Which does absolutely nothing and you simply fail the quest, I have to disagree
Fantastic and Santiago would make fast friends lol
The C-Finder will always be a classic weapon for one of my favorite glitches. So I began firing the weapon at a few cazadors. The weapon showed the final stage where the lines blinked but no laser appeared. So after fighting off the cazadors I head back to freeside and see the beams again but stuck between one side of freeside and near the kings hideout. After multiple saves (and a few fast travels) I had completely forgot that my gun was glitched them out of no where as I finish fast traveling the laser just goes off and kills an entire caesar’s legion attack force in front of me.
Wah-wah... 🎺
Mine went off outside of camp golf and gave me the biggest jump scare I’ve ever had
i used it and as you said it didnt work so i reload and it kills five kings members
Mine went off during President Kimballs speech. That helped my legion playthrough alot
They asked if I knew theoretical physics, I said I had a theoretical degree in physics.
Nick Grimes the most underrated dialog in this game 😂
Just like Freeman!
Nick Grimes sounds like me tbh
YES! LMFAO!!
Welcome abroad
Fun fact, Fantastic has a intelligence of SIX, Benny has three, Caesar has four, and Oliver, Kimball, and House has five. So yeah he is smarter, in game terms, then all the main faction leaders of the Mojave
Gerald He's only smart in the sense that he was able to fool the NCR into hiring him
Yeah but if he is only smart in that sense, what does it say about all the people who are DUMBER then him ;)
but really not saying he is actually smart, just pointing out that his SPECIALs has him smarter then the other's SPECIALs have them.
I don't think the specials on some of the important NPC's are really indicative of their capabilities. Their backstories often differ wildly. Fantastic should really have more charisma than brains. House is supposed to be a prodigy level genious but you could say his intelligence stat has degraded along with his body while being in that medical pod of his. The rest are kind of a grab bag for the most part. Granted a 3 intelligence for Benny is probably fitting. He's not nearly as smart as he believes himself and it really shows.
I get the impression that a lot of those Special figures are either randomly generated or otherwise randomly input. Because in the game they don't actually matter all that much outside of combat, nor are they accessible or knowable by the player
Clearly he didn't invest in his Science skill though...
Courier: *At Helios One* Welp time to turn on the Solar Panels. What's this..?

@@bearcatben4762 nah if you have a modified xbox
34:52 when Oxhorn says "The solar panels are now more efficiently capturing sunlight" One key piece of information people constantly overlook about this place that it's not a Solar panel farm its a concentrated solar thermal plant. The reason you are overcome by the blinding light and the computer lady says "Warning re-targeting sequence initiated for reflector banks." is that is how the plant generates power focusing the sun with mirror like reflectors on the towers reactive surface which if using a boiling reactor or even molten salt would produce heat and energy.
How dare they overlook such a simple and obvious fact
Ok so does that make oxhorn's statement false or merely non-specific?
That is true, however the misconception comes from the fact they are literally solar panels, to the point that the scrapped solar panels are able to be taken to the boomers and used to fix there solar panels
@@calebbarnhouse496yeah thats kind of inconsistent logic right there
@@NodaxWoW they share the same model, the fact that they technically aren't solar panels I'd just a fact that can be omitted for everything else to make gameplay better
Imagine if the NCR powers the gun and the boy uses it in Freeside without knowing that it now works.
Komrade Thicc Smoke that's what I was thinking LMAO... "reach for the sky Stacy" -fires pistol, wipes out freeside area- you lose karma yet gain karma for dead fiends LMAO :-P
that would be hilarious
I wonder if that would happen if the player powers it up and the boy still has the gun.
Big Bird unfortunately it's written in the code you need the gun first
Rip thanks
If you have low intelligence at the dialog choice at 21:00 you can say you're a maker of pizza.
Someone needs to do it seeing as the world has ended.
Hahaha!
when the follower dude asks you who you are if your stats are low enough you can say "I pet dog"
@@Cthulhuwarlord That's funny as fuck
As NCR, I'd send the power to Strip and McCaran, as House/Independent, I'd send the power to all regions, and as Legion, I'd use the power to wipe out the NCR so the Legion can move in. This is why I love RPGs, the little flavor choices like this.
