Whats the Best New Vegas Neighborhood to Live in?

I love aerotech park because it displays most of the negatives of the NCR on a small scale, too many people not enough resources or soldiers to keep real order. The one officer in charge of the park will abuse his power and execute Keith because he insulted him when arresting him. The only real protection in the park is from raiders and animals but there’s still a chance you get sold into slavery or fall to addiction

[@nvRanger]

Such a good point. It’s a microcosm of their larger issues.

[@amokone]

Thats what i call some niche content and HELL, im all Here for it!

[@nvRanger]

Thank you! Great to see others are interested in this niche.

[@chrisnewfield4853]

3:15 I see two possible explanations here. One - the "Suite X" label was assigned by the *current* residents, in which case the abandoned building would not be counted as a suite and skipped over, given that it's boarded off and most likely unsuitable for repair. Perhaps Suite 100 was initially thought to be suitable for habitation, but since has become uninhabited. The other explanation is that the "Suite X" label is a pre-war holdover, in which case the abandoned building may be an administrative office.

[@nvRanger]

Yes! Especially on the 2nd explanation. I was thinking afterwards it could be the central office. Both are plausible 👍

[@FreeJazzEnthusiast]

I think any debate could be silenced by just the pure fact that pretty much any of these places are preferable to almost every livable place in Fallout 3. Like Rivet City maybe, but holy fuck the East Coast got its shit WRECKED.

[@nvRanger]

Yea I’m looking forward to checking it out. So many Fallout 3 settlements are hellish. Nukes in the city center, living in an irradiated river, and like stm said, jagged rusted metal everywhere.

[@IDKatThisPoint-n9g]

I kind of wish that Vegas was more urban in the game outside of South Vegas. The Brutalist and Art Deco architecture of major US cities in Fallout looks and feels great, and it's a shame that in Vegas outside of the Strip there is only really Downtown areas and Suburbs. Sure the map is really downscaled from the IRL Mojave and you can't fit a big city, but more urban architecture like we see in Fiend territory or Fallout 3's DC could be fit straight east of McCarran and the Sharecropper farms (where in the game there are suburbs) because in real life the airport is surrounded by high-rise buildings and such on all sides, maybe add some urban architecture east of the Repconn HQ to represent the remains of the city of Henderson, maybe a bit around Westside and North Vegas and so on.

[@nvRanger]

Completely agree, I would imagine the Urban potential was crushed by the limited console hardware and short dev time. I would love to see New Vegas properly reimagined with a dense urban setting like we get with Fallout 3 and (especially) 4.

[@ernestoacosta7918]

15:32 one thing about freeside is that in the FNV comic that came with preorder bonuses, freeside’s streets are FULL, there’s a possibility that there was a funneling trying to enter or exit the Strip. Meaning that the buildings in Freeside are possibly taken up in the lore. On top of that in the comic, the Strip streets are about half as full as in game, lore wise the streets are inverted, Freeside is full of poor people who lost most of their caps and are abandoned in Vegas, and the Strip is full of those living their few good days before going back to the wasteland.

[@nvRanger]

Well explained! Freeside definitely is missing that overpopulated slums angle that even the followers like Julie Farkas seem to suggest. It's almost jarringly vacant with more faction members like the Kings populating the place.

[@secicu]

Gameplay and story slash lore segregation, the comic is how it should be. Generally No game can have the populations they should, engine limitation. Maybe sim city games are fairly realistic on that front

[@nvRanger]

@ I think New Vegas was particularly limited in this regard though. Especially for the world it strived to create.

[@Raultoasterfixer]

Me personally boss, I think westside or outer freeside is the best choice for you, Westside have a militia and outside of the human traffickers its not too bad, a pawn shop and had a garden last I was there. Outer Freeside has the followers of the apocolypse and the silver rush/atomic wrangler. Inner freeside has the general populace of the kings and what not. Just my two cents boss

[@Raultoasterfixer]

I forgot about mick and ralphs boss. That too.

[@Raultoasterfixer]

Thank you so much for this, next is faction locations I hope, taking into account what you’d have to do for each faction in order to live there

[@nvRanger]

Thank you for all the comments! I have lots of ideas but that’s definitely one in the pipeline

[@B-zk9bt]

I wish The Strip had residential areas because it’d be so interesting to see what people’s lives would be like, their attitudes towards their neighbours in Freeside, Westside, North Vegas, etc. How people living there would react to the events that happen in Nevada and inside The Strip.

