that would be hilarious

I wonder if that would happen if the player powers it up and the boy still has the gun.

Big Bird unfortunately it's written in the code you need the gun first

Rip thanks

:) some of it is new for me cause I hate the NCR so new dialogue.

yeah he explores all sides of the stories, nice bit of new info considering i usually slaughter the legion like cattle and don't touch a single negative against the ncr.

Which does absolutely nothing and you simply fail the quest, I have to disagree

Fantastic and Santiago would make fast friends lol

Wah-wah... 🎺

Mine went off outside of camp golf and gave me the biggest jump scare I’ve ever had

i used it and as you said it didnt work so i reload and it kills five kings members

Mine went off during President Kimballs speech. That helped my legion playthrough alot

Gerald He's only smart in the sense that he was able to fool the NCR into hiring him

Yeah but if he is only smart in that sense, what does it say about all the people who are DUMBER then him ;) but really not saying he is actually smart, just pointing out that his SPECIALs has him smarter then the other's SPECIALs have them.

I don't think the specials on some of the important NPC's are really indicative of their capabilities. Their backstories often differ wildly. Fantastic should really have more charisma than brains. House is supposed to be a prodigy level genious but you could say his intelligence stat has degraded along with his body while being in that medical pod of his. The rest are kind of a grab bag for the most part. Granted a 3 intelligence for Benny is probably fitting. He's not nearly as smart as he believes himself and it really shows.

I get the impression that a lot of those Special figures are either randomly generated or otherwise randomly input. Because in the game they don't actually matter all that much outside of combat, nor are they accessible or knowable by the player

Clearly he didn't invest in his Science skill though...

KevinBrzozowski did you saw the NCR too?

+Don Enrique no but every time I saw a California flag. I looked for the 2nd head on the bear.

+Don Enrique got stabbed I the leg by a barrel cactus in Red Rock too.

I think that's called Solar One I think it originally heated water to drive a steam turbine

KevinBrzozowski Did you visit camp searchlight and meet some feral ghouls?

As the enclave . Power ARCH2 .. Kill NCR . Legion to dumb to do crap

You're comment saved my life because I wasn't sure what powering each region would benefit which cause. thanks.

I wiped out the ncr and armed Archimedes satellite to use it myself lol

In what situation would you put power to Fremont and Westside?

@@MisterJohnDoe For Arcade Gannon and the Followers of the Apocalypse.

I'm sure there is a vault whose experiment involved the residents being one man and 99 women in it. I do wonder how that turned out.

@@teal_m_101 That depends. Lucky man or unlucky man when a certain month begins

@@teal_m_101 999 women

Teal Marjira that is Vault 69, 999 women, 1 man. It failed due to the vaults inability to reproduce. The opposite is also true, Vault 68 has 999 men and 1 woman. One is far worse than the other

Its an Anime Thing... Nice

Was about to say the same thing

Someone needs to do it seeing as the world has ended.

Hahaha!

when the follower dude asks you who you are if your stats are low enough you can say "I pet dog"

@@Cthulhuwarlord That's funny as fuck

How dare they overlook such a simple and obvious fact

Ok so does that make oxhorn's statement false or merely non-specific?

That is true, however the misconception comes from the fact they are literally solar panels, to the point that the scrapped solar panels are able to be taken to the boomers and used to fix there solar panels

​@@calebbarnhouse496yeah thats kind of inconsistent logic right there

@@NodaxWoW they share the same model, the fact that they technically aren't solar panels I'd just a fact that can be omitted for everything else to make gameplay better

lol that's what I thought. First thing I said was it's planet express as a gun

Essentially what the courier becomes in the House ending since the crew in Futurama are essentially package couriers

GOOD NEWS EVREYONE!