As the enclave . Power ARCH2 .. Kill NCR . Legion to dumb to do crap
You're comment saved my life because I wasn't sure what powering each region would benefit which cause. thanks.
I wiped out the ncr and armed Archimedes satellite to use it myself lol
In what situation would you put power to Fremont and Westside?

>Vault full of Naked women
Vault 69?
I'm sure there is a vault whose experiment involved the residents being one man and 99 women in it. I do wonder how that turned out.
@@teal_m_101 That depends. Lucky man or unlucky man when a certain month begins
@@teal_m_101 999 women
Teal Marjira that is Vault 69, 999 women, 1 man. It failed due to the vaults inability to reproduce. The opposite is also true, Vault 68 has 999 men and 1 woman. One is far worse than the other
Its an Anime Thing... Nice
Helios One is a real thing. Goes by a different name though. On I-15 coming from Vegas into California. The wife and I left Vegas to head to Disney land. We stopped in Primm to get gas and continued on the I-15. I had my face buried in my phone looking at and comparing new Vegas maps and cities to the real ones we saw. I looked up in the distance and saw a bright white glow ahead. It was noon on a very clear sunny day yet there was still a bright glow on the horizon.
As we got closer I saw it. A huge circular field of mirrors shining beams of sun light to a tower located in the center. It was god damn amazing. Even on the bright sunny day, the light coming from the mirrors was distinctly in the form of bright white beams.
Nipton and Bonnie springs were cool too.
KevinBrzozowski did you saw the NCR too?
+Don Enrique no but every time I saw a California flag. I looked for the 2nd head on the bear.
+Don Enrique got stabbed I the leg by a barrel cactus in Red Rock too.
I think that's called Solar One I think it originally heated water to drive a steam turbine
KevinBrzozowski Did you visit camp searchlight and meet some feral ghouls?
*Has already played new Vegas and know the whole story
*watches Oxhorns Video anyway
:) some of it is new for me cause I hate the NCR so new dialogue.
xVault21NV same
yeah he explores all sides of the stories, nice bit of new info considering i usually slaughter the legion like cattle and don't touch a single negative against the ncr.
Same
I haven’t played any fallout game
That gun looks like the Futurama spaceship
lol that's what I thought. First thing I said was it's planet express as a gun
Essentially what the courier becomes in the House ending since the crew in Futurama are essentially package couriers
GOOD NEWS EVREYONE!

(from that episode where they run a commercial flight company)
Can we take a moment to appreciate the fact that we can activate ARCHIMEDES while Max still has Elucid's C-Finder. It's a miracle half of Freeside was not eliminated.
It would be amazing if you set up the weapon while you don't own it, if you take more then 24 hours to find it you will find the weapon in a spot hit by the laser with the kid dead

I always picked "Fantastic's" pocket and put a grenade in, just after I shared grid power to everyone, then walked away as Fantastic turned into a fantastic mess sprayed across the walls.

I know, it's great huh? :)
Good ol' Shady Sands Shuffle.

Sounds like a like I'm gonna head over to Helios One
I always loved the "Can I Tell Him?" terminal entry. Reminded me of things like the "Loose Lips Sink Ships!" and such.
You know, it wasn't until watching this I noticed Ignatio pronounces it "N-Klaive" while everyone else in the games pronounces it "On-Klaive".
@@hitomisalazar4073 That's because Ignacio is a bitch
I tried to use the emergency power level, assuming it would output power everywhere at a reduced rate, e.g. enough to power emergency lights and that kinda stuff, but no, it doesn’t, and I accidentally overloaded and blew up Helios.

You know, it’s kinda ironic that he has Veronica with him, considering she’s Brotherhood
Remember (?)...
She is trying to find/get ways for Brotherhood to adapt/improve/continue (or die off)...
