[@MorriganAutumn]

@@XachXack why?

[@eazyv2069]

@@MorriganAutumn Supposedly Bethesda sabotaged Obsidian by not fulfilling obligations they themselves committed to, like robust playtesting for QA and providing the team with whatever expertise they needed to get up to speed with Bethesda's proprietary dev tools. Given Bethesda's history of sabotaging studios, this isn't really much of a stretch in plausibility. On the other side of the coin I've also heard things like the insanely short development time for NV wasn't something Bethesda forced on Obsidian, but was rather a deadline Obsidian's upper management pushed for completely against the wishes of the studio's actual development staff. Obsidian's management is apparently infamous for being generally bad to work underneath according to ex-employees. It seems all around like Obsidian's devs were trapped between their own incompetent management and Bethesda's usual scummy practices when it comes to working with outside studios they can't just roll over.

[@ralcogaming7674]

@@Toxic_Korgi that's actually not a lie, bethesda was responsible for a great deal of issues when it came to NV development. The time constraint lie isn't a lie when you realise obsidian had to use Bethesda's engine which they were unfamiliar with and as we all know is a piece of junk code wise. Learning such a system takes time which they already didn't have. From there, when you have chris avallone as narrative director you should know hes got big ideas and those ideas take time which they didn't have. This lie as you called it is 100% true when you realise what Bethesda did to obsidian and how their actions directly impacted them. As well as Bethesda publishing the game meaning Bethesda did set the release date not obsidian.

The 5th ending might be one where the dam is destroyed. Maybe like a bomb or even having the Boomers destroying the dam with the B-29. A destroyed dam would probably also make the strip turn from a city of lights into one darker than Megaton in Fallout 3. Would've been great to experience the Mojave sky that is not lit up by the strip showing that the Mojave has become a hollow husk like the Sierra Madre.

[@moongus_makes]

I agree, I was thinking the 5th ending could have been some kind of meltdown option where you blow up everything like the dam and maybe even Vegas with a nuke or something, complete chaotic evil option that could require bad karma

[@Number1Rival]

@@moongus_makes Makes you think what would a destroyed New Vegas look like? I would've loved to walk through a destroyed New Vegas and be able to walk into the ruins of the Lucky 38 where the Penthouse ruins is now a part of the open world. Would've been a memorable moment where one of the most decorated interior with an overlook turns into a complete wreck. If the dam were destroyed, maybe the Colorado river would be higher/flooded and Lake Mead would be slightly lower.

I'm usually not a fan of re-releases on a newer device but doing a filled out FNV (added cut content, post game, better graffics and maybe a new dlc or 2) followed by a FNV2 or a fallout set out in the west would be great and rake in cash for the company

[@daniellandry4226]

Actually I think microsoft has both Bethesda and Obsidian currently so a re released new vegas is possible

[@BillehBobJoe]

I don’t see how that would work, what I’ve taken away from TC is new vegas was in development long before it was ever even a thing officially, i.e. the pen & paper games the devs talk about Plus I don’t see a scenario where Microsoft says “Bethesda, Obsidian, work together! Chop! Chop!” going anywhere but a firey death

[@tomuhawk96]

How many people that worked on New Vegas are still at Obsidian anyway? You've heard the stories. The best first person RPG, lying in the middle of weaker games. Playing it, that's not the hard part. It's letting go.

[@jackspnc]

I would take literally only added content. The DLC is perfect for me, I wouldn't want anything extra apart from what would have been in if time permitted.

[@Xegethra]

Some cut stuff would be nice, but not everything. Having stuff for the sake of having it, isn't so good, it can just bloat the game, or it doesn't fit, or they couldn't fix it, or it ruins story...so it goes. Sometimes it can be the reverse of that, but that is the dilemma of creating a videogame. Development has to end somewhere otherwise, when does it end? So you throw stuff out for one reason or another. Having all cut content would break it....even more, I know this is Fallout we are talking about here.

