  • From the blood-stained sands of Cottonwood Cove to the lethal hellscape of Vegas, Fallout Dust is the answer to the question “What if the post-apocalypse had its own apocalypse?” Set 20 years after the events of Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout Dust sees the horrific desolation that’s come to the Mojave, as familiar faces, factions, and friends are either dead or have been turned into horrifying facsimiles of their former selves.
    This “Movie” is an edited-together video of my Fallout Dust Lore Series, edited to seamlessly transition from one episode to the next, giving you the best, uninterrupted, and definitive Fallout Dust Lore experience. This movie and subsequent series are meant to be a standalone series dedicated to covering the story of the Fallout: New Vegas mod DUST Survival Simulator as well as a tribute series hoping to pay homage to ShoddyCast's original Storyteller Lore Series.
    This project is entirely a fan-made creation and is not associated with Shoddycast or any of the original creators of their lore series.

      I mean.. even the 'good endings' still spell catastrophe for the rest of the Mojave.
      Doing an independent vegas run, either under House or Yes Man makes an enemy of the only major nation-state in the entire series. Your arm is twisted over and over, making it clear that this is the 'best' option for the people living in the region. However, it's told time and time again that the NCR presence in the Mojave is only a fraction of their forces. Once you gain their undivided attention, any foe of the NCR can simply be drowned in men and materiel. Just needs a good marketing spin and politicking to get the population angry, which they're quite skilled at. If the entire population of the NCR truly wanted Caesars Legion eradicated, it would be an easily achieved goal. Vegas is weaker than the Legion, but holds social and political sway. That's the only reason they were ever allowed to remain independent in the first place.
      Now I wanna cover the DLC endings.
      If Honest Hearts is completed morally, you end up with the Sorrows, Dead Horses, and any New Canaanite refugees being highly militarized and territorial to the north of the region. A militaristic tribe of people can cause endless struggles for any power structure. House cannot simply buy them off like the chairmen, nor can he truly wipe them out without great attrition. So the north is effectively hostile to expansion. Furthermore, the couriers inattention of the spore plants and human carriers of the contagion doomed the idyllic valley to ruin. The once-managable infection of zion was left to fester instead of being purged. The courier could come and go to the valley as they pleased, but simply chose to do nothing. It would have taken slightly more than the minimal effort spent collapsing the yao-guai cave, but nothing was done. Conflict was inevitable.
      If Old World Blues is completed morally, you leave both Mobius and the other scientists of the Think Tank alive. They make it clear that they'll continue to exercise their twisted ideas of science. From dialogue, they're clearly on the cusp of re-discovering the outside world that they were forced to forget by programming. It just takes a little more self reflection, and they'll be able to leave this place, just like in the 'worst' ending, which is actually a failure condition that requires a re-loading of a save. If you don't kill the scientists, they WILL get out and cause absolute havoc on their new petri-dish; the American southwest.
      If you complete Dead Money morally, everyone stays alive. Father Elijah is trapped in the vault and will die of dehydration in 3 days or so. Christine, Dean, and 'God' will survive to either haunt the casino or walk the wasteland. Failing to send securitrons or nuclear weaponry to this place almost guarantees that the precarious hazmat situation they have brewing would inevitably escape the complex. Even ignoring 'the cloud', the place has an active nuclear reactor supplying power. It will need maintenance and coolant or you have a small-scale chernobyl event happening. Combine that with the cloud, and it's borderline apocalyptic.
      Last but not least is The Lonesome Road. If you do this morally, either the Legion gets nuked, or none are fired. Either way, the courier is directly responsible for the destruction of Ashton and Hopeville. Therefore the courier is also directly responsible for the tunnelers and the dust storms. Nothing they do during this campaign rectifies anything they caused. The storms will spread and so will the tunnelers. This will always happen no matter what. Again, I say, failing to send securitrons or broken-arrow strikes with nuclear weapons shows a massive underestimation of the danger uncovered there.
      Through even the good endings of the game and DLCs, you easily create the conditions for 'Dust'. Any one of these threats could have stretched New Vegas' military capabilities to the breaking point. But one was not enough. The courier created or ignored severe threats and expanding badlands on every single border of the Mojave. Like House, they're a great arbiter of change, but I don't think they're good leadership material. Too goal-oriented to sit back and look at the big picture. Anyway, thanks for coming to my TED talk. 😅

    based off what I understand from the mod the courier got the darkest endings for each DLC specially Nuking at least the NCR in the Lonesome Road, Defending Zion and letting Joshua regress to his old ways in Honest Hearts, and Siding with Elijah in Dead Money, and since apparently no one could contact House after the second battle most likely Wild Card Ending

    One of the more disturbing bits about DUST is how the residents of North Vegas' sewers literally preyed on people's desperations by offering promises of food and shelter. When the survivors would go down into the sewers and away from the exit, they would find nothing but a horde of rabid cannibals waiting for them. The few that are able to get away from the initial onslaught make their way back to the entrance they came from, only to find that the ladder leading to freedom has quite literally been torn from its sockets out of the wall to prevent them from escaping. They must have had only a minute of facing this horrible reality before the cannibals broke down the door blocking them from their next meal

