References To Fallout 1 And Fallout 2 In Fallout New Vegas

I love that Michael Dorn (Worf from Star Trek) voices the super mutant Marcus in both Fallout 2 AND New Vegas, 12 years apart. Such a distinctive voice.

Bruce Isaac (the singer) also mentions that "Mr Bishop isn't like the other bosses, he likes to scour the wasteland". This is a reference to male players in FO2 being able to seduce, bang, and impregnate John Bishop's wife. If this happens, you'll get an ending slide explaining how the Bishop's had a son who was "nothing like his father and enjoyed wandering the wastes". This means that the Mr Bishop being referenced in New Vegas is actually the biological son of the Chosen One from FO2 and the great grandson of the original Vault Dweller from FO1

3:05 Killing the Deathclaw by shooting it in the eye is another reference. In Fallout 1 when you meet Harold you can ask him about the Deathclaws. He mentions that they can hypnotyze their victims by just looking at them, so he suggests shooting them in the eyes :)

Cesaer will also talk about Tandi, he has a lot of good things to say about her and her leadership, another fun detail is that Tandi is on the NCR $100 bill

Marcus is probably one of my favorite recurring characters in fallout sure he hasn't been seen since new Vegas but I still believe he's out there somewhere

Songs the lonesome drifter can sing in the Tops casino reference F1&2 as well - "Streets of New Reno" instead of Streets of Laredo, for example, or "Home on the Wastes" mentioning "the master's great armies".

To add on to the Wrecked Highwayman, the items in the trunk also callback to Fo2 as the car was powered with energy weapon ammunition you would always keep some in the trunk in case you ran out of fuel in the middle of the desert

Fun little theory: The crashed highwayman vehicle and the radscorpions close by led some to believe that No Bark Noonan, the crazy guy from Novac may actually be the Chosen One ( the protagonist from Fallout 2 ), given how apparently he went crazy after suffering multiple radscorpion stings to his skull. Basically, the theory goes that he crashed the Highwayman and while wounded from the crash, was attacked and stung by radscorpions, and was probably treated by Novac doctors. Also, the presence of That Gun in the shop.

You missed "That Gun", which can be bought at the Dinosaur in Novac. It's a .223 pistol referenced by players as "That Gun" in Fallout 1 and 2.

In the end of the Lonesome Road DLC, when you're finally confronting Ulysses face to face in his temple, one of the dialogue options will have him comparing you both. How while he walked the East, you walked the West in places such as Circle Junction, Reno, Vault City and Fort Aradesh (named after Aradesh, founder of Shady Sands and father of Tandi. Nowadays, the fort is known as Fort Abandon).

I love this. Often miss the feel and story of the originals, and seeing all the callbacks is truly cathartic. Old fallout fans need the love.

One easter egg from New Vegas is Chet, the owner and merchant of goodsprings general store. His name is a reference to the original debug tool from fallout 2 See instead of a normal item to debug with during the creation of the game, interplay devs simply had an npc they could spawn in that had the ability to change your characters reputations on the spot. He was referred to as a shady salesman. This npc was named chet! And when they made new vegas. They thought a great name for the very first vendor you meet in the game would be chet.

I don't hate the Bethesda Fallouts, but I definitely think they didn't understand Fallout. Their games feel like they take place in a different world than the one of Fallout 1/2/NV

If we choose "wild wasteland" and passes near a well on the way to New Vegas with Rex as a companion, an event linked to a Modoc mission in Fallout 2 will trigger (Jonny's disappearance).

The Mr. Bishop being referred to in Bruce Isaac's dialogue isn't John, but the Bishop Child that is born if the Chosen One sleeps with Angela.

Glad to see people still making fallout new Vegas videos

Sometimes the theme from Fallout 1 will play at times. The theme I’m talking about only mostly occurs while exploring.

given that you can get lily as a companion, i wish there were some kind of special dialogue exchange between lily and daisy about the vertibird

This video was released just in time to capitalize on the "New Vegas 2" rumors emitting from Microsoft after their acquisition of Zenimax. My hope is we get a "Fallout: New Reno", a non-direct sequel to the west coast storyline.

that vertibird detail is insane
