Here's a way to differentiate NCR hit squads with Caesar's Legion assassins. NCR sent those Rangers and gave you a time limit to get a better reputation. The Legion just wants you fucking dead for daring to resist them and fight back. And sticking it to the Legion is a hell of a lot of fun. Also, Joshua Graham is very much the best character in New Vegas. Dude was voiced by the coolest and gruffest-sounding guy you could ever find...who was also in The Dark Knight as the detective guarding the Joker's interrogation room.
I love the legion hit squads, how else (aside from casinos) would I get a steady supply of legion coins to pack into shotgun shells to shoot at the legion.
The luck stat also has another bonus in this game by letting you rob casinos in the New Vegas strip blind to the point where you get kicked out with a jacked chance at winning casino games. You can literally walk into New Vegas for the first time and walk out with an Anti-Material rifle and still have a fortune of caps left over.

17:18 Yes, technically a failure on his part. He was warned ahead of time that the bombs were going to be dropped and the world would end. He hastily built an army of the most advanced security robots huge money and vast influence could get him. But an issue rose up. The place that could make a really advanced software for the robots was really far away from his base in Las Vegas. He was able to built the robot army with basic controls, and the software update that unlocked the better warfare were both completed. However, he was just a tad late. Before the software could be delivered, he ran out of time and the bombs dropped. He had *intended* for the chip to reach him asap, but it just didnt happen and he ended up having to wait a really long time, until eventually a courier service was able to get a hold of the chip and send a certain protagonist to deliver it.
It gets worse. House had anti-missile defenses in place that caught most of the nukes heading for the Vegas area. The chip would have also upgraded their targeting, possibly letting Vegas get through the Great War unscathed. But it was a day late...
To clarify a few things: -House was not warned ahead of time. He ran several projects to basically map out humanity's future and they all reached the same conclusion: Mutual Destruction. -The Platinum chip only contained the OS House created. The factory in Sunnyvale, California was in charge of printing the Chip. The Chip is a PCB (printed circuit board) designed by House himself and could only be read by any terminals that he designated (There are 3 such terminals in FONV: His terminal in his Casino, the terminal in the weather station and the terminal inside Hover Dam). -The chip was delivered the morning of the nuclear holocaust. It was only found after House woke up from his coma and poured an entire fortune into prospecting for it, which he found and ordered to be shipped to him. -The courier we played as was 1 out of 6 couriers tasked with shipping 6 items. We just so happened to have the chip.
@ABSolution2468 I'm curious about that first point. And first, apologies as it's been forever since I last played so I'm real fuzzy here. Is it known if this is retconned? From what I've heard, the show is canon to the story, and House was shown to be party to Vault Tec's ideas. Did he find out on his own and barter his way to their inner circle?

I'm just wondering how he got *to* that meeting.
@@tasbard8545 at no point in the game was it implied that House was privy to or complicit in some scheme to kickstart the nuclear apocalypse. He was simply smart enough to see the very obvious writings on the wall and prepared as much as he could to preserve his own slice of america.
That's... Almost entirely wrong, actually. House _wasn't_ forewarned, he predicted the Great War over 15 years before it happened, and spent the vast majority of that time either personally inventing or paying others to develop the technologies he would need to recreate civilization after the end. The securitron development wasn't hasty, nor based on his wealth and influence; he designed several aspects of them himself, in particular programming both the prototype and final OS. I believe it was stated somewhere that he also personally designed their self-repair systems, but don't quote me on that one. The 200 year delay wasn't because he was waiting for it to pop up. He was in a coma for most of that due to system overloads, and sent out mercenaries to prospect for it shortly after he woke up and established contact with groups capable of doing so.
@@windhelmguard5295 Respectfully:Stupid take. While New Vegas is a continuation of Fallout 2, it's only PARTIALLY so, meaning you can fully enjoy it without having played ANY of the previous games.
There’s no better way to play Fallout New Vegas than as a blundering idiot. Sub-brick intelligence for the win For those that don’t know, having a 1 in intelligence unlocks the Dumb dialogue option. It allows ya to pass a lot of dialogue you otherwise wouldn’t just by being stupid
A nice thing that Badger didn't go into because of Runtime is that all 4 DLC are not only connected with each other in a progressing story, but are also canon to the main game. In order of events, it goes 1. Honest Hearts: a job protecting a trade caravan going to Zion Valley goes awry and you join up with the Burned Man himself to save the native tribes of Dead Horses and Sorrows from an invading Salt Lake tribe called White Legs. 2. Old World Blues: a bunch of sentient brains in flying jars kidnapped you and surgically removed yoir brain, heart and spine and help them out in this gigantic crater of a research facility to get said organs back and leave (this one is my 2nd favorite of the bunch) 3. Dead Money: a manic Father Elijah of the Brotherhood of Steel captures you and four other people, strap bomb collars on all of you, and have you run through the Sierra Madre Casino and Resort to break into the living graveyard and get the treasure underneath. (This is my no.1) 4. Lonesome Road: a figure from your past draws you into the Divide, a disease ridden nuclear hellscape (especially compared to the actual nuclear hellscape you regularly traverse in), so that he can finally kill you for a past sin that costed BOTH OF YOU a home town and made the Divide what it is now. And when you play it all in this order, it manages to merge seamlessly. Mostly, if you play to find everything, including random documents and audio logs. It is a great game, despite how bad the bugs can get. For that, I can not recommend the Unofficial Patch enough. Barring that, there are modders trying to remake New Vegas in a FO4 mod.