That's not irony.
even she's with the brotherhood, she has different opinion about old world technology and wants it to useful for everyone who do good
I loved Fantastic in New Vegas, he was such a dork. Fallout 4 seems a little dry of characters like him, that's what made New Vegas so good, even in little side quests the dialogue and characters are so interesting.

I then sell it to proctor teagan. For all da mons in his shop.
What I don't understand is why didn't the Brotherhood of Steel and NCR simply agree for the Brotherhood to keep Helios One in exchange for providing the NCR along with the rest of the Mojave with whatever power Helios One is capable of? The NCR and strip would get energy for their citizens, the Brotherhood could keep a dangerous weapon out of the wrong hands, and they both could have avoided the blood shed the battle entailed.
Thing is, the Brotherhood know that Helios One is part of a weapon of mass destruction and it's pretty much their _raison d'etre_ to keep such things in safe hands... i.e. their hands. However, the BoS also know that the NCR know that WMDs are the BoS's main gig so when the NCR come sniffing around Helios One, which was occupied by the BoS, their basic doctrine meant they _had_ to try and stop them taking control of the facility, even though they _knew_ a vital part, the rangefinder, was missing. It's always the same for any group that have such extreme views as the Brotherhood do, that those views can and do lead them into situations such that, while others might see a need to compromise, they cannot without betraying their fundamental ideals. Veronica Santangelo understands that the Brotherhood needs to adapt for their very survival, but the prevalent attitude among them is that it's better to sink with all hands while they _do their sworn duty_ than to take to the lifeboats. And it should be said that the NCR should really have learned to respect other peoples boundries by now. Basically, all it needed was there to be one gung-ho idiot on either side and bloodshed becomes as inevitable, ironically, as sunrise.
Actually. It's even worse than that. They went to Helios 1 on the word of Elijah that it was a weapon without any real confirmation that it was. many of them didn't want to be there and they fought horribly over it at Elijah's command. When they were forced out by the NCR who need power to help drive their movement as well as wanting to know just why the BoS wanted it that's when Elijah left to go find another weapon. it was Elijah more than the Mohave BoS as a whole that was weapon obsessed. And in Dead Money we get to see why. He's not just driven to collect them but use them. Even as Extreme as the BoS can be Elijah was still an extremist in comparison and that made him highly dangerous.
The NCR are happy just getting power out of it and not even knowing that the weapon part of it exists. Granted if they are in control of it I'm sure somebody smart enough to figure it out would come along eventually.
Can you still use the gun after arming the beam
Because the NCR is not the altruistic group it pretends to be.
I forget who says it, but someone said, "the NCR will simply create a situation where they can justify their occupation and control of the area's resources." This is a reference to the US selling Sadam the materials to make biological and chemical weapons, then invading him for those same components, as well as fabricating false flag attacks in order to justify military action.
Also we see the NCR makes treaties and then breaks them when it finds this convenient. The Khan's agreed to forgive the NCR for their past genocide and fight alongside them. The NCR responded by taking over the Khan's territory and demanding the Khan's leave. This is a reference to how the US treats American Indians.
The NCR slaughters men, women, children, alike, once they've decided a group is dangerous. They did this to the Khans, the Kings, the Brotherhood, and probably many more. This is a reference to many things, including Waco, Agent Orange, Project Phoenix, Firebombing Tokyo, Napalming Dresden, and nuking Hiroshima. In all instances the US military targeted civilians in order to achieve their purposes.
They also negotiate for peace, then attack when the other side drops their guard. We get to see this with the Khans who surrendered to the NCR, and the NCR decided that was the best time to kill them. This is probably a reference to many situations in many wars where surrendered enemies were found slaughtered and no investigation was done to find out who was responsible, as the military doesn't want to implicate their own troops.
Someone else says in game, "the NCR legalizes in the Senate whatever act of aggression they want to do." This is self explanatory.
I remember all of these because they were all based off of common criticisms of US foreign policy. US based gamers don't see a problem with the NCR, even though they're clearly the dangerous, greedy, corrupt, imperialistic war mongers, because US gamers think those things are okay.
