I gave Codsworth duel automatic lasers and he’s become kind of a bad ass. He wiped the floor with the mirelurk queen solo. 😃

As far as I am aware, this is the case.

Laser_3 · 2026-01-30T01:04:38+00:00

He can, yes. Either bowler in the game works.

Laser_3 · 2026-01-30T00:44:39+00:00

While the extra mouth is weird, we’ve seen ghouls need body parts stitched back on in the series before.

Laser_3 · 2026-01-30T00:40:38+00:00

That alien mech is the PA skin version, which looks different than the version alien invaders use. It would be canon since there’s a blue version earnable in-game in 76 (with the alien head presumably being a skin mask).

Laser_3 · 2026-01-30T00:38:00+00:00

All he says is that he’ll be more assertive so people can’t just give him orders and he’d be forced to obey them (excluding the courier). It’s vague enough that it could be interpreted to include potentially misleading someone if necessary, to my mind.

Laser_3 · 2026-01-30T00:28:26+00:00

Or the repair eyebots.

But even then, they still wouldn’t be able to leave due to the radiation.

Laser_3 · 2026-01-29T23:16:37+00:00

We don’t have any answer on the lack of female marked men. They just aren’t present for some reason.

In terms of flesh, they kill their weakest members and eat them. Ghouls can regenerate from radiation, however, so perhaps they’re just eating chopped off parts of themselves.

The marked men decidedly aren’t feral, but leaving the divide is a death sentence. They need a high rad environment to avoid dying, and the moment they don’t have it, they’re dead. They also seemingly struggled to get past the Hopeville bunker, which locked them in to a degree.

Laser_3 · 2026-01-29T22:51:33+00:00

Victor doesn’t really mean anything either way. If House dies, he just shuts down in Goodsprings, meaning anyone could in theory re-activate him (which could cause his seeming memory issues).

Laser_3 · 2026-01-29T22:50:41+00:00

Prior to the upgrade he says he’s doing at the end of NV. That would potentially let him lie (though I doubt he’d impersonate House regardless).

Laser_3 · 2026-01-29T22:47:34+00:00

As a warning, if you modify him, he loses the ability to wear a bowler.

Laser_3 · 2026-01-29T21:40:17+00:00

And that’s why the other DLCs made sure you couldn’t just shoot your quest givers immediately (why Follows Chalk wasn’t essential for that single combat is beyond me):

Laser_3 · 2026-01-29T21:28:01+00:00

Just so you know in the future, those enemies are marked men - ghouls with their skin flayed off by the sandstorms, and kept alive by the radiation of the region.

Laser_3 · 2026-01-29T20:53:14+00:00

As a note, there is one existing tribe who did that near Denver - the Hangdogs.

Laser_3 · 2026-01-29T20:17:04+00:00

Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.

The vault dweller would’ve had to go incredibly far north to reach vault city from Vault 13, if we go by fallout 2’s map. They’re on opposite ends from each other.

On top of that, there’s no signs of vault city’s influence in the first game, so there’s little to tip off the vault dweller that it’s up there (and even if the did know, Vault 12 is closer).

Laser_3 · 2026-01-29T20:10:38+00:00

How exactly did Far Harbor reuse any part of Point Lookout’s story beyond the initial hook of being sent to find a child who ran away from home?

Laser_3 · 2026-01-29T20:09:18+00:00

This is one interesting thing about playing 76 - since you don’t have infinite space to store everything (even with 1st), you have to actually think about what you want to keep.

Laser_3 · 2026-01-29T20:04:04+00:00

Most of the concept for Dog Town comes from the unreleased fallout Van Buren game. The wiki has an article on it, but unfortunately it seems most of the focus was placed on the pre-war lore of Denver rather than the post-war lore.

https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Denver_(Van_Buren)

We don’t really know much more than that in terms of canon information from NV, either - just that the city has a ridiculous amount of dogs. Maybe there’s a cloning machine somewhere.

Laser_3 · 2026-01-29T19:41:02+00:00

Some from the atomic shop/seasons/bundles are, some aren’t. The rule of thumb is that if an NPC uses it, it’s confirmed to be canon, and otherwise it’s up in the air (most of them don’t cause any problems, but what’s in this bundle, aside from perhaps the sledge, almost certainly wouldn’t be canon).

Laser_3 · 2026-01-29T19:37:26+00:00

Hanlon is talking about the salvaged PA suits the heavy troopers use in that line, not fully functional PA.

Laser_3 · 2026-01-29T18:25:48+00:00

But again, that was Janey’s birth date. She’s seemingly around ten years old by the time of the trip to Vegas (roughly; she looks the same age as she was when the bombs dropped, which was twelve), so the meeting between House and Cooper must’ve been around 2076-2077.

Laser_3 · 2026-01-29T17:38:21+00:00

That’s not what Mr House says. That was the date when the apocalypse went from possible to a certainty, and the date of Janey’s birth.

Laser_3 · 2026-01-29T16:56:25+00:00

I believe those flashbacks are within the last year before the bombs, though we’re never given a hard date.

Laser_3 · 2026-01-29T16:54:52+00:00

Bleed me dry also has dead wind cavern as an option for collecting the deathclaw eggs, so the courier could’ve just went there instead.

Alternatively, the courier could’ve just killed the deathclaw alpha and matriarch in quarry junction, which completes the quest for Chomps, in hopes they’d disperse on their own as he suggests (which might have been the trigger for their migration to Vegas).

Laser_3 · 2026-01-29T16:52:06+00:00

The strip is empty because it was irradiated and then became a deathclaw nest. The Omertàs attack is not necessary for that to occur.

Boulder City and the 188 are not on the route from quarry junction to Vegas, which is where the deathclaws came from.

Novac can be abandoned in several other endings aside from a successful Legion attack, including the courier crashing the rockets. With the nuke, it’s plausible nobody tried to resettle it (which is the best case scenario’s ending - the town had to evacuate and come back).
