Raul Tejada is voiced by Danny Trejo, in my opinion he did a good job. I have a lot of respect for any actor or actress who puts a effort into video game voice acting.
Just cause 2 - Bolo Santosi
Danny Trejo doesn't NOT put lots of work in anything he does. Does he?
Bitoy Skii As a Hispanic, it’s kinda hard for him to get other roles other than what he gets. He’s played the same role his whole life, so it’s just seamless. A tired Mexican ghoul, and he portrayed it pretty well
Danny Trejo is a badass I absolutely love him
SomEOtherGuy EVERYONE knows that
"im an open book boss...granted the books in spanish and some pages are torn out but ya...im an open book" one of the best lines in the game
"Patrolling the Mojave almost makes u wish for a nuclear winter"
'Finding it, though, that's not the hard part. It's letting go.'
@@enzzera Still haunts me to this day.
@@micahgeorge6778 could you give a little more context to where its from?
Kelloggs quote about happiness in fallout 4 fucked me up lol
.
"I would've died I think, if I wasn't so full of rage"
Local man literally too angry to die
That's no joke. Pure rage is the only thing that keeps my grandmother alive. It would be too convenient on others if she passed, so she keeps kicking as a fuuuuuck you to her sisters and brothers.
@@jaysonisgreat ...pffftt hahahah that's awesome
I mean this is actually a thing, rage usually makes people produce massive amounts of adrenaline which basically means "me stronk"
In local news, New Vegas now has it's own Darth Maul.
Lord Hexdrix and his wicked world of insanity anger is the best fuel when you have nothing to lose
Raul: "I'm just a broke down old man"
(Helps kill five super mutants)
By hinself dressed as a Vaquero while im hiding behind cover so i dont get hit by machine gun fire and i look out 2 already dead and finishing off the oher 3....damn
Yes lol
And he wasn't even at full power!!!!
@@DMTInfinity Raul (Base Form)
Mama Murphy killed a Deathclaw with a single bullet... Fired from pipe pistol! She's Baba Yaga!
In my opinion, Raul is the most underrated companion. He's great in a fight, has funny dialogue, and has a companion quest that nobody ever does. I love his company and his story, and wish Bethesda made more companions like this.
pmk 2034 I wish Bethesda would let obsidian make another fallout
I love Raul shoot first poke bodies later
Bethesda never made him
His companion quest bugs a lot think that's what stops lots of people from doing it
I agree. Unfortunately, in my most recent playthrough, his quest bugged the fuck out and I wasn't able to finish it. I had to relegate myself to watching a video about it instead to see the end result. Pissed me off something major.
when i got to Jacobs town i got a comment from Raul
if these super mutants kidnap us and force us to fix toasters it's on you.
xD
Which is a reference to him having to fix a toaster for tabitha (you can find his journals in the prison terminal at black mountain)
i wish i got that
I like the fact he referenced Interplay's old game Wasteland on this .
I wonder how he would feel about our little toaster in OWB..
@@jelob6783 no shit
You missed the fact that rauls conditions aren’t specifically age related. He’s been a gun slinging mechanic for 200 years. Hes bound to have some hand pains. And i would imagine being immortal doesn’t mean being invincible.
Cheers I'll drink to that bro
Kyle Hill did a video discussing the difference between being immortal and being invulnerable. Interesting watch, if you're a science/comic nerd like me.
But wouldn't he be in-
I think age still affects ghouls they just can’t die from it
@@leonardo9259
*Blood Splatters across Title Card*
I love the old-world ghouls. They really are undervalued and in the Wasteland- all of that knowledge and experience and wisdom.
Yeah. I have been interested if there was a Ghoul who was a Chinese Soldier during the Great War.
@@wh3nderson95 there is one in fallout 4
@@wh3nderson95 look up fallout 4 Chinese submarine
Multiple in old factory’s in fallout 3 and in fallout 4 there is loads in places like goodneibor + random incointers
Sorry for the spelling lol
"I haven't had a ghoul before. Do I get to keep the tip?"