The game was practically designed to challenged the gamer to start thinking about their own culture more critically, but unfortunately there's no achievement for that, so few bother.
Joe Doe Mr. House says that while talking about his plans to repel the NCR Army from the Mojave.
You have to find an idiot in sunglasses you say? That easy. I found myself, but why didn't I complete the quest?
JamaicanMeCrazy ! I instantly thought of Deacon from the Railroad.........yup
That Red Echo LOL
Because you're not Fantastic. But don't worry. Just get all of the NCR to suckle your teats, get addicted to a shit-ton of chems and *BOOM!* You're *Fantastic*
We need the Euclid c
It will be *bright* to use this weapon
Not sure who's the bigger idiot. Fantastic or the NCR for hiring him.
Hey oxhorn, you should do a video on the NCR ranger who's armor you find in the happy trails expansion. its a beautiful story you'd love
Soap Mason the survivalist is one of my favorite stories in the series
Soap Mason he wasn't apart of the Ncr. He was alive pre-war.
Soap Mason should definitely do the survivalist
Soap Mason he wasn't NCR
He was a pre war US army guy (even though the armor he wore has USMC somewhere on it)
I adore how the quest dialogue literally calls the guy "the idiot in sunglasses" xD
37:03 - i love how you pointed out the connection between Euclid and the function of this weapon.
Another way to get in is to earn enough NCR rep that she allows you in.
Arcade Gannon requests that the Courier sends the power to Freeside and Westside and if you do it earns a point for his companion quest
If you pass a 7 intelligence check you talk him into sending the power everywhere and get the point
Fantastic was a hilarious character. I was kinda hoping he would show up again in Fallout 4, but I guess he's an Obsidian character.
Why would he show up on the opposite side of the continent when the only way for him to get there would have been to walk, and through Legion territory at that?
@@critica77y77 When in Rome
Man you really put in perspective. As you talked about how giving the power to everyone is the best choice I was like "Well that's easy to say when you can just mod it into your inventory on PC" Yet you went on about how its only a one use every 24 hours and how "yeah its fun but not too practical". It really helped me decide on this part lol.
ethical i could do any of the three,
Fremont and Westside, NCR DOES have the Dam so giving power to those two poor settlements would be the most efficient use of it for improving the Mojave on the whole.
McCarran and Las Vegas Strip, NCR are the ones protecting, maintaining, and funding the plant as such they do have ownership of the power, everything else is leeching off of them
Full region, the humanitarian option, everyone gets a little bit of the power and all suffers the frequent brownouts as a result. the morally good option but not really a "good" option.
Gerald agreed. Westside is the best choice in my opinion.
I think that powering Arch. II could also be ethical. In fact, if you intend to use it against the Legion, then choosing the weapon is arguably it's the most ethical choice, since keeping the Legion out of the Mojave does the most good for the most people.
If the Legion can be stopped without using the weapon (which they most certainly can) then it is more a foolish choice than an ethical one.
But come on, who doesn't love space lasers!?
Jacob Harvell We legion will have our *RETRIBUTION*!
The Legion intends to use every resource they can muster to take the Dam. A task at which they only narrowly failed in the past. If you intend to defeat the Legion, I'd say that it'd be foolish NOT to muster every possible resource that you can.
I always set the power to go everywhere. The Followers are the faction in the game I can really support and get behind. They're goal is to help as many people as they can. The C-Finder is kind of like the Broadsider. It's fun to get once and play around with or cheat in and just go wild. But it's not very practical.
