The Kings of Freeside | Fallout Lore

[@Synonymous101]

Hello there! Did you know the developers had planned a romance option with Cass where the Courier would challenge her to a drinking contest, resulting in both of them getting blackout drunk and waking up the next morning married. The King was going to be the officiator and would have sung "Love Me Tender. However, obtaining performance rights to the Elvis song proved too costly, so it never happened.

[@megatronjenkins2473]

Oh, that would've been cool!!! Yeah, it's sad they couldn't get the rights to even ONE Elvis song, he's so attached to Vegas IRL.

[@eddythefool]

If i was a billionaire and could blow money as i wished i would hire every single person who made New Vegas, get the rights for everything and get them to finish the game.

[@AurelionSass]

So that's where the Endurance check when you first meet her comes from. Huh, the more you know.

[@kaidorade1317]

We don’t know much about who began this establishment. All we know is that he was some sort of King

[@JustDevon1]

Thematically, it makes the most sense for The Kings to still be keeping the peace in Freeside.

[@cjtheevilghost5711]

I love how they never say his name, but we all know they talking about Elvis, the King of Rock.

[@Tommytakanawa]

No. They are actually referring to dean Martin

[@Leukavia]

You think maybe the school of impersonation avoided saying his name at any cost to avoid copyright litigation, meaning when The King got there post-war, there wasn’t anything to suggest the actual name of this alleged “king”?

[@TheRealDickGrayson]

I always assumed The King Of Pop, Michael Jackson.

Amazing video as always, I love the kings. I was also wondering if you could do an NCR lore video, the NCR as it’s own faction/nation has always intrigued me.

[@TooRudeProductions]

between the ages of 10 to 15 I did Elvis impersonation, it was awesome, but weirdly enough every karaoke DJ in Modesto, where I grew up, was also an Elvis impersonator, it was almost comical in a way

[@octavianpopescu4776]

I'm on my first playthrough. Actually, I was playing FNV as I was watching this and I already made peace between them and the NCR. I'm going to favour the NCR or go for Yes Man.

@@justadude9849 House is talking about pie in the sky bs like space exploration and the legion are cosplaying as Romans. I mean, their first guy I met has a name like Uneducated Fox (Vulpes Inculta... no joke in my native language "vulpe inculta" would translate like that). I educated him on 40 mm explosives and Caesar started sending his little girls after me. I'm Latin, we even named our country after Rome and this Caesar guy didn't understand anything from our history and you bet I'm going to teach him some history lessons. I just need to stock up on some... 40 mm teaching materials. In fact, I'm going to teach his entire camp why they're LARP losers unworthy of the glorious name of Rome. That I am strong and they are weak... as the illiterate small mammal said. 😀

[@Pokelemon3434]

@@octavianpopescu4776house is the best outcome bro, there’s literally videos debating who’s the best outcome.

[@octavianpopescu4776]

​@@Pokelemon3434 Just because there are videos supporting that idea, doesn't mean I have to agree with them. I don't trust House at all. He's disconnected from reality and talks about space exploration in a world that barely has drinkable water. If anything, Caesar, for all his megalomania is more realistic. House is a glorified casino owner at this stage. Yes, before the war he was legit important, but look at the post-war world. He seriously believes that with a city and a dam he can save humanity? He barely managed to save Vegas at the peak of his power and influence. He's 1 guy with a few robots and a bunch of tribes he can barely control. He's in absolutely no position to save anyone. He has tubes stuck in him to keep him alive. That's how weak he really is, for all the big game he's talking. Yes, if he could/would do what he says, it would be great, but he can't and wouldn't. I'm not buying his story of him being a sort of uninvolved dictator, letting people live their lives. It's the same Institute rhetoric of ignoring the "unimportant details of people's lives"... while kidnapping people to experiment on them. House is either delusional or he's lying. Either way... I don't believe him.

