The Unmarked Hell's Motel in Fallout: New Vegas

[@VaultCourier380]

I remember visiting this place once (because i did a playthrough trying to explore every corner of the map, including DLCs). A nice rad sauna, if you ask me

He was a cut character and part of a cut quest IIRC. He even has recorded dialog. One of Trianglecity's videos talked about it.

[@imonke5303]

Yeah kinda sad, u can revive him and he'll resume some of his normal behavior, you can't interact with him as u were intended to

[@drumlessons833]

Triangle Mantis crossover would be neat

[@tsarfox3462]

Oh is that why they put this much effort in? That sucks. I could see some interesting dialogue from this guy. Seeing as how he's a ghoul and has his own set up, he's likely been there on his own long before the NCR showed up and wants to remain independent.

[@Vault13CanteenFNV]

I fucking love Triangle City. Such an awesome channel and I love how in depth he goes

[@AAllen-br8it]

@Jack and Bt Sandwich I'm pretty sure you could aid Jaxxie in retaliation in the cut quest "Put The Knife Down, Jaxxie" It's such a shame how much was cut from this amazing game.

[@buzz3070]

This is why I will always consider Fallout NV among my top 10 games. Despite the bugs and glitches, even after almost 200 hours exploring the Mojave, there is ALWAYS something off the beaten path that is missed.

I remember this place, mainly the crater itself, because I remember watching a video on where to find a free Fat Man as a kid. Back when I was Fallout 3 stan, New Vegas kicked my teeth in compared to what I went through in Fallout 3. I really fell in love with New Vegas, I also remember pretending to be sick or injured so I can stay home and play it all day.

Running a crit build with stay back and shotgun surgeon so having a reliable 20g is crucial (quick reload makes caravan better than lever in my opinion)

There's actually cut content in Hell's Motel. Dr. Rotson was originally gonna be like a wasteland doctor, who would be able to heal your radiation, addictions and such. Obsidian even assigned him the doctor topics, but perhaps didn't have enough time to record lines, as Dr. Rotson has the default lines (Which don't have ghoul lines) so they just killed him. A shame, it would've made the place a bit more cool and useful
