I played new vegas not long after my own experience of sexual assult so this was a very personal quest for me, I remember crying my eyes out and I was unable to tell my family at the time why I was so upset. Thank you for being so respectful Oxhorn, you're a good man and we need more like you.

pirates have been romanticized and dumbed down to a point where I saw a pirate themed kids show where it said "remeber kids, real pirates never steal!" and that's about 90% of what it means to be a pirate.
vejolta do the show makers don’t know the definition of Pirates?
@@Someguywhocooks would be really funny
"did you illegaly download our movie? thats piracy!"
*but pirates dont steal*
They obviously havent played sea of thieves lmao
In real life: "remember everyone, to chop off a head, you have to get the points to touch these 2 parts!"
They were theives, murderers and rapists who attacked settlements and cargo ships. They killed family's and raped children. Pirates were one of the most destructive, degenerative sets of people to ever exist and are now seen as a joke.
I killed cook cook right after I left new Vegas to go to the bombers i thought he was just some random fiend
Same with me
Did you not question about taking his head?
Same, I was just using fiends as target practice with the special marksmen carbine named American Pride I think it’s called, but anyway I killed him and moved on without even looting him
@@riptalonthegryphon809 the carbine's named "All-American".
The Boomers are on the opposite side of Vegas...
Cook Cook and the Fiends are the reason as to why I LOVED slaughtering the raiders in Nuka World and everywhere else pretty much. They deserve no pity and no remorse.
"Myes, we'll take over the settlements..."
"...That precious little farm run by ghouls is equipped with 4 missile turrets and God knows how many laser turrets. It has 138 defense.
I've seen Raiders in full power armor get shredded in seconds. Would've been faster if they didn't run for cover."
people don’t really like Nuka World but I relished walking into nuka world, seeing the ‘decorations’ (mutilated bodies) that the raiders chose, deeming them as not fit for living, and proceeding to insert multiple MIRVs into their rectums
I like to let the raids take the parks and when Nuka world is all captured and good, I decimate the raiders and shred them to pieces. More dead raiders is always good.
I liked nuka world because it let me finally he evil and be a raider in fallout 4.

I like you'r pfp
It was disappointing that it was just some NCR fucker, huh?
my first couple playthroughs I killed them and didnt even loot them lol so by the 5th or 6th time i actually sided with the ncr

As a survivor of rape when I played this side quest. It made me feel stronger. I'm also glad the Fallout made it a thing even if people don't like talking about it.

@@Dime_time333 what do you mean rape is subjective are you talking about the storyline are you talking about the actual thing that happened. Because as far as I know subjective means based on influence or by personal feelings so either you saying it's a kink. Or that you say that I deserve that which I was five when it happened. That a five year old was so sexual to this older 35 year old man that I deserve to be raped. Is that what you're saying Luke cuz that's what it sounds like to me and that's disgusting.

Cook-cook is easily one of the most satisfying to kill in the fallout games
All of them are satisfying to kill, but the way they wrote Cook Cook made me hate him so much. Whenever I replay NV, once I get good enough weapons, I always do the quest to kill those sick fucks. Man there aren't many games I have played that made me hate an enemy so much
Cook Cook is a fun character.
"i'm cook cook bitch, better not forget it!"
i agree
Kenney Kenner yeah and he sounds like Mr T
There's a little building nearby great place to snipe him from. i used the anti material rifle and sent him flying

True but Betsy should be shamed for the queer shit she was pulling even after the treatment
@johngraham7976 the fuck are you on about? What criticism?
I was also raped, it was an awful experience. Not to mention I was only nine, i often got upset when speaking to others and even harmed myself during therapy. When I was in therapy i was given a stuffed cat and she was my best friend, she helped me through sleep. They tried to get me to type out my experience but within two months they got a measly two sentences out of me, I couldn't handle it. Now i'm going to go play fallout new vegas and screw over some fiends.

