This Fallout Character Has Made People Religious | Nux Reacts 

“We can’t expect God to do all the work.”

There's an AI Joshua Graham reading the Art of War, and teaching you how to get maidens; and it's peak fatherhood.

"I have been baptized twice, once in water, once in flame. I will carry the fire of the holy spirit inside until I stand before my Lord for judgement." "I don't enjoy killing, but when done righteously, it's just a chore, like any other." "I survived because the fire inside burned brighter than the fire around me."

joshua has a dt of 50 to 75 depending on game difficulty, for reference the strongest armor in the game only gives you 28 dt, and deathclaws only have 30 dt, this man's skin is twice as tough as power armor, no wonder a measly fire couldn't kill him

Technically, he never betrayed Caesar. He lost the First Battle of Hoover Dam to the NCR's Rangers. Caesar did not like failure, and made an example of him, and replaced him with the truly coldest motherfucker in Vegas; Lanius. Lanius lives up to the Legate title of his predecessor by having every word that comes out of his mouth being as quotable as possible.

Characters like this show the difference between writers who care about their work and one's who are just after money.

We Mormons don’t get much good representation in media, but when we do, holy cow it’s amazing

THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND, JOSHUA MF GRAHAM!!!! GOT SET ON FIRE, THROWN FROM THE GRAND CANYON, AND WALKED IT OFF!!!

35:50 the prodigal son bit isn't a reference to jesus, it's a story in the Bible about a son going out into the world screwing up a ton and his father still embracing him when he comes home, to the jealousy of his brother. Or smthn like that

Joshuas DT [Damage Threshold, or armor value] is higher than power armor, ive dropped a mininuke on him only for him to pivot 360 on his heel [still alive, walked off the nuke], and pop a few caps in my ass and I fucking died. Joshua literally has plot armor, we arent the main character when hes around.

Joshua is the very embodiment of: Local morman literally too angry to die

You are one of the few internet folk who actually understands what faith is. It's refreshing to hear a level headed take on it.

So I’m Mormon and I gotta say Joshua and Daniel are excellent representations of how Mormons would act in the apocalypse

Nux goes to Zion valley and comes out no longer wearing his yarmulke and his math skills will plummet

This dude is basically Makoto Shishio from Rurouni Kenshin only he traded in his sword for a .45 Caliber Pistol.

Unironically, Joshua Graham got me to go back to church

Nux, you NEED to see his video on Cait about the most accurate depiction of an addict in gaming.

Even if you fail that one speech skill check, the man still manages to exude badassery.

"When fortune smiles on something as violent and ugly as revenge, it seems proof like no other, that not only does God exist, you're doing His will.”

Probably one of the few great depictions of a religious person in media. He’s not used as a joke, or as fool to be torn down by atheists, he’s a believer and sinner who takes faith in the word of the Lord.

Someone make him read Randall Clark's diary already. The most moving piece of fallout lore.

He wasn't threatening you, he was making sure each gun was clean and operable for his men Conversation doesn't postpone responsibility, and we can't expect God to do all the work

Joshua gives you his unique pistol at the end, which has etched in Greek "And the light shineth in darkness and the darkness comprehended it not." Kind of summarizes him rather poetically.

"A thief wants to steal your stuff. A liar wants to steal your reality"

Man i love joshua graham, i'm not religious and i dont even play fallouts but i still quote some of his lines to this day. i mean, who cant relate to the: ~"Some days... some days are harder, than the others. but it is great comfort to have friends and family to lean on" ?

Mormons do not consider Utah as Jerusalem. We simply migrated there because we where being hunted in every other state. Utah was Nuteral territory at the time.

Joshua is an SCP. Religious John Wick.

