching this video. Yiu forgot to mention that Dean domino was in on the building of the villa he was getting a kick back and it was possible him who pushed the foreman on the down the stairs

I had no idea that those in the casino were massacred by the security systems of the Sierra madre. So sad😢

hahaha 'break neck speed'

I always thought that Frederick Sinclair was very similar to the character of Andrew Ryan in bioshock

I have a love/hate relationship with this dlc. I love the idea but didn’t like some aspects of playing it. I did love stealing all the gold and sneaking out, trapping Elizah there though haha

Man has Luetin09 levels of narration

hello Synonymous the "Ghost people" are terrifying dragging you back to their lair to turn you into a gas Ghoul Zombie

Kinda sucks we can't bring 1 companion in new vegas and provide post dead money quest. That would've make this dlc repeatable. Although I enjoyed it I just couldn't go back. Felt like Christine doesn't deserve to stay there for good. Dean should've run the sierra instead and dog/god to be part of jacobstown

Maaan. First time i played dead money, i hated it. Now, i love the story. Its amazing.

Fist of Rawr is your friend in Dead Money.

People who don’t like dead money are weak, second best dlc in the game, played it for the first time a few months ago with no context and waking up with nothing on me was one of the most terrifying yet exhilarating experiences I’ve ever had in a fallout game. Ghost people were terrifying enemies.

I like how they are just there snd it like rhe best thing. Also i still steal all the Gold Bars!