I love new vegas because it does something the other fallout games don't See in conversations you have skill checks for various things. It isn't just one big "charisma" check, but you actually need to know what you are talking about. You want to convince a guy to supply you with TNT? You need a high enough skill in explosives. But with new vegas if you are going to fail the skill check then you can say some hilariously stupid things. Like telling someone you know how to disarm landmines by trying to pick them up very slowly.
2 seconds in, and every fallout fan is so used to Brahmin, when Chelzor was confused we all thought, "What, the statue?" because Brahmin are just kind of everywhere in Fallout. We don't see them, the same way nobody really sees other cars on the road. Like, yeah, we see them. But they don't mean anything beyond "Yep, there's a car there. Don't crash into them."
You'd be surprised by the familiar voice actors being in the game. Like Jason Marsden, Felicia Day, Zachery Levi, Rene Auberjonois, Danny Trejo, Dave Foley, Fred Tatasciore, Jason Spisak, Keith Szarabajka, Dave Fennoy, even Ron Perlman. You should also check RussianBadger's Star Wars videos. Top notch comedy right there. :)
You can play how you like. However, to make character overpowered you need to focus on one playstyle instead of balanced. Every stat has extremely good benefits when max, but you have to sacrifice a few others like he did. You can beat the game with high enough charisma and never having to fight. Max intelligence can get you pass so many places and special science weapons. So there's really no bad stats, but it's recommended to at least max 1 stat out and focus on that playstyle.
I would like to point out Shotguns are absolutely busted. There are perks you can select where you can basically stunlock the enemy and armor pierce with buckshot These are the Stay Back and Shotgun Surgeon perks. Really fun
Joshua Graham is basically Makoto Shihio from Rurouni Kenshin only he traded in his sword for a Bible and .45 Caliber pistol. And here's the crazy part, Badger doesn't get into how crazy the other three DLCs are. Old World Blues is just bonkers, one of the "villains" is Doctor Venture in all but name for god's sake. To not even get into Ulysses. Also willing to bet dollars to doughnuts that when Season 2 shows up either House or Yes Man will be declared the cannon ending of New Vegas.
If you'd be interested in more Fallout Lore in a fairly youtube/reaction friendly style I would highly recommend the ShoddyCast's "The Storyteller" series where they look at the lore from a mostly in universe perspective of a wandering historian and story teller within the fallout universe. The voice actor recently passed but it is a very good watch for the Fallout Universe.
2:10 its worse than that, he said pitch, which may be badger being wrong or the fallout lore not really knowing what pitch is, but pitch was thought to be a solid but its just such a viscous liquid that we couldnt tell, its billions of times more thick than water or honey if im remembering right, they started an experiment over 90 years ago where they drip pitch, and as of today, only 9 drops have happened, so that guy must have had a terrible time removing it.
47:45 she just like me fr. I can't tell you how many hours I have in skyrim, but I can tell you how many times I've completed the main quest line. Once. And that wasn't even on my own save file.
One of the funniest final options still for me is telling yes man to throw Oliver off of the damn and you get a quick scene of seeing Yes man punch him off the dam ragdolling Leonidas 300 style.
The NCR hit squads are no joke. I encountered them when I was just wandering around; killing them was a thrill. Some were using anti-tank rounds, others even had power armor.
No, no. He's right. Cazadors in New Vegas are hornet-looking SHITS that are incredibly fast, attack from ranges so far away you'd think it was a different time zone, and no matter how much resistance you're able to pop up it only takes one attack to severely poison you. And they attack in swarms. Death Claws are just basically Hunters from Resident Evil 1 if they were seven-feet tall and are about as dangerous, but are easily stopped by just crippling their legs and then gunning and running. With Cazadors, you have to kill them, and immediately take an antidote for the poisoned status you FOR SURE have been given.
I love New Vegas, there’s so much you can do even though it has one of the smallest fallout maps, you have so much room for different opportunities and there’s so much you can explore and do, I love that you’re also just a mailman who got shot in the head and decided to make history.
New Vegas is not only the first PC FPS I ever bought, it's also the game that introduced me to Steam, of which I now have over 100 games on. I have nearly 700 hours in New Vegas.
If you’re curious as to why some enemies just explode into a pile of limbs it’s because of a Perk called “Bloody Mess” or something where you get an overall 5% damage increase to all sources but with a chance to make targets a gory mess, which can make looting a bit tedious sometimes
My favorite way to play NV is femme fatale. Getting the Black Widow skill lets you handle Benny in ways not mentioned in this video. Like screwing him then suffocating him in his bed. On top of that I pretend to work for Caesar to just use my high Charisma and Medicine to kill him during an operation then talk my way out of punishment. Using there supplies until I’m stocked up enough to wipe them out. All while having Christ like Karma. It’s great.