[@ITsYourBroScro]

That intro was just as good as the games lol HELL YA BROTHER

[@Steel-101]

The Kings are an awesome faction. Ok I love Rex but hear me out, The King should’ve been a companion. Imagine fighting apocalypse roman soldiers with Elvis Presley at your side. Also it really bummed me out that NV didn’t have any Elvis music.

[@eddythefool]

I feel like the King wouldn't sit right as a companion since he's too important to be a companion since he could easily accidentally die in hardcode mode. Also, he might be too much like Butch from Fallout 3 so Obsidian likely wanted to do something new.

[@Steel-101]

@@eddythefool Whoa WHOA! No no no. Butch is more like Dallas from the Outsiders or the Fonz from Happy Days. Also the King would definitely want to stretch his legs a bit. Kind of like Hancock from F4.

[@deftomnivore215]

I think I remember reading somewhere that Obsidian was unable to get licensing rights to Elvis's music, which is why there were none of his songs available. It sucks cause his music would have fit right in with the other songs.

I always wished one of the Companions for the Courier could've been a King! I also think that when you BECOME a King, you should get a distinctive King-only hairstyle, that would've been cool, too! So how does Red Lucy know about the mantis nest in Vault 22? I nean, sure, there's mantises around the area, but nobody's gone in and come out alive (that we know of). It's not like Giant Mantises are confined to V22, they're in many places around the Wasteland, so how does she KNOW there's a nest there? She doesn't infer there MIGHT be a nest there, she talks like she's seen pictures, or been there her own damn self. Also, how did you come to call your channel Synonymous?

On a side note to do with Khans trying to usurp, go to war with the 3 big families in the video. I know there's a bit of back story for Chance in a comic or something. But yeah would really like a deep dive on his story. Like his whole history from a kid right up to the end. Would make a kick arse side story, quest in a Fallout game or show I think. As far as raiders, always thought Khans were the most interesting.And apparently some hold some amount of honour, old school codes. Aka Regis, Papa Khan etc. They remind me of something tween some old school 50's greasers and biker gangs. Would love to see a mod where they mount up on some loud beefy looking retro futuristic Fallout version of Harley's, with ape hanger handle bars etc. Raiders on motorbikes, would suit them perfectly I think.

My ism made me blunt from the get go. Only discovering as an adult has been the first step in a journey that will never end... Sometimes, being the most blunt and honest person on the job site makes the other employees believe you are the most dependable to get whatever point the team needs communicated. Not realizing ( or perhaps taking advantage of ) our empathetic attempts. Don't get me started on dealing with managers that never actually gained management skills... it's damn near impossible for me to speak to bosses "respectfully" without being seen as having an "attitude". When in fact I'm actively stifling an autistic explosion by detatching emotionally. Being calm and precise in debate or conversation seems to scare people, I suppose. Getting overly animated definitely scares 'em away... i just never win.

To be honest I always saw the Kings a bit on the absurd side of things.... but fallout good absurd things, for some reason it's "believable" such as samurai bands, the Moods in UK, the punks..... its absurd asthetically but nevertheless they exist. On the other hand the atom cats in FO 4 look to me outright stupid. It's like: they've Watched Grease and then began to cosplay using military degree vehicles and they're only porpoise it's to: Add bigger fenders to that old sherman tank and paint some flames on it. Other than that they do nothing. And they are surrounded by powerful armed groups of interest with enough porpoises, objetives and power in general to steal those T 60 armors. I mean, they look like a faction that I could think as kid after playing need for speed and then playing with my hot wheels. The King's in New vegas are more like the Hells angels of california... yep a bit asthetically absurd, but they are a paramilitary organisation with a clear hierarchy, power, resources, objectives and or goals and a serious code. That's the thing with new vegas it seems absurd sometimes but then you compare it to things in reality and you end like..... hmmm ok this has some logic.

[@freddo7404]

The Atom cats are literally just a group of people in an old car garage. Its different from freeside. And in lore id imagine freeside is a whole lot bigger, therfore the kings would be too. If I lived in freeside id wanna join a gamg of people who not only look after each other, but look snazzy while doing so. I see them as believable.