[@DinsRune]

I think it's honestly for the best that the post-game was left out. One of my gripes with Skyrim is how much the world _doesn't_ change with everything the player can accomplish. The player can kill the Emperor, destroy the dragons, unleash a horde of vampires and kick out the Empire, and things will be largely the same as they were at the start of the game. It makes your big choices feel... not. Having everything instead be sort of shrouded in mystery and not letting you _see_ the world you're creating maintains the feeling that nothing is the same after the Dam, letting your imagination fill in the gaps. Funnily, it's an example of telling being better than showing.

[@variantgamer9885]

Fallout NV isn’t Skyrim. A post-game could’ve worked. It could’ve actually shown how your actions changed the Mojave

[@randybobandy9688]

I think they made the right choice to cut it if they weren't going to be able to do it right, instead of just saying fuck it

May not necessarily be a good idea. The developers of FNV have gone on record saying that some of the cut content is because they run out of time, but some of it is stuff they ended up not liking and so they actively chose to remove it from the finished game. If we think of a game during development time as the draft for a novel, some of it HAS to be removed to improve the quality of the final result.

[@theghostofthomasjenkins9643]

nah, i'd rather leave up to modders of F4NV. let them get the core game out, then other people can try implement changes. and kokeshi is right. not all of it was cut because of time. a lot of it was cut because it wasn't good enough.

[@SeanNaut]

@@BIadelores Followers are pretty closely aligned with Benny, they had the ability to hack yes man and were probably pretty well liked by the people of the Mojave. Imo, with Courier backing Followers would make a good degree of sense.

[@BIadelores]

@@SeanNaut It's not because of the Followers' status or views, the Followers are not a fighter faction. They don't have anyone with arms except guards they hire for protection. They have no aspirations of taking over any territory and even if they did they are completely lacking in the appropriate armaments, or numbers, to even give it a try. The idea that they'd be at Hoover dam fighting makes no logistical sense for the Followers. The Courier would either have to somehow one man carry an entire faction at the battle with no good back up in a place where everyone wants to kill him, or essentially hand over the territory to the followers after taking it over with the securitrons. That would make some kind of sense to an extent, but again the Followers are not interested in claiming territory, all they basically want is to just provide for the population. And if they somehow forget this to claim all of the Mojave, all they're doing is opening themselves up to getting massacred when the Legion and/or the NCR are done licking their wounds, as they have no adequate way to protect themselves. And to top it all off, in the independent ending, the Followers get super overwhelmed by the amount of problems the independence caused. If they can't even manage to support freeside/Vegas there's no chance of them managing to support the entire Mojave.

[@marcusperilli266]

Could of been a peaceful ending, with Caesar once being a follower and his respect for them and the factions links to New California, maybe some sort of diplomatic solution could of unfolded between the legion and NCR. Or maybe the followers joined with the brotherhood to take the dam by force for the technology uno

[@BIadelores]

@@marcusperilli266 Something like that, the Brotherhood thing, is what I would've liked. Personally I feel the independent vegas ending is undercooked and if it was me, I would've made it the most complex, and one of the ways I would've done so was by giving the ability to setup trade routes (like fo4) and set up diplomatic agreements between all the smaller factions so you can effectively create a larger super-faction of sorts that will help you kick out the NCR and the Legion at Hoover Dam. An ending where upon the Courier leaves the general role of leadership at the Followers' hands, due to their positive reputation with the population, would actually make sense, as long as the rest of the tribes/gangs/whatever can agree to put down their hostilities and provide the much needed equipments and supplies. For services in return, of course. If a proper (not fanmade) Fallout New Vegas remake is ever made that would be at the very top of my wishlist along with a post-game ending and a sprint button.

