- Fallout: New Vegas: The Worst Courier comes to an end (kind of), as we take a high-risk approach to the Omertas and the Brotherhood, put our faith in our friends, and prepare for a slightly bizarre final showdown...

Useless steve at the big battle: "don't worry guys, i've got a plan."
*proceeds to remove high-tech power armor, revealing silk underwear, and then getting high off his arse*
@@DrakeAurum it's just lucky that Lanius really got down with that groove. He must have been under a lot of stress.
Heroes take many forms...
... some are less palatable than others
I'm just glad it didn't involve a Radscorpion
Don't forget also being drunk as a skunk on moonshine...
And that is the plot summary of my Useless Steve x Lanius fanfiction
After winning the battle of Hoover Dam, Useless Steve falls over, bonks his head and forgets everything again, and his first thought is to mess with a crashed sattalite.
That's probably what hit him in the head!
At first I thought this was my comment then realized its just someone else with the same profile pic lol
Perfect.
Ain't That A Kick In The Head?
I hope you dont mind? But i had to go root'n around in your noggin to pull out the bits of lead.. why don't you look and see if i left anything outta place.
Big Sal was killed by Useless Steve, making him tonight's Biggest Loser
On one playthrough I set off the self destruct at the bunker I wanted to keep Veronica as a companion, so I put on a disguise, but I had only one disguise on me, a Legion disguise, but not just any Legion disguise, so as far as the Brotherhood knew, Caesar himself rose from the grave to personally destroy them.
This is beautiful
Hail Caesar
If you do her questline first, and tell her to leave the brotherhood, you can do it and keep her, since at that point she's no longer part of the brotherhood. Least that's what happened to me.
@@raygatana1886 I did have her leave, but I read she'd hate me anyway, so I didn't want to leave it to chance.
I used a Brotherhood disguise. The named NPCs were still hostile, but for some reason the generic dudes stayed neutral, even as I killed their leaders and set the self destruct. They just let me walk out of the bunker.
If I were General Oliver, I'd be questioning my sanity as I relied on a guy wearing leopard print pyjamas and a pimp hat for my essential victory over the Legion.
But on the other hand, if a man just chased off the Legate despite wearing pyjamas and a pimp hat, you probably want to show that man some respect, just in case...
“Could use a hundred of you. Scatter you like jacks across the east.” -the NcR general in Mojave to the most worthless person on the planet
@@LucyWest370 Given the chaos Useless Steve has caused in the Mohave I'd say the General has the right idea.
Brian McGloughlin Just throw random chance cards out there and see what happens
@@ManyATrueNerd General Oliver: How'd did your confrontation with the Legate go?
Useless Steve: Oh, you know, slipped into something comfortable, had drinks, and well, lets just say, asked to see Lanius's gladius, if you know what I mean.
General Oliver: You know what, I'm sorry I asked.
How can you claim Useless Steve's victory when he betrayed his oldest and greatest ally at the end of their journey? I stand with Easy Pete's Hat!
JLuk how can you claim useless Steve is worst courier when he rushes through with easy perks and he’s not useless at all anymore. In fact he uses knowledge of the future to win. That’s the problem. Useless Steve isn’t played useless. Useless Steve knows exactly what to do. He’s the most non useless character in the universe. He knows the future and how not to be useless.
@@anomystic Don't think too hard about it. It's just dumb luck
@@anomystic
The point of the run was never to play a useless character.. you were mistaken. It was to *START* with a useless character, and show how someone can make the game work for them..
"Final form" of Useless Steve looks like what self-isolation has done to me.
Useless Steve didn't talk down the Legate: Lanius saw the ventilating mask and decided that social distancing was his priority.
I never knew that about Rotface. That's... brilliant. It really is. Kind of sweet too - the poor bastard has nothing else in the world and yet he goes off to buy a hat to make himself feel better.
@Conn Benn Damn!
Conn Benn Also cut content, you can see a Npc run up and shoot Rotface in his well..rotted head. Then wear the hat.
@Conn Benn It depends on how you treat him IIRC. If you were mean to him, he tries to mug you. If you were nice to him, he gets shot and killed by some freeside thug.
To think, none of this would have been possible without the help of His Highness King Rory the Radscorpion of Radscorpionsprings.
And in winning the second battle of Hoover Dam, Useless Steve proved that he is in fact NOT useless... He does however have the charisma of a damp rag.
@@freakymoejoe2 And drunk, and having just consumed a magazine.
@@AgentofChaos315 knowing Useless Steve he probably ATE the magazine instead of reading it.
Jon: "I've snuck in one of the most powerful weapons you can, so killing him will be easy."
Me: "You've also snuck in 6 grenades which can be reverse pick-pocketted, so I think it should be even easier than you think."
Killing Big Sal Is Easier than You Think
"The world's most useless man"
Except he's been paired with Fallout New Vegas's most brilliant strategist.
