The Morality of Survival: A Wasteland Odyssey

As I venture into the harsh world of Fallout 3, I am met with an unrelenting sense of survival. The landscape stretches out before me like a barren wasteland, devoid of hope and filled with danger at every turn. Yet, it is in this desolate environment that I discover my own resilience and determination to thrive.

I am the architect of my own destiny, crafting my existence from the very fabric of nature. I take the cannibalism perk, knowing full well the implications of consuming human flesh. But even in this bleak world, I find a way to savor the sweetness of life. I reserve stimpacks for curing ailments like broken limbs, ensuring that I can continue to push forward without being hindered by my own mortality.

As I navigate the post-apocalyptic landscape, I am met with an onslaught of gunfire and violence. The city is a cruel place, where even the most innocuous among us can be caught in the crossfire. I take cover behind makeshift barriers, using the resources available to me to protect myself from harm. It's a dirty game, but one that I must play if I hope to survive.

My quest for answers begins at Benny's Casino, a seedy establishment where information is currency and danger lurks around every corner. I approach the desk, my heart racing with anticipation, only to find that Benny himself is nowhere to be found. Instead, I am met with a surprise: his entire gang of thugs has been wiped out by yours truly.

I take on the persona of Benny, donning his signature checked suit and adopting his mannerisms. But as I delve deeper into the casino, I discover that my newfound identity comes with its own set of challenges. The patrons are wary of me, unsure if I am the genuine article or just a imposter. And yet, I press on, driven by a desire to uncover the truth behind Benny's plan.

According to his Yes Man, our mission is to infiltrate the enigmatic Lucky 38, a bastion of power and control in this new world order. There, we hope to find the mysterious Mr. House, the man who seeks to usurp power and leave his mark on this shattered world. But as I begin my journey, I realize that Benny's plan is not without its risks.

With each step forward, I am drawn deeper into the heart of the city. The streets are treacherous, filled with dangers both seen and unseen. And yet, I press on, driven by a sense of purpose and determination. For in this world of radiation and ruin, it is up to me to forge my own destiny.

As I navigate the complex web of intrigue and deception that surrounds Mr. House, I am forced to confront the harsh realities of survival. The city is a cruel place, where only the strongest survive. And yet, it is in this environment that I discover my own strength and resilience. I am a force to be reckoned with, driven by a fierce determination to survive and thrive.

The game is afoot, and I am ready to face whatever challenges come my way. The city may be unforgiving, but I will not be deterred. For in this world of Fallout 3, I have discovered that even the most desolate landscapes can hold beauty and wonder. And it is up to me to uncover it.

The sound of gunfire erupts around me as I make my way through Benny's hotel room. I take cover behind a nearby pillar, my heart racing with anticipation. The room is a flurry of activity, as the various factions vie for control. But I remain calm, focused on my mission to infiltrate Lucky 38 and uncover the secrets that lie within.

As I explore the city, I am struck by the sheer scale of destruction. Buildings lie in ruins, littered with debris and rubble. The air is thick with radiation, a constant reminder of the dangers that lurk around every corner. And yet, amidst this devastation, there are moments of beauty and wonder. A sunset over the wasteland, casting a golden glow over the desolate landscape.

I pause for a moment, taking in the sights and sounds of this new world. The city may be unforgiving, but it is also full of life. And I am determined to experience all that it has to offer. For in this world of Fallout 3, survival is not just about staying alive – it's about living.

As I continue my journey through the city, I come across a small oasis in the form of a public restroom. It may seem like an unlikely place to find sustenance, but I am willing to try anything at this point. I drink from the toilet, knowing that it is a safe source of water. The taste is bitter, but it quench my thirst and restore my energy.

I emerge from the restroom, feeling refreshed and revitalized. The city may be full of dangers, but I am ready to face them head-on. For in this world of Fallout 3, survival is not just about staying alive – it's about living life to the fullest.

The journey ahead will be fraught with danger, uncertainty, and hardship. But I am ready for whatever comes my way. For in this world of radiation and ruin, I have discovered that even the most desolate landscapes can hold beauty and wonder. And it is up to me to uncover it.

