Fallout New Vegas: The Courier with low intelligence talking to his own brain in Old World Blues. Low intelligence dialogues from Fallout to Fallout New Vegas can be seen at StylesV13.
How could they? Bethesda's piss awful dialogue system will likely be written into the engine itself, unfortunately. Add that to the fact that Bethesda are unlikely to let Obsidian do another game due to the whole Metacritic score bollocks, and you have a recipe for disappointment.
Darrel Mahan II Actually, you don't have a computer brain in OWB, rather you're still connected to your own brain. To quote my reply to another comment: "The way it's explained from what I remember (It's been a while since I played) is that they put a receiver setup in your head and thus you still receive thoughts from your brain. However though, with that being the case, the game never explains how your brain somehow has independent thoughts despite still being, well, you."
I love how in High Inteligence you can actually outsmart your own brain when he tries to blame you for doing all of the dangerous shenanigans only for you to point out that all of those impulses are directly connected to the brain.
"You know what is responsible for all of those stupid actions of yours? Glands. Lots and lots of glands." "[Medicine 55] But you're the source of most of those glands, unless you're blaming my thyroid..."
@@WackoMcGooseeven if you do blame the thyroid gland it’s your brain that tells it to produce those hormones lmfao. I just love this moment in the dlc. I really wish I could get amnesia so I can enjoy it for the first time again.
Remember everybody! A toaster is essentially a death ray with an inadequate power supply. As soon as you tap into the main reactors, YOU CAN BURN THE WORLD!!!!!
Tbh that kinda proves Elder Maxson's point. Machines with personalities are dangerous. Imagine putting that toaster's personality module into a synth's body lol
Lol so if the couriers brain sounds like stewie doesnt the courier also? Plus if you make a female character will your brain sound like Louis or meg? XD
Kind of the case in real life. There's surgery to disconnect both hemispheres of your brain from eachother. You'd get instances of phantom hands where one side of your brain wants something, but your other hand knocks it away.
@@ghillieshark6437 Right, so it's more of a case of the Courier's Conscious conversing with their Subconscious. And their subconscious is kind of a dick.
"Very well, let me put this into terms you'll understand. Brain: smart. Heart: stupid. Spine: very stupid. You: exceptionally stupid." That line cracked me up.
"The Courier's brain", the secret follower you never knew you had. No wonder we were always limited to 1 all this time. The Brain's been recording and lamenting every moment!
If you think about it, you can actually have up to 5 companions: The brain The stealth suit you acquire The K9000 A humanoid companion A non-humanoid companion A whole party in itself, really.
@@alpacawithouthat987 Yeah, but the ranger would still follow you to the Divide for some reason. I prefer the Legion squad from the Legion Quests Expanded mod. They are far more dependable.
"Once you're back in my head, I'll watch television. Lots. And lots. Of television." "You...you wouldn't! That's inhuman!" "I would. And I'd follow it up with an alcohol-and-ant-nectar cocktail every night." I think that has to be the best threat ever.
Nick Johnson Because Fallout 4 writing is horrible conpared to this. its not just the DLC but the whole New vegas Game were obsidian made a Great Job Making incredible Dialogue, Story, and Writing.
+darude - sandstorm It was quite a shame really. I remember playing through FO3 and LOVING the world, every location was interesting or had some quirk in it and it was just beautiful to explore and find something new. When FONV came out I loved the changes they made to the gameplay, the dialogue system was deeper than in FO3, you could aim down the barrel, etc, but the world was bland and dull. It seems like we'll never get the best of both worlds...
Honestly, Bethesda needs to hire Obsidian and need to work together. They both have excellent things about themselves. Bethesda should focus on their amazing world building and Obsidian focus on the story and characters. If we had them working together like that, there would be absolutely no weaknesses to a game they make together as long as each stick to their strengths.
