Most video games don't have messages these are always reserved for more intellectual writings that you see in books and movies. Some will cope and pretend like New Vegas convey a hidden philosophical idea but you ask the developers themselves and they'll tell you it's just their Fallout table top campaign (Van Burren) turned into a real game and characters like Ulysses are just their self inserts.

"War never changes" is just an ongoing theme at this point to sell as many Fallout games as possible. It's not a message, it's a marketing solgan.

Old world problems in a new world. The end of the age of cowboys, one way or another, being atavistic or being progressive (Industrializing/nation building not socially progressive) both ends the age of frontiers and cowboys.

We're doomed to have civilization foist upon the whole world, but, it's not the end, for man can still change within civilization.

War Never Changes

Let Go of the Old in favor of the New (4 would ironically reverse this message)

The New Frontier

Return of Civilization, and choosing how you want to go about that
- Democracy (NCR)
- Autocracy (House)
- DIY (Independent)
- Antithesis and Synthesis (The Legion)
>>
>>738707067
All the followers quests are about how they are haunted by their past and that they need to let go of that to get peace.
It’s also the theme of a lot of factions like the Boomers, the BoS and the Khans were the best ending they can get is about moving on from the past to start anew
>>
>>738707287
I know for a fact with Arcade, Raul and Lily you can tell them that their past is important, that it meant something and that they should honor it. Cass can't reclaim her past, but she can avenge herself. Don't know about Boone since I never even bothered to entertain that edgy cuck and I just randomly murder him in half my runs

Boomers don't have a "move on" ending to my knowledge

>>738704765

Dead Money is such a kino DLC. My favorite by far.

>>738707558
Boone learns to forgive himself and to try and do right by others for so long as he's on the mortal coil instead of beating himself up.

Boomers shift towards opening up trade and having limited contact, now with their bomber, they feel more confident and like they've bided their time.

>>738707558
It is not as much ignoring the past as not being haunted by it for them. They are anchored by what happened and clinging to it tend to be the worst decision, best example of that would be Lily.
But even for Cass the vendetta option gets you the «worst ending» and for Arcade telling him to help the Remnants will make him a hunted man. For Raul, he can embrace his vaquero identity or settle, in both cases he makes peace with what happened.

For the Boomers, the leader also directly ask you to help them adapt to the changes in the Mojave

>The main game has nothing to do with it
The DLC beats you over the head with it in case you somehow missed it in the main game. Each of the major factions have some fixation on pre-war America and have a goal to either reclaim or recreate some part of it.
NCR and the Legion want Hoover Dam because it's a symbol of the old world (Caesar mostly can't let go of the fact that failed to claim it), House himself is a part of the past that refuses to die and only cares about restoring Vegas to its former glory, the BoS only cares about preserving old world tech and is dying because they refuse to change, etc.
The reason Lonesome Road is the last DLC is because it's about a new place that formed and developed without being tethered to the past, which is why Ulysses likened it to a new America and why the Courier was sent to destroy it.
>>
>>738708450
>Each of the major factions have some fixation on pre-war America and have a goal to either reclaim or recreate some part of it.
No shit, it's a Fallout game. The question is whether the point is about letting go or not and the main game is decidedly neutral about that . Hell, when it comes to the NCR, it's not so neutral, it's almost explicit that they shouldn't give up despite everything because their campaign is a question of survival for them
>>
>>738708638
>Hell, when it comes to the NCR, it's not so neutral, it's almost explicit that they shouldn't give up despite everything because their campaign is a question of survival for them
It’s not ? The game keeps telling you that the NCR is stretched so far and wide that they can’t control all that land effectively. Chief Hanlon sabotage the war effort because he thinks that they can’t hold the Mojave and that it’s better for the Republic in the long run to recenter on California

The message I got was that people will constantly cling to the ways of the old, often ignoring the mistakes made over and over that lead to destruction. The NCR is replicating the exact government that led into the apocalypse, Caesar's Legion is pulling often times the worst lessons of the society they emulate, House is literally a relic from before the war continuing to treat the world as his own to define, and, ironically, despite independent trying to find a new path, it's basically the Courier saying, "No, I'm better than all these people, I'm going to be the one that figures all this out!" Which failed in the past too.