That was amazing.
Just the tip, though
@@anonecki and only for a minute.
that line killed me cause i wasn't thinking of caps...
Boomer NPC's, never met a ghoul before, not sure if I wanted to...
He does with a pistol what Boone does with a rifle and his dialogue is actually entertaining. Best companion by far.
And New Vegas has some pretty great companions, too.
I like all of the companions besides Lily. I mean I can feel for her, and in some ways she's great, but she's far too silly. Boone I like, but I couldn't see myself, or my version of the courier being friends with him. He's too cold, and even when you get him to warm up he's too self destructive, and not sociable enough.
Cass, Veronica, and Raul are all amazing people I'd love to hang out with.
I didn't know that.
Nah, Boone is better
Holy shit yes, he murders the shit out of stuff so fast with that revolver.
That raised a lot of questions about what happened to México after the war and during the various fallout events
mexico is very much towns i can only name like 5 cities that i can think would be bombed, so people in the mountains and ranchs would survive, and maybe horses might still be alive
It wouldn’t really fit the style of Americana from fallout. It would be cool though
Ikr. I only wish they could make a game in Mexico, but the whole Spanish speaking thing would be difficult because the majority of their audience does speak English
Wasn’t this the plan for Fallout: Lone Star?
@@demerit5120 Well, you Have some big cities at North mexico. , TIjuana, Juarez, Monterrey, acapulco
At least if the game is in Texas one could do "Fallout: Lone star" and use at least Monterrey and Juarez
Three years ago on highway 35 North of Austin Texas I met Danny Trejo(Raul) I had a flat tire and he came to the rescue lol. I was very lucky
Today on shit that never happened.
Casey Shartley r/thathappened
Hey
sick, danny trejo seems like a nice guy.
saint pierre he is a badass too he was a boxing champion in Prison
I like the last ending with Raul. After he left the Courier, he went to do some great things. That's always a good thing.
YEP MAN
Nice for a game to show the concept of old age and how one deals with it, you'll probably never see something like that in a game ever.
You don't play many games, do you?
Not new console games, no.
Spectre Walkthroughs wasn't old snake more of a representation of the series itself?
^^ Not often yeah, but it is actually appearing in several games. If you look for it that is. One example would be Pyre in witch actually even more than one of the characters you meet makes you think about the topic of age and what it means.
(Just be careful with absolute words like "Never/ever" and so on, there are a lot of great games out there that one does not know about. ^^)
knowing that about mgs4 fuck you are old, but yeah Raul is unique like that. Hopefully as video games age as a medium developers will be less afraid of moving away from the market safe "coming of age" stories they assume the only profitable demographic must be. It'll be nice to see more perspectives in main characters.
Wow they portrayed Mexican families pretty accurately in this game lmao Raul having six siblings is such a hispanic thing I can totally relate to this.
Its also a white thing and a black thing.
@@Big_AlMC no Asian?
@@AstarionWifey not if you're Chinese 😂
haha yeah, guess using protection wasn´t the trend in the old days
Ok dude
Raul’s story is so touching. It made me so happy to see him in his vaquero (sp?) costume. And to hear that he protects the weak and becomes a living legend 😭 it felt so great to restore his confidence so he can help others 💕
just means cowboy in spanish lol
Danny Trejo is awesome as Raul.
you meant to say: ''every roles he in''
OLE, MACHETE
eXIDtv pshhj he was easily the best in Spy Kids
Actually ya that's a accurate, he is a awesome actor.
Had to look him up in IMDB to be sure it was him.... gotta love the voice casts on these games
Who noticed Raul constantly flipping the middle finger up
companion mod some kind i think
No its legit. He did it in my 360 version too. They added it cause Trejo loved flipping off the guys during recording sessions.
@@c.d.sarecool5070 XD
He also waves and picks his nose lol
Haven’t watched the video yet, but does he actually does that? I have never seen any NPC do that.
The quest should've included Doc Mitchell, too. Maybe as an option if one of the three dies.
