Wild Wasteland Wonders! : Fallout: New Vegas

Is this trait really worth picking up and is the content you get worth it? Well, I think so. I'd like everybody who has used the trait to tell us the experiences you've encountered with it. Keep in mind this will obviously contain spoilers. I've only found a handful but there are plenty I'm not to sure about either so here we go.

- The crashed alien ship located about NE of `Brooks Tumbleweed Ranch` where you can find the Alien Blaster off one of the three aliens there.

- I'm pretty sure there are scattered dead alien bodies around the Mojave that contain ammo for the Alien Blaster.

- There is a dead skeleton in a fridge wearing a cowboy hat, reference to a Indiana Jones movie where he hides in a fridge to avoid a nuclear blast (I think lol).

- North of `Lone Wolf Radio`, there is a dead man, 4 orange balloons/balls, a camera, a cigar just put out and four aces on the table next to him. Reference to something?

- The sign that the WW trait was activated when I was at the battle of Hoover Dam and when I came across a nuke like the one from Megaton in Fallout 3 still intact and able to remove parts from it. This was located about NW of `The Devil's Throat`.

Hope I didn't take most of them but has anyone found anything else?

One time in Freeside I was mugged by a gang of old ladies with dressess and rolling pins. :intergalactic:

Johnny Five Aces, look it up.

Johnny is a nod to the character Johnny "Five Aces" from The Zybourne Clock, an abandoned game project proposed and mocked incessantly by members of the Something Awful forums. His appearance in Fallout: New Vegas is based on the original concept sketch of the character, as well as some of the concept storyline. The following is a quote the main developer of Zybourne Clock used to describe the project:

When the object enters the timestream, time begins to correct itself. Let me use this example: Imagine four balls on the edge of a cliff. Say a direct copy of the ball nearest the cliff is sent to the back of the line of balls and takes the place of the first ball. The formerly first ball becomes the second, the second becomes the third, and the fourth falls off the cliff.

I had rex start barking at me in Jacobstown and I asked him "Is there someone in a well boy?" and he did a "Yes Bark"

never did find the well, though.

He marks it on your pipboy somehow. It's called Jimmy's Well and its right in front of Harper's Shack which is near the Boomers. I personally do not care for this perk because it was a lot more underused (due to an appalling lack of random encounters) then I would have previously liked.

I often hear the music and franticaly look around for whatever it is but usaully don't see or hear anything different. I did get the crazy ladies with rolling pins though, that was funny! I've also seen the skeleton in the fridge but didn't put 2 and 2 togther for that one :rolleyes:

In Nipton, when facing the front of the town hall, turn right (I believe) and a few yards from there are 2 skeletal remains. One named "Beru" and the other "Owen".