I’d I had to guess what the “Fifth ending” was, I’m assuming it was working with Benny. However I imagine it was cut because it was too similar to both Mr House and Yes Man

[@kokeshishikeko9775]

Which is a damn shame, because Benny is hilarious and has a really interesting backstory, and you could easily argue that his plans for New Vegas were the best (freedom from both Legion & NCR, but without Mr. House's overly strict Big Brother-style leadership). Add in the fact that ruling alongside a Loki-type character is far more entertaining than doing it on your own or with the "partnership" of a robot who literally can't ever say no. Plus he has "Pet The Dog" moments that show that is is not irredeemable (there are two routes at The Tops where he lets you go unharmed instead of sending assassins after you, plus he leaves Emily Ortal alone even though she is a dangerous witness who could tell his plans to House), so there was the potential for a villain's redemption arc too, and those are always fun. I 100% would have chosen to side with Benny if I had been allowed to.

[@wrxbumpin]

[@GlitterGothBunny]

Some people are saying they like when games end (which is totally cool) but I think in FNV the keep playing after the ending would've worked so well because of the reputation system. The whole game certain things actually alter how you can interact with groups or quests you do and I think they could've done some very neat things with post ending play. I mean they let Skyrim be playable after Alduin and no one really says anything about it and dragons are still tryna kill you. That just ending would've made more sense than FNV ending imo

[@sirduncan3848]

I think the fifth ending has to do with father Eliijah. In dead money if you have maximum negative karma with the NCR and do the right things/pick the right dialogue you can help him spread the cloud to the mojave and take over basically.

Dead Money was already in the works before New Vegas’ release, so the fifth ending could be the Elijah ending, although walking through a very dead world might not be all that fun

[@IcefireC67]

I had this batshit insane idea for a post-game for new vegas weeks ago Essentially, you would join your chosen faction to take over the other 2 "bases" he other factions occupy And then, after thats over your chosen faction would begin to slowly populate the other towns and cities That way, it doesnt cause too many issues when establishing a post-game

new vegas is one of the Games that deserves a Remaster like Skyrim.

maybe its possible now that Microsoft owns both Obsidian and Bethesda.

imagine if this game is remastered and these additions are able to be put in, as the main selling point of the remaster along with more stability and better graphics, gameplay, etc

I want ALL the cut content as a mod, would make me play the game at least 6 times more. Such an amazing game, can't get enough of it.

I honestly would have no problem with them updating their games to add in post game content after release with other releases in the future.

I wonder if the Fallout 4 New Vegas remake mod will include all the cut content from the original New Vegas? Can someone, please tell me if they are doing that or not?

No other than very small cut content changes, they're keeping it as to the original as possible.

Hi have been wondering about the quest Why Can't We Be Friends? in Vault 19. helping Samuel Cooke or Philip Lem form an alliance between the Great Khans and the escaped convicts. Has no consequences and no impact on the Mojave as if something has landed on The Cutting Room Floor 📽🎬

[@byronholt2031]

If you manage to kill every brotherhood member (excluding Veronica) without being detected (and therefore not losing reputation) AND ending the game with either the legion or Mr House (and I am also pretty sure you can't make an NCR-Brotherhood alliance for this to work) you can actually get the "Brotherhood takes Helios One" ending slide on the current release.

[@JakeRyanBooth]

Had they been given 3 or 4 years instead of a YEAR and some change, New Vegas would’ve been an entirely different game than what we got. Even as a rushed game, it still remains as the most popular among fans.

[@emred4653]

5th ending is probably when dam gets heavily damaged and none of the sides can use it

[@tanithsfinest]

@2:32 the fifth ending is real! Wild wasteland perk, plus lead belly early on. you then kill benny, take the chip to house, and eat it. no platinum chip ending.

[@jdjdjjdd7180]

it’s a mod bro 💀💀

[@jcferrell931]

I think the fifth ending is in reference to if one sided with Yes Man and whether or not they destroyed the bunker. Considering the stark differences in outcomes based on that lone decision, the post-endgame world would likely require a whole separate state.

