    Heh. I found the Cafe of Broken Dreams before meeting the Bridge Keeper. Because of that, I got a different answer for the "Which Fallout 1 non-player characters survived for Fallout 2" question. The response I got was; "Wait, do random encounters and Easter Eggs count?"

      It's fine when it's a little bit. But now it's annoying since Bethesda already has a supernatural like game and that's The Elder Scrolls series. So it has to be limited at this point. Plus after the travesty that is Fallout 76 and Fallout First, it's going to be a long time before we see a Fallout game. Plus The Elder Scrolls 6 will probably be mentioned more next year.

      Considering Obsidian is the continuation of Black Isle/Interplay (mostly same people), and NV was designed to be the spiritual successor of Project Van Buren, it's not surprising. It's generally why most people prefer NV out of all the non-isometric Fallouts. However, as you said, they had to gate it since it still belonged to Bethesda and that allowed them to keep with their design style choices.

      @@wannabecliffburton4275 from Wikipedia here so take it with some salt maybe but "One of the earliest uses of the term comes from the 1987. A derivative of the English adjective “normal,” the term “normie” first came into colloquial usage in the context of mental health-related discussions sometime in the mid-to-late 1990s, with its earliest known mention dating back to April 1996 on the personal website of James L. Drush, an addiction recovery counselor, in a web page that explains the common characteristics of a “normie.”
      The earliest known Urban Dictionary entry that addresses the pejorative use of the word was submitted on February 15th, 2004, defining “normy” as “someone who is normal, bland.” " so while not the first it's one of the first uses in a video game and something that would become pop culture

    @Thagomizer Před 4 lety +415

    I've played this game from start to finish more than a dozen times, and I've never encountered some of these. The vendor North of Modoc, for instance. I like to play my FO2 games with a really high Luck stat anyway, so I usually find most of them by the end of the game. I think the Bridge of Death is my favorite. Somehow, it fits right in there. I used to drop off unused party members at the Cafe of Broken Dreams, though I love Oxhorn's idea of utilizing the Shark Club as a player base after taking out Mr. Bishop. I imagine they'd like it there better.
    I only encountered the pariah dog when I was playing with a low Luck character, but I never finished this game. A Luck score of 1 combined with the "Jinxed" trait is absolutely lethal! I once started a Fallout 1 character like this, and selected "Bloody Mess" as his other trait. Want to guess what happened? When I made it to Vault 15, I tried punching the massive radscorpion that sometimes spawns in that area, but rolled a critical miss and punched myself to death! And since I had "Bloody Mess", the death animation showed my arm and half of my torso being blown off. That's the most epic fail I've ever seen.

    The shuttle craft named "Torres" was a reference to the character from Star Trek. Also a fairly funny one. Anytime Torres was in or piloting a shuttlecraft... it pretty much always crashed.
    I sort of thought the "Café of Broken Dreams" might've been a reference to "Quantum Leap" and its ending. The one where the main character ends up in what is essentially a bar/café thing at the end of the universe with people he helped ending up there, and him unsure about what to do. But... maybe I'm just weird and find connections where none exist.

    I was surprised you didn't include the first frank Horrigan random encounter in the main playtrough. It is part of the main story, sorta, and a lot of foreshadowing and hinting as what to come (as well as the first contact the player ever get with the enclave, not counting the crashed vertibird in Klamath)
    At the same time, this encounter alway felt weird,a bit clunky and out of place. As in, why the hell would frank Horrigan just let the payer walk away from this rather than attacking the obvious witness ? (I mean on a gameplay perspective it's obvious why, the player wouldn't stand a chance in hell. But plot wise ?). So I suppose leavin it out does make for a sloghtly better narative.
    Oh and the fallout bible did answer as to what knowlege the man had. Apparently he was one of the early reseacher who were working on the modified FEV research and then defected from the enclave.

    In honor of the holidays I share this
    Twas the night before Christmas, when all thro' my house,
    Not a creature was stirring, not even a mole-mouse;
    The shotgun was hung by the chimney with care,
    Just in case trouble soon ever be there;
    Shaun and Nat Wright were nestled all snug in their beds,
    While visions of sweetrolls danc'd in their heads,
    And me in my boxers, and Piper in only her news cap,
    Had just settled our heads for a long winter's nap-
    When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
    I sprang from the bed to see what the fuck was matter.
    Away to the window I flew like a flash,
    Tore open the shutters, and threw up the sash.
    The moon on the breast of, holy shit is that snow?
    Gave the lustre of mid-day to the wasteland below;
    When, what to my bleary eyes should appear,
    But Preston Garvey! oh god I need a beer.
    He stood at the ready, with his laser musket,
    And I silently wished he would just suck it.
    I knew what he'd say, he says it all the time.
    This line's only here to finish the rhyme.
    "Another settlement needs our help", he said to my dread
    And oh how I wished I could have just stayed in bed.
    So I grabbed my gear and headed out the door.
    Because being The General was a fucking chore.
    Those raiders would suffer, I'd see to that.
    Because Piper was waiting wearing ONLY HER HAT!
    So Garvey and I went out together,
    Hoping the raiders were freezing in this weather.
    One by one, we made them all drop dead,
    All the while I wished I could crawl back into bed.
    For once again Piper was waiting wearing only her HAT.
    And In case it hasn't been made clear, I'm tapping that!
    Her ass not the news cap, You sarcastic sap
    When the last raider cried out, begging for mercy,
    I shot him twice in the face because I felt surly.
    With the raiders all dead my bloodlust was fed.
    I could finally go home and crawl back into bed.
    So Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night and always remember that war… war never changes.

      Not a creature was stirring
      Not even a mouse
      Dad's in the whore house, mom's smoking grass
      And I just settled down for a nice piece of ass
      Out in the yard I heard such a clatter
      I sprang from the toilet to see what's the matter
      Up on the roof I saw a big dick
      At that moment I knew it was St. Prick
      He flew down the chimney like a bat outta hell
      And I stood there and laughed as the fat ass fell
      He filled all our stockings with pretzels and a beer
      And a big rubber dick for my brother the queer
      He roared up the fireplace with a thunderous fart
      And the bastard blew my whole chimney apart
      I heard him say as he drove out of sight
      "Piss on you all, and have a hell of a night!"

    I never got some of these when I played. I might have to go back now and try and find them. Thanks for the up load.

    Hey, I could've sworn the Holy Hand Grenade could be obtained from Fallout 2. I remember going in the cave and everything. Also you were supposed to get the Solar Scorcher in the Guardian of Forever encounter.

      I believe you can get it with the restoration patch, not 100 percent sure though. it's present in the game files and you can get it with a save editor.

      @@howaboutsomesoyfood Oxhorn said the grenade was cut, but you can still pick it up from the chest if you loaded the specific map, or use a save editor to get it in the main-game. I remember because I would edit in a bunch of grenades and blow stuff up : D.

    pariah dog and kamikaze brahmin should be metal bands... Also the abundance of old-fashioned British humor is welcomed.

    The 1st encounter is like the opening sequence of Rouge One.

    That stone head encounter was something special alright.
    I miss this kind of humor in Fallout.

    Hia oxhorn, the Level with the geckos is a cronicals of ridiock reference as the levels supported to be pitch black other than the glow from the red pools. Without the ability to see in the dark perk most chars are completely boned.

    Dogmeat was inspired by dogmeat from the movie “a boy and his dog”