As I venture into the unknown, I am met with a sense of trepidation. The city may be unforgiving, but I will not be deterred. For in this world of Fallout 3, survival is not just about staying alive – it's about living life on my own terms.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enmy father was so shrouded in mystery that it took until I was an adult to actually know what he did for a job because every time I'd ask he would say if I told you I'd have to kill you you know which as a teenage kid was both funny and cool but perhaps quite alarmingly it took my brain until adulthood to realize that I could find out by simply asking my mom anyways it was around the time of early adulthood that I'd played Fallout New Vegas for the first and only time of my life until now and I remember doing a little tutorial where Sunny Smiles uh teaches you how to use a gun and pointing the the reticle directly at her head uh I accidentally left clicked popping ah head kind of like the Panadol I had to pop at the end of this challenge but at the time I was in awe that this game would allow you to do anything like that and it was the memory of my dad and that memory of Sunny Smiles that maybe come up with this challenge whereby if I interact with anyone I'd have to kill them call it a consequence of a bullet between the eyes there are no rules other than this one if a person interacts with us in any way shape or form be it in dialogue unsolicited combat a throwaway proximity related line of dialogue they hit me with because I'm wearing a chained prostitute outfit this will all spell death for the interact e which will result in some interesting interactions with Quest giving NPCs that I absolutely need to progress and I'll be avoiding as many people as possible lest the entire Town's population collectively kill me over and over again surely that doesn't happen right anyway we are taking on the role of The Courier a delivery man who has had his cargo stolen and was shot between the eyes losing all of his memories in the process so as I sit here creating the schloer the most spermula being I've ever come up with little do I know that I'm about to express deliver the largest shipment of destructive force in the history of New Vegas and the doctor who fished a bullet out of my skull and helped me to survive unfortunately will be UNS survived because he has interacted with me you see hey look I don't make the rules actually I do make the rules yeah also I must apologize the first couple minutes of this video has very choppy footage because uh this game is being held together by duct tape hopes and dreams and I had not yet installed the three to four mods required to make the game Run good strength the schl bler is jacked perception not C now just missing parts of the brain endurance yes charisma no intelligence removed agility lucky some something about a foot the dock continues to interact with me by means of some kind of aptitude test so that he can test what parts of the brain he has removed from a skull to get the bullet out I don't have nothing to compare it to so maybe what he's saying here is that he's never performed neurosurgery and he has accidentally created the perfect being I put all of our skills into guns and attacking because why persuade someone with Charisma when as soon as I'm done talking with them I'm compelled to attack them and Ender life I take the wild Wasteland trait because I'm cuz I'm quirky like that and I take the skill trait which is plus 5 Points to every skill with a trade-off being less experience gained because if this game is anything like the other Fallout games leveling up could work against Me by making all the enemies around me scale to be stronger or perhaps the game has linear scaling and I'm making a massive mistake but you know life is about making mistakes something something learning from them or whatever the good doctor sends us on our way and we have to best decide how to deal with them without the rest of the Town instantly turning on us due to them having actual eyes inside these walls I figure a grenade launcher will do the trick and and look it's the Sierra Imager a grand opening knew you was here unfortunately explosive ordinance does nothing to Old dark Mitchell so we have to try again now a spear should coun as stealth um so we'll go with that the Sierra mager grand opening the challenge is under way very good spermula even now I'm fully aware that we can beine it directly to Vegas where our shooter is by running North but I figure it would be an interesting experience to see what we can get away with in the quests immediately preceding that but mostly because I'm nostalgic for old Sunny Smiles here she takes us around the back to teach us how to shoot all the feelings all the memories they're all flooding back to me she's completely unjudged of the Scher but little does she know she is about to be absolutely schlob maxed one okay bad luck two all right okay the remainder of my brain might be pouring out of my head right now ah there we go very good absolutely positively sent back to schlob Ville I economy shipper back to easy Pete who does not acknowledge me at all he simply looks at me but it it feels like he's looking past me through me thusly he's not acknowledged me and he deserves to survive another successful delivery so I parkour on down to Prim where the silly NCR Trooper approaches me completely unsolicited I close dialogue enraged at the audacity of this man and I proceed to follow him for for a good little while as he he walks around aimlessly in seemingly random directions to throw me off I eventually settle on using my grenade launcher for this fell that's not a good idea so sad completely preventable if you think about it I used use a stupid amount of grenades clearing out the escaped convicts in the town of Prim and I've gone from looking like this to looking like this what a glow up new armor new me we're going places now and when I say we're going places I mean specifically to talk to the administrator of the Mojave Express in Prim I sure hope he helps me before I kill him I don't know what it was brought you to Prim unfortunately as soon as I walk in the door Johnson Nash immediately speaks to me sealing his fate now I hadn't known this at the time but Johnson Nash is actually the administrator I'm supposed to speak to so I accidentally immediately end dialogue and I stalk him thinking I'd have to strategically kill him without the uh the rest of the casino knowing about it how then old scotus here immediately addresses me and this is awful two Targets and a full Casino I did have this mle plan hatched where a shotgun blast her entire skull into the ceiling from behind this pillar but she just goes oh Lord or whatever and note her entire health bar is missing and then completely regenerates I cannot believe this has happened I try something else I clap her from behind going loud with my rifle but if you simply hide back here no one will care to check and you'll be in the clear so that's Ruby down and then I take a shot at Johnson Nash but it appears I've killed a nondescript Prim resident that's unfortunate anyway I level up my gun skill I managed to follow Johnson into the bank room of the building and get that out of the way unfortunately I don't do it quietly enough so one thing leads to another and the next thing you know I am Darth Vader hallway these people blowing up their robot and save for this one guy gets stuck in a chair I have massacred this entire town but in New Vegas no worries there's always another Avenue for progression and in this case we have to find the law man who's being held captive in the Bison Steve hotel nearby so I enter and what happens next would be the most heroic acts of resistance I have ever seen a pair of bandits in any Fallout game ever put forward you like that is this it is this the end perhaps perhaps if I keep shooting had enough I hope the boss deletes my browser history I will wear this man's motorcycle helmet in his honor I am now the schlob Dome of Bandit I fire a grenade into the final room dismantling the last bandit in the hotel unfortunately this also dismantles the prim law man I was supposed to get the information from but in New Vegas no worries there's always another Avenue for progression and in this case we have Deputy bugle audio journal and in the journal details our next Target location so what are they doing with that deer gentleman who wears a checked