It took me several times listening to the radio talk about "The Kings" before I started thinking "Wait, some of those are elvis songs. Oh no." Then i met them and it was amazing.
The Kings are one of the greatest factions in Fallout and a perfect demonstration of the franchise’s humor involving the post-Great War interpretations of pop culture due to the extreme passage of time.
It's just a shame they couldn't get any of his songs for the game, from what I understand they tried but it was going to cost them way too much money, but I suppose that's what mods are for 👀
Elvis was in the Army, as he was actually drafted. Since this was in the 50’s, he likely would’ve used an M1 Garand, meaning you could’ve used This Machine or the regular Battle Rifle
Some of Elvis' gun collection went up for sale a year or 2 ago and all of his revolvers were absolute works of art, covered in engravings and gold inlay. Evidently when he saw something on tv he didn't like he would shoot his tv set.
That's one of the reasons I made sure to mention I grabbed lucky and Maria because they seemed like the kind of guns Elvis would have owned if he could
@@tangocollective-entropysys6676 I don’t think I would I’m well aware of how quickly I grow bored of stuff and it causes me to not buy stuff now- not for lack of money (there’s no bragging about money here I’m an AoG licensed A&P mechanic the pay is pretty decent) but because I kinda get bored of the new item before I even buy it... You ever have that happen? Like you’re kinda excited about something and then as you’re in the process of getting it you’re suddenly just kinda like “meh”
The explanation behind The Kings feels like all of Fallout in a nutshell. It’s absurd, but a little plausible, and played straight but still comedic, and feels bizarre and entertaining but also tragic.
Also, like how cowboys are romanticized in NV and the prominence anti-communist sentiment of FO3, the Kings are a post-apocalyptic reconstruction of a piece of 1950's culture.
Funny story about Elvis, he told Alice Cooper to hold a gun to his head and see if he could deflect it. Alice Cooper legitimately wanted to pull the trigger but Elvis disarmed him.
Can you beat New Vegas as Gordon Ramsay? - Must craft one of every survival food item - Only able to use Flamer, Incinerator, or the Dinner Bell - Must do several quests themed around his shows: e.g. Beyond the Beef (Hotel Hell), Bleed Me Dry (Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted), Talent Pool (Hell's Kitchen), etc...
Pretty accurate but there is one aspect of Elvis’s personality you missed, his pathological generosity he would buy people drinks, food, whatever people were having when Elvis was there he was paying, his accountant had to plead with him to stop giving cars away 😂 Legend. If you ever try an Elvis redemption you should give away equipped items every time you make x amount of caps, if anyone asks you for caps you have to pay.
@@LegallyBlindGamer7926 i thought that about the impersonator but i kinda like the highlander thing, there can only be one king plus without console commands it’s impossible to get viva lasvegas without killing the king so bit of a catch 22.

One of my friend's dad served in the same unit in the military with Elvis. Apparently they got to keep their hair out long against regulations because it was only fair, since they didn't make him cut his hair because he was famous.
If you don't mind me asking, is your friend's dad still alive? I'm just curious because my grandpa met Elvis when he was in the military (I think my grandpa was serving a desk job at this time, so not a soldier in the same unit) and claimed he was a bit of a prick. I've always doubted he was telling the truth, so it'd be cool if your friend's dad could confirm or deny.
This was absolutely amazing but with Elvis being in new vegas and Lincoln in the capital wasteland thats means one thing. Can you beat fallout 4 as George Washington.
Now *this* is what needs to be done! Hancock as your companion, minuteman general play through, a wig, only weapons that suit the era (maybe with some mods), and also he must overthrow all oppressors and hold up every right in the bill of rights!
"Can you beat Fallout New Vegas as the Mysterious Stranger?" Using only the Mysterious Magnun, the Mysterious Stranger Outfit, The Mysterious Stranger Hat and only attacking on V.A.T.S., also having to get the Mysterious Stranger perk by the end of the run as well?
So when the special stats were being selected, I would've put some points into agility as he was "Elvis the Pelvis" and moved around an awful lot while on stage
Here's one for if you get a Bethesda Sponsorship: Can you beat Skyrim using only Creation Club items. #paytowin Spoiler alert: everything is overpowered, and I literally stopped using them because it made the game not fun.