[@metronicmagician1816]

I’m weirdly happy they decided to cut post game entirely instead of implementing anything since with all the stuff that goes down once you finish the game, and with how much stuff that you do in the game that directly effects post battle at the dam I don’t think there would ever be a way to properly implement a post game. There’s just too much narrative stuff going on, and with so much of the world directly connected to the events of the main story it really wouldn’t work to have all that stuff get updated with new dialogue, quest alterations, character changes, etc. while still maintaining a world that was similar enough to the Mojave for you to continue playing like you did before. Like ignoring the present time crunch they had I don’t think this could have possibly worked on that gen of consoles at all, and even if they did fully plan for end game content from the beginning implementing all of that would have been way too much for them. Like it worked for 3 and 4 since they’re rather binary in what happens afterword, and since most of their narrative payoff for quests are done within the game through random encounters and hard changes to the world instead of an end slate the world can change while still staying similar enough for the player to continue their adventure.

[@nightghost4174]

I enjoyed playing fallout new vegas hopefully they'll bring that game back to life again

[@chompythebeast]

Possible the fifth ending had to do with the Followers of the Apocalypse, since it was once possible to give them the Platinum Chip. Also, the cut lines regarding the Legion potentially occupying the Strip in the event of their victory, it could just be that the Legion has come to the Strip, but that they haven't enacted any major changes yet, though the characters expect they'll come. This would allow the Strip to remain for the most part unchanged in all ending scenarios

[@ratchet1122]

Wonder if you’ll be doing the dlc as well. I always wondered if honest hearts has cut content since there is no option to help the white legs. I mean if you play a legion character you want to help the white legs.

[@GlitterGothBunny]

That dlc always seemed a bit empty to me though I loved the rain, fresh water (tho not sure how thatd be explained) and reading those journals from that one survivor. His story was so sad.

[@ratchet1122]

Yeah I would have changed quite a lot to make the story better. The intro cutscene sets up the people of new Canaan but then tells you that they evacuated earlier which is disappointing. I would have changed the beginning to have you and the caravan in the middle of a battle between the white legs and the dead horses and during the battle you follow a white leg tribal or follows chalk. Which faction you follow is the one you side with. I also would have put the new canaanites in the dlc but to do that would require expanding the map a bit and changing the story to accommodate them. It’s hard but the hard work would have made honest hearts a better dlc

[@ratchet1122]

As for the caravan they would survive if you chose to go with follows chalk and they would probably become merchants till the end of the dlc. One of the quests they give is to set up a trade deal with new Canaan and the dead horses and sorrows since that’s the whole reason they came in the first place. If you went with the white legs however, you would be forced to kill them eventually since you are in the way of them trading with new Canaan but if your speech skill was high enough you could intimidate them into leaving peacefully

[@ratchet1122]

I meant got so many ideas on improving new Vegas. If I was a modder I would put it into the game. I probably have over 100 quest ideas for the game like powder hanger quests where you help the doctor learn to treat addiction and rads which was cut or help them take over primm which was probably another way to settle the quest my kind of town. I would have even allowed them to fight with you in the second battle of Hoover dam. If you got them to side with house, then he would reward them by making them the 4th family of vagas. If you somehow convinced them to help the nice them they would get pardons. If with the legion then they would betray them and all the powder hangers would be dead. If independent, they would terrorize the Mojave for years.

[@ratchet1122]

It’s also quite obvious that the fiends were supposed to be a faction with reputation but they ran out of time. Their quests would have been taking over outer Vegas and cam mccarren. One of the quests I would have put was helping cook cook poison the ncr food supply since they are having trouble with food in the game and cook cook being good with food would know how to poison them. This had the effect of lowering the ncr health to make it easier to kill them when you attack. The second cook cook quest would be to kidnap Betsy so you can use her as bait to lure first recon onto ambush and kill them, further weakening the camp. I also would have a quest where you plant bombs in the sewers so when you attack you can create holes in the ground where fiends can come out of so they don’t all appear from one spot and get destroyed. Driver Nephi would have you do quests to take over free side like kill mean son of a bitch or make an alliance with the scorpions gang for backup in the assault on west side. Violets quests would be harder since she’s the craziest of the fiends. She probably would be dealing with the ncr dogs in the camp. Finally before the assault motor runner would tell you they received a message from the spy in the camp for you to meet them and you would do the quest I put a spell on you. After that Curtis would help hsu escape the camp when you attack and retreat to Hoover dam where he could sabotage it from the inside which means more quests at Hoover dam. That’s what I would have done with the fiends

