My idea regarding Lonesome Road has to do with a suggestion I made a while ago that I felt that it would perhaps have been better if Lonesome Road was an alternative ending to Fallout New Vegas' main campaign, it actually taking place after the Second Battle for Hoover Dam. This decision would indicate that the player is on the NCR's side (Mr House and Yes Man endings would probably be impossible because of the destruction of the Securitron Army) The Mojave is gradually abandoned by NCR and the Legion and falls into economic decline.ĭestroying the Fort (and Caesar and his Praetorian Guard) would severally weaken the Legion (and Mr House as the bunker underneath the hill would also be destroyed).Įven with the threat of Legate Lanius behind them the Legion's second attempt at taking Hoover Dam fails and the Legion is forced to retreat, its slow disintegration starting that day. If the player chooses to destroy Hoover Dam it would basically mean the end of the game as now none of the factions/organizations can benefit from it or Lake Mead anymore. New Vegas would be severly weakened with the destruction of the Strip.ĭestroying the Strip would indicate the player either supports NCR or the Legion, both of course with some reputation loss. Wiping out the Strip with ARCHIMEDES II would eliminate the Families and Mr House (and Yes Man for that matter, eliminating both of their endings from the game. If the player wipes out this location with ARCHIMEDES II the NCR would be severly weakened to the point that there are barely any NCR soldiers left during the second battle of Hoover Dam.īasically the Legion would storm the place with ease.īy destroying Camp McCarran would indicate that the player supports the Legion, Mr House, or Yes Man. Targeting options would depend on the player having discovered these locations, and in game lore that they are tied to a powerful energy source, explaining why ARCHIMEDES II can target them from orbit. My idea with ARCHIMEDES II would have been that other than serving as a orbital laser cannon like the Hammer of Dawn from Gears of War that the weapon would actually be capable of wiping out locations from the game's map, thereby changing the ending. One set of ideas have to do with ARCHIMEDES II while the others would involve Lonesome Road and the massive nuclear launch silo at the end of that road. I was playing through FNV again when I started to think of some ideas I had for alternative endings to the game I would have loved to have implemented. Otherwise just transfer it to the Fan Fiction forum.

Technically this is fan fiction so I do hope the moderators of this forum don't mind me posting this in the Fallout New Vegas forum.
