Really as big of a deal that is made about how Graham failed to the NCR. There should have been a challenge specifically for killing him with a Satchel Charge, dynamite, or other explosive.
Imagine if all of history played out like new Vegas. Thermopaly would play out like: Persians:”SPARTANS LAY DOWN YOUR WEAPONS” Spartans:”[45 speech] if you think about it we have the tactical advantage.” Persians:”[SUCCESS] k seems legit.” *Persians leave*
Speech 100 Persians! You think we would fight you with merely 100 Spartans!? No, in truth we have rallied all of sparta to ambush you in these very mountains! You do not know the terrain like we do and your force will be decimated in these mountains.
Spartans won't go through Democracy They're Sparta The ones who will use this trick are The Persians themselves like you can do to Legate Lanius at The 2nd Battle of Hoover Dam
right? it bothers me that he didn't know that ending. i discovered it myself rather quickly. the endings i didn't discover until much later was the khans and powder gangers allying, then going to the Northwest to become a mighty empire (if you have them ally with the Followers of the Apocalypse and convince them to leave Vegas when the war starts.)
I prefer scaring Legate Lanius by reminding him that even you're a Legate that doesn't mean you're not spared by Ceasar's wrath remember what happened to Joshua Graham after failing to capture Hover Dam
Honestly, Lanius is not a dumb man. He's patriotic and war-happy, but he can be reasoned with in his own way. The final option Oxhorn went over is honestly my favorite but all three are very valid points that would give a warlord (and probably the second Caesar) pause.
I prefer killing him with my main character because I call her the Terror of the West and its fitting for me to defeat the Terror of the East don't you think?

Thanks. Never read the letter. also: During the Second Battle of Hoover Dam, some Kings took it upon themselves to launch several attacks on NCR citizens and soldiers around Freeside. Mr. House looked on these actions favorably, seeing them as proof of The Kings' loyalty to New Vegas, and decided to leave them alone. They get to live.

I, on the other hand will be rolling dice or die for my choices rhroughout the game. Super excited for this. Thanks Oxhorn for reigniting the flame that is Fallout New Vegas!!!!!!!!!!!
tucker7976 so true. Since finding this channel I've started playing 3 and NV again. It's been so much fun and now with that dice rolling modification I think I'm gonna have a lot more fun.
tucker7976 it is great fun. It makes a good challenge, because you might land with a build that specs into weapons you're not comfortable using, and you have to adapt. You might also find new choices to quests you've never found before, simply because you couldn't take a speech check or a perk check. Have fun.
I always help the Boomers recover the B-29 because seeing that beauty of a plane, a symbol of American WWII might, bombing the Legion is a sight I never get tired of
I was certainly surprised that Gen. Oliver could be talked down in an agreeable manner. Never had the chance to explore that line of dialogue. One thing that can be said about House winning is that he's willing to co-exist and trade with the NCR while beating back The Legion.
7:58 House has skipped nickel-and-diming and gone straight for price-gouging - for the quantities of power and water that he'd be sending to California, the units would be (at least) gigawatt-hours and gigalitres of water. Trying to pay the rates House is demanding would bankrupt the NCR in fairly short order
@jeffshackleford3152 Rough guess, House thinks he can negotiate from a position of strength with both the NCR and Legion if he controls Hoover Dam and Lakr Meade. The trouble with that approach is that Ceasar will just send in the troops, assuming that he's still alive and the Legion hasn't imploded into civil war. In that situation, the NCR would be the best ally for House so weakening them too much would be a very bad idea.
That's why i love you Ox, i have completed New Vegas about 3-4 times, and yet you can make me watch the Story again. You are by far the best narriator on TH-cam and your content is awesome and totally worth the wait.
I never got to do a walk-through for Mr. House. I admire him a little more than I thought I would. But what he does to the Kings and to the Follower of the Apocalypse (which Oxhorn didn't cover here) leaves a sour taste in my mouth. House, for all his lofty visions for New Vegas, has rigid ideas that will stagnate and cripple it over time. He cannot conceive of a new direction for the people who actually live there. Despite his aversion to be considered a god, House sure does enjoy dressing his Families up like little dolls, forcing them into roles he's comfortable with. Any deviation will be met with scorn or worse. The Kings and the Followers will not conform. And it's quite telling that Veronica compares House to Father Elijah. With House comes the rigidness and the paranoia of the Old World corporations. Wasn't that the very thing that brought about the world of Fallout to begin with?
And thus a story reaches it's highest points, it's highest crescendo. We think back to the early stories, we think back to the DLC's Oxhorn has done. I realized on Old World Blues that this would come to an end. Eventually all the stories would be eaten up. But we can always come back for this, always come back and watch the amazing videos and ideas Oxhorn has given us. Let us honor Oxhorn's journey to giving us amazing stories and lore to immerse ourselves in. Thank you Oxhorn, for giving us this journey.
