Fallout New Vegas is a must play for
anyone looking to explore the vast
unknown of the Mojave with that being
said here's seven things that you
probably didn't know about Fallout New
Vegas if you learn at least one thing
from this video please leave a thumbs up
also some of the points in this video
could have spoilers you have been warned
the Fallout series has always had fun
people voicing the vast array of amazing
characters in Fallout New Vegas the
tradition lives on with the pool of
talented voice actors for example Machat
a-star Danny Trejo as Raul Tejada mr.
Las Vegas himself Wayne Newton is
fittingly mr. new Vegas and Hellboy
actor Ron Perelman reprises his role as
the game's narrator you are a courier
hired by the Mojave Express to deliver a
package to the new Vegas Strip other
well-known actors include Dave Foley as
yes-man Felicia Day as Veronica Chris
Christopherson as chief Hanlon William
Sadler as Victor and everyone's favorite
friend Matthew Perry as Benny
Matthew actually got the role because
bethesda saw him give fallout 3 to Ellen
DeGeneres saying it was his all-time
favorite game speaking of which Benny is
a reference to Benjamin Bugsy Siegel and
American mobster often thought of as the
father of modern day Las Vegas the
similarities exist in the name and in
Bugsy's trademark suit which bears a
striking resemblance to pennies this
fact was confirmed when a fan inquired
about it to the project manager of the
game Josh Sawyer in which he simply
replied yes
a man of few words Fallout New Vegas has
a myriad of references to events outside
its own game a slave obeys is a gun
runner's arsenal challenge it's a
reference to the death of bioshock's
villain Andrew Ryan the challenge
requires you to kill mr. house with the
golf club which is also the way you'll
eventually kill Ryan in his respective
game the title of the challenge is a
phrase that Ryan repeats before you kill
him man chooses a slave obeys in
freeside some street signs are stamped
with tes or referencing another game
made by Bethesda called the Elder
Scrolls for Oblivion Fallout New Vegas
doesn't just reference other games it
also has a host of real-world cultural
references an NCR emergency radio
broadcast references Doctor Who and the
BBC the network that Doctor Who is
broadcasted on Bravo Bravo Charlie the
doctor is coming there's a refrigerator
containing a fedora and a skeleton this
is a reference to the scene in Indiana
Jones in the Kingdom of the Crystal
Skull where Indiana Jones saves himself
from an atomic blast by taking cover in
a lead-lined fridge the logo for the
atomic wrangler is a reference to dr.
Strangelove's famous scene in which
major TJ Kong rides a falling nuclear
bomb like a rodeo cowboy honestly folks
there's over a hundred individual
cultural references in this game and we
made this do an offshoot video depicting
all the references at a later date if
you'd like to see that please leave a

speaking of overwhelming content Fallout
New Vegas made it into the Guinness Book
of World Records by achieving the most
lines of dialogue in a single player
action role-playing game the game
contains around 65,000 lines of dialogue
beating its predecessor and previous
record-holder fallout 3 which contained
40,000 lines of dialogue most would
agree that when setting up your
character in a game like this you would
want to have plenty of intelligence but
just for funsies you should go back and
play it with little to no intelligence
the player can come up with some very
interesting and funny responses which in
turn most of the NPCs you come across
will treat you as if you're mentally
deficient for example in this instance
you try to gain access to an elevator by
yelling icecream thank you ma'am here's
one where you say need food fill belly I
can't tell whether you're joking or
radiation melted part of your brain guys
next time you play this game you've
really ought to try it out listening to
these characters roast you is just
freakin hilarious
you're one of them special folks ain't
you one of the most destructive weapons
in the game is the fat man a weapon that
fires a mini nuke and builds massive
damage usually ending in a one-shot kill
to nearby enemies although its name is
derived from the type of atomic bomb
that was detonated over Nagasaki in 1945
the weapon itself is actually based on
the m3 88 aka the Davy Crockett
developed in the 1950s it's one of the
smallest mobile short-range nuclear
weapons ever built the effects of the
weapons include high temperature
blistering heat a post stopping blast
wave and huge amounts of instantly
lethal radiation that would make an area
uninhabitable for at least 48 hours but
since the warheads range was only about
two miles the person firing the nuke
could be well inside the kill zone just
like in fallout thanks for watching we