[@nvRanger]

That’s a good idea, almost like an elitist bunch in their bubble. Feel like the casino families could’ve been fleshed out much more to provide that.

[@hatchmaster_5745]

The King might be a warlord but he's reasonably benevolent and he keeps the place stable and trims at least the worst of the corruption. As long as he remains in control of the kings, things will likely be better than anywhere else in vegas in freeside, but once he dies, or is overthrown, or if his men shatter things will get really bad really fast as they often do in crumbling warlord states

[@nvRanger]

That’s a good point for the potential future I missed. He will leave a power vacuum on his wake and with people like Pacer there to fill it, you could have a war with the Van Graffs on a heart beat and chaos all about.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

Another thing on the cap check is that we might own 2000 caps, but not in cash. Most of it would be bound in property. We might have a house or a farm, we might have weapons and armor, we might have food. That is all part of our property, but the strip security only checks for cash.

[@nvRanger]

Strip security only checks for caps, and the question is relevant to what you have on you when you’re plopped in New Vegas. You could earn your way up to it, though that would likely just be a waste.

[@nerdman127]

Saw this just now. Immediate Sub! Exactly what I was hoping to see dude!

[@nvRanger]

Glad to deliver, thanks!

[@Shisha2025]

Westside no question. I think Dermot and St James never bothered kidnapping people from Westside because they were terrified of the militia. They had far easier pickings at Aerotek. I also wouldn't be surprised if eventually Westside started trading food for medical care with the Followers.

[@nvRanger]

Yea Westside already has connections with the Followers through the Co-op and Tom Anderson. I'd also imagine its easier to make refugees disappear. People go missing in Westside, someones gonna notice quick and look for the problem.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

I have a thought about why there is suite 250 in the office park. Perhaps it was built later. So they first had 100, then added 200, then added 300, then added 400. But when they built another building, which was placed between 200 and 300 (because there was room) they decided to put the number between 200 and 300 as well. Or perhaps there was a bigger building 200 before, but at some point it was demolished and two smaller buildings took it's place. Same explanation for 200 and 250, even if 200 and 200a would've worked just as well.

[@nvRanger]

Could be, I like another theory someone mentioned about it being an Admin office of sorts, so it goes unnumbered.

[@shutinshogun]

I would like to see versions of these in Fallout 3 and 4, but I would love see a video on the economies each each town and/or city in new vegas. Which make the most money in caps. Or what has the most diverse economies, what are their exports, wealth in/equality etc etc. And then maybe a economy tierlist. Though I understand that is likely a whole lot of homework. Still good video my dude!

[@nvRanger]

Ay gimme all the homework! Love the ideas BUT, I don’t want to copy Any Austin’s stuff so I’m unsure about covering economics.

[@shutinshogun]

@nvRanger I mean that's fair. But he hasn't done on exactly this so I think you have room to get a video in on it before he might. You also don't necessarily have to get as "hard figures" about it as he might and you can keep it to more of the abstract idea angle like you did with these. Hell you might even try to collab if you wanted to shoot for the moon. But anyway I understand you're concern and I'll leave your channel to you. With these videos you have earned my sub and I can't wait to see what's next regardless.

[@nvRanger]

Very kind of you and I appreciate the suggestions. I’m not leaving anything off the table. Just want to be mindful.

[@nvRanger]

[@SepSyn]