Can you still do his quest if one if em dies?
michael weems no
And Hanlon. Seems a perfect choice, really, given how that old dog acts in Return to Sender.
Probably something to do with the VA, but, still a loss that he didn't get included in Old School Ghoul.
True since doc lost his wife but still has the spirit to live on and aid his town through medical services
But Doc gave up his journey out west after his wife died, and decided to settle down and get old in a sleepy town. Nothing wrong with that, but it's a bit of the opposite to Raul's quest goal to get him confident in his abilities and not just lay low and die quietly.
"nobody could stand against a dozen of armed men all on his own"? Meanwhile the courier takes down armies of raiders and legionnaires
Henrik Tamminen i suppose he was speaking about people back then. Back then you weren’t expected to be facing a group of armed gunman like a common occurrence. Meanwhile now there’s raider gangs and you either shoot or die.
@@crimsondynamo615 yeah but it was such a ridiculous thing for the courier to say
Henrik Tamminen oh i forgot it was the courier who said that. Courier should have been like, “oh that was a problem?”
Well, look at it this way. No one man could stand against a dozen armed men all alone. The Courier, however, is no mere man. After all, what kind of man takes two bullets to the head, doesn't die from it, and then makes one of their first major goals after rising from the grave to go and find the sumbitch who pulled the trigger, tracking them through Hell and high water, and have a face to face confrontation with them? A mere man would not be capable of such.
My characters: *ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?*
Damn. I always just left Raul in his little shack, I had no idea his story was almost as deep as the Survivalist.
Love the last ending for Raul where he stays a gunslinger. Almost like a cowboy version of the Silver Shroud, a mysterious figure dealing justice to the wicked.
When it comes to ghouls when they turn, even when being young, all of them suffer some necrosis of the epidermis and the cartilage, hence the no nose, and so have advanced arthritis of the joints. Hope this info is helpful
Yes thank you good sir
Ohh interesting, thank you very much kind sir.
Plus the guy uses a .44 magnum, which has been known (with older folks) to be pretty bad recoil wise, leading to some of these problems.
"Mmm. I never met a ghoul before. Do I get to keep the tip?"
A guy in the background: "WOO!"
lmao.
I always assumed Raul was in his late teens, early twenties when his family ranch was attacked.
Also, I know they don't mention it, but he did say they lived on a ranch. I wonder if they still had horses.
he was a young adult at the time of the war. I think Ox kind of slipped there. Raul said he was young, but he was old enough to be using pistols, so can't have been a small boy
Canonicaly yes horses do exist in the fallout world (read the comic for new vegas shows a trooper on a horse) so probably
Rokkfel plus I’m the fallout 4 nuka world DLC some raiders will say so what was a horse anyway some kind of big dog you could ride on
@@jamesmcnamara2373 A dad taught his 5 year old daughter how to shoot. Loads of people start shooting as kids
@@rokkfel4999 Bro the fallout world only diverges in the 50’s. Of course horses exist lmao.
"no one can stand against a dozen armed men alone" *me* "hold my beer"
"No one can stand against a dozen armed raiders." Raul
"Hold my Nuka-Cola, i'm gonna go get my power armor; chain gun; and Boomer cap." Courier Six.
Reminds me of a perk that I had on Fallout 3 (don't know about NV because I haven't played yet), every time you killed someone on VATS it recharged all your AP, so you could kill all the enemies and get out with your whole HP
Boris The Pig grim reapers sprint. A very useful perk.
I read that as Oxhorn said that line.
Lol . if this isn't the most accurate shit. Same thing I was thinking when he said that .
Tuscon is known as "TwoSun" in the fallout world, interesting.
And Raul is still salty about it being called Two-Sun. I would be too, though, as an Arizonan.
Must be a dialect. I've heard most people call it TwoSon.
@@SCP_Wandsman13_13 to sawn
Sacramento is called Sac-town, which is also interesting
The 'two suns' were the sun in the sky, and the nuclear devastation, the sun on the earth.