Make him stutter with fury as he's bashing cook cooks face in with the but of his rifle.
Funny story: I went on a fiend genocide and killed Cook Cook before I even knew about his story. For some reason I don’t remember him being too difficult. I then randomly found these women with the dialogue option telling them about Cook Cook being dead and didn’t even know what I was talking about.
Same, wiped out vault 3 and was walking around with cook cooks head b4 i even knew the story behind em.

Cook Cook giving psychological assistance to the young children of the Mojave
This story is really sad but I love how all the characters care about Betsy and want to help her recover. It's really uplifting that so many people genuinely love her. The game developers handled this really well in my opinion
I think if anything it tried to bring awareness to this issue. Some rape victims do in fact become hypersexualized to deal with their trauma, some even start hitting on the sex they originally weren't attracted to as a way of coping/distancing themselves from their r*pist, and it's the only way they can feel that they can get control. Betsy's story and the effect it had on her unit was was heartbreaking, but it was nice to see that she had her unit to support her. In a way the game is trying to encourage victims to reach out and be okay with asking for help.
When i was 7, i never really understood these situations. All i cared about was good loot and mutilation. Now i realize how real this game is.
oh how innocent we once were, now we know all too well.
You played fallout at 7? Imagine going to the west side and that dude asks if you want a whore. Then you not knowing what it is you ask your parents
Wtf you played this at 7 how did you even have the mental capacity to fluently play it?

Ah, that's why she sounds familiar. I couldn't place where I'd heard her before.

Looking back at this makes me wanna cry. I rarely, if ever, see a trauma response similar to mine represented in media. I hypersexualized myself as a way to deal with trauma. It kinda made me wonder for a while if my trauma was even valid. Was I faking it? This quest was in the back of my mind for a while, I never truly forgot it, but...I think I needed to see it again. It kinda makes me feel better, and being able to actually help her in the end...it means a lot to me
I'm sorry you had to go through that
I’m so deeply sorry for what happened to you
Hope things are better for you now... sorry you went through that... my partner had a similar experience....
Lol all ♀are "hypersexualized" you all cant keep your 🦵s closed!
I still think that, I'm still broken, I mentally over sexualize everything 😔 im also an introvert who stays inside a lot so i can't act on it. I hope you got past it 😊
P.s. I agree with you on every aspect of your comment thank you for letting me know I'm not alone

@@PaulRudd1941 Nice argument. Doesn't change the fact that the Nuremburg confessions were brought about through the use of extreme torture, (specifically testicle crushing) and cannot be seen as legitimate evidence.
“But it’s really hard to romanticize evil when you see the impact evil has on people”
As a paratrooper myself, the family bond in a unit is real.
I'm a rape survivor myself, and it was still a relatively fresh experience for me around the time I started playing fallout new vegas. It was very difficult to play through this part of the game, the way it was portrayed made me feel like I was reliving my own experience. Seeing Betsy act the way she did didn't exactly help me feel better either.
However, I played on. I got Betsy help, I killed all the friends, and I especially took my time with Cook Cook. Even with his abhorrent reputation, I didn't feel fear when I confronted him. Killing Cook Cook for the first time was easily one of the most satisfying parts of the game for me, hands down. Putting him down was a coping mechanism in a way. That maybe there will be some kind of justice for what happened to me someday, like there was justice for Betsy and Sarah.
Betsy having the ability to get help also persuaded me to get help. Seeing Ten Of Spades reminded me of how my family blamed themselves for "letting me go through that pain" when it wasn't entirely their fault. The thing about the Courier is that they're an outsider in all of this. These quests are entirely optional and there's no requirement to do them to complete the game in any capacity. The Courier's only true incentive is the caps they can earn as a result of this. The fact that the Courier can go deeper than surface level mercenary work and truly bring these people justice and the help they need makes me genuinely happy. Even in a post apocalypse, compassion can still be abundant.
But yeah, I'm done going off on a tangent here. This game made me realize that it's okay to be hurt and seek help for what happened to me. Betsy is a more important character than Obsidian ever even realized. Props to them for this absolutely amazing story.
Thank you for sharing your story
That's why I like New Vegas so much, it's a lot deeper and stays away from stereotypes than what Bethesda has done so far.
I'm glad this game helped you too.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Confronting that shit is never easy.

