Fallout: New Vegas - Review After 100%

[@word2RG]

New Vegas can always serve as an inspiration for aspiring devs. Should be a mandatory playthrough for any RPG creator.

Man, Fallout NV is a game I always comeback to every year like a tradition. The first time playing Blood Money I wanted to go out so badly I ran through the entire DLC in one sitting, skipping dialogue left and right I hated it. But played it again a few years later in hardcore mode and it became my favourite DLC for its story telling and how it changes the game to a survival horror casino heist.

[@MikefromTexas1]

Dead* Money

[@sixseven404]

Funny you said that because every summer I do a play through of Fallout NV as well as the old Hitman games including Blood Money. Hinest Hearts DLC was my favorite as a kid because it felt different and didn't look like a wasteland. Now its probably my least favorite of the 4 because the other 3 have such fun stories compared to it imo. Dead Money is probably my favorite and the ghost people are cool enemies.

[@aysn2277]

@@sixseven404 yeah whoops I meant dead money lol. I’ve been playing a shit ton of the hitman trilogy and a bit of blood money HD in the past year. And also that freelancer mode is super addicting. I wish more people were into hitman, most would just finish a level once and never touch it again. The real fun is replaying a level to find cool and efficient ways of getting ur targets.

Very easy to loot every single container for sierra madre chips, then collect around 70 stimpaks once you get into the casino from the vending machine

I'm doing a Survival skill based run so that shouldn't be too bad.

[@eighthmanstanding566]

I know this doesn't help now, but there's a special terminal at The Gun Runners that allows you to "dismiss all companions". It was put in the game to address this exact bug or if you simply tell a companion to wait somewhere and later forget where you left them. It well send all companions that aren't at the Lucky 38 back to their default location. So Raul will be sent back to Raul's Shack east of New Vegas and South of Nellis Airforce Base.

[@chik2602]

Charisma increases the damage your companions inflict by quite a bit, it also makes them tankier. You can play as a character that sucks at combat but is good at everything else while your companions wreck every enemy effortlessly. It's a pretty fun way of playing!

[@anomanomom239]

I think charisma was supposed to do that, but it wasn't implemented in vanilla game release. But, as per usual -- you can mod :)

[@anomanomom239]

The king stat of the game is funnily enough luck. Lategame enemies in the DLCs are balanced around the idea that you are gonna have above 50% crit chance with your weapons of choice. Not to mention ability to rig casinos for caps.

[@chik2602]

@@anomanomom239 If you google Charisma in Fallout New Vegas you'll find that they did implement it, no need for mods. Maybe you're confusing it with Fallout 3, charisma doesn't improve your companions there in any way.

[@GreenEyedDazzler]

@@chik2602 it’s not a enough to help in hardcore but it’s a cool idea, charisma would simply be too OP if it actually made your companions that much better

[@cubablue602]

STILL up there in my top 5 games of all time. Played the hell out of it back in the day and still feel an itch to dive back in now and again. It has a unique, strange combination of factors that pull you in, mostly the atmosphere, characters and pacing for me. Phenomenal mods only add to it.

[@sangheilicommander1056]

hey man was waiting for this review. its a good one for sure. at the start you mentioned charisma being useless right after talking about companion deaths in hardcore. just so you know (incase you didnt) charisma is most helpful in hard core because it boost companion health and damage by 5% per point. making it super necessary in hard core. on top of the speech and barter etc...

[@Joltzz1985]

Loved the video, but I'd like to mention though that Charisma isn't 'entirely' useless because it has a hidden stat in there called Companion Nerve. The higher your charisma, the more of a total beast your companions can be. If you're running lets say: Rex + Boone together and you have CHR 10, plus the Ferocious Loyalty perk, your companions just completely shred lives.

[@tbone6704]

You're a madman. I've been playing since Atari days and I haven't 100% anything since Contra

[@arthurcuesta6041]

Dead Money was some of the best videogame hours I've had in my whole life. So good.

[@Bruced82]

There are a few select NPC interactions in New Vegas, that won't work with charisma 1 (there is at least one that requires charisma 7), you can of course use consumables, get an implant or gear to increase. But it won't stop you from completing the game, like any other stat.

[@no_nameyouknow]

Benny is voiced by Matthew Perry (Chandler from the show friends). He was such a fan of fallout 3 that he wanted to be in the next game, so I heard.