Honestly, Raul is one of the cooler companions in FNV. He's like Deadpool in a way. Locked forever in a state between an old man who wants to settle down and accept the life of being nothing more than that, or being an old man who wants a true end to his lust for vengeance as the Vaquero. He's also really sassy and funny.
Fun fact did you know raul is actually voiced by Danny Trejo. I now realised i had Danny Trejo role-playing as a pack brahmin lol.
Danny is awesome.
His voice fits really damn well and I love it
I actually knew this for very long time. He is good actor
*Machete
I thought that ghoul sounded familiar!
Finally, baby! Machete is my favourite Fallout companion! Thank you so much, Oxhorn!
DerpySnake Machete is the actor, Danny Trejo's nickname. Cause he's such a badass
Mr.Rockets Is it actually his nickname? I knew he was cast in that movie, didn’t know it was an actual name tho
Not I like Raul best then John Cassidy second
29:11 I love the moment you start talking about his outfit he starts picking his nose. Just makes him even more ridiculously awesome
Gotta go with the Vaquero ending. It makes him so happy, I can’t take that from him.
Here’s how I see it:
The Mechanic ending is all about him accepting his failures. The Vaquero ending is more about overcoming his failures.
Not to mention, he remains a cowboy, the thing that Rafaela loves. Somehow, that’s really symbolic to me.
That second one is just so much more uplifting.
Great way to look at it
That's how I felt too. I just never figured out how to put it into words. Thank you
@lord j I always pick mechanic because he makes peace with himself
I agree but I think the option I said when he asked about Ranger Andy made it automatically switch to the mechanic ending, even though all I said was his information even at his state was still invaluble, so that sorta made me sad.
I know! He gets to be the hero his sister thought he was. That's the most adorable shit, why wouldn't you pick that?
I got chills from Raul's story about his family.and tears

The replies are from people that know nothing about art
I always love Raul for many reasons - one, voiced by god damn Danny Trejo. He is a fun Ghoul to have around. Awesome mexicaa cowboy - [vaquero] He has so some info about the fallout universe that isn't related to the West Coast area, nor the DC - any of the games but outside. He has a tragic backstory. And did I forgot he was voiced by Danny Trejo?
Danny Trejo gives Raul so much personality. His dry but sassy delivery is so memorable
As a Hispanic 16 year old
This is the most Mexican story I heard
Just The first couple words were the most Mexican thing I've heard
Whenever I'm running Raul as my companion, I want to give him a hug anytime he speaks...
he like a old cowboy to old to pick up the big iron. That why I love listening to him
Raul was and still is my absolute favorite companion and is the only companion i kept with me throughout the game, and i chose to help him, be nice and he chose the gunslinger way, plus i so wanted that outift!!!
i have a lot of compassion for these old Ghouls, they are still people regardless of their physical appearances
I never been there courier, but Raul's last ending made me smile.
Oxhorn, I hope you read this. I absolutely fell in love with your videos when I found you a week ago. You allow me to enjoy this story of fallout so much more with your amazing voice and consistent lore plundering.
I'm glad to say that of all the CZcams channels I follow I gladly allow all adds to play because you deserve every damn cent.
also...you know that ncr scarecropper...there is a old man there that does the same thing
He is definitely one of the best commentators I have ever seen

he is fucking awsome i have been watching for a year
He is the best commentator In CZcams! Oxhorn has great content! I really love his Lore Videos!

Over The Horizon isn't your name a default song that's on every Samsung phone?
Isn't your name a direct spin off of that one game that uses blocks in everything? What was it again, oh, Minecraft.
Over The Horizon Jesus, that's the worst and most uncalled for comeback ever.
I would put actual effort in my comebacks, but to me it seems you still need to work on your speed runs, a lot more work.
Look at this roasts LMAO
Raul: "These old bones aren't much used to hand to hand fighting"
Me: Bet. *Gives Ballistic Fist*
Ulysses and Raul are by far my two favorite characters in FNV.
