RIP Rene Auberjonois

No more secrets

House lets a remarkable amount of bullshit slide, I'll give him that. "What do you mean you killed all the Omertas?? Ugh, moving on..."

​@@Psychohistorian42Its even better if you make them planning to overtake the Strip. House would question your intention in sabotaging the operation but he rewards you for *informing* him of their planned insurrection.

@@Psychohistorian42my favorite is when you initiate dialogue with him at the fort then immediately say “goodbye” as your first response. he’s like “goodbye?? is that supposed to be a joke??” like he’s actually *shocked* it’s one of, if not the only time in the game you can catch house on the back foot. he’s usually so 10 steps ahead and knows everything that you’re going to say that it makes the rare times you can take him off guard that much more valuable

@yourehereforthatarentyou oh hell, I gotta do that now. "Ahh, there you are. Now-" "Oh, hey boss." "Wait, WHERE ARE YOU GOING? GET BACK HERE!!" 😆

@yourehereforthatarentyou I'm actually planning on finally doing a dumbass run in Vegas (on purpose, anyway), and I'm planning on siding with House. Going to be like an episode of Black Adder.

Obsidian put more effort into this game in 1 year than most AAA developers do in 4 years these days.

It happened in my run 💀🙏

I just did this on my first playthrough... I was scared to face up to him thinking he was like the big enemy in the game hahaha, wanted to do more legion or NCR quests to level up before... Kinda ruined it because I missed out on all his cool scenes lol, I ended up killing him without really knowing much about his goals etc

What is so unlikely about this? It would be weird if they didn't account for it and he would've spoken to you there as if you're already acquainted

​@@unescoworldheritagesite7508I mean if you've played a modern game, a lot of devs are just too assed to implement stuff like this.

i think most games will just force you to meet house at the strip, in order to avoid things like this

Decision Trees

Any proper quality assurance will take care of that. Which modern triple A titles lack quite frequently

To be fair, it *was* delivered a *bit* late.

@@dydlus I know but it's funny you get paid caps you can make playing the game on your first or second run doing jobs for regular NPC's, and whatnot, also, trading helps too selling off a bunch of stuff in less than 5 minutes. Yet, you can get 10x that amount collecting antiques lol...

Priorities!

I figured he was paying for just the delivery of the Chip. It's already his, the Chip's always been his, he's just paying for the service of having it delivered. You are a courier after all. But he's outright buying the snowglobes from you. Those are your property to do with as you please but Mr. House wants to pay for the snowglobes themselves.

technically you get more from the DLC globes. 6,000 caps from OWB, HH, and LR but dead moneys globe gives 2,000 Sierra Madre chips which can be traded for pre-war money which is worth like 5 caps minimum.

Unavoidable when one of your packages nukes a whole town. That got the ball rolling on Ulysses denying the Platinum Chip and you getting it.

Everything is ideological. Politics are not voluntary. The mail is an instrument for repression, or revolution.

@@Able542 then why do they make mail couriers wear humiliating shorts

Maybe to discourage them from feeling confident enough to revolt

​@@circleinforthecube5170 Those shorts are great. Try walking miles in them sometime.

I agree, it was kinda sad because i was expecting so much from the makers of one of the best rpgs ever​@@GilbertTheGilbertGuy

@@GilbertTheGilbertGuy why you so... just buzzkill personified

I've done that before on a playthrough where I chose to wear their armor as my outfit. I vaguely recall everything you said, so I'm pretty sure it's true, but it's been so long it's all hazy. Operation: Anchorage was one of my favorite DLCs from Fallout 3, a game which had a few interesting ones already as it was. I wish we got more DLCs centered around that kind of look at the past. Fallout 4 was primed for it, with the character even being an actual soldier in the war before the bombs fell, so they'd have a lot more to say and comment on if they had an Operation: Anchorage-like simulation experience. It's why people were so disappointed in the Memory Den. You can visit the Memory Den to go through your own memories, but you just wind up watching your spouse die again and not much else and it only happens, I believe, if you visit Goodneighbor before going to Diamond City and rescuing Nick. I don't know the precise requirements. Might google it so I can try it out again, even if it was disappointing.

I still love anchorage even if FNV is my favorite, I wish we got more WW3 or Old World content.

_Doesn't wanna do the main quest_ *_Accidentally skips half of it_* Well, you didn't do the main quest, I guess

In all fairness, House's dialogue is not very exciting. He basically orders you to do his bidding and refuses to elaborate or give any relevant information until AFTER you've past the point of no return in siding with him.

Bravo Vince

3 was better and 4 was light years better

@@StoneTheCr0w😂

​@@StoneTheCr0w See the first half is a legit opinion. The second half is sign of substance abuse.

​@@StoneTheCr0w I disagree, 3 had a convoluted and much more simplistic story, while also having less interesting factions and doing awkward things to the Fallout lore.

@@CantusTropus I give 3 credit for making the fallout universe accessible for more people, myself included. FNV was certainly a refinement on the formula though with a much better open ended series of options for the main quest. While I think FNV is better than 3 I can see why someone would like 3 more, it's not like it didn't have great quests and interactions.

