She looks damn good for a 37 year old alcoholic

Honestly, almost all the companions in New Vegas are great but Cass and Boone are pretty much tied for my absolute favorites.

"That is our boss, Alice McLafferty. She is dead. She has been lying there dead for three days, no one has done a thing. Not moved her, not looked into her death, not even replaced her with a temporary appointee. For the last three days, the highest ranking official in our trading post, has been a dead lady."

Oxhorn, just in case you didn't know: Cass's dialogue during the drinking contest changes depending on your character's END level. Less than 7, you get the dialogue you got. 7 or 8, you hold your own, but she still beats you. Over 8, you *trounce* her, and she concedes defeat.

" Now who do we know who likes to use energy weapons..." *Looks right at silver rush billboard*

One thing you should've covered is the cut content where, if you were playing a male Courier there were plans that you could get drunk and wake up at the Kings married to Cass. That would've been hilarious, and it's also part of the reason why she flirts with the Courier so much.

25:53 "If we successfully kill her from stealth we don't lose reputation with the NCR and gain positive karma.." Cass immediately shouts while your trying to be stealthy in a room full of sleeping Crimson Caravaners

Cass is always my go-to companion when I do a run-through of New Vegas.. Raul has a more useful perk if you talk him into it during Old School Ghoul (and he's voiced by Danny fuckin' Trejo as an added bonus) but I always end up back with Cass. What can I say, I got a thing for redheads...

"Shhh, we're hunting shitheads" By far one of my favorite lines in New Vegas

I swear every male character in New Vegas is voiced by Liam O'brien. Not complaining at all...

21:27 "Now who do we know who likes to use energy weapons?" >Stares at Silver Rush billboard

Put down Gloria, rat out Alice, steal Gun Runners Schematics. After NCR blackmails Crimsons and Graffs into better deal for themselves, Alice and what remains of Van Graffs are obliterated by Gun Runners for that bloody justice. Oh the sweetest outcome. Villains dead, NCR getting stronger for it~

"Now, who do we know who likes to use energy weapons?" *looks at the Silver Rush billboard* lol

Rose of Sharon Cassidy born 2244, Ceasar's Legion came into being in 2247. Whatvever her mother might have been fleeing, it wasn't the Legion.

I'm calling bullshit no way Cass is 37

Whens the lore video on Long Dick Johnson?

"What the hell is a fish?" had my dead from laughing

Oxhorn, you forgot to mention that the drinking contest is based on your endurance stat. If you have high endurance, you can out drink Cass

Rose of Sharon Cassidy... that's the most beautiful name I've ever heard in my entire life.

To be fair: Cass could have read about the wizard of oz in the book, and never actually have seen the film.

I love Cass. I wanna give her a hug, tell her everything will be OK, and then drink some Whisky together.

Cass sums up what its like to be a modern American, "I dont really like everything we do but Id take up arms in their defense"

Characters are so much more advanced and well written then Fallout 4. Nice video thanks for the nostalgia.

so is Long Dick a real cannon character or wat

Lol *shoots guy in the street* "that hurt me just watchin' it." The Kings xD

That failed assassination attempt on Alice though. I laughed so hard, especially since it was all so dramatic and shit, then you went and done goofed

When you crouched to aim at the Legion Assassins, for a second I swear I thought you had just dropped down to check out Cass' ass, lol. In seriousness, I like Cass, she's my second favorite companion. I like Veronica a bit more, but Cass is just hilarious. One of her lines when you drop into stealth, "Be quiet, we're hunting shitheads," is one of my favorite lines in the game.

My first time playing this game, and thus doing this quest, I tried to solve most things as peacefully as I could, p much the only faction that hated me was the Legion, as to be expected. For Cass' quest, I gathered the evidence and turned both the Crimson Caravan and the Van Graffs to the NCR and, even tho I felt like I had accomplished nothing, it was the right thing to do. Later on, (at the time I didn't know if that's how things were supposed to go, I thought my game was bugged or something) I was walking into Freeside with Cass and the Van Graff's thugs became hostile toward us. All their thugs, including the guy shouting outside and the door guards, ran out of the Silver Rush into the street in front of the King's building and started attacking us even tho we were nowhere close to them, hell, I hadn't even done anything to trigger them. I hadn't properly saved in a while so there was no turning back, on top of that, I was also working for Mr. House and since I had already killed the Omertas (trying to protect The Strip) before getting The House Always Wins, I immediately failed the quest Don't Tread with the Bear, which threw everything I had accomplished with the NCR down the drain. Honestly, I was p salty that all of this had happened without me being able to do anything about, I kinda felt that all the favors that I had done for these people were forgotten in a matter of seconds, so I said "Fuck the NCR, fuck Mr. House, fuck doing it the peaceful way." and ended up murdering the entire Crimson Caravan along with the Van Graffs, plus the NCR troopers on the Strip but to be fair that was on self-defense. I lost tons of karma and tons of reputation with the factions including the Strip and Goodsprings, but damn, I finally felt real satisfaction. That's how serial killers and mass murderers are born HAHAHA.

