I like following some character who runs off after you’re done talking with them and seeing where they go. Like the lottery winner ends up getting killed by rad scorpions on his journey to Crescent Canyon Also I followed the NCR guys who you talk down from attacking Jacobstown and they ended up running all the way north to that group of enemies who have the YCS 186 and got annihilated

Is there any way to not aggro all the super mutants and nightkin on black mountain? If I sneak up and go into the radio station Tabitha instantly aggros and I have no opportunity to talk to her. Is violence the only option?

Do you have a stealth boy? If you can reach Rhonda and repair her Tabitha and all the other super mutants stop being hostile. I usually reach the terminal where you can remotely talk to Tabitha, then when she tells the mutants to go there and kill me i trigger a stealth boy and head over to fix Rhonda. I usually get through Black Mountain only killing 1-2 hostiles.

Yeah, the trick is you can't open the door to Tabitha or free Raul without having fixed Rhonda or it's an unavoidable fight. You have to repair Rhonda first, then Tabitha will come find you for another resolution.

I once successfully got the peaceful resolution for Black Mountain only for all the super mutants to turn hostile again because there was like a single SM guard halfway down the mountain who was still permanently hostile, so the moment that one detected me, all the rest got angry too, Tabitha and Rhonda included. I think you might have to kill the first few super mutants no matter what.

I guess worth posting this here. https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2022-02-24-fallout-new-vegas-2-reportedly-in-very-early-discussions-at-microsoft-and-obsidian Who knows what it could be like. I guess if this was the movie industry, things in early discussions would be more meticulously documented so you wouldn't have to just follow rumor trains for basic information.

I would be very stoked about Obsidian getting to do another west coast game. Not going to hold my breath but also it doesn't seem that surprising that people would be discussing it. Planning to make it is a whole other thing but I would expect people at Microsoft are going through all the games/IPs they own now and having discussions about what to do with it.

BigHandsVince posted:Is there any way to not aggro all the super mutants and nightkin on black mountain? Cool thing I found out the other day. If you are at the pit where the two dead BoS Paladins are and climb around the edges you can actually go up Black Mountain directly behind Tabitha's radio building, after getting through a hard-locked gate. Just a little bit of sneaking and you can fix Tabitha's robot. I never even talked to Neil on this run-through.

New Vegas 2 sort of implies a canon ending to the original I'm not entirely sure I like.

I'd be surprised if it was just New Vegas again; there might be a canon ending, but I'd expect "New Vegas 2" is more of a shorthand for "another Obsidian Fallout game."

Basic Chunnel posted:As powerful as the Courier ends up being, the core themes of NV include that once a nation starts moving in a direction the centrifugal force is immense / an object in motion stays in motion / regional control in the face of opposition is not at all simple. Put enough years between 1 and 2 and a full-on independent ending can shake out pretty much any way the devs want. When I wrote up a nascent NV2-Van Buren mashup TTRPG setting I just made NV an impenetrable robo-enforced city-state, moved the campaign action east and focused on the slow, bloody dissolution of the Legion post-Caesar/Lanius and the NCR strangling itself as it tried to push farther east without control of New Vegas While it's probably inevitable that any prospective sequel to the west coast series would have to have to settle on which ending slides to keep one can't help but get attached to ones preferred throughways. I guess I'll get over it. Really I'm hoping to hear about the repercussions of my literally brainless courier trying to manage the secret gaggle of abomination nerds they bully into submission while dealing with whatever the much more successful abomination nerd they work for is trying to do this week.

I mean, I assume when people say New Vegas 2 they just mean another west coast Obsidian-made Fallout game. I doubt it would literally be New Vegas 2 - Continued adventures of the Courier anyway, I wouldn't read to much into it, I'm sure all sorts of things are in early discussion all the time, I'd be surprised if this is the first time it's come up. but I don't think Josh Sawyer seems super into the idea of directing another large scale project like that at least in the near future

I'd like to see the East Coast Brotherhood challenge the NCR since the east coast has been going hard on the fascist empire building and the moderate brotherhood members are dead.

Yeah if they made another game I would not expect it to actually be in New Vegas but just part four of the west coast Fallout story.

There is also the fact that the Fallout IP, 76 excepted, is going to be dormant for... a while with Bethesda busy on Starfield and TES VI, so it makes sense to look if another developer (provided Bethesda's okay) wants to take a stab at it, and Obsidian makes sense given New Vegas and its history. That said, Obsidian also seems rather busy, and this really just feels like a watercooler discussion that is being reported, rather than a definitive plan.

It's not like New Vegas itself doesn't make decisions on what endings are canon from previous games. The good Followers ending can't be obtained in Fallout 1, but in Vegas, it's canon. Maybe keep it vague like an NPC saying "Oh yeah, House runs a nice strip, he'll drain your caps, but he's a buffer between NCR and the Legion, at the very least". Nothing too in detail.

I just finished my first replay of the game in some time. I'm sort of amazed to still be unlocking achievements more than ten years after I got my first one (reaching level 10, I think?) With mods and a new PC this was a much more stable install than I'm accustomed to, but there's no stopping the jank - my favorite may be the game occasionally just forgetting about the Jsawyer level cap, such that I completed Hoover Dam at level 37. But I also observed a pair of Tunnelers in Lonesome Road turning themselves both pacifistic and totally invisible, and about a dozen different NPCs earnestly directing their observations on recent events and local politics to my dog.

House, Yes Man and Legion all hinge on the will of a single violent psychopath to keep the dream alive so I don't think it's completely outlandish to say that the NCR eventually ends up with the Mojave and just be vague on the details. Or if you wanna be really bleak, say that too many people pushed too hard and they all collapsed.

I mean the legion are clearly in the best position to win the dam if the courier didn't get involved. Whether or not the faction could survive Caesars death is unknown, but they had the better strategy going into the battle for sure.

They could take it, but doubtful that they could hold it, and I'm not sure they'd even want to. The Legion is nomadic by design.

I think you could potentially do something interesting with former Legion territory after a Legion collapse - Arizona, Denver, etc. You wouldn't need to commit to a canon winner of the second battle for Hoover Dam, because one theme the game stresses is how unstable the Legion will be regardless once Caesar is gone. Meanwhile the power vacuum would allow for the development of new factions and characters, which is, in my opinion, part of what made New Vegas work - not just using the Enclave, the Brotherhood of Steel, and the super mutants again.

Yeah, if there's one thing I'd love to see in a new Fallout game it's less regurgitation. With the East Coast games you can just sort of tell that they included an element because it was "Fallout" and then wrote somewhat strenuous justifications afterwards (Supermutants, BoS, Enclave). In some ways I do appreciate the Institute being in Fallout 4 because at the very least they're a new major element, I just wish the faction could actually argue its case.
