@@80swhattheheck82 I think its going from story world transition, maybe from California (Fallout 1 and 2) To Nevada (Fallout New Vegas) And maybe Fallout 3 and 4 later. Thats just my guess :P
I didn't realise until about two years ago that "Confirmed Bachelor" was a euphemism for a gay man, so literally all of my runs of Fallout New Vegas were played as a gay cowboy. I accidentally made all of my characters from Ram Ranch.
If you look closely, you can see the back of the hood through the gaps in the skull. Guess cosmetic surgery has advanced by leaps and bounds even in the post apocalypse.
Caravan is fairly easy to understand when you know how. To elaborate on what Warlockracy said, it's like blackjack except you're both making 3 sets instead of 1 and instead of seeing who gets the highest when closest to 21, the objective is purely to get a number between the range of 21-26. Also, you can put your cards in your opponent's set instead of your own in order to make them bust. What's different is the royal cards because they have a function instead of just acting as a substitute for 10 >Jack takes a card off the field, good for when you're trying to fuck up your opponent's combo or remove a card he inserted in your sets >Queen is garbage, never use them. What Queen does is flip the value of the card you attach it to and this NEVER is worth talking up a deck slot. >King doubles the value of the card you attach it to So I just load my deck with 6s, 8s, 9s, 10s, Kings, and Jacks. Apply a King to a 10 and then throw down a 6 and it's an automatic 26. Apply a King to a 6 and throw down a 10 and it's an automatic 22. Either way it's a winning hand. The 8s and 9s are there in case I'm not drawing any Kings. Jacks are there to fuck up my opponent or if he tries to fuck up me. There, you know how to play Caravan now and you will beat any opponents that aren't in the Caravan Tournament mod.
I've been to New Vegas's starting location, and I met some of the people that the characters were based on. Doc Mitchell is based on a local dentist, Easy Pete is based on an elderly former miner that now does odd jobs around town, and Trudy is based on the former owner of the Pioneer Saloon, the actual saloon the prospector saloon is based on, just to name a few. Oh, and if you ever get the chance to go there, order their pulled pork sandwich, it's best I've ever eaten.
@@LAHFaust It's always incredibly crowded on anniversary day. I went with my dad this last spring, when there weren't too many people there.

True. That bloodstain on the knife is awesome. Gives it that used and terrifying appearance. Imagine seeing a random person walking besides you with a bloodstained combat knife bet that would be at least uneasy to see even for a raider.
Probably would be worse overall. Obsidian is blessed to make games people love, but only when they're on a tight deadline like New Vegas or KOTOR2. Seems to focus them on what's important. Restrictions breed creativity. Give someone that blank check to do whatever with however much time and you get some of the rambling, bad products in history from the Studebaker to Duke Nukem Forever.
@@sanchovy actually this is the fallout with the least speech checks, since they use all other skills, I remember a luck check, you are confusing with Fallout 4
I too think it would've been worse, I tried some of the games Obsidian made after NV and they all felt too, erh ¿different? Don't get me wrong, I really liked Tyranny or even Outer Worlds, but they lacked a lot of what made NV a great game. I'll imagine that with enough time and resources they could've made a new Fallout with Pillars of Destiny's engine, but I don't think it would feel the same or get along with the rest of the series (kinda like how Van Buren was turning out?), even with the whole Interplay crew back together.
It took me a few hours as a teenager to realize Fallout New Vegas was a yee-haw atomic cowboy adventure, plus a few more years later on a replay to really appreciate it as a whole. Looking forward to a series of my favorite Russian living in something-stan boomer rpg enjoyer has to say about it.
@@cyberninjazero5659 There's a game called ExeKiller that might scratch your itch. I think there's a decent amount of post-apocalyptic western comic books, maybe movies and books, but I guess you're right, not too many games.
20:02 "The women of New Vegas ask me a lot if there's a Mrs. New Vegas. Of course there is. You're her. And you're still as perfect as the day we met." Goddamn, I don't think our AI has advanced to that level of smooth-talkin'.
that death claw in the billboard reminded me of the time I was hanging out in goodsprings and a young deathclaw came running down the hill from the cemetary. one of the strangest things I've ever seen in a game period.
Whoa, freaky - I had never heard of Blood Meridian until just a couple weeks ago and suddenly it seems to be floating in the aether all over. Anyway, great video as always!
From my understanding the TH-camr Wendigoon made a several hour summary and analysis of the book a while back, which went trending which massively shot up Blood Meridian’s sales.
Cormac Mc Carthy recently bit the dust, its led to a renewed interest in his work. He also wrote No Country For Old Men which is another all time American Western classic
Of all the games that I've played over the years, it was New Vegas that made me really appreciate what can be done with an interactive medium. It is genuinely brilliant despite it's myriad flaws, there will probably never be another game like it. I was just fixing up my mod list when this was uploaded, happy to see it but in my opinion the only way to really "understand" the game is to experience it for yourself.
17:15 - there is actually a disguise mechanic in both Fallout 1 and 2. In 1, wearing the Children of the Cathedral robes and having no companions with you will let you walk around Unity bases safely, and Unity-aligned NPCs will treat you as if you are one of their own. In Fallout 2, Advanced Power armor does the same thing for the Enclave. New Vegas merely expanded it into the faction system.
@@The-jy3yq the Enclave in 2 is so hilariously easy to infiltrate that it barely makes a difference whether you show up in T-51b armor or any other gear, other than to be rewarded with different dialogue
@@WorldGoods Yeah honestly I feel like its so popular with boomers and millennials with rose tinted glasses who have had the benefit of mods and zoomers that weren't around to remember just how god awful this game was at launch, I bought it the day it came out on console (i only got a PC recently just to mod this game as its not my favourite, but the day i started it, it was so broken I actually took it back later that day, it used to crash when leaving goodsprings, when you went to another cell, when talking, when buying items, when aiming down sights etc etc. I only played it fully when the complete edition disk came out in like 2016, with mods it goes on forever and is amazing but I just feel like it gets misremembered because games nowadays are 90% garbage that comes not even fully complete, plus its seen as cool to like old things I guess... I'm gonna get a newer PC to play fallout london as that looks like it could be the best 3D one so far, a side note is that fallout 1 and 2 get touted as the best games ever but I'm willing to be most people havent actually played them, which is fine, not everyone can handle just how janky they feel compared to now, I still love them, especially the total conversion mods Warlock brings up in his other vids.
