@Jayfive276 must be pretty fun at parties huh?

[@PirZixlay]

Not sure if Jon will see this when I'm commenting this late but I'll give it a go anyway. Putting points into Sneak probably isn't going to help Useless Steve much - it's a lesser known thing about New Vegas that Sneak isn't just a function of your sneak skill, it's also a function of your level relative to the enemy's level! If they outlevel you then they're really likely to spot you. It's why every single DLC seems to have weirdly perceptive enemies compared to the base game - they scale up with you so they're often equal to you or higher in level. But the game doesn't assume you're mad enough to run into a DLC at level 1. According to the Fallout wiki the minimum Lobotomite level is 25, so that's why every single Lobotomite in the world immediately charged you when you stepped outside. I doubt Useless Steve is ever going to hit level 25 so he's just going to be getting spotted by Lobotomites and Trauma Harnesses throughout the run whether or not he invests in Sneak. Remember the Tunnelers in Dust before you installed the Tunneler Fix mod that lowered their levels? It's the same problem here. I think you might actually attract less attention if you *don't* crouch.

Best tip for making caps in old world blues. The proton axes are worth around 2000 caps when fully repaired. They can be repaired using the throwing axes which always have a condition of 100% and are plentiful across the map.

@@MrVertigoStudios Yeah. While Fallout has always been good about contrasting and mixing the tragedy and the dark side of human nature with wacky comedy and dark humour, but they sort of missed the mark a little bit here. Maybe the location was thought up later than the rest and wasn't quite written in with the main quest involved, or something like that.

[@tbotalpha8133]

@@MrVertigoStudios Old World Blues opens with your player character being abducted and brutally vivisected without their consent. OWB was never a "light-hearted adventure", and if you thought it would be, you're an idiot. It's a Fallout game. An actually well-written Fallout game, that knows how to contrast absurd personalities and bonkers sci-fi with incredible darkness. Comedy is tragedy + distance, and OWB knows that it can make you laugh one minute by casually mentioning a comically inhumane science experiment, then make you wince by showing you the horrific results of that experiment.

"The quick scribe jumped over the lazy paladin" is one of Christine's lines from Dead Money. You can overhear her saying it after she's given Vera's voice, and it legitimately made me pause everything when I realized that.

[@Chris-mc2dt]

It’s a play on “the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog”, a famous sentence that includes every letter of the alphabet. It’s probably a bit of post-war pop culture, not necessarily a reference to Christine

[@jacksmith5600]

Fun fact: If you take both the 20% faster firing and the 20% more accurate traits you actually get 4% slower firing and 4% less accuracy due to the weird math of New Vegas. I’m still slightly sad that useless Steve isn’t quite as useless as he can possibly be because he doesn’t have both traits.

[@Electric999999]

Perhaps that could be fixed with the respec from the autodoc

[@Scuzz1204]

On the topic of triggers all the unique weapons in OWB will spawn mobs, when you picked up Elijahs Advanced LAER it spawned the two Sentrybots, picking up Christine’s COS Silencer Rifle will spawn about 5 Lobotomites as an example so be wary of the uniques laying around

[@officialromanhours]

Late, but you can "grab" the unique weapons and take them to the Think Tank Entrance, pick them up then run in

[@Scuzz1204]

snas overtal sadly it doesn’t work that way with OWB. You can’t pick up and move the uniques unlike other weapons and armors since the pick up feature is marked as activate so you can’t grab them without either mods or some other method.

I'm going to guess that the reverse engineered American stealth suit instead of refracting the visible spectrum works by absorbing certain frequencies of light, for example, infrared or ultraviolet. This would make it visible to the naked eye but invisible to mechanical devices that employ thermal. I'm also guessing the suit's voice is being piped through a cochlear earpiece.