I just like to imagine that Mr. House has printouts ready for any occasion considering there's the surrender printout and printouts of his obituary were handed out if you killed him.
Damn. I remember when Oxhorn was doing fallout 4 without these fucking intros. How far he has improved is amazing adding more flare and doing a mod muster. Plus a detective (fills in the blanks and adds in ways to keep things canon) it's great. This intro is the best though
Theres another ending and that ending is good, hear me out. If you agree with the Kings to fight the NCR, Mr House will leave the Kings alone since he found their act towards the NCR to be unfavourable or helpful
Since the Second Battle of Hoover Dam plays a pivotal part in all endings, I was kind of expecting you to do all the routes and than a single episode about this where you discussed all options. Can't quite see how the ending of the other factions will work without this one.
There is another faction you can get help from during the battle at Hoover Dam that I haven't seen you mention yet. You should look into the personal quest of my favorite New Vegas companion, Arcade Gannon. :D Love your work Oxhorn, thanks.
16:17 Legate Lanius is one of, if not the best antagonist in Fallout History. He was not only a worthy and powerful opponent, but also a cunning war strategist and a wise man. He is willing to listen to reason and logic, he's not just some war hungry monster everyone portrayed him to be and in the end, he did what every other fallout antagonist never could, get my full respect. This epic showdown is an intense battle of wits or a similarly glorious clash of strength as cinematic as ever. He was as honorable as he was intimidating, I hate that you can't make your companions stand down while you duel Lanius (you can just send them home tho). If only this man was not raised in Caesar's Legion, he could've been of much use somewhere else. Him and Graham were such a waste in Caesar's hands. I really wished there was a wildcard ending where you can recruit Mojave's finest from brilliant scientists like Arcade and the Big MT Scientists to cunning and powerful strategists like Lanius and Graham to join a council of sorts to rule over the Mojave and maybe expand outwards, stabilizing the whole nation one day...
Awesome as always, Oxhorn :) I gotta say, I personally love the Mr. House quest because role-playing as the Dragon of Vegas to Mr. House's Big Bad is Awesome (Not to mention, keeping House Alive makes living in the coolest, tallest building in the game feel more organic and Awesome), but I gotta say, I hate that you can't be a pacifist in his route. Like if I wanted to be a Heroic Sidekick to the big man of Vegas and truly ensure the safety and happiness for All in the Mojave, like not committing genocide against the Brotherhood or allowing NCR to continue trade routes so that the roads are safe from raiders despite their low status. You know, I love New Vegas, and It's Soooo extensive I feel with just a few twinks, they could have made it possible, while not to be able to save everyone, like your companions for instance, but at least ensure the overall happiness, safety, and decency to all of the wastes, even those asshole Legions if possible. :)
I have a question, out of the 4 endings which one do you feel to be the cannon ending? I personally feel like House's Vegas to be the best/true end to New Vegas
I hope Ox also makes an "ultimate" ending show of New vegas, where The Courier gets ALL of the possible factions to join your side for the final battle against the Legion, among others: Khans (mercenaries on your side) Brotherhood (Knights/paladins on your side) Remnants (Vertibird with full assault team on your side) Boomers (Bomber support) NCR (duh) Would love to see his reactions to all the factions coming together in a united assault!
Fabulous man. I've played this game 100 times, and I learn a whole host of new things every time i watch one of these. Love the series, I hope you choose to do the Legion ending next - that's one I've never gone for personally.
RazielKallio lol I mean he's spoiling us as in he's being too good to us by giving us so many of them so quick. Not in terms of spoiling the story lol look up the definition of a spoiled child for example
Five caps her GALLON when the standard is ten caps per BOTTLE is an insanely generous deal, House is practically giving the water away. There's logic in it, he outprices the caravans and water merchants, NCR buys most of its water from Vegas, Vegas makes a killing off the sale, House uses that money to expand and rebuild the city. Ten years of this game being out and I just realized House's plan.
I don't think Caesar and Legate Lanius understand that the NCR and an unfeeling, unstoppable army of Securtitrons are out to kill them and the rest of the Legion. And the Boomers have a bomber too. This is probably the best ending for New Vegas. Legate Lanius: When I return, I- * Wave upon wave of Securitrons and NCR soldiers standing in the background * Legate Lanius: Oh...
I finished the game with mr house, with ncr and yes man that is the best final, but with the legion I can not, I can not have bad karma in fallout, my instinct always tells me it's good and good things will happen.
Yeah, I know that feeling. I can't create a bad karma character, at most I can do a neutral character with good karma tendencies so yeah, I've never sided with the Legion either.