suit I wouldn't mind a suit like that a type of gentleman I wonder what he's doing here I like a suit though I wouldn't mind a suit like that the town of needs me here to Serve and Protect oh my I think I've been spotted I love his clothes I I'd really like to get in this checked suit I could use a suit like that oh my I've been spotted I hit the trail on down to Novak I encountered Danny masteron on the road just kidding this grotesque monstrosity is only a centaur on the way I passed through the town of nipton where this one guy bull rushes me I try to save him by escaping but he catches up pretty quick yeah who won the lottery I did yeah you won the lottery all right buddy I ignore nipom horrible place and continue up the road I get ambushed by some Raiders that scared the out of me get distracted by some goats that spawn on the hill then this traffic cone right here and blasted by a land mine I encounter some wandering Traders which is quite lucky for me because I was starting to get over encumbered while looting bodies and in desperate need of offloading gear and purchasing stim packs however this is unlucky for them because once I've traded with them the voices will tell me to kill them I dispatched the merchants by turning them into blood M and this whole ordal has put me in a very bad spot because I used the stim packs I purchased to survive and now have less Health than when I got here I put all my points into explosives all mushroom clouds have a silver lining I encounter an NCR Ranger Station I'm not finding stim packs but I do find these sick sunglasses and now I may uh continue my challenge stylish and desired by all I travel into the ranger station interior hoping May praying for stimpacks all I have to do is loot this place without this one man saying a single solitary word to me I found some first aid boxes but old mate keeps trying to trap me in I crouch over the tables and because this is a Bethesda game crouching renders me completely invisible and this NPC contemplates the mysteries of the final location they saw me in he walks into the solid object for a while a student of solid physical matter a Titan of Academia and I give him the slip he looks directly at me says nothing and I'm completely hidden the Enigma the ghost of the Mojave a human embodiment of a bag of milk precious supplies all stolen under this man's watchful eye mission accomplished I consume heaps of medicinal items and down an entire bottle of Scotch as we take to the roads once again we discover the town of Novak this is bad because this is a town and towns have lots of people and if we are spoken to here which we which we might do to continue the Quest then we potentially end up fighting the entire town i gaze upon the Godzilla I contemplate upon the Godzilla I have an outof body experience as a sober up from the entire bottle of Scotch I consumed down the road and I schlob around town desperately looking for more medicinal items I scr through no bark Shack I figure with all the empty bottles on the floor maybe there'll be some health restoring drinks somewhere no drinks I find a cool red hat though finally I can keep the mojave's harsh raay from nuking my grimy head sadly there are no restorative items anywhere what how' you get pass the guards seeing as his fate is sealed I decided to talk to him for all time sake please don't do no harm to me mister but it Dawns on me that I'll have to deal with him quickly enough before he makes a break for the front door and runs into town where they'll all probably help him however I have a strategy but the this is hopeless and nobody crying holy holy all over no I'm holy I survived but I've suffered massive bodily harm I can't contate the Godzilla one more time the game tells me to go into Manny vargas's room his presence jump scares me he scared the out of me he looks me directly in the eye and simply understands that he must not say anything to this primordial splooge that trespasses in his home sneaks around behind him and uses his personal computer which progresses the quest there is a moment of mutual understanding of poetry and motion in this moment we are connected communicating but not communicating he knows not to interact with me to survive and I know that for him to survive I must not be regarded and so I declare to you the audience that I'm not regarded I continue North up the road in the night drifting from one objective to the next everything has been moving so smoothly I'm starting to feel like this is going to be a breeze Helios 1 a factory turned military installation that may have some stim packs some medical supplies to stock up on I observe the risk I understand that if someone speaks to me this is the military I'm in big trouble and I accept the challenge a hidden back entrance and some basic lockpicking skills are all I need to get in I drift from room to room taking ammunition supplies sometimes I'd even walk into the barracks the common soldiery will notice me but not interact with me they simply understand that I am the haringer of the Doom if they do so I even sneak completely unauthorized through their reception Lobby they do not seem to care or is it that they fear me regardless another mass of success until I walk 100 m up the road and bandits start hucking sticks of dynamite at me stop throwing Dynamite at me like that no I don't like that as a matter of fact so now here at the bottom of the screen where it says lmbb which is Limba breathing ated by removing one letter it is telling me that my limbs have been destroyed by explosive ordinance and all those medical supplies I spent so long scratching for all used up on the outskirts of our next Target location are some red scorpions which aren't really a problem because we have 40 mil grenades we no longer have 40 mil grenades we are now in a place called Boulder City where our Trail gets cold so we have to investigate I just walk around until my head gets ripped 20 ft in front of me into Lieutenant Monroe's face he tells me about the great KHS hold up with a hostage situation and we just so happen to need to speak to some great great CS to find out where the guy in a checker shirt who shot me in the face and made me a monster is I I agree to help because I I I want to be a good person I I do but unfortunately for him this means that he has interacted with me completely hidden absolutely no consequence I contemplate the consequences that have not taken place now before I had Express delivered Lieutenant Monroe's skull bits into orbit like a good Courier he told me to try and Infiltrate The K's cam stealthily under the cover of Darkness of night neither of which I've done as you can see this instantly fails a mission and puts our h his lives at risk whoops on the upside the actual military Str up firing squads the great khn's outside carving a Passage through the hold up deeper into the great Khan's Camp I am presented with an opportunity to rescue the hostages I ignore the opportunity to rescue the hostages once inside I blast this guy called Jessup in the face several times because he's attacking me and he takes a moment to consider the consequences of his aggression then blows apart my arm with a point blank Blast from a sword of shotgun anyway I blast him in a chest and he flies backwards and in his inventory is a job offer aw perhaps if he had not attacked me he could have gone on to take a job or something and become a productive part of society I select The Usual Suspects to put our skill points into and I consider the next perks to be taken at level four there are some fantastic options like rapid reload confirmed bachela and so on I dwell on cannibal I I dwell on it because I've been running so low on restoratives for so long but then what must we become to succeed animals now get Justice the good oldfashioned way I immediately level up a second time from this Quest explosives guns I put on jessup's unique headband which is absorbed into my enormous Cranium schlob bled by my brain my entire head I managed to make my way out of Boulder City without interacting with the NCR troops without causing a blood bath very good I leave the area and I'm bum rushed by Dingus over here who stepped over Lieutenant Monroe's corpse didn't question it and then addressed me I don't know he's talking about some stupid b collectible thing I I I hope it was worth it Malcolm our journey North across the desert leads us to the outskirts of Vegas to freeside where our Target