Join me in covering the Wild Wasteland Trait for Fallout New Vegas. I go over every encounter within the base game and its DLCs.

People say it breaks immersion I disagree, it’s the hot desert and you’d most likely go a little crazy so this perk fits exactly how it should
Exactly! It's so hot there that you wish for a nuclear winter instead
Anyone who says it breaks immersion has never been in to the desert wilderness. The folks out there are truly something else.
After 3 days in the desert fun, I was Looking at a river bed
I'm glad I can roleplay as someone with schizophrenia
People also say it's entirely optional. (You need to take the wild wasteland perk for any of this to even show up)
Bethesda took that personally and made it mandatory.
edit: Okay, i've been informed that the wild wacky stupid nonsense is in fact the main story quest, not easter eggs or reference humor. Oops.
The fact that they had 18 months to make this game and they dedicated time to wacky Easter eggs that only occur IF you take the perk is wild
the best dev team fallout ever had
More accurate is to say that this perk was kinda compromise between developers who wanted to add some weird funny non canon content and others creators who didn’t. So the came up with idea adding these content as a perk
You forgot the part in lonesome road ending cards, where if you decide to nuke long 15, the rangers and troopers NCR monument will be half buried in sand and a trooper is on his knees, referencing planet of the apes
"The Couriers finally, really did it. They blew up the lands West and East of the Mojave... damning them all to hell."

I personally love the wild wasteland and I wish it was prevalent in the games, little surprised no mods have tried to do that in fallout 4 or 3
It kinda is fallout 1 and 2 is full of this humour, the reason it's not in 3 and 4 is because Bethesda made those games, obsidian entertainment made new Vegas ie interplay or blackisle studios
There is a wild wasteland mod for fallout 4
Not
More saliently: With how absolutely disastrous the writing and quest design for Fo3 and 4 is, how would you *tell* which are the jokes and which are supposed to be played straight?
Fo4 has, in no particular order
a ghoul child trapped in a fridge for 200 years.
a hardboiled detective (from the wrong era) downloaded into a robot, tracking down his ghoul nemesis that murdered his GF
A crew of crazy robots driving a ancient age-of-sail ship by mounting rocket engines to it
a super mutant looking for the milk of human kindness
a small child merchant with a sentry-bot bodyguard
A super-mutant-behemoth wearing a swan boat as a hat.
A man tending a bar in the middle of nowhere
Dead brahmin crushed under a fridge (random spawn, if someone can explain that, go ahead)
And far too many more to list...
Capitalism kills
The Crusoe encounter could also be a reference to the old original pink panther movie. In the movies detective Clusoe is tasked with finding the pink panther which is a rare diamond. The movie is a comedy and sees Clusoe being hilariously inept and bad at being a detective, hence the "bad detective" reference.
That’s what I thought too
This is 100% what the reference is
Yeah. The character model looks like Caruso, but I think they intentionally combined the names.
It's none of these things. I'm actually surprised everyone is getting this wrong considering the book it's referencing is a literary classic. The book Robinson CRUSOE, is about a man who ends up stranded on an island of cannibals...you know...like the White Glove Society.
@@antmandals325 damn. YOU'RE the best detective!
I have never considered not taking the trait. It's worth it for the alien blaster alone.
YCS is kinda better tho
@@kaizenregimentrue. YCS can be used as a primary weapon while Alien blaster's good for a couple of hella powerful shots
You can change out perks in the Big MT dlc & get both weapons.
@@CZcamscanfuckagoat I looked into that, I don't think it works. Have you done it?
@@happilyham6769If you're playing on pc just add the perk using the console.
"Take drugs. Kill bear"🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥
The mini deathclaw is no joke
I was so confused. For some reason I thought New Vegas was older than Indiana Jones 4. Didn't even realize New Vegas came out 2 years after.
blame it on the FO3 engine
My dumb self somehow thought New Vegas came before Fallout 3. I can still remember the confusion on the GameStop employee's face when I asked for the "new fallout" and he handed me NV and I said blunty afterwards "no, the newer one."
I appreciate that you included the alternatives for each encounter if possible. I like seeing the differences between perkless and perk, not just the encounters
If I remember correctly, there’s also a non-Wild Wasteland occurrence of ‘Kilroy Was Here’ in the sewers beneath the area around Vegas.
Really speaks to the influence of pop culture when you're not exactly 100% familiar with a lot of these source materials but you can still place a somewhat accurate guess of their references.
Wild wasteland is the trait I picked for my very first playthrough 😅
same lol
Ditto
The walking eye robot from Venture Brothers was referencing a 1964 episode of "Jonny Quest"; the robots are identical. A good portion of the show is a parody of Jonny Quest.
Go Team Venture!
The show The Venture Bros going so far as to have characters from Johnny Quest in the show, albeit in a aged up form.