I really wish they could be the faction you go with so you could really help expand them
@@StellarMoo97 ikr I know what you mean they ate great caring people and don't ask anything in return , they give people free healthcare, food and water , and they only get stuff through donations, or sell expensive upgrade surgery on the player , I bought all the body surgery upgrades so the money can help them, and i donated meds to them till I couldn't anymore and helped the 2 druggies to get them to help the followers, and made a deal with atomic wrangler , and I also helped the kings cuz they are very noble people too, if I could I'll run with kings as a main faction , do quest to build and armed them and take the securitrons as my army and take back Mohave from legion and NCR , and free our land for our own independence, and give the people free water and electricity, ban gambling ,drugs, and prostitution to stop the corruption, and take over the 3 main casinos and turn the hotels into living apartments for the people, and clean out areas of enemy animals and raiders ect, and turn the local motels and good vaults into housing ect, and capture or require and reprogram robots to help clean , refurbished the area and them to farm the area land for food and herbs for meds , and capture wild or enemy brahmin and bighorns for meat and milk ect, and get sunset saparilla factory to produce, nuka cola, saparilla, and alcohol beverages ect for the people, and sell some good amount of power and electricity to the ncr for millions of caps a year ect for wealth and have the followers of the apocalypse be funded more money and supplies to help maintain good healthcare and education to the people and should help stop chaos a little more
I love how the terminal on the mainframe refers to Freeside as Fremont & Westside, it’s a nice little thing to show it’s pre-war. I wish that was done more in this game as its a bit of a puzzle to remember Fremont is probably Freeside, and it always breaks my immersion a bit when I find something pre-war that keeps caps in a safe when they were useless, or refers to something by its post-war name. I always pick that option since the full region said it was likely to cause brownouts, I didn’t want to cause the power to be mostly useless by having it cutting off all the time, and Freeside is the second best option.
As someone with a STEM degree and most of my friends being REAL engineers, I absolutely loved this guy and his quest. I about lost it at the "Theoretical Degree in Physics" line. I could walk on and take this dude's job right now if I wanted.
There is one part that really bothers me though, Helios One is a concentrated solar generator, reflectors boiling water or similar. Yet you can still use parts from it to repair the solar field for the boomers ¯\_( ͠° ͟ʖ °͠ )_/¯
(Engineer at Poseidon Energy)
You know what, I *COULD* make a practical looking range-finder, but why not make it look like a space laser?
(Guy designing weapons for FoNV)
"That's my story guys"
(Also, for the record, the spy is the telephone operator, not the friend of the friend of the friend of the friend of your wife, If I'm correct. P.S. The general is very short so that's why I made the terminal one foot off the ground, Not like I was being dumb or anything)
It also says "Burnouts likely" when sending power to everyoe
And finally, I'd love to see a five year old kid (Preferably baby heavy from TF2) using a satellite targeting system or being hailed as a hero
But most Importantly, This proves the U.S.S.R was an enemy of the U.S. actively trying to steal/claim the last barrels of petrol

At INT 1-2, A special dialogue in this location for you will be available.
The following are:

" I have a theoretical degree in physics" .....I always loved that line
One thing I always find amusing is that the C-finder gets the 'sneak attack' bonus.

Totally Not The F.B.I yeah I was making baby food while typing that I shall remove the typo 😂
Ahhhh i remember this quest, can't remember why i laughed about the word ''shoulder''.
If your Courier has very low Int, you answer Ignacio with "Me shoulder!" or "Me make pizza!" instead of 'soldier' and 'peace'.
The terminal was one of the first documents I remember reading and it really shows the effort put into the tiny details
It's nice to hear a cool, calm narration of the game instead of blindly incoherently discovering it yourself.
What happens if you power Archimedes II, but don't take the C-Finder from that kid?
Does he use it?
No, you get no benefit until you take the C-Finder from Max.
Veronica will comment that it's a good job the safety was on if you power Archimedes before getting the C-finder from Max.
Oxhorn I would really love it to have been coded in that if you decide not to get the gun before you power up the laser for it, then upon arriving at the area where the kid is, everything is on fire/exploded and any person there before was a pile of ash. Then you could loot the gun off a pile titled “smaller ash pile.” The Fallout games don’t have child-killing anymore but they never shy away for _implying_ that some children died
aMoonFrend Well, if you kill BoS in F4 you HAVE to end up killing a few children, given that Maxson brought Squires on Prydwen, so even bethesda in not shy in implying
OH MY GOD.
Imagine you are walking through freeside one day, just to see a massive death ray level half the neighborhood.