It's like that quote from Doctor Who: "good men dont need rules, now is not the time to find out why i have so many." Joshua Graham is trying to live his life righteously but deep down he is not a good man.

oh yeah good ol joshua graham! the coolest mormon

Joshua Graham is the very definition of "living on a prayer" xD Also, you may be interested in a video on Caesar. Like Joshua, he's very charismatic despite how horrible the Legion is. It actually makes a lot of players choose his side despite it being the obvious morally questionable choice. Actually, there's a lot of good characters in New Vegas in general...maybe a whole character deep dive video??

"Make no mistake about why we are here. This is an extermination." Hits so much harder when you realize the White Legs probably have kids around too, plus the track record of Joshua... Yeah.

You should totally check out the story of Randall Clark aka The Survivalist, another AMAZING story from Fallout New Vegas. Same DLC as Dead Money.

his most famous quote should still be "I don't enjoy killing, but [...]"

I can safely say that he made me religious, especially Mormon. When it's 4 in the morning, you haven't slept for two days and you listen to Joshua's words, I felt at peace.

Because Joshua Graham has something the church lacks today: Actual principles

My dad gave me a 1911 45 pistol when i graduated highschool. Best gift ive ever been given

Remember this is the same voice actor who plays the male Dark Elf in Skyrim. Bro has SKILL!

If you watched Joshua, now you need to watch about Randall Clark his story is iconic even thought he never shows up in wild hearts DLC, hus story also points out Joshua's idea about fighting the white legs is the right one

Was written by Chris Avellone, same guy who wrote Darth Kreia in KOTOR2

Randall Clark, NUX HAS TO DO A WATCH OF THAT LEGENDARY MAN!

There’s videos of a Joshua ghraham AI for reading the Bible, at least the first book genesis, and it was actually so fitting it amazed me.

I always take the war club because it's unique compared to the others, it has character, and because it's damn powerful as a melee weapon.

@22:18 don't forget, South park had an episode where heaven was fighting hell and one of the angels said "well normally we only let Mormon people into heaven." 😂😂😂😂

As a utahn, go to Zion. Its ealily one of the best parks in america, pick a year following a good snowfall, you wont be disappointed. Id recomend a full week or at least 3 or 4 days.

9:55 "Wrapped in baggage's" I know it was just a slight slip but my mind ran with it and I just pictured a dude mushed in-between bags stuck on the Baggage carousel but still checking his guns while preaching for the Lord.

14:58 Lying is ultimately a cruel waste of time, because the truth is ALWAYS revealed, even if it takes the afterlife to do so. Even in life, there are very few secrets that can be kept indefinitely, very few truths ever fully suppressed.

If your looking for good sith lords to look into i would recommend -darth bane -darth krayt -darth nihilus -darth scion -darth traya -darth talon😏 -darth malgus -tulak hord May fav is nihilus

I used to live in Zion national park, on smith mesa road, its a beautiful place. I was actually living there the first time I played this dlc

There's a couple different translations for Joshua's line, "Kale watcha nei conserva oh". One possible translation is: "God as my witness, none of you will be spared." However, another RU-vidr, who simply goes by "Synonymous", looked into translations from German, Spanish, and Navajo words (due to the fact that the fictional tribes depicted in Honest Hearts speak a mixture of those languages). And the translation he eventually came up with, was: "What are you to Caesar? You may push against us and pick us off, but we will survive." In this case, "Kale" would be the White Legs' word for "Caesar" (Due to the fact that the members of the Legion _always_ pronounce Caesar's name with a hard "C"). A commenter on Synonymous' video believed that Joshua was actually speaking "Twisted Hair", the tribe Ulysses once belonged to (before he also joined Caesar). Apparently, Ulysses convinced the White Legs that Caesar is a God in human form, so Joshua's line here would literally translate as, "God watches, not conserving you." Or, in other words: _"Your God has abandoned you."_ As for an official translation, Joshua Sawyer (The creative director of New Vegas) made a point of not giving an official translation, because he wanted the line to be mysterious. He also clarified that it *DOES* translate into _something;_ it's not just gibberish. I do like all three of these fan translations, but the last two are my favorites. As another commenter on Synonymous' video put it: "Asking Salt-Upon-Wounds what he is to Caesar would be the most raw line, if that's what it translated to." Edit: Fixed a typo in "Caesar".