@@zakbrown9256I'm a zoomer who got it on launch. Played it a bit after it got some patches and thought it was cool, but not as good as FO3. 10+ years later and I got back into it with mods and it's amazing
Shout out to Alex who made the intro. Greatly made. What a great coincidence that I finished my umpteenth run of FNV a few days ago and now get to see this in my feed. Likely my favorite game of all time. Awesome seeing how variable the beginning of the game can be. Quests you do now are some that I don't even attempt until deep mid game. I hope you get around to the dlc.
@@jugularwhalegaming4499 Good luck lol. It's definitely not from New Vegas. But you can find that style of music by looking for New Orleans jazz music.
Just run TTW without guaranteed wild wasteland for Mothership Zeta, stable with the TTW modpack floating around. You get alien weapons, plenty of ammo for them, and the gauss.
@ravensflockmate There's a glitch that allows you to hotkey ammunition if you have multiple types of it. There's guides on how to do it here, but all you gotta do is hotkey your most abundant ammunition and equip it with the blaster equipped and you'll have a steady ammunition supply for the rest of the game. You can also hotkey rockets and equip them to the laser detonator for lots of fun, ymfah has a cool video on it
You touch on two of the most subtle points of writing in the game in this video, both of which got a little botched by the condensed development timeline. There are five key details about Caesar’s society that are meant to shock and horrify the player into immediately identifying the Legion as evil: The crucifixions, the slavery, the total subservience of women, the fact that they booby trap dead bodies (some of this content was patched out because it was buggy, it was more prominent on release), and the way they massacre tribes and mould their children into Legionnaires. The arc of the game’s story is encountering this conflict between the “good” NCR and “evil” Legion, and gradually peeling back the layers, finding out that neither faction is what it seems. This is expertly done by revealing the noble NCR are, in fact, similar to Caesar’s Legion in many ways, guilty of similar crimes. Where women have no rights in Caesar’s Legion, it’s implied that the NCR tolerates homophobia in the Mojave (Major Knight’s dialogue - much of this thread seems to have been cut from the final game). Where Caesar crucifies, the NCR beheads (3 Card Bounty) and massacres (Goodsprings, NCRCF in I Fought The Law) to instill terror. While the Legion traps bodies with explosives, the NCR blew up ALL OF BOULDER CITY as a trap for the legion. And then you have Bitter Root. Bitter Root isn’t just an interesting character - he’s the foil to Lucius, the head of Caesar’s Praetorian guard. If you talk to Lucius about his past, he tells you when he was a boy, his tribe was conquered, the women were all enslaved, the men were mostly killed, and boys and young men like him were inducted as legionnaires. Over time, he earned glory in combat, until he became a trusted confidant of Caesar himself. He feels nothing but grateful for the murder of his tribe, says it made him strong and set him free from the animalistic ways of his people. Lucius is a shocking character - and Bitter Root’s story is nearly identical, only Bitter Root is NCR. And then there’s the Powder Gangers! Tragically neglected due to time constraints. The Powder gangers are meant to be the foil to Caesar’s practice of slavery. While Caesar’s Legion are literal slavers, the NCR uses penal gang labor to rebuild the railroads. While folks like Joe Cobb and Eddie and Dawes, as well as the Primm thugs, are meant to show you that NCRCF was home to some rough characters, all the other Powder Gangers are much more sympathetic - petty drug dealers and smugglers (Hannigan), sheriffs who took the law into their own hands (Meyers), and dudes who were in the wrong place at the wrong time (Carter). The Nipton crowd is portrayed as corrupt but less than evil (excepting the mayor), and the folks trying to rob the Vikki and Vance are just desperate draft dodgers who know the punishment for desertion. If you ask these guys why they still run with the Powder Gangers, they’ll tell you the NCR isn’t going to welcome them back and it’s safer for them inside NCRCF than it is outside it. These are the NCR’s equivalent of slaves, and for their Attica moment, they are met with a harsher punishment than Attica - a death sentence, conferred with only one exception (Meyers). Vault 19 is a referendum on this NCR practice of penal labor, with a fun Vault-Tec twist of a paranoia inducing layout. Samuel Cooke, you learn, isn’t a criminal at all - he’s a revolutionary who views the NCR as an imperialist war machine (which, yes, it is). In a way, he’s lookingto remake himself as an NCR Spartacus, forming a unified resistance to tyranny through an alliance with the Great Khans. The player can choose to side with him, acknowledging the righteousness of his cause, or work with Lem to negotiate a surrender, deciding whether or not they agree NCR’s vision of crime and punishment, of order and authority. Or, of course, you can always dispense your own NCR justice - Bitter Springs style. It’s all so good! But unfortunately it’s easy to miss because, well, the Powder Gangers kind of suck and are split into two factions (“Powder Gangers” and Vault 19), both of which has barely any content at all. And Bitter Root - there’s just no reason to talk to him other than curiosity. Great little writing subtleties, easily missed. The story of New Vegas is just so good - you peel back the layers to learn the conflict between good and evil isn’t as clean as you think at first (although the Legion is still MUCH worse than the NCR), all while marching towards the symbol of a beyond-good-and-evil Randian ubermensch in Mr. House, who exercises many of the same tools of control himself. The details of how the NCR is in some ways like the Legion are fed to you as a drip, almost perfectly paced. If only it had been a little more fleshed out!
To me this comment serves as an important critical thinking test about the spin and narratives people can place on certain actions. I dont know if i would place tolerating homophobia on the same level as total subjugation of women. Wartime tactics are debate able so ill leave that alone. Taking prisoners at their word of why they are there (while ignoring that criminals often downplay and justify their crimes) is not smart. Cooke is by definition a terrorist. Blowing up supply convoys to achieve political goals is not cool or based and cookes alliance with the khans (who represent the endgame of imperialism , forcing their will upon others by forcefully taking from traders and caravans) speaks to the integrity of his morals
@@globalelite3042 Thank you. I fucking had to do a spit take and reread the sentence when he compared total subjugation of a sex to TOLERATING homophobia (not even enforcing it!).