Are you a maker of war or peace?
Me rocking a low int build: pizza.
Euclid's c-finder can guide the energy given by the Helios station as microwave radiation released from Archimedes 2. They mention coverting it into a "usable form" (assumable a space lazer) Are there any places that could utilize such an energy output in the Mojave? Because it made me think this was a mobile energy delivery system. I rembered doing this quest for the space lazer as a kid cuz that was cool but never really understood completely what was going on. But was there a deeper reason they put this into the game? Can it be used to power something undiscovered? Or discovered but never fully understood or tested upon with the Archimedes 2. What if Archimedes and Euclids c-finder is more than just a weapon?
May be possible to build receiving stations that would capture the energy of the laser and convert it to a useable form. If storing the energy was possible maybe multiple remote outposts that can't be connected to the grid could be supplied on a schedule?

ive never seen such a detailed , interresting lore explaination , not only this video but ever video you make is so filled with awesome moments , u know what to say just to make the subject even more enjoyable to watch due to your awesome commentary , please never stop making these awesome video's!
I really hope you continue to do this new vegas lore series. NV has so many interesting people/locations/stories. Idk, I may be a little bias because this was the first fallout game I ever owned, but I think it's the most interesting.
did you really use your solar gun to make steak at 37:26?!
Mmmmm steak
Yes, he did. And anyone who has used that gun has done that at least once during their rampage before they reloaded and diverted power.
Oxhorn i know how to get the gun archamidies gun 2 or more times pickpocket the kid once then wait 48 hours and do it again! hope you like it!
+Rudolph the green nosed Radstag WHAT!? Does each C-Finder get one shot?!
This quest is one of the examples that for me solidify why NV was so much better than F3. The myriad of options and slight variations compared to most F3 quest that basically have a 'black/white' or 'good/evil' divide. Love the video!
SecondSince I'm new to fallout and actually love it so to you which is better NV or Fallout 3 ?
James Legrand Both are good in their rights. New Vegas feels more fleshed out, has great mods, good DLC and runs better than Fallout 3. Fallout 3 is good in it's own rights, the story isn't the best, but some if the characters are good, the DLC is also pretty good, some of the mechanics in the game were improved upon in NV, and it is a little difficult to get running at times (even without mods). Honestly play both, they're both good, but NV is just a teeny bit better (vanilla) and only gets better with mods. Sorry for dragging on with my comment, I rewrote it twice.
Dashing hey thanks for sharing your opinion.
Well Dashing touched on some things and that's pretty accurate. For me what makes NV better is that it is a lot more in line with what Fallout 1 and 2 were like. For lack of a better word, NV 'feels' more like the natural progression from 1 and 2. Also, as noted in my original comment, in my opinion NV is more free or neutral in what it let's you decide. More than "choose to side with good guys or bad guys" it let's you try to live in morally grey areas more than F3 did. At least in my memory. Then there's also mechanics. F3 suffered a bit from being the first Fallout game in a 1st/3rd person perspective. They had to figure things out, where as NV had that base already and could build on it. Lastly in my opinion NV had a better implementation of skills. I could go on and on ( i love the franchise!) but that'll do i think. :) Last point. I'm in no way saying that F3 is/was a bad game. It was just flawed in some ways that for me detract from it being an all-time classic like NV and F2 is for me.
Actually, just coming back to it for a moment. I think the parallel between F1 and F2 to F3 and NV is absolutely there for me. F1 layed a great foundation, but it being something new it was rough and 'flawed diamond' if you will. Then F2 came along and tightened it up, added some needed things, removed useless clutter, etc. The same can be said about F3 and NV. Again, just my thoughts and observations. All are worth playing though. Even Fallout Tactics. ;)

Sentry bots in NV sounds a lot creepier than in FO4
Everything in NV is creepier. Game was creepy af
I don't make war or peace.......i make pizza
Conductor Whiskers Me pet aminals.