      To be fair, I think it would be better for factions to decline into different states, not just renamed enclave
      For example, it makes sense for the remains of a fascist USA (In fallout universe USA is basicly openly fascist) to turn into even more militaristic and fascist state
      And while a unstable republic like the NCR can turn into a fascist militaristic state, I think a more intresting option would be for them to turn into more soft power based autoritarian regime, where money and influence can get you anything you would want, and everything is kept toghether by a idea of status quoe, and not necesary military power
      Meanwhile for the Legion, it would make more sense if it turned into a war lord state, based on few clans and tribes that would constantly try to prove their worth by conquering land, and humiliating their internal rivals
      I think it is resonable that BOS would turn into a militaristic state of some sorts, but instead of it being a open dictatorship, it could be a regime simular to the starship trooper, where service in military gives you the option of actually taking part in the political structure
      I just think that factions should be able to turn into something different than enclave 2

    One part of the mod that I personally love was the author's attention to detail regarding the Lonesome Road DLC. If you spare and fight along side Ulysses, after the end of the main quest he delivers lines stating that both the storms and tunnelers of the Divide will destroy the Mojave Wasteland in the next twenty years.

    When I first got into Dust I had a weird relationship with it. It felt so very alien to me, you said it in an earlier video about Dust, that it like seeing something cartoonish from your childhood exposed to very adult themes. Nothing in this mod captures that like what happens to Joshua. I'll be dead honest, I'm a sucker for the character, and he immediately became my favorite when first played the game. Playing Dust and going through Zion, learning who the Wendigo was hit me hard. My biggest criticism of this mod is that you can't kill Joshua, to put him out of his misery.

      He's definitely my favourite character in F.N.V without a doubt. For a few different reasons. I'm not even religious though. It's not about his religion for me. Though I realise he draws on it, to cultivate his own wisdom,inner strength and path etc. I get that much. Though it's him , himself at end of the day. He's a living demi god. A god of war, tempered through hellish experiences. And a deeply spiritual, righteous man with a need for redemption. He's a guardian angel of his flocks of tribals. His tribals he seeks to protect and seek redemption through. I just don't think such an icon of a Fallout character and a warrior could be taken down by some sh#tty spores or toxic dust clouds as easy as it apparently happens .He's to smart and fast and determined to become an easy victim to such things. As cool as I think Dust is,for the most part. The fate of Joshua just does not sit right with me in this mod. I'm just glad its not officially canon. Joshua is the light in the darkness. A survivor and defender. He needs to stay a living legend in Fallout, and progress his story in it, far as I'm concerned.

      House's original goal was to turn the entire Mojave affair into "one man's misadventure", making scapegoats out of Oliver and Kimball. If NCR citizens believe their tax dollars were wasted on a vanity project, the sheer resentment would theoretically prevent an9ther invasion. Proof is present in one of Hanlon's endings, as he can use the anti-war sentiment to become a senator and vote against the more militant interests.
      That said, House also drafted a treaty dealing with the distribution of clean water and electricity, and that was likely a major factor in pacifying the NCR. This Independent!Courier likely did not think that far ahead. Even if he did, the sheer number of bad decisions needed to set up Dust probably leaves him little resources to make good on the treaty.

    Extremely well produced and narrated - although I have to wonder about the story of the mod itself. I never thought of the Cloud as a bio-weapon or something that could spread like an infectious strain. And why did the NCR go from neglectful and careless to outright genocidal? A lot of the stories seem to be about how people went mad and evil. I kind of don't buy the premises.

    • @unavela

      The narration jumps over some bits, NCR going oppressive went slower than they make it out to be, it escalated with time.
      Cannibals didn't pop up for any reason, the cloud, dust storms and tunnelers don't only threat humans, the storm covered the sun, killing the plants, the tunnelers killed most animals that were sources of food, people had nothing to eat so they started eating each other, the situation was falling down, NCR tried to hold their little fortress together, doing what they could, taking radical choices.
      People went cuckoo slowly as the world crumbled, just as the player might

As much as it’s still a good story, it doesn’t with Joshua Graham’s already established character, I mean yes, he falls down the same dark path in the ending that was chosen for DUST but I feel he would never betray or cast out Danial, despite he newfound military power he still is and extremely accepting character as long as you aren’t evil.

    In my headcannon, the courier worked with Yes Man, had neutral karma, nuked both Ceaser's Legion and NCR to weaken both before the Battle for Hoover Dam, helped Joshua execute Salt-Upon-Wounds, and obviously didn't kill Elijah.
    He likely wanted to turn New Vegas into a power house of Independents, by activing the Securation Army under the fort, and got all the factions to support the NCR more or less.
    Ultimately though the NCR got it their way, which only destroyed the courier's reputation, forcing him to to retreat from Vegas. In a way, Vegas was always their but always out of reach.