Sounds like a like I'm gonna head over to Helios One

It would be amazing if you set up the weapon while you don't own it, if you take more then 24 hours to find it you will find the weapon in a spot hit by the laser with the kid dead

Thing is, the Brotherhood know that Helios One is part of a weapon of mass destruction and it's pretty much their _raison d'etre_ to keep such things in safe hands... i.e. their hands. However, the BoS also know that the NCR know that WMDs are the BoS's main gig so when the NCR come sniffing around Helios One, which was occupied by the BoS, their basic doctrine meant they _had_ to try and stop them taking control of the facility, even though they _knew_ a vital part, the rangefinder, was missing. It's always the same for any group that have such extreme views as the Brotherhood do, that those views can and do lead them into situations such that, while others might see a need to compromise, they cannot without betraying their fundamental ideals. Veronica Santangelo understands that the Brotherhood needs to adapt for their very survival, but the prevalent attitude among them is that it's better to sink with all hands while they _do their sworn duty_ than to take to the lifeboats. And it should be said that the NCR should really have learned to respect other peoples boundries by now. Basically, all it needed was there to be one gung-ho idiot on either side and bloodshed becomes as inevitable, ironically, as sunrise.

Actually. It's even worse than that. They went to Helios 1 on the word of Elijah that it was a weapon without any real confirmation that it was. many of them didn't want to be there and they fought horribly over it at Elijah's command. When they were forced out by the NCR who need power to help drive their movement as well as wanting to know just why the BoS wanted it that's when Elijah left to go find another weapon. it was Elijah more than the Mohave BoS as a whole that was weapon obsessed. And in Dead Money we get to see why. He's not just driven to collect them but use them. Even as Extreme as the BoS can be Elijah was still an extremist in comparison and that made him highly dangerous. The NCR are happy just getting power out of it and not even knowing that the weapon part of it exists. Granted if they are in control of it I'm sure somebody smart enough to figure it out would come along eventually.

Can you still use the gun after arming the beam

Because the NCR is not the altruistic group it pretends to be. I forget who says it, but someone said, "the NCR will simply create a situation where they can justify their occupation and control of the area's resources." This is a reference to the US selling Sadam the materials to make biological and chemical weapons, then invading him for those same components, as well as fabricating false flag attacks in order to justify military action. Also we see the NCR makes treaties and then breaks them when it finds this convenient. The Khan's agreed to forgive the NCR for their past genocide and fight alongside them. The NCR responded by taking over the Khan's territory and demanding the Khan's leave. This is a reference to how the US treats American Indians. The NCR slaughters men, women, children, alike, once they've decided a group is dangerous. They did this to the Khans, the Kings, the Brotherhood, and probably many more. This is a reference to many things, including Waco, Agent Orange, Project Phoenix, Firebombing Tokyo, Napalming Dresden, and nuking Hiroshima. In all instances the US military targeted civilians in order to achieve their purposes. They also negotiate for peace, then attack when the other side drops their guard. We get to see this with the Khans who surrendered to the NCR, and the NCR decided that was the best time to kill them. This is probably a reference to many situations in many wars where surrendered enemies were found slaughtered and no investigation was done to find out who was responsible, as the military doesn't want to implicate their own troops. Someone else says in game, "the NCR legalizes in the Senate whatever act of aggression they want to do." This is self explanatory. I remember all of these because they were all based off of common criticisms of US foreign policy. US based gamers don't see a problem with the NCR, even though they're clearly the dangerous, greedy, corrupt, imperialistic war mongers, because US gamers think those things are okay. The game was practically designed to challenged the gamer to start thinking about their own culture more critically, but unfortunately there's no achievement for that, so few bother.

Joe Doe Mr. House says that while talking about his plans to repel the NCR Army from the Mojave.

JamaicanMeCrazy ! I instantly thought of Deacon from the Railroad.........yup

That Red Echo LOL

Because you're not Fantastic. But don't worry. Just get all of the NCR to suckle your teats, get addicted to a shit-ton of chems and *BOOM!* You're *Fantastic*

We need the Euclid c It will be *bright* to use this weapon

Not sure who's the bigger idiot. Fantastic or the NCR for hiring him.

Soap Mason the survivalist is one of my favorite stories in the series

Soap Mason he wasn't apart of the Ncr. He was alive pre-war.

Soap Mason should definitely do the survivalist

Soap Mason he wasn't NCR

He was a pre war US army guy (even though the armor he wore has USMC somewhere on it)

There is one part that really bothers me though, Helios One is a concentrated solar generator, reflectors boiling water or similar. Yet you can still use parts from it to repair the solar field for the boomers ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ ͠⁠°⁠ ͟⁠ʖ⁠ ⁠°͠⁠ ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Why would he show up on the opposite side of the continent when the only way for him to get there would have been to walk, and through Legion territory at that?

