Fallout: New Vegas Headcanon: Courier 6 has Savant syndrome.

Post image

Savant syndrome is defined as an extremely rare condition in which a person with a developmental disorder or head trauma suddenly begins to express a high level of aptitude or skill in a particular skill set or ability. My theory is that the courier has this exact condition. Before getting shot by Benny he was basically a nobody. A run-of-the-mill wastelander just trying to get by. Then after getting shot in the head and entering a short coma he wakes up with newfound skills and abilities in combat, speechcraft, stealth as well as significant personality changes.

No longer focused on just survival he is focused on revenge, personal involvement in politics as well as participating in combat-related tasks that an average survivor would avoid out right. This suggests to me that that the brain trauma from taking a slug to the head awakened dormant personality traits and abilities which is indicative of someone experiencing savant syndrome.

Fallout 4 Here's a quick tip about Covenant YOU may not have known about!

Okay so you know how in Covenant there are these two traders that (depending on who you side with) have to kill when you take control? Of course by doing that you'll be losing two free traders... But what if I told you that their trading posts can still be used with no mods? With the Vault-tec Population Management System (or just the tall white Vault-tec terminal), you can assign two settlers to formally unusable trading posts.

Discussion Your go to #1 Fallout DLC (not top 3, absolute favorite)

Ive been modding Fallout 4 since the storage expansion. Ive been working on Far Harbor and can't help but feel how drawn I am to it. Aside from it being set on the coast of Maine (my state). The visual and atmospheric experience. With the beautiful and slightly haunting soundtrack. Makes the island unforgettable. And my favorite Fallout setting in the series. That's not including the great story with player choice. That was missing in the main game.

Like the title says. What DLC stands out to you the most? Id genuinely curious to know. ​

It was the most annoying part through all the playthrough. I barely care about the graphics, I just wish they will improve this aspects of the game that really show age

Throughout both pre-war and post-war technology, the Think Tank are the only ones who are the closest to having flat screen TVs/monitors

Other Fun Fact: If Fallout 5 releases after October 16, 2037, it will be closer to the canonical day the bombs dropped (in 2077) than the release of Fallout 1.

Anybody knows who he is?

He keeps grabbing things without me telling him and every time I look in his inventory to give him something he has more junk. He does that little dance, he's so proud of himself 😭

Discussion Will they ever Mention Vera or Dean on the show?

Thumbnail

17 Upvotes

Honestly the question is very simple and in my opinion I doubt it because I don't think they want to touch it for some reason even though I think it would be fine to have a reference or even a cameo because they already did make a dead money reference in season 1 and had Sinclair at the meeting table.

It would be hilarious to me if they weren't even mentioned once despite this being the easiest reference to put in since Cooper is in show business and as far as I'm aware both Vera and Dean were pretty well known at the time.

But yeah it's fine if they don't pay no mind to them I'll just let go about it.

I remember being on VRChat one time and finding a Yes Man avatar with a more humanoid look, so I wanted to draw it in my own style, because I think it's fun! I hope you all enjoy my art!

Question If you could pick any power amour by looks alone what would you choose?

10 Upvotes

You have to pick a power armor like it’s your first time playing and you don’t realize they have different stats, which do you pick? I personally pick the t-45 as it’s the face of the game and I just like it looks cool.
