New Vegas Cut content

On youtube there is a series going through all the cut content and interviewing people who worked on the games I found it interesting so here it is.

Daniel was originally supposed to be Asian to avoid the "white savior" trope, according to J.E. Sawyer. There's a lore fix for Honest Hearts that fixes this.

"As a minor point, Daniel was specifically supposed to be (and was, in data, for most of development) Asian. I don’t know when, how, or why he was switched to Caucasian, but that’s how he shipped.

It’s frustrating, because those changes slot Joshua and Daniel as white guys among (mostly) brown folk when 1) they weren’t supposed to be white guys and 2) the tribes were specifically called out as ethnically and culturally mixed without any real-world analogues."

Recently, I noticed on the Steam store page for Fallout: New Vegas that there is an image that appears to have FO3 super mutants in it rather than Mariposa ones. This seems to suggest that the dark green texture was given to super mutants pretty late in development.

There are also screenshots of a Nightkin that appears to have a different texture than the one present in the final product.