As a big Elvis fan, having seen most of the movies and everything. I'd say there are quite a few changes you could make, like adding in drug addiction, and probably tuning the stats to be a mix of High Charisma and High Luck.
@timothyorellana4174 Between the hip swaying and the karate, you could probably justify maxing out agility. If I remember correctly, he was also known for encore performances, so high endurance would also be appropriate.
I feel like wild wasteland and chem resistance would have been decent perks to grab since elvis was known to do plenty of drugs. So he'd see crazy things as well as be resistant to the drugs.

Challenge idea: Can you beat Fallout new Vegas with weapons you knock out of people's hands? Punch it out of their hands, blow them up and let them drop it, so on so on. So long as as drop the weapon, you're free to grab it, and can loot the ammo for the weapon off their bodies. How you start could be the starting gear from Doc, or you could do it in fallout 3 and use the gifted BB Gun.
"Charisma gives a small boost to all of it's stats" It' also gives borderline 2x stats to any companion with you, unlike FO3, Charisma is pretty broken in NV
2:50 so far so good, though a thought did hit me. Albeit rare, there is "This Machine" and the Battle Rifle with the DLC (the M1 Garand), which would have been slowly being phased out, but it would have been reasonable for 1958 to 1960 Elvis to have been trained in the M1. There's no M14 in the game, so that would make the most sense.
I'm only 4 minutes in but it's already amazing and I absolutely love all the puns. Well done sir. And as before couple ideas 1 : Can you beat fallout 4 with only power armour mods 2 : Can you beat Fallout 3,nv or 4 as the mysterious stranger (Only Faded Trenchcoat and Battered Fedora.

@@Werewolf_Korra yeah. I think you do. But I don't think the lack of sleep kills you. I think it just adds a minor annoyance. But the eating and drinking means you're limited by time
If you're interested, the youtuber MATN has done #3 before - his 'dont starve' video on NV i think it is - so it's definitely doable but you're basically racing against thirst as that ticks up faster than hunger. I'd definitely be interested in seeing Nerbit attempt it too though, different style and approach and all. :D
Man with no name run (based on the Clint Eastwood movies) were you have to screw over as many factions as possible while helping individuals and dressing the part and using cowboy weapons

For traits you need Logan's Loophole: Elvis did develop quite a real-life chem habit and he died relatively young. And Wild Wasteland: because have you _seen_ Graceland?
Fun fact: Alice Cooper was once hanging out with Elvis and, wishing to demonstrate his karate skills, Elvis handed Cooper a loaded gun and told him to hold it to his head. Cooper did and he later said that he thought something along the lines of: “do it you’ll always be the guy who shot Elvis. Or just shoot him in the leg, you’ll only get a few years.” Before he did the gun flew out of his hand and Elvis said “and that’s how you stop a man with a gun.”

Hey, I know you might not read this, but in your cazador fight at 5:20 you should have shot for the wings because if you cripple them the cazadors just fall to the ground and are practically defenseless Edit: nvm I just got to 8:41 and you did do the tactic, so I guess I should keep this up for anyone else who does not know this
As someone who has fairly recently become a HUGE Elvis fan I must say this run has inspired me to hop back onto New Vegas and do my own run. At first I didn't agree with wiping out the Kings but I think that it does make some sense either way the Viva Las Vegas suit is a must have so the King is going down for sure.
Hey man, love your work. How about trying a run by being an Utter Bastard, and by that I mean finishing the run being Vilified by everyone but not just by being a Murder Hobo
@@fallongarens6734 I don’t see what’s surprising about that. Being a “murder hobo” in RPGs isn’t killing everyone you see, it’s just killing things when you see an opportunity/when someone pays you to do so. And *a lot* of people in New Vegas want somebody/something dead.
@@fallongarens6734 4 month old comment but, the good karma is probably because killing Powder Gangers and Fiends gives you good karma. Meaning that if you massacred Goodsprings and the Powder Gangs at NCRCF then you might technically have a net positive for example- so it might be that.
It's a small thing, but I don't think "That Gun" should have been an allowed weapon. It's model is a Blade Runner reference and so Elvis would have no reason to use it, having never seen Blade Runner due to dying well before it released
Here's a challenge idea: Can you beat Fallout new Vegas at level 50? ( I just want you to play a Fallout new Vegas save for ages now please make this :D)
@@Nerbit13098 can you complete Fallout New Vegas at level 50 while completing all DLCs and also having neutral or better relations with all factions and every companion? I honestly don't think so
Bad Batch Reference into Hilarious Shotgun Guitar Joke into Merciful Thug was such an incredible combo that it dealt immeasurable psychic damage to me.