Benny is supposed to be I've been dreading this part of the journey because one slip up in Vegas one interaction and it's potentially all over for who interacts with me but but also because you know murderers frowned upon I skull through the ruins of the old world on the outskirts of New Vegas occasionally pointing my gun to the ceiling for I look up to the sky ceiling thing because that is philosophically opposed to looking down which or the your typicals out there will tell you is negative body language and we are a very positive Delivery Man a thug tries to mug me no problem I am Fearless uh but some kids are barreling down the streets towards me and I'm fearful of them because interacting with them would be game over considering they're Invincible in these games I watch one of them go through to freeside where I two must go and I make the ballsy move of following him instead of waiting for him to reemerge oh God stupid kid now this is a populated part of town very not good we'll have to travel between people so as to avoid all contact lest we Massacre absolutely everyone here fortunately for me there is so much space that going by what we've experienced so far there is absolutely no way it will end up being regarded want to get lucky head on down to the atomic Wrangler turns out we are regarded I'd forgotten that this individual is a crier and they'll interact with me from very far away I consider going about disposing of the crier from stealth so as to avoid the ey of the rest of the town and come to the silver rush for all your energy weapon needs this goes horribly I now have to handle two of them you know I had sat here and maybe considered that they hadn't interacted with us and it was maybe just they were talking broadly to everyone but but you know that that wouldn't be very sporting of us would it it wouldn't be very cash money and doing this as it would turn out is our greatest challenge to date as you can see stealth real estate is hard to come by and for some reason I'm completely visible to the entire world from behind this bus stop I like to think that it is the light of the moon in the night sky reflecting off my milky white Dome blasting the entire suburb in a bright light of course with my little peach fuzz mustache projecting an enormous bat symbol likee shape on the underside of the Vegas cloud coverage I decide to see how bad it would get if I do this out in the open atom Wrangler the answer is quite not good which is kind of funny right because there was this one time I watch these guys fire blindly at a stationary surrendered Target for a sustained period of time and they couldn't do anything had enough I was shaking in my boots had enough I had indeed had enough from around the corner invisible walls around the Street Lamp I lure Bandits to the cries but he just continues to adverti to them as he kills them come to the silver rush for all your energy weapon needs the game is mocking me I throw a stick of dynamite and hide around the corner behind the bus stop watch out I am spotted through solid objects I try again this time in third person damn he wanders around for a time and then I'm hidden success although he hadn't died and the lady had run away and then he starts to mock me stop by the silver rush and we'll give you the means I try again come he tells me to come as he is blown apart and the camera clips through the wall unfortunately this one blip behind this entire building slowly approaching spots me somehow what I realize things are going against me but this has been the best strategy that I've come up with so far so it's time for to shape up and keep trying Hey bro lasers Plasma Pistol he's still talking I'm going to have nightmares about this guy for the rest of my life I'm going to need therapy who saw me there's no one here this guy this guy just sees me through walls so I'm thinking I'm probably going to have to deal with this guy before I can actually deal with anyone else I think he's the guy who earlier just looked at me through a building I'm sorry is he omnipotent or something does he exist on a higher plane you know surely he doesn't think this is suspicious what no no no please please please found I'm not I'm not even sure why I thought that would work okay so I've extensively searched the area um and I know that definitely no one can see me so if I just throw this grenade um and then back up I I should I should be in the clear had enough who it says I'm detected who's looking at me the back of his head what do you think you're doing can you see me now can you see me now okay so I've extensively searched the area and I'm pretty sure there's no one around that can see me and if I if I place this Barrel in front of me throw the grenade and then back back up into the building behind the barrel there's there's no way there's there's there's no way and that my friends is when your buddy best gu snapped I decided that I no longer cared I was fully prepared to wear the consequences of all my actions everyone who attacked me I decided had interacted with me and it was this interaction that had doomed them all you got I even entered the king's HQ as far as I was concerned they already hated me and I needed to vent it was my not very nice man Arch I was John Wick if John Wick head was like a globe and if John Wick were terrible and if John Wick hated dogs but it all went well in the long run I loot this golf club and as I was leaving I noticed this one guy standing here facing a wall hey hey look we all deal with trauma in our own unique ways you know what I mean morning having cleared the entire suburb I equip my new found Loot and continue on deeper into Vegas you look new to freeside so here's a little advice he has sealed his fate come on fortunately the robots guarding the Vegas entrance don't seem to care about old B so I'll take it now to get through the gate in Vegas proper you need a passport or 2,000 caps I'm 99% sure I won't be doing any Quests for any passports because anyone who hands me a quest will end up painted on the surfaces behind them so I travel to good Springs where I know there's a vender where I can sell things to get 2,000 caps unfortunately he doesn't have enough to make a 2,000 caps but as his tradition I complete the transaction as required I drink from this toilet to top up my HP because I am out of stim packs again the next Defender I know of is a Novak inside Godzilla's ass famously guarded by either Boon or Manny Vargas I sell just enough to get me over 2,000 caps and I complete the transaction by schling his head all over the place he should have just not interacted with me what's his issue now small problem you can't just run past the robo guards into Vegas because the door is locked and you have to actually interact with them to pay them to 2,000 caps to unlock it this is a problem because when I send them the small grenade it has no delivery address on it so they return it to Sender in spectacular fashion I am a bad Courier I simply hide around this corner and blast them with all my grenades Go full auto suffer Grievous bodily wounds and get air stried and win anyway now it was only upon looting these Bots that I realized I didn't need to get the 2,000 caps to pay them at all they all have the Vagas key on the person and I'd received terrible information from the internet even though I was assured the Internet only had true information on it next up is the middle of town as you can see it's very busy and all we have to do is avoid contact with any NPC we come across had it partner okay this is terrible but perhaps not the worst thing in the world I know for a fact I'm not going to be able to do this from stealth because the entire game's roster is in my immediate vicinity so I do as I have done before and hope to the good Lord Todd that he shall deliver me unto Victory turns out Todd cannot deliver me onto Victory no post on Sundays after all so I take matters into my own hands take out the first securitron and make some space between myself and I think the other four or so on the strip I use the cover of some street signs and robotic corpses to confuse our mechanical friends and level up guns as for perks I see cannibal again and I consider it after all my body is crippled my health is low and I'm almost constantly low on Sims but I instead look to Rapid reload because I'll never allow myself to become as the Wasteland would have me a soulless husk devoid of dignity starved of my own Humanity