I was glad to see someone else saw the similarities. I was about to say the same thing.
Also the spiders in Doctor Who New Series episode 2 The End of the world
I can’t help but feel old and confused. I got this game when it first came out, I’ve played it so much that in my mind it was older than a lot of the references made.
ditto
Like Crystal Skull, if I guessed, I would have thought it was older than the 4th Indiana Jones film, despite the reference clearly putting it after.
Who else's first encounter of the wacky wasteland was the indiana jones refrigerator encounter? I remember not understanding what is going on when the music chimed 😂
He calls them Donnie and Marie, which is a reference to Donnie & Marie.
something about Cookie Monster having his own easter egg in Fallout of all games, seems surprisingly and weirdly fitting
New Vegas was just incredible.
since playing this game non stop since it came out, I have chosen WWL every single time, so this video is very nice since I had no idea half of these where WWL events, especially the mr new vegas one.
This perk introduced me to Monty Python and I always pick it in every play through
What an interesting way to get introduced to Monty Python lol not bad interesting just interesting interesting
7:23 - It seems more like a _Pink Panther_ reference, as Inspector Clouseau was always portrayed as a bumbling investigator.
That ambient bell music around 14:00 is very creepy. Awesome stuff.
I’m pretty sure this is from the Dead Money DLC which has some great atmospheric music throughout!
It's a soundtrack from FO1, in one of the final locations, the cathedral. FNV used a lot of soundtracks from FO1 and FO2, and they fit perfectly
I love the thumbnail on this! Reminds me of Daria or 90s mtv in general
Finally a CZcams video I can sit and watch.
This video is perfect for min/maxers like me who just have to take Skilled and Four Eyes. Thanks!
I've always appreciated the variety WW would provide for your courier as a character. Like yeah, the dude is a combat monster on two feet, and he's got a kickass taste in music, but he swears that he talked to a dog and killed some aliens.
Love this perk never have i not chosen it, this combined with die of destiny and a world of pain is a must play for all
I forget where it is but in lonesome road on a wall you can find an ash outline of a person which is a looney toons reference
Notorious Big lmfao
It just makes the game feel a lil more like Fallout 2 and I like it for that. Honestly, I just hate not using it as often because I like both my trait slots. However! I realized you can console command it in after leaving the docs place so I would recommend that as well for people. It's not an unfair advantage imo
Great video! I didnt know the disco music only came with wwl
Great video, I learned loads even though I am someone who has always played with wild wasteland on, I didn't know all the things it caused. Keep up the good work 👏
Ah yes, the rap artist Notorious big.
21:04 Try Guest as password is a reference to the Cartoon Show "Archer" where the secret service the protagonist works always uses Guest as Password for their PC´s. Also it is a running gag tru the whole series. Idk what occasion in game it is, but the first appearance of that joke is in the pilot episode of archer where he needs the Password to enter the Mainframe of his own Agency. So maybe even the Welcome to the Mainframe is a little reference to Archer.
Kilroy was here (oooOoOoOO)
reading this made the sound play in my head
Done and Marie are a music duo not a TV show
From 1975 to 1979, Donny and Marie Osmond had their own TV variety show, simply called _Donny and Marie._
another fun fact with the trauma suits, In one of Capaldi's episodes "oxygen" the main physical antagonist are basically trauma suits that hijack the dead/dying bodies of the workers wearing them.
"Im a Brother Seamus!"
"What like an Irish monk?"
I know this is probably not actually the case but I assumed Crusoe to be a reference to Inspector Clouseau rather than CSI Miami. But meme culture probably wins that fight.
the skeleton with the hat and the dog with glasses has always reminded me of JoJos part 3, the skeletons hat looks like Joseph's and the dog looks like Iggy
Seymore asses was itself a simpsons call back
This needs more views
Man, I need to play New Vegas...more. I have Wild Wasteland picked. Haven't found most of these. Especially the DLC ones
Notorious Big. Hehe.
First thing I always do with Tale of Two Wastelands is mod is so Wild Wasteland is given for free.
I took this perk the 2 times I played NV. So, besides the perk icon popping up, I didn't knew what changed
Everyone forgets Ed in the entrance to Vault 34, the sound effect and wild wasteland pop up appears with it as well .
The Venture “Brothers”
Notorious big 😂😂
That alien blaster is bad ass
I usually wait until I get to Big MT to turn on Wild Wasteland as the YCS-128 Prototype Gauss is a better option in my opinion
I legit thought the Mr. New Vegas lines were just regular lines lol
Notorious BIG ladies and gentlemen...
its more a prewar gambler fedora hat than an ncr ranger hat
You said notorious "big". I understand why but the dude deserves proper respect. Its bee eye gee
Did you know little Timmy never fell in a well on Lassie.
Isn't the skeleton a reference to the fridge skeleton at 1:26 - with the fedora like Indy?