Blackaceed "Father" is indeed an idiot. He essentially had the same plan as "The Master". I wouldn't mind if he would just drop the saving humanity bullshit. Replacing humanity with robots will not save humanity, and calling surface dwellers tainted makes no sense. Synths aren't human in the first place, so how the fuck are they supposed to be purer?

@@stickman6608 To quick
Watching and playing this mission over recently, I noticed when you use a certain speech option with 10 of Spades he not only speaks perfectly but with a very different tone. It made me wonder if he knows more then he is letting on, there is no supporting evidence that I know of but the way he spoke suggested that he may be faking his speech impediment. We only knew the man through a short couple of quests too. I'm not saying he helped Cook Cook, but I've seen situations where something like this happened and a bystander was involved. A fight is much easier to break up then a rape, it's terrifying in fact. Why would Cook Cook just leave? Pretty Sarah should be proof enough that nobody walks away from Cook Cook without a few burns, however Betsy did. Perhaps I'm reading too much into this but it's possible that 10 of Spades may have witnessed or been present when the act was committed but was to afraid to intervene. Betsy may even be covering for this by altering her story for fear of getting 10 of Spades in trouble. Lastly, I don't remember the exact name, but a form of survivors guilt can result in someone faking an injury or illness to make themselves feel less responsible. His stutter could simply be the result of that incident heck even if he did get knocked out it's still possible, something about the tone and sudden lack of stuttering makes me believe he saw more then he lets on. I will also say that I suffered from a speech impediment when I was little, nothing bad happened and sometimes if I concentrated I could say lines perfectly, useually this took so much focus, that inflection and tone would be lost. Perhaps he has always had this issue, maybe he didn't or maybe a voice actor just got a little lost with the dialogue. I'm just saying it all seems a little suspicious.
You are a very intelligent person, and this is a very interesting in depth theory, I remember thinking similar things when I talked to most of 1st recon, I remember thinking that it was strange 1st recon wouldn’t help with cook cook
I killed him at the begining of the game on the way to New Vagas