never shall I allow this game this simulation to betray my moral code for what are we but vessels conduits by which we must allow the human soul to travel through to show one another and also ourselves that we are capable of more even in the face of overwhelming odds and in the harshest Wasteland we find a way to thrive our spirit unyielding We Are The Architects of our destiny sowing Beauty from The Weave of Nature and yet capable of such destruction and so as we stand at the precipice of the unknown we smile for we know that no matter what comes we will endure we are Humanity resilient and undeterred forever pushing the boundaries of possibility uh so anyway I take the cannibalism perk now hear me out I figure I could eat the Flesh of the people and Reserve stim backs for actually curing ailments like broken limbs so I can get back to doing things in the game without like my vision blurring from my projectile related brain injuries all right no worries this part of the strip is cleared but next is the new Vega strip over here we are immediately hammered with gunfire I have to say take cover behind some post boxes and as a courier this makes me sick but if I have to use the post office's resources to make my life easier then I will so be it the objective here is simply to not get schlob all over the pavement and now I am hated good I calmly shuffle my way around the NPC so that I can get to the tops Casino where Benny is without being interacted with sadly in this busy Lobby numnuts over here interact with me resulting in a delivery of lead and goods direct from dispatch can one gu be I I look upon the damage I have dispensed a massive amount of schoby the likes of which the city has never seen before I then go about restoring my health in lobby before adventuring deeper I am such a happy resourceful guy the juer position of the fleshy squatching against the spicy Casino themes rarely amalgamates into de's nuts and perhaps most amusing to me is how there are heaps of people here gambling just in the distance watching me eat corpses but you know it is what it is a man's got a hunt for dinner you know what I mean and I find him Benny that's a nice checked suit I wouldn't mind a suit like that this is it this is is the guy I'm going to talk to him and he shall regard me for I have deleted his entire py of gangsters and I'm going to give him a piece of my mind specifically the piece of my mind that he shot out of my head that one time and return it to Sender well I guess it's my brain so I reverse return it to Sender hey but he doesn't even talk to me he is just he was just hard of hearing and didn't notice the 200 or so rounds that I had to fire to execute everyone he knows and loves how anti-climatic for All Times Sake I double check some details to make sure I have the right guy by playing the audio from that Prim Deputy I accidentally obliterated with a grenade launcher oh my I think I've been spotted oh my I think I've been spotted now I am the daa gentleman in a check suit I clear the remainder of the hotel mostly for Loot and no one interacts with me in Benny's hotel room I find his pajamas and now I am wearing the pajamas instead of his checked suit sadly I walk into a room out back and get absolutely put to bed without a lullabi but at least the outfit matches the occasion I return with proper rment level up guns I restore my health by drinking from this toilet which is a safe source of water no radiation I explore the hotel and meet up with yes man he tells us that it is Benny's plan to infiltrate the Lucky 38 home to a mysterious figure called Mr House who runs the city and all the securitrons and then uploads some Mega virus Y2K something something to usurp him and take control of the city himself this is Handy for us because now I am Benny and I'm going to have the city for myself sad s l because yes man spoke to me I must Now kill him perhaps he shouldn't have spoken to me like what's the big idea a huge thank you to the patrons without you I too would have been sched a long time ago and it was with your continued support that I'm able to go full send as a corer so for that I thank you for the rest of you please like subscribe and share with some friends and most importantly be safe out there the second episode of this will be uploaded in the next uh week or so and I'll continue the challenge but until then I love you ohmy father was so shrouded in mystery that it took until I was an adult to actually know what he did for a job because every time I'd ask he would say if I told you I'd have to kill you you know which as a teenage kid was both funny and cool but perhaps quite alarmingly it took my brain until adulthood to realize that I could find out by simply asking my mom anyways it was around the time of early adulthood that I'd played Fallout New Vegas for the first and only time of my life until now and I remember doing a little tutorial where Sunny Smiles uh teaches you how to use a gun and pointing the the reticle directly at her head uh I accidentally left clicked popping ah head kind of like the Panadol I had to pop at the end of this challenge but at the time I was in awe that this game would allow you to do anything like that and it was the memory of my dad and that memory of Sunny Smiles that maybe come up with this challenge whereby if I interact with anyone I'd have to kill them call it a consequence of a bullet between the eyes there are no rules other than this one if a person interacts with us in any way shape or form be it in dialogue unsolicited combat a throwaway proximity related line of dialogue they hit me with because I'm wearing a chained prostitute outfit this will all spell death for the interact e which will result in some interesting interactions with Quest giving NPCs that I absolutely need to progress and I'll be avoiding as many people as possible lest the entire Town's population collectively kill me over and over again surely that doesn't happen right anyway we are taking on the role of The Courier a delivery man who has had his cargo stolen and was shot between the eyes losing all of his memories in the process so as I sit here creating the schloer the most spermula being I've ever come up with little do I know that I'm about to express deliver the largest shipment of destructive force in the history of New Vegas and the doctor who fished a bullet out of my skull and helped me to survive unfortunately will be UNS survived because he has interacted with me you see hey look I don't make the rules actually I do make the rules yeah also I must apologize the first couple minutes of this video has very choppy footage because uh this game is being held together by duct tape hopes and dreams and I had not yet installed the three to four mods required to make the game Run good strength the schl bler is jacked perception not C now just missing parts of the brain endurance yes charisma no intelligence removed agility lucky some something about a foot the dock continues to interact with me by means of some kind of aptitude test so that he can test what parts of the brain he has removed from a skull to get the bullet out I don't have nothing to compare it to so maybe what he's saying here is that he's never performed neurosurgery and he has accidentally created the perfect being I put all of our skills into guns and attacking because why persuade someone with Charisma when as soon as I'm done talking with them I'm compelled to attack them and Ender life I take the wild Wasteland trait because I'm cuz I'm quirky like that and I take the skill trait which is plus 5 Points to every skill with a trade-off being less experience gained because if this game is anything like the other Fallout games leveling up could work against Me by making all the enemies around me scale to be stronger or perhaps the game has linear scaling and I'm making a massive mistake but you know life is about making mistakes something something learning from them or whatever the good doctor sends us on our way and we have to best decide how to deal with them without the rest of the Town instantly turning on us due to them having actual eyes inside these walls I figure a grenade launcher will do the trick and and look it's the Sierra Imager a grand opening knew you was here unfortunately explosive ordinance does nothing to Old dark Mitchell so we have to try again now a spear should coun as stealth um so we'll go with that the Sierra mager grand opening the challenge is