You also see this in the DLC. Dead Money is about literally letting go of the past, whether its grudges, greed, or trying to find answers for questions that never had them to begin with. Honest Hearts is about remembering what's important, but not desperately clinging to past rage and hate. Old World Blues is focused on the scientists looking at their old lives, constantly thinking their experiments are the path forward, despite it just being habit at this point that leaves them lost in a cycle. And Lonesome Road is all about tying the tragedy of the past to some source, some person, and refusing to let that go despite the world having moved on.

It's also about finding a balance between the past and the future. You have to pick an ending, you can't avoid what happened in the past that led into the apocalypse. Each faction has major flaws no matter what. But you pick one that feels like it's taking the next steps forward, remembering what actually needs to be remembered, and hoping it doesn't all come to ruin again.

I dunno, that's what I got. Not sure if NV even has a core theme outside of "War never changes", but I felt there was a lot of focus on how the past haunts us, shapes us, but allows us to build something new at the same time.

Now that I think about it, it's pretty weird how an RPG with as many mechanical layers as FNV doesn't have a female hygiene system. Imagine needing to constantly be on the hunt for pads and tampon substitutes, lest your pants turn red and you attract predators while out in the desert.

>>738714895
Both are true.

Ffs, not this bullshit again
>war never changes
A statement about how no matter what changes, humans will always fight for the same dumb reasons
>war has changed
A statement about how the Patriots' AI systems have engineered war to a point it's become an artificial micromanaged ecosystem serving the interest and economy of the US - through the use of biochemical altering nanomachines, ID locked weapons, fourth-gen warfare via private military companies, etc. to secure planned outcomes - and equivalent to a kid playing with his action figures. It takes actual relics from before war was commercialised to take SOP down.

Fallout and MGS4 are making completely different observations at different points of view. One is remarking about how human nature remains the same across history, the other is remarking how that human nature is being being puppeteered by institutions to fundamentally change the nature of war. The very thing that makes Fallout say "war never changes" is gone in MGS4. They're not the same message, but they're not mutually exclusive.

>>
>>738725065
Mr. House ending where Hanlon becomes a senator, and you use the Barter option to negotiate with Oliver, is easily the best outcome for the NCR.
>Hanlon cleans house with anti corruption campaigns and getting warhawks out
>The power and water from the Vegas area is still sent to the NCR at fair rates
>Fair trade practices and regulations are enforced against the Brahmin barons allowing NCR to actually fight them instead of being held hostage
>NCR citizens are welcomed in the Vegas area allowing for mobility and trade, making the NCR wealthier and healthier and gives them the stepping stones to actually improve themselves
>House guarantees he only wants the Vegas area, and that the NCR is free to continue into Colorado, allowing for further expansion
>Stops the Legion and polices the Mojave so it's safe and no longer a continuous threat to the NCR which started the Mojave campaign in the first place
>>
>>738725065
I think that any ending that humbles the NCR is a good ending. It doesn't necessarily have to be House, but he would probably be the best middle ground to do it since Legion victory would be a clusterfuck for everyone and I don't see an Independent Vegas being as big as a threat as House to the NCR. In particular one where Hanlon goes back to the NCR and becomes the Mayor of Redding and starts getting into politics more to fight the corruption, and where Kimball, Oliver and their people get torn apart by the people after failing the mojave expansion. Not like it matters since Bethesda nuked the story out of existence, but it's nice to imagine.

>>
>>738725002
People become too over reliant on their gear and consumes rather than their perks and character skills. When I first played Dead Money back when it came out I despised it since it made things more stressful but I've come to appreciate it now in recent years. The game basically forcibly reverts you to the same state you were at the start of the game and things are actually dangerous again organically in a way that you never get again after you finish it. The difficulty is entirely reliant on your build and stuff like implants can greatly mitigate the hellish scenario so it's more of a knowledge check than anything. The speakers also filter people but outside of one in the vault that can be annoying to reach in time most are pretty reasonable to deal with.