The main storyline (especially a certain Securitron) tries very hard to persuade you into entering the Lucky 38 the moment you arrive to New Vegas, so not meeting Mr House for the first time there is indeed an atypical but certainly possible walk-through choice. I'm glad that the writers and developers realized that it could happen.

same haha

I'm pretty sure the screen shows something like "No Connection" when you run past after blowing up the bunker.

I went to the lucky 38 and they try kill u

The door is sealed until you talk to him, so you have to have this conversation. Afterwards, it's like Cencrd said: No Connection. Since you foiled his plans and he has no way of achieving the free vegas he wants, taking revenge on you is the SOLE purpose of his life now. So naturally, he doesn't want to talk to you: He wants to fill you with lead and lasers.

I think it might be a security thing, not sure though.

As he said in one of his other conversations, he thought he had more time. He had 20 hours less than he expected and has been playing catch-up since the bombs fell.

@@Lucifronz Ah years, 20 hours, clearly justified time for building a bunker and not carring that its accessable. That line was only towards his newest calculations on when the bombs will drop, he new it would happen for years, "it was inevitable" as he said himself. Still a oversight.

​​@@JanoschNr1almost as if it was planned that an hermetically sealed bunker would be not accessible from the outside. Cyber security 101

@@andrefasching1332 It SHOULD be accessible from the outside, though. If any integral systems are compromised or something NEEDS to be taken from WITHIN the vault to OUTSIDE of it, protocols SHOULD be in place to allow one to do so. For example, let's say we're talking about Vaults. In the event that the population of ONE vault is compromised, people from ANOTHER vault should have the means to open one besides their own, be it for rescue purposes, resupplying or simply reconnaissance or...whatever, really. So yes. STILL AN OVERSIGHT. Case in point: This video.

Well if you kill him first, caeser probably wouldn’t need you to destroy the place as the robots sent out Mr Houses obituary.

I’m on my first playthrough and this is what I got. They wanted me to dismiss my companion so I just ignored it thinking it would be some kinda endgame type thing.

It's not that deep. Nothing about this game is all that deep, certainly not plot-wise. It's cleaner in terms of loose ends being tied off, I'll give you that.

@@brichess8227 i totally didn't run through and blow everyone up and beeline it to vegas at level 9 just to check 👀 he goes "You Have?" it was funny. like he wasn't expecting it at all. i love they planned for that.

New vegas is by far the best fallout game for roleplaying

dudes had a whole pregnancy worth of time and still delivered a banger of a game

They had a massive backlog of time and worldbuilding to insert into the game tho

@@Khronogi exactly. Very little of this game was made from scratch.

Mr. House is a firm believer in the carrot & stick. Not unwilling to handsomely pay his loyal employees, but also not unwilling to threaten anyone standing against him.

His ego gets the better of him quite a lot. He forgets that other people have egos and when you need something, you probably shouldn't piss them off. It's why I've turned on him in many playthroughs.

At least he's honest. But like how I wouldn't piss my waiter, I wouldn't piss the dude who got something valuable that I want either.

⁠@@YukiXKohakuI mean you kinda threaten him in a way by implying you might blow up the Securitons in the storage facility.

People act like there's nothing of the sort in 4, and there are some issues (don't become enemies with a faction prematurely, oof... broke a playthrough that way once), but there's quite a few little hidden gems like this in 4.

​@@majorpwner2414 is honestly underrated. The writing and RPG elements have nothing on FNV or even the classic Fallouts, but it's far from a bad game. It's not indicative of the Fallout that people know, is the main thing...not a lot of choices or dialogue branches. But it's enjoyable to me at least, and the gameplay itself is just so much smoother. It feels easier for me to play it sometimes and just kill/loot/sell for a while than get into a new Fallout NV run.

One thing Ive noticed in Fallout 3, when you find your father and he asks you why you left the vault and searched for him, there is no dialogue option to tell him that the Overseer went crazy, killed your fathers friend Jonas, started hunting you down and was ready to torture his own daughter to get information about you

Well, Fallout 3's main goal was not to be a great game with elaborated trees of choices. It was simply to be there, a bridge towards 3D first person away from traditional isometric Fallout 1 and 2. And a blasphemy at that, as many people still think, though NV is quite a jewel.

@@tatianapreobrazhenskaya9777 Fallout 4 is even more shallow, though. I'd compare Bethesda's games to an amusement park ride. It's good for a thrill, even looks good and you'll have a fun experience. The problem is if you want anything resembling depth, you'll quickly find out how cardboard cutout it all is.

I enjoyed Fallout 3

​@mbii7667 There's nothing wrong with enjoying Bethesda Fallout. It's just that many people regard those games as being like theme park rides: fun in the moment, but forgettable as soon as they end. Their stories are OK as long as you don't think about them too hard, but they quickly unravel under scrutiny. Some of us just prefer the character and choice driven nature of Classic Fallout.

He is playing with a higher than normal Field of View so it gives the game an almost fishbowl looking effect which makes the gun look funny.