under way very good spermula even now I'm fully aware that we can beine it directly to Vegas where our shooter is by running North but I figure it would be an interesting experience to see what we can get away with in the quests immediately preceding that but mostly because I'm nostalgic for old Sunny Smiles here she takes us around the back to teach us how to shoot all the feelings all the memories they're all flooding back to me she's completely unjudged of the Scher but little does she know she is about to be absolutely schlob maxed one okay bad luck two all right okay the remainder of my brain might be pouring out of my head right now ah there we go very good absolutely positively sent back to schlob Ville I economy shipper back to easy Pete who does not acknowledge me at all he simply looks at me but it it feels like he's looking past me through me thusly he's not acknowledged me and he deserves to survive another successful delivery so I parkour on down to Prim where the silly NCR Trooper approaches me completely unsolicited I close dialogue enraged at the audacity of this man and I proceed to follow him for for a good little while as he he walks around aimlessly in seemingly random directions to throw me off I eventually settle on using my grenade launcher for this fell that's not a good idea so sad completely preventable if you think about it I used use a stupid amount of grenades clearing out the escaped convicts in the town of Prim and I've gone from looking like this to looking like this what a glow up new armor new me we're going places now and when I say we're going places I mean specifically to talk to the administrator of the Mojave Express in Prim I sure hope he helps me before I kill him I don't know what it was brought you to Prim unfortunately as soon as I walk in the door Johnson Nash immediately speaks to me sealing his fate now I hadn't known this at the time but Johnson Nash is actually the administrator I'm supposed to speak to so I accidentally immediately end dialogue and I stalk him thinking I'd have to strategically kill him without the uh the rest of the casino knowing about it how then old scotus here immediately addresses me and this is awful two Targets and a full Casino I did have this mle plan hatched where a shotgun blast her entire skull into the ceiling from behind this pillar but she just goes oh Lord or whatever and note her entire health bar is missing and then completely regenerates I cannot believe this has happened I try something else I clap her from behind going loud with my rifle but if you simply hide back here no one will care to check and you'll be in the clear so that's Ruby down and then I take a shot at Johnson Nash but it appears I've killed a nondescript Prim resident that's unfortunate anyway I level up my gun skill I managed to follow Johnson into the bank room of the building and get that out of the way unfortunately I don't do it quietly enough so one thing leads to another and the next thing you know I am Darth Vader hallway these people blowing up their robot and save for this one guy gets stuck in a chair I have massacred this entire town but in New Vegas no worries there's always another Avenue for progression and in this case we have to find the law man who's being held captive in the Bison Steve hotel nearby so I enter and what happens next would be the most heroic acts of resistance I have ever seen a pair of bandits in any Fallout game ever put forward you like that is this it is this the end perhaps perhaps if I keep shooting had enough I hope the boss deletes my browser history I will wear this man's motorcycle helmet in his honor I am now the schlob Dome of Bandit I fire a grenade into the final room dismantling the last bandit in the hotel unfortunately this also dismantles the prim law man I was supposed to get the information from but in New Vegas no worries there's always another Avenue for progression and in this case we have Deputy bugle audio journal and in the journal details our next Target location so what are they doing with that deer gentleman who wears a checked suit I wouldn't mind a suit like that a type of gentleman I wonder what he's doing here I like a suit though I wouldn't mind a suit like that the town of needs me here to Serve and Protect oh my I think I've been spotted I love his clothes I I'd really like to get in this checked suit I could use a suit like that oh my I've been spotted I hit the trail on down to Novak I encountered Danny masteron on the road just kidding this grotesque monstrosity is only a centaur on the way I passed through the town of nipton where this one guy bull rushes me I try to save him by escaping but he catches up pretty quick yeah who won the lottery I did yeah you won the lottery all right buddy I ignore nipom horrible place and continue up the road I get ambushed by some Raiders that scared the out of me get distracted by some goats that spawn on the hill then this traffic cone right here and blasted by a land mine I encounter some wandering Traders which is quite lucky for me because I was starting to get over encumbered while looting bodies and in desperate need of offloading gear and purchasing stim packs however this is unlucky for them because once I've traded with them the voices will tell me to kill them I dispatched the merchants by turning them into blood M and this whole ordal has put me in a very bad spot because I used the stim packs I purchased to survive and now have less Health than when I got here I put all my points into explosives all mushroom clouds have a silver lining I encounter an NCR Ranger Station I'm not finding stim packs but I do find these sick sunglasses and now I may uh continue my challenge stylish and desired by all I travel into the ranger station interior hoping May praying for stimpacks all I have to do is loot this place without this one man saying a single solitary word to me I found some first aid boxes but old mate keeps trying to trap me in I crouch over the tables and because this is a Bethesda game crouching renders me completely invisible and this NPC contemplates the mysteries of the final location they saw me in he walks into the solid object for a while a student of solid physical matter a Titan of Academia and I give him the slip he looks directly at me says nothing and I'm completely hidden the Enigma the ghost of the Mojave a human embodiment of a bag of milk precious supplies all stolen under this man's watchful eye mission accomplished I consume heaps of medicinal items and down an entire bottle of Scotch as we take to the roads once again we discover the town of Novak this is bad because this is a town and towns have lots of people and if we are spoken to here which we which we might do to continue the Quest then we potentially end up fighting the entire town i gaze upon the Godzilla I contemplate upon the Godzilla I have an outof body experience as a sober up from the entire bottle of Scotch I consumed down the road and I schlob around town desperately looking for more medicinal items I scr through no bark Shack I figure with all the empty bottles on the floor maybe there'll be some health restoring drinks somewhere no drinks I find a cool red hat though finally I can keep the mojave's harsh raay from nuking my grimy head sadly there are no restorative items anywhere what how' you get pass the guards seeing as his fate is sealed I decided to talk to him for all time sake please don't do no harm to me mister but it Dawns on me that I'll have to deal with him quickly enough before he makes a break for the front door and runs into town where they'll all probably help him however I have a strategy but the this is hopeless and nobody crying holy holy all over no I'm holy I survived but I've suffered massive bodily harm I can't contate the Godzilla one more time the game tells me to go into Manny vargas's room his presence jump scares me he scared the out of me he looks me directly in the eye and simply understands that he must not say anything to this primordial splooge that trespasses in his home sneaks around behind him and uses his personal computer which progresses the quest there is a moment of mutual understanding of poetry and motion in this moment we are connected communicating but not communicating he knows not to interact with me to survive and I know that for him to survive I must not be regarded and so I declare to you the audience that I'm not regarded I continue North up the road in the