@Anakin Skywalker The Legion may do that, but they would clear the feral Tribals, raiders wouldn't dare to attack legion caravans or any caravans at all, and the Legion would impose fear and would rule, as for Yes man, indendence doesn't often mean peace and freedom, it would be a total anarchy, New Vegas would fall, and more tribes and gangs would rise, the Mojave would be at war with itself every day, and not to say that there would be more slavery. I think the Yes Man ending would be the worst ending.
I see absolutely ZERO reasons to "talk Lanius down." In fact, a sneak critical or five to the head just as soon as he appears above us on the hill makes for much better strategy. With Caesar dead killing Lanius is the best way to ensure the Legion will crumble having effectively removed both the head AND the horns of the bull.
Thats what i did, i attacked the fort, then i went to dry wells and cleaned up the area and then nuked them in lonesome road, i then completely committed genocide in every single legion outpost and camp i found, i knew it wouldn’t affect it much in game, but it makes me think i crippled the army to a point where there were just soldiers but not in new vegas
Pretty much however there is still Lucius as well tho. If Caesar dies he becomes the missions giver so he’s pretty high up the totem pole and is able to command the legion tbf
I’ve always loved that in NV we can talk down the final boss character rather than resorting to the usual massive fights most games do. It really reminds me of classic Fallout and the way we can take out the Master with the information we can acquire throughout the story
I haven't even played any of the fallout games but you make it so exciting. I could tell you a lot about several characters in the games just from your videos. You are just a good storyteller and I hope you keep up the good work.
I'm very thankful that you post these videos. I don't have a lot of spare time for gaming, so I have only played through New Vegas three times, each time about two year apart. Whenever I play it, I cannot help but to side with Yes Man. It's nice to see what happens with the choices that I am unwilling to make, even in a game.
This was the hardest mission in the game for me I thought my troubles were over when I got past the dam but I was wrong. No body told the legate would be so hard I had to use 2 mini nukes but that did petty much nothen but hurt his leg it took me 15 times before I killed him. And mister house always reminded me of andrew Ryan from bioshock
For some reason unknown to me, I was completely overridden with emotions. It's an interesting ending...somewhat dark (though I have yet to see the Legion ending). I look forward to seeing more. :D
Sweet mother of Jesus, Ox, bro, NEVER stop making content man. I can't even begin to tell you how much I enjoy making things with your vids on (Currently making Lanius' armor for Dragon Con in Atlanta GA). You're easily in my top5 favorite creators. Bless you man.
I love the conversation with lanius for some reason I find so likable and wise and I always say that I look forward to our next meeting Guess it's that trible wisdom of his or something like that I don't know....
my grading for House's Vegas. (will try to do these for the other 3 too) Personal freedoms-high but subjected to the whim of House law and order-passable (just on the strip, 3 out of 3 families had criminal acts going on) Legal protections-low/subjected to the whim of House Economy-good, tourism with plans to diversify self sufficiency-none existent Equality-very low Industry-none existent currently, high priority Education-undefined, Followers provides some regards of house Resources Management-high, focused purely on plan for the future. Power Balance-none existent.
There are some similarities, libertarianism is about having very limited government intervention in people's lives and House would be leaving people alone for the most part. Still House is the reverse too, he as the government is also taking a lot of actions and holds a lot of control too.
"Personal freedoms-high but subjected to the whim of House" Meaning you have none. Saying, "I am allowed to live my life as long as the pityless dictator who views people only as numbers at his disposal sees me as useful and i don't get in his way" (which can be at any moment without me realizing, until I am evicted into the desert to die of thirst, or my vault is filled with concrete), that's not really saying much, is it? Ordinary people lived their lives under Hitler, Mao, Stalin and Saddam Hussein, too. Also, Libertarians love to talk about "liberty" and "freedoms", but they always means their own economic freedom, not everyone else's personal legal freedom. Mr. House is literally stealing the water from the Commons in a desert and then charging people for water by the gallon, because he has a robot army.
That's why i divided legal protections and personal freedom, yeah you are allowed those freedoms under house and he could take them away but at the time of NV he isn't and as such i give it high because it is at that time. On Libertarians, yeah, they just usually try to keep the government out of it, not the government itself taking part in them which was more my point.