I took yes man's deal, left house alive and removed both the NCR and Caesar's Legion. Funnily enough the group which was absorbed into the NCR because of the Legion was a good group who only defended the towns of the region from mutants and raiders. They were the "original" owners of the Mohave before House woke up when people were fighting over the power source he relied on. NCR and Legion destroyed a town beside the dam and both want the dam, the NCR probably to power their homes and the Legion to deactivate it, they are Neo-Luddites if that wasn't clear. NCR need a business partner they have to adhere to, they are pretty corrupt and badly run and need a reason to shape up but the Legion ain't it, those bunch of crazies will just strip the world of the last bit of knowledge it has held on to and what they desperately need is someone to make more G.e.c.k.s (Garden of Eden Creation Kits) and not some lunatics likely to destroy and they find which could be reverse engineered. My thought process is that if I was in charge of a region I would probably be pretty beneficial to the people and the future, while house was also positive in that he defended the whole city from the Nukes, he has clearly gone a bit crazy from isolation so I would keep him around as a Advisor. Since he would definitely know more about how things work then a random Courier. As for my DLC choice I nuked the Legion but saved the NCR. We definitely don't need a major slave empire in the southern united states. The NCR is much more reasonable.
I love when you siding with mister house and you supposed to defend president kimball, if you kill kimbal yourself and go to house he tell you wtf is wrong with you, to wich you reply "he wanted to make me pay taxes" and house response is "undestandable"
5:27 why not both? Being lord death of murder mountain so you can survive any battle and a charisma chad so you can bribe, extort or convince the npcs into giving you more items and caps
The moment he played the doc Michael’s clip I immediately went “now I take pride in my needlework, but you should take a look and tell me if I left anything outta place”
So, the reason House needed his chip in New Vegas, is because when the bombs dropped, he managed to shoot down the ICBMS heading towards the Mohave, for the most part, but in doing so his Main Computer system overloaded and put him in a coma til he woke up many many years later and took over and formed the Strip. When he did he was forced to awaken the securitons with the older less useful mark 1 OS, since the data for the MK 2 was corrupted on his mainframe.
Generally speaking, if you want to make the most powerful Courier you can, you're gonna wanna really stack Luck and Intelligence. If you have high Intelligence, it's pretty easy to max out every skill in the game.
Agility/Luck/Intelligence is a very good, well rounded way to get into the game with the ability to use most guns, and a large amount of skill points to quickly level up your skills. Also: Charisma can be just as fun as Guns. The writing in New Vegas is absolutely ASTRONOMICALLY good.
It's funny how with everything you can do in New Vegas, that you get a fictional charcter like Joshua Graham who is actually quoted for his lines by people who are religious. 😮
Part of the reason this game is so good is the vocal talent. Just to run through a few of them: - Doc Mitchell is voiced by Michael Hogan, who played Colonel Saul Tigh in Battlestar Galactica. He also voices General Tullius in Skyrim and Commander Bailey in Mass Effect - Benny (as others have pointed out) is voiced by Matthew Perry from Friends - Raul is voiced by Danny Trejo - Chief Hanlon is voiced by Kris Kristofferson - Arcade Gannon is voiced by Zachary Levy - Victor is voiced by William Sadler And this is also one of the first games that multiple members of Geek and Sundry/Critical Role worked on together: - Veronica Santiago is voiced by Felicia Day - Some of the robobrains are voiced by Wil Wheaton - Sam Reigel voiced a bunch of the ghoul characters - Liam O'Brien voiced Cachino, Pacer, and a bunch of NCR members - Laura Bailey voiced Julie Farkas and a bunch of other NPCs
So, two things: Thing 1: The Mysterious Stranger has been a regular occurance in the franchise since the beginning, and has several theories surrounding his existance. Some players believe he is an eldritchian being, others think he may be a time traveller. The gun Badger got is suppossedly one that belonged to the Stranger, as it gives off the same musical cues that occur when he shows up and leaves during VATS combat. And in Fallout 4, it turns characters other than the player have noticed him, as there is a detective that you can recruit that has been hunting the Stranger, and will take note of when he appears. Thing 2: In New Vegas, there is a neat little sidequest, involving bottlecaps marked with a blue star, that lead to an interesting story about a rival company to the in universe soda giant, Nuka Cola. The story for the rival company is told through various bits and bobs you find throughout a certain location, including a rusty, old robot.
Joshua was with the Legion but let them down with a certain loss. They covered him in pitch, set him on fire, threw him down a canyon, but he had things to live for. He considers the burning into a canyon his second baptism. One in water, and the other in fire where he did the most soul searching. And that's only the start of the fuel for his new objective. Thus the fire inside of him burns brighter than the fire on the outside. Initially he shrugs this off hoping for a better more quiet life with loved ones, only they would be slaughtered in the hunt for his head, hired by his old leader. Nothing but tragedy for our mormon tongued man, missing a lot of his skin.
Pretty sure Joshua Graham is voiced by Keith Szarabajka-who also voiced Dr Kyne in Dead Space and played a ton of bit roles in TV shows. Great and distinctive voice.