night drifting from one objective to the next everything has been moving so smoothly I'm starting to feel like this is going to be a breeze Helios 1 a factory turned military installation that may have some stim packs some medical supplies to stock up on I observe the risk I understand that if someone speaks to me this is the military I'm in big trouble and I accept the challenge a hidden back entrance and some basic lockpicking skills are all I need to get in I drift from room to room taking ammunition supplies sometimes I'd even walk into the barracks the common soldiery will notice me but not interact with me they simply understand that I am the haringer of the Doom if they do so I even sneak completely unauthorized through their reception Lobby they do not seem to care or is it that they fear me regardless another mass of success until I walk 100 m up the road and bandits start hucking sticks of dynamite at me stop throwing Dynamite at me like that no I don't like that as a matter of fact so now here at the bottom of the screen where it says lmbb which is Limba breathing ated by removing one letter it is telling me that my limbs have been destroyed by explosive ordinance and all those medical supplies I spent so long scratching for all used up on the outskirts of our next Target location are some red scorpions which aren't really a problem because we have 40 mil grenades we no longer have 40 mil grenades we are now in a place called Boulder City where our Trail gets cold so we have to investigate I just walk around until my head gets ripped 20 ft in front of me into Lieutenant Monroe's face he tells me about the great KHS hold up with a hostage situation and we just so happen to need to speak to some great great CS to find out where the guy in a checker shirt who shot me in the face and made me a monster is I I agree to help because I I I want to be a good person I I do but unfortunately for him this means that he has interacted with me completely hidden absolutely no consequence I contemplate the consequences that have not taken place now before I had Express delivered Lieutenant Monroe's skull bits into orbit like a good Courier he told me to try and Infiltrate The K's cam stealthily under the cover of Darkness of night neither of which I've done as you can see this instantly fails a mission and puts our h his lives at risk whoops on the upside the actual military Str up firing squads the great khn's outside carving a Passage through the hold up deeper into the great Khan's Camp I am presented with an opportunity to rescue the hostages I ignore the opportunity to rescue the hostages once inside I blast this guy called Jessup in the face several times because he's attacking me and he takes a moment to consider the consequences of his aggression then blows apart my arm with a point blank Blast from a sword of shotgun anyway I blast him in a chest and he flies backwards and in his inventory is a job offer aw perhaps if he had not attacked me he could have gone on to take a job or something and become a productive part of society I select The Usual Suspects to put our skill points into and I consider the next perks to be taken at level four there are some fantastic options like rapid reload confirmed bachela and so on I dwell on cannibal I I dwell on it because I've been running so low on restoratives for so long but then what must we become to succeed animals now get Justice the good oldfashioned way I immediately level up a second time from this Quest explosives guns I put on jessup's unique headband which is absorbed into my enormous Cranium schlob bled by my brain my entire head I managed to make my way out of Boulder City without interacting with the NCR troops without causing a blood bath very good I leave the area and I'm bum rushed by Dingus over here who stepped over Lieutenant Monroe's corpse didn't question it and then addressed me I don't know he's talking about some stupid b collectible thing I I I hope it was worth it Malcolm our journey North across the desert leads us to the outskirts of Vegas to freeside where our Target Benny is supposed to be I've been dreading this part of the journey because one slip up in Vegas one interaction and it's potentially all over for who interacts with me but but also because you know murderers frowned upon I skull through the ruins of the old world on the outskirts of New Vegas occasionally pointing my gun to the ceiling for I look up to the sky ceiling thing because that is philosophically opposed to looking down which or the your typicals out there will tell you is negative body language and we are a very positive Delivery Man a thug tries to mug me no problem I am Fearless uh but some kids are barreling down the streets towards me and I'm fearful of them because interacting with them would be game over considering they're Invincible in these games I watch one of them go through to freeside where I two must go and I make the ballsy move of following him instead of waiting for him to reemerge oh God stupid kid now this is a populated part of town very not good we'll have to travel between people so as to avoid all contact lest we Massacre absolutely everyone here fortunately for me there is so much space that going by what we've experienced so far there is absolutely no way it will end up being regarded want to get lucky head on down to the atomic Wrangler turns out we are regarded I'd forgotten that this individual is a crier and they'll interact with me from very far away I consider going about disposing of the crier from stealth so as to avoid the ey of the rest of the town and come to the silver rush for all your energy weapon needs this goes horribly I now have to handle two of them you know I had sat here and maybe considered that they hadn't interacted with us and it was maybe just they were talking broadly to everyone but but you know that that wouldn't be very sporting of us would it it wouldn't be very cash money and doing this as it would turn out is our greatest challenge to date as you can see stealth real estate is hard to come by and for some reason I'm completely visible to the entire world from behind this bus stop I like to think that it is the light of the moon in the night sky reflecting off my milky white Dome blasting the entire suburb in a bright light of course with my little peach fuzz mustache projecting an enormous bat symbol likee shape on the underside of the Vegas cloud coverage I decide to see how bad it would get if I do this out in the open atom Wrangler the answer is quite not good which is kind of funny right because there was this one time I watch these guys fire blindly at a stationary surrendered Target for a sustained period of time and they couldn't do anything had enough I was shaking in my boots had enough I had indeed had enough from around the corner invisible walls around the Street Lamp I lure Bandits to the cries but he just continues to adverti to them as he kills them come to the silver rush for all your energy weapon needs the game is mocking me I throw a stick of dynamite and hide around the corner behind the bus stop watch out I am spotted through solid objects I try again this time in third person damn he wanders around for a time and then I'm hidden success although he hadn't died and the lady had run away and then he starts to mock me stop by the silver rush and we'll give you the means I try again come he tells me to come as he is blown apart and the camera clips through the wall unfortunately this one blip behind this entire building slowly approaching spots me somehow what I realize things are going against me but this has been the best strategy that I've come up with so far so it's time for to shape up and keep trying Hey bro lasers Plasma Pistol he's still talking I'm going to have nightmares about this guy for the rest of my life I'm going to need therapy who saw me there's no one here this guy this guy just sees me through walls so I'm thinking I'm probably going to have to deal with this guy before I can actually deal with anyone else I think he's the guy who earlier just looked at me through a building I'm sorry is he omnipotent or something does he exist on a higher plane you know surely he doesn't think this is suspicious what no no no please please please found I'm not I'm not even sure why I thought that would work okay so I've extensively searched the area um and I know that definitely no one can see me so if I just throw this grenade um and then back