Yeah, it's not a hard DLC at all, even on Very Hard. But the base game is even easier by comparison, and people were used to that, so any level of adversity, no matter how small, made them angry. You can go and find tons of threads on gamefaqs from 15 years ago complaining about the unfair difficulty of Dead Money.

I don't think that's true. He said that was the next Fallout game they wanted to make. Also. Bethesda doesn't have the source code for NV.

>>738730303
>I don't think that's true
It literally is, there were tons of things from Van Buren that were changed/reused in New Vegas or simply referenced like the Twin Mothers, Ciphers, and Colorado BoS
>>
>>738704765
The main story doesn't have one beyond "One guy can change the tide of an entire war".

The DLCs have a strong message of "Look, Bethesda makes these games now. Get over it loser."

They really hit you over the head with the direct, spoken to the player, message that you have to stop living in the past an accept that the world has changed. That's not a subtle message given the context that the game was released under.
>>
>>738730532
I don't think you understand. The events of VB did not happen yet in the NV timeline. Lonesome Road was designed with the idea of a Van Buren sequel.
That's why the locations are referenced. And why there is a nuclear reset option. Here is a better video on the subject.

>>738730875
Doubt. What he most likely meant was that he simply wanted to create potential for conflict/stories in a New Vegas 2 or follow up game, not necessarily "Van Buren". Technically New Vegas takes place after Van Buren since Black Isle had plans to make Fallout 4 about the second war between the NCR and Legion, which is what New Vegas is about. And then were tons of things in New Vegas that changed things from how they were meant to be in Van Buren. It's possible a New Vegas follow up would have been inspired by ideas from Van Buren but so was New Vegas.

>>
>>738731423
Well we could have gotten more info if Mantis wasn't an idiot.
There is no mention of the new plague wiping out Utah / Colorado in NV, which would be a pretty significant event. Hoover Dam was supposed to be a Mutant settlement, which could still be done with the mutants from Jacobstown and Black Mountain. They wouldn't be contained if the Mojave collapsed.
There is no mention of the railway system which was going to play a major role. Joshua Graham was introduced, and he even has burn marks in the VB concept. All you would need to do is have the Legion invade New Canaan and wipe out his tribe. It's easy to spin it around since it was never finished.

>>738732628
>There is no mention of the new plague wiping out Utah / Colorado in NV, which would be a pretty significant event.
Yes, because Van Buren isn't canon and likely wasn't seriously planned to be brought back, it's ideas were just reused. Theres also stuff like the twin mothers who were meant to play a decently significant role in Van Buren's main quest but in Lonesome Road the lore was changed and they were wiped out by The Legion. Again I think the most rational explanation is that a New Vegas follow up would have recycled ideas from Van Buren just like NV but it wouldn't really have been Van Buren.
>>
>>738733094
Well, Chris chose the words "Van Buren" in reference to NV2. The last DLC references VB. So what else would a NV sequel be? Sure it's up to interpretation, but there is more evidence to suggest it would be a VB reboot. But it's not happening so there you go.
>>
>>738734382
The entire game references stuff Van Buren, not just the last DLC. I just doubt it would have been "Van Buren" in the form we know because there was too much that was changed and reused in New Vegas for a Van Buren proper be to made, but something inspired heavily by Van Buren like New Vegas definitely could have been possible. But yes it is all just speculation and the information we have is pretty sparse.
>>
>>738707067
Because the Courier may as well be player in terms of story. The game is telling you to let go of your preconceptions of “America” and to accept what it has become, to let go of who you are in the outside and be someone different when you come inside. Ulysses just about shatters the fourth wall trying to hammer the courier over the head with it at the end of Lonesome Road, telling the player there will be no coexistence and to choose a definite path forward for America. No matter how many die or how destructive it is, he sees it as the ultimate way of advancing the Mojave out of conflict, an escape and an end to never ending war. It’s up to the player to come in an convince Ulysses that HE needs to let go, and to let humanity go forward and find a way for themselves that isn’t paved with hellfire.

The most important part of the Avellone interview was that he spoke directly against /v/'s accusations of him being against wasteland society advancing and that he was going to use the tunnellers to do that.