@@globalelite3042 additionally they just completely misinterpret Bitter Root, Bitter Root is a huge foil, but not to Lucius, but to every Khan you meet who (justifiably) hates the NCR for Bitter Springs. Bitter Root exists to provide the perspective that the Khans were, at the end of the day, far from innocent, (his dad teaching him to shoot at civilian caravans, mom trying to sell son into slavery, literal beatdowns to earn the privilege of a name). while this doesn't make the player approve of bitter springs seeing him so angry about growing up with the Khans is really interesting
I just love the way u structure these videos, they feel like a condensed playthrough with dry humor. There should be more 'narrative review' type channels.
Really liked New Vegas. Was fairly lucky regarding bugs on release. Except by the end. Climbed a rock and fell trough it, couldnt get out. Luckily i hade a older save file. Will never forget how you keep hearing the same voice actor constantly in this game. Yuri Lowenthal must have had a field day.
Truth is, the chance was rigged from the start. Replaying the game again, this time on very hard, hardcore and Vicious Wastes, so I'm glad you're covering one of my favorite games of all time. Godspeed funny Russian man.

read blood meridian for the first time recently and quickly became obsessed with it, one of the best pieces of literature ive ever read. so excited for this series, warlockracy.
I subbed for the Deus Ex hilarity a while back, one of my favourite gaming experiences, and now we've made it to New Vegas which is yet another. I've laughed out loud several times already. Keep it up dude, you're always entertaining and funny as hell.
Wow, I've played New Vegas so many times and only just now realized the robots don't actually take your 2000 caps. They are just making sure you're not some bum with like 2 caps and a beer bottle that won't make the Strip any money. I guess I'm just so used to games going "You need 2000 (moneys) to get in" and having that mean they'll take it from you. Also Warlock, and I mean this as a compliment, your voice puts me right to sleep. I have a computer set up to my TV in my living room and if I'm watching one of your videos I fall asleep on the couch. Your soothing tones talking to me about Morrowind quest design and environmental details is like a lullaby. Great video as always!
There's also a few ways into Vegas besides the credit check. My fave was learning that you could grab Boone and pass through the monorail. It's a magical moment.
Had to subscribe after you quoted the Judge. That is probably my favorite line in all of literature and its different forms. "Whatever in creation exists without my knowledge, exists without my consent."
I was practically married to this game at one point. On my first playthrough, I didn't want to kill Benny. He was a weasel, but was so likable. I would've let him go if I could. Even when I was using console commands and had no need to grind for xp or cash, I still did every quest, because the game made me care. After that, I started going through the whole obsidian catalogue, stopped playing shooters altogether and got into isometric crpgs, found your arcanum video, and finally ended up using your character save in baldurs gate 😁
Absolutely love how this vid went off the beaten path. Goes to show how you can have a memorable and narratively rich experience no matter what you do in this game.
12:50 Jocker removes any OTHER cards similiar to the attached one . For example you are attach it to your or opponent's 7. Every other 7 will be removed from the table.
Actually the only channel I eagerly anticipate videos from, since trying to cut down on social media. This isn't "content", feels more like a hangout. Thanks Warlock, this is a niche (and a space in my heart) you filled perfectly.
ALWAYS take the Wild Wasteland Trait. Also this is one of my all time fsvourite games. I loved Dead Money DLC a little too much and i also loved Old World Blues. Just chefs kiss.
I still love the voice cast in this game. Like Fallout 1 and 2, they got some really good TV actors to voice a lot of the major characters. Chandler from Friends voices Benny, Odo from DS9 voices Mr. House, Felicia Day voices someone else, and I forget some of the other TV actors. And then Wayne Newton, irl Vegas personality, voices Mr. New Vegas.
The Powder Gangers was one of my favorite factions. They have a lot of content if you explore the whole map. If New Vegas gets remastered I hope they're turned into a real faction
It's hard to remain neutral with the powder gangers while also keeping the folk of Goodsprings alive. But not impossible 😏 And you can attack the powder gangers during the fight. But you need to do sneak attacks and probably use some save scumming.
I did not know you could stealth boy past the death-claws. When I tried to stealth boy past them a unique, blind death-claw would just start running at me and kill me before I could get to Fiend territory.
Fallout New Vegas is like meeting a girl you are trying to romance. You think you know how her very well but then she tells you something you’ve never knew about her, interesting details that makes her more attractive. Love this video and how I learn new quest and things I could do in the game.
I think this is your best yet. The production and pacing of your explanations, your use of quotes and aphorisms and Mr New Vegas's interjections were brilliant. Bloody well done, mate!
Every single time I watch a lengthy video essay on the best game ever made I hope to learn something new or see something I have never done in game. Didnt happened. I swear I played this game way to much. With and without the Sawyer mod.
I always took Malcolm's warning about people killing you on suspicion of having star bottle caps literally, and i always killed him for his. In retrospect, I was probably a chaotic evil player. I regret these action and similar actions, but I wanted to collect every unique thing I could. I wonder if my adhd played a role in this mindset. It later drove me nuts trying to get that m1 garand in the monorail station. I was almost convinced the quest was bugged, or it didn't exist.
I've said it once and I'll said it again: In my experience, regardless whether, as a nerd, you get bullied or not, you're bound to spiral out of control upon reaching adulthood either way. The difference is that the bullied, like me, come to embrace despair while the unbullied, like maybe Todd, gets their hopes too high up. So it's practically a lose-lose situation.
Wonderful video. It's very interesting how everyone always seems to play this game differently, whether it be slight differences or just skipping entire main quests for the hell of it. Good video.
In Caravan, Queens will reverse the ascending or descending direction of cards in a caravan, so if you play it on a 2 covering a 3, you can then put a 3-10 on the 2, when before the Queen you could only play an Ace. Jokers will remove all cards of the same suit from the board, except the one it's played on. If your opponent has all spades and you have one, play a joker on yours and he loses everything. It can be a nuke. A fun way to win is to force your opponent to have a full caravan, if you have the other two already, because a hand doesn't end until all 3 columns have 1 caravan ready to go (and un-tied). So if you got 21, 10 and 25 and your opponent has 2, 16 and 8, you can put a king on one of his 8s in the middle, all 3 columns become ready, and you win 2-1. There's a lot of strategy to Caravan, and the old guy in Primm is a nasty fighter. There are also certain metas that absolutely break the game, like just 7s, 8s and kings when building your deck.
