I'd like to point out, that convincing Joshua Graham to spare Salt-Upon-Wounds is one of the HARDEST Speech checks in the entirety of New Vegas. He is so blinded by rage, mourning and hatred that he has completely abandoned the values that he has sworn by in his religion, and you being there is the only reason that he doesn't descend into becoming a warlord.
The story of Randall Clark is one of the best side stories in any media. Of course Honest Hearts is good, but that whole other story is just insanely good writing.
Joshua spitting Bible verses while the courier is high. This is the authentic honest hearts experience.
Main plot : Joshua and his wacky adventures Survivalist Side quest : why in hell im still alive !
10:45 There is a popular theory that “the school” mentioned by the kids was the X-8 research center at Big MT. Making “the Principal” Dr. Borous. Which would explain why they were so terrified of him, he unleashed Cyberdogs and Nightstalkers upon them while shouting angrily through the intercom.
2:45 what RT meant to say here was Deathjaws. They're like Deathclaws, but with bigger teeth.
One of the really interesting things I remember from my playthrough of Honest Hearts was the reveal that the Sorrows latched onto Daniel's preaching's so easily because they equated the religious Father Daniel talked about with their Father in The Caves, and there's a dialogue option where you can reveal this to Daniel. Randall Clark isn't just a incredible side story, separate from the main quest, the Sorrows took their name from him, and he's tied to the religious themes of the DLC.
If you had Wild Wasteland, White Bird's dialogue just goes "Take Drugs, Kill a bear!" When you do that quest😂
The Survivalist is one of my favorite characters in all of Fallout, if not my favorite. There’s just something satisfying about his story of beholding so much bad, so much wrong that humanity did to each other following the Great War, that him finally passing away after preparing the Sorrows for life(like the father he never got to be…) is amazing. I think he is one of the few characters in Fallout to truly die happy.
The fact he's been holding off the pardons until after Lonesome Road tells me all I need to know about what he's gonna do
"February 11th Youtube killed all the men." I knew Google would be the end of us
18:00 that reminds me of the crossroads I encountered in Skyrim. First time I passed through there was a dead bear & dead wolf, just sitting there. Second time, it was a dead bear, dead wolf, dead human and a dead spriggan. All the loot had respawned, too. Third time was a dead bear, dead wolf, dead human, dead spriggan, dead hagraven and a dead dragon. Again, all the loot on the bodies had respawned. Oddly enough, the dragon didn't give me a soul. Fourth time I passed through that crossroad, all the bodies suddenly came back to life and aggro'd on me, killing me near-instantly. Oh Bethesda game engines, never change.
I know he said 'final' for the next one because it was the last added and has thematics of being a Last Stand for the Courier, since there is technically one other one he hasn't done yet. But also the idea that he's just saying Screw You to Dead Money is very funny.
Ah yes, another episode of death himself.
Your Oppenheimer play through has inspired me to pick up New Vegas again. I vote that you do a second play through but play as Barbie with high speech and changing your clothes every time you kill someone.
The story of the survivor is definitely one of the best in the lore. They make you feel for and root for this random guy just through some notes and scraps of paper from 200 years ago.
26:20 Bro found that fact so intriguing that he said it twice lol
This run is just "What if Oppenheimer was a coward about his bombs."
Judging by the thumbnail, the RT in RTGame stands for "Rip and Tear."