Boone is such a great companion. I got the game recently and am using boone on my first playthrough. I will be wallking through the wasteland, see a red dot on my compass, then immediately cut to a slow motion shot of someones head exploding.
Great video as usual, but a quick issue. Instead of waiting for a hunting shotgun, why not get Dinner Bell, the unique hunting shotgun you get for helping Red Lucy at the Thorn?
@@george-o2514 using turbo, med x, and speed perks would help you get through them, but if you're willing to fight, getting sneak and an fully modded anti-mateiral rifle would make it easy, but getting those would be hard. There's a lot of methods to get the eggs, but I believe mines the best.
Ave, true to Nerbit, also I feel a run as father Elijah would be interesting, it would probably involve doing the brotherhood questline, driving the ncr out of Heloise one, doing old world blues then dead money, then finally ending the run with giving Veronica a dress and his holotape. I guess you could do the yes man ending since abusing pre war tech is what Elijah is all about so it would be fitting, you could also limit yourself to energy weapons but idk.
Elvis was a tank gunner in the army. He earned a marksman's medal with a carbine and achieved a sharpshooter level with a pistol. He served in a combat unit. When it was originally disclosed that he would likely be drafted in 1957, the Navy and Air Force made bids for his "services." According to a fan site, the Navy offered to create a specially trained "Elvis Presley Company" and the Air Force would have him tour their recruiting centers if he would enlist. Elvis turned them down because he didn't want special treatment.
i still say a surprise guest appearance of the enth apple as like a few second voice clip like some kind of narration over one of your actions could be absolute fire i miss that guy so much SogU
0:46 He was also in the US army as a Tanker IIRC. There's no tanks in FNV, but I'd qualify him for Power Armor, Missile launchers, and maybe the Grenade Machinegun.
I’ve got a really good idea for a challenge. Can you beat fallout New Vegas without missing a single shot. If you miss any shot, you need to load your last save and try again
I have a idea for a video idk if anyone else has suggested it but can you beat fallout 4 as the silver shroud For the challenge you will need all silver shroud items and do all unique silver shroud dialogue options and do all silver shroud missions including automatron DLC Edit: the silver shroud stood against crime and oppression so he would probably side with the railroad
Another quest you might like is the “Eye for Eye” quest since it’s objective is to take some items from the cove and then kill every legion solider in the cove it’s given by the sergeant at camp searchlight
So the fun thing about Shotgun Surgeon is that it applies no matter the ammo. Not much can stand up to armor piercing slugs. For the And Stay Back perk the effect triggers separately for each projectile. Load a sawn off with coin shot and you can bully just about anything to death.
Yesssssss finally
✌️🧠
Congrats
Does this mean you won’t be patrolling the Mojave anymore?

“Can You Beat Fallout 4 As Kevin Costner?”
-A Postman Uniform Is Your Only Armor
-Companions, if any, must also only wear A Postal Uniform.
-No Allying With Brotherhood Of Steel
-You Must Do The Dead Postman Random Encounter
-The Run Must Be Needlessly Long
Imagine being a vegetated man in a pod, being the most powerful in the Mojave, watching as a man in a greasy leather jacket with a pomadour fill you with lead from a revolver while saying 'Hail to the king, baby'
“With the power of friendship and 10mm bullets” is probably one of my favorite lines ever
"The power of friendship and 10 MM bullets", ironically enough, sounds like the title of an album.
Just in case you need a hunting shotgun for another run in the future, there is a guaranteed spawn of it in one of the farms north of Vegas. Horowitz farm if I recall correctly.
4:50 "with the power of friendship and 10mm bullets" nice
love these meme builds and have a idea that may or may not be fun to see Can You Beat Fallout as Joe Chill (the guy who killed Bruce Wayne's parents) or Dennis Carradine (the guy who killed uncle ben) a run where you kill any and all parental figures
"Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter."
Can you beat fallout new vegas as an enclave soldier?