I prefer seeing realism in a game, no matter how dark and gritty it may be, as just as there is good, there is evil, and everything in between, and that's what I like to see in my stories, whether it be a movie, a game, or whatever, because it means the creators were not afraid of showing both sides of the coin.
this so much, it just ruins the immersion in a apocalyptic world when the bad guys will murder steal and everything in between but somehow both the good and bad guys agree that rape is a no no but skinning and eating a man alive see that is okay nudity is a no no...
labyrinthgirl17 YES but now libtards are trying to make games so politically correct
It really builds up the fuck that guy factor which makes boss fights so satisfying
@@ElementVoidX It all depends on how they rationalize their actions. I can see someone saying "I do this bad thing, but I think this other thing is bad, therefore I'm a good person because I don't do the other thing." It all comes down to how they can accept their own actions. Some can accept that they are a bad person. Others have to rationalize their decisions away to maintain their own sense of self.
Same I feel a sense of closure due to a friend of mine being abused when they were younger
I don't usually comment, but I noticed you overlooked a few things about Cook-Cook. In addition to his other crimes its also heavily implied he is into bestiality. Cut dialogue has him talk affectionately about his pet brahmin Queenie and if the player kills her during the battle he will rage out and murder his own raiders. The fact that he is mentioned having a horrible smell is another big clue, not to mention the possibility of him being a cannibal as well. Its been a while since I played NV but I'm pretty sure you can find human flesh near his camp. I might be mistaken though. His unwillingness to butcher Queenie may also indicate that a lot of his meals are made from humans. Anyway, I'm glad I killed the sick piece of crap with a Holy Hand Grenade on my Wild Wasteland file.
Zombie Reaper All the Fiends are cannibals.
I know that many of them are, but I don't think its ever confirmed that they all are. Again, its been a while so I may be mistaken. Is there a terminal entry or something somewhere that mentions this? New Vegas was a big game so its easy to overlook stuff like that. Thanks.
Right, but I don't see how this means all of the fiends are cannibals. Just because Cook-Cook rapes or burns everything he can find doesn't mean they all do. They all do drugs and most attack on sight but I don't remember ever finding any evidence all of them eat human flesh. Some of them probably do, but I think most are so out of their minds on chems that they just keep attacking until they OD or get shot without much thought about things like food or shelter.
the human flesh is in violet trailer. i think she gives it to her dog
Cook cook is a cannibal it’s confirmed just look into his cut dialogue. I don’t think that matters though because the player can also become a canibal
I’ve just started this compilation of Oxhorn’s New Vegas and I hope in future episodes he starts speaking out his character dialogue again. Especially with Ulysses. His dialogue is still epic to this day.
Cook Cook is probably one of my favourite characters because of his cut voice lines and the unique window into just how dark and evil the wasteland can truly be
One thing you'll learn about the NCR, they aren't exactly the good guys. They try, but like any government, they make a lot of mistakes.
They heavily tax citizens, aggressively expand their territory and make deals with groups only to go back on their word later. Add to that a lot of the higher ups seem to have their own personal agendas and problems with corruption.
Martiellmo least theyre better than the holier than thou minutemen
They're realistic because they're not perfect, but I think the right way to go would be solving their problems with excessive bureaucracy and corruption while expanding on the positive things they have going on for them. Not just dismissing them as another corrupt faction and tossing them to the side, "throwing the baby out with the bathwater", so to speak. That's why I like the ending in which Chief Hanlon goes on to pursue a career in politics and starts working to fix the corruption from within as senator of Redding.
Martiellmo Ave True to Caesar
Too bad Caesar's Legion is always portrait as the bad guys. If you join Caesar, everyone will think you're bad, you'll be the villain of the story if you join Legion, an anti-hero at best. The game tries so hard to make you avoid joining Legion, which is a damn shame because I like Caesar's line of thought. He crucifies chem-pushers and criminals like the Fiends, I out one out of his misery, should have let him live tortured. Caesar might seem harsh, but he's what the Mojave needs

I’m not normally a person to watch narration videos but I love how your story telling voice just pulls me in and listen to the stories I’ve done but in a seemingly new way. Thanks and I’ll be watching more in the future
They need to make New Vegas Remastered.
BlameYourLag agreed. Expand New Vegas and some of the cut contents for the full experience.
BlameYourLag This would be a worthy(worth money) endeavor.
Bethesda said already that they plan to do that on twitch, since both Morrrowind, Oblivion, FO3 and NV Needs a Win 10 and BethesdaNet Upgrade for MODS!
BlameYourLag yes yes they should
Ohh, if they put Morrowind in to a newer engine I will jizz for Scotland!