Raul would make for a great protagonist in a Fallout movie. Just imagine Danny Trejo playing him, going through the process of Ghoulification, trying to save Claudia and eventually settling in Vegas
I'd love to see a Fallout: Mexico City, made by obsidian with fallout 4s engine.
That sounds good!!
Sith'ari Azithoth
Dont take this as a personal attack, but that's a rather ignorant thing to say. Have you been to Mexico? It's really not as bad as the Media would have you believe.
There's a lot of chill beautiful places. It's like if I said the US wouldn't change because it's full of gang violence because there's a few dangerous places like Detroit.
>Hillbillies
Fallout 3 point lookout
>North
That would be pretty cool
Professor Doctor it’s American themed though. So heavily to the point where their creative leads have talked about wanting to go to China but how it’d have to be its own spinoff series or something. The 50’s culture is essential to the series
Prince Original Can you stop being so cancerous?
Professor Doctor Come on. Yes, there’s some good parts. But all the major cities are pretty shit, especially at night. Countryside and tourist traps are the only nice parts really
Danny Trejo, unable to wield a machete effectively? A great injustice has happened.
Good gods, it's so much fun to hear my cities name said 50 times by a character in one of my favorite games.
Hell yeah, Tucson!
Its Two-Sun damnit

@@Big_AlMC Yes
Oxhorn, I think it's great that you added the ending slideshow of the corresponding character!
The only reason that I let oldman Raul to continue fighting with his pistol is because the "ghost vequero" ending is just too cool to miss.
"Invigorated by his travels with the Courier, Raul once more took up his guns in memory of his lost Rafaela. Soon after, the Mojave was filled with tales of the ghost-vaquero who hunts down those who prey on the weak." How epic is that?

Raul Tejada What a legend
I personally like the companion stories in New Vegas more than Fallout 4's, the companions where cool and all, but there is something I can't quite put into words, I would say the only companions which I find interesting in Fallout 4 are Curie and Danse, I think all the others are actually pretty bland and uninteresting.
I personally love Curie the most, going from a Miss Nanny to a Synth body is interesting since she has to deal with things her original code did not anticipate for and I think it is a fun way to do the romance for Curie

"The locals can call it Two-Sun all they want, but it's TUCSON, dammit."
As a resident of IRL Tucson I approve this message
To be honest Ox, I always thought of the ghoulification process as a sort of crap-shoot depending on a lot of factors, such as your genetics (which determine if you go feral or stay sane), method of irradiation (for instance, Hancock got ghoulified from a radiation-based drug), and how big or small of a dose of radiation you get over a certain period of time. In Raul's case, he may have started developing symptoms of ghoulification when he was younger, but either he wasn't around much radiation for long or in low amounts over the course of several years, possibly decades.
RAUL! Oh, man, Raul is like the best humanoid companion in the whole game! I absolutely love this guy! So glad to finally see you cover him ;) Though personally I was more so looking forward to something like the Pitt or Old World Blues, but Raul is just as awesome!
And personally I think that Raul's skills as a mechanic are far more useful for the developing society of the Wasteland. The NCR, BoS and the rest can go and shoot up the bad guys (assuming they don't become the bad guys themselves), but by being a mechanic, Raul, just like Loyal, can do a lot of good for the community. He could also pass that knowledge on to others, thus expanding his usefulness further. And Full Maintenance is extremely helpful to the Courier.
Yan Alkovic You're right, but that Vaquero outfit is just too badass.
+ingasparrow Well, it's great that you like it. I think it's totally absurd, so I just gave Raul Reinforced Combat Armour. I thought giving him Randall Clark's ranger suit, but... It just doesn't fit him.
But, hey, to each his own.
Also from a game mechanics perspective Raul's default weapon (which has infinite ammo) is not affected by the Old Vaquero perk. So you have to either find a mod to fix that or give him a new weapon and give him ammo for.