@@sunlight-sky151 I figured as much. I just thought the poo bit was funnier.

@@notinspectorgadget FOV 90 to be exact

@@PhilBraxton The view model FOV can be set separately from the camera FOV. Unless you like it when it looks goofy.

Heck, man, you can do the NCR route without even needing to confront Benny!

@@bowenorcutt78 There's so much I still need to experience in this game.

​@@bowenorcutt78 wait you can?

@@YataTheFifteenth Yep. Requires going into the Lucky 38, though. But I think you can just go in without talking to House.

Honestly, at launch the game was so unstable and very buggy. It's fantastic now, but the reviewers at launch experienced serious issues, and the lower scores of those ones are what brought down the average. Seems fair really.

@@lartrak I disliked the game prior to the DLCs. I had a 360 copy I sold to GameStop because I never intended to play it again. The whole map is a circle and felt smaller than Fallout 3's map somehow despite, I believe, being larger (the design is much more tight and with way more obstacles that make it feel less open so that you'll traverse it in a counter-clockwise fashion). In fact, without the DLCs, that dialogue about a courier you get in Prim is left dangling the whole time and it sticks in your head the whole game making you feel like you're missing something... and it makes it seem much more significant because you pretty much *have* to go through Prim on your first playthrough since you're following the set path to avoid being murdered by Cazadors and Deathclaws to the north. Every playthrough pretty much plays out the same way. In Fallout 3 or 4 you can just go wherever you want. The map design is excellent in that regard. In New Vegas, you either go south like the game wants you to and take forever to navigate it, or you can quicksave a bunch as you go north, dodging enemies that can wipe you out. That's pretty much it. North and South are your options, even once you get past those points, you still can't really go east and west because of the intentionally-designed barriers to force you on a long road trip. I still hate New Vegas's map to this day. And it's not like the DLCs are a whole lot better. I remember how frustrating the casino DLC felt because you've got this asshole taunting you in your ear the whole time and you deal with another ghoulish asshole who's looking to stab you in the back, and your best allies are a near-useless mute and a super mutant who wants to kill and eat you. It's interesting, but also really annoying because it forces you into Obsidian's narrative. At least in Fallout 4's DLC you can literally just shoot the fuckers getting on your nerves, even if there are consequences. Like Nuka-World. The minute you get through the gauntlet, you no longer have to put up with the raiders. Does the story kinda suck if you don't side with them? Yeah, it's designed around that, but at least you're given the freedom to do so. If not the freedom to decide who your character is from the start because they forced you into the husband/wife with a kid role. But I digress. New Vegas is pretty good, but it's mostly thanks to the DLC that builds it all up together. Fallout 3's story writing is shit, but it is entertaining throughout and that was more important to me back then. Plus I had the benefit of playing the GOTY version first, so it was more stable by then. New Vegas? Not so much. I was playing an unpatched offline copy of the base game on 360. All the bugs, none of the DLC. Worst possible way to play the game. Crash after fucking crash and so many issues along the way.

@@LucifronzI hate that was your new vegas experience. Fallout 3 and 4 felt extremely short to me and maybe because the map like you said was more traversable. Fallout 3 and 4 story writing is the same to me and even fallout tv show has the same plot 😂 Bethesda's writing just kills me. Fallout 3 and NV atmosphere was overmatched and I loved the RPG feel of NV. Maybe because it was my childhood and i'll forever be immersed to them games.

@@Lucifronz I think your criticisms are completely fair, I must say. Your issues didn't bother me as much, but they're perfectly valid and you explained them well. Well spoken sir.

>He doesn't know about the bethesda reviewbomb to prevent bonus payout to Obsidian

What if theres a power outage, he dies and a greedier person takes over? House is playing with death here so its likely

@@carlosemilio5180 well iam pretty sure he is clever enough to consider plenty of failsafes. Knowing house it won't be anywhere close to enough to just cut the power from the building.

He's the man with the plan, seriously his plan for a regionally localized super power focused on tech re-advancement and an eventual mars colony to get all the eggs out of one basket it the most realistic, AND no matter which point it fails at is a net boon to society. He dies in a year? An independent and politically stable New Vegas, yay. A decade, basic needs tech advances, yay. He falls short at only the moon, that's the avenue to global comms, yay. Yeah, police states suck, starving is worse. NCR? already failing due to overreach and political bloat Legion? Working right now in the expansion phase, but bad transition plan to a non war economy and the current leader wont live to do it himself and has no suitable successor who even wants to. If the Courier did it, instant civil war. Yes man? It ends with a AI rebellion cliffhanger

Sure you could... or you could throw General Lee Oliver off the Hoover Dam.

This is the only Fallout title I replayed more than once to get all the endings, and to do some optional challenges as well (such as hunting Legendary enemies) I didn't even bother to do in the other games of the series. I played Fallout 1, 2, 3 and 4, and while they all are good games, New Vegas has been the one who stood out for me the most too. Only Fallout 1 gets pretty close to me for being the first game, and also because the writing, the atmosphere and role playing possibilities were as excellent as NV.