I can understand the rage people experience and the desire for revenge after they get abused and/or violated in one way or another. I have strong sympathy for those who live through spouts of depression, rage, guilt or whatever emotions come after their traumatic experience, and after learning about one of my friend's own experiences, I felt beyond angry. I wanted to bash the person's skull in for what they did in their honour after hearing about it.
Somebody I knew who almost drowned my brother right in front of me got off too easy. I don't know how he died and I don't rightfully care, but it was still too easy after all he did. Literally tearing apart families, forcing horrendous acts on young and innocent people, getting them hooked and supplied with narcotics, being physically abusive...and I spent years of my life wanting to kill him personally for what he did. And I never got to. Knowing that enrages me on a strong level. The only great thing about him being dead is I now know he can't hurt anyone else ever again. I frankly hope the bastard rots in a shallow grave, not that he deserves one for all he did. He wasn't what I'd call 'human'.
Victims of abuse, you're never alone in anything. Y'all should know that at the very least. One day, sooner or later, smile in knowledge that whoever abused you will get their come-upance. They should learn four very important words when they get taken to prison: ''Don't drop the soap.'' They'll get it worse than whatever they did to you. That makes me happy.
Humans are the nastiest, vilest creatures on this planet. We don't get to pick and choose what we call "human".
Human history is a history of war and conquest. Almost every war in history has been hell for civilians, and yes, that certainly includes a lot of physical abuse.
I wish more people had a heart like you
All rapists and pedophiles should be executed. Firing squad or public hanging
Sex offenders are protected in prisons in most countries though 😡
I know this is an old video OX but honestly this one has a touch of flare that I feel you really brought out the story even in a situation like the one involved. I know its a game but I think people realizing that these stories are honestly everywhere may help them through their own trauma. You brought it down to earth and showed your true character. Awesome job man!
Hard to believe that this game is what set the bar for me in terms of an RPG.
Sadly no other game has come close to this masterpiece that obsidian created.
Have you tried Pillars of Eternity? Totally different style of RPG, but the writing and game overall are pretty damn good.
What about KOTOR? Morrowind? These games blow NV out of the water as far as the RPG experience goes.
Armin Witcher 3 is a hell of a game. New Vegas will still always be my favorite RPG, likely favorite game too, of all time, but W3 certainly comes close. Great quests and world/lore with a lot of hard choices.
Yeah i have the Witcher 3 on steam and it is a pretty solid rpg with a lot of immersion and gwent.
Yeah i have seen my friend play it on steam.
cook cook has a named pet bramin he loves, if you kill it first he frenzys and kills all his fiend friends.

Killing St. John was so unsatisfying because you want to do so much worse to him... Great writing by Obsidian
live dismemberment. also theres a crucifixion mod.
Feed some deathclaws viagra and toss him to them that should be nice
You people are cruel 😂😂😂😂
@@prodrigon5156 Depends, would you consider crucifying a rapist cruel? The one thing I dislike is, lack of proper punishment, this isn't about dominance, but simply locking someone in jail, is not as terrifying a message, as outright disabling someone for stealing something. It's cruel, but it gives the message that crime is unforgivable, and strikes fear into those who want to commit crimes. If you're honest, you're safe now, aren't you?
@@AmadisLFE
The fuck? Honestly, those excessive commas and no periods make the never ending phrase very ambiguous. Are you telling it's okay to dismember AND torture criminals? Or that rapists are different, thus warranting punishment which would be too harsh for other crimes?
Also, are you implying the other commentator is safe because of that sort of punishment? Or that him being safe means he wouldn't understand?
Anyways, a punishment must fit the crime and circumstances. Rape and other _Malun in se_ crimes are tough to punish fittingly, but it's important to not go overboard on the mindset of punishing others. Not trying to insult you, but your focus on punishment with your mention of fear and domination being factors, or your denying of domination being one, make you sound a bit immature on this matter.
After all, human psychology is really complex and our society's own complexity just amplifies it. So, to focus simply on punishing is a half measure, fear isn't enough to control people effectively. Any real politician would tell you that from Sumer to today, except the autocrats with the intent of abusing violence. To be simple, you must use a carrot as well as a stick. People need rewards as well as punishments, they need to vent out their frustrations and sate desires.
For more, see Maslow's Scale, Freud and Jung's respective anthologies, Freire and Foucault's works, any good book on management and administration or justice systems and whatever else you can get your hands on about these matters.
Oxhorn: I wanted to kill all these fiends.