Meanwhile, my Independent Vegas: Personal freedom: High. Law and order: High, as I always kill the Fiend leaders and purge the Powder Gangers after doing their quests. In reclaiming Helios One, the Brotherhood of Steel gets to patrol the trade routes from Novac on south. My Grand Armée de Securitrons keep the Mojave safe from raiders and what's left of the Legion. Ditto the holograms from the Sierra Madre because the only way to stop them is to disable the emitters. We've also got Raul (I always have him take up his guns again upon finishing his quest), Boone (he's now free to hunt all the Legionaries he wants without the Profligate generals lording over him), and Arcade (with his Enclave know-how) keeping the peace. Legal protections: High. Justice is swift, but fair. Obviously, we'll have none of the slavery or misogyny of the Legion. Ghouls and people with FEV are just as protected by the rule of law as non-mutated people. Economy: Good, based on tourism, agriculture, and electricity, with plans to diversify. Bighorner meat from Jacobstown and Goodsprings, gambling, prostitution, chems, and trade abound. If I nuked the Long 15, then I've always got the northern trade routes to work with, along with the Divide. And again, there's the vending machines from the Sierra Madre. Elijah did say he could use those to make a nation. Self-sufficiency: Good, thanks to both Hoover Dam and Helios One. Equality: Very high, as my Courier brings the richers to heel. And again, I have the Followers to help make the Mojave great again. Ditto the Think Tank, along with the technology from Big Mountain and the Sierra Madre. Industry: Tourism, with plans to diversify. Education: Plans to expand thanks to the Followers. Resource management: High, also focused on future plans while holding New Vegas. Power balance: Let's just say that my Courier has plans for a Nordic-style social democracy.
Captain Norwood He has to go through some end game stuff first because Arcade's companion quest has a direct effect on the Battle of Hoover Dam and the game ending
That was by far my favorite companion quest ever. Arcade seemed like a pacifist ideologue at first. Then I noticed he was insanely good with energy weapons. That was the first sign for me that this doctor was not what he seemed to be. The way the story unfolded and the awesome armor you get for completing it were all just awesome. Plus seeing the Enclave merc fools at the dam was just awesome
Matthew Rodriguez lol I still haven't finished the companion quest. I have Arcade and Ed ( eyebot) as my companions but I don't know how to start the quest. That's part of the reasons why I want oxhorn to make a video over it. :)
Just got this game and all it’s dlc for the first time! Can’t wait to enjoy the best of the fallout franchise! This series has really psyched me up for it.
Well, to be honest, I never actually considered Mr. House, I had mixed feelings about him and I was convinced that the NCR was the only "Good" and better option for the Mojave and that he was no more than a dictator. After watching this mini-series of videos about him and his quest line, I am seriously considering his ending and I see that despite some of the things he orders you to do (Like wiping out the BoS) He's not a bad man, he's actually a very interesting individual with some valid points, plus I always feel bad when I have to end his life in my gameplays. I also don't like the BoS a lot, they're ok in FO3 but not in NV or FO4, even though murder isn't the best solution, I'm not that sorry for them... more for Veronica, to be honest, she's a decent person. I'll be sure to side with him next time, also amazing video Ox! as always, top quality
Thank you Ox that was as thorough as only you can make it! I was surprised that the killing of Brotherhood of steel is locking House ending. That is a bit of downer but it's the beauty of New Vegas - there are no good choices. Thanks again! I enjoy older Fallouts so much!
I don't know if anyone said it already, but when House quips that he'll make the monorail run on time; it's a reference/joke that people used to make about the Nazis. It usually went something like: "that Hitler guy was a bad egg, but hey, at least the trains ran on time."
Personally, I am happy the Brotherhood gets destroyed. They helped in the destruction of the Enclave, forcing anyone who was left behind and didn't get caught, to give up on their mission and ways, starting a new life with integration. Now, the Brotherhood gets a bitter taste of what that loss is like, forced to give up *their* ways of the pre-war, and their technological greed, forced to stsrt a new life, and never be heard from, again. The post-war world has zero room for either the Enclave, or the Brotherhood. Both must disappear.
Legate lanius is metal, i dont agree with the legion on most things, but lanius always hit me as a man who knew honor of battle and walked what he talked, also he just came off as smarter than pretty much anyone in the legion include caeser
29:50 Man, that scene honestly was a bit creepy. Imagine being there, hearing Oliver talk about how House is nothing but a New Vegas tale when you turn around and see an intimidating army of sercuritrons appear as the smoke clears, weapons whirring to life and aimed at the threat, ensuring that House's words will be heard and enforced.

House, for all his lofty visions for New Vegas, has rigid ideas that will stagnate and cripple it over time. He cannot conceive of a new direction for the people who actually live there. Despite his aversion to be considered a god, House sure does enjoy dressing his Families up like little dolls, forcing them into roles he's comfortable with. Any deviation will be met with scorn or worse. The Kings and the Followers will not conform. And it's quite telling that Veronica compares House to Father Elijah.
With House comes the rigidness and the paranoia of the Old World corporations. Wasn't that the very thing that brought about the world of Fallout to begin with?
You were saving Arcade Gannon for the NCR series weren't you? Call it a hunch.