Oh god the ending reminded me of the modder Giskard, who never forgave the green arrows in Oblivion and how they trained people. Decades later he made a mod for skyrim where the quest giver tells you to ignore the white arrow, and if you don't all of the mod's features lock
I realize this is an old video now but if you make a second part then the R in sarsparilla is silent pronounced more like sassparilla, but ill admit hearing you put the emphasis on the R made me laugh a few times. Keep up the great work these videos are fantastic!
man it feels like ive been waiting on this vid from you for a while. i love what you did with the inclusion of the mr new vegas script and caravan cards. i was elated to notice that the vid was nearing its end and that you barely scratched the surface of the game, insuring at least a new vegas part 2 video from you. phenomenal work as always, thank you so much for all you do!
This is the first time I've gotten to see one of your videos about a game I've played to death and get to see each part not as an introduction to something new but a reminder of something fondly cherished. It's an interesting experience.
Actually, in my experience, regardless whether, as a nerd, you get bullied or not, you're bound to spiral out of control upon reaching adulthood either way. The difference is that the bullied, like me, come to embrace despair while the unbullied, like maybe Todd, gets their hopes too high up.
I played this game for hundreds of hours back in the day. I love your cinematic work and editing on this. Keep it up! I stumbled upon your channel and binged all of it because Fallout 2 was my all time favourite game growing up. Keep up the great work, Im looking forward to this series!!
Funny, in my last New Vegas run, I decided to go straight to New Vegas for a change. I ended up being extremely rogue and wiping out the casinos with the fancy plasma rifle in the REPCONN HQ and a nice set of black combat armor. I didn't intend for it to be an extermination run.
I've never read Blood Meridian (maybe I should) but every quote from it is the hardest thing I've ever heard. This series is definitely a great way to do the 100-hour-game video essay format. A mixture of the game's plot, your character build and choices, and the occasional tangent about the hubris of mankind and our attempts to control the world make for a unique watch.
I don't know how well the FNV DLCs would work with your video format but are you interested in covering them as well? Old World Blues would be a fun watch
No one will probably read this, but if you wear certain faction armor, your reputation with other factions, will be changed, for as long, as you're wearing the armor. For example, I recently did a Legion playthrough and I was idolized with them, but as soon, as I put on my NCR disguise, my reputation with the Legion would change to neutral, in my Pip-Boy. When I took it off, I was idolized again. That could be the problem here because I am usually "liked" by the Powder Gangers after completing their Quest chain
In Vanilla New Vegas, I found that maybe 2 hours of sleep/day was sufficient to avoid sleep deprivation. If you consider that a regular sleep cycle, I’m worried for your health
Best playthrough is a genie run. I will do whatever you ask of me. However, you should take care to be as specific as possible, because here, in New Vegas, your wish is MY command. Ensure character skin is Disney blue or Osiris green. "Howdy pardner, I am 'I am'. How may i be of service to you today?"
The NPC's descending into the ground is a bug with the "WAR Mix" mod which I see you have installed. The latest version of the mod seems to have fixed it though.
Please play New Vegas Dust. It's incredible. Imagine if New Vegas was invaded by the worst things from the DLCs and add a few decades. The environmental storytelling is the best in any RPG
I think I love these videos because I've played these games to death, and it's nice to just watch a curated playthrough which requires zero effort on my part

Caravan is fairly easy to understand when you know how. To elaborate on what Warlockracy said, it's like blackjack except you're both making 3 sets instead of 1 and instead of seeing who gets the highest when closest to 21, the objective is purely to get a number between the range of 21-26. Also, you can put your cards in your opponent's set instead of your own in order to make them bust.
What's different is the royal cards because they have a function instead of just acting as a substitute for 10
>Jack takes a card off the field, good for when you're trying to fuck up your opponent's combo or remove a card he inserted in your sets
>Queen is garbage, never use them. What Queen does is flip the value of the card you attach it to and this NEVER is worth talking up a deck slot.
>King doubles the value of the card you attach it to
So I just load my deck with 6s, 8s, 9s, 10s, Kings, and Jacks. Apply a King to a 10 and then throw down a 6 and it's an automatic 26. Apply a King to a 6 and throw down a 10 and it's an automatic 22. Either way it's a winning hand. The 8s and 9s are there in case I'm not drawing any Kings. Jacks are there to fuck up my opponent or if he tries to fuck up me.
There, you know how to play Caravan now and you will beat any opponents that aren't in the Caravan Tournament mod.
When I finally started to bother learning Caravan, I found it to be a lot of fun. I love gambling now.
In the game that is. 🗿
I remember it actually understanding by the second playthrough but months later I forgot again and never relearned lol
Once upon a time I was actually good at caravan. It amazes me that I've completely forgotten how to play it XD.

I've been to New Vegas's starting location, and I met some of the people that the characters were based on.

True. That bloodstain on the knife is awesome. Gives it that used and terrifying appearance. Imagine seeing a random person walking besides you with a bloodstained combat knife bet that would be at least uneasy to see even for a raider.
As cool and memorable as New Vegas was, I can’t help but wonder what it would be if the devs had more time to go about building the game world
Same. Nice grand by the way. :D
Probably would be worse overall. Obsidian is blessed to make games people love, but only when they're on a tight deadline like New Vegas or KOTOR2. Seems to focus them on what's important. Restrictions breed creativity. Give someone that blank check to do whatever with however much time and you get some of the rambling, bad products in history from the Studebaker to Duke Nukem Forever.
Could have been worse. Could have been better. Glad we got good stuff anyhow.
@@sanchovy actually this is the fallout with the least speech checks, since they use all other skills, I remember a luck check, you are confusing with Fallout 4
I too think it would've been worse, I tried some of the games Obsidian made after NV and they all felt too, erh ¿different?
Don't get me wrong, I really liked Tyranny or even Outer Worlds, but they lacked a lot of what made NV a great game.
