[@CephalopodsRock]

The outside world building is crucial for New Vegas in particular since it is such a hub of commerce in the region. People come from hundreds of miles around to gamble, drink, and patronize brothels. Obsidian had to establish where all these people where coming from, and what the backstory of those places where

[@nvRanger]

[@seendon5394]

As a kid I was always fascinated by unreachable places, like I didn't understand I was playing inside a skybox. When I was a map developer for Half-life 2 Deathmatch and Counter-Strike: Source I ALWAYS added excess details and unreachable interesting areas to my maps, to facilitate that same fascination in young players joining my server.

[@nvRanger]

Love that other people get what I am talking about and that's awesome you worked on both of those games and took the time to do that. When I was younger I was always intrigued by what was going on outside the playable area, now that I am older I am impressed someone took the time to put detail into those areas.

A fun Easter egg in the original Fallout game is you can actually find New Vegas on the map, you just can't actually explore it. It's listed as city ruins but it's location is exactly where Vegas would be situated a little northeast of the Hub

Right, I wanted to leave the Divide out for its own video. Interesting history there.

@@nvRanger also the hill up from Mercury, NV is most likely where the Sierra Madre is supposed to be; given the vicinity to The Divide and Big MT and that in early development it was meant to be found in the map. EDIT: Big MT is broadly in some place southwest of Pahrump and north of Baker

I really need to know where Filly and Shady Sands are. Previously Shady was in Death Valley but now it seems to be close to Hollywood, not sure i like it. What does it mean for the locations of Vault 13 and 15, what about Junktown, the Hub and of course, the Boneyard. (I imagine the Boneyard is in southern LA) also how the hell did the Master not find Vault 33 or 4!? They are very clearly advertised and the Cathedral was very close to Santa Monica

[@AmericanImperium1776]

@@eagleowl833 Yeah, I pointed that out too. Honestly, I just think Bethesda and Amazon really didn’t care to look back at the older games.

[@nvRanger]

Great idea, I’d really need to familiarize myself with LA. I have the same confusion as eagleowl, looks like Shady Sands was moved to the Boneyard in the show based on the skyscrapers in the background.

[@northerner3340]

@@eagleowl833 The show changing Shady Sands to a settlement built from the ruins of LA, ruins the foundational history of the NCR for me. Having the NCR grow from a empty patch of desert using a GECK has so much more creative life to it compared to another settlement forming in the ashes of the old world.

[@michaelsworld8537]

@@eagleowl833 If my opinion counts for anything as an LA resident, The cathedral is not as not very close to Santa Monica. I've been wondering why NOONE in the show mentions the name Boneyard! So I looked at a couple maps and used some wikis to see if what I remembered was true; I'd place the Cathedral In South LA , which is closer to Long Beach than Santa Monica. If the cathedral is in Southgate (thats being generous, looking at locations from Fallout 1 pip) then it is 20+ miles to The third street promenade, which is SEEN in walking distance once Lucy leaves the vault. Boneyard refers to Los Angeles as a whole, but in the first game, the locations are closer to dtla proper, and even some of westho. Adytum is stated to be in Southern Boneyard, close enough to know about the Cathedral. BUT!! The library that the followers use is in West Boneyard,, so towards modern-day hollywood. As for Filly? I instantly had an idea as soon as I saw it, LA national forest: only part of 'LA' that looks like that, and could have vegetation like that. I thought it could've been thousand oaks, but the mostly barren/desert landscapes they see right after, makes more sense, as the direction behind LA forest is Lancaster, Bakersfield, Barstow etc.... Okay sorry for the whole monologue, West Coast Fallout has just always interested me, esp Fallout 1, and well ig now the show, because I live here!!!!!! Its surreal seeing this stuff adopted more recently in Fallout. Obvi its existed, but seeing Bethesda remember (possibly not remember correctly lol) is just very surreal. cheers

The hub being called that and being a center of commerce has real world inspiration as well, if you didnt know.

[@CarsSimplified]

Nicely done on this video! One thing, though; I was watching this on a TV and the old film effect you used extensively throughout this video was cranked up way too high. It was especially tricky with anything with small details, as they became completely indecipherable. It's not an effect I would ditch entirely, just dial back the jitter within the effect's settings (it may be called something else) so that the visuals are still worth looking at. It also creates some flashing on the blue border, but I haven't seen any video editing program with that effect have a setting to ignore the alpha channel so the layer beneath stays as intended. It could probably be done with a cookie cutter effect, but doing a custom cut for every single clip adds an unreasonable amount of editing time to a video, so no worries there. I hope you find continued success whether my advice is helpful or not!

[@nvRanger]

Thanks a bunch, really appreciate the feedback. Luckily, some others shared your opinion and made similar recommendations. I think after this very video I cut out that effect entirely while editing and swapped it for something far less aggressive. Thanks also for pointing out the difference while using a TV. Not something I view videos on but it’s worth noting for viewers.

