Quick comic based on the Forecaster’s dialogue when he thinks about ‘You’, more below the cut + some details i wanted to ramble about
page 1.
- wanted to give the Forecaster’s psyker abilities some kind of representation, and ultimately landed on a snake skeleton for the vibes and symbolisms
page 2.
- trying to use this page to represent the massive, overall concept and ideas at stake in the weeks surrounding the second battle for Hoover Dam, contrasted with the small, moving parts that keep it going and ultimately shift the overall outcome
page 3.
- trying to tell something of a story posture and expression-wise with House, Kimball, and Caesar: Kimball and Caeser leaning in, invested in the game, with House leaning back and merely watching, with his cards facedown on the table instead of in his hand, as they’ve been long since memorised
- the chips form important areas in the game overtop a faint road map of the mojave on tha table. These places being Camp McCarran, the Strip, Hoover Dam, and the Fort, with the platinum chip sitting alone in the Goodsprings area
- the four handguns are the ones you get in the DLCs - Police Pistol from DM, Sonic Emitter from OWB, Light Shining in Darkness from HH, and Laser Detonator from LW
- the symbols at the bottom in the shadows represent some of the factions the Courier can ally with/help in the game (from left to right: Chairmen, Boomers, White Glove Society, Remnants, Omertas, Followers of the Apocalyse, and the Great Khans)
page 4.
- the symbols on the cards further goes into the metaphor, with the ‘hand’ the Courier is holding containing the factions who can help them in the final battle - the Mk 2. Securitrons, the Remnants, the Boomers, the Khans, the Strip
- My courier, Zihun, has a glass eye modelled after a Nightstalker, hence the reptillian eye in the last panel
page 5.
- storm clouds. augh. agonies.

I was doing some research just now, and I’d just like everybody to know that the Flamingo Hotel and Casino, which was famously owned by Bugsy Siegel, who Benny from Fallout New Vegas was partially based on, is currently owned by a company called Caesars Entertainment.

See I don’t think that Caesar is homophobic I think he just tells people “guys don’t be gay that’s profligate activities” among other things to maintain control over the legion

Cursed FNV Headcanons in no Particular Order
Legate Lanius' mask functions on cartoon logic. The eye holes move and emote based on what he's doing or feeling.
Courier Six has one foot outside of the fourth wall at all times. They can see the game UI (popups, markers, etc.), but haven't put two and two together why. At first they think the world is just Like That™, but once it's made clear that they're the only one who can see these things, they assume it's a side effect of the whole being shot in the head thing. Maybe even an effect of Old World Blues.
Ulysses has super strength. His 10 strength stat makes him as strong as, if not stronger than, most super mutants. He can grab Six by the leg and swing them around like a whirly tube with ease. If he were to slap Six as hard as he could, they'd skid across the ground leaving a ravine behind them. He can easily (and has easily) impaled them with Old Glory. None of this stops them from messing with him.
Arcade rarely drinks before traveling with Six. After a while, he finds himself slipping alcohol into his morning coffee more and more often. As much as Arcade cares for Six, traveling with them is incredibly stressful and worrying. Some of this is relieved when Ulysses joins the crew. He's intelligent, a good listener, and tends to help ground Arcade when it all starts to feel like too much. Plus, it's nice knowing you're not the only one who thinks that eyebot is bad news. They quickly become confidants.
Caesar and Joshua are aggressively divorced; interpret this how you will.
Caesar can't cook for shit. This is more in-line with a modern day AU, but he is actively banned from the kitchen. You could ask the man to boil water and it would result in a house fire. He touts himself as the "grill master" at the cookout only to burn everything and have to eat the spare meat the others pack because this happens every time.
