arcade gannon, yelling at the courier on the streets of new vegas as people pass by: look what you did you idiot you’ve uploaded yes man onto an empty automatic stimpak! how did you even do that *holds up yes-pak*
is it just me or is it surreal thinking about how fallout characters just Don’t know the things we do. like elvis, baseball games, fresh colas. things that are common knowledge to us, but a mystery to them. they’ve never seen it in their life time or ever will, so they just have to come up with their own conclusions.
so in this case ill use the kings and elvis as an example. can you even imagine trying to scrap up as much information as you can but still not knowing who the HELL this person was? all you know is that he made a huge impact. nothing else. and there’s no other source of information you can access. I can’t wrap my head around it
I will always love Benny Gecko in the most meta way possible. Like, there’s nothing about his actions that makes him particularly villainous. His entire ‘villaunous plot’ to overthrow house becomes a quest option in the second act, and the courier is commended for doing it. Shit, I haven’t done a survey, but Wild Card might be one of the most popular “factions” to choose. And yea he kills people in cold blood in order to achieve his goals, but so does House. So does every other faction in New Vegas city. The NCR pretends they dont, but they are still responsible for innocent deaths given how they put a chokehold on a lot of the resources. Like Benny’s bad, but he’s not so bad that it stands out in the Mojave.
Literally the only reason Bgecks is a villain is because you happen to play a person who he needed to kill. And because it’s fun to be petty. And because the NPCs think he’s got a punchable face. And it works! We love to hate Benny!! And I just think that’s a testament to the writing, both of his character and of the intro. There’s probably something to say too for the trope of revenge and how it fits into the Western theme of the game but I’m not smart enough to write that commentary so
i bought all 1000 dinky the dinosaur stuffed animals in New Vegas. for two days, i’ve been dropping them in sets of 5, picking them back up one by one, and then dropping them individually. it’s a work in progress.
all 1200+ dinkies have been placed. thank you for joining me on this journey.
So apparently there’s an actual technique to getting into the Boomers but I’ve never done it right, I always just gun straight for it and hope for the best. Let me in you militaristic bastards.
If Bethesda refuses to give us the New Vegas Sequel we deserve, then I shall take it upon myself to do so.
No Todds, No Masters
what she says: i’m fine
what she means: i can’t believe the independent new vegas end has one of the worst outcomes for the followers of the apocalypse as if my goody two shoes courier wouldn’t do everything in their power to aid the followers and allow them to flourish and provide whatever was needed for the people of new vegas and especially freeside and westside to become, if not a perfect place, at least a far more equitable society where both the ravages of the wasteland and the stratified, oppressive ways of the past are kept at bay by the ideals of cooperation and mutual aid.