I'm glad that Oxhorn is reaching out to other fallout games for his videos.
Blazerider 13 agree
Blazerider 13 true
It is good, many of his Fallout 4 videos are "amazing", but they are slowly starting to average out at "good" as he goes through more and more of the lore and begins reaching a little more. A fresh set of material is a nice change. He should obviously keep making Fallout 4 content as long as it's interesting to both us and himself, but a change in flavour every now and again is great.
Oxhorn please do a video of vault 22 please
I am happy from it as well.
Bloody mess screwed me with Violet but hell, slaying these bastards was fun, the pay was just extra.
I know, it's awful. I had to reload a previous save after she just exploded, and I ended up quickloading about five times to keep them from bursting into pieces.
Connor Tyler That's why in those cases, you have to shoot them in the arms or legs, makes it take longer buy its what ya gotta do.
Evan Delrio bloody mess can complicate this; a limb shot causes the head and the rest of the limbs to explode. xD
When I usually shoot enemies in the arms and legs even with bloody mess they don't fully explode, It has to be a head or torso shot to do such a thing I think, it also could be just because I didn't completely cripple the limb when I killed them.
11:53 Notice how both the options have previously been activated.
Oxhorn thinking we wouldn't notice!
Joins legion,whips out camp maccarn,kills cook-cook for the fun of it,finds this video, thinks wish I could of had cook-cook crucified
This whole video legit sums up every revenge movie ever.

Looked good on them.
This popped up in my recommended videos and I'm glad I clicked on it. Nice to see someone discuss the more sensitive aspects of New Vegas in a mature and compelling way.
@jango papo Whatever bro.
Your videos actually gave me more respect for FO:NV and made me give it a second chance, as the first time I played it, I felt it was boring and lost the storytelling that I loved so much about FO3. I frequently come back and watch these playlists every couple months when I want so good storytelling in my life.
I forget where, but someone suggests killing his favorite Brahmin. When I did this he went berserk and started fighting his other fiends, making him much easier to kill.
Fallout 4 would be like
"Shit this is too hard. just make Cook-Cook just a generic bad guy with a flamethrower and a simple 'go kill this guy' quest"
Elyna Lilyarel that's the thing with fallout 4 there's no story around where you go
Elyna Lilyarel I love Fallout 4 but sadly that is indeed what would happen.
Fallout 4 felt very dumbed down.
and the worst part is, THIS quest is too simple. Dermont practically tells you with no real work needed that he's involved and all you need to do is search his room. and you somehow magically know he has one despite it not being told to you. which is not to say its a major flaw, but goes to show the major weakness in bethesda. when even the simple and straightforward quest is too complicated.
with that said Fallout 4 still has its merits, and in my opinion, has the "walking simulator" part of Fallout nailed down. the world is alive, the raiders feel like people (if bad people in most cases.) the upgrade in combat features was something that was needed (not very immersive to have 15 fiends with pipes charge you.) I just wish it had kept better quests if it had it easily would've been the best fallout game to date. (though I still would've preferred new vegas. I much more enjoy being a cowboy than a vault dweller. though that's up to preference.)
ShadowAngel remember, new vegas wouldnt exist without bethesda buying fallout. As they saved the series
The Fallout universe needs to have more REAL life situations. We need plots and characters we can literally hate, hunt and put down & feel good about it. I gotta say, Im loving the way your doing this video. Its like a walk through, Roll player, investigative reporter. You should do this like a fallout investigator and crime documentary producer.
Rhino L-V I don't know if you play it on PC, or have played the mod before, New Vegas Bounties is somewhat like that, the sequel to it is a little more in depth (imo) because with some of the bounties you have to find notes or clues to where they are.
Damn, I'm on PC so I'll give them both a shot.
Have you modded before?
No, I'm trying to learn how on my own but I'm not getting anywhere. It sucks because I have some incredible ideas that would blow the fallout community away. I'm looking for someone to work with in a writing & idea role, as I'd probably drive someone insane if they were trying to teach me moding. I was part of a larger group as a writer, but they gone on Hiatus until summer.
If I had any technical know how I would be happy to help, but I haven't gotten too much into modding besides installing them due to my lack of an actual desktop, and not having the time to do sit down and learn how to code, 3D model, script etc.
hey ox i know this videos three years old at this point but i just wanna say as a history buff there have been some examples of "good" pirates in history. by that i mean theyre have been good pirates the way there have been good cowboys like wild bill hickock and Wyatt Earp. take for example sir Francis drake, he was the first Englishman to survive a global voyage, and fought for England during the spanish-english war, he donated the gold looted off most ships in the Spanish armada to the coffers of England which in tern lead to the colonization of north America …yes I know that in and of itself is very black and white in terms of history but i like to take the good with the bad in history.
my pint is while history does have truly evil men who took up the roles of piracy and did horrible things (Edward teach aka Blackbeard captain Kidd), there are just as many examples of swashbuckling sailors who fought for a "good" cause, privateers were essentially the naval version of mercenaries like the hessians who were paid by countries to fight in wars like the French Indian and later the American revolution.
but hey im just saying this as a history buff who enjoys looking into the past with an open mind. still enjoy your videos, they make great listening material when im at work and can listen to videos on my phone
Great video. My first playthrough of any Fallout game I go super altruistic with the thought that the second playthrough I'll try being evil .... but then I hit the stories like this and decide (every time) that there is no way .... not even in a game that I can let evil like that stand.
Killing the Fiends is simply pragmatic you can easily justify an evil player wiping them out.
wait till you tell them that you are the fucking mailman.
Potato Potato As Cass says, "You don't fuck with the guy that delivers your mail."

