"I've killed every NPC"
Now, Jon, you missed a couple DLCs worth of NPCs in your NV Kill Everything! Still hoping and waiting for NV Kill Everything remake.
You can also do it without talking to NPCs at all (he did quests first?), like your character is a murderer that can't speak, sadly you can't really play that way in dlc, still was a nice run when I did it myself.
to be fair, old world blues is technically impossible due to the rules of the run dictating that you dont leave an area without killing everyone in it and, due to the pacification field, meaning the big brains cant be killed
@@Pigmedog they can be killed at the end of the DLC
JiiKoo
I don’t get how you made the same comment I did an hour later and got twice as many upvotes.
Honesty hearts would be difficult too bc he’d kill follows chalk immediately then that would trigger exile from Zion and then that’d be pretty much it
Jon: we are going to be needing to steal anything not nailed down
Me: so your normal play style? lol

He may have just died in a blaze and he didnt even notice he killed him
I know right? Imagine the post game descriptions telling about the death of great Khans and the destruction of the Legion and so on. But then one last entry goes "only one person remains alive - the elusive, the legendary doctor Kemp".
" i don't like his groin pump."
so we're not getting a groin pump challenge?
There are millions of those challenges over at pornhub

Jon, this has been bothering me for years. You always buy a shovel, but there's a full condition shovel right next to one of the wells at goodspring source.
For once I have an excuse - in this run, I can't trigger the Source location
@@ManyATrueNerd Fair, I'll forgive you this time!
Wait what? I've played nearly 1000 games of NV and never knew that.
Many A True Nerd you should do a plsythrough of hearts of iron 4. its a ww2 startegy game made by paradox
@@ManyATrueNerd I wonder if you did this in fallout 3 would you get a similar result
Jon seemed convinced that NCR would shoot him on sight and Legion would spawn assassins when NCR reputation was neutral and Legion reputation was non-existent.
After you go far enough down non legion questlines like yesmam the legion starts to send the deathsquads anyway since they know your working against them. The NCR will just not like you, unless your aligned legion.
@@TheBrandonGame that’s true but doesn’t siding with somebody besides the legion also absolutely tank your reputation with them?
If you never saw that Doctor before, then you didn't kill everything in that playthrough 😱.
Oh my god
SolidGoldCEO he said he didn’t game end everything, just everything he came across
When the camp becomes hostile all npcs attack so odds are that he did kill him and just didn't take the time to read his name :)
@@camreez1012 yeah I thought as much, just had this funny image of that guy getting up from his computer, and realising everyone else was dead.
@@SolidGoldCEO It sounds like the start of one of those thriller movies about one person finding everyone else dead. Except in those movies, you're led to believe it's a plague, alien invasion, or act of God... not one guy going around killing literally everyone.
I can think of one way of reducing the amount of XP you get: sympathetic explosion.
If I remember correctly, an explosive going off due to a nearby explosion doesn't count as you killing them as long as it's the second explosion that finishes them off.
So your extremely Looney Tunes attempted kill on a Deathclaw might be useful at the very end (or in cases where the death of someone would be useful)
That would let you get the final cut-scene at 3312 xp at lvl 6, but it would be even more of a pain in the ass to kill him that way.
@@christianroper4172 Luring Lanius into a giant pile of dynamite might be easier than fisting him to death
I imagine getting a sufficiently large number of explosives without gaining at least some XP might not be possible, although on very easy that might actually not be much.
juuso puroila it depends on if he could buy them from the limited shops he has, and he picks up quite a few frag grenades that should work the same way
He theoretically could get enough dynamite, by buying chet's stock, waiting, buying it again, do that a bunch more times and thats a buncha dynamite
How did I know he was going to forget to put his armor back on.
Because it's a Many A True Nerd tradition at this point? That's my excuse...
Watching a super drugged crazy woman trying to uppercut Lenius while he slides away in fear, MAY be the funniest imagery that this channel has created.
This is a playthrough of a man that has played a game so many times it has basically become his second life
Fallout: Halflife?
All these years later, and I still wait for the return of _Evil Jon,_ in some way or another.
In the outer world's?
Fin outer wild kill everything would be amazing fun for his second playthrough

You forgot to mention you also once beat the game with one health bar. Guess it ain't that big of a deal.
Also that he did it in survival mode without eating,drinking or sleeping
@@hoomanben8455 That was an interesting run.