@@Chom20 "Shortly after reuniting (his/her) brain the Courier had found a lifetime supply of Mentats, and then proceded to ingest some fifty cases of Mentats, causing what most would call 'a friggin overdose'. While the ingestion of such an absurd amount of Mentats caused the Courier to become quite frankly the smartest being on Earth, (he/she) would then experience the absolute worst chem withdrawal ever, resulting in a, thankfully, quick brain death."
You are exceptionally stupid aren't you? The brain began educating itself by reading actual books that teach things, and then it also mentions the tank being filled with ground mentats which makes you have higher charisma and intelligence.
spompei 13 I wasn't being "hostile". I was just referencing to the fact the brain calls you exceptionally stupid after saying how the heart is stupid and the spine is really stupid.
This part cracks me up every time. It’s perfectly reminiscent of the classic humor of the older games, Fallout 2 in particular. This is probably my favorite NV DLC because of the B-movie plot and the great comedy. Also has some decent heartfelt moments too.
"Well, you don't have a mouth, but you can talk. Explain that, smarty-pants!" "I don't have... Ugh! I have an inferior frontal gyrus wired directly into a speech-synthesizing processor. Your heart can't be wired up to a... a thought-synhesizing processor! You can't talk to it!" "What about my spine?" For some reason, that exchange really reminds me of TeamFourStar's DBZ abridged.
Maybe because of an exchange between Goku and Frieza: "You can chop a wooden board, and it would break in half. I can chop a wooden board, and wipe out its entire race." "But can you block?"
Heh, well, there technically are neurons in the heart, i.e. their extensions at least. As for the spine, its absolutely riddled with neurons, body, axons and all. Why would the spine be dumber than the heart? No no, this talking brain scene doesn't add up at all.. :D
Justin Daily Your brain, which is you, controls your own thoughts, perceptions, senses, etc. Emotions is kind of a double system between the brain and the heart. The brain does send signals to the heart to release certain chemicals into the bloodstream. These chemicals are produced by the heart of course and when they are released the neurons let you "feel" these chemicals. These chemicals might also be considered proteins i.e. not the structural kind but the chemical message kind. I don't know if they're considered proteins however they do allow you to gain better perceptions of things and decide the magnitude, severity, or any other kind of case regarding your interaction, or another entity interacting with you, with the world.
I mean technically your heart and spine *do* have neurons, but that isn't what would make them capable of speech anyway. But hey, it's your brain, we can't expect it to actually know anything!
How to make a great Fallout game. 1. Make Bethesda and Obsidian work together. 2. Let Bethesda work on world design. 3. Let Obsidian work on weapon, building design, RPG elements, lore, story, characters...etc.
@@Dom_510 New Vegas stomps any Bethesda game. Literally any Bethesda game is solely played with mods because they are so fucking bad without them. Only Bethesda fanboys still defend this garbage company that can't even make an above average game to save their lives.
Obsidian's character building, gunplay, mechanics, voice work, character design and creatures are all trash, their guns would be brilliant if they didn’t just copy real weaponry.
Okay, here's my opinion: Obsidian is sold the Fallout title, given years to work on the next game, not robbed of their incredible sales for 1% on Metacritic and using a new engine. Imagine a Fallout with Far Cry 5 or Modern Warfare graphics. Point is, just make something with tons of choices and replay values. I'm tired, I know I'm making no sense right now lmao
The ones who took it out replaced it with a bunch of artificial stuff, the same with the couriers heart and spine, which allow the courier too work normally. However, they can control you. At least we get an actual spine of steel though.
Bruce Wayne The way it's explained from what I remember (It's been a while since I played) is that they put a receiver setup in your head and thus you still receive thoughts from your brain. However though, with that being the case, the game never explains how your brain somehow has independent thoughts despite still being, well, you. It's weird. So I'll just ask the 10th Doctor. "Wibbly wobbly timey wimey... stuff." Thanks Doctor, it all makes sense now.