Old World Blues is great and funny, as there are former scientists that are now talking brains in jars. It's even funnier with the fact one of them speaks in RobCo code. Oh yeah, the one that's alone is a genius druggy making giant robot scorpions. You also have your own brain removed, then you talk to it. Talking to your brain is especially fun if you play as a female character. After all, you have your brain talking with a male voice module.
I loved your interactions and how chill you are. Just subscribed! Looking forward to your future content 🥳. I’d love to watch you play through this game. It’s a 10/10, and I can’t recommend it enough.
Mysterious Stranger deals really high damage, Miss Fortune deals low damage but stuns targets and blows up their grenades in their pockets if they have any.
The first fallout game I ever played and my favorite. Have done so many runs trying to get all the endings. Also Luck is so busted, you can literally win every hand of blackjack by doubling up and get kicked out of every casino from winning too much, if your luck is maxed at 10. If you pick wild wasteland expect lots of Monty Python jokes to appear, and also you can get the best pistol in the game through a wild wasteland encounter
In the beginning I half thought I was having Audio problems and that my headphones were going to explode, if it's something post produced specifically for youtube because I know the bots are ass, please use something else if at all possible. It feels like what a dog whistle would feel like for humans, at least for me, I can speak for no one else. Otherwise great vid 9/10

I mean, wasn't there a politician that did an ad that started with "I'm not a Witch", and everyone was like "Nobody said you were... but now we are questioning it" lol
This was a great video Chelzor and I highly recommend playing New Vegas, Fallout 3 and 4 if you get a chance. Also in Vegas you can get the cannibal perk and when you go to the ultra-luxe you get different dialogue, hope you have a great night.
Oh, I really wish he took a look at Old World Blues. That is an absolute goldmine of a DLC! It's a bunch of mad scientists who were working for the gov't making all kinds of weapons and other insane things. They put their brains in some robot bodies to survive the couple hundred years since everything went to hell, and slowly went MADDER. And, it gets way more fun to talk to them when you have 10 Intelligence, because you are smarter than they are. And, they extract your heart, spine, and BRAIN when you arrive. But don't worry, you can get them back. Though, you have to have a conversation with your own brain to convince it to return, first. AND FURTHERMORE, the toaster is the best character in the game. Yes, that's right, a sapient, talking toaster. Better than Joshua Graham. This guy has his priorities, and will not compromise them.
If yall thought badger playing fallout was wild, Wait till yall see Reggie over in fallout 4 with the “every gun shoots nukes” mod and “everything is turned into a car” mod
I argue that the NCR is the most fun faction if you like pissing people off because anyone can shoot a slaver but taxing him into bankruptcy is a whole new form of torture and people respect you for it because who’s going to defend a slave owner
5:40 I made a character during my NCR Playthrough named Cassius, and he ended up being my favorite Playthrough so when I went through the DLCs I used him, kicking me up to level 50 (max level for base game is 30, but you get 5 more every time you get a DLC). I maxed out almost every skill, I had all the strongest perks, I had all the best guns and rapidly realized Man the Mojave gets boring when not even Lanius can hurt you any more. I would hunt deathclaws with a Bowie Knife just to actually be able to take damage again, it was ridiculous. Lesson to learn: Don't become God, it gets boring.
That just happened to me. I went into Dead Wind Cavern and soloed all the deathclaws with the flare gun and riot shotgun on hotkeys. With the And Stay Back perk, every deathclaw was stuck on the floor burning and couldn't attack me. Just in case, I lined the floor with plasma mines as I went. If one managed to stand up and stop burning long enough to come toward me, I could retreat through the mine field. Deathclaw Promontory? Fat man with big kid mininukes. Anything else? One-shot ash pile with Hyperbreeder Alpha.

That's... Almost entirely wrong, actually. House _wasn't_ forewarned, he predicted the Great War over 15 years before it happened, and spent the vast majority of that time either personally inventing or paying others to develop the technologies he would need to recreate civilization after the end.
The securitron development wasn't hasty, nor based on his wealth and influence; he designed several aspects of them himself, in particular programming both the prototype and final OS. I believe it was stated somewhere that he also personally designed their self-repair systems, but don't quote me on that one.
The 200 year delay wasn't because he was waiting for it to pop up. He was in a coma for most of that due to system overloads, and sent out mercenaries to prospect for it shortly after he woke up and established contact with groups capable of doing so.
19:20 that is my favourite smug face.
I've seen many vtuber smug faces but this is my favourite.
Philippe has my favourite skill check in the game where you psycho analyse him about his childhood trauma and he has a mental breakdown
Ah yes Joshua Graham, the character SO WELL WRITTEN he made people go to church and adopt a religion in real life.
0:37 If you only ever play one Fallout game in your life let it be New Vegas
respectfully: stupid take.
anyone who plays fallout new vegas without having at least played fallout 2 first is doing themselves a disservice.
@@windhelmguard5295 Respectfully:Stupid take. While New Vegas is a continuation of Fallout 2, it's only PARTIALLY so, meaning you can fully enjoy it without having played ANY of the previous games.