Shoots the flamethrower right out of Cook-Cook's hands.
*HE PULLS OUT ANOTHER FLAMETHROWER*
yeah, bastard has two on him in most cases, one being a flamer and the other being an incinerator, probably prefers using the flamer to cook cook and the incinerator to fight with.
@@UltimateGamerCC one for long range one for short range.
@@vin-dog575 yeah i know that, Flamer does close and Incinerator shoots Fireballs at distance, kinda wish there was a Napalm Mortar for splash Fire damage.
@@UltimateGamerCC I think the incinerator has small splash damage if I am not mistaken.
@@vin-dog575 not sure about that, i'm not exactly familiar with using the Incinerator, i imagine not that many people are.
I camped out on a ridge with Boone just north of Cook-Cook's hideout. I got low to the ground and watched through my binoculars till nightfall came. Five fiends including the rapist, and three brahmin. I pulled out my silenced .308 and shot the cows dead hoping one of them was his precious Queenie. Almost immediately I began hearing screems from inside the ruined buildings as flames began spewing from the windows. He hadn't noticed us yet and was in a frenzy killing fiends wildly. An explosion erupted that was big enough to send chunks of Queenie all the way to my feet as the sounds of battle finally began to die down. A couple fireballs from an incinerator flew from the building and a spray of flames caught a fleeing fiend, and then it was over. After a couple of minutes we began to creep towards the base, charred body parts lining the dirt at we stalked forward. We reached the ruined building and peaked through the window. There stood Cook-Cook, surrounded by corpses. He limped over to one of the bodies, clearly wounded, and stared at the ground mourning the loss of his Queenie. I crawled through the window, drew my silenced .45 pistol, and fired a round into the dirt by his feet. He turned around quickly, savage anger showing from behind his helmet. And before he could even grab his incinerator I put three rounds in his chest and dropped him to the ground. I then ripped his welding mask off and removed his head. The only left to do before I turned in the bounty was to throw his ass on the fire so there could be nothing left of him to speak of. For Betsy.
That... Is... Awesome.
Love how gaming gives little stories like this. I just happened upon Cook-Cook on accident walking towards a Ranger Outpost (fuck that codes quest), so no such luck here.
..vengeance..
Send him to hell pre burnt
You're a good writer!
God dude, like honestly, even if it’s a game your empathy about rape and sexual abuse is refreshing. Good on you bro^^
“Evil isn’t just a lifestyle choice”. Yes.
Great content as always Oxhorn. New Vegas truly was not afraid to let the player get their hands dirty and see the dark, ugly side of humanity. I think most game devs are too afraid to get this "adult" in their games nowadays, which is a real shame. As horrifying as this story is, that's part of what makes it great. New Vegas and the world of Fallout is a dark, dangerous place without laws. In such a world, of course characters like these Fiends and Cook-Cook would exist. Thanks for reminding me how amazing New Vegas is.
The Wanderer Obsidian was great at showing how fucked the world was, even in The Strip, pretty much the safest place in the world, still had horrible shit going on
Rex a hotel cooking up human meat how ravishing
This is why New Vegas is one of my favorite games. If I could play it again I would.
The best part about New Vegas is that darker themes aren't used for pure shock value. Most games today gandle mature topics with grace of an enraged supermutant, they milk them for advertising and hype and shove them in your face just so people can say "Wew lads that's a real MATURE game with GREY MORALITY and SERIOUS themes".
