Vahlok142 arcade was neat and I enjoyed his side quest. Just idk he’s got a link to that evil and I always found myself annoyed when he’d jump in with his high and mighty attitude of doing good while he also keeps in touch with the remnants that had a hand in doing bad.

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.

[@Kezajaws01904]

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.

[@LordStencil]

This needs pinned

[@MrTylerman127]

No wonder I was so confused. I had forgotten about her during one of my play throughs so by the time I got to her I was like lvl 43 or 44 and absolutely wrecked her in the contest.

[@ReverandSatan]

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...

[@LaBerengenaAtomica]

I always went for Boone since he was the first companion I ever got and it took me a hell of a lot of time to realize who else could be a companion (or that you could have other companions, earlier still), and I still love him, mind you, but Cass is just so good. I've heard a lot of people utterly hate her chattiness, but I love it. That's actually one of the things I didn't like about Boone, always so silent and not wanting to say anything about him (which is perfectly fine, but alas). Cass, on the other hand, she's just a chatterbox with something to say about everything and she's pretty cool overall (I dig redheads as well).

[@MrTylerman127]

I ALWAYS go for Veronica just because nothing beats getting jumpscared by the kill cams that randomly happen while traveling with her. She seems to like beating the shit out of small helpless enemies while we travel lol.

[@alexcrowder1673]

The Prodigal Knight True but they can get annoying when it turns your character backwards and you have to figure out where you are every time she kills something. Veronica is still one of my favorites. I like that she is so upbeat and positive. Thats why i like Cass too, but the downside is she hates evil characters and can leave if you talk to her too many times. Boone i like because he stays out of my way and has a sad back story. Unpopular opinion I know, but Ed-e is honestly my least favorite because he somehow knows when I’m going to throw a grenade and has a nasty habit of getting right in my way exactly as I’m throwing them and inevitably ricocheting them straight at me. I died on my grenade character so many freaking times to him that I can’t handle him anymore lol. Plus he just talks and talks when I’m trying to do lonesome road, which I’ve done well over 100 times, no exaggeration lol. I play a LOT of new vegas. Fallout 4 didn’t quite do it for me the way new vegas does, but crafting was pretty cool. So many characters in new vegas get replaced by other fully voiced characters when killed, thats really cool to me. Most people have never even seen or heard many of them, like Gabban burning down nipton instead of vulpes if you had previously killed Vulpes Inculta on the strip after meeting Benny. He has a bunch of voiced lines too, but hardly anyone knows he exists because you have to have seen benny before nipton, and killed vulpes stealthily, which is somewhat unlikely in typical playthroughs. But obsidian thought of the possibility and planned for it, which not many other companies would do.

[@WindiChilliwack]

SAAAME

[@WindiChilliwack]

Mostly, when i paly Fallout-New Vegas and first discovered Rose of Sharon Cassidy, I've always thought of Cassidy from Fallout 2. And my mind is flashing back and always thought to myself, I shall bring my legacy of my possible non-existent ancestor of the Vault dweller's grandson the chosen one. So i decided to take her with me and thought of myself being the courier as i was the child who came from New-Reno either given birth by the daughter or the wife of Mr.Bishop. I always stick around with her. Love her choice of clothing and her little sass and whisky. So we all go rough-housing all over.

NCR has its problem, but its honestly the biggest, and most developed faction in any Fallout game besides the Brotherhood and Enclave, but its the only one which hasn't been splintered or utterly annihilated. NCR owns the most territory and also has heavy industrialization. Being abled to manufacture vertibirds rather than scrapping them together from organizations that have or can create them. Worse thing about NCR is just the bureaucracy.

Eddie Peraza happened to me

[@pandazatthedisco]

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.

Really? Of ALL the things you can't suspend your disbelief about in the Fallout universe, it's Cass' age in 2281? I'm 35 and people regularly mistake me for a college student. Do you think it strains credibility that our dearly departed friend John Cassidy could have fathered her in his old age when he lives a wasteland with no access to Viagra? Or that he could be 60+, have a heart condition, be missing an eye, and still be a ferocious combatant and adventurer?

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"

[@TK-ib2vu]

O Cowboy do Mojave yeah. They could do it like fable where you join someone else’s world but gain experience. Or it could be like dead rising co op where your both going through the story but they’d need to work out how to incorporate the decision making.

O Cowboy do Mojave yeah. So pretty much like fable multiplayer

4 did have pretty good reactions to locations but there were a LOT of missed opportunities. For example: yes they do react to seeing the UFO go down, but they’re dead silent whenever you find the crash site or kill the survivor.

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.

[@rbthatcherjr]

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.

[@ahmadwilliams2164]

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.