I'm really excited for an Arcade Gannon video, holy crap. I love that guy

The reason i love this companion is her dialogue is so well written and acted. The way she described the NCR genuinely made me laugh out loud the first time i heard it. Memories :>

21:27 OXhorn: "Now who do we know that like's to use energy weapons?" subtle Oxhorn, real subtle

Wow... Oxhorn does better voice acting than 95% of the people in Bethesda open world games.

Who else specializes in energy weapons.. *stares at silver rush billboard* *turns away abruptly* got a laugh out of that

Ah the bunkbed moved it jumped in my way." Oxhorn 2017 best line ever

The drinking contest dialogue changes a bit depending on your endurance stat. Anything less than 7, and you'll lose horribly. 7 or 8, and you'll put up a good fight. 9 or 10 and you manage to successfully outdrink an alcoholic.

Dang Cass is older than the Courier by 1 year. You can estimate the Couriers age if you talk to the Lonesome Drifter with the Lady Killer perk. The courier got a woman pregnant in Utah at 17 or so, so now the child is 18 when the Courier asks, so 18+17=35 or 36.

Cass is hot So is Veronica Let's get together and salvage the bar room in the Pre-War Space Center

_cASS IS BEST COMPANION_ *IN MY OPINION*

I love Cass. I totally would have married her if the mod remained in the game.

I love Cass, shes a big party to adventure with. Personally i prefer doing the Calm Heart route, as i feel it gives her more closure.

*Give me that paper. Ill put my name to it*

did anyone notice that she has the sunset sarsparilla deputy star?

I think Cass is like the "Nick Valentine" of New Vegas in regards to quality of companion, not only are her perks cool, but she's possibly one of the most interesting characters in NV because we all know how freakin awesome nick valentine is.

Wtf Cass is 37?

I ran out of "My city" Memes for new Vegas

i could be wrong but in fallout 4 the lack of swearing apart from bitch, bastard and shit never really got peoples points across, its the post apocalypse why is everyone so pg13 ?!

The fallout series (I unfortunately never played 1 or 2) is such a master piece of a series.

Cass was my follower of choice back when I played NV for the first time. I was on the quest working for the Silver Rush energy weapon guys and they tried to make me kill her. Ended up chatting to her and what the heck, I just couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger. So we burnt that laser shop to the ground and stole their everything.

The best female companion in the game.

I did a chicken way to do the van graff Mission 1. do bird of a feather 2. let the guy in that says he needs to fix his revolver 3. loot

Courier: RAAAAA Oxhorn: We've successfully killed her with stealth...

1:00:32 no Cass, this is the courier you’re talking to. Hope they court him politely, or there’s no safe place in the mojave for them.

fallout new vegas and falllout 4 sold me on the series. both because of companions. Its nice to have someone to share your experiences with in the game and i think fallout 4 did a good job of that with the companions reacting to the locations you visit and the choices you make. like when you go to the witchcraft museum with the deathclaw in it, and for example, nick valentine would say something like "im guessing its not a mole rat"

Oxhorn walks into a bar with 60 bottles of whisky. "Alright, let's do this"

Can you use Terrifying presence on the Van Graffs?

It would have been a good twist to introduce Rose to Boone and see that happen in special story possibly named "Hit me with your best shot..". I loved playing this game with Rose as a companion and learning her story really made me feel good, just like that of Joshua Graham, whose spiritual comments are worth noting in a lofty way.

50:23 If you have high enough intelligence you can say "I know what a fish is. Do *you* know what a fish is?". (But her answer doesn't change).

I always like to imagine that Cass and the Courier headed East following the battle of Hoover Dam, maybe starting their own caravan company and finding new trading partners for an independent Vegas. Or maybe she won't want to ever see a caravan again, but just want to be as far away from the NCR and the Mojave as possible.

A moving bunk bed **Cue wild wasteland perk sound** (What I wished happened)

The CORRECT way to do Cass's quest: Get the evidence from both Gloria and Alice and turn it in to Ranger Jackson. Cass gets the calm heart perk which increases her health. This turns the Van Grafs hostile so the next time you go to Freeside the idiot cryer attacks you which gets Simon to attack you which causes all the guards to pile out of the Silver Rush to help Simon so you can kill every guard out in the street which is way easier. Now just go into the Silver Rush and kill Gloria and her jerkass brother. Cass will get a little pissy here and tell you to go finish off Alice, just stealth kill Alice and Cass gets the hand of vengeance perk which increases her damage. There are NO downsides to doing this, Cass gets both perks and you still get the "good" ending where the NCR punishes the Van Graffs and the Crimson Caravan.

She was my favorite companion. Added such character to the game.

Cass has a lot of dialogue which i enjoy, it's not very fun when you got a quiet companion. Boone is cool but you got to work for those talks. Veronica is great, but mostly it's about brotherhood. Ed-E is awesome but i can't get much conversation with his beeps.