Knowing that these are real world locations and where the roads lead to irl gives a hint where things would lead before the great war. We obviously know where the western roads lead, Fallout 1 and 2 are set there. But Obsidian took some liberties, like how the Nevada-California border is not right at Nipton, but at Primm.

[@nvRanger]

Right, so it teaches us a bit about how the alternate universe US was slightly different or vastly different based on the instance.

[@DomPeriod]

When I was younger, I was very impressed with the True Crime games giving off the illusion of a world outside the playable areas with freeway exits to cities outside the map. They were blocked off, but cool.

[@nvRanger]

exactly the thing that inspired the idea for this video

[@reaverfang377]

In my own mod while developing the custom Searchlight Campaign between NCR and Legion forces, I actually explored Bullhead City a little. Part of the NCR's Negligence has lead to the Legion crossing the river and causing a major battle to rage in that area with formally small towns now apparently major NCR forts. My Idea was that Aurelius of Phoenix hopes to secure the Searchlight area, once through all the NCR locations such as Firebase Henry Knox Bunker (Custom location overlooking a highway) and RS Charlie and Echo, they were gonna unite two invasion forces at the Airport and push out through Nipton and towards and through Novac and Helios one to cut off the NCR before the Battle of Hoover Dam But through your actions the plan goes wrong and Cottonwood Cove as well as Aurelius lost. Presumably, something also goes wrong with the other force too.I decided to make this little change because the Mojave Campaign is considered unimportant to the wider NCR and a Legion crossing the river and attacking the Frontier near the Mojave seems like a perfect kind of distraction as well as the Barons soaking up resources for their own interests from vanilla lore. It also made the Legions actions in the area make even more sense given Caesar is dedicating to not repeating the same mistakes as the first battle of Hoover Dam where the Legion focused only on one attack Vector.

I did my research of the areas Northeast along the Colorado and if you take the highways North of Nellis you will eventually be around the Valley of Fire State Park, or at least on the other side of the mountains, crossing them is Moapa Valley and if you continue with the highway instead of crossing the mountains you will end up in a junction I believe where Jackson stands, just a town. These locations are literally East of Caliente ,very close to each other. I wonder if the place is simply tribals and raiders since no info on it is ever handed to use. Judging by how Caliente is I'd say the highways must be full of highwaymen.

they kind of messed up the map of fallout 1, but they claim necropolis to be northeast east of the boneyard, and east of the hub, while also being based in the ruins of bakersfield. but thats northwest. this puts necroplis right about where barstow is, where you say the hub is...

[@stickfather6378]

New Reno is up the NW HWY95, albeit hundreds of miles and 7.5 hours @ 70mph

[@nvRanger]

Another one worth noting, Fallout sure likes calling things "New" New Vegas, New Reno, New Jerusalem, New Canaan, New California Republic. Its a very "New" wasteland

[@TheA10king]

If you go north west you will hit Beatty NV. My dad was stationed for the Nevada bombing range

As a ne ohio resident. Id love to see the erie stretch as mentioned in the pitt dlc. I can a imagine a atomic naval war between Detroit and Buffalo with Cleveland stuck in the middle with a little Canadian lore to the north.

I don’t recall that. Is it perhaps referring to Lake Erie?

Im sure if new vegas had a normal amount of time to develop, there owuld be some inclusion of these twin cities whether in DLC or base game.

[@nvRanger]

Would have been an awesome setting to have Bullhead and Laughlin. Lotta story potential

[@ranchdressin3862]

might be a silly question, but what software do you use for your map?

[@zacherytaylor]

Oh fuck. Is that a question about Fallout I've never asked? I better watch this.

[@mark_themaster9250]

I can't believe that even though you have lonesome road quotes in the video, you didn't talk about how I-95 north goes into Ashton and, more importantly, The Divide. I-95 goes through Ashton, them south to Ridgecrest, what is now Junktown, making it one of the most important caravan routes into Vegas before it was destroyed.

[@nvRanger]

Divide will likely get its own video in the future.

[@neves5083]

I think we all feel the same about wondering whats in the other side of the hills in fallout. What is that map you're using?

wait Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge is don't exist in new vegas or this bridge is destroyed ??

[@nvRanger]

I’m not sure where you’re referring to

[@paybacksuper3670]

@@nvRanger this one "The bridge is located within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area approximately 30 miles (48 km) southeast of Las Vegas, and carries Interstate 11 and U.S. Route 93 over the Colorado River" the bridge open in 2010 . . . so maybe because its newly build bridge obsidian not include it in the game or fallout universe.

[@nvRanger]

Yea I think your theory is probably right. Interesting. Maybe if they had more content on the other side of lake Meade it would have been used.
