Hello this is my first post to the forum and I just want to say that I love the Fallout franchies (even thought I first play fallout 3) I learn the lore throught wiki) but respect and love New vegas even more. Okay with introductions out of way before I bore all of you, After playing old world blues and start talking to Dr. Mobious (luv the guy!! FOR SCIENCE!!! @_@) he made a wizard of Oz references I got to thinking pretty hard on Vegas itself that i though i was tripping on physco myself. For examples
The Courier = Dorothy = waking to a new strange new land that they don't know (for some odd reason the courier doesn't even know the NCR at the begin as example.)
Lily losing her mind = Scarecrow lack a brain.
Tin man "heart" = Boone losing the luv of his life.
Raul lack of will ( it how I see in him until I talk some sense into him/ plus creaking bone=lack of spine see what i did there.) = The Cowardly Lion lack of courage.
Yellowed brick road = Long 15
Emerald city = New Vegas
The Good Wicth = Victor or Yes man (depend on your view if this thread made any sense)
The wicked witch of the west = the monster of the east (legate lanius)
flying monkey = the faction ur basiclly fighting against.
and of course Mr. House = Oz (one all smoke and mirror and the other the real deal, question who?)

I pretty sure there more refereces made in the game that for the life out of me that I can't think of, so this is where everyone else come in. Either come up with a connection of the two world or come up with a reasonable way to make them fit in the Oz world.
Before anyone said anything I made this thread just to have something fun to read. (hoping something hilarious to brighten up my day) :biggrin:

Welcome to the forum.

You forgot to mention all the people along the way who are the munchkins from munchkinland (Goodsprings).

compelte forgot all about the munchkin

I'd vote ED-E for the role of Toto.

or Rex?
oh and the ruby shoes could be the platinum chip?

Welcome to forums

Cheers

pfft no way, Rex doesn't even seem to follow the Courier after the game ends, only ED-E, so ED-E=Toto, makes sense.

good point.

Does anyone know a good person in Vegas that can fit the sucide munchkin. I draw a blank on that one. Plus I don't want to leave Benny out of this but I can't think anyone or anything that he can represent with.

maybe Benny is the twister that brings you into this crazy land

Suicide Munchkin?

Yeah a long time ago someone came up a myth that one of munchkin hang himself on the set when they were fliming. (Hopefully that flase)

So would that make NV an allegory to what the wizard of oz is an allegory to?
