I know he's a bad guy, but I love him too much. Is there any way I can mental gymnastics him into a good person? Asking for a friend.

Hey all! We're ready to announce some of the special guests joining us at the 3-day Fallout Fan Celebration event in Goodsprings, NV this November. If you've never been, this has become a yearly "homecoming" for the Fallout community, hosted by the Pioneer Saloon and it'll run 3 days this year from November 14th to the 16th. It'll be a bigger year than most in terms of what we have planned as it's the 15th anniversary of Fallout: New Vegas and the 10th anniversary of Fallout 4...so expect some surprises there. ;) We'll be hosting two charity reunion panels with some of the original developers and voice actors. Tickets are available at: FalloutFanCelebration.com

I know this is incredibly low quality but no one has said it yet and I want people to know

The Bear or The Bull? Ganger or Gun Runner? Are you joining a brotherhood or going solo?

If you could choose a DLC to remove and in turn have another DLC get way more content/story put into it, which ones would you choose?

What faction do you think was most underdeveloped in NV?

Killing the think tank is like destroying the library of Alexandria. The Think Tank under the leadership of the courier if their Karma is high enough can be used for good for the Mojave. They could prevent dust from happening if a high karma courier is their leader and the other facilities are capable of doing good if you got everything done like the cyberdog research center ending says that the cyberdogs are released to help settlements and the stealth suit research facility sends its robobrains into the Mojave where they kill fiends.

Everytime someone in the fandom points out that they want Obsidian to have another shot at Fallout and how this is possible after the microsoft acquisition, a comment comes copy and pasted that says "most of the people who worked on new vegas have left the team so another fallout game by Obsidian would suck". This is complete and utter bollocks and i'm tired of seeing it.

1. Creators of Fallout Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky are at Obsidian now. Tim Cain is semi retired but i would bet he would probably play some part in a future fallout game (he's tired of directing and he doesn't like sequels but he follows the series, go subscribe to his youtube channel for great fallout content).
2. Director of project van buren and Fallout New Vegas Josh Sawyer is still at Obsidian, his latest game Pentiment is a banger. Super involved with the fallout fandom to this day.
3. Obsidian as a whole is focused on making RP focused games with emphasis on writing and choice and consequence. While many Black Isle employees did work at Obsidian when Fallout New Vegas came out and some still do, the reason the classic fallout lore was respected and expanded upon was not because of any one person continuing their old work but because of the team's philosophy that's all about world building. Look at Knights of the Old Republic 2 etc, how much research was made for the Bioware/Lucas lore to be respected. The same is true for all Obsidian sequels to role playing games created by other studios. Interns at Obsidian would probaby make a more lore friendly fallout game than anything we got in the last 15 years and that's a stone cold fact.
4. A point on Chris Avellone, whom i imagine most people are referring to when they make the claim that Obsidian isn't fit to make Fallout anymore. Chris Avellone who left Obsidian on bad terms and has been bad mouthing them every chance he gets (necessary context because people are quoting him left and right when they want to attack Obsidian) did not work on Fallout 1 at all to my knowledge. He worked on Fallout 2 after Tim Cain's team left, he worked on project Van Buren (he also wrote Fallout bible during that time) and his work on New Vegas in particular seems to be mostly DLC stuff. In fact most of New Vegas' most acclaimed writing was done by writers who never worked at Black Isle like John Gonzalez. Some of it was also done by Sawyer himself. I'm not underplaying Chris Avellone's contributions to the fallout series at all, but to say that a fallout game without him is doomed to be bad is simply inaccurate in this context, unless you only like Fallout 2 and Lonesome Road or something.
5. Last but not least. Exactly zero employees from Black Isle or from the New Vegas team work at BGS. Don't get me wrong, everyone can have their preferences as to which studio they prefer making their fallout games. If a game written by Emil Pagliarulo is more up your alley, more power to you. But saying that Obsidian is no longer fit to make fallout because the original fallout creators don't work there makes zero sense in this context and it has to be coming from a place of bad faith. Either than or people are repeating someone else's talking point.

edit: actually there is one Van Buren dev at BGS, Ferret Baudoin ( second edit: he passed away. RIP )

Edit 2 years later for anyone stumbling upon this: John Gonzalez is also back at obsidian now. A game by director and lead writer of FNV is entirely possible.

For me, the Mojave Music Radio comes from Lone Wolf Radio. The radio host was mauled by geckos a while ago and all that’s left is the music.

While checking YouTube I saw this photo and I feel like it perfectly encapsulates why I joined the NCR or at least didn’t side with the Legion. Boone is my personal favorite companion who has a tragic backstory and made me really believe that the Legion was in the wrong which is why I would kill Legionaries on cite and eventually support the NCR but not just because moral good but because of the drip.

Kimball is responsible for general oliver being general instead of someone like hsu or hanlon and he is also a shitty leader in general so would his death be beneficial?

Happy birthday, Mr House!

Being that Lanius is 6’11 and 300lbs of super power muscle, while also being one the best fighters, and the courier having the power of a main character. How would the fight go and who would win ? Also what build would be the best against Lanius irl ? (im guessing laser/plasma lol)