Rex is a very good dog.
My headcanon is that Benny's bullet messed his mental stability up so hard that his former, extremely clever personality split off into multiple facets, one of which now talks to him, instructing him how to pull some of the more ridiculous shit off. I mean, everything that Useless Steve does... seems useless and dumb, but has a purpose.
Ain't so useless no more...
In this episode we talk to Liam O'brien, Liam O'brien, Liam O'brien and Liam O'brien while stealing from Liam O'brien, and killing Liam O'brien several times in the process. Once you hear this guys voice, he is literally everywhere. He is the real life Gary of the Fallout universe.
This whole Mafia side-quest is basically a gang where half of the gang is voiced by Liam O'Brien, and I fully approve.
Yeah I didn't realize just how much of Fallout New Vegas is voiced by ol' Liam 😂
My favourite line in any of these challenge runs: "'But Jon!' I hear you cry..."
"Steve, this is simple, even you can understand it: you point the satellite designater at a point you want to hit and the orbital weapon does the work for you!"
Steve: breaks it
Jon: don't cross my line of fire
NCR trooper: Oh cRoSs uR LiNe oF FiRe oKiE
I love the idea of Useless Steve rocking up in his party outfit, blitzed on moonshine and uppers, throwing his arm around the Legate and drunkenly explaining complex geopolitics, thus convincing the Legate of his immense wisdom.
55:39
Yeah, I bet that Rad Scorpion is making a killing
Business is booming in Goodstings!
He was recently elected mayor of the town after the last one tragically died in an unrellated wildlife incident. He maried and settled down in what used to be Easy Pete's home.
I mean you aren't actually killing Rey, you're killing Rex. Rey just gets a new body.
And thus, Useless Steve partied so hard that he forgot everything he used to "save" the world, and woke up in a DLC with nothing but the hat on his head. (Please keep the hat. It's just not Useless Steve without Easy Pete's hat.)
Fun fact, the guy that voices Big Sal plays Moe Greene on "The Godfather". Well, not that fun but interesting.
*interested ha ha sounds*
I guess the Corleone family didn't buy him out after all.
The brilliant Alex Rocco. He was also the head of Itchy and Scratchy Studios, Roger Meyers Jr.
@@aguycalled80 That's actually very cool to know. I've only watched it in latin spanish so i would never have guessed.
That's actually amazingly meta.
Most people wouldn't even notice that but they shelled out the big bucks just for it.
Musta made em an offer he couldn't refuse.
Sleepytyme with its silencer and 220 DPS is still the most powerful holdout weapon (as the enemies in the casinos don't have much in the way of damage threshold)
It's also the only holdout weapon that works for the "Nyah! See?" challenge, making it even more ideal to bring in if killing members of the Three Families is planned.
What about the Fat Mine?

... and so the day was saved by the Mojave's greatest hero: *a pimp hat stolen from a ghoul hobo*
Imagine preparing for war for years, then having a dude with pimp clothing and a fancy hat, high af on drugs, drunk on moonshine, and holding a magazine, walk up to you and somehow convince you to not do it. Hmmmm
"That Steve. He may be stupid, by by all the gods, he's pretty."
7:03 - "four week notice" [cries in American]
Sidenote: I do like that even after completing How Little We Know, you get good karma for smoking Cachino
in America they can fire you immediately but require you give them 2 weeks notice if you're quitting.
@MrGhosta5 Wait what, really? You have to be joking, right?
@@exantiuse497 It's not illegal to quit without notice but it's frowned upon and, barring extreme circumstances, will eliminate any chance you have of getting a recommendation from the place you quit. Two weeks is the standard notice to give.
But I've never heard of an employer giving notice before firing an employee (though occasionally downsizing can be preceded by rumors).
@@TheJoePilato So you can just be fired at any moment without warning and there's no penalty for the employwr? That's messed up.
MrGhosta5 it’s not required to give a 2 weeks notice
16:14 You can get a stealth boy even easier and earlier than Repconn, if you kill Joe Cobb in good-springs he always has a stealth boy
Actually, if you press abort selfdestruct, the head scribe added a note to add it soon, so they can't turn it off. Though them not leaving is pretty weird.
“Could use charisma implant” *uses weird booze instead* well played Jon
I actually never actively thought about just how bad Cachino is aswell; it always seemed overshadowed by the other bosses and their ludicrous plan, so made me feel like I was doing the right thing by putting him in power. But yep, Gomorrah truly lives up to it's name. Besides Benny (who seems to be outcasted quickly by the others in charge), The Tops is kind of the only decent casino on The Strip.
Always bothers me that by talking down Lanius you’re basically guaranteeing the continued existence of the legion to the east, led by a monster. But out of NCR sight, out of NCR mind, right?