He wouldve done it with near 100hp left it he did one thing a little bit later
mitten squad beat both 3 and nv with 1 hp (console command)

What an excellent way to end off my Birthday. I'll never grow tired of New Vegas.
Kmg24 happy birthday my dude!!
Happy Birthday :)
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday kmg!
@Kyle Vernon ah same for me. I ate 9 moths and it was valentine's day
"I've never built a character like this" That's a thing I have really been enjoying in these games lately. I have always built a smart speech craft character in the past, so I decided my most recent run to make a hard core boxer. Basically nothing but unarmed weapons and no armor (but armored clothings are ok, I was a little liberal on this basically allowing stuff like Khan leathers and the duster) It was just such a wildly different experience not being able to talk your way out of a lot of things and having a bunch of lesser known speech checks for things come up. Hell I ran into missions I've never done before cause I had managed to talk myself around them before.
It only took 4 years but Jon finally used the skilled leaving goodsprings glitch after denouncing it's use in don't starve. Truly this is the speed run sequel we deserved.
Man, it takes a lot of experience to make these challenge runs!
Lol
Clever 👍
Can you imagine what that interaction must have been like for the BOS? A woman walks into their bunker, steals their key, walks back out, and starts shooting.
Over an hour of new MATN New Vegas content on a Sunday night? Yes please!
now that you found a new npc, a remastered kill everything run is in order.
Could you do a video with the most obscure/interesting ways you can fail quests? After your GRA video I have an itch for this kinda thing.
That's a really interesting idea
GRA?
@@codsworth3996 Gun Runners Arsenal. He's referring to a video of MATN doing challenges added by that dlc.
@@nessesaryschoolthing Why do I not know about that video. Wtf me.
I like Jon's NV videos so much because rewatching him talk about an explain a game he knows so much about is utterly fascinating. Then he plays the game in unorthodox ways that make him learn more odd tidbits. Good job, Jon. I appreciate your work.
I never picked up on how snarky Yes Man can be. I always did all of the optional objectives when I did the Yes Man route, and I guess I happened to have not killed the robot army in that playthrough. Jon's challenge runs are the only reason I've even heard the dialog lol, good stuff as always.
I love how Jon tries to Disarm a power fist wielding Legion soldier. Jon, it's called Unarmed combat for a reason. 🤣
This would be a lot easier if Obsidian actually put in the ending where you ignore the Mojave, and just head back to the NCR through the outpost. I think one of the developers thought it up as a joke, but they didn't do it.
Never heard of it, but sounds really interesting! Where did you learn that?
@@evil-toaster8522 An interview somewhere. I can't remember, sorry. I don't think they ever actually seriously considered it though.
@@user-hi4sm3ig5j Sounds hilarious a literal fuck this shit I"m out.
reminds me of farcry 4's secret ending- politely waiting for pagin min to return like a good dinner guest
@@NewPaulActs17 Or like Far Cry 5's, where you just leave the church without arresting their leader.
Jon, I've always wondered why you don't use items to set off traps- like dropping a pool cue on the ground and 'holding' it and pushing it into bear traps... Like a minesweeper.
TabooBumblebee Wait, you can do that?
@@ChlorideCull at least with bear traps you can... It's how I've always cleared out that one room at the Repconn Test Site and then throughout the Dead Money DLC.
I can't remember if it works on trip-wires or anything else.
Holy shit I never realised
I live for Jon playing Fallout NV runs. Love these vids!
Also had no clue after my thousands of hours in this game that the Khans had a secret armory o.O
As a fellow New Vegas junkie, I found this thoroughly entertaining. About what you said at the end with the speech check to fight Lanius one on one, you'd need Good Karma for that. As far as I'm aware, there are no ways to gain karma without also gaining xp, since you need to finish quests certain ways or kill fiends/ghouls without them attacking you to have positive karma. So I'm pretty sure you're almost exactly at the xp floor Jon :)
You know, it's incredibly entertaining to listen to Jon talk about speedrunning tricks and such.
Since I'm only watching your The Outer Worlds playthrough episodes after I have completed the same parts of the game for myself I can't find words for my appreciation of your New Vegas content to enjoy inbetween. God bless you, Jon!
Everytime I watch, I learn something new, I didn't know skilled can stack twice.
what is that, an extra 100+ skill points?
@@NewPaulActs17 Even more if you do the psych evaluation in the Sink I'd imagine.