Werezilla I'm thinking Ceasar's run and for good reason
"The good news is that he won't be bitching about losing his -hand- honor if he can't breathe." - Mr. House if Oliver dies I think
And thus a story reaches it's highest points, it's highest crescendo. We think back to the early stories, we think back to the DLC's Oxhorn has done. I realized on Old World Blues that this would come to an end. Eventually all the stories would be eaten up. But we can always come back for this, always come back and watch the amazing videos and ideas Oxhorn has given us. Let us honor Oxhorn's journey to giving us amazing stories and lore to immerse ourselves in. Thank you Oxhorn, for giving us this journey.
You _do_ realize he's doing all the endings, right?
Yes I realize he's doing all the endings, I am just stating that this is the stories highest crescendo.
He's done only 1 video on fallout 1 or 2, so I wouldn't be too worried
I just like to imagine that Mr. House has printouts ready for any occasion considering there's the surrender printout and printouts of his obituary were handed out if you killed him.
Damn. I remember when Oxhorn was doing fallout 4 without these fucking intros. How far he has improved is amazing adding more flare and doing a mod muster. Plus a detective (fills in the blanks and adds in ways to keep things canon) it's great. This intro is the best though
13:58 😂😂
Legate Lanius: “Retribution”
Oxhorn: *Immediately guns him down.*
Lanius has such a badass voice!
I did this play thru my first time. I really liked the Howard Hughes references to Mr. House.
The Kings: *didn't declare war on the NCR*
Mr. House: So you have chosen death...
Theres another ending and that ending is good, hear me out. If you agree with the Kings to fight the NCR, Mr House will leave the Kings alone since he found their act towards the NCR to be unfavourable or helpful
@@SlyCooper1920 That's what I was trying to say. House won't massacre The Kings if they declare war on the NCR
just wanted to say i appreciate how well this video game series is put together, multiple povs in mind with great editing. Great job fr
I love how house basically said take your s!+?' and get out oh and heres the bill.
Since the Second Battle of Hoover Dam plays a pivotal part in all endings, I was kind of expecting you to do all the routes and than a single episode about this where you discussed all options. Can't quite see how the ending of the other factions will work without this one.
There is another faction you can get help from during the battle at Hoover Dam that I haven't seen you mention yet. You should look into the personal quest of my favorite New Vegas companion, Arcade Gannon. :D Love your work Oxhorn, thanks.
16:17
Legate Lanius is one of, if not the best antagonist in Fallout History. He was not only a worthy and powerful opponent, but also a cunning war strategist and a wise man. He is willing to listen to reason and logic, he's not just some war hungry monster everyone portrayed him to be and in the end, he did what every other fallout antagonist never could, get my full respect.
This epic showdown is an intense battle of wits or a similarly glorious clash of strength as cinematic as ever. He was as honorable as he was intimidating, I hate that you can't make your companions stand down while you duel Lanius (you can just send them home tho).
If only this man was not raised in Caesar's Legion, he could've been of much use somewhere else. Him and Graham were such a waste in Caesar's hands. I really wished there was a wildcard ending where you can recruit Mojave's finest from brilliant scientists like Arcade and the Big MT Scientists to cunning and powerful strategists like Lanius and Graham to join a council of sorts to rule over the Mojave and maybe expand outwards, stabilizing the whole nation one day...
Nah thats Frank Horrigan
Lanius is HIM
I woke up at 6 in the morning waiting for this then i get distracted from your other video's. Dam you and your great Series
Talking down the legate by Barter checks is one of the reasons I love this game so goddamned much. What a beautiful set of dialogue
Awesome as always, Oxhorn :) I gotta say, I personally love the Mr. House quest because role-playing as the Dragon of Vegas to Mr. House's Big Bad is Awesome (Not to mention, keeping House Alive makes living in the coolest, tallest building in the game feel more organic and Awesome), but I gotta say, I hate that you can't be a pacifist in his route. Like if I wanted to be a Heroic Sidekick to the big man of Vegas and truly ensure the safety and happiness for All in the Mojave, like not committing genocide against the Brotherhood or allowing NCR to continue trade routes so that the roads are safe from raiders despite their low status. You know, I love New Vegas, and It's Soooo extensive I feel with just a few twinks, they could have made it possible, while not to be able to save everyone, like your companions for instance, but at least ensure the overall happiness, safety, and decency to all of the wastes, even those asshole Legions if possible. :)
the speed at which this man reloaded during the slo mo with legate then it spedup was too funny
I do like how Mr House rebuilds the long lost civilization that once was the great metropolis of pre-war fallout
Metropolis? Vegas? Have you been there? I think the apocalypse version is better already
This series was amazing. The intro was probably one of my favourite so far. I can’t wait for the next series.
I have a question, out of the 4 endings which one do you feel to be the cannon ending?