SecondSince I'm new to fallout and actually love it so to you which is better NV or Fallout 3 ?

James Legrand Both are good in their rights. New Vegas feels more fleshed out, has great mods, good DLC and runs better than Fallout 3. Fallout 3 is good in it's own rights, the story isn't the best, but some if the characters are good, the DLC is also pretty good, some of the mechanics in the game were improved upon in NV, and it is a little difficult to get running at times (even without mods). Honestly play both, they're both good, but NV is just a teeny bit better (vanilla) and only gets better with mods. Sorry for dragging on with my comment, I rewrote it twice.

Dashing hey thanks for sharing your opinion.

Well Dashing touched on some things and that's pretty accurate. For me what makes NV better is that it is a lot more in line with what Fallout 1 and 2 were like. For lack of a better word, NV 'feels' more like the natural progression from 1 and 2. Also, as noted in my original comment, in my opinion NV is more free or neutral in what it let's you decide. More than "choose to side with good guys or bad guys" it let's you try to live in morally grey areas more than F3 did. At least in my memory. Then there's also mechanics. F3 suffered a bit from being the first Fallout game in a 1st/3rd person perspective. They had to figure things out, where as NV had that base already and could build on it. Lastly in my opinion NV had a better implementation of skills. I could go on and on ( i love the franchise!) but that'll do i think. :) Last point. I'm in no way saying that F3 is/was a bad game. It was just flawed in some ways that for me detract from it being an all-time classic like NV and F2 is for me.

Actually, just coming back to it for a moment. I think the parallel between F1 and F2 to F3 and NV is absolutely there for me. F1 layed a great foundation, but it being something new it was rough and 'flawed diamond' if you will. Then F2 came along and tightened it up, added some needed things, removed useless clutter, etc. The same can be said about F3 and NV. Again, just my thoughts and observations. All are worth playing though. Even Fallout Tactics. ;)

Gerald agreed. Westside is the best choice in my opinion.

I think that powering Arch. II could also be ethical. In fact, if you intend to use it against the Legion, then choosing the weapon is arguably it's the most ethical choice, since keeping the Legion out of the Mojave does the most good for the most people.

If the Legion can be stopped without using the weapon (which they most certainly can) then it is more a foolish choice than an ethical one. But come on, who doesn't love space lasers!?

Jacob Harvell We legion will have our *RETRIBUTION*!

The Legion intends to use every resource they can muster to take the Dam. A task at which they only narrowly failed in the past. If you intend to defeat the Legion, I'd say that it'd be foolish NOT to muster every possible resource that you can.

If your Courier has very low Int, you answer Ignacio with "Me shoulder!" or "Me make pizza!" instead of 'soldier' and 'peace'.

Applause for the mentioning of tf2

What, what do you mean you made one foot off the ground

If you pass a 7 intelligence check you talk him into sending the power everywhere and get the point

No, you get no benefit until you take the C-Finder from Max.

Veronica will comment that it's a good job the safety was on if you power Archimedes before getting the C-finder from Max.

Oxhorn I would really love it to have been coded in that if you decide not to get the gun before you power up the laser for it, then upon arriving at the area where the kid is, everything is on fire/exploded and any person there before was a pile of ash. Then you could loot the gun off a pile titled “smaller ash pile.” The Fallout games don’t have child-killing anymore but they never shy away for _implying_ that some children died

aMoonFrend Well, if you kill BoS in F4 you HAVE to end up killing a few children, given that Maxson brought Squires on Prydwen, so even bethesda in not shy in implying

OH MY GOD. Imagine you are walking through freeside one day, just to see a massive death ray level half the neighborhood.

neo vankleines Me shoulder!

Roderick Van Hees I is scientistic

neo vankleines Yes, i no how to science

War or peace? Me: warm or pizza?

May be possible to build receiving stations that would capture the energy of the laser and convert it to a useable form. If storing the energy was possible maybe multiple remote outposts that can't be connected to the grid could be supplied on a schedule?

Mmmmm steak

Yes, he did. And anyone who has used that gun has done that at least once during their rampage before they reloaded and diverted power.

Oxhorn i know how to get the gun archamidies gun 2 or more times pickpocket the kid once then wait 48 hours and do it again! hope you like it!