Aye yooo your actually doing it!! I asked for this and he's doing it!!! NUX DA GOAT

There are metal band mascots that have lore like Eddie from iron maiden and I would love for him to react to it. Also, I think would be awesome if our boy Nux to reacting to epic metal music

Now do, “this npc gave people trauma” made by the same guy, pretty fire!

Something he doesn’t mention is that if you point a gun at him, while he’s checking the pistols, he says “make the first shot count, you won’t get a second.“

Nux do the survivalist. He is part of this dlc

You should definitely react to "Over-Powered Tech of Fallout" by RadKing. The video will really spill it out at how some tech is just straight up OP AF to black magic levels of unseen fuckery.

I hope he watches a video on Ulysses

Joshua grahan *IS HIM* !!!

Im convinced this is the emperor incognito

You need to react to the DUST lore. It’s a mod that shows what happens after the worst possible ending in new Vegas. Truly tragic

There's a bunch of AI videos where Joshua debates philosophy with characters like Batman, Kratos, etc. They're pretty interesting and worth a watch.

Emperors tap dancing thyroid gland, WE NEED MORE TTS

Day 13 of asking Nux to do a Halo lore dive. 8:40: This makes me happy

He's The Burned Man. How could he not spit flames?

Kentucky fried mormon time!

I don't think I've ever experienced New Vegas crash without mods

"Dude "fell" into fire 🔥 and found God," is a great defining characteristic, not his gender not his skin color or who he slepts with. A redemption arc that started with fire 🔥. That's epic writing ✍️.

Nux if you liked Joshua Graham you should look into videos on Randall Clark, he's another character created for the Honest Hearts DLC and is genuinely considered one of the peak Fallout characters along with Joshua, and both were from the same DLC.

i will say, Joshua has convinced me to keep some parts of my faith. i grew up mormon and i left because its honest just a cult, any exmormon knows that. but the quote by joshua "I believe there is something beyond this rock, and this air, and this water around us. Something more that is waiting for us." really stuck with me.

Someone tell him to react to Ulysses next. The best video I've found that really breaks down his mentality and beliefs is a video titled the Politics of Ulysses. Extremely under rated character that people like to make fun of but is actually an extremely deep and thought provoking character.

Since he was vibing to the music, and since its one of the greatest stories and pieces of character work of all time, I think Nux should react to RDR 2 and 1 overall lore and individual character storyline breakdowns

Joshua Graham. Dexterity 99 / Faith 99 build.

My lord I love Joshua, one of the most perfectly written characters in all of fallout and is both very endearing and very terrifying at the same time with his story being amazing. I highly recommend doing some other deep dives into the seara Madre casino dlc and the Big empty one as well, without giving too much away about both the first focus on the past while the second is about science and gives some very interesting lore. I don't know about lonesome roads since I heard some people hate it but that might be interesting too check out to.

Wait till you hear about the survivalist Randall Clarke, a character so badass that people think he's god and you never meet him alive but his story leaves an impact. Also in this dlc

@Nux bro you NEED to play the visual novel that came out on Valentine's day called I wani hug that gator it will change your life bro

It's much worse than laws. If the NCR had their way, they'll make you pay taxes.

YES IM SO GLAD YOUR WATCHING THIS!! I remembered this specific video when you started your follout deepdive and i just knew i'd be right up your alley. I'm glad people recommended it

Sneering Imperialist perk is god like on this play through.

So many good characters to look into. Christine, Father Elijah, Ulysses and the mad scientist or the Big Mt. All those are from DLC. Even Dean can be added here. Just such a well written game. But the best of all characters is the one that haunted that valley right after the bombs dropped. He's probably the best character in this game and he died long ago.

joshua's introduction has the same energy as tywin lannister lecturing jaime while skinning a deer.