[@02ninjaman]

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.

the courier is around 40 as well, there was even an option where the two merry each other and the king sings a song lmao the courier btw had sex with an girl in montana 17 years ago, if you have the ladykiller perk and you talk to the lonesome drifter you can see that. (unless of course he had sex with a girl while he was 10 years old.. I think though he must be around 35-40 years old)

[@deansheppard1104]

@@zneytram1432 not cannon, you could have a,low charisma male courier without the ladykiller perk , you could have a gay male courier wuth bachelor party perk , you could have a female courier , i could go on and on ... My point is that this is a role playing game , and a line of dialogue doesnt make anything canon specialy when depending on a perk . thats like saying that the canon courier is dumb because i have a low inteligence dialogue which is not true cause if i make a character with high inteligence i dont get that dialogue . Perk dependent dialogue isnt cannon . My character has low inteligence , low charisma, and my character is young because fallout is a role playing game and my character is whatever i make him to be. Thats also why i hate when bethesda makes cannon endings ( for example i considerd fallout 4 a difrent universe from fallout 3 in my playthrow because i used the fev virus ) If you decide that the courier being 30-40 years old is cannon for your character thats fine but it doesnt mean mine or someone else is too especially when is based on perk dialogue line.

[@zneytram1432]

@@deansheppard1104 I apreciate it that you didn't insult me cuz always when you share your opinion you just get insulted (me on yt however) But I dont rlly think you know what canon means, in the Fallout game there is a few endings, in one you can destroy the master, in the other you can band up with, if you Do so there will be an ending where most of the humans die and there is only supermutants... however this ending is not the case because cause in the franchise the People arent dead, now the ending which is based on the franchise is canon, the other is only a way it could have went Another example would be the choosen ones son in new reno, if you play the game you can choose between sleeping with the girl or not, if you do not you wont have a son, but canon you do and you hear in New vegas that there is this kid of the choosen one leading the bishop family to the top Now just think of playing the son of Cass and the courier, dosent this Sound dope & canon to you :P

@@zneytram1432 i meant no insult in my responce , just a civil arguement , we are both fallout fans so we have more reason to be friends then too insult each other and im glad you see it the same way :) You re right about fallout story progresing from previews cannon endings ( fallout 3 for example the canon ending is the purifer gets activated and the lone wandrer helps the brotherhood of steel destroy the enclave , soo we get too see the brotherhood in the comonwealth in fallout 4 with vertebirds and deacon mentions that you can drink the water in the capital wasteland ) but the courier having a son of 17 years old back in montana isnt cannon because its only a line of dialogue depending on a perk ( lady killer) bethesda establish cannon endings so they can progress the story but they never cannonize gender for example ( at least in fallout 3 ,nv or 4 . i havent played fallout 1 and 2 ) . about the endings on fallout 2 being cannon you re right because the master is dead on fallout nv but the courier being male or having a son isnt cannon unless you decide it for your character ( i always play like a male in fallout but for someone has oxhorn the dialogue between the male courier with lady killer and the lonesome drifter being cannon would be weird ) for me its all about role play . bethesda is also not very consistent about lore because you find jet in places where you shoulnt for example ( jet is supposed to be a drug made after the war , i only know because oxhorn mention it in one of his video) also spoilers ahed for fallout 76 if you didnt play it ( you find the brotherhood of steel in west virgina what doesnt make much sense) .

[@chrisdupuis2523]

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.

[@QuothTheRavenclaw11]

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

[@Thagomizer]

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.

[@magmos6346]

Something you missed Oxhorn, the conversations with the drinking contest changes based on your endurance. The lowest has you losing it, medium has you and Cass tying (which is easily the funniest of the lot), and the last has you winning and Cass getting P.Oed at your alcohol tolerance.

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

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.

A little warning about the battle at @28:39. Remember that if your on Hardcore mode, Cass is gone for good if her HP reaches 0. And that's obviously no good.

+Big Chanka That one might not be entirely on Bethesda. The higher ups at Obsidian tend to be pretty down on romance in their games. I could see them cutting that themselves.

[@pooshkin6181]

magmos I am not talking about the romance only, I am also talking about the content which was cut from the game to meet Bethesda's deadline. Biggest part of it being the Legion questline and their occupied areas. I am vehemently anti-legion, I've only had one playthrough with it and it was just because of the achievementt. Not to mention that was the playthrough that my game basically shat itself, corrupting all my saves, which discouraged me even more to make another Legion playthrough. One of the most boring playthroughs I've ever had, the biggest factor being of how short it was. I didn't see the mighty Legion that terrorised the Mojave, but some punks in sporting gear that occupied 2-3 places. But all said and done, those who actually like playing for the Legion should have experienced their full potential, they could have had a Legion companion, take areas, do more quests. Every faction is supposed to be grey, but the Legion is black, they don't show the pros, only the cons.

Most unique energy weapons are better than the standard ones, tbh, so killing the Graffs isn't a particularly big loss. In fact, you can plunder all their weapons and buy the unique ones from them before slaughtering them (or from the Gun Runners after the slaughter).

[@TheLastRaven6]

If you have OLD world blues you can get FAR better energy weapons from there. LEAR is one of the best.

[@JosieJOK]

My Energy Weapons Courier (my first character) was doing the quests for the Van Graffs, but refused to kill Cass. I ended up having to kill both the Van Graffs and Alice, since there’s no way to go the peaceful route if you kill the Van Graffs before you get Cass’s quest. Irked me to lose my main vendor of ammo; the other vendors, even the Gun Runners, never seemed to carry much at a time. Cass was worth it, though!