True, but the legion will inevitably fall without Caesar’s leadership, since Lanius really doesn’t give a shit about the Legion and only lives for battle
@@alfiemitchell3026
that’s true as well yeah. Never thought about that. Even then, it’s the uncertainty of what the legion will do that concerns me
@@alfiemitchell3026 Old comment but I don’t think so, Lanius is more intelligent than the myths say. Graham doesn’t even know Lanius so you can’t just listen to him, Ulysses is probably blinded by myth like The NCR and Legion. Lucius basically tells a different account of Lanius (Lanius was a legionnaire at 12)… how could someone that young ambush legion patrols like Caesar says? Lanius comes off as not a military idiot who doesn’t understand supply and military tactics, and his retreat confirms he cares more about the Legion than Caesar says he does when he’s reinforcing his mythical status. Why would he be able to be convinced that a legion occupation of the Mojave would destroy the legion just like how it’s destroying the NCR if he was just a “savage general who only cares about Caesar?” Why would Caesar set him as a successor if he would the lead the Legion to ruins? I think Caesar made myths about Lanius only to have the NCR underestimate Lanius as an aggressive idiot who doesn’t understand smart military tactics. Lanius would do fine, he already understands how hard the conquest of the east was. Lanius almost lost because of the lack of supply, I don’t think he would allow that to happen again with the NCR.
I've never seen that prison end card before. Would be interested to hear the Rex "generic dog brain" ending too.
38:50 that was the best synchronized reloading I've ever seen. And yes i'm watching this in 2023 because its still one of the best fallout series on CZcams.
Old lady Gibson is such a creep.
and she has the bigboomer shotgun. lol
38:49
synchronized anti materiel rifle reload
me and the bois about to snipe some melee noobs
Walking the Divide as naked, lvl 1 useless Steve sounds damn near impossible.
Do it.
I love how you keep on saying “But Jon!”
This seems like a good game.
Fallout new Vegas, is good
@@adamhartman3799 Fallout new Vegas is indeed, good.
@@untitled6087 Fallout: New Vegas is truly, good.
Fallout new vegas is... Gööd
Fallout: New Vegas is Good
36:55 Amazingly, Jon's zero Perception actually saved him here
Try the worst Son/Daughter in Fallout 3!
Yes please
Almost 3 PM on my birthday, alone in my bedroom, watching a guy role play as a moron named Useless Steve.
What even is my life?,
Edit: Thank you all VERY much!! It really means a lot to me!
same, happy birthday
Haaaaaappy BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HaaaaaPPY BIRTHDAAAAAAY TO YOOOOOOUUU!!!
The best kind of life. Happy birthday
Blessed - & happy B day bro
Happy Birthday
23:17 "We didn't need to do that, by the way, Rex without a new brain would have been just fine."
Actually Rex 'shuts down' forever in the ending if you don't fix his brain, so you probably do need to do that.
You could've first done quest where Joana escapes from Gommorah with the guy from Casino 21 motel; and then let Cachino take over.
Not without passing the medicine check that gates the quest...
@@CassidyCope yes, yes you can
Cachino would just move to a different gal
Cachino wouldn't have like....stopped.
@@ManyATrueNerd You can get the quest from her lover, Carliots, in the Vault 21 motel. There's only speech checks if you start it that way.
I did a level 1 run of OWB once. The beginning is rocky but you gain so much EXP you’re gonna be like level 20 by the time you leave
you're gonna do the dlcs, right? I miss Useless Steve already. I'm still hoping for new vegas kill everything revamped... love you Jon ❤️
Can I just say; I am astounded by the level of detail Obsidian put into this game. So many little things that make this world seem almost real. And they did it all in EIGHTEEN MONTHS! Eighteen!!! I can’t fathom it.
I remember one of my early games of New Vegas. I was doing a Legion run. So, I sneak into the Dam wearing NCR armor, sneak in, manage, barely, to assassinate him and get back out. I head back to the Legion camp....and then get killed the minute I get there because I forgot to take off the NCR armor.
Pimp-ass Steve: "I'm about to ruin this legate's whole career."
53:41 - Could I just comment on how absolutely beautiful the epilogue music is?
I think it's Inon Zur's best piece since Party Camp in Dragon Age: Origins.
I laughed at "We can never visit the 188 again." MATN is afraid of Veronica's wrath. Guilt can be a powerful thing. Also, yeah. Poor Rey. I never buy Rey's brain because it's just cruel to do that.
Elite NCR Rangers: "We won't go into the Legate's camp with you, Useless Steve, it's a suicide mission!"
Cannibal Johnson, an angsty 70-year old man: "YOLO!"
The NCR reloading their anti-material rifles in sync is art.
The worst courier in the Big MT. Guess that's a lobotomite run.
