It is kinda fitting that the Wendigo is afriad of fire
I Believe in native American mythology it’s sometimes said that wendigo are afraid of fire if my memory serves me right
@@jordanmagpiebullet7978They are super sensitive to heat while fire is the only other way to kill one (The other being to destroy its heart). They will even avoid potential prey if it is near fire
@@qkomodo9098 that’s a good Point
No offense brah but that's just called good writing
"And many of them that sleep in the DUST of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt."
- Daniel 12:2
Joshua condemned himself, his tribe and all of Zion to this torment. Now he wanders the ruined canyon, forever removed from the sight of God. Perhaps there's some small part of him in there somewhere, and he knows that he deserves this.
This entire mod feels so poetic and just goes to show the hidden talent of some people,truly the greatest (and most tragic)example of Murphy's law
Poetic and biblical justice
Sad that this is the second to last episode, but this is gonna be so good to re-watch later down the line.
Feels a sad fate for a man who was so inspiring. Truly everything that can go wrong does go wrong in DUST.
The entire story of Fallout: New Vegas is about letting go of the past, each DLC is about letting go of the past and moving on to create something better, or at least improve what was already there. Most major NPC’s have stories about needing to let go of grudges, prejudices, or past events. In OWB, The Think Tank and Morbius are all stuck living in the past, in the Old World. At Big Mountain they’re effectively trapped and forced to live in the past, forever unable to let go of the Old World. Morbius is the only one who has even slightly began to let go but even then he is stuck attempting to stop the Think Tank, also unable to let go of his past. Along with this, in Honest Hearts, Joshua Graham is unable to let go of what happened to New Canaan, and he is unable to let go of what the White Legs did there, which is why he is so adamant about wiping out the White Legs, not only to protect Zion and the tribes there but also go avenge the slaughter of New Canaan. In Lonesome Road, Ulysses is unable to let go of what happened in Hopeville, and Ashton. He is also unable to let go of his past with the Legion, and furthermore he isn’t able to let go of the Old World despite what he states, it’s clear Ulysses despite his own beliefs about himself is very much stuck in the past, which is adverse to his entire ideology so Ulysses’s as a character before being talked down (or killed) by the Courier is a contradiction. And finally, Elijah is unable to let go of the Old World, and more importantly, what happened at Helios One, by all accounts Helios was an effective massacre where Brotherhood Paladins became overwhelmed by the NCR, taking extremely heavy casualties that almost ended the entire Brotherhood Chapter. Elijah is clearly traumatized, and likely has PTSD or at the very least mental trauma from the battle at Helios as when you talk to him at the end of Dead Money, if you ask him questions, and have talked to Veronica, you gain an option to join him, and if you do so he reveals a great deal. The way he talks about Helios One is very depressing, it’s clear he’s absolutely traumatized by what happened, he talks as if he’s somewhere else entirely, as if he were speaking but his mind was back at Helios One, reliving it as he tells the Courier what happened, it’s honestly amazing voice acting and it’s very sad.
All this to say, Fallout: New Vegas is about letting go and this Dust series is amazing, so I absolutely love tying it back into the whole “letting go” theme which I believe is the entire overarching point of the narrative. Each DLC is about letting go, all 4 faction choices for ending the game tie the concept or theme of letting go into their quest lines, in their own unique ways. Amazing work so far, keep it up! And remember: “Finding it though, that’s not the hard part. It’s letting go.”
You caught on to a theory Ive had... Obsidian were coming to terms with New Vegas and its DLCs being their "last" Fallout, as well as their way of letting go of Van Buren from back in the day. What better way than to tie that into the overlying theme?
@@grouch_gaming
That’s a nice theory, regardless of how true it could be. It’s a nice thought and could very well have been the case :)
@@armorpiercing3277 I base it off interviews with Chris Avalone and Josh Sawyer. Though Im sure my following statement extends to the majority of the Obsidian team. You can just hear the pained passion whenever they talk about it, especially during development, patching, and DLCs. Heck even now you can still taste the melancholic fondness in their voices. See it in their eyes. They didnt want to let go, so they worked as hard as they could tying letting go into the story because at the end of the day they had to let go and hand the IP back to Bethesda. Not tryna sound like a broken record, just giving the why behind the thought as Ulysses might say.