I love how you roleplay the conversations. It makes it a great listen. I like to play these while I'm roaming the Mojave. So much well done.

You're voice is the butter of the gods

The other factions can't build a civilization because the keep getting beat up and pushed into a corner by legion ncr and any other group

I'm sick in my bed and just watched your special on the casino DLC. You kept my spirit up. I hope to see all DLC for NV covered, you do it better than anyone. Keep it up ❤️

I actually like her and Veronica. They were my two favorite human companions.

I love Cass, easily my favorite New Vegas companion. Her father was a great friend of mine, and saved my hide several times. I've played Fallout 2 to completion about 15 times, and I've only done it without Cassidy twice. You could do an entire video about him. Hell, a good friend of mine named his first born after Cassidy! I'm not kidding.

bro I've been binging all your new vegas videos and have been waiting for more since i watched all the other ones keep up the good work man enjoying the content

I'm attracted to Cass

BAHAHAHA! In Fallout 2 Cassidy makes FUN of tribals. He could also use a spear really well, (though he didn't like to admit it.). To hear Cass say her Mom was a tribal is fucking HILARIOUS.

I love the mod that let's you bring all the companions with you its so fun having a small army

What happens if for some reason you let the suicide bomber into the store during the birds of a feather mission? Does that count as killing Gloria, because if so that would make things a lot easier

Haha, I was so happy to see you focus on the billboard for a few moments - it's exactly what I did when I played through this quest.

25:26 *dramatic music plays* *starts to eat popcorn faster (literally)* *more dramatic music* RU-vid: sorry I need to buffer Me: NNNNNOOOOO!!!!

21:27 The timing on that was perfect! Good, quality video with good, quality content. Just like the last few I saw. I think you just earned yourself a subscriber.

Can you do a video of Sanctuary Hills lore. There was a pretty established drug dealer there and other stuff like the bunker. Thanks (:

Sharon was the only companion I found so when the plasma company wanted to kill her I shot everyone there and took their guns

"No one seems to notice or care that Alice is gone" no no no no no , One thing is not noticing or not caring about her death , but it's another thing to straight up live and talk to people like if she was still alive

I love how Obsidian made such a rich world with details like the singing fish and phrases like "Caesar on a crutch," which is itself a corruption of "Caesar on a cross," like they made a whole expletive for their world, it's so human!

Hey ox i know all the lore for fallout but u always make it so interesting any ways still waiting for the great khan lore vid anyways stay safe.... that damn bunk bed

Cass was by far my favorite character in the game. Much like me, if the situation at hand didnt affect her she'd more so be the person on the sideline with a good bottle of whatever the hell, I relate to her more than anyone else, plus it was good to have a shotgun runner by my side so I wouldnt have to spread out my professions. The first two actions on any playthrough for me was to get ED-E and Cass and throw a party so hard it'd break the wasteland. Aside from that Red Lucy in that Arena place was my 2nd fav

An hour long video?! *grabs the popcorn and a cold drink* I'm not kidding I literally did that for this. I love these kinds of videos

When you missed the slash on Alice and then immediately decapitated her, I lost it. Quality content, Oxhorn. Quality content

If you had higher Endurance, you win the drinking contest!

I like the little initial hint of respect/fear for the Courier, “something tells me hitting you would be a mistake I wouldn’t want to repeat,” like even as hammered as she is, she can tell pissing off the Courier is something you don’t even wanna think about.

I remember using a stealth boy in the Van Graff's store and stealing all their energy weapons laid out. Given how two different quests want to see those unscrupulous mercs dead, I felt no hesitation blowing them away no matter what route I took. The fact that you can recycle energy weapon ammo really cleanly with a single perk was another reason the laser rifle was my weapon of choice in this game.

Always thought Cass was super smokin hot. A little on the trashy side... Ilike datttttttttt

Oh the memories... Damn it NV's voice acting, narrative and lore is so good... Still stands up to this day (2017).

Killed Caesar in my second to third sitting. I was like 20 hours in.

the long, slow stalking of Alice into The barracks and forboding atmosphere as you pull out a knife and aproach her as she sleeps make that bunk bed gag pure gold. keep up the good work sir, this is why we love your videos.

51:10 The fish that sings “Don’t worry be happy” Lol

25:46 I'm dying. Things like this are what I expect the least from a relatively serious commentary video like these, which is what makes them so good.

"Now who do we know likes to use energy weapon?" *looks at silver rush sign*

I love your videos. :) I listen to them while I play Fallout games and they give me more insight on the backstories. Keep being awesome and putting out great content!

You're the best at fallout stories. Better than anyone else I've seen.

Cass is my absolute favourite companion in NV, I've so been looking forward to this video.

Came for the Fallout explorations, stayed for the Damn velvety voice & sympathetic, almost voice-actor attitude to conversations with your AI partners. Enjoying the new sub so far!

one of my favorite companions in the fallout universe, wonderful backstory! thanks for this!
