28:46 Not sure if this has been mentioned anywhere else in the comments, but NV does have a quick-select "wheel". It's just the part with binding weapons and items that's a bit... hidden. Hover over the item you'd like to quick-select, hold the number you want it bound to and click the item in the inventory. It really helps keep the flow of the action during fights

I played Skyrim and fall out 4, years ago as a young kid/man. Over the last few months I felt very bored. Work, gym, wife, kids, repeat. I missed gaming, I almost forgot I used to play and enjoy video games since life kind of took me as a prisoner. I bought the series x last week and searched the Microsoft store. My wife made fun of me saying “I didn’t know you liked video games omg”. I told her I wanted something to just relax to…I was gonna just download fallout 4 again and replay it but I saw New Vegas for $7. I was skeptical at first since it seemed so old but man.. this game has captured me. It gave me that feeling Skyrim did all those years ago. I think about it at work, I wanna play when I’m out shopping, I look forward to Friday so I can stay up until 3 am playing. New Vegas made me love gaming again and it’s made me remember apart of my that I forgot.

One small detail I like about the intro video (before the narration) is that it presents all the factions. We start at the Lucky 38 (Mr. House's home and central location in the game). The we see some NCR troopers in the Strip and then an NCR ranger next to McCarran. Then we see Legion soldiers. And finally we see Benny and the Khans (representing the independent route). It's an awesome intro that illustrates the central theme in the game. It's not the wasteland like in FO3, but the factions and people that inhabit it that matter.

49:09 Woah! You just glossed over the big enchilada!!! The big epic battle at the end is the best part! Literally the war reward experience! You head off and witness the choices and influences you picked play out in the final epic battle and you still shape the ending your own way. the allies you pick literally help you out or are absent because of your influence. In the ending you get everything thrown at you, especially if you choose to sabotage both in numerous ways. It's a real mission taking place with several paths and outcomes even at the end of the story. You get bombed, stabbed, chopped, gunned down, blasted, torched, zapped, you name it, it all happens just so you could get your big final satisfaction of perseverance!! Nothing feels better than getting your robots to finally slaughter your way through or go the lone route and trick everyone or just blast everything completely ruining everything for everyone. Even your allies/companions will have something to say, even if they are dead!! lol they'll still give their opinion on what you did and how it affected their world. It's just the best to shape the end your way. You even get the big bad boss fight BUT you can also choose a cinematic deeper satisfying ending where you pose some serious logical questions that make your opponent think and reconsider everything in an instant. Very reminiscent of a tv drama where the protagonist can finally let go of revenge and in my opinion sometimes much more fulfilling. And if that wasn't enough for you then you can also do the same against their opposition as well ultimately deciding the fate of both sides right up until the very end. It's up to you to choose whether to back stab them, fight it out to, or in the same fashion negotiate with reasoning your final decision on the outcome!! In reality the game's ending is the culmination of the entire experience from the beginning and all the way up till your last playthrough experience. It's like the encore of a show where everyone comes back just for the final taste and it's all just for you to enjoy and decide what to do with it. :) The ending battle is the best because it was completely focused and catered to you exclusively. It seems like it would be a bad idea to design it this way because challenge is the best reward and realistically endings aren't always good outcomes but this's the beauty in having the world still designed this way anyway because at the end of the day it's a fantasy first and you're not playing into the fantasy to come out with nothing. Even if you choose to end it that way you still had an impact and nothing is more satisfying than to have been integral to the story you wove and participated in. You could have been a footnote or you could have been the historical legend or new mysterious myth. Very few fantasies out there can give you this satisfaction. Usually they keep you locked to their story whether you like it or not but in this fantasy you can say no and see what happens next. This is an experience like no other and even the newest iterations and past achievements can't seem to topple or overshadow it. New Vegas is a freak phenomenon that had no business being as good as it is. It's not even a sequel and yet it had a better story and deeper impact. It wasn't anything really new yet it felt like a revolution in gaming. It's outdated and glitchy as hell and made in a rush giving you every reason to hate yet here we are years later still gushing over how awesome this experience is and just the fact that it's still not dead yet AND STILL being picked up and experienced all over again both by past owners and new owners alike. STILL!!! Play the game and play it for the final epic battle because you WON'T be disappointment!! ;)

[@ShadyCrypt]

When I was playing the NV for the first time, I've stumbled upon a quest about rescuing NCR soldiers from a mine. I went in, killed some legion boys, opened the cages and... the quest ended. This freaked me out, because it seemed too simple. So I reloaded and sneaked in to explore the mine before saving the soldiers. Found nothing. Then I put on some legion armor and tried speaking to the legion troops in the mine. Still nothing! This quest was driving me crazy, so I resorted to googling all the possible outcomes. And, surprise-surprise, I instantly found out that the alternative solutions were cut from the final release. And then it hit me. The rest of the game was so AWESOME, that a simple quest "Do exactly the thing you were asked to do and get rewarded" didn't fit in. To this day I've never experienced anything like that. New Vegas is still the best RPG ever made.