I’ve tried his “Lord Death of Murder Mountain” build and it works REALLY way. You’ll leave alot of bodies
There’s no better way to play Fallout New Vegas than as a blundering idiot. Sub-brick intelligence for the win
For those that don’t know, having a 1 in intelligence unlocks the Dumb dialogue option. It allows ya to pass a lot of dialogue you otherwise wouldn’t just by being stupid
That or the way RTGame played it: Go all in on luck and sequence break the game to hell and back
ICE CREAM!
The big downside of course is that intelligence is tied to the amount of skill points you get when you level up.
"Are you a man of war, or of peace?"
Your answers when INT 2 or lower:
- "warm."
- "me pizza."
Having 10 intelligence for Old World Blues is pretty damn satisfying, though.
17:10 yes they had the missile launchers in them but didn't have the software to use them basically.
It's like a device that has a lot of features, but no manuals on how to use those features.
A nice thing that Badger didn't go into because of Runtime is that all 4 DLC are not only connected with each other in a progressing story, but are also canon to the main game.
In order of events, it goes
1. Honest Hearts: a job protecting a trade caravan going to Zion Valley goes awry and you join up with the Burned Man himself to save the native tribes of Dead Horses and Sorrows from an invading Salt Lake tribe called White Legs.
2. Old World Blues: a bunch of sentient brains in flying jars kidnapped you and surgically removed yoir brain, heart and spine and help them out in this gigantic crater of a research facility to get said organs back and leave (this one is my 2nd favorite of the bunch)
3. Dead Money: a manic Father Elijah of the Brotherhood of Steel captures you and four other people, strap bomb collars on all of you, and have you run through the Sierra Madre Casino and Resort to break into the living graveyard and get the treasure underneath. (This is my no.1)
4. Lonesome Road: a figure from your past draws you into the Divide, a disease ridden nuclear hellscape (especially compared to the actual nuclear hellscape you regularly traverse in), so that he can finally kill you for a past sin that costed BOTH OF YOU a home town and made the Divide what it is now.
And when you play it all in this order, it manages to merge seamlessly. Mostly, if you play to find everything, including random documents and audio logs.
It is a great game, despite how bad the bugs can get. For that, I can not recommend the Unofficial Patch enough. Barring that, there are modders trying to remake New Vegas in a FO4 mod.
I love new vegas because it does something the other fallout games don't See in conversations you have skill checks for various things. It isn't just one big "charisma" check, but you actually need to know what you are talking about. You want to convince a guy to supply you with TNT? You need a high enough skill in explosives. But with new vegas if you are going to fail the skill check then you can say some hilariously stupid things. Like telling someone you know how to disarm landmines by trying to pick them up very slowly.
Low intelligence checks are always the best.
RussianBadger's New Vegas video is what got me started on watching his stuff. This is gonna be gold.
The dude in the checkered suit is Mathew Perry. RIP, old friend.
2 seconds in, and every fallout fan is so used to Brahmin, when Chelzor was confused we all thought, "What, the statue?" because Brahmin are just kind of everywhere in Fallout. We don't see them, the same way nobody really sees other cars on the road. Like, yeah, we see them. But they don't mean anything beyond "Yep, there's a car there. Don't crash into them."
27:22 that's the laugh of a sociopath, and I should know............
Don't get parasocial with crazy.
43:40 Arthur Morgan from RDR2 and Meryl Silverburgh from MGS4. Great choices to depict the Mysterious Stranger and Miss Fortune! 😂
I highly suggest the Fallout Storyteller series. The voice actor behind the character recently passed away, and his work deserves more attention.
You'd be surprised by the familiar voice actors being in the game. Like Jason Marsden, Felicia Day, Zachery Levi, Rene Auberjonois, Danny Trejo, Dave Foley, Fred Tatasciore, Jason Spisak, Keith Szarabajka, Dave Fennoy, even Ron Perlman.
You should also check RussianBadger's Star Wars videos. Top notch comedy right there. :)
I made a beefed up melee build and fought Deathclaws with an axe by the time I reached the endgame.
Wow punchy man.
@@chelzorthedestroyer Anything is possible with enough drugs and cyborg implants
You can play how you like. However, to make character overpowered you need to focus on one playstyle instead of balanced. Every stat has extremely good benefits when max, but you have to sacrifice a few others like he did. You can beat the game with high enough charisma and never having to fight. Max intelligence can get you pass so many places and special science weapons. So there's really no bad stats, but it's recommended to at least max 1 stat out and focus on that playstyle.
Oh, nice, thanks for the advice.
I would like to point out
Shotguns are absolutely busted. There are perks you can select where you can basically stunlock the enemy and armor pierce with buckshot
These are the Stay Back and Shotgun Surgeon perks.
Really fun
Joshua Graham is basically Makoto Shihio from Rurouni Kenshin only he traded in his sword for a Bible and .45 Caliber pistol. And here's the crazy part, Badger doesn't get into how crazy the other three DLCs are. Old World Blues is just bonkers, one of the "villains" is Doctor Venture in all but name for god's sake. To not even get into Ulysses. Also willing to bet dollars to doughnuts that when Season 2 shows up either House or Yes Man will be declared the cannon ending of New Vegas.