Agreed, His Vaquero outfit is badass, but him being a gunslinger also serves another purpose, as a role model for the kids of the wasteland. In a way, he's become the Cowboy Gunslingers of Old, and that he shoots righteousness with his six shooter, instilling values to kids to fight for those who can't. He's making an example of himself. He's in a way, a hero.
+Lorekeeper Ronan I guess that's another way of looking at it. You know, why can't Raul just be both? He could patrol his neighbourhood in his Sombrero in the evening (when the sun is down) and loiter away during daytime. And, of course, he could always take up his gun whenever the need arises, so I still think that being a mechanic ought to be his day job.
nothing to see here move along I guess that's when the Courier finally retires.
"I've never had a ghoul before. Do I get to keep the tip?"

I really think it was... O_o
that was my assumption. o.O

Raul: "I'm just a broke down old man"

Raul`s lore is Epic. And so is the character.
The Courier: no one can fight several armed men alone
*Meanwhile in the Capital Wasteland Adams Air Force base*
The Lone Wanderer: Wtf is this? Shit's easy!
I mean, the courier himself could take on so much more.
It's funny.
Lerne that's kind of the problem with the disconnect between game play and dialogue, your characters talk about how dangerous it is to take on like 3 people by yourself but then again you can turn around and then murderize a hundred people by yourself with your bare hands
I just thought it was kinda funny :)
No lie, I think Raul really captures a lot of Danny Trejo as a person.
This guy has one of the saddest stories in the entire Wasteland :(
The first time I played FNV, I never found Raul - for some reason, I never went to Black Mountain. On RPGs like this, I tend to do a first playthrough sticking with just the main quest. Then the second time, I take my time and explore. So, I did that game with ED-E and Veronica as the only companions I ever acquired.
After finding Raul, he became my favorite though. I especially like what he says if you aren't playing hard core difficulty and he wakes up after being knocked out, where he screams about Petro-Chico Boy chasing him.
Raul's problems always struck me as being mostly psychosomatic. He filled with self-doubt because of his personal losses, and feels like the best he can do will always be "a day late and a dollar short". The Courier can show him that sometimes bad things happen, and the old adage that evil wins when go men do nothing is very true in the Mojave wasteland.
i too haven't found him as i played fallout new vegas.🤔i should definately start a new game.his repair-perk is awesome and very useful.
As someone who spent a good number of years living in Tucson, I love and appreciate Raul's snide comments about the city's name. I love hearing the pre-war folk talk about how idiotic the new people are for making up names of places. It'd be great if he could comment on obvious misunderstandings of places names like Novac being a no vacancy sign or of some of the cities in Southern California in the original Fallout. would have been a funny "modern" perspective for the fallout characters to interact with
ChiiRayne *TUCSON DAMMIT!*
Novac is apparently a real town in Nevada, which is pretty funny
Mothman just really wants you to try his grandmother's home made pepperoni rolls
I love Raul’s “boss” wording. Maybe that’s just me.
Raul the Ghoul- I loved that that rhymes. He was one of my favorites when I played the game the first time. I like that he is both a creator and a destroyer- he can fix things and he can shoot. His sardonic and sassy humor and down-to-earth attitude was a much-needed foil to the nihilism that infests the background of the Wasteland like so much insidious radiation. To me his vaquero-self is the most authentic expression of his identity in the New World- he can still fix things, and he can keep the weak and helpless alive- he fulfills and expands more of his potential, and that potential is vast to begin with considering hundreds of years of experience.
He may be full of self-doubt, but he is more than his doubts. Honestly, if I could go ghoul, I'd do it. To live for so long would allow me to overcome the limits of senescence and human lifespan. Raul lacks much of those physical limits, aside from the effects of ghoulification, but those doubts limit him as much if not more than physical decay. Freeing him of those is the beginning of something wonderful, a catalyst for his potential and power.
I feel like the mechanic aspect of his life is so much more valuable to the world than being a gunslinger. I'm disappointed that he doesn't seem to take as much satisfaction in it or judge it as a more worthy calling.
My god what an awesome game this was and is.

