How come I never found out about that undercover Ranger dude?

Seriously, this game has so much content.

Grandma Nightkin is best girl. She just has so much personality. This is a great game, definitely the best of the 3D offerings as far as I'm concerned

Contreras is a pain in the rear end to deal with because there's no quick way to get to him. Also for me I could never find Isaac when I needed to so turned Contreras in for the gun. There's other vendors out there that don't need three loading screens.

e: and This Machine is my favourite gun in the game, though worthless for Sun.

I love Sun playing surrogate granddaughter to Lilly, she really is the best granddaughter for Lilly. She can even take a hit if Lilly gets angry and accidentally the Sun Vulture!

History shows, again and again, how nature points out the folly of man.
Always curious as to how and why they had the time/inclination to put up a Yangtze War Memorial in the middle of the Nevada desert right before the nuclear war.

I don't even want to see what happens if you gain CHIM outside of a pre-coded system.

I've never seen the thorn

Hell, I didn't see half the things in New Vegas before I did a whole second playthrough from scratch, and this LP is still coming up with stuff.

I think from a video game perspective it's meant to be a first introduction to the "hey that looks interesting, let's go see what it is" format of exploration that the game is full of.

Nah, when compared to how many caps we usually get per job, Red Lucy is VERY generous. Sun's getting paid thousands of caps just for getting eggs, so Lucy can be as... eccentric as she wants.

The egg hunt would be an utter nightmare without those markers, since most of them take you into the dreaded Invisible Walls of Bethesda

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.
Blizzard-style Legendary creatures were always a goofy and unwelcome addition to fallout imo, especially when, as in that gif, they also import the “this one is HUGE” element.

It would seem that Death Valley got moved a bit north and a bit more literal.

Same here, though a Gauss rifle can also suffice. Melee's going to be fun to see.

I'm fairly sure the bit about someone who used to keep a female Deathclaw in a shed is a callback to Fallout 2, even.

Yeah, it's exactly like she says it goes down. In Modoc there's a shed, you open it and surprise, lady's granny here had a Deathclaw. You shoot it or probably die

One can safely assume that anything mentioned out west and/or more than a few years ago is a Fallout 1/2 reference, mostly 2.

Ezekiel talking about the 'itinerant heroes' messing up the Khans is the player characters from 1 and 2. I always wipe them out in New Vegas as well; it's tradition really.

These high-G injections have some serious side effects after pulling so many jumps.

I think the omelets Rose sells in Modoc are called Wasteland Omelets. I think the deathclaw part is supposed to be a secret ingredient?

Except for Pokemon, Valkyria Chronicles and 100% OJ.

God, this quest. I love the Khans, but I fuckin' hate their quest. It's the single buggiest quest I ever deal with in my runs, just getting Karl to trigger alone is a pain in the rear end. Glad to see Sun had an easier time with it than I do. Deathclaws not withstanding.

It is one of the least rewarding tracked quests in the game, both in lore and loot. Even the auto-failing quests are better as all but one are meaningful player choices and the last one is just glorious in it's own way.

I come from the past, slowly binging this LP (and will only read replies to this). Are you implying that there are "quests" that cannot actually be completed and will only ever fail, as a narrative tool? Cuz that's pretty neat.

There are a bunch of quests for the NCR and the Legion that will automatically populate and fail if you advance the plot too far with one faction or the other, i.e. if you side with the NCR past a certain point you automatically fail all the Legions quests that you haven't completed and vice versa. If memory serves, similar things happen if you kill certain NPC's before doing certain quests.