If you'd be interested in more Fallout Lore in a fairly youtube/reaction friendly style I would highly recommend the ShoddyCast's "The Storyteller" series where they look at the lore from a mostly in universe perspective of a wandering historian and story teller within the fallout universe. The voice actor recently passed but it is a very good watch for the Fallout Universe.
You can just kill every person but this game has such great writing so its worth speaking to many of the npc
Sounds fun ^_^
2:10 its worse than that, he said pitch, which may be badger being wrong or the fallout lore not really knowing what pitch is, but pitch was thought to be a solid but its just such a viscous liquid that we couldnt tell, its billions of times more thick than water or honey if im remembering right, they started an experiment over 90 years ago where they drip pitch, and as of today, only 9 drops have happened, so that guy must have had a terrible time removing it.
Hot pitch, or tar.
Pitch is pine tree sap. You can warm it up to make a tarry oilly paste. It was used a lot to seal wooden ships to make them water tight.
Chelzor has been on fire with ALL of her reactions lately and i’m here for it!!
47:45 she just like me fr. I can't tell you how many hours I have in skyrim, but I can tell you how many times I've completed the main quest line. Once. And that wasn't even on my own save file.
6:34 - Oh yes, yes its a "bear" well a chinese bear to be more accurate LOL
One of the funniest final options still for me is telling yes man to throw Oliver off of the damn and you get a quick scene of seeing Yes man punch him off the dam ragdolling Leonidas 300 style.
This is Las Vegas!
The NCR hit squads are no joke. I encountered them when I was just wandering around; killing them was a thrill. Some were using anti-tank rounds, others even had power armor.
No, no. He's right. Cazadors in New Vegas are hornet-looking SHITS that are incredibly fast, attack from ranges so far away you'd think it was a different time zone, and no matter how much resistance you're able to pop up it only takes one attack to severely poison you. And they attack in swarms.
Death Claws are just basically Hunters from Resident Evil 1 if they were seven-feet tall and are about as dangerous, but are easily stopped by just crippling their legs and then gunning and running. With Cazadors, you have to kill them, and immediately take an antidote for the poisoned status you FOR SURE have been given.
I love New Vegas, there’s so much you can do even though it has one of the smallest fallout maps, you have so much room for different opportunities and there’s so much you can explore and do, I love that you’re also just a mailman who got shot in the head and decided to make history.
Please do Joshua Graham: this character makes people go back to church! It's awesome!
New Vegas is not only the first PC FPS I ever bought, it's also the game that introduced me to Steam, of which I now have over 100 games on. I have nearly 700 hours in New Vegas.
If you’re curious as to why some enemies just explode into a pile of limbs it’s because of a Perk called “Bloody Mess” or something where you get an overall 5% damage increase to all sources but with a chance to make targets a gory mess, which can make looting a bit tedious sometimes
The amount of fallout knowledge chelz is going to consume from the comments might fry her brain.
My favorite way to play NV is femme fatale. Getting the Black Widow skill lets you handle Benny in ways not mentioned in this video. Like screwing him then suffocating him in his bed. On top of that I pretend to work for Caesar to just use my high Charisma and Medicine to kill him during an operation then talk my way out of punishment. Using there supplies until I’m stocked up enough to wipe them out. All while having Christ like Karma. It’s great.
I took yes man's deal, left house alive and removed both the NCR and Caesar's Legion.
Funnily enough the group which was absorbed into the NCR because of the Legion was a good group who only defended the towns of the region from mutants and raiders. They were the "original" owners of the Mohave before House woke up when people were fighting over the power source he relied on. NCR and Legion destroyed a town beside the dam and both want the dam, the NCR probably to power their homes and the Legion to deactivate it, they are Neo-Luddites if that wasn't clear. NCR need a business partner they have to adhere to, they are pretty corrupt and badly run and need a reason to shape up but the Legion ain't it, those bunch of crazies will just strip the world of the last bit of knowledge it has held on to and what they desperately need is someone to make more G.e.c.k.s (Garden of Eden Creation Kits) and not some lunatics likely to destroy and they find which could be reverse engineered.
My thought process is that if I was in charge of a region I would probably be pretty beneficial to the people and the future, while house was also positive in that he defended the whole city from the Nukes, he has clearly gone a bit crazy from isolation so I would keep him around as a Advisor. Since he would definitely know more about how things work then a random Courier.
As for my DLC choice I nuked the Legion but saved the NCR. We definitely don't need a major slave empire in the southern united states. The NCR is much more reasonable.
I love when you siding with mister house and you supposed to defend president kimball, if you kill kimbal yourself and go to house he tell you wtf is wrong with you, to wich you reply "he wanted to make me pay taxes" and house response is "undestandable"
5:27 why not both? Being lord death of murder mountain so you can survive any battle and a charisma chad so you can bribe, extort or convince the npcs into giving you more items and caps
This is one of his best videos ever. One of the all time Russian Badger classics.
Several inaccuracies in this video, but it gets the overall flavor right.
