Looks like it will be yet another awesome DLC.

That ICBM makes me worry though. I hope it isn't some option to nuke the Shady Sands or Flagstaff. Oh the flame wars that will start :ahhh:

I love the look of the Divide.

I have a feeling it might be, given how alot of things were taken from Van Buren, updated and changed for New Vegas. The end of Van Buren was to be the Core Region (NCR) gets nuked to hell.

Ulysses doesn't have any love for NCR or the Legion. He believes America is sleeping. Maybe he's the son of an Enclave or something. Point is one way to get America back on track would be to take out NCR and the Legion or one of them at least..

I guess we just have to wait and see. If I am right the forums would be pretty heated. I am sure the Mods will be ready though.

Another point could be, many people feel NCR has been given way to much power and attention in New Vegas. A way to make people happy would be to give them an option to nuke Shady Sands, something that the devs were going to do in Van Buren :ermm:

Yay, more NCR Ranger combat armour <_<


Well, the NCR got the idea for the armor from the desert rangers, and they got their armor from pre-war US Marines from the Gobi campaign, so a military version of the armor in Lonesome Road makes sense, especially considering the DLC has a "USA" theme and features other US army gear.

I predict

An optional non-canon ending with the PC nuking everything in the Mojave, like the secret ending in Dead Money
A non-avoidable battle with Ulysses after epic dialog

At 1:11 it appears that nukes are going off at Mojave Outpost and either McCarran or the Strip (or both), so maybe the option will be to eliminate the NCR or Legion presence in the Mojave rather than wipe out their capital cities. Think about it, nuking Mojave outpost would completely cut off NCR supply lines, so it's possible. :shrug:

The flame wars would be scary though, very scary... :bolt:

That would be awesome, but I can't fathom how they'd reconcile it with the existing New Vegas canon storyline.

And, although the sheer thought is utterly horrific, I do admit that I might enjoy nuking the crap out of Legion... :S

Now, if only there's an option to nuke the NCR AND the Legion! Viva la Brotherhood!

Upon further examining 1:11, it appears that it's the Strip/McCarran and the Fort getting nuked.

You figure that armored Vault 21 suit will be a crafting recipe?

I think that would be awsome especially since I made a thread about it.

It's possible that it would be like the ending of Dead Money where you let Elijah destroy the NCR, but this is unlikely due to the scene at 1:11 where you can clearly see the Fort and McCarran being nuked while your courier is standing at Canyon Wreckage (and it doesn't appear to be an ending slide either).And, although it would pretty much ruin the story line, I would like to see the NCR and Legion nuked as well. :tongue: But not the Strip, I would miss the Strip.... although it would be ironic, House saved the Strip from Nuclear annihilation during the great war only to have it destroyed by nukes 200 years later just as his plans are coming together.

Nice find on the Fort thing, I didn't realize that at first but it makes more sense than nuking Mojave outpost.

Map intersection. Standing where the camera view is, and checking other landmarks, you can guestimate the location of the explosion on the right fairly well. It's definitely close to the outpost. The other explosion in view is a little harder to proximate, mostly because of distance reference. Based on azimuth, I'd say it lays on the Wolfhorn/Searchlight/Cottonwood Cove axis and is quite distant from the camera. My guess is Searchlight.

Edit: said resection when I meant intersection. resection is when you figure your position relative to known points on a map.

Well nuking the Mojave Outpost would be so stupid, even if it is bigger lore wise. It is just an outpost where some people stay, what a waste of a nuke. McCarren would definately be better, but then that would probally destroy New Vegas so that is out of the question.