You should check the world of darkness setting specially vampire the masquerade

Now we gotta get Nux to watch the Fallout Ulysses lore

You should really watch a video on Caesar himself. Not because he's right, quite the opposite. Caesar is a charismatic moron who has internalized a misunderstanding of a phylosophy in order to justify being a monster. As someone who has very lightly dabbled in philosophy, listening to him butcher the concept of Hegelian Dialectics makes my head hurt. It makes me wonder if the misunderstanding was purposeful or if the writers also misunderstood it and were legitimately trying to make him sound smart. Given the quality of the surrounding dialogue, I lean towards the former option.

I have been waiting for this. A deep dive on Mr. House would be really cool too.

I wonder if Ulysses has a video like this, considering how much Ulysses talks there must be a few good ones.

Nux reacting to Joshua Graham?! Wtf?! I never thought these two sides of my RU-vid would meet

You MUST do Ulysses next. I'm sure he'll be a contender for best character

Broke: I choose NCR because the Legion are slavers! Woke: I choose NCR to take revenge for Joshua Graham.

Joshua is, absolutely, one of my top favorite characters of all time. I can even say he helped reignite my own faith that had dimmed over time years ago. I even have this one RU-vid video, made by combining several of Joshua's lines, into one coherent speech, and I just listen to it whenever I'm feeling down. He really is just the best

Bear this in mind, Joshua Gram is the Former Legate of the Legion, the position now currently occupied by Lanius. Dude lost the first battle of Hoover dame, got TARED, Lite on Fire, THROWN DOWN THE GRAND CANYON, and SURVIVED! Dude is too HOLY to die. Also yes that M1911 is 400 years old, its in the name: Colt M1911. And Fallout takes place in 2277 ish, so those things must have been in storage for a long time to still be working properly at this point.

40:00 - i have only once ever chosen to side with Daniel, just to see how it ends. ultimately he wants to save the Sorrows, but in the end he is condemning them, for Zion is their home, an Oasis in a great desert, one that will be destroyed by the White Legs, if left to their own devices.

