Fallout: New Vegas/Fridge: Difference between revisions

* Caesar may have chosen a bull as a symbol for the Legion because of his organisation's fierce opposition to the NCR, whose symbol is a two-headed bear. If he had some knowledge of pre-war economics (which is feasable given his past as a Followers scholar), he'd be aware that a bear is associated with failure (a 'Bear market' is a time of economic decline), and a bull is associated with success ('Bull market' is a time of prosperity).

** Or, you know, because bull was the standard offering to Mars in ancient Rome.

* The entire naming convention for Big Mountain reeks of Fridge Brilliance. For starters, after the Great War it is nicknamed the Big Empty, due to its vast swath of supposedly empty land, as seen from the outside of the crater. Now, Big Mountain is also abbreviated Big Mt. Big M T. Not only that, but there is actual location in Arizona called Big Mountain. While it isn't home to any scientific labs, it is known by another name. Black Mesa. Amazing, the coincidences that make up life.

* While speaking with Dr. Mobius in ''Old World Blues'' about how to defeat the Think Tank without violence, he'll shrug (as much as he can, anyway), and suggest appealing to their humanity. He quotes: "Well, there's many things they have forgotten sitting in their bowls. Friendship. The thrill of discovery. Love. Masturbation. The usual." At first glance, this just seems like some funny line of dialogue with a [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick]] joke to it...except ''all'' of those things are ''exactly'' what you can do to talk the Think Tank down! [[Large Ham|Borous]] can recall his love and fondess for his dog, Gabe. [[The Unintelligible|8]] can be thrilled when he sees how well the Sonic Emitter he created works after it's upgraded, as well as learn a thing or two about empathy if you opt not to hack into him. And [[Covert Pervert|Dala]]...[[A Date With Rosie Palms|gets quite excited at watching you breathe]].

* Melody, the little slave girl in the fort. Considering the Legion's attitude to women, and the attitude the society they were based on had to children (Caligula's "[[Squick|little fishies]]" come to mind), the way she insists that all she does is carry food and tend to the Brahmin seems just a [[Blatant Lies|little too fast]]. Bonus points for being kept in a pen literally just down the hill from the totally-looks-the-type Caesar, and even more bonus points for there being ''zero options to help her''.

** [[Dramatic Gun Cock|I've got an]] [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|option]].

** However its implied it was just a normal inspection as he made it very clear, at the point, she doesn't ''even have the right'' to be a sex slave.

*** Could be seen as [[Even Evil Has Standards]] moment from the centurion. Slavery is ok, but he's drawing the line at paedophilia.
