y’all, if obsidian had more than 10 months to make the classic video game Fallout: New Vegas (2010), we could’ve had:
Hawaiian shirts! (Elvis wore them, don’t @ me)
plastic flamingos!
even more choices!
even more intrigue!
even more nuance!
a monthly big fight night on the New Vegas Strip complete with a Rocky/Creed questline, a silent super mutant Brock Lesnar, and a whole Oceans Eleven casino heist and said fight would be the big distraction! There’s golden boxing gloves on the casino floor of the Lucky 38, for crying out loud! There’s so many boxing gyms in the fallout series! There could’ve been a boxing gym in Freeside! The King could’ve been the host/announcer! Mr. New Vegas could do color commentary! New Vegas patrons could’ve bet on the fights! You could’a been a contendah!
“The courier could’a been a contendah!!!”
- Mr. New Vegas, probably! But we’ll never know!
Thanks (fuck you), Bethany Esda!