[@Anetonix]

Your channel is nuts dude a video everyday of exceptional quality is definitely a flex! 💪

[@orionschutt]

Thanks for putting this together, great review!

[@BTG514]

Charisma doesn't give the player as much return as say Strength or Agility or Intelligence. And yes, you can just pump points into speech. What Charisma does do is boost your companion's damage with 'Nerve'. If you are running with a companion and have given them better arms & armor than they started with then the Nerve bonus can have them deal decent damage as they support you in combat. It still doesn't make Charisma a desirable stat to invest in but it does do 'something'.

You missed the Enclave that you can rebuild and have fight with you in the end and it's so dope to see the vertibird fly in

[@Savaris96]

Regarding the Think Tank of Big MT.: When you think about it, they are WAY more dangerous than the Institute from Fallout 4, despite having a similar premise, sure they are goofy as fuck, but when you skim through the tech they actually had, the monsters and weapons they created and their immediate response to being freed being to use the Mojave as a massive testing site for all this shit. All the Institute REALLY has are Synths, which sure, can be scary and are very impressive, but given that they cant even reliably control those Synths, which are no more dangerous than a regular Human if they arent utilized correctly. The Think Tank is played for laughs and are fucking scary, the institute is apparently the Boogeyman of the Commonwealth and under all the kidnapping and replacing they dont do shit with it

[@osufan8278]

I fully agree with you. The institute did deploy lots of super mutants into the wastes and their robot gen 1-2 synths destroyed an entire city but for some reason human clones with chips in their heads which don't really differ from normal humans are considered a major problem when it's really not

[@andrewfernandez684]

Just a piece of constructive criticism from a new fan. Genuinely love your content by the way! Keep up the great work. I feel like this video could've really benefited from you going more in depth about why you liked the things you did about this game. The whole review felt very general and by the numbers, like you were going through a checklist (story, gameplay, mechanics) and either giving a thumbs up or thumbs down on each aspect. And I get that's what a review is lol. Maybe that's what you were going for! But when your "gimmick", for lack of a better term, is that you're 100%ing these games, I wanna hear more, specific, cool shit about them. Basically, I don't think this review would've been any different if you had done a single, 30 hour playthrough rather than 100%ing the game. Maybe that's a little extreme, but that's the gist of how I felt coming out. To give you an example of something I was looking forward to hearing more about: the legion. I've never done a legion playthrough, most people never have, so as someone who's 100% the game I feel like you were in a unique position to give us a more fleshed out opinion on the legion side of things; what you actuslly say about them in the video however is pretty surface level stuff that anybody could pick up in any kind of playthrough. Criticism aside just want to reiterate I still found your review entertaining and I genuinely am really loving your vids! Especially your wrath of the righteous stuff, and encased! Definitely gonma check that game out soon. Keep up the great work!

This game is a broken mess in the best way. It taught me the value of using every exploit a game will let me. [edit] I actually prefer the hardcore mode in NV to FO4. The fact that you can't have the food and water needs without also cranking the difficulty to max is annoying.

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

Even the ability to fill empty bottles would have been great for any difficulty of Fallout 4.

I really should play this. I told myself that I need to finish Fallout 3 first. I'm on the last DLC and then I'm done - I've just been lacking motivation of late.

I’m still amazed at people turning the narrative around about this game like 6 or 7 years ago.

Then when Fallout 4 dropped everyone swore New Vegas was the best game ever.

[@MikefromTexas1]

[@thereaver8083]

I know I'm in the minority here but I actually like Dead Money. It forces you to think and strategize to survive instead of just reducing every obstacle in your path to ash and red mist. The Holorifle is also one of the most powerful energy weapons in the game if you find all the upgrades for it. With 100 energy weapons skill, relevant perks, and max-charge MFCs it'll one-shot most non-boss enemies in the base game and many of the basic enemies in the other dlcs as well.

[@kingofthegrill]

As an explosives build, the idea of wasting my precious MFC, AKA free grenade and cap generating ammo, on actually using it as ammo is wild.

I know I'm the minority (or maybe the only one:) but I just couldn't get into this game. I finished and enjoyed Fallout 1, 2, 3, 4 and even 76 (let the stones fly) but I just bounced off this. I tried. Made it a pretty decent way through, but just wasn't having a good time. The writing, choices, characters, and dialogue are all better than Bethesda's outings, but my favorite part is exploring the world, experiencing the environmental storytelling (discovering and figuring out the mysteries of the twisted things they were up to before the bombs fell), building my character, and the mash up of 40s-50s with advanced tech. These were all lacking for me. Perhaps one day I'll give it another go.