It's plus 65 each time (13 skills x 5xp). 130 leaving Goodsprings, 195 after the Sink. 15 xp per skill is awesome. I think I've done that every run since finding out. It's just too good
@@xanedilbridges5455 sounds more like a spiffing brit move, sounds op af
technically it can stack three times, you can add it again during the Old World Blues dlc
John, your New Vegas videos are my absolute favorite videos in the world. I never get board of them and I've rewatched the John Sawyer playthrough entirely 7 times now.
You missed the chance to say "i have a single single shotgun"
And the gun is unmarried, so it's also single.
self-partnered shotgun*
I love the way yes man was voiced, literally so perfect
If you want another challenge or atleast different way to play, try going for the worst possible endings for all factions you can without straight up killing half the factions, see how bad you can make the Mojave
Jon is slowly becoming the Ceave of Fallout :P next Can you complete new vegas while crouched, going backwards, only jumping no walking and without collecting any caps! :P
I love all your fallout videos, but the new vegas ones are always my favourite and despite how old kill and no kill are I've re-watched them at least ten times each. Thank you for all these videos (every video you make is exceptional).
I don't think I'll ever tire of these FNV challenge runs. Serious kudos to you and Mitten Squad for doing all the things I'd never have the combined patience and know-how to do myself in this amazing game.
I've never done this kind of run, but I used to experiment with finding the fastest way to Vegas so I could get to the clinic and get an implant at the lowest level.
It involved looting Goodsprings, heading north to loot Chance's grave for the unique combat knife, then doing a non-stop run north past cazadors and fire geckos, hanging a right through fiend territory to get to NCR territory, taking the monorail inside and selling the snowglobes to finance the first implant.
The leveled lists in Nelis have lower-level requirements, Combat armor is the "worst" armor on that list.
"Nellis" I was stationed there in the real world. Just needed to smooth out my OCD about the spelling of my 2nd home.
@@tucker7976 um, i hate to tell you, but new vegas doesnt exist in the real world. its just a game bro
@@yourehereforthatarentyou Bro what.
Mix Turbo's effect with the Rushing Water campfire recipe item (1 jet, 1 pure water, w/50 survival = +50% atk speed) and anything becomes possible
John definitely needs to do a no kill/kill everything run on the Outer Worlds. It's a perfect fit for it.
I've been playing a lot of Fallout 4 recently and I have to say that one of the greatest improvements they made were the sneak brackets that told you how far you were away from an enemy. The static ''Hidden'' just seems a bit primitive now tbh.
22:13 So does that mean you didn't kill everyone in your last run?
Even more reasons to redo it.
He only killed everyone he came across not literally everyone, although when this camp becomes hostile everyone attacks so he probably did kill that doctor without realizing hes never seen him before
The comments are begging for evil jon to return jon, hear us jon!!
7:01 have any Yorkshire gold with that very cheesy exploit?
56:37 Wuh-Bam
man john you have been killing it with the fallout videos lately. keep it up!
40:14 You can dodge the fast travel location at nellis air force base. If you stay near the left side of the road you can trigger the guards without triggering the fast travel location.
I just never get tired of these runs. You do you Jon!
Love these challenge runs of new vegas! Great work my good man
I would like to see a "Kill Only Muggy" playthrough.
Fallout NV and CK2 back on the channel, loving it.
Is low XP anarchy ending a form of Anarcho-Primitivism?
Kinda? Kinda not?
More just standard anarchism
This really did have the optimized challenge run feel of a speedrun, very entertaining. Your Fallout work remains your very best over the whole channel.
The combat armor in the barracks isn't scaled to level, it's always there. You didn't break the game. Even if you show up at level 50 it will still be basic combat armor
Ah yes, Caesar's top Legate, Lah-Nay-Us.
I find it ironic that only a super experienced New Vegas player such as Jon can actually complete a minimal XP challenge run.
Kinda how in real life only highly competent people can make it look effortless
Jon! I've been subbed for a few years now, and I love your content. NV is a welcome sight back on the channel.
The end slides say goodsprings prospers, while at the same time the powder gangers are terrorising the area. We know goodsprings are a prime target for the powder gangers and without the player's help they will have a tough time defending themselves. So it doesn't really make sense for both of those to be true.
Also, how can they be terrorizing there if the BoS is patrolling the I-15.