@@armorpiercing3277 you said morbius when talking about big mt
Okay first I just wanna say that your comment is amazing and what I was going to say but a lot longer and better worded and I would like to add onto it. So as most people know there are multiple endings for the DLCs in New Vegas and I'm going to be honing in on two for Honest Hearts. Towards the end of the DLC if you've chosen to side with Joshua after battling your way through Zion and the White Legs you will come across Salt-Upon-Wounds the leader of the White Legs. And there are two choices you can make here one is to agree with Joshua that Salt-Upon-Wounds needs to die. That he poses to much of a threat to be allowed to live despite the fact that he has surrendered which ends with Joshua executing Salt-Upon-Wounds and the Dead Horses with the Sorrows butchering the White Legs. The other option ,which is dependent on speech checks, is to talk Joshua into sparing Salt-Upon-Wounds and by extension the White Legs. If your able to pass the speech checks Joshua says (and I am paraphrasing here) that "since the start of the conflict with the White Legs when he sleeps he's back at the hoover dam and all he can feel is rage and hatred. Which is how he acted as a legate and that it has started to affect him during his waking hours aswell." additionally he thanks you for talking him out of executing Salt-Upon-Wounds. So it's my theory that Dust takes place in the world where Joshua was unable to let go of the past and executed Salt-Upon-Wounds and the Dead Horses with the Sorrows hunted down and killed the White Legs. And Dust is the story of what happens when you CAN'T let go of the past and what it does to a person.
Whatever. Joshua, put a cap in General Gobbledygook here.
Fallout: Dust has become a small hyperfixation for me since I saw your first video on it. I've absolutely loved this series! Amazing work.
Nothing better than sleeping in on my day off and seeing a new episode of the Dust lore series.
Edit: Super hyped for Episode 10.
Somebody’s from kentucky
Honestly I'd be really curious to see someone make a mod like this for Skyrim. With all these intricate stories of how the characters we knew in the game were lost, threaded throughout the world.
Just play Morrowind.
iirc there is one similar in which the Dragonborn is too late and Alduin controls all of Skyrim. All quest NPCs are dead and all settlements are taken over by the Dragonpriests and their undead armies
@@NapalmStrike802 What's the mod called?
@@dat_dude-vj3ml I don’t recall, I’ll let you know if I find it
@@NapalmStrike802also curious
This series proves that in Fallout, you either die a Storyteller..... Or live long enough to become a Spaceman
Love this series and it's homage to OG Shoddycast, can't wait to see more
I have to say, your series DID inspire me to give dust another try.
It's unfortunate that this amazing journey is going to end but it was good being here. Hope for more of this kinda stuff, maybe even part two to cover miscellaneous stories. Anyways thanks Scott.
Good episode, there is more to cover about the Wendigo or the expeditionary NCR stranded forces in Zion but this and the previous episode just about covers most of it. I wonder if there is a small part of Joshua in there still. Would he agree he deserves this?
Anyhow, I wonder if you will cover each exit out of DUST or just the Sierra Madre one
Absolutely loving this series
I really hope this series goes on for a while this is amazing content and has given me so many fun ideas for pure mayhem to draw!
shame this series is coming to a end i feel there is so much more to cover with dust
Man iv always wanted something like this for Dust and you've delivered everything and more! Absolutely superb work!
i just woke up from a nap after making some artwork specially for this episode and posting it and what i found? this on my notifs, the god truly blessed us today
that thing never dies, makes zion very scary, wendigo screams and rushes on you, if you try to fight it appears again and again, makes zion very tense location.
Always look forward to these Fridays
Awesome Storytelling like always! Btw when your done talking about the sierra madre can you talk about the enclave or arcade
this series is mostly on the fallout dust lore. the sierra madre may be possible but arcade and enclave idk
@@ScoutTrooperMan I think the video ending on the letting go phrase basically confirms the next episode being about The Sierra Madre.
@@adgVelaepyaety or it's about Big Mt. The in-universe phrase "Old World Blues" applies not only to the facility site, but the Brotherhood as well
@@tinaherr3856
Well in these videos, the last line or 2 before the “that is a story for another day” line are connected to the next video.
So I figure with the final shot being of the Vertibird that actually takes you to the Sierra Madre in DUST and as I said the final line of “Thats not the hard part, its letting go.”
Its probably more likely a video on the Madre itself
But we’ll see once it gets uploaded.
@@adgVelaepyaety yeah i commented that before watching the full vid now watching it. i'm sure the next episode its gonna be about the madre
I WENT TO ZION TO TRY AND GET THE WENDUSSY AND ALL I GOT WAS BUTCH DELORIA SQUATTING IN A CAVE. WORSE ENDING EVER
Just binged the whole series man this is some good stuff
The Brotherhood are still around, therefore it is safe to say the Courier killed Mr. House.