LFG baby. Always been a Westside gal. Enjoy that town every time, especially since you can clean up it's one major glaring issues with extreme prejudice. I'd have considered Freeside as one neighborhood and added Aerotech to a larger neighborhood: East Vegas. Many populated houses by NCR folk, Caravan folk, Runners, Vegas citizens and presumably some Followers as well. Plenty of extra room. Close to Clinic, Caravan, Runners, Croppers, Vegas itself, Grab N Gulp, etc. your pick of where and how ya work. Lot of traffic through the area but pretty sparse on threats. NCR has a strong but not dominant presence and most of the threats would be Fiends coming out of the sewers(hell of a commute). While that's a fairly big issue security wise, people still occupy the area and seem to have a handle on it. No walls, but NCR hold positions around the area and that's a solid substitute. Various business provide for food, water, and other goods so as long as you can find work(plentiful with some of the best variety you can ask for) you should be set on goods. It's such a bizarre, often overlooked area that often gets parsed out into other factions but I enjoy looking at it as a whole And lest we forget: East Vegas is one of perhaps only two heavily populated areas of the Mojave with an institutional response to folks who lose their way. The followers provide this for Freeside but the aforementioned Aerotech park is a key feature if we look at East Vegas as a whole. A lot of travelers and refugees end up in the area but have a place to go with leadership, medical care etc. they're also defended within the park. This is a pretty significant boon for the quality of life in East Vegas as the most prominent "to and from" area of Vegas. Another one of those areas I just always have to stop and wander through when I come across it. It's almost peaceful! Excellent video, hoping to see a factions living ranking in the future. These are endlessly fun!

[@nvRanger]

That's a great case for east vegas and if that were the consideration it likely would compete heavily with Westside for S tier. Oddly enough it seems like that was originally intended to be an identified section of the map, but the only reference I can find is Mrs. Hostetler referring to her neighborhood as such and that it was noted on an early rendition of the map. It's hard to tie that general area into one location and know where its exact cut off points, especially given how the other neighborhoods are consistently organized. Nonetheless, definitely worth considering as I missed a big neighborhood there. I agree it is a very interesting part of the map. Close to downtown, but suddenly rural.

[@SepSyn]

@nvRanger glad you enjoyed the perspective! Hope you'll still consider giving the various factions the same treatment. Looking forward to whatever ya come out with, very fun videos!

21:29, That seems like one of the best options in the wasteland. With no AC or any other way to stay cool spending most of the day out of the sun and near water sounds like a good option. Not to mention its unlikely there is that much waste left after 200+ years of decay. might even be a good way to make money if you can find mushrooms as they can be a good food source.

[@konmx]

I believe that because of the nature of Debt Collector as a quest (you just going around a simply collecting debts from people and dealing with McCaffery) the Atomic Wrangler has decent potential as a house if you were just an ordinary person. While you do need to make it on to the Strip, you could try to run more errands for the Garrets or do some other tasks to save up 2k caps (might take a while, but the 2k cap check is just that, a check not a purchase) or buy a counterfeit passport. Then deal with McCaffery as you please and you have a permanent house.

[@nvRanger]

It's certainly a valid route to attempt but I do not think that becoming a debt collector in Freeside is a particularly safe one. I also find it strange that in game you can just murder McCafffery. Probably more realistic to assume you would be arrested or killed for starting a gun fight on the Strip, especially if you're not the Courier House has been waiting for.

Westside also has the Thorn in terms of defense, granted it'd be a last resort, but I doubt many Fiends or raiders would be keen on attacking a place that would send Cazadores, Nightstalkers, Rad Scorpions, or even a Deathclaw out if the community is desperate enough, it'd be like picking a fight with someone welding a fatman indoors, yeah they're just as likely, if not moreso to kill themselves, but do you want to be there when they use it? Also, bringing it back to Jacobstown, with Mean Sonofabitch showing they'll at least tolerate Super Mutants, West Side and Jacobstown could make a trade deal, since they're not too far apart, especially if Jacobstown expanded their borders like I suggested in the comments for the best towns video

Yea someone else mentioned the same. I think that’s the best bet

[@joem1107]

This video will have 500k views one day bro just watch...

[@nvRanger]

I hope you’re right🤞

[@OrphanBlaztr]

you gonna do this for fallout 3 or 4?

[@nvRanger]

for sure, its not next, but its in the pipeline

[@resdyne9590]

What graphics mods do you use?

[@nvRanger]

all of them. Main ones are new vegas reloaded, desert natural weathers and neutral weathers

[@sz4136]

realistically the safest option in this area would be to get employed by crimson caravan (probably to shovel brahmin shit), they provide you with food, shelter, protection and reliable income

[@nvRanger]

That would be an excellent plan. As long as they have room or need for you and don’t cut you loose randomly. Not a lot of employee rights I’d assume 😅

[@sz4136]

@nvRanger i think you might be surprised iirc their employees have contracts if you want more details look into the quest with the girl working there that can move to boomers you can talk to McLafferty to help with her contract

[@k.s.vilrod1964]

Roads out of the commonwealth video when?

