Selene was a naive, intelligent, compassionate girl who only wanted things to go back to how they were. She lost everything - her family, her friends, the only life she knew, even her humanity. She's gotten nothing back. Now she's a cynic. All she's got is her alias and her reputation. "Un-deadeye." A ghoul sniper. Sometimes she can't help but wonder how her dad would feel about who she is now. But really, she doesn't care about that anymore. The wasteland wore her down so much, but really, she hasn't lost that compassion. Kindness is all she has left.

Starlet was disillusioned from the start. He had nothing going for him but his skill. No agency, no friends, not even a name - that was his mother's. He made a promise to himself, that eventually, somehow, things would get better. Starlet didn't lose much, but he had nothing to lose. No real home life, his suffering mother who was wrangling him and his twin, his abusive father, growing up in the Brotherhood of Steel - none of that is anything good. So he finally leaves, promising to himself he can break free. And what happens? Ten years later, forced into the same spot he was in. Nothing to lose and in debt to the Brotherhood. So he kept fighting, because as empty as he knew the promise was, Starlet always keeps his promises.

Robin was never fond of the Brotherhood. He couldn't care less about it. Robin wanted out. So when he reached adulthood, he did. And he never looked back - not even to his mom and brother. He could not be traced back to them.

Celeste was a genius full of promise, already outpacing some full time scribes at just fifteen. But she lost so much to one man, too much for anyone. Celeste wanted to be able to grow up, free from the burden of the children she never asked for, that ruined her late teens. But she never blamed them. No, those poor kids were suffering just as much. When they formed the Mojave Chapter, Celeste made the hardest choice of her life - lose her kids or have them still be victim to their father. She asked them to promise her one simple thing. They both followed through. Celeste never cried in front of anyone.

Catherine wanted to leave so badly. She couldn't get out fast enough. She left everything behind to form a new life and a new family. She made great progress. But it only bought her 4 years. She was killed by her own pride and joy.

If it were up to her, none of these people would exist. Rebecca wanted to fulfill her duty as a knight and live alone. She lost all of that to a pathetic man who in any other moment would have died at her hand. A moment of weakness cost Rebecca her dream.

I want to say Fallout New Vegas. Christine, Veronica’s girlfriend, is very important in the DLC. Arcade Gannon literally can be used to get the Enclave Remnants to join the battle of Hoover Dam.

People analyse the shit out of if Caesar is a reasonable choice to make and how a Mr House Autocracy would benefit the wasteland.

Obsidian was not working on that small a budget relative to indie games, but they had a sharp time turnaround and we’re stuck using a shitty engine they inherited to get shit done.

Some people find it inscrutable but there is definitely symbolism in a lot of what’s going on with it. Caesars Legion and their inevitable downfall once they run out of territories to conquer just like the Roman Empire. NCR having ineffectual leaders after the beloved founder dies. A rich man being so consumed with believing he is the saviour of the wasteland that he encourages anyone who might possibly dare oppose him to be eliminated. And he has “sexy” robots he built to represent the starlets he hung out with when he was young enough. The complex choices made around water and how you can kill a bunch of trapped survivors immediately or let a number of farmers suffer for not enough food for a prolonged death for a larger population.

I won’t say it’s that divisive on if people like it. Many people who both love and hate fallout 3 have ended up loving New Vegas but mainly there’s divisiveness about which is the “best” ending from certain perspectives.

I think There’s some religious motifs but I can’t bring any to mind so feel free to discount this point if you like.

There is so much fucking discourse. Mainly on what the moral choice is in some of the quests that explicitly don’t give karma either way because that’s the whole point. Also a lot on the ending and which side would benefit the wasteland the most.

I wouldn’t call the ending incomprehensible. It’s nuanced and it depends on which choices you make as to what you see.

I don’t think anyone calls it a deconstruction of the genre, but they do say it rewrites the formula that Bethesda started developing for a fallout game and brought it more in line with Black Isle’s vision (obviously, considering many of the BI studio workers ended up joining Obsidian who made FNV).

It can be considered dark in places. Edgy in some, depressing in others. There’s some places where no matter how hard you try, there are people who will suffer. But you can also add the Wild Wasteland perk which just makes the game more fun and in some ways lighter. I’ll let you be the judge of this one.

Obsidian is in no way ashamed of this game. Bethesda is ashamed that they didn’t make something this good when they had way more time and resources to make their ones.

It can be very uncomfortable. Facing Cazadors and Deathclaws and moral choices and whether it’s right to kill an old man in a can because otherwise he’ll try to rule the wasteland with an iron fist. But many people love being out in those uncomfortable situations. It’s one of the things they love most about it.

