Lobotomite conformation in OWB? : Fallout: New Vegas

» Thu Apr 28, 2011 3:01 pm

On http://twitter.com/#!/ChrisAvellone someone asked for a hint about DLC's, and in response Chris says:

Hitting Lobotomites with my fists sounds better than lunch.

So I'm thinking this confirms those weird things we saw in the Qore vid were in fact Lobotomites.
Thoughts?
Edit: I spelled confirmation wrong, awesome.

Well, finally.
Been waiting for those bastards to be in a game since Fallout 2.
Too bad they're probably going to be the Hillfolk/Ghosts of OWB.

By the way, from the wikia:

"Lobotomites are hapless victims of medical experiments performed in the Big Empty. Reduced to savage, gibbering monsters, they are released into the neighboring areas as crude security devices. As their name suggests, they are lobotomized humans. Despite the damage to their brain, they are still strong and agile enough to fight hand-to-hand as well as wield and use firearms. Typically, they have a canvas bag with goggles and leather straps over their heads"
- Wikia Entry: http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Lobotomite_(Old_World_Blues)

Okay, where did this information come from?

No idea, but wiki's being wiki's, they could've just made it up. Wasn't there design documents on Lobotomites?

I believe it was made up without reason or something. Lobotomite was original from Fallout 2 creatures and they're cut early on.

Better link here. http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Lobotomite_%28Fallout_2%29

Further down his twitter, it says you can return to all the other DLCs beside Dead Money (which was a special case)! That's one problem off my mind!
EDIT: Whoops, already a thread about it

Now we just need the "Bos Renegade/exile" as another companion

The fallout 2 picture depicts them with firearms. But other than that it's just speculation.

Well they look fun to kill, and that's all that really matters. Isn't it?

» Thu Apr 28, 2011 10:05 pm

I better be able to use my Thompson to kill them!!!

As long as the Player doesn't get lobotomized. Seriously, that was some major squick in Point Lookout.

maybe the infamous horned kangaroo will make a return as well? (All the older fans know what I'm getting at).

"These look like Horned Kangaroo bones." No, they look like Brahmin bones.
Maybe one of them will actually be alive this time. Just so I can kill it. :flamethrower:

There are so many creatures we could encounter in OWB. Chris Avellone is in charge, so expect references to the previous games. Hopefully he retcons the Fallout Bible at least a little bit and gives us just a glimpse of "extinct" creatures.

There's really a bible on fallout? Seems a little ridiculous

Yeah, it's pretty much Chris Avellone just making stuff up because he can. It also explains some of the things from the first two games.
It's semi-canon and occasionally contradicts the games.

But if anybody can decide that the Fallout Bible is wrong, it's Chris Avellone.

Man they need to bring the Mutant Behemoth back they were fun to fight :toughninja:

» Thu Apr 28, 2011 6:12 pm

I would like some Silent Screamers
They are enemies which have sewn up mouths and dirty brown leathery skin with no eyes
I just made them up :celebration:

Thats exactly what I was thinking im like "Now wouldn't it be totally awesome if you get ambushed by them like you were supposed to and then some crazy in power armor comes sprinting over a hill with a gauss rifle or tesla cannon. :flamethrower:
