Idiot dialogue here is good but i prefer fallout 2 because you cant act smart anywhere you are always an idiot and the game has every character act different because of it.
@@Amber_Valentine I mean with how much random shit that gets thrown in everytime that should be long gone I wouldn't be surprised if Pizza exists still
In fallout 3, there was a part that you needed to go into a school, but the machines were hostile. BUT if you had low intelligence, I think picking the 'ice cream' option when it asks why you are here, makes it think that you were a special needs kid & would not be hostile to you.
Fully grown man/woman that probably has at least 9 in str/end/agi/luck as you have 1 int and char. So basically "Special" Superman or Hulk. And i gotta say if Hulk screamed "ICE CREAAAAM!!" at me i would accept that password too.
In FO4 when accosted by a Mr. Gutsy one of the options is to say "Go fuck yourself you crazy robot". Hilariously enough the robot will decide that a Chinese infiltrator wouldn't say that, wishes you a nice day, and leaves.
I mean. If you saw a child wandering about with grenades and guns and Nuclear artillery, wouldn't you also want to go along to supervise them? I wouldn't, I like to live. But Arcade Gannon is better than me.
Veronica jokingly orders a brahmin burger when you go with her to the hidden valley bunker. It's likely that many culinary recipes and cookbooks survived the Great War.

Yea good for Ignacio he understands what you mean doesn't try to correct you, just goes along with it knowing what you mean.... unless you actually did want pizza.
A person stupider than him must have been really sobering. "I can't be that dumb, I really need to quit these drugs and stop disgracing myself. Otherwise I'll end up at least as bad as this guy." LOL
It’s like regular show when Mordecai and Rigby drank Brain Max they were both so smart that they started talking gibberish to everyone else but between the two it was a normal conversation.
I believe Fallout 2 had a similar interaction to this one Iirc it's a translation of what they're actually saying ... It's funnier when you think about the fact they're probably mumbling nonsense
The encounter at 4:10. He speaks so elegantly because your intelligence is so low. If you have high intelligence he just rambles on and you can't understand him.
@@Krejii05its the way everyone talks down to you or makes jabs at you on so many of the dialogues. Like they just want to feel superior to you even though you have been literally shot in the head and can't understand what they're saying. Hell, even the Followers doctor at the new vegas clinic insults your intelligence, and the dialogue choice might as well be you mishearing what she said
It would be time consuming to rewrite every line of dialogue to reflect low intelligence, so they just did a few funny options to show it off and left ones that wouldn't have a different outcome alone.
@@HTacianas I just think it would make more sense to have the character say bafflingly stupid things like you see with some of the low intelligence dialogue rather than "googoogaga" talk.
@@HTacianas I blame it on voice acting. Since you'd have to pay the VAs to react to the low INT choices. Without voice acting you actually could re-write the script to reflect dumb-dumb interactions.
Poor Ignacio Rivas. Imagine this hulking wastelander walking in, bedecked in heavy armour and strapped with a gun and/or enormous hammer that could annihilate you in an instant. You hesitantly but politely ask what he's here for when he lumbers up to you. His answer: a bone-chilling, monotone "I pet aminals." Terrifying Presence move over because I would run all the way east till I hit the sea.
For years until the pandemic I thought these dialogs were for everyone cause I never put points into intelligence, and it turns out they were not normal dialogs and never noticed I was getting called slow for years on fallout new veges
After a bunch of playthroughs I use exploits and cheats to unlock 10 in all SPECIALs and most perks. It's really surprising how many options you get in the weirdest moments.
you never noticed dialogue like “i is scientist” and “yes! pizza”…… so not only do you exclusively make low int characters in the fallout game with the hardest speech checks but irl you’re clearly pretty simple as well if you pay that little attention to dialogue to never notice that your characters are all talking like toddlers
Interact with a drill sergeant sometime. They act angry with perfectly average 5 INT people, those are generally too shocked by the act. They act particularly angry with high INT, because they should know better And for low INT, they tend towards a patience with an edge of humor, often placing them in the care of more capable soldiers for coaching Dealing with knuckleheads is pretty much in the job description

Lieutenant Monroe: "I can't disobey orders, can I?" Courier: "They were nice. You should be nice too." Monroe, trying not to cry: *I can't say no to this absolute bean*
Dean Domino is just vicious to low intelligence characters. Usanagi is kinda brutal too. Honestly I think Lt. Monroe is the funniest to not react, I’m kind of curious what his thoughts were the second he heard the courier speak like they’re 5 years old. Of course the fact Ignacio says that’s reassuring to the pizza line is too good as well.
Sometimes you forget this is 2 centuries after the apocalypse and that humanity has made strides to restore it self in some respects. That’s a great example of some good ol’ world building
Fallout in my opinion is classified as a Post-post Apocalypse game where humanity already rebuild civilization to the point that people don't really need to scrapes for food or water anymore. So things like universities, schools, institutions, ect, already existed with some qualified doctors and professors even by modern standard.
@@worlds3061 I by no means consider FO3's writing great, but I don't see it as contradictory to other games. Fallout 3's Capital Wasteland was bombed into oblivion, is plagued with raiders, slavers and super mutants, so the civilization there does not have much chances to pick itself up. Exploring the wasteland with rare solitary communities which are trying to pick up the pieces of the old world is a different mood compared to diving into FNV's boiling pot of factions and ideologies, and I respect and like FO3 for being that
I think your brain also says that its intellegence was increased through dissolved Mentats and being fed a bunch of fine literature when you ask it how it got so smart.
Always wondered what the hell happened to the Followers with people that claimed to follow the orders of pizza and to have him say "That's reassuring, although many who've made that claim to the Followers of the Apocalypse over the years have had less then pure intentions".
He probably thought pizza meant peace. As someone with a speech impediment, it happens a lot when people are trying to be nice. I say the correct number or letter weirdly and they just write them the wrong one to not question me.
I drive semi trucks all day for work and I broke down at the start of my day and at the middle of my day and I found this video while waiting for my guy to show up and it gave me a smile I desperately needed. 😆
I haven’t personally played any fallout but i’ve watched a playthrough of fallout 4 before, and all of these dialogue options are more earnest and thoughtful than more than half of the dialogue options even for intelligent protagonists in 4 LOL
the NV dialoge options can be a pain in the ass to navigate...but yes, they are definitely more rewarding I also love the fact that there are prostitutes advocating themself loudly in the streets and swears being used. It just adds so much to the atmosphere. Cant remember someone in FO4 even daring to swear onec
That's the difference between Obsidian and Bethesda. One is actually competent at writing. The other is just tripping their way through game development
@@KuueenKumi the way I've always seen it is like this: Obsidian (at least before the outer worlds) felt like Fallout, dark but with a teeny bit of dark humor to accent all the depressing stuff. Bethesda basically took the "dark humor" part and flanderized it, like how 3, 4, and 76 feel like Disney versions of Fallout, with very loose definitions of "scary" or "dark humor". The recent art direction is even a good example, everything has to be bright and shiny, even when the game literally takes place 76 years after a great nuclear war. Bethesda seems to want a "hope for the future" theme as opposed to the original fallout theme of "basically everything is fucked, and humanity's urge to fight itself will always ultimately overtake and overshadow the legacy of anything else".
@@thesneakystrangler9002 Spot on. Bethesda's entire research into Fallout was reading the Steam pages of Fallout 1 and 2. It still cracks me up: Fallout 3 is "Go find your father" and Fallout 4 is "Go find your son." Bethesda really are the king of completely uninspired and uncreative RPG writing. They'd probably get better results from high school students taking Creative Writing 101.
1:33 I thought this part was just the Courier saying something completely random, but figuring out that they think that the robot's an ice cream dispenser makes it five times as funny.
Of all the ones that made me laugh, it was 2:46 and the literal Legion Snakes that got me the most, god damn. New Vegas was so good. It's funny to think more time has elapsed now from its release than between then and when Fallout 2 was released
Ignacio is a great dude. He doesn't mock the courier or act patronizing. He's obviously not unaware of your "condition" but he treats you with the same respect as anyone else. That's rare enough in our "civilized" world, let alone a post apocalyptic one.
"Are you a maker of war, or peace?"

Courier goes "bUuRp*
Paladin of the Steel Brotherhood: "And...I took that personally"
"so anyways I started blasting"
Magic screen put on my phone 1 minute ago? Me watch. Me like.
Praise the all knowing algorithm
Hard unserdand, but steel like :)
7:55 "Old Sergeant Dornan wouldve had a field day with you" great throwback
IKR lmao
YOU MO-RON!! GET BACK TO YOUR GUARD POST!!
Surprisingly most the other Enclave in Fallout 2 are actually nice towards the low intelligence Chosen One
The smartest companion you can get in the game can be recruited by having very low intelligence, this is why I love Obsidian.
It's also available to gay male courier's
Dean Domino is just vicious to low intelligence characters. Usanagi is kinda brutal too. Honestly I think Lt. Monroe is the funniest to not react, I’m kind of curious what his thoughts were the second he heard the courier speak like they’re 5 years old. Of course the fact Ignacio says that’s reassuring to the pizza line is too good as well.
Dean Domino is just vicious -to low intelligence characters-
Would work too
Ave. True to Pizza
I wanna see this
It’s like a compilation of my everyday interactions.
4:36 Stupidity so incredibly dumb it cancels out and becomes a hidden language
Turned him into a Skyrim character real quick🤣🤣🤣🤣
8:46 the option for “ha ha youre dumber than me” must be a deep burn from someone with 1 intelligence 😂
1:33 bro really said ice cream and the robot went: "understandable, have a nice day" 💀
I like how Arcade decides to go with you because he feels bad for the Courier
Why would Arcade even let you need that thing? It's really his fault that happened, not us
This is a consistent take with the level 1 INT courier
Low int characters are like the orb of confusion. They make the people around them dumber
I guess The Think Tank were right about the Courier’s brain being barely wrinkled
Me playing games to not deal with reality.
This be too real.
Pizza
Ice Cream!
So me can think good
You no play
You realy gay
"are you soldier?"
"me shoulder"
0:58 The “Nuh uh” Got me rolling on the floor 😂😂😂
"Fully qualified physician." Qualified by who? What school is giving out certifications in the nuclear wasteland?
Followers of the Apocalypse have a university in the Boneyard, I’d also imagine there is other schools in NCR
Sometimes you forget this is 2 centuries after the apocalypse and that humanity has made strides to restore it self in some respects. That’s a great example of some good ol’ world building
Fallout in my opinion is classified as a Post-post Apocalypse game where humanity already rebuild civilization to the point that people don't really need to scrapes for food or water anymore. So things like universities, schools, institutions, ect, already existed with some qualified doctors and professors even by modern standard.
Bethesda fucked that up with fallout 3 and 4 where most people are still depicted living like savages even 200 years after the nuclear apocalypse.
@@worlds3061 I by no means consider FO3's writing great, but I don't see it as contradictory to other games. Fallout 3's Capital Wasteland was bombed into oblivion, is plagued with raiders, slavers and super mutants, so the civilization there does not have much chances to pick itself up. Exploring the wasteland with rare solitary communities which are trying to pick up the pieces of the old world is a different mood compared to diving into FNV's boiling pot of factions and ideologies, and I respect and like FO3 for being that
I love that ignacio rivas doesnt treat you any differently
ena pfp
He’s a Follower, they are genuinely good people unless they go the route of Edward/Caesar
I can't tell what's funnier, people getting dumbfounded by how stupid you can be
Or people just understanding you completely
Everyone, even the evil characters, just treat you like a special little guy
4:10 This part was priceless! Every day my appreciation for New Vegas grows.
I think your brain also says that its intellegence was increased through dissolved Mentats and being fed a bunch of fine literature when you ask it how it got so smart.
*Sgt. Dornan bursts through the wall.*
“YOU MO-RON!!”😂
Always wondered what the hell happened to the Followers with people that claimed to follow the orders of pizza and to have him say "That's reassuring, although many who've made that claim to the Followers of the Apocalypse over the years have had less then pure intentions".
the courier meant peace in pizza also me shoulder
i think he just doesnt comment on your intelligence at all. I always assumed its cause hes just like. a nice dude.
He probably thought pizza meant peace. As someone with a speech impediment, it happens a lot when people are trying to be nice. I say the correct number or letter weirdly and they just write them the wrong one to not question me.
xdd
He means peace, and that line is a reference to Caesar and how he was originally a Follower of the Apocalypse before he created the Legion.
HA! ice cream is the check for repconn for both low and high intelligence. very clever
It's also if you have high luck
The low int/high luck check in repconn HQ ("ICE CREAM!") is so great 😂
ICE CREAM!
[Slams table] ICE CREAM!!
[Slams mini nuke] ICE CR- *Boom*
[SUCCEEDED] Thank you, sir. Have a nice day.
[LUCK 7] ICE CREAM
[Terrifying Presence] ICE CREAM!
The dialog with the drunkard is perfect 😂
4:10 i've seen a lot of funny dialog in new vegas, but this is peak comedy writting lmao
I love that this turns Arcade into a guardian for the courier.
I drive semi trucks all day for work and I broke down at the start of my day and at the middle of my day and I found this video while waiting for my guy to show up and it gave me a smile I desperately needed. 😆
I drive too, driver!
That brain sure is sassy
"How dare you belch in the face of a Paladin of the Brotherhood of Steel. I hereby sentence you to death."
Yeah, makes sense
0:15 i can imagine Courier this 🥺👉👈
"Uh oh, you've made me angry" absolutely destroyed me 😂😂😂😂😂
Then "are you, my brain?"
Finished me off 😂😂😂😂😂
8:24 that transition from dazzle to eddy
I haven’t personally played any fallout but i’ve watched a playthrough of fallout 4 before, and all of these dialogue options are more earnest and thoughtful than more than half of the dialogue options even for intelligent protagonists in 4 LOL
Its easy to accomplish when the other game's options are just "yes", "no", "funny yes" and "no but later yes"
the NV dialoge options can be a pain in the ass to navigate...but yes, they are definitely more rewarding
I also love the fact that there are prostitutes advocating themself loudly in the streets and swears being used. It just adds so much to the atmosphere.
Cant remember someone in FO4 even daring to swear onec
That's the difference between Obsidian and Bethesda. One is actually competent at writing. The other is just tripping their way through game development
@@KuueenKumi the way I've always seen it is like this: Obsidian (at least before the outer worlds) felt like Fallout, dark but with a teeny bit of dark humor to accent all the depressing stuff. Bethesda basically took the "dark humor" part and flanderized it, like how 3, 4, and 76 feel like Disney versions of Fallout, with very loose definitions of "scary" or "dark humor". The recent art direction is even a good example, everything has to be bright and shiny, even when the game literally takes place 76 years after a great nuclear war. Bethesda seems to want a "hope for the future" theme as opposed to the original fallout theme of "basically everything is fucked, and humanity's urge to fight itself will always ultimately overtake and overshadow the legacy of anything else".
@@thesneakystrangler9002 Spot on. Bethesda's entire research into Fallout was reading the Steam pages of Fallout 1 and 2. It still cracks me up: Fallout 3 is "Go find your father" and Fallout 4 is "Go find your son." Bethesda really are the king of completely uninspired and uncreative RPG writing. They'd probably get better results from high school students taking Creative Writing 101.
I had no idea low intelligence generated special dialogue, this is hilarious!
Another Obsidian game that does the same is neverwinter nights.
I just discovered this today. I know how my next playthrough is going be 😂
Wow. Ive only played this with high speech and charisma, didn't know the dialog was so well written
I like the idea of beating the absolute crap out of a Brotherhood of Steel Paladin after burping in his face.
1:33
I thought this part was just the Courier saying something completely random, but figuring out that they think that the robot's an ice cream dispenser makes it five times as funny.
"YOU STINKY"💀💀
I gotta use ''wow. I've got to admit, you have completely defied my first impression of you.'' Sometime
I don’t understand why the Courier’s brain was getting annoyed when YOURE LITERALLY NOT HELPING THE COURIER COMPUTE ATM
"How much money do you owe this, Reaper guy?" 🤣
Of all the ones that made me laugh, it was 2:46 and the literal Legion Snakes that got me the most, god damn. New Vegas was so good. It's funny to think more time has elapsed now from its release than between then and when Fallout 2 was released
Ignacio is a great dude. He doesn't mock the courier or act patronizing. He's obviously not unaware of your "condition" but he treats you with the same respect as anyone else. That's rare enough in our "civilized" world, let alone a post apocalyptic one.
The Followers of The Apocalypse are one of the few genuinely good natured factions in Fallout. Ignacio being this way makes sense.
13:41 my god... the Sierra madre ambient sound bring me back a lot of nostalgia 😢
You need to let go
Fallout New Vegas, is a certified classic.
"You're one of them "special" folks, ain't you?" will always still with me
"will always still with me"
...
You're one of them "special" folks, ain't you?
I am crying how Brain-tank is struggling to make his point 😂😂😂
i like the idea that the only time the corridor blinks is the intelligence check
The video alone is brighter than the courier here
That's really cool. It really gives your Courier a genuine personality that you can relate to.
I have to wonder what a 1 Intelligence, 10 Charisma build would look like
Warm... Warm never changes...
"Oh, lovely. They've send me a mo-ron."