I personally feel like House's Vegas to be the best/true end to New Vegas
I think it’s cannon too. It just makes sense 😂
I hope Ox also makes an "ultimate" ending show of New vegas, where The Courier gets ALL of the possible factions to join your side for the final battle against the Legion, among others:
Khans (mercenaries on your side)
Brotherhood (Knights/paladins on your side)
Remnants (Vertibird with full assault team on your side)
Boomers (Bomber support)
NCR (duh)
Would love to see his reactions to all the factions coming together in a united assault!
Mr. House making the trains run on time? Heh. Never noticed that little comment before. Always figured Sawyer didn't care for Mr. House.
*P A S G H E T T I*
Fabulous man. I've played this game 100 times, and I learn a whole host of new things every time i watch one of these. Love the series, I hope you choose to do the Legion ending next - that's one I've never gone for personally.
You're spoiling us with all these videos man!
Dara Byrne then maybe you shouldn't watch these videos if you don't want spoilers
RazielKallio lol I mean he's spoiling us as in he's being too good to us by giving us so many of them so quick. Not in terms of spoiling the story lol look up the definition of a spoiled child for example
My favorite is House’s letter signed “Cordially” lol
Thanks Ox! Always happy to see a notification from you :D
Thank you R!
Five caps her GALLON when the standard is ten caps per BOTTLE is an insanely generous deal, House is practically giving the water away. There's logic in it, he outprices the caravans and water merchants, NCR buys most of its water from Vegas, Vegas makes a killing off the sale, House uses that money to expand and rebuild the city. Ten years of this game being out and I just realized House's plan.
I don't think Caesar and Legate Lanius understand that the NCR and an unfeeling, unstoppable army of Securtitrons are out to kill them and the rest of the Legion. And the Boomers have a bomber too. This is probably the best ending for New Vegas.
Legate Lanius: When I return, I-
* Wave upon wave of Securitrons and NCR soldiers standing in the background *
Legate Lanius: Oh...
This series is so well-done. Can’t wait for the next in this series.
I finished the game with mr house, with ncr and yes man that is the best final, but with the legion I can not, I can not have bad karma in fallout, my instinct always tells me it's good and good things will happen.
Yeah, I know that feeling. I can't create a bad karma character, at most I can do a neutral character with good karma tendencies so yeah, I've never sided with the Legion either.
henrique miguel you can play legion with good karma.
In my opinion, Yes Man is the worst ending.
@Anakin Skywalker The Legion may do that, but they would clear the feral Tribals, raiders wouldn't dare to attack legion caravans or any caravans at all, and the Legion would impose fear and would rule, as for Yes man, indendence doesn't often mean peace and freedom, it would be a total anarchy, New Vegas would fall, and more tribes and gangs would rise, the Mojave would be at war with itself every day, and not to say that there would be more slavery. I think the Yes Man ending would be the worst ending.
I've played this through so many times but I've never seen the battle at night, it's frickin' beautiful
I see absolutely ZERO reasons to "talk Lanius down." In fact, a sneak critical or five to the head just as soon as he appears above us on the hill makes for much better strategy. With Caesar dead killing Lanius is the best way to ensure the Legion will crumble having effectively removed both the head AND the horns of the bull.
Thats what i did, i attacked the fort, then i went to dry wells and cleaned up the area and then nuked them in lonesome road, i then completely committed genocide in every single legion outpost and camp i found, i knew it wouldn’t affect it much in game, but it makes me think i crippled the army to a point where there were just soldiers but not in new vegas
Pretty much however there is still Lucius as well tho. If Caesar dies he becomes the missions giver so he’s pretty high up the totem pole and is able to command the legion tbf
Oxhorn you helped cure my depression your world of War craft videos did when you started playing fallout it was the best day of my life
I hope that "next DLC" is Mothership Zeta
Donovan Moggio, Bound to be, Lonesome Road is complete and Broken Steel is endgame DLC, which means Mothership Zeta, here we come!
It undoubtably is with process of elimination.
Same here bud. Definitely one of my favourite dlc's. And to have it played through by Oxhorn? It will be truly awesome. :)
I'm going to be so happy when it happens!!!!!
I’ve always loved that in NV we can talk down the final boss character rather than resorting to the usual massive fights most games do. It really reminds me of classic Fallout and the way we can take out the Master with the information we can acquire throughout the story
Did I miss something or you haven't made a video about Arcade yet? He's companion quest can alter the final fight after all.
I haven't even played any of the fallout games but you make it so exciting. I could tell you a lot about several characters in the games just from your videos. You are just a good storyteller and I hope you keep up the good work.
How did that securitron get up the ladder in the tower?
Radioactive Element Or fit in the elevator? Magic! Shhh...
Radioactive Element BIG Wheel Spidertruckmod.
The claws could fit inside the ladder's rungs, don't know if the arm would be strong enough though
Fuckin god
It rocket jumped!