[@nvRanger]

Not sure about that specifically but definitely headed the commonwealth soon

[@Mattatar]

modlist video 🙏

[@nvRanger]

modlist is in description, don't plan on doing modding content anytime soon

[@Mattatar]

darnit. Regardless, great work on your videos!

[@nvRanger]

@ appreciated

[@philcassidy3823]

Red Rock canyon, putting aside that there is no water or food there

[@nvRanger]

yea its a wonder the Khans don't try and take over the Spring Mt. State park, ranch the bighorners, and start a farm on the seemingly fertile land with a water source.

[@philcassidy3823]

​​@@nvRanger yes they definitely should. But I think the khans are weakend since bitter springs and part of the deal they have with the NCR demands they stay in red rock. Besides I'm not sure if they have the manpower to take on the vipers or jackals

[@nvRanger]

Good point, probably just trying to stop the bleeding for now

[@Bxkiller]

First btw

[@nvRanger]

your speed is undeniable Mr. Krabs. I must've left a penny in the comments

[@MissStargazer95]

18:02 I’d be offering my services as a cook to the Garrett twins and look to get by that way

[@nvRanger]

That's a solid plan, drunks looking to fill their bellies is definitely a method they could profit from.

[@Red-ff5hg]

which enb?

[@nvRanger]

None, New Vegas Reloaded, desert natural weathers, neutral weathers, and more at work. Mod list has a lighting section

[@undeadsweetheart7508]

Other than the human trafficking, I think Westside is your best bet.

[@nvRanger]

agreed, that and Fiends. Believe Miguel's grandfather was killed by them, but they are less of a threat since the NCR moved in McCarran.

[@dameforrest]

LFGGGG

[@nvRanger]

🙏

[@secicu]

Hours long videos are fun though.. Lol😅😆🙃

[@nvRanger]

noted, I might not go for hours but maybe I won't aim to keep things tight

[@secicu]

@nvRanger 👍😁🫡💯🌞 Sweet!

[@secicu]

@nvRanger Nice!

[@CanofAnxiety]

Makes you wish New Vegas was real

[@nvRanger]

Yea, same… until heat and dehydration set in

[@lelmen4456]

HE PUT HIS WHAT IN THE CHEMS?

[@nvRanger]

WHO PUT THEIR CHEMS WHERE?! IDK

[@fordmodelT1957]

27:20 LMAO

[@nvRanger]

that was a very satisfying moment

[@BoniMayne]

If I lived in the mojave I’d stay far away from nv

[@nvRanger]

I’d agree. Most towns in the wastes seem much safer in many regards

[@notreallydaedalus]

Wow... Forcing animals to fight to the death is more ethical than slot machines... Not a take i expected to hear today.

[@nvRanger]

They're fictional mutant animals in a world where they actively compete with humans. I don't think its anywhere near commensurate with a modern comparison. Preying on people in a world where wealth disparity is as skewed as it is in Fallout with slot machines is pretty dystopian. Especially when many of those people end up in dangerous slums and refugee camps where children are kidnapped and trafficked. It's not that wild of a take.

[@STRELOKDAV_COC2233]

Hey please can you make a bigger video on the same topic ik that you have a life but I'll appreciate it

[@nvRanger]

😅I don’t really have time for a life so we’ll see.

[@mactysonkarate]

Could you do videos like this for Fallout 3 and New Vegas too?

[@nvRanger]

Of course, I will continue!

[@choseuntel]

I wouldn't mind these videos being hours long 🤔

[@nvRanger]

Noted, not sure if I will but it’s good to get feedback.

[@PowerfulRift]

There are people who live in New Vegas though.

[@nvRanger]

like who? Members of the Casino Family, Mr. House?, Those stationed at the NCR Embassy?

[@PowerfulRift]

@ I’m sure there’s real estate going on there we aren’t currently aware of, anyway there’s no overthinking it. I really enjoyed the video!

[@nvRanger]

@ Perhaps in the version of the Strip that wasn't cut during the short development. Thanks!