I think my biggest gripe with newer BGS and Obsidian games, is the lack of depth in the character creation, attributes, stats, and the leveling system. They just keep simplifying that aspect, to where shit doesn't even feel like an RPG anymore. Like how are we getting less mechanics in that regard with every single entry. Like NV and Morrowind were not perfect games by any means, but the level of freedom to really create a distinct character, with no real single best choice, is just unparalleled in today's environment.

I will never forget wiping out all of the powder gangers in the prison, and walking into nipton to find that guy with his legs crippled in the shop, and he goes “I just had my legs crippled, and now the grim fucking reaper of the powder gangers is standing in front of me” or something like that. I thought it was so cool that they had different dialogue for your standing with the factions

[@Ketaruz]

Boxcars, the 2nd winner of the Nipton "lottery" calls you a Grim Reaper if you are vilified with the Powder Gangers. That's a pretty badass moniker.

[@cooperdalluge8827]

That that made it one of the best RPGs for that reason right there

[@hunterrose5252]

So true. And if/when you're playing a female character Boxcars will also add, "What do you have against us b***h!?"

[@Corthmic]

That line still kills me everytime I hear it. "First I get my legs smashed, then in walks the Power Gangers grim fuckin' reaper!"

[@tomasoneill9908]

That was exactly the line......you never forgot.

[@TheRedneckRoman16]

The point I knew the game's writing matched me was when that Kahn said, "You're supposed to be dead!" I verbally replied "I got better." And then saw the dialogue option. It was at this point I knew the writing in this game was for me.

[@SavaanahTrick]

Most memorable (and funny for me at least) was when I forgot or maybe didn't realize what Boone meant that he would "kill on site" any Legion he sees. So I go to Nipton, with Boone, about to talk to Vulpes Inculta when suddenly I start gaining Infamy with the Legion and the Legion start shooting at me. I was then that I realized "oh....Boone wasn't kidding, noted"😅

I remember, I walked into Caesar's camp on my first playthrough and started blasting, and kept thinking, "there's no way I can just kill this guy, he's the main villain of the game" and then Boone blew his head off right in front of me. That's when I realized this game was truly something special.

[@josephschultz3301]

I was always a big fan of Boone unintentionally jump-scaring me by blowing the brains out of enemies that I didn't even know were there xD I'd just be walking somewhere and suddenly the screen jump-zooms to some slow-mo footage of a legionarie's head exploding from 12,000 feet in the opposite direction. I'd turn around in time to see Boone running back to me, having snuck off without my noticing.

ActMan I just started watching your videos and your fallout new Vegas is the best intro I’ve seen. I believe you make great videos keep it up!

[@NewVegasPsycho]

I'm a teenager, and grew up on the 360 because we always waited years after the release of consoles to buy the next. Lego Batman 2, Terraria on the 360, Halo Reach, Plants VS Zombies, and Arkham City took up more than half my free time. Eventually, the power button went red, and the console hummed itself to sleep. That was that, and we bought the Xbox One a few months after. Out of nostalgia, I asked for another Xbox 360 last year, and it was the best decision I ever made. Pulled the hard drive out of the old, dusty, broken Xbox, and slid it into the new one, with hundreds of games, Metro, New Vegas, Fallout 3, the Arkham Games, Skyrim, Fable, Halo, etc. I gave Fallout 3 a try, and enjoyed it, but as someone used to Fallout 4, I lost interest because I never enjoyed the game and never took my time with it. Out of sheer boredom, I booted up New Vegas. The music made me wet, the NCR armor gave me chills, and the Wild West was something I yearned for after beating Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2. I love RPG's with a passion, and when I was able to create my character with depth just short of Skyrim, I was hooked. Went for a diplomat build, crawled my way across the desert on one leg, (The game was a fresh and difficult.) and reached New Vegas. I played for countless hours, got lost in Vault 22, explored New Vegas, softlocked the game, saved the president, and fought alongside the NCR in the battle for Hoover Dam just to betray them and take over New Vegas. I played it again and again and again, and I'm starting my fourth playthrough. This is the best game I've ever played. Fuck Fortnite, fuck Fallout 76, and FUCK MWIII. This is the only game that I will enjoy the most.

[@Kalgert]

@@D00000T Well, I suppose it depends on how you look at it. I remember Old World Blues being pretty great for how it amps the "Science" aspect of the game up to a hundred, with some pretty good weaponry and, a personal favorite, plenty of nods to the Venture Brothers cartoon. Dead Money was another great spin on the "Heist" story type. With interesting characters, setting and how it was very survival focused. The base game certainly remains an outstanding piece of architecture on how to make an RPG, but the expansions certainly added quite a bit.

[@rhymenoceros3303]

@@Micecheese I cannot recommend the DLCs for New Vegas more, they are amazing for the simple fact that they are so cohesively connected. Themes, characters, and storylines are super interconnected in each DLC whilst still being strong enough on their own to allow the player to play each in whatever order they desire and still get something unique out of each. Dead Moneys horror atmosphere, Honest Hearts exploration, Old World Blues technological zaniness, and The Divides brutal journey, each DLC is amazing. Trust me when I say these DLCs are more then worth doing. Quite honestly I personally consider them, as a package, the best DLC ever created.
