NMA Podcast Round 6 - Nuka World

I wish there had been more lines to tell Kreia off. I always have felt the most humorous element about her was the majority of her concerns about helping others and the Force stem from someone who pathologically obsessed with control.

Darth Jadus actually. From the imperial agent story line.

That is my main problem with the "Independent" route and players. Many of these "Independent" players hold the Independent ending as the "perfect" ending and that everything is sunshine and rainbows after that when its anything but. There is no perfect outcome for Vegas and no perfect ending but many players try to put a a black and white outlook on everything when facts in the game tell them otherwise.
Everybody knows that the Independent ending is the safety net ending. Its ambiguity probably makes it the canon ending.
Here what I think are the pros and cons of each ending:
NCR
Pros: Civilization spreads
Cons: Corruption spreads​
House
Pros: House has a treaty with NCR. A genius with tech that is advance even for pre-war standards.
Cons: House is a dick and would let everything but New Vegas rot.​
Yes Man
Pros: Freedom, Power, Riches
Cons: Made enemies with both the NCR and Caesar's Legion, people are too confused of the situation to recognize the Courier as the ruler of New Vegas, the Courier has to deal with the chaos without the Yes Man's help, the Yes Man is definitely going to outlive the Courier.​

I wouldn't say canon. I always got the feeling that New Vegas was suppose to be the last hurrah for the West Coast and that its ending is left to the player. And I hope so because I shudder to think what Bethesda would do to the West Coast and its lore.

Hmm I can speculate. The Followers of the Apocalypse are a Pre-War faction, Super Mutants are still being made at Mariposa, half the population of the West Coast is made up of Pre-War ghouls (with full head of hair), NCR are the ultimate good guys with no flaws, the Khans are mindless raiders, Tandi is still alive via Science!, the Vault Dwel-ok I'm gonna stop now this is too much.

We never had confirmation the Vault Dweller died!
 
I would light myself on fire outside of bethesda's offices in protest if they dared to touch the West Coast.
That didn't work for Tibet and it isn't going to work for you.

Bethesda seems contented to never revisit any of the locations. They would probably make it that the Followers of the Apocalypse are connected to the Children of the Atom. First, they would depict the NCR as super good guys, then unapologetic imperialists, then a mix of two that is somehow still unfaithful to its intended interpretation.
Do you think that they are going to kill off Marcus like they did with Harold?
Bethesda isn't going to have enough mods to steal ideas from for their next game.

I consider FO:NV as the end of Fallout. It neatly ties up the series to a trilogy. I'm confused with Bethesda stance on FO:NV. They sometimes intentionally leave out FO:NV but made a couple of reference to it in FO4.

Dont forget about the Sunset Sarsaparilla theme park and their secret experimental weapons division.