Have to help gannon and the remnants
Have to have remnants power armor/telsa armor
massacre everyone and side with yes man
Could be fun, it's been a long time since I have completed Arcades quest line
I really enjoy the runs that give you access to good equipment. That makes the prospect of beating New Vegas as the Predator even more exciting.
The New Vegas I never knew I needed this much: The Sequel
This is the video that has me hit the subscribe button. Considering I search out your vids and watch them for great amusement, this broke me. I don't even play the Fallout games. Thank you for the great content.
Here’s an idea how many version of one game can you beat at one time
Ex: fallout NV PC Xbox PlayStation all at the same time
For traits you need Logan's Loophole: Elvis did develop quite a real-life chem habit and he died relatively young.
And Wild Wasteland: because have you _seen_ Graceland?
just the title and thumbnail filled me with immense joy
I hope the video can as well :)
Just have to say how much I appreciate the wordplay in this script to include songs and lyrics of Elvis.
yooo, how about Fallout 4 as James Bond?
you can get his signature weapon in that game, the Walther PPK
Like and reply to this comment so Nerbit can see
Always up for character build playthroughs
James Bond also drank a lot, so you should make him addicted to alcohol at all times
This is a copy
@@jonathanmike8007 Who cares? It's still a cool idea
Fun fact: Alice Cooper was once hanging out with Elvis and, wishing to demonstrate his karate skills, Elvis handed Cooper a loaded gun and told him to hold it to his head. Cooper did and he later said that he thought something along the lines of: “do it you’ll always be the guy who shot Elvis. Or just shoot him in the leg, you’ll only get a few years.” Before he did the gun flew out of his hand and Elvis said “and that’s how you stop a man with a gun.”
Next video should be "Can you beat Skyrim before Todd Howard catches you?"
I'm sure there is a way to mod him in👀👀
Ulysses: you carry the flag of the bull, or the bear.
Courier 6: baby I carry the flag of The King, Hu Ha Hu!
I want to see a challenge where you can only beat New Vegas as a tribal.
6:08 now that’s a rout with some chest hair
Heres a challenge:
Can you beat Fallout New Vegas as an Enclave Remnant
Can only use laser weapons
Must destroy the NCR
Side with House
Has to get Arcade Ganon and EDE
Can only use the Enclave Remant Armour
I was binge watching your older videos this morning and saw the comment that suggested this run, I'm really glad you did haha, great videos dude!
“With the power of friendship and kindness, and a shit ton of 10 millimeter holla’ point”
Changed some of the wording but it makes for a bad ass movie line.
The number of Elvis song titles you worked into this video is amazing. Well done.
Hey, I know you might not read this, but in your cazador fight at 5:20 you should have shot for the wings because if you cripple them the cazadors just fall to the ground and are practically defenseless
Edit: nvm I just got to 8:41 and you did do the tactic, so I guess I should keep this up for anyone else who does not know this
As someone who has fairly recently become a HUGE Elvis fan I must say this run has inspired me to hop back onto New Vegas and do my own run. At first I didn't agree with wiping out the Kings but I think that it does make some sense either way the Viva Las Vegas suit is a must have so the King is going down for sure.
Hey man, love your work. How about trying a run by being an Utter Bastard, and by that I mean finishing the run being Vilified by everyone but not just by being a Murder Hobo
Good idea
Wanna know what’s strange? I was a bit of a murder hobo in my runs.
Thing is, most people liked me and I had outrageously good karma. How!?
@@fallongarens6734 I don’t see what’s surprising about that. Being a “murder hobo” in RPGs isn’t killing everyone you see, it’s just killing things when you see an opportunity/when someone pays you to do so. And *a lot* of people in New Vegas want somebody/something dead.
@@fallongarens6734 4 month old comment but, the good karma is probably because killing Powder Gangers and Fiends gives you good karma. Meaning that if you massacred Goodsprings and the Powder Gangs at NCRCF then you might technically have a net positive for example- so it might be that.
It's a small thing, but I don't think "That Gun" should have been an allowed weapon. It's model is a Blade Runner reference and so Elvis would have no reason to use it, having never seen Blade Runner due to dying well before it released
Here's a challenge idea: Can you beat Fallout new Vegas at level 50?