Moments like this make me love New Vegas even more. I like the repair ending more cause he makes peace with age and realizes that he did all he could with his family and Claudia. The Wasteland is dangerous to traverse alone
Raul was an Enclave mechanic at Navarro on Fallout 2
No way! That's so cool!
Same name, different person.
Danny Trejo FTW.
Would love to have a 'Raul outfit pack' in Creation Club
Knowing dear old Bethesda, they'll probably monetise the shit out of it.
Raul is a reference to Vic from Fallout 2 as both are enslaved, is repairman and calls you "Boss".
Raul Alfonso Tejada...that is a nice man and a nice guy...he is the god of sarcasm
What no machete perk ? lol
Machete didn't come out until after New Vegas finished production.
No shit Sherlock .
60% more damage with a bladed weapon
“What, did you get shot in the head or something?”
Oh, you have no idea
with the vaquero ending he kind of converts into something like the misterious stranger
but as a mysterious hero kind
I live in Tucson and people there even call it 'two sun' XD
Fallout NV feels so much better than 3 and 4 it has that rpg feel and great lore to it plus the voice actors are astounding I hope obsidian or the orginal writers write fallout 5
MelloChello To me this is the only Fallout game I enjoyed
MOST fallout fans consider NV to be decent . So Obsidian will not make Fallout 5
Black Isle Studios is back don't know if any of there OG's are back that worked on the first two fallout games and I don't know what they are developing or designing theses days.
MelloChello you do know nv came out before f4? F4 pulls alot from fnv. Dont ever compare nv to 4
Re-read his comment.
Raul is still my favorite fallout companion. I alwayd loved doing the cowboy build so rolling with Raul just felt right.
31:06. As opposed to Dean’s remark: “This crouching’s hell on my knees.”
"You really have the choice to be a monster in this game"
If only that were the case in Fallout 4...
"We have word of a settlement that needs our help. I'll just ignore you completely and mark it on your map anyway."
You can always go kill the settlers and lie to Preston about helping them.
zzebra doesn't really feel the same lol
It's not a choice I like to pick, but I do like that it's there. Makes the game feel like I have more agency and not just riding on rails.
Who sayes you cant? You can get all those setlements nicely build-up, then join Nuka World raiders, and take them over as Overboss! ULTIMATE BETRAYAL hehe!
@@Altoaster You should be able to delegate, or at least not have your 50 power armored settlers complain about radroaches.
"Mmm I haven't had a ghoul before. Do I get to keep the tip?"
*Vomits intensely at the image that put in my head*
Which head?
@@serotonin.scavenger the head on his shoulders
*Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel flashbacks*
"Never had a ghoul before... do I get to keep the tip?" LMFAO!!
“Don’t worry boss with my cataracts you only sorta look like the bad guys”
30:51 he just flipped you off ox, waddya gonna do about it
SANStastic Channel wtf thats ingame? Lol
I've always said that a Mexico fallout would be AWESOME! So many heart felt stories to tell
Adlib TV Except you’d have to have a knowledge of spanish
Raul was always my favorite companion in New Vegas, although apparently I never used the right dialog for him to become the old vaquero. And I don't remember him ever flipping me off but that just makes me love him even more.
Never really knew he was a companion until recently and after learning even more about him he has quickly become my favorite companion
The plural of cactus is cacti
k
I was looking for someone to correct him as well, and I found no one. So, I might as well correct him.
Is plural of penis, peni?
Penii
MULTIPLE FULLY ERECT HAND PENISES.
That nose pick.
What time
"If I die, and there's an afterlife, I'll haunt your ass."
8:20 Gonna love how unhinged he said "Loot his shack".
least he isnt one to shoot you for looting his house when hes your party member, unlike Jericho.
"Eat the smoothskin" lmao
“Oh uh sorry boss” had me fall out of bed laughing
Raul was always one of my favorites. The sass and his story is just legendary
30:49 (wow Raul calm down)
Raul is one of my favorite companions. I like to imagine that the courier calls him Abuelo, in a friendly teasing kind of way.