I like how when talking to lanius it acts like a therapy session when he's bringing up everything
0:54 "To keep Vegas *L* *I* *T* 🔥
I'm very thankful that you post these videos. I don't have a lot of spare time for gaming, so I have only played through New Vegas three times, each time about two year apart. Whenever I play it, I cannot help but to side with Yes Man. It's nice to see what happens with the choices that I am unwilling to make, even in a game.
This was the hardest mission in the game for me I thought my troubles were over when I got past the dam but I was wrong. No body told the legate would be so hard I had to use 2 mini nukes but that did petty much nothen but hurt his leg it took me 15 times before I killed him. And mister house always reminded me of andrew Ryan from bioshock
I really love the opening for this series and the music used is perfect for it
The moment when you first see the boomers coming over the horizon after all your work. I'd pay to relive that moment
Thank you oxhorn for making videos it helped me understand fallout and made me interested in fallout lore.
For some reason unknown to me, I was completely overridden with emotions. It's an interesting ending...somewhat dark (though I have yet to see the Legion ending). I look forward to seeing more. :D
Sweet mother of Jesus, Ox, bro, NEVER stop making content man.
I can't even begin to tell you how much I enjoy making things with your vids on (Currently making Lanius' armor for Dragon Con in Atlanta GA). You're easily in my top5 favorite creators. Bless you man.
I always pop a ton of drugs before the Lanius fight. Makes it WAY more fun!
Real life or in-game?
Be careful
Your videos are what I like forward to in my day, you got me into new vegas. That game changed my taste in music AND games.
I love the conversation with lanius for some reason I find so likable and wise and I always say that I look forward to our next meeting
Guess it's that trible wisdom of his or something like that
I don't know....
As always, a great series and fully thorough. Stellar work Ox
my grading for House's Vegas. (will try to do these for the other 3 too)
Personal freedoms-high but subjected to the whim of House
law and order-passable (just on the strip, 3 out of 3 families had criminal acts going on)
Legal protections-low/subjected to the whim of House
Economy-good, tourism with plans to diversify
self sufficiency-none existent
Equality-very low
Industry-none existent currently, high priority
Education-undefined, Followers provides some regards of house
Resources Management-high, focused purely on plan for the future.
Power Balance-none existent.
house's Vegas reminds me of Andrew Ryan's Rapture
There are some similarities, libertarianism is about having very limited government intervention in people's lives and House would be leaving people alone for the most part.
Still House is the reverse too, he as the government is also taking a lot of actions and holds a lot of control too.
"Personal freedoms-high but subjected to the whim of House"
Meaning you have none. Saying, "I am allowed to live my life as long as the pityless dictator who views people only as numbers at his disposal sees me as useful and i don't get in his way" (which can be at any moment without me realizing, until I am evicted into the desert to die of thirst, or my vault is filled with concrete), that's not really saying much, is it? Ordinary people lived their lives under Hitler, Mao, Stalin and Saddam Hussein, too. Also, Libertarians love to talk about "liberty" and "freedoms", but they always means their own economic freedom, not everyone else's personal legal freedom. Mr. House is literally stealing the water from the Commons in a desert and then charging people for water by the gallon, because he has a robot army.
That's why i divided legal protections and personal freedom, yeah you are allowed those freedoms under house and he could take them away but at the time of NV he isn't and as such i give it high because it is at that time.
On Libertarians, yeah, they just usually try to keep the government out of it, not the government itself taking part in them which was more my point.
Meanwhile, my Independent Vegas:
Personal freedom: High.
Law and order: High, as I always kill the Fiend leaders and purge the Powder Gangers after doing their quests. In reclaiming Helios One, the Brotherhood of Steel gets to patrol the trade routes from Novac on south. My Grand Armée de Securitrons keep the Mojave safe from raiders and what's left of the Legion. Ditto the holograms from the Sierra Madre because the only way to stop them is to disable the emitters. We've also got Raul (I always have him take up his guns again upon finishing his quest), Boone (he's now free to hunt all the Legionaries he wants without the Profligate generals lording over him), and Arcade (with his Enclave know-how) keeping the peace.
Legal protections: High. Justice is swift, but fair. Obviously, we'll have none of the slavery or misogyny of the Legion. Ghouls and people with FEV are just as protected by the rule of law as non-mutated people.
Economy: Good, based on tourism, agriculture, and electricity, with plans to diversify. Bighorner meat from Jacobstown and Goodsprings, gambling, prostitution, chems, and trade abound. If I nuked the Long 15, then I've always got the northern trade routes to work with, along with the Divide. And again, there's the vending machines from the Sierra Madre. Elijah did say he could use those to make a nation.
Self-sufficiency: Good, thanks to both Hoover Dam and Helios One.