I'll imagine that with enough time and resources they could've made a new Fallout with Pillars of Destiny's engine, but I don't think it would feel the same or get along with the rest of the series (kinda like how Van Buren was turning out?), even with the whole Interplay crew back together.
Hell yeah, Blood Meridian quotes over fallout is the sickest shit. Literal goosebumps.
It took me a few hours as a teenager to realize Fallout New Vegas was a yee-haw atomic cowboy adventure, plus a few more years later on a replay to really appreciate it as a whole. Looking forward to a series of my favorite Russian living in something-stan boomer rpg enjoyer has to say about it.
Post Apocalyptic Western is such a cool genre I wish there were more games in it
@@cyberninjazero5659 There's a game called ExeKiller that might scratch your itch. I think there's a decent amount of post-apocalyptic western comic books, maybe movies and books, but I guess you're right, not too many games.

20:02 "The women of New Vegas ask me a lot if there's a Mrs. New Vegas. Of course there is. You're her. And you're still as perfect as the day we met."
Goddamn, I don't think our AI has advanced to that level of smooth-talkin'.
that death claw in the billboard reminded me of the time I was hanging out in goodsprings and a young deathclaw came running down the hill from the cemetary. one of the strangest things I've ever seen in a game period.
Was it a random spawn? A bug? A quirk of the Wild Wasteland perk? Who knows, and who cares; frankly, it's all part of the magic~
That happened to me the first time I was showing my friend FONV, he died and quit the game never to play again. Pussy.
Whoa, freaky - I had never heard of Blood Meridian until just a couple weeks ago and suddenly it seems to be floating in the aether all over. Anyway, great video as always!
From my understanding the TH-camr Wendigoon made a several hour summary and analysis of the book a while back, which went trending which massively shot up Blood Meridian’s sales.
Cormac Mc Carthy recently bit the dust, its led to a renewed interest in his work. He also wrote No Country For Old Men which is another all time American Western classic
@@InquisitorThomasGood video. Made me wanna read the book. Don’t have the time to commit to it though.
blood meridian is probably the greatest american novel
@@libenhagos9335highly debatable
Of all the games that I've played over the years, it was New Vegas that made me really appreciate what can be done with an interactive medium. It is genuinely brilliant despite it's myriad flaws, there will probably never be another game like it. I was just fixing up my mod list when this was uploaded, happy to see it but in my opinion the only way to really "understand" the game is to experience it for yourself.
Side note, one day I'm going to get my hands on a deck of those pre order cards, they're the perfect compliment for the game.
I do love that you made comparisons with Blood Meridian.
Similar themes in both that book and this game.
Go into the Honest heart DLC while roleplaying as an paid eradicator of its "tribals" (and their allies).
@@Stahlvanten After all, Blood Meridian's theme was that colonial violence and the evil of men is really cool
@@coolguyjkii guess if you wanted to do that you'd need sneering imperialist
17:15 - there is actually a disguise mechanic in both Fallout 1 and 2. In 1, wearing the Children of the Cathedral robes and having no companions with you will let you walk around Unity bases safely, and Unity-aligned NPCs will treat you as if you are one of their own. In Fallout 2, Advanced Power armor does the same thing for the Enclave. New Vegas merely expanded it into the faction system.
The T-51b also acts as a disguise for the Enclave
@@The-jy3yq the Enclave in 2 is so hilariously easy to infiltrate that it barely makes a difference whether you show up in T-51b armor or any other gear, other than to be rewarded with different dialogue
New Vegas, the last video game ever made
Last, best, only.
Yeh crashed all the other games after being installed
@@WorldGoods Yeah honestly I feel like its so popular with boomers and millennials with rose tinted glasses who have had the benefit of mods and zoomers that weren't around to remember just how god awful this game was at launch, I bought it the day it came out on console (i only got a PC recently just to mod this game as its not my favourite, but the day i started it, it was so broken I actually took it back later that day, it used to crash when leaving goodsprings, when you went to another cell, when talking, when buying items, when aiming down sights etc etc.
I only played it fully when the complete edition disk came out in like 2016, with mods it goes on forever and is amazing but I just feel like it gets misremembered because games nowadays are 90% garbage that comes not even fully complete, plus its seen as cool to like old things I guess...
I'm gonna get a newer PC to play fallout london as that looks like it could be the best 3D one so far, a side note is that fallout 1 and 2 get touted as the best games ever but I'm willing to be most people havent actually played them, which is fine, not everyone can handle just how janky they feel compared to now, I still love them, especially the total conversion mods Warlock brings up in his other vids.
@@zakbrown9256I'm a zoomer who got it on launch. Played it a bit after it got some patches and thought it was cool, but not as good as FO3.
10+ years later and I got back into it with mods and it's amazing
please please PLEASE continue this series, sir.
Shout out to Alex who made the intro. Greatly made.
What a great coincidence that I finished my umpteenth run of FNV a few days ago and now get to see this in my feed. Likely my favorite game of all time. Awesome seeing how variable the beginning of the game can be. Quests you do now are some that I don't even attempt until deep mid game. I hope you get around to the dlc.
Who is Alex? I'm trying to find out what song plays in the intro.
Dang. I'm looking for the song in the into too. Ha ha. Looks like nobody found it yet.
@@jugularwhalegaming4499 Good luck lol. It's definitely not from New Vegas. But you can find that style of music by looking for New Orleans jazz music.
@@jugularwhalegaming4499the song is ‘Jubilee Stomp - Tuba Skinny’
@@luca.4856 you're hardcore.
5:00 Wild Wasteland is actually also a trade off in terms of the equipment you can get.
The Alien event replaces the unique Gauss Rifle event.
the alien blaster is stronger anyway just be conservative with the ammo
@@ravensflockmate😏no
Just run TTW without guaranteed wild wasteland for Mothership Zeta, stable with the TTW modpack floating around. You get alien weapons, plenty of ammo for them, and the gauss.
@ravensflockmate There's a glitch that allows you to hotkey ammunition if you have multiple types of it. There's guides on how to do it here, but all you gotta do is hotkey your most abundant ammunition and equip it with the blaster equipped and you'll have a steady ammunition supply for the rest of the game. You can also hotkey rockets and equip them to the laser detonator for lots of fun, ymfah has a cool video on it
@@slabbulkhead6875 i don't really like abusing glitces like that

You touch on two of the most subtle points of writing in the game in this video, both of which got a little botched by the condensed development timeline.
There are five key details about Caesar’s society that are meant to shock and horrify the player into immediately identifying the Legion as evil: The crucifixions, the slavery, the total subservience of women, the fact that they booby trap dead bodies (some of this content was patched out because it was buggy, it was more prominent on release), and the way they massacre tribes and mould their children into Legionnaires.
The arc of the game’s story is encountering this conflict between the “good” NCR and “evil” Legion, and gradually peeling back the layers, finding out that neither faction is what it seems. This is expertly done by revealing the noble NCR are, in fact, similar to Caesar’s Legion in many ways, guilty of similar crimes. Where women have no rights in Caesar’s Legion, it’s implied that the NCR tolerates homophobia in the Mojave (Major Knight’s dialogue - much of this thread seems to have been cut from the final game). Where Caesar crucifies, the NCR beheads (3 Card Bounty) and massacres (Goodsprings, NCRCF in I Fought The Law) to instill terror. While the Legion traps bodies with explosives, the NCR blew up ALL OF BOULDER CITY as a trap for the legion.
And then you have Bitter Root. Bitter Root isn’t just an interesting character - he’s the foil to Lucius, the head of Caesar’s Praetorian guard. If you talk to Lucius about his past, he tells you when he was a boy, his tribe was conquered, the women were all enslaved, the men were mostly killed, and boys and young men like him were inducted as legionnaires. Over time, he earned glory in combat, until he became a trusted confidant of Caesar himself. He feels nothing but grateful for the murder of his tribe, says it made him strong and set him free from the animalistic ways of his people.
Lucius is a shocking character - and Bitter Root’s story is nearly identical, only Bitter Root is NCR.
And then there’s the Powder Gangers! Tragically neglected due to time constraints. The Powder gangers are meant to be the foil to Caesar’s practice of slavery. While Caesar’s Legion are literal slavers, the NCR uses penal gang labor to rebuild the railroads. While folks like Joe Cobb and Eddie and Dawes, as well as the Primm thugs, are meant to show you that NCRCF was home to some rough characters, all the other Powder Gangers are much more sympathetic - petty drug dealers and smugglers (Hannigan), sheriffs who took the law into their own hands (Meyers), and dudes who were in the wrong place at the wrong time (Carter). The Nipton crowd is portrayed as corrupt but less than evil (excepting the mayor), and the folks trying to rob the Vikki and Vance are just desperate draft dodgers who know the punishment for desertion.
If you ask these guys why they still run with the Powder Gangers, they’ll tell you the NCR isn’t going to welcome them back and it’s safer for them inside NCRCF than it is outside it. These are the NCR’s equivalent of slaves, and for their Attica moment, they are met with a harsher punishment than Attica - a death sentence, conferred with only one exception (Meyers).
Vault 19 is a referendum on this NCR practice of penal labor, with a fun Vault-Tec twist of a paranoia inducing layout. Samuel Cooke, you learn, isn’t a criminal at all - he’s a revolutionary who views the NCR as an imperialist war machine (which, yes, it is). In a way, he’s lookingto remake himself as an NCR Spartacus, forming a unified resistance to tyranny through an alliance with the Great Khans. The player can choose to side with him, acknowledging the righteousness of his cause, or work with Lem to negotiate a surrender, deciding whether or not they agree NCR’s vision of crime and punishment, of order and authority. Or, of course, you can always dispense your own NCR justice - Bitter Springs style.
It’s all so good! But unfortunately it’s easy to miss because, well, the Powder Gangers kind of suck and are split into two factions (“Powder Gangers” and Vault 19), both of which has barely any content at all. And Bitter Root - there’s just no reason to talk to
him other than curiosity. Great little writing subtleties, easily missed.
The story of New Vegas is just so good - you peel back the layers to learn the conflict between good and evil isn’t as clean as you think at first (although the Legion is still MUCH worse than the NCR), all while marching towards the symbol of a beyond-good-and-evil Randian ubermensch in Mr. House, who exercises many of the same tools of control himself. The details of how the NCR is in some ways like the Legion are fed to you as a drip, almost perfectly paced. If only it had been a little more fleshed out!
Underrated comment.
To me this comment serves as an important critical thinking test about the spin and narratives people can place on certain actions. I dont know if i would place tolerating homophobia on the same level as total subjugation of women. Wartime tactics are debate able so ill leave that alone. Taking prisoners at their word of why they are there (while ignoring that criminals often downplay and justify their crimes) is not smart. Cooke is by definition a terrorist. Blowing up supply convoys to achieve political goals is not cool or based and cookes alliance with the khans (who represent the endgame of imperialism , forcing their will upon others by forcefully taking from traders and caravans) speaks to the integrity of his morals
@@globalelite3042 Thank you. I fucking had to do a spit take and reread the sentence when he compared total subjugation of a sex to TOLERATING homophobia (not even enforcing it!).
@@globalelite3042 additionally they just completely misinterpret Bitter Root, Bitter Root is a huge foil, but not to Lucius, but to every Khan you meet who (justifiably) hates the NCR for Bitter Springs. Bitter Root exists to provide the perspective that the Khans were, at the end of the day, far from innocent, (his dad teaching him to shoot at civilian caravans, mom trying to sell son into slavery, literal beatdowns to earn the privilege of a name). while this doesn't make the player approve of bitter springs seeing him so angry about growing up with the Khans is really interesting
@@skylarm2068 Nah, it's an overrated one.
I just love the way u structure these videos, they feel like a condensed playthrough with dry humor. There should be more 'narrative review' type channels.
Really liked New Vegas.
Was fairly lucky regarding bugs on release. Except by the end. Climbed a rock and fell trough it, couldnt get out.
Luckily i hade a older save file.
Will never forget how you keep hearing the same voice actor constantly in this game. Yuri Lowenthal must have had a field day.

Same here. Sadly, the VTMB 2 is garbage.
Vtmbl 2 doesn't even exist? They "delayed" project and last update was several years ago.
You should really try out Tyranny.
24:21 Cigarettes leave a trail you can track for miles.
I've just realized how amazing that line is due to the cigarettes you can pick up at your grave that Benny smokes in the opening. You can give them to Swank as evidence to kill Benny.
Swank Was Right In The End
Hilariously enough, Fallout 4 copied this plot thread wholesale with Kellogg's cigars
read blood meridian for the first time recently and quickly became obsessed with it, one of the best pieces of literature ive ever read. so excited for this series, warlockracy.
i fucking love this editing style, as good as the wojack style characters for isometric games
Was in despair earlier. Saw the Warlock is starting his New Vegas series. Life is good again.
I subbed for the Deus Ex hilarity a while back, one of my favourite gaming experiences, and now we've made it to New Vegas which is yet another. I've laughed out loud several times already. Keep it up dude, you're always entertaining and funny as hell.
Same. By far my favorite TH-cam playthrough of DX.
Wow, I've played New Vegas so many times and only just now realized the robots don't actually take your 2000 caps. They are just making sure you're not some bum with like 2 caps and a beer bottle that won't make the Strip any money. I guess I'm just so used to games going "You need 2000 (moneys) to get in" and having that mean they'll take it from you.
Also Warlock, and I mean this as a compliment, your voice puts me right to sleep. I have a computer set up to my TV in my living room and if I'm watching one of your videos I fall asleep on the couch. Your soothing tones talking to me about Morrowind quest design and environmental details is like a lullaby.
Great video as always!
There's also a few ways into Vegas besides the credit check. My fave was learning that you could grab Boone and pass through the monorail. It's a magical moment.
What a pleasant stroll through memory lane. You traceing all the references and connections to the older games is quite the treat man.
Finally a New Vegas look back with its own actual spin on it and not just rehashing the story for the 80th time.
Had to subscribe after you quoted the Judge. That is probably my favorite line in all of literature and its different forms. "Whatever in creation exists without my knowledge, exists without my consent."
I was practically married to this game at one point. On my first playthrough, I didn't want to kill Benny. He was a weasel, but was so likable. I would've let him go if I could. Even when I was using console commands and had no need to grind for xp or cash, I still did every quest, because the game made me care. After that, I started going through the whole obsidian catalogue, stopped playing shooters altogether and got into isometric crpgs, found your arcanum video, and finally ended up using your character save in baldurs gate 😁
Absolutely love how this vid went off the beaten path. Goes to show how you can have a memorable and narratively rich experience no matter what you do in this game.
One of my absolute favorite games of all time. Thank you for uploading this today. I can’t begin to tell you how much I appreciate it!!! ☮️🤗
12:50 Jocker removes any OTHER cards similiar to the attached one . For example you are attach it to your or opponent's 7. Every other 7 will be removed from the table.
Actually the only channel I eagerly anticipate videos from, since trying to cut down on social media. This isn't "content", feels more like a hangout. Thanks Warlock, this is a niche (and a space in my heart) you filled perfectly.
ALWAYS take the Wild Wasteland Trait. Also this is one of my all time fsvourite games. I loved Dead Money DLC a little too much and i also loved Old World Blues. Just chefs kiss.
I still love the voice cast in this game. Like Fallout 1 and 2, they got some really good TV actors to voice a lot of the major characters. Chandler from Friends voices Benny, Odo from DS9 voices Mr. House, Felicia Day voices someone else, and I forget some of the other TV actors. And then Wayne Newton, irl Vegas personality, voices Mr. New Vegas.
Michael Dorn (Worf) also reprises his role as Marcus.
Danny Trejo as Raul too!
Felicia day as Veronica, Zachary Levi as Arcade
A Warlocracy New Vegas video? Been eager for this since your first video covering any of the fallout games.
R.I.P. Matthew Perry. The world lost another gamer. 💔
He'll hold down The Tops in the sky for us until we get there.
The Powder Gangers was one of my favorite factions. They have a lot of content if you explore the whole map. If New Vegas gets remastered I hope they're turned into a real faction
It's hard to remain neutral with the powder gangers while also keeping the folk of Goodsprings alive. But not impossible 😏
And you can attack the powder gangers during the fight. But you need to do sneak attacks and probably use some save scumming.
Praise must be given to whomever is responsible for the art in the first 50 seconds of this video, looked great!
It's from the official new Vegas comics!
0:05 I like to imagine SchoolboyQ is the only modern media cannon to the Fallout setting
I did not know you could stealth boy past the death-claws. When I tried to stealth boy past them a unique, blind death-claw would just start running at me and kill me before I could get to Fiend territory.
If you ever get the chance to try sasparilla, you should. Its like rootbeer but not. Has a slight citrus flavor too
Anyone else only just now learn that Mr. Vegas was an AI? Neat to learn a new thing about this game so long after playing it!
Except he's not artificial. How did you get that idea
Fallout New Vegas is like meeting a girl you are trying to romance. You think you know how her very well but then she tells you something you’ve never knew about her, interesting details that makes her more attractive.
Love this video and how I learn new quest and things I could do in the game.
This is incredible already, loving the content and can't wait to see where this series goes
I've been listening to this on a sunny day while darning a set of socks and it has absolutely made my day. Fantastic video.
I think this is your best yet. The production and pacing of your explanations, your use of quotes and aphorisms and Mr New Vegas's interjections were brilliant. Bloody well done, mate!
Every single time I watch a lengthy video essay on the best game ever made I hope to learn something new or see something I have never done in game.
Didnt happened. I swear I played this game way to much. With and without the Sawyer mod.
I love this video. Because of this, I am going back to play New Vegas. The last time I played was in 2013. Long live Caesar!!!
I noticed you using the Jsawyer Ultimate mod almost immediately. Finally a youtuber who plays this game correctly.
I always took Malcolm's warning about people killing you on suspicion of having star bottle caps literally, and i always killed him for his.
In retrospect, I was probably a chaotic evil player. I regret these action and similar actions, but I wanted to collect every unique thing I could. I wonder if my adhd played a role in this mindset.
It later drove me nuts trying to get that m1 garand in the monorail station. I was almost convinced the quest was bugged, or it didn't exist.
"That's what happens when you leave your nerds unbullied" what a quote
I've said it once and I'll said it again: In my experience, regardless whether, as a nerd, you get bullied or not, you're bound to spiral out of control upon reaching adulthood either way. The difference is that the bullied, like me, come to embrace despair while the unbullied, like maybe Todd, gets their hopes too high up. So it's practically a lose-lose situation.
Wonderful video. It's very interesting how everyone always seems to play this game differently, whether it be slight differences or just skipping entire main quests for the hell of it. Good video.
It seems I tend to rewatch some of your videos right before new release. Thank you for your hard work, you beautiful person
In Caravan, Queens will reverse the ascending or descending direction of cards in a caravan, so if you play it on a 2 covering a 3, you can then put a 3-10 on the 2, when before the Queen you could only play an Ace. Jokers will remove all cards of the same suit from the board, except the one it's played on. If your opponent has all spades and you have one, play a joker on yours and he loses everything. It can be a nuke.
A fun way to win is to force your opponent to have a full caravan, if you have the other two already, because a hand doesn't end until all 3 columns have 1 caravan ready to go (and un-tied). So if you got 21, 10 and 25 and your opponent has 2, 16 and 8, you can put a king on one of his 8s in the middle, all 3 columns become ready, and you win 2-1.
There's a lot of strategy to Caravan, and the old guy in Primm is a nasty fighter. There are also certain metas that absolutely break the game, like just 7s, 8s and kings when building your deck.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS time do annoy my wife by having this on 8 hours a day during work from home until she divorces me
Oh god the ending reminded me of the modder Giskard, who never forgave the green arrows in Oblivion and how they trained people. Decades later he made a mod for skyrim where the quest giver tells you to ignore the white arrow, and if you don't all of the mod's features lock
Most realistic part of the play through was the fact that he never ended the game
R.I.P Mathew Perry, your performance was quite good in this game.
I realize this is an old video now but if you make a second part then the R in sarsparilla is silent pronounced more like sassparilla, but ill admit hearing you put the emphasis on the R made me laugh a few times. Keep up the great work these videos are fantastic!
man it feels like ive been waiting on this vid from you for a while. i love what you did with the inclusion of the mr new vegas script and caravan cards. i was elated to notice that the vid was nearing its end and that you barely scratched the surface of the game, insuring at least a new vegas part 2 video from you. phenomenal work as always, thank you so much for all you do!
Glad to see one of my fav youtubers is back and kicking! Hope ur doing well dude and staying safe. thanks as always for the quality content
The game that started it all for me. I will never stop playing nor will i stop loving Fallout New Vages.
I pray to the Uber Chad Alexander Lukashenko that the next part comes out soon. Please grace me with your favour big boy
I have a watch party for every new upload and man they just keep getting better!! Fantastic work, dude!!
This is the first time I've gotten to see one of your videos about a game I've played to death and get to see each part not as an introduction to something new but a reminder of something fondly cherished. It's an interesting experience.
This is what happens when you leave nerds unbullied
You've summoned Todd, you fool.
Actually, in my experience, regardless whether, as a nerd, you get bullied or not, you're bound to spiral out of control upon reaching adulthood either way. The difference is that the bullied, like me, come to embrace despair while the unbullied, like maybe Todd, gets their hopes too high up.
I played this game for hundreds of hours back in the day. I love your cinematic work and editing on this.
Keep it up!
I stumbled upon your channel and binged all of it because Fallout 2 was my all time favourite game growing up.
Keep up the great work, Im looking forward to this series!!
The playing card transitions between sections are a nice touch
just fantastic. i always learn a ton more about new vegas every time i play it or watch a (good) video on it. i can't wait for more
RIP Cormac McCarthy. love the quotes and intermingling the themes with New Vegas. So cool
Funny, in my last New Vegas run, I decided to go straight to New Vegas for a change. I ended up being extremely rogue and wiping out the casinos with the fancy plasma rifle in the REPCONN HQ and a nice set of black combat armor. I didn't intend for it to be an extermination run.
New Vegas is my favorite game so I am beyond excited to get to see 8+ hours of content from you devoted to it.
You gonna do all of the DLC?
I've never read Blood Meridian (maybe I should) but every quote from it is the hardest thing I've ever heard. This series is definitely a great way to do the 100-hour-game video essay format. A mixture of the game's plot, your character build and choices, and the occasional tangent about the hubris of mankind and our attempts to control the world make for a unique watch.
I don't know how well the FNV DLCs would work with your video format
but are you interested in covering them as well?
Old World Blues would be a fun watch
No one will probably read this, but if you wear certain faction armor, your reputation with other factions, will be changed, for as long, as you're wearing the armor. For example, I recently did a Legion playthrough and I was idolized with them, but as soon, as I put on my NCR disguise, my reputation with the Legion would change to neutral, in my Pip-Boy. When I took it off, I was idolized again. That could be the problem here because I am usually "liked" by the Powder Gangers after completing their Quest chain
In Vanilla New Vegas, I found that maybe 2 hours of sleep/day was sufficient to avoid sleep deprivation. If you consider that a regular sleep cycle, I’m worried for your health
That is technically regular
Best playthrough is a genie run.
I will do whatever you ask of me. However, you should take care to be as specific as possible, because here, in New Vegas, your wish is MY command.
Ensure character skin is Disney blue or Osiris green.
"Howdy pardner, I am 'I am'. How may i be of service to you today?"
The NPC's descending into the ground is a bug with the "WAR Mix" mod which I see you have installed. The latest version of the mod seems to have fixed it though.
I refuse to fix this
Currently on my first playthrough of NV, this is amazing timing!
i am pooping while watching this BTW
Champion 💪
Never thought I see an actual guide on caravan, thanks.
The queens and jokers explanation followed by immediately winning was relatable, and very funny to me
Dude, you rock. Love your videos, make them as long as you don't hate it and it doesn't cost you salary, please.
Please play New Vegas Dust. It's incredible. Imagine if New Vegas was invaded by the worst things from the DLCs and add a few decades. The environmental storytelling is the best in any RPG
I think I love these videos because I've played these games to death, and it's nice to just watch a curated playthrough which requires zero effort on my part
Waiting on part 2
Wow thanks so much for making this video. Been a long time coming lol. Plus props for using the comic.
I remember reading this short story book in my platinum chip edition of FO;NV and thinking "wow that guy was a fucking idiot." even as a teenager.