up I I should I should be in the clear had enough who it says I'm detected who's looking at me the back of his head what do you think you're doing can you see me now can you see me now okay so I've extensively searched the area and I'm pretty sure there's no one around that can see me and if I if I place this Barrel in front of me throw the grenade and then back back up into the building behind the barrel there's there's no way there's there's there's no way and that my friends is when your buddy best gu snapped I decided that I no longer cared I was fully prepared to wear the consequences of all my actions everyone who attacked me I decided had interacted with me and it was this interaction that had doomed them all you got I even entered the king's HQ as far as I was concerned they already hated me and I needed to vent it was my not very nice man Arch I was John Wick if John Wick head was like a globe and if John Wick were terrible and if John Wick hated dogs but it all went well in the long run I loot this golf club and as I was leaving I noticed this one guy standing here facing a wall hey hey look we all deal with trauma in our own unique ways you know what I mean morning having cleared the entire suburb I equip my new found Loot and continue on deeper into Vegas you look new to freeside so here's a little advice he has sealed his fate come on fortunately the robots guarding the Vegas entrance don't seem to care about old B so I'll take it now to get through the gate in Vegas proper you need a passport or 2,000 caps I'm 99% sure I won't be doing any Quests for any passports because anyone who hands me a quest will end up painted on the surfaces behind them so I travel to good Springs where I know there's a vender where I can sell things to get 2,000 caps unfortunately he doesn't have enough to make a 2,000 caps but as his tradition I complete the transaction as required I drink from this toilet to top up my HP because I am out of stim packs again the next Defender I know of is a Novak inside Godzilla's ass famously guarded by either Boon or Manny Vargas I sell just enough to get me over 2,000 caps and I complete the transaction by schling his head all over the place he should have just not interacted with me what's his issue now small problem you can't just run past the robo guards into Vegas because the door is locked and you have to actually interact with them to pay them to 2,000 caps to unlock it this is a problem because when I send them the small grenade it has no delivery address on it so they return it to Sender in spectacular fashion I am a bad Courier I simply hide around this corner and blast them with all my grenades Go full auto suffer Grievous bodily wounds and get air stried and win anyway now it was only upon looting these Bots that I realized I didn't need to get the 2,000 caps to pay them at all they all have the Vagas key on the person and I'd received terrible information from the internet even though I was assured the Internet only had true information on it next up is the middle of town as you can see it's very busy and all we have to do is avoid contact with any NPC we come across had it partner okay this is terrible but perhaps not the worst thing in the world I know for a fact I'm not going to be able to do this from stealth because the entire game's roster is in my immediate vicinity so I do as I have done before and hope to the good Lord Todd that he shall deliver me unto Victory turns out Todd cannot deliver me onto Victory no post on Sundays after all so I take matters into my own hands take out the first securitron and make some space between myself and I think the other four or so on the strip I use the cover of some street signs and robotic corpses to confuse our mechanical friends and level up guns as for perks I see cannibal again and I consider it after all my body is crippled my health is low and I'm almost constantly low on Sims but I instead look to Rapid reload because I'll never allow myself to become as the Wasteland would have me a soulless husk devoid of dignity starved of my own Humanity never shall I allow this game this simulation to betray my moral code for what are we but vessels conduits by which we must allow the human soul to travel through to show one another and also ourselves that we are capable of more even in the face of overwhelming odds and in the harshest Wasteland we find a way to thrive our spirit unyielding We Are The Architects of our destiny sowing Beauty from The Weave of Nature and yet capable of such destruction and so as we stand at the precipice of the unknown we smile for we know that no matter what comes we will endure we are Humanity resilient and undeterred forever pushing the boundaries of possibility uh so anyway I take the cannibalism perk now hear me out I figure I could eat the Flesh of the people and Reserve stim backs for actually curing ailments like broken limbs so I can get back to doing things in the game without like my vision blurring from my projectile related brain injuries all right no worries this part of the strip is cleared but next is the new Vega strip over here we are immediately hammered with gunfire I have to say take cover behind some post boxes and as a courier this makes me sick but if I have to use the post office's resources to make my life easier then I will so be it the objective here is simply to not get schlob all over the pavement and now I am hated good I calmly shuffle my way around the NPC so that I can get to the tops Casino where Benny is without being interacted with sadly in this busy Lobby numnuts over here interact with me resulting in a delivery of lead and goods direct from dispatch can one gu be I I look upon the damage I have dispensed a massive amount of schoby the likes of which the city has never seen before I then go about restoring my health in lobby before adventuring deeper I am such a happy resourceful guy the juer position of the fleshy squatching against the spicy Casino themes rarely amalgamates into de's nuts and perhaps most amusing to me is how there are heaps of people here gambling just in the distance watching me eat corpses but you know it is what it is a man's got a hunt for dinner you know what I mean and I find him Benny that's a nice checked suit I wouldn't mind a suit like that this is it this is is the guy I'm going to talk to him and he shall regard me for I have deleted his entire py of gangsters and I'm going to give him a piece of my mind specifically the piece of my mind that he shot out of my head that one time and return it to Sender well I guess it's my brain so I reverse return it to Sender hey but he doesn't even talk to me he is just he was just hard of hearing and didn't notice the 200 or so rounds that I had to fire to execute everyone he knows and loves how anti-climatic for All Times Sake I double check some details to make sure I have the right guy by playing the audio from that Prim Deputy I accidentally obliterated with a grenade launcher oh my I think I've been spotted oh my I think I've been spotted now I am the daa gentleman in a check suit I clear the remainder of the hotel mostly for Loot and no one interacts with me in Benny's hotel room I find his pajamas and now I am wearing the pajamas instead of his checked suit sadly I walk into a room out back and get absolutely put to bed without a lullabi but at least the outfit matches the occasion I return with proper rment level up guns I restore my health by drinking from this toilet which is a safe source of water no radiation I explore the hotel and meet up with yes man he tells us that it is Benny's plan to infiltrate the Lucky 38 home to a mysterious figure called Mr House who runs the city and all the securitrons and then uploads some Mega virus Y2K something something to usurp him and take control of the city himself this is Handy for us because now I am Benny and I'm going to have the city for myself sad s l because yes man spoke to me I must Now kill him perhaps he shouldn't have spoken to me like what's the big idea a huge thank you to the patrons without you I too would have been sched a long time ago and it was with your continued support that I'm able to go full send as a corer so for that I thank you for the rest of you please like subscribe and share with some friends and most importantly be safe out there the second episode of this will be uploaded in the next uh week or so and I'll continue the challenge but until then I love you oh\n"