Detective Doughnut hhhe
I pet the dogs :)
i would say that would bring peace..... but you said you don't make peace so my statement is irrelevant :(
Can I have some?
oh funny the scientist is wearing the sunglasses all the time because of the terminal entry?
Und9rCr0ft This is underrated because we don't know if this is true or not
I always thought I had discovered and done pretty much everything in FNV, then I watched one Oxhorn video and realised just how much I completely missed...
"A woman's idle tongue is the devil's plaything."
hahaha
Does anything happen if you activate Archimedes II while the little kid still has it?
No
Would be hilarious to go back and find he's Death Starred the town
The safety was still on, Veronica says that if you have her while buying the gun.
Valen Warden s
@@oxhorn what about if you give the toy back to him after you turn off the safety?
so, just looked it up for the real nerns amoung us; the guns name is a reference to Euclidean geometry and 'c=distance'. basically, e.g. is the idea of using a central point around a sphere,(a satellite (Archimedes II) orbiting earth.) basically central terrestrial point shoots a beam to a refracting poing in space, that is then beamed to the laser designated point. it's supposed to be able to hit half the globe. even fixed, the range finder itself is still in test phase, hence the line of sight limitations. 2 more satellites at legrange points, and you could rain sunfire on the entire globe, from anywhere. also a popular sci-fi way to transfer power. collect the power at a designated point, shoot it to a satalite that distributes to power relays on the ground.
I want kinetic rods. I want to drop telephone poles from orbit, that hits like a precision nuke
Funny thing is, the uber nerds kinda do...
Comes with being eccentric and weird.
Rods from God. All the power of a tactical nuke without the radioactive fallout.
Just finished watching the previous video on this playlist, I love the way Oxhorn addresses these topics. Once I get through this whole playlist for Fallout New Vegas, I'll see if there's anything he missed. Just because I love the way he does his videos and would like to see one on everything Fallout. Great job Oxhorn, love your work!
What if you retuned the gun to the little boy and he shot the girl
Hey Mr. Oxhorn, i just want to say, thanks for the daily videos you've uploaded.
i've been so depressed lately but since i discover your lore, mods, scoth and smoke rings stream (although i always overslept and missed the stream).
My first video i've watched is the liberty prime lore, and its always been my favorite.
Thank you oxhorn, i hope i can meet you in person one day, my sir.
Au Revoir!!
That gun reminds me of the gun from halo the one that charges and shoots a beam down, my memory is kinda fuzzy haven't played halo in years.
Isaac Zavala yea it was from reach but I forgot the name
My favorite line from the troopers at this place is "we should be out on the front lines! not out here in Bumble-fuck!" I nearly died laughing when I heard that.
the only thing missing from the propaganda message from robco was "hide yo wife, hide yo kids!"
To be fair though, it _is_ Better dead than Red!
When you do the quest 2 days before this video is released and you pick Oxhorn's favourite option XD
Great game, remember doing this mission. Hey since you decided to borrow this gun from that kid i am wondering if there is an option to return the gun to the kid? Wonder what he would do with it thinking it is a toy.
Hey oxhorn you should make a video on the Mojave chapter of the brother hood of steel
Hes planning to
OMG when he explained the Euclid C-Finder, it made the gun 1 million times cooler. Unique names usually always usher a gun as something to hang onto, but this is just amazing
If you are part of the Brotherhood of Steel and tell Ignacio, he says how surprised he is at his relief and tells you everything too.
Hey ox, you should definitely do a video about the Brotherhood of steel Mojave chapter and veronica's quest.
Lord Ahab out of 3/new Vegas/4 the mojave chapter is my favorite. It actually feels like a family and even though I don't love their goals everyone has personality and is unique. They even have a few teenagers being teenagers. I don't recall finding those anywhere else in the game.
veronica is OP early game, just say attack and you pretty much made a melee-nuke
I'm playing this again on PC and just did the Helios One quest last night!
Just don't bring Arcade along if you send the power to Archimedes. He won't be thrilled.
If you choose to direct power to someplace, Thomas Hildern will react to it. He'll refer you as a crusader if you direct power to Freeside and Westside, and is OK if you direct power to the Strip & McCarran, or to the whole area. He'll be disappointed if ARCHIMEDES II received the power directories.