>I'm not against a post-post-apocalypse setting. I just think there's so many stories left to tell in the post-apocalypse that we need to take our time.
>I didn't want the NCR destroyed like the TV show did. I wanted them reset to a point that they couldn't realistically take over America within the next 20 years.
>I haven't seen a single person realize how the tunnellers would have been defeated. There's a reason we never see them in broad daylight.

Games don't have messages you dumb shit. Nothing has a "message". Things just exist. Retard.

>/v/'s accusations
Probably mostly Bethestards
>>
>>738737859
Bethestards are the neo-cons of Fallout fans, incapable of imagining the setting with BoS bases everywhere and always at the ready to go do neo-con shit across America. NV was right to murder the faction because 4 and the show have completely mangled the faction, sure it depicts them as stupid, but it never portrays them as the indirect lapdogs of the Enclave like they are.

I disagree, I've got a "message" right here for you anon

I don't really recall one. I suppose if there's one to take then it would be on a quest-by-quest basis, depending on the options you chose. This is what makes New Vegas an actual roleplaying game unlike Fallout 3 that forces you to play a certain character. The DLCs are a bit more focused, particularly Dead Money, but it helps that it was based on a famous beloved movie.

>>738704765
That depends on how (you) played. What did you learn OP?

>The DLCs have a strong message of "Look, Bethesda makes these games now. Get over it loser."
And look where that lead us.
This disdain for people who don't simply bend over to the "New World" and try to continue/revive the Old is why I've grown to dislike NV over the years. It's a defeatist mindset that's extremely harmful.
Fan games like Sonora that simply don't give a fuck and carry on like the Bethesda titles never happened are more worthy of respect IMO.

they are referencing Ulysses dialogue of how Tunnelers breed rampantly and can take down deathclaws and could take over the Mojave through sheer numbers

I haven't played LN in a long ass time but I do recall a line like that, can't find it though

>>738739838
Yeah, but at the same time, it’s also implied that the only way they are allowed in the light of the divide is because of the thick dust cloud covering it in sandstorms. They’re creatures with a lethal photophobic insensitivity, sure they could capsize Vegas one day. One day. That’s what it’s left as, it’s another reinforcement of everyone in the wastes having to live with the mistakes of the people before them and the bullshit that brings with it, it will be ultimate test of the wastes. It’s raised more as a question as to what the current power players could even do to stop them, the answer is absolutely fucking nothing, it’s another reason that Ulysses feels so strongly that he must force the wastes to “evolve” just like the Master before him, because he knows humanity is woefully underprepared for what comes 200-300 years from now, even if they do rebuild the world, it’s fucking mole people, dude.

>NCR
>Democracy
Corrupt yes.

Legion is just Slavery, it's the dictatorial aspects of Roman society which is awful if you care about the people if New Vegas they are essentially raiders but less degenerate. Raiders enslave, rape and kill any opposition.

Even the Great Khans are better than the Legion, its implied they start an empire of their own in the north around Wyoming or something after one of the endings

>During the Battle of Hoover Dam, the Great Khans quickly evacuated Red Rock Canyon and headed north and east into the plains of Wyoming. There, they reconnected with the Followers of the Apocalypse and rebuilt their strength. Bolstered by ancient knowledge of governance, economics, and transportation, they carved a mighty empire out of the ruins of the Northwest.

Complete opposite you retard. Dean is a psychotic sigma male who only cares about fame and fortune. The woman was an inanimate tool for him to use. Sinclair is the cuck, both literally and figuratively.

Dean couldnt stand that Sinclair didnt give up hope and become jaded and sociopathic like he had, and Vera chose Sinclair and hope in the end despite Dean thinking he had full control of her. He slipped and fell in the vault though and she overdosed waiting for him

Because Yes Man is a failsafe if you happen to slaughter every fucking human being in the Mojave Wasteland, since New Vegas lets you kill anyone freely, except for children unless you have the mod
That way you won't softlock yourself from finishing the game

Actually it was something they planned during development
You would just go to the Mojave Outpost and go to California to chill, credits roll
There’s a mod that recreates this ending and it’s pretty funny
You just ask Major Knight at Mojave Outpost and game ends lol