( I just want you to play a Fallout new Vegas save for ages now please make this :D)
If I ever steam the new vegas for fun that will probably be the title of the stream lol
@@Nerbit13098 can you complete Fallout New Vegas at level 50 while completing all DLCs and also having neutral or better relations with all factions and every companion? I honestly don't think so
Bad Batch Reference into Hilarious Shotgun Guitar Joke into Merciful Thug was such an incredible combo that it dealt immeasurable psychic damage to me.
Keep up the great work
Thank you :)
I’ve been waiting for so long for this. Thank you Ner Bitt
if you're gonna beat the game as Elvis you have to do the voice throughout the entire commentary or else it doesn't count.
Boone is such a great companion. I got the game recently and am using boone on my first playthrough. I will be wallking through the wasteland, see a red dot on my compass, then immediately cut to a slow motion shot of someones head exploding.
Great video as usual, but a quick issue. Instead of waiting for a hunting shotgun, why not get Dinner Bell, the unique hunting shotgun you get for helping Red Lucy at the Thorn?
Because you have to kill a fucking alpha death claw at the end of the quest line
@@george-o2514 oh yeah.
Seducing Red Lucy would be totally in character
@@aurochtamer Truth
@@george-o2514 using turbo, med x, and speed perks would help you get through them, but if you're willing to fight, getting sneak and an fully modded anti-mateiral rifle would make it easy, but getting those would be hard. There's a lot of methods to get the eggs, but I believe mines the best.
A cazador saving you from two lakelurks was like, real-life plot armor.
I love that this was the most normal play through you ever had.
Also, is killing Caesar the only way to get the history points you need with Boone?
take down cottonwood cove. kill vulpes. save the powder gangers from the legion. save the hostages in nelson.
Ave, true to Nerbit, also I feel a run as father Elijah would be interesting, it would probably involve doing the brotherhood questline, driving the ncr out of Heloise one, doing old world blues then dead money, then finally ending the run with giving Veronica a dress and his holotape. I guess you could do the yes man ending since abusing pre war tech is what Elijah is all about so it would be fitting, you could also limit yourself to energy weapons but idk.
"Just because he has a lot of guns doesn't mean he's very good at using them" 90% of US gun owners: Defined here
Elvis was a tank gunner in the army. He earned a marksman's medal with a carbine and achieved a sharpshooter level with a pistol. He served in a combat unit. When it was originally disclosed that he would likely be drafted in 1957, the Navy and Air Force made bids for his "services." According to a fan site, the Navy offered to create a specially trained "Elvis Presley Company" and the Air Force would have him tour their recruiting centers if he would enlist. Elvis turned them down because he didn't want special treatment.
i still say a surprise guest appearance of the enth apple as like a few second voice clip like some kind of narration over one of your actions could be absolute fire
i miss that guy so much SogU
Awesome run. I feel like the ladies man perk would have fit on this run. Noticed when you talked to lady gibson.
Ah i always look forward to a new nerbit video, considering you upload rather frequently i always have a new challenge to watch while playing
0:46 He was also in the US army as a Tanker IIRC. There's no tanks in FNV, but I'd qualify him for Power Armor, Missile launchers, and maybe the Grenade Machinegun.
Let’s all show our appreciation to Nerbit, thank you, thank you very much!
Amazing video too. I LOVED the bit with Elvis' Shotgun
sometimes I think "hey I can do these FONV run videos" but then you say these absolute zingers I could never possibly think of
I’ve got a really good idea for a challenge. Can you beat fallout New Vegas without missing a single shot. If you miss any shot, you need to load your last save and try again
Omg yes! It’s finally here! I’ve been waiting a long time for this. 👌
When you remember that Elvis was actually in the army, the whole good soldiers thing makes more sense
I have a idea for a video idk if anyone else has suggested it but can you beat fallout 4 as the silver shroud
For the challenge you will need all silver shroud items and do all unique silver shroud dialogue options
and do all silver shroud missions including automatron DLC
Edit: the silver shroud stood against crime and oppression so he would probably side with the railroad
Another quest you might like is the “Eye for Eye” quest since it’s objective is to take some items from the cove and then kill every legion solider in the cove it’s given by the sergeant at camp searchlight
Hail the King! Cool video, man.
So the fun thing about Shotgun Surgeon is that it applies no matter the ammo. Not much can stand up to armor piercing slugs.
For the And Stay Back perk the effect triggers separately for each projectile. Load a sawn off with coin shot and you can bully just about anything to death.
I appreciate the amount of Elvis song references in your script