[@legiongang6707]

I think one of NV's weaknesses is the vaults/dungeons are not as good as many other Fallout games. They're passable but not great. The DLC makes up for it a bit but even NV DLC gameplay wise isn't amazing all the way through

[@idunno402]

I see the whole endeavor of "checking" your achievements as proof to be redundant; technically anyone can change a few .ini files or something else and get the achievements. The real value is in the insight you gain from having done a "completionist" playthrough, or at least to you( I assume?), the satisfaction of having done it. Having to constantly prove it to doubters is meaningless. Also, interesting fact. In my country (India) Fallout NV and 3 were never released on steam, nor distributed physically(but not banned). My guess is the cow-like creatures called Brahmin (which stands for something like a Hindu priest) made the publishers reluctant to release it here. Smart from them but unfortunate for a lot of people here (mostly young people) that don't really give a fuck how religion is depicted in media.

[@Petter1900]

6:00 You mention two bullets in the head? Pretty sure he only shot you once? Wheres this 2nd bullet coming from? Also for Dead Money, I kind of agree, but I don't think giving you all your equipment would be a good fix. You would just annihilate the place. Its supposed to make you feel helpless, and that you have to make due with what you have available. If I could roll up on it with power armor and automatic grenade launchers I don't think it would even put up a fight on the hardest difficulty. So then what? Increase the enemies? That won't make it better. I think the main issue with Dead Money is that its so samey, especially early on when its just the same looking streets and its fairly easy to get lost. I think it becomes better once you reach the Sierra Madre. I do like the story quite a bit though. The "ending" of it is something I never skip. And the whole "The hard part isn't finding it, its letting go" is a pretty strong message to end on. Nitpicking aside (I like nitpicking, ok?), great video. Enjoyed your view and agreed with most of it. 100%'ed the game with all achievements on both Xbox 360 and PC, along with probably a few thousand more hours just screwing around after that.

[@penttikoivuniemi2146]

I recently replayed this game, for the first time with the DLC, and I have to say I was really disappointed in them. They are always so celebrated, but Honest Hearts is pointless aside from Joshua Graham, who is one of the best-written characters I've ever seen, Dead Money is more of a pain in the ass than anything, Old World Blues is ridiculously dumb and doesn't really fit the tone of the rest of the game, and Lonesome Road is... practically a Bioshock game masquerading as a Fallout expansion? I especially dislike the backstory it gives the courier, I don't want to hear how I helped create and accidentally destroyed some place I've never even heard of... And all the DLC really muck up the pacing of the main game. I think the base game is strong enough on its own, and while the DLC add some backstory to the Legion and give more insight into the Brotherhood of Steel chapter in the Mojave, they mainly feel like pointless padding.

[@legiongang6707]

Yeah I'm not crazy about the DLC either. Its nice for the extra content, characters and ares to explore but not amazing.

[@Throrface]

It's such a bummer that most people hate Blood Money because of the equipment thing. When I played FNV, I was a fully melee focused character, and the knives that you get in Blood Money were absolutely freaking amazing, so I had a BLAST going through it. So basically my experience was that they took away all of my gear but gave me one of my most favourite weapons in the game almost immediately. And there were enemies that needed to be DISMEMBERED for them to die? Sign me the fuck up! And THEN they gave me a version of that amazing knife that was a 1000 degrees hotter?!

[@kingofthegrill]

So I've never done any of the DLCs but I just recently did Old World Blues for the first time, and there are a ton of hints at what specifically to expect at the Sierra Madre. They showed the Cosmic Knives, Elijah's propensity for energy weapons, the type of armor that might be available, etc. I know to expect toxins and holograms and bomb collars. So I started speccing into Energy Weapons and Unarmed, because it suits my character better than melee.

I've seen people argue that new vegas' intro is less engaging than 3 and 4's intros

I would say Fallout 2 is the best Fallout game out of them but NV is the best "new" Fallout game.

Dead Money was the most annoying DLC I’ve ever played. The story is solid and the characters are well written but I was so annoyed by the gameplay mechanics that I ended up being apathetic towards the whole thing. I just wanted it to be over. It was not a fun dlc.