Gotta say I was a little late getting on the Fallout bandwagon, only bought NV last year and just couldn't stop playing it. I was enjoying taking my sweet ass time exploring the game and it was blowing my mind how huge and detailed it is, how complex the characters are and how their stories intertwine with each other. I never completed the story so there's a lot I have yet to discover but I could watch these videos for days. It has to be hands down one of the best games of all time. The music is poignant, the story is immersive, the settings and textures are all so damn good. Bethesda games always appeal to me because of the element of choice, your actions impact the outcome of the game and you develop relationships with the NPCs that can affect your success. Bethesda don't spoon-feed you one task after another, either. Can't stand it when games set you a task and then pretty much tutorial you with it the entire time, there was a lot of that in games like GTA V- go here, do this, do that. The total lack of pressure to pursue the storyline and to explore it at your own pace is what I like most. I've got so many open quests just from exploring, talking to characters and absorbing the story of the wasteland.
You should do some mini documentary type videos looking at the history of each of the different chems in fallout lore 👍👍
39:53 - says Freemont instead of free side lol. Love you oxhorn!
Hey Ox. Awesome videos. Around 8:00 when you are commenting on the goofiness of the notices from Poseidon Energy too their employees keep quiet it reminded me of many of the old WW2 OPSEC videos I've seen from the military. If you want a great example there is a cartoon from Private Snafu called Spies which illustrates the way the military was thinking at the time.
I hoped they would've put fantastic on a cross.
Oxhorn... I used to watch you every now and then checking in on videos time to time! well the past month your content has kept me content and I am enjoying it immensely! please do keep up this level of quality of content! also have a lovely day.
Man I SOOO wish that there was a option were I could have my fellow brothers take over the plant and the brotherhood of steel would reclaim HELIOS ONE !!!!!!
Great video, you missed the option with Ignacio where you say you're with the Brotherhood of Steel and he says something along the lines of "For once, I think our goals may align"
Dammit! I just did this quest last night. (I transferred it to the satellite and turned on the defenses.)
I remember I couldn't stop laughing when I read that terminal. "Your wife might cheat on you," had me on the floor lol
I remember when i got this gun on X360. Messed with it for a bit, hilarity ensued. But then i put it away for a week or so and it disappeared. I was gutted.
0:53 what if Stacy is, in fact, turning into an “alien” 👽
do a video on All children in the whole wasteland.
D.C journal of internal medicine in the fuckin Mojave
ISSAC Arellano Llamas
ISSAC Arellano If it was the best medical journal in the nation before the bombs dropped, I could see it being distributed nation wide.
I live in SD yet we still have a subscription to New York times....
hey whats the music you use in the background because it gives me chills, especially the violin
That "machine shop" was probably an auxiliary power production area. Those large semicircle machines are turbines, meaning they probably had a secondary nuclear reactor. Nuclear power is little more than steam power using radioactive materials as a heat source rather than burning coal.
I always direct the power from Helios One to EVERYBODY. You also forgot to mention the dialogue options and Intelligence check you get if you have Arcade Gannon in your party. I only activated Archimedes I once with Arcade in my party to see the look on his face; I reloaded from an earlier autosave and just sent the power to the whole region and played the rest of the way from there. Only in my last, finished character (i.e., having done the main quest) did I activate Archimedes II and used Euclid's C-Finder ONCE just to see what it did. Having a 24-hour cooldown period before you can use it again doesn't make it very practical, and you can't use it indoors, so why bother with it?
Because orbital laser?
I was pretty disappointed with it's performance though. Can't even take out half a death claw =/ (at least at my energy weapons level and difficulty setting at the time)
This is another fun mission to do in New Vegas
The only playthrough of New Vegas where I powered up Archimedes was my Legion character, which was only to kill the NCR troops at Helios One so the Legion could take over the plant. My other playthroughs I sent the power to the Regional Grid option which stops anyone from gaining the weapon.
