Everybody hates and kills the 'Lottery" winner at Nipton because he's so annoying, as if we wouldn't be just as delirious with relief as him if we were in his position

Also the runner-up who "just" got his legs broken with sledgehammers is remarkably lucid and talkative considering.

I always let the lottery winner run away and followed him to watch him get killed by radscorpions on his apparently urgent journey to get to Crescent Canyon

Having your bones break fuckin' hurts at first and the more breaks the worse it is, but after the initial shock, assuming you don't pass out or immediately break a fever, endorphins can do a lot for your mood... until you start moving again, anyway.

yeah past the initial pain a broken bone is mostly just a dull throb as it swells up, so long as you don’t move it

But it's fine, I guess...

You just keep being you!

In one of the Let's Play for New Vegas someone chimed in that they won a competition to have their name in the game - Oliver Swanwick, the lottery winner, is a goon. This may make you less or more likely to kill the Powder Ganger named after them.

I think they were a long-standing member of the official Obsidian forum. I thought he actually died IRL which would have made it all very morbid, but it turns out he’s still alive, which is good imo

When I bought my way into PoE2 I requested that the gear I wore (which I also bought) be something that could be taken off my dead body. Alas, Obs was not in a backercidal mood after PoE1. But they put together a neat little RP sequence for me, which I really appreciated

I've broken both my legs at once before and having also broken my nose let me tell you the two are not comparable.

I'm pretty sure Boxcars would have had his femurs broken too, which I imagine would be unimaginably painful.

I usually leave mr.lottery alone, but now that I know it was a goon I'll make sure to always put a bullet in his skull.

Oliver's VA just gives it his all, it's great.

I tried to see what would happen if I used console commands to teleport to the Fort at the start of the game, and if I could get two copies of the platinum chip. Turns out it unspawns Benny from the Tops and messes up Caesar's dialogue tree a bit, but you can't get two chips.

i can’t remember if I already posted this but

man, I was very optimistic about FO4:NV actually getting released based on their trailers and content shown so far, but then I visited their subreddit and saw their insane 4000 paragraph spiel responding to some sort of I guess frontier-adjacent community drama and jfc

i read most of it and it’s not even what they say, just that any team that both writes a screed like this and lacks the common sense not to post it is never finishing a project

why does no mod team ever have the sense to appoint some sort of PR/community manager

Well I can't appreciate it because it would require me to crawl back to facebook's dead gelatinous arms - who in their right mind settles on that as the platform of choice? I mean, ok.. I guess it ain't the product of a sound mind. But it is fantastic.

Good news: a week ago the dude said he'd start putting them up on Instagram too when he had the time.

Bad news: that was a week ago and there's still none there.

Apparently Oliver had a second encounter planned, but the dialogue isn't recorded, so I guess he really likes going straight to the rad scorpions. :shrug:

A lot of New Vegas cut content seems to be 'early work was done on an idea, but then they realized the engine couldn't do it', sadly. Or stuff that wasn't finished, or is broken, or removed for consoles. There's so much great stuff on the cutting room floor....

Definitely at least add back in everything that was cut after release because consoles couldn't handle it.

Primm has nobody in it now.

But I love all the cut content mods. They're wonderful. Gojira loving rules.