Equality: Very high, as my Courier brings the richers to heel. And again, I have the Followers to help make the Mojave great again. Ditto the Think Tank, along with the technology from Big Mountain and the Sierra Madre.
Industry: Tourism, with plans to diversify.
Education: Plans to expand thanks to the Followers.
Resource management: High, also focused on future plans while holding New Vegas.
Power balance: Let's just say that my Courier has plans for a Nordic-style social democracy.
Man you make me replay this game again it give me back some memories
13:11 - 13:13 Nopenopenopenopenopenope SOOOOOmuchnope.
Never thought I will get a chuckle out of Legate Lanius. Talk about having a Leg day.
I love how dramatic you made the music in the beginning I. Love it
Like if Oxhorn should do a video over Arcade and the Enclave of the Mojave
Captain Norwood YES
Captain Norwood He has to go through some end game stuff first because Arcade's companion quest has a direct effect on the Battle of Hoover Dam and the game ending
That was by far my favorite companion quest ever. Arcade seemed like a pacifist ideologue at first. Then I noticed he was insanely good with energy weapons. That was the first sign for me that this doctor was not what he seemed to be. The way the story unfolded and the awesome armor you get for completing it were all just awesome. Plus seeing the Enclave merc fools at the dam was just awesome
Matthew Rodriguez Okay am just saying it would be a good video( I also haven't went threw the companion quest and I love his walkthroughs). :)
Matthew Rodriguez lol I still haven't finished the companion quest. I have Arcade and Ed ( eyebot) as my companions but I don't know how to start the quest. That's part of the reasons why I want oxhorn to make a video over it.
:)
Just got this game and all it’s dlc for the first time! Can’t wait to enjoy the best of the fallout franchise! This series has really psyched me up for it.
Just got notification. Already 50 views and 8 comments.
my favorite series yet, nice one Ox
It’s the good shit right here
An excellent series. Really can't wait for the next series to start.
Nice one Oxhorn. 10/10 buddy 👍👍
Well, to be honest, I never actually considered Mr. House, I had mixed feelings about him and I was convinced that the NCR was the only "Good" and better option for the Mojave and that he was no more than a dictator. After watching this mini-series of videos about him and his quest line, I am seriously considering his ending and I see that despite some of the things he orders you to do (Like wiping out the BoS) He's not a bad man, he's actually a very interesting individual with some valid points, plus I always feel bad when I have to end his life in my gameplays.
I also don't like the BoS a lot, they're ok in FO3 but not in NV or FO4, even though murder isn't the best solution, I'm not that sorry for them... more for Veronica, to be honest, she's a decent person.
I'll be sure to side with him next time, also amazing video Ox! as always, top quality
Lanius has the single best voice acting in all of Fallout series. All of them, from 1 to 76. Absolute mastery.
The intro does a spectacular job of showing that Vegas isn't at all what it seems. If you think about it the game is actually really dark.
Snazzy Feathers it is, the game has cannibalism, rape, pedophiliac, and slavery
Thank you Ox that was as thorough as only you can make it! I was surprised that the killing of Brotherhood of steel is locking House ending. That is a bit of downer but it's the beauty of New Vegas - there are no good choices. Thanks again! I enjoy older Fallouts so much!
That intro is 👌
I don't know if anyone said it already, but when House quips that he'll make the monorail run on time; it's a reference/joke that people used to make about the Nazis. It usually went something like: "that Hitler guy was a bad egg, but hey, at least the trains ran on time."
Personally, I am happy the Brotherhood gets destroyed. They helped in the destruction of the Enclave, forcing anyone who was left behind and didn't get caught, to give up on their mission and ways, starting a new life with integration.
Now, the Brotherhood gets a bitter taste of what that loss is like, forced to give up *their* ways of the pre-war, and their technological greed, forced to stsrt a new life, and never be heard from, again.
The post-war world has zero room for either the Enclave, or the Brotherhood. Both must disappear.
I love how Oliver said "The fuck does that mean?!" To "Oh here it is."
That was beautiful I love every single second houses amazing you are amazing
Ox that intro is pure gold.
How lucky can one guy be?
I killed him after he killed me
Like the fella' once said
Ain't that a shot in the head?
*Ain't that a shot in the head?*
Haha good one!
"I will make a cape of your skin and keep your skull at my side so you can watch the west fall" Lanius has the RAWEST FUCKING DIALOGUE I
Legate lanius is metal, i dont agree with the legion on most things, but lanius always hit me as a man who knew honor of battle and walked what he talked, also he just came off as smarter than pretty much anyone in the legion include caeser
29:50 Man, that scene honestly was a bit creepy. Imagine being there, hearing Oliver talk about how House is nothing but a New Vegas tale when you turn around and see an intimidating army of sercuritrons appear as the smoke clears, weapons whirring to life and aimed at the threat, ensuring that House's words will be heard and enforced.