PhantmLeader2 Do you seriously think that Bathesda will fork over the extra budget to have voiced lines for things like this? The fact that there are only 4 max dialogue choices for each interaction is just proof they have cheaped out on dialogue to make room for their voiced protag.
I have Intelligence 8, He says basically the exact same things. I think the title is alittle misleading however, it's more like "courier's brain talks to courier on low intelligence" or somewhere around those lines. The brain itself it smart regardless. (i beat the old world blues to clear it up)
It's meant to be a "callback" to fallout 1 and 2 where you could have a retarded character. NV has only a couple of situation where you could be really dumb with low intelligence, but besides those it doesn't change much
It would be cool if you have high intelligence, he turns from obnoxious to actually snart Einstein levels character and respects you, after all brains says that doctor feeds em mentats so if you were already smart... Getting mentats on top would make you super smart. Really missed opportunity.
That cookie reference is a nice throwback to Fallout 2. You would get a cookie from that nice lady who owns the brothel if you where to simple to get other rewards.
this part is basically your brain playing a game where your brain talks to you while your brain is like "if this really happens will I become an asshole?"
This DLC seriously made me question my own existence. do I have a soul? I am just a brain in a skull and the rest of my body is just a vessel? Is my brain just a vessel for carrying elctro-chemical signals and that's what is really me? seriosuly, what the fuck is ME?
this is so entertaining, I didn't consider it would be different. This why I love this game, people react so immersive to what you do. Love how he got properly mad ahah
The brain's response on 1:40 should be: And what are you gonna watch? The only Thing that you'll be able to see is "please stand by" nothing fucking Else!
it would have been so hilarious if in this conversation your intelligence affected what your brain says and not what you say like if you had 0 intelligence your brain would be really stupid and easy to manipulate but if you had high intelligence you would have to actually offer him a deal you couldn't just trick him
He said that Mobius gave the brain ground mentats which allowed it to respond intelligently to you...and unfortunately he must have added some daddy-o into the drug cocktail.
OWB is the definition of stupid but awesome at the same time. It’s such a contrast of the horrid wasteland. Fist of all, you get sucked through a teleported trying to watch a movie. Then, a bunch of moronic doctors lobotomise you, but accidentally flush your brains down the toilet. Following that, you are sent to retrieve YOUR OWN ORGANS, and finally confront the evil moronic doctor, who builds robot scorpions to attack, but the “intimidating announcements” are just him stumbling through his prewritten speech. Then, you finally confront your own brain who despises you! Finally, either by force or convincing, you have a robot shove your guts back into your body. This DLC is perfect.
Brain: What exactly will you do If I don;t? Not put me back in that cranial donjon you call your head? Heavens forbid Me: Once you're back in my head, I'll watch Ghostbusters 2016. lots and lots of Ghostbusters 2016 Brain: You... you wouldn't! Thats Inhumane! Me: I would. And I'd follow it up with some Ghostbusters 2016 video every night Brain: You're a monster! A deranged , self destructive monster!
Here's how I see it: Fallout 3: Tried too hard to be an RPG and didn't focus enough on shooter mechanics. Fallout 4: Tried too hard to be an FPS and didn't focus enough on RPG mechanics. Fallout NV: Perfect.
stride99 I loved NV but it was definitely far from perfect, maybe it's cuz Fallout 3 was what I started with but that one is my favorite, 1 and 2 were also amazing, 4 was pretty good for what it was but lacked in the RPG elements for sure
Is this what the Fallout fanbase has come to? Doing nothing but circlejerking over how much FO4 sucks? Can't we all agree that 3 sucks all the dong and admit that maybe, just maybe, that Fallout-themed shooter was actually pretty sweet?
There's something kinda sweet convincing your brain to come back by reminding it how much fun blowing things up is. "Hmm... now that you mention it, I do miss that lovely "rat-a-tat boom" a bit. It's just not the same without a body to feel the recoil."