[@JacksterDude12]

The cut dialogue alone made me seriously geek out as a Fallout fan. Thanks for the effort dude, great video 👍🏼

Maybe since Obsidian and Bethesda can work together if microsoft says so, we might get a Vegas Remake with all cut content restored

[@Darknal199]

That's an oxymoron if I've ever seen one^

[@ladonmccabe]

I love when game devs misuse jargon to cover their asses. A compromise implies that something is given to replace or meet in the middle of something that cannot be achieved... which did not happen in the case of the post game, which was just removed.

[@dannymckenzie8329]

The 5th one could have been planned for benny. I get that yes man has a ending thats well known, but the decision to befriend benny was intended to be available and there was a whole inaccessable area connected to a service elevator in his suite. So i think maybe benny had other plans than yes man had come up with and with the courier around yes man would have been less necessry. Bit of a stretch, but, ring a ding ding baby.

[@AidenRKrone]

I don't think Benny was ever planned to assist the player (or vice versa). There is cut content in which Benny tracks the Courier down and attacks him after having been released from Caesar's tent by the Courier. Benny was always planned to be a back-stabbing rat. In the base game, if Benny is set free, he leaves Caesar's tent and disappears from the game, telling the Courier that his days in the Mojave are done.

[@dannymckenzie8329]

@@AidenRKrone i dont like killing benny. Hes a good character. I mean hes the first face you see when you start a game. Why shouldnt he become an ally, like, benny was once a tribal, theres allusion to the courier being one as well, think of Ulysses, someone you can either kill with a vengeance for no good reason, or befriend and learn about your back story, a reused character, removed from the base game who was supposed to be a companion with sentiments toward the legion. Fighting creates powerful friendships, especially if neither party manages to kill the other. Fallout 2, one of the masters mutants, fought a brotherhood knight for days until they bith gave up and became friends and started a settlement. That same mutant looks over jacobstown. Theres so much to fallout that is present in new vegas yet so much that isnt. Most of what was removed is peobably on a old back up hard drive somewhere in a land fill. I mean, the canonical ending of fallout 1 wasnt even obtainable.

[@fadedflame2537]

There are 5 endings. 2 of which are independent. So the 5 endings were as follows. House ending Ncr ending Legion ending Independent #1 - with robot army Independent #2 - no robot army ---------------------- These have to be 2 different endings due to how drastic the choice changes the ending

[@HellishSpoon]

I think the 5th ending could be like a alternate yes man ending where the courier decided to make all the destructive choices Basically serving as "killed every one" ending

[@ngybrid]

Since bought the game in 2015 I've never once finished the main story. My entire playthrough nearly entirely for mods testing and fitting mods into the game without much issues later on, only to have game-breaking issues later on and abandon the game until many months later. Repeat it for 4-5 years. What I thought back then the game have to be in near-perfect state or I wouldn't progress into the main story. Then I found Viva New Vegas mod guide by Qolore7. That mod guide gave resolve that me or players like me needs. Then I found FPGE integrated in the guide. With FPGE and Viva New Vegas I finally had the chance to actually finish the game this time. Now I'm halfway through Lonesome Road after finishing You'll Know When It Happens quest. Big thanks to Qolore7 for the Viva New Vegas mod guide, Kazopert for the FPGE mod, and mods that exists in VNV mod guide and their mod authors.