Never saw the pimpboy 3 billion wonder if it is a andre 3000 reference
Man I never thought about that but I hope so! I love Andre 3000! That would be a cool reference!
I doubt it
Honestly it has always been my fav perk, and I am one of those players who always uses it.. Even for the first time playing said game. I was soo disappointed with Fallout 4 not having it.
"NCR ranger hat" my man thats Dr Jones
ive been playing this game since i was like 12 and im 22 now and i dont think ive ever not taken the wild wasteland perk
I think the skull wears a gamblers hat or something not an NCR one. I could be wrong though
Watching this video just before I don't get the perk lmao
Stripe killed me on my first playthrough of Old World Blues. I didn't know what killed me in a few hits until I looked down after reloading 😭
Thanks....That was great!
I just thought of something after the first dog encounter. King shark in suicide squad says that a lot. I wonder if he learned English through children's tv.
I believe the skull with the hat is an Indiana Jones reference and not a NCR ranger hat.
This was new concept to me, it was as the name suggested wild ! though sadly i did know little of the references but like Obsidian said, the jokes are there for those who understand and to those who don't, it won't look out of place still.
The only thing I disagree with is the way you said “The Notorious Big” it’s the Notorious B.I.G.
Great content tho!
the hat on the logo is not the ncr ranger hat its the indiana jones gambler hat you find because of the perk in the fridge
Stripe lmao, he's so cute, why deadly?
I always choose this and the Foir eyes perk to add further sight when wearing glasses...thats easy
theres only one other trait worth taking and its not as good as either of those so
It’s actually possible to kill the dogs playing poker. I did a no kill run of big mt and a securitron somehow made its way in the room on my second quest in the building. I’m unsure if it glitches in there or it’s intentional
I didn't do a new vegas playthrough without it
With the way things are, Wild Wasteland just seems to be their normal type of humor. So not taking it would be still as weird, but maybe, an idea for a mod perk? Take "Less Wild Wasteland" and it makes the wasteland more civilized and normal.
Um he forgot the planet of the apes (collapsed mojave outpost statues) reference at the lonesome road end credits
Good video👍
Thanks!
you're telling me I've played this game withouth knowing I had this trait...
It’s an homage to the wackiness of the first two games. Besides that, no Fallout gar has ever been completely serious. Even the TV show gets this mood near perfectly. I mean, the entire concept of retro-futurism is kind of goofy to start with
I genuinely thought the Maude gang was part of the canon stuff since i always pick that perk
I always thought the newt line was actually referred to being 'neutered.'
The only problem with WW is you lose the unique gauss rifle
Oh another thing the guy that voices the dreaded doctor Mobius also voices rusty venture
The wild wasteland perk is strange on the ps3 version with all DLC ..Just last few weeks ago in some random buildings - it would make the sound a the image in the corner but - nothing was actually there searching the Room + others close ... i think it was glitched lol
might have been some text on the wall
Also wild wasteland need to do that as I’ve never used it often so that’s going to change soon👍
you missed one, unless its not a wild wasteland thing. tumbleweed ranch. a nightkin will approach you and ask if you want to buy his cattle. you say yes, and he'll take every single cap you have. course you can kill him to get it back
That's not Wild Wasteland. He's always there and I never take ww.
@@richardcummings1167 i see. thought i saw a video of cut nv content where the encounter played out differently with ww
@@mobslayer9919 That's possible. I just always use him towards completing the "vault 13's revenge" challenge.
so apart from one weapon its just a wasted perk? 95% of the references went straight over my head😭
Great content, subbed. 👍
But um, that music what comes with the Pimpboy isn't "Disco".
It starts with P and ends with Or-No 🤣🤣🤣
some "boom chicka wah wah" music
@@mathiasdaniels7838 🤣🤣🤣👍
Somehow the Indiana reference feels so out of place for me. On my timeline F:NV is much older that Indy 4. I have a hard time processing it. Remember when I found that fridge back in 2015-ish. Hell that is almost 10 years ago. Time flies boys, do not postpone what you can do today to the future.
Epic video as always
Thanks what was your favorite encounter?
@@Iron_Agemine was the prostitute who didnt ask for money because i was young and good looking
Welp, time to spend a few days reinstalling and modding FNV I suppose. Nice video
Probably most new players born after 2000 will wonder what all the fuss is about😂
Fucking love this game so much
6:07 worms reference
Awesome video, I always take the perk as it makes for some funny moments, my only criticism is: I think the skull w/ the hat is-- like you showed in the first encounter, is just like a Fedora or Indiana Jones himself from the first encounter. Not sure but it def doesn't look like a Brown Round. Either way, good stuff and it prob took a good amount of time and effort making this video so fuckin thumbs up.
This doesn't ruin immersion, it's a nuclear waste land, and a hot desert
Domo aregato ,mr roboto.
The mauds killers are present without the perk