I mean fair. He's just doing his own experience, not a researched deep dive.
The moment he played the doc Michael’s clip I immediately went “now I take pride in my needlework, but you should take a look and tell me if I left anything outta place”
The day after uploading, the presidential ass mission memes are relevant again for the second time in 2 months..
Benny's weapon Maria never jams. The most fun Shotgun Power fist. Also max explosive with Grenade machinegun.
22:42 I love watching vtubers react to the potato quote. Everytime a joy.
So, the reason House needed his chip in New Vegas, is because when the bombs dropped, he managed to shoot down the ICBMS heading towards the Mohave, for the most part, but in doing so his Main Computer system overloaded and put him in a coma til he woke up many many years later and took over and formed the Strip. When he did he was forced to awaken the securitons with the older less useful mark 1 OS, since the data for the MK 2 was corrupted on his mainframe.
Generally speaking, if you want to make the most powerful Courier you can, you're gonna wanna really stack Luck and Intelligence. If you have high Intelligence, it's pretty easy to max out every skill in the game.
Agility/Luck/Intelligence is a very good, well rounded way to get into the game with the ability to use most guns, and a large amount of skill points to quickly level up your skills.
Also: Charisma can be just as fun as Guns. The writing in New Vegas is absolutely ASTRONOMICALLY good.
It's funny how with everything you can do in New Vegas, that you get a fictional charcter like Joshua Graham who is actually quoted for his lines by people who are religious. 😮
His Star Wars Battlefront 2 videos should be watched next they’re so fun
Welcome to wasteland, Children!- Three dog
44:46 - Yes, very basic "you seems to need of some assist" type of random encounter, BUT you need to pick the "skill" up so it happens.
Part of the reason this game is so good is the vocal talent. Just to run through a few of them:
- Doc Mitchell is voiced by Michael Hogan, who played Colonel Saul Tigh in Battlestar Galactica. He also voices General Tullius in Skyrim and Commander Bailey in Mass Effect
- Benny (as others have pointed out) is voiced by Matthew Perry from Friends
- Raul is voiced by Danny Trejo
- Chief Hanlon is voiced by Kris Kristofferson
- Arcade Gannon is voiced by Zachary Levy
- Victor is voiced by William Sadler
And this is also one of the first games that multiple members of Geek and Sundry/Critical Role worked on together:
- Veronica Santiago is voiced by Felicia Day
- Some of the robobrains are voiced by Wil Wheaton
- Sam Reigel voiced a bunch of the ghoul characters
- Liam O'Brien voiced Cachino, Pacer, and a bunch of NCR members
- Laura Bailey voiced Julie Farkas and a bunch of other NPCs
Platinum drip always beats platinum chip
Gotta look good before ruling.
So, two things:
Thing 1: The Mysterious Stranger has been a regular occurance in the franchise since the beginning, and has several theories surrounding his existance. Some players believe he is an eldritchian being, others think he may be a time traveller. The gun Badger got is suppossedly one that belonged to the Stranger, as it gives off the same musical cues that occur when he shows up and leaves during VATS combat. And in Fallout 4, it turns characters other than the player have noticed him, as there is a detective that you can recruit that has been hunting the Stranger, and will take note of when he appears.
Thing 2: In New Vegas, there is a neat little sidequest, involving bottlecaps marked with a blue star, that lead to an interesting story about a rival company to the in universe soda giant, Nuka Cola. The story for the rival company is told through various bits and bobs you find throughout a certain location, including a rusty, old robot.
Joshua was with the Legion but let them down with a certain loss. They covered him in pitch, set him on fire, threw him down a canyon, but he had things to live for. He considers the burning into a canyon his second baptism. One in water, and the other in fire where he did the most soul searching. And that's only the start of the fuel for his new objective. Thus the fire inside of him burns brighter than the fire on the outside. Initially he shrugs this off hoping for a better more quiet life with loved ones, only they would be slaughtered in the hunt for his head, hired by his old leader. Nothing but tragedy for our mormon tongued man, missing a lot of his skin.
Pretty sure Joshua Graham is voiced by Keith Szarabajka-who also voiced Dr Kyne in Dead Space and played a ton of bit roles in TV shows.
Great and distinctive voice.
“Take drugs. Kill a bear.” 😂
46:10
"As a Californian, you can have it." 😆
What makes you unstoppable? Shotgun crit builds, lean into agility
Fun fact: (providing that no one has made the connection yet). The Voice actor who plays Mr.House, plays Odo from Star Trek Deep Space 9
Old World Blues is great and funny, as there are former scientists that are now talking brains in jars. It's even funnier with the fact one of them speaks in RobCo code. Oh yeah, the one that's alone is a genius druggy making giant robot scorpions. You also have your own brain removed, then you talk to it. Talking to your brain is especially fun if you play as a female character. After all, you have your brain talking with a male voice module.
I loved your interactions and how chill you are. Just subscribed! Looking forward to your future content 🥳.
I’d love to watch you play through this game. It’s a 10/10, and I can’t recommend it enough.
Mysterious Stranger deals really high damage, Miss Fortune deals low damage but stuns targets and blows up their grenades in their pockets if they have any.