New Vegas doesn't shy from showing what exactly would happen if corrupted bureaucratic nation were to clash with a horde of fanatical neo-tribals that try to mimic the Hollywood version of Rome in post-apocalyptic wasteland near a city-state that exists solely on gambling, drugs and whores. Spoilers: nothing good happens.
But at the same time this game isn't a pure horrorshow, dark things aren't the focus of the story or the main feature. They're here because that what would happen in Fallout universe, because evil characters aren't Saturday morning villians, they really do a lot of fucked up shit.
Fiends are showed exacty for what they are - dangerous insane monsters who barely even register what is going on around them because of the drugs they constantly use. But in grand scheme of things Feinds are ultimately inconsequential - because they are crazy junkies, you know.
Sexual assaults and rape treated as FUCKED-UP THINGS(tm). No shock value, no in-your-face "look at how grimdark we are!!1". These things are just kind of inevitable in world of Fallout, and therefore threated as any other disgusting shit (cannibalism, torture, you name it): it is there, it is bad, there are physical and psychological consequences for victims, and only complete degenerates do that. You can help people, you can ignore them.
If Fallout was made by Bioware I bet there would be huge hype for DARK BACKSTORIES and MATURE THEMES.
New Vegas is kinda like "Well, yeah, this happens. You really shoud've expected that."
As a sidenote, this approach does make playing an evil character in Fallout games actually feel bad. Because you do really, really bad things. Things, like No-bark Noonan said, "even your own ma couldn't forgive."
This is something F4 was missing. Fallout 3 and New Vegas did a really damn good job showing the darker sides of the wasteland while also showing the weirdness I love(d) about the series.
Watching this made me realize how much tamer Fallout4 is compared to NV.
Marco fallout 4 is watered down shooter trash compared to new vegas and the first two games.
Delta 23 Except it really isn’t and no one cares right now cause it isnt the topic here
The President but he's not wrong
Dr White Still, that's off topic. He just said Fallout 4 is tamer than NV.
Dr White how is he right? its opinionated. personally i agree though.
After all these years Cook-cook’s head still in my inventory
Im sure it’s rotting pretty bad
Did anyone else hear “if you want the price for poon, talk to the horse.” at 2:30?
nobody :
Captain Parker's mouth when He speaks : 😮
It's like that one video with the MS paint face's mouth going up and down in sync to a rock song.
Mfw too many mods are applied to new vegas.
I killed Nephi's group of thugs at a really low level without knowing that there was a bounty for them.. *sigh*
I accidentally killed him..
exactly the same with me. he just attacked me out of nowhere, and i just put him down. and it wasn't until i was selling all the loot when i realized i had killed - some named npc; sold a unique golf club; and gotten some nephi's severed head in my inventory _gross_
Well, talk about a large fuckup.
Same, I was so confused about why he had a name until I stumbled my way into McCarran
Do I need to talk to Nephi or Cook-Cook? I have their domes in my my girl Veronica’s knapsack. If I have to reload an earlier save just to find out they mean something later on
with the bit about prates at the end, you were right about the last generation of pirates (Edward Thatch [aka black beard] and Charles Vein) but earlier pirates such as Hornigold were liberator's of impressed crews (slave crews) and even formed a democratic republic, they were merely privateers put out of a job so they turned their eyes to the evils of the sea faring community. hell, they didn't even get stopped until they started taking and liberating slave ships.
I mean.. It's needed in a post apocolyptic story.. Makes it more emersive.. And very enjoyable to turn raiders into goo as they scream in pain