In Conclusion:

New Vegas is the NGE of Fallout Games and you cannot change my mind.

i rarely use tumblr and this is probably the only post i will ever make on here, but i cooked this demonic atrocity and wanted to release it for all of this wicked world to see. i am sorry. yes this was inspired by The komaeda checklist image.

this unholy idea came to my mind after seeing this reply on twitter btw. credits to this person i guess. (context: this was a reply to a post of some picture of a library where a shelf with homestuck on it had a piece of paper with "the evangelion of webcomics" attached to it)

Arcade + The Sisters He Never Wanted in: ‘Omg yes, this is grand please write more’ || A Misfire Ficlet

“O-M-G, yes. V, this is grand—please write more.”

“Write more?” Though his lips moved, Arcade’s teeth stayed firmly together as he gritted out the words. “She’s not writing more! She shouldn’t have even written this! And for you to read it out loud, Roxanna– Out loud and to me…”

Here, have some FO:NV crack—featuring a friend fic writer, her adoring audience, and the cringing man at the heart of it all…

:••:•:·················••:۞:••·················•:•۞•:•·················:•:••:

I wanted to post something new so I went through my many, many folders and found this.

Originally gonna be posted to the Fallout Kmeme a long ass time ago, but I never got around to finishing it. It’s a misfire fic, meaning someone posted an entirely new thread instead of a comment like they meant to, which is just fodder for assholes like me lol. It’s all in good fun tho, ofc, and was actively encouraged amongst the community so that’s a thing. Anyways! I have no idea if that Kmeme even still exists and honestly I’m kinda afraid to look as I have a lot of work posted over there that wasn’t backed up properly and the thought of it being gone forever makes me want to puke so I choose to live in blissful ignorance instead...

:••:•:·················••:۞:••·················•:•۞•:•·················:•:••:

Omg yes, this is grand please write more || WC: 600~

“O-M-G, yes,” Roxanna drew out the ‘S’ as she let head fall back, fanning herself with the yellowing notebook paper. Reclined as she was on the pristine velvet fainting couch she almost looked like a starlet of old—you know, if said starlet was given to wearing badly stained coveralls and travel-worn boots. “V, this is grand—please write more.”

“Write more?” Though his lips moved, Arcade’s teeth stayed firmly together as he gritted out the words. “She’s not writing more! She shouldn’t have even written this! And for you to read it out loud, Roxanna– Out loud and to me…”

Cass cocked a brow at the man. “Hey, you’re the one that wanted to join our little book club. We said it was a ‘girls only’ deal, but you said that was ‘exclusionist’ or what-the-fuck-ever fancy ass word, so we let you in; don’t hate on our choice of literature just because it’s not Nichey.”

“That’s Nietzsche, and this is not literature! It’s a violation of the highest order,” he replied, left eye twitching just a bit. To the so-called-author, “No more, Veronica. You hear me? No. More. If you want to write about your friends’… sexual encounters… I kindly ask that you leave both Boone and I out of it.”

“OoOoo—so you’re speaking for the both of you then?” Cass half asked, half purred.

The blond fixed her with a look that said her implications were neither appreciated nor wanted. “I believe that I can safely do so in this case. I highly doubt that Boone would appreciate her writing about us engaging in such– such–”

“Sexy?” she supplied over the doctor’s sputtering.

“Awesome?” the Courier offered.

“Long overdue, maybe?” V added in.

“–sordid, behavior!” he finally spat out. “This tasteless filth–”

“Hey now, my writing isn’t ‘tasteless filth’! I’ll have you know that I take great care to make sure all of the love scenes are very tasteful and classy. Do you know how hard that is to do when you’re talking about two guys bumpin’ uglies?”

His replying groan made it more than clear that the scribe’s description left much to be desired—very much unlike her work which showed a level of nuance and detail that left its readers wanting in an entirely different way.

“Now Cass’ stuff?” she continued on, “That’s–”

Accusatory eyes turned back toward the redhead then. “Cassidy. You too?”

“She calls your dick the ‘Gannon Cannon’,” Roxy unhelpfully supplied.

The woman in question smirked even as she shrugged. “It may not be the fastest gun in the west, but it’s certainly the second biggest.” The owner of the biggest went unnamed as nobody wanted to hear about her encounter with Long Dick Johnson for the fiftieth time—well, not at this very moment anyway.

“But is he shooting blanks?” Veronica mused. “That’s what I really want to know.”

The Courier’s tone was appropriately shit-eating as she quipped, “I would say that we should ask Boone, but that’s now how human reproduction works…”

As the women continued to trade comments of increasing absurdity (and vulgarity) the doctor slumped more fully into his seat. Vacant-eyed and totally done he bypassed his glass, choosing instead to take a long pull straight from the bottle; the hooch that Cass brewed was always good for a blackout if nothing else.

“I hate you all,” he muttered once the burning in his throat finally receded.

“Nah, you don’t, not really,” Roxy told him as she leaned over in her seat to pat at his cheek. “We’re like the sisters you never had and didn’t really want but once your parents brought us back from the hospital you were like ‘Well I guess!’”

And with that he could only agree.