I bet you could kill the Legion folks with dynamite on the ground like you did to the Deathclaws in your Gun Runner's Arsenal Challenges video to avoid the XP gained. And anyone else that you might need killed as well. Maybe you could spec in stealth and grab a few stealth boys, pop them once you're in The Fort, drop all the dynamite, then kite all the guys right on top of them.
You might be able to get lower XP on the NCR path. The quests produce more XP, but you're able to completely avoid confronting Benny, so you might end up ahead overall.
I didn't know how badly I wanted to see you doing this run.
the whole time i was thinking "why didnt he put any points into melee?"
Jon and New Vegas go together like tea and biscuits
Never clicked on a video this quickly i fucking love new vegas
Never thought I’d see this game again and I couldn’t be happier
I missed your playthroughs of NV. Thank you Jon
I always pick skilled you still max your level well before the end and it gives you a bunch of points so worth it.
This is quite an achievement! Well done Jon.
Since I see the similarities to a speedrun, I kinda want to see this as a category with a time penalty per experience. The room for optimization is there.
Typically with "lowest " runs it's classed by fastest run of the lowest , followed by the remaining ones in order, then the fastest run of the second lowest , etc etc
This is to optimize the variable first and the speed second, as opposed to "well, as long as I can be faster it's alright"
Wonder if you could get out of some kill xp by blowing lanius up with a dropped mini nuke or dynamite. I don't think the game gave Jon the xp for the first deathclaw he blew up that way in the GRA challenge video.
i guess you are the god of New Negas runs
MATN + Fallout: New Vegas = Me happy.
Thanks Jon.
god i love fallout new vegas, your videos are absolutely wonderful
It’s interesting that you’re doing this playthrough and said that you’ll be avoiding all skill checks. I’ve been doing something similar in the Outer Worlds and I know what you mean by it being unorthodox
Skilled is one of my favourite traits tbh Always wanted to do a Logan's Loophole run, maybe soon xD
Loved this video, really cool idea! Also, well done for making the Lanius fight interesting, that was a good take on what's usually a quite boring final boss fight
Dude, this the best challenge yet. Don’t know how you could possibly top it.
Funny seeing the slides for factions / people you've never met (i.e. The Kings).
32:05 you can tell by his enthusiasm that those charlies were REALLY nice...
I don’t know if you will see this, but it might be possible to complete New Vegas with less Xp by doing the NCR ending. Unlike every other ending the NCR does not require you to interact with Benny at all. Just go into the lucky 38 and talk to House to get the courier to spawn. After that, you can fail things go boom, King’s gambit, and You’ll know it when it happens without getting off the NCR ending. Completing the game with 3 quests completed. There are a couple extra skill checks by doing this path, for example the 75 science terminal to kill house. But overall it should be less xp. Also, like some other people have mentioned you can kill legate lanius with lots of dropped dynamite, potentially reducing the amount of xp needed even further.
I love how you decided to make the hardest bit *harder* because you were disappointed it was that easy.
Love these one off videos.
I like that you are doing more new Vegas
New Vegas Challenge Run! I'm so happy
After 35:00 I now really want to see Jon try and do a proper speedrun of New Vegas using all the weird tricks they have like the reloading dash and broken leg speed boosts.
Definitely not his jam.
I love how, when you apply a rule to a run, you do so, literally. I probably would have taken a different route and used the Stealth Boy. So now I have to wonder. What is the lowest score and will this be a world record?
Oh the choas Jon sows. Love it. Keep the experiments coming.
Alternative title - Jo's Bizzare Adventure

as i am currently playing New Vegas so i wont be giving this a try anytime soon
but wow
particularly inspiring
once again Jon you have come up with a new and improved way to play the game
way to go
the worlds slowest speed run LOL
thank you for a fun one
I absolutely love these fallout Sundays
Jon you could have pickpocketed La Longue Carabine from stealing by pickpocketing his amo and then entering and exiting the terminal so he unequips his gun so you can pickpocket it.
With luck 10 you have almost %100 win chance in the casino. with a couple of reloads you should be able to win a couple thousand from jackpot on the slot machine, another 1500 from blackjack, and a couple thousand from roulette.
That was pretty awesome. I knew the doc was at McCarran since I explore every inch of each settlement. I hardly use melee or unarmed if ever.
I always like a MATN New Vegas vid. Love your work Jon :)
Your ending feels a bit more Fallout canon - war never changes...
Good stuff.