The first fallout game I ever played and my favorite. Have done so many runs trying to get all the endings. Also Luck is so busted, you can literally win every hand of blackjack by doubling up and get kicked out of every casino from winning too much, if your luck is maxed at 10. If you pick wild wasteland expect lots of Monty Python jokes to appear, and also you can get the best pistol in the game through a wild wasteland encounter
8:27
“He’s about to not have a leg”
Uh, correction - he’s about to ONLY have a leg.
8:31 that was some good tracking and timing on her head movement
Cool video, I love russian badger's editing and humour!
Intelligence build, repair, medicine, and charisma. If you can't fix or craft it you can buy it nearly dirt cheap.
In the beginning I half thought I was having Audio problems and that my headphones were going to explode, if it's something post produced specifically for youtube because I know the bots are ass, please use something else if at all possible. It feels like what a dog whistle would feel like for humans, at least for me, I can speak for no one else. Otherwise great vid 9/10
Im glad that this franchise inspired Fallout Equestria
ITS JUST AS INSANE!
28:48 - It is amazing how you can do the same trick on social media these days since this game was relesed back in 2009 (- i think)
I saw the thumbnail and got so hyped! 🤣 Amazing choice!
I sadly spent 0 hours on this game, I need to play some now
The New Vegas video by UpIsNotJump is really good as well. He gets pretty elaborate with his sets and gags.
patroling the mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter
*courier points gun at Joshua Graham*
Joshua: Make the first shot count there won't be a second
*Me questioning my New Vegas Genocide run*
Me: but I'm the protagonist here!
....i got killed instantly 😂
this one might be my favorite RBadger vid
Ahem... welcome to the chaos, that is fallout.
I go 10 Int because that maxes out the skill points you get every level up.
My usual breakfast wrap of spinach tortilla, smoked gouda, mayo, spinach/lettuce/arugula mix, bbq sauce, smoked turkey, honey mustard, shredded cabbage and carrot, and spicy brown mustard, with a 32oz cup of cold water to start the day
“When people proactively scream at you ‘We’Re NoT CaNnIbAlS, wE sWeAr!’ You better believe they eat people” is probably my favorite joke in this video
I mean, wasn't there a politician that did an ad that started with "I'm not a Witch", and everyone was like "Nobody said you were... but now we are questioning it" lol
Especially considering that's she's technically telling the truth. They stopped being cannibals and the other guy wants them to go back
This was a great video Chelzor and I highly recommend playing New Vegas, Fallout 3 and 4 if you get a chance. Also in Vegas you can get the cannibal perk and when you go to the ultra-luxe you get different dialogue, hope you have a great night.
Oh, I really wish he took a look at Old World Blues. That is an absolute goldmine of a DLC!
It's a bunch of mad scientists who were working for the gov't making all kinds of weapons and other insane things. They put their brains in some robot bodies to survive the couple hundred years since everything went to hell, and slowly went MADDER. And, it gets way more fun to talk to them when you have 10 Intelligence, because you are smarter than they are.
And, they extract your heart, spine, and BRAIN when you arrive. But don't worry, you can get them back. Though, you have to have a conversation with your own brain to convince it to return, first.
AND FURTHERMORE, the toaster is the best character in the game. Yes, that's right, a sapient, talking toaster. Better than Joshua Graham. This guy has his priorities, and will not compromise them.
RAISINS!
Yes, Joshua goes hard...we can't expect God to do ALL the work.
If yall thought badger playing fallout was wild, Wait till yall see Reggie over in fallout 4 with the “every gun shoots nukes” mod and “everything is turned into a car” mod
The thing that kept me alive was love... Their love... God's love..
I argue that the NCR is the most fun faction if you like pissing people off because anyone can shoot a slaver but taxing him into bankruptcy is a whole new form of torture and people respect you for it because who’s going to defend a slave owner
You deserved that infinite Nade loop Brah.
5:40
I made a character during my NCR Playthrough named Cassius, and he ended up being my favorite Playthrough so when I went through the DLCs I used him, kicking me up to level 50 (max level for base game is 30, but you get 5 more every time you get a DLC). I maxed out almost every skill, I had all the strongest perks, I had all the best guns and rapidly realized
Man the Mojave gets boring when not even Lanius can hurt you any more. I would hunt deathclaws with a Bowie Knife just to actually be able to take damage again, it was ridiculous.
Lesson to learn: Don't become God, it gets boring.
That just happened to me. I went into Dead Wind Cavern and soloed all the deathclaws with the flare gun and riot shotgun on hotkeys. With the And Stay Back perk, every deathclaw was stuck on the floor burning and couldn't attack me. Just in case, I lined the floor with plasma mines as I went. If one managed to stand up and stop burning long enough to come toward me, I could retreat through the mine field.
Deathclaw Promontory? Fat man with big kid mininukes.
Anything else? One-shot ash pile with Hyperbreeder Alpha.
"The legion has slaves, crusifies people, and rapes women, but they are better than taxes."
-Russian Badger.
Only god knows how many times ive re-played new vegas.