'In the warp a giant stirred; an image flickered through a mind larger than a nebula. The sleep of Gork was troubled. In his dreams he wore a metal body and led his children to victory. The dream lasted a brief instant of long eternity, something about it caused Gork to smile but not to rouse. In the warp Mork too was disturbed. He dreamed of war spreading like a green stain across the galaxy. He saw billions of his children following giant warmachines built in his crude image on a great crusade. He found the dream good. And slowly his vast mind moved towards wakefulness. Gork and Mork stirred. Their dreams reached out and touched the dreams of their people. A billion Orks turned in their sleep; suddenly, inexplicably infected by scenes of slaughter and reaving, plunder and the taking of worlds. When they awoke they looked on their surroundings and found them dull. Gork struggled towards awareness. After centuries of dormancy it was a long process. He sensed other Powers in the warp trying to interfere. He blocked a subtle tendril from Slaanesh, ignored a baleful warning from the Emperor, discounted the triumphant cry of Khorne. He reached out with his millennia-old mind and gathered the strength of his people. Soon he would be awake and active. A body of steel had been prepared for him. A time of blood and iron was approaching. As Mork gathered strength many a Warboss found himself afflicted with thoughts of power. Ancient ambitions were re-kindled. Long vanished thoughts of conquest stirred in the recesses of slow minds. They planned raids on nearby Humans and toyed with thoughts of alliances with old rivals. Not even great soul-searching could explain why this was so. The Ancient Powers knew what was happening, though. The Waa-Ork was coming. Gork and Mork stirred and a wave of fear passed through the warp. Suicide and incidence of violent crime climbed steeply. On Icolbar an Astropath screamed and threw himself from the balcony of a starscraper apartment, yelling that his people were doomed. On the craft-world Hope of Other Days, an Eldar philosopher stopped listening to the atonal music of his water-chimes and began composing his death-haiku, feeling his life had been justified. On distant Earth, a living corpse in a golden throne opened eyes that held fear for the first time in centuries. Gork felt his attention being tugged towards one tiny world on the edge of Orkdom. A strange attraction drew him to it. He leaned down from warpspace and looked upon it. His breath brought storms in the Ash Desert. His gaze caused machines to break down. His lightest tread brought earthquakes. Seeing the disruption he was causing among his people he withdrew. He knew the time was not yet right for his return. He withdrew but he left a message. Mork moved on the face of the warp, brushing aside Daemons and ignoring ancient barriers set by long dead Gods. He moved from world to world and placed in the heart of every Ork the desire to be restless, to move, to follow the siren call of adventure when it came. He sensed other Powers subtly striving to oppose him and laughed as their attempts to restrain his crude, irresistible purpose. The Emperor knew that he must save his people. If Gork and Mork unleashed their hordes then any unprepared worlds would be swept aside by a green tide of death The Emperor bent his thoughts to the task. Across Human space, within the range of the Astronomicon, Imperial Tarot began to foretell disaster. Commanders consulting them found all the signs of impending catastrophe on a cosmic scale. In the Segmentum Obscura, Battlefleets were recalled and prepared for war. On the homeworlds of the Adeptus Astartes, Space Marines reached for their weapons, knowing their time of destiny was near. On the edges of the Eye Of Terror, the Orders of the Adeptus Titanicus roused their ancient war-machines. Having surveyed his Empire and seen it was ready the dying immortal within the Golden Throne prepared himself for the conflict to come. Gork and Mork knew that they were ready. Their people were agitated and prepared for battle The Emperor, their chosen enemy, had deployed his forces. The first skirmishes had been fought, now war was about to be joined. Beyond them they sensed the Chaos Powers watching, waiting to see what advantage the God-brothers' actions might bring them. In the darkest pits of creation twisted creatures prepared to follow the Orks' advance. Gork and Mork did not care. They knew they were strong enough to resist Chaos. The time was right. The time was now. It was time for Gork and Mork to have some fun. In the Warp Gork and Mork waited, well pleased. Across the face of a million worlds their children were on the move, a green tide that would topple empires and re-shape the Universe. The Waa-Ork was on the move.' I will post this on all of your videos until you watch Baldemort's: The Secret History of the Orks.

Frenzied flame lore is a rabbit hole

Id like to see Nux react to Joshua's successor Lanius, the current Legate of Caesar's legion. To call Lanius a savage man would be underselling it; he really has earned his name "The Butcher" in Latin. He is also the "Monster of the East" having earned the name from his conquering of 19 tribes. Its not all I'd like him to see as there is much more information to be derived from the game but there was a pretty cool FNV fan film made of him that ACTUALLY got Mitch Lewis himself on board to dub over actor Johnny Domino. Mitch being the iconic voice of Lanius, and Johnny Domino playing him. physically.

Nux needs to do a lore dive on Father Elijah next, he will love that lore.

Yo it’s the Kentucky fried Mormon.

The Nick Rekieta situation is depressing to see

Joshua Graham is an amazing example of an anti-vilian

Wait, this is the man marked by flames! Quick, we have to ask him where the One Piece is!

His custom 45 is pretty cool too. It's called 'A Light Shining in Darkness'. After the biblical passage which is also engraved on the frame of the pistol. καὶ τὸ φῶς ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ φαίνει / καὶ ἡ σκοτία αὐτὸ οὐ κατέλαβεν (And the light shineth in darkness and the darkness comprehended it not).

THE BURNED MAN HIMSELF. Do one for Caesar or House next, maybe even watch the "Caesar explains himself" video, or a video explaining the Legion, or even explaining Legate Lanius.