I imagine the NCR’s reaction to Hoover Dam in Dust is if General Oliver got thrown from the Dam, which is the type of thing a Courier who nuked Dry Wells and The Long 15 would do. However it’s probably worth noting I’m something of a House apologist and this way House’s plan still works as it was the Courier’s deviation from the plan that made NCR brand him a terrorist in this scenario
I was just binging this series. I literally just found your channel and videos the other day and now you come out with another video. The weekend starts off with a bang
This is such a wonderful series, so glad that you've been making it and i can't wait to see the final episode. Pretty excited to play Dust sooner than later, too
i love how. in a worls of already exetremes. just a littttle more is all i can and will take to have people we read and know about snap and time lines to change and shift
Just found spaceman’s dust vid a day or so ago and this series now. Absolutely killing it.
Amazing
Leaving the Mojave and letting go $50 says that it’s gonna talk about the Sierra Madre next
Subbed because of DUST lore
Stayed because of so much more
Bang on this time as well, keep it up Space Cadet :)
Leaving a comment for the algorithm because you deserve more attention
Thank you so much for making these, not only are they really well made but as a console peasant I will never get access to these,
Apologies if it's rude to make a request but I'd love to see a series on fallout London.
Another great video, love your coverage of Dust, even after all these years. Keep it up
Incredibly well produced, good video
this is a great series
We can all agree that Dust mod is practically Fan Canon in fallout, the lore in dust is just so detailed and thought out, every time I have probably played dust as much as I played fallout nv premods
These videos are amazing please keep up the good work
Outstanding as always! Can't wait to see what you do next.
Hope you go into the demise of Big Mountian ___posted before I watched video if you tease a Big Mountian bit___
What happened to the enclave remants in dust
I love this can we get this as a podcast or somethin cuz this shit golden
Personally, I think you've successfully paid homage to Shoddycast.
Joshua, who was burned, scarred, hunted, who at first only wanted the best for his followers, was turned to madness and paid for it. The sight of god had left his corner of the world and he probably knew it in his last days of being human.
I think that if things in Dust happened slightly differently, Courier-6, who had been shot in the head, walked through an abandoned town filled with toxins, fought unspeakable horrors, would have been able to put down the Wendigo. Either from luring it into a trap and nuking it into its own fiery pit of hell or by forcing it to do battle with him, the man that went insane or barely managed to hold onto what remained of his humanity would probably stand the best chance of either surviving or killing the Wendigo
I wonder if you will mention what happened in Big MT, the entire place flooded.
I would love to see a multiplayer experience of dust in fallout NW or maybe a D&d campaign about fallout in general
With how fallout new Vegas multiplayer is slowly coming together it should be a matter of time until complete overhauls are allowed
Been a perfect narrator for this lore dive into a mod that expands the game.
Just wish there was a better outcome like with my fanfic. Couiers yes plural makes and independent vegas,stops both ncr and legion at every turn,brings some dlc characters back to the Vegas with him to iron out some stories,and basically just makes everything better in that wasteland.
New episode! Grab pop corn
I wonder if you will do Obscurum Pandemic or Frost next?
This FNV Dust series is really cool partner, greetings from Brazil.🤠🇧🇷
I find it bizarre how Dust makes out that Joshua turned into a raider chief after the player took “Crush the White Legs” - kind of invalidates the entire message of Honest Hearts.
I love Dust, but some of this lore is a stretch to say the least.
_At least it’s more accurate than The Frontier._
The video was good overall but the frame where Joshua is shown kneeling in front of Caesar is wrong. The legate was a founding member as well and they both respected each other.
Don't use nuclear weapons of any sort on the wendigo. It just makes it mad.
Hope you do a series for Frost
Mah boi you sound like you did the intro to trailer 101 that you?
In the base game, Joshua is a great religious story. A war criminal, forgiven by his family, baptized twice, and (depending on your decision) Someone who forgave the bastard who butchered everyone he loved. An embodiment of the values of Christianity. Redemption and forgiveness, and Zion served as a sort of untouched garden of Eden too, or the biblical setting of the middle east.
In Dust, he's a bastardization of who he was. Joshua, the religious man he was, died and rose again.
*"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."*
- John 3:16
He died, and rose again, and will live forever more. A perfect corrupted ending for someone named after a prophet who died in Canaan.
Oh! And in the Bible, Joshua is supposed to have lead the Israelites into the promised land.
Rose from the dead, died in the holy land, and became a demon of native American legend. Abandoned by God himself.
I'm curious who would win between the Wendigo and Frank Horrigan.
What about the skeletons you see on the cliffs of zion?
I know you had no real way of fixing this, buy I find it funny that young Josh looks "normal" compared to the rest of the Legion.
I think god loves us truly and does what’s best for us
So maybe we can’t understand why god made Joshua graham into a ungodly creature
Or maybe it’s just a scary game
Why this mf standing like that? Lmaoo 7:03