@28:00 - Love how the conversation with the Think Tank manages to turn a useless old man who only got as close to the Sierra Madre treasure as he did because of sleep gas and bomb collars into an ultimate badass... Edit @40:00 - It was buildings inside a giant cave complex rather than dug tunnels and rooms. @1:13:00 - Jon seems to be forgetting that OWB's enemy respawn rate is somewhere between "faster than anywhere else in the game" and Donald Trump saying something and then later contradicting himself. :)

[@antisocial9424]

My first play through of New Vegas I was level 12 and decided to go to OWB all I can say is never again

[@bitingapotato3277]

If you built the character right, it'd be doable. I did a melee/hand to hand build at level one and got pretty far, but quit because I missed being able to do the high int skill checks. First fight was pure horror, but after I got my greedy mitts on the proton axe it was okay. Once I got the power fist, it was a cakewalk. No way I'd want to try playing Useless Steve, though.

[@TheItachikiller]

Jon: "I don't want to spend 20 minutes here" Proceeds to spend 40 minutes here

[@A1fAnERD]

"Oh well, I'm sure it's of no consequence. I don't make many mistakes in calculation or perception, so probability favours me." Dr. Klein, 2281. Sums up Jon pretty well, don't you think?

[@Vampyria1836]

About how the facility's design wouldn't have worked if the facility was originally underground, like the lore says, I have a theory. If you look at the image at 8:00 from the intro, around the facilities but within the crater are some mountain-looking rock structures that make a circle around the complex. If the whole complex, while underground, existed within a man-made hollow in the mountain, that would allow for the facilities to function while underground and would explain why there's an extra ring within the crater . Some facilities, like the X-2 Antenna Array, are outside of that ring, but it's mentioned that the extra space made by the destruction of Big Mt. allowed for more room for expansion, so it could've been built post-explosion. Also, this would give an explanation for the hexcrete pillars existence, that being as additional structural support and possibly filler for the sections of the dome not being used for labs. I just thought of this while watching, so if there's conflicting evidence out there that I missed, pay me no mind.

One thing I just realized that is interesting is that the stealth suit can comment on the pip-boy light. The pip-boys were mainly equipment for vault-tec AND they were manufactured by RobCo who Doctor 0 doesn't like, so it seems a bit weird that the word pip-boy would be in the stealth suit's vocabulary.

I've got over 1k hours on New Vegas, and somehow, MATN always finds new ways to play the game, I've never seen before. That is talent.

The run is impossible since the scientists couldn't find a brain to remove.

50:54 "sky-rimmable"

[@SportyMabamba]

Psychonaut Central would also accept “Bethesdable”

Little known neat fact, in the weather station of the big MT you can find a map of lonesome road on a screen, suggesting that Ulysses went there specifically to check the state of the area or map it out, he might have been searching for the missiles with that map

Thank you for starting the Fallout New Vegas DLC, Jon. Old World Blues is one of my favorites to play, especially interacting with the toaster. Well, the toaster and Muggy. And to make it better, I just finished watching Red Dwarf episode with the crazy toaster. Thank you for finishing my weekend on a high note. Happy Easter, or happy Sunday to everyone. Cheers.

[@DaltonMaurer]

That was one of the best first episodes I think I've ever seen. Absolutely hilarious and I can't wait for more

[@DeathPenalty84]

Dear Jon and Claire and all of the true nerds: Happy Easter. Thanks for all of the fantastically entertaining videos you create. It is helping us all in isolation, you have no idea how much. It's a lot. Old world blues out of nowhere? Instant dopamine rush for over an hour. Thank you.

Would love to see an FO4 Explosives Only run (unintentional kill everything). I did this and it was definitely a challenge but with the smoother combat really satisfying

[@peabuddie]

So glad you're finally doing OWB level one! I've wanted this forever.

[@negativemagikarp1482]

I literally just finished doing this while watching your useless steve series. It was a nightmare but I was curious if it could be done. That was freaking cool. I used it to learn about the game with the hope of posting some fallout weird runs. Fun bonus, the perception bonuses to the mobs in the Big MT is insane. Super-heated Saturnite Fist, ftw Cheers!

“Useless Steve was barely using the damn thing anyway” 😂😂😂😂

[@mithosirving]

mehrunes dagon from battlespire: mistakes have been made! is what i was thinking about useless steve doing a level 1 old world blues but i have faith in you john

[@kaydenbarney2941]

I'm so happy you're playing through my favorite fallout DLC as a challenge run

[@sammcgregor5455]

I'm so happy. I was hoping for old world blues. And this is gonna be the best.

[@Pyreate]

I’m so happy good luck on the run Jon