Fantastic finale and a beginning of yet another fantastic series! :) also - great to know that Jon knows all the ins and outs of the game :)
Ten years of professional playing and Jon is still discovering new things about FNV. :)
This has been quite the experience, specially the unexpected stuff like the rad scorpion or papa khan's little walk.
Excellent work, "Useless Steve". Twas a very enjoyable playthrough.
The most powerful weapon you can sneak into the casino is the fat man mine. Yes, you can make a mine with a mini nuke, using mad bomber, and you can take that into a casino. A LITERAL NUCLEAR EXPLOSIVE.....yeah being an explosive character is pure chaos and I love it xD
Oh dear god, his brain conversations are going to be amazing...
49:05 Best lines ever.
The sound of 3 antimaterial rifles being reloaded in unison is tge reason you side with the NCR.
Nah... that's usually how I get my NCR Veteran Ranger armor. Sure, it's slightly bloody, but it only cost me a few energy cells.
Steve saves the world. He truly is a role model & symbol of our times in that outfit & with that intelligence. 👍
Thank you for another wonderful New Vegas series. Once again, I've learned of fascinating things in this game. Your wide knowledge and showcasing is very enjoyable.
I’ve had a very bad day today, but seeing this video pop up on my feed today really made me happy. Thanks Jon!
I watched the whole series and i loved every episode this was very well done big thumbs up 👍
The Enclave helping the NCR is the biggest 180 in the history of Fallout. They're the original enemies in the series lol
Your best NV series in a while Jon, can't wait to see more! Keep up the good work !
This has been, by far, the most bizarre F:NV playthrough I have ever seen. Thank you again for all the good times.
56:22 Boy, a lot of these endings do not seem to paint the NCR in a good light.
That was one of the most entertaining playthroughs of any game I've ever watched. Like many others here, I've lost count of the number of times I've played through FO:NV, but I was amazed at not just the amount of rarely-seen content you were able to get into this series, but also the incredible story you were able to tell that was hilarious and amazing in the most wacky, Fallout-esque of ways. This series is art. Bravo Jon, well done!
Just want to say, your content has been especially great over this lockdown period. Thanks for all the laughs!
Hey! Hey Jon!

You forgot you're shovel mate.
oh man i'm so excited for old world blues, my fave DLC for any game to date, the only one i can think of that i even like that's close to it is the shivering isles from oblivion.
I live old world blues too
Thoroughly enjoyed this series and the adventures of Useless Steve. Looking forward to more!
In your own words Jon, your absolutely cocking mad!
Another brilliant video from an amazing channel keep up the good work Jon!
“The Worst Courier” has ironically become your best series in my eyes. It shows the deep knowledge of this often-quirky game to accomplish a challenge that would seem impossible to most players. Good job, Jon
Hell no, 1hp or J Sawyer were far better
well you did it jon you finaly found something in new vegas i had never seen before. the whole rotface/eulogy jones hat thing.
Jon! There's T-51b in the game that's not tied to the brotherhood! However you'd have to kill like a million deathclaws.
If you're thinking about the cliffs with all the deathclaws, that spot also gives you the only set of enclave power armor
the unmarked deathclaw promontory on the eastern bank of the Colorado river. I can't remember if jon has ever shown it on the channel.
MrGhosta5 i think he has but i don't remember what series in
38:49 look at how all three sync up
Amazing as always
Useless "doesn't get criticals" Steve in the final battle...
"Excuse flipping me, I'm *busy!* "
*Crits, legion man explodes and evaporates instantaneously*
Sad to see series end I love your new Vegas playthroughs
Love this series, thanks!
Finally had all the time to watch one full videoo
Charisma 1 Speech 100. Fallout New Vegas in a nutshell
I'm so exited about next Sunday , i truly love them fallout series and old world blues was the best!
The Sunday MATN Fallout series is the highlight of my week! Maybe a Fallout the Worst Lone Wanderer in future please
Dammit Jon it's 5:30 am. good thing I just quit my current job and took a break. Love this series bud
Super excited for the dlc vids
OLD WORLD BLUES! YES! i am literally so excited for next week!!!
Useless Steve made a dog happy and therefore can't possibly be totally useless because that was his real main quest the whole time.
Well I'm very much looking forward to next week that should be amazing.
I like this series because it shows so much parts of New Vegas you usualy don't see. So it's entertaining AND educational!
There is so much shit I am now learning about new Vegas with every video you make
After this you should do a useful steve playthrough where you start with 10 in all special stats and 100 in every skill
Bravo Jon, thanks!
When you went for the moonshine, I was 100% convinced you'd purchase Dixon Whiskey.
I'm certain it stacks with other alcohols.
I only say that because I KNOW for certain that his jet stacks with jet and ultra-jet, so I assume...
Stupid little fact, but a good one for optimization runs.
ALSO:
I never knew Rotface's hat was Eulogy Jones' hat.
