Arcade Israel Gannon is a member of the Followers of the Apocalypse and possible companion in 2281.
Background
Arcade was an only child, the son of an Enclave officer, born at a military base in Navarro.[1][2] His father passed away when he was young, but the circumstances and leading to his death were never shared with him.[3][4] When the New California Republic sacked Navarro, he and his mother fled with troopers from his father's old unit.[5] The group moved south, attempting to integrate, but were still sought by the NCR and Brotherhood of Steel, requiring repetitive relocation to the fringes.[3][5]
Gannon credits the Followers of the Apocalypse for his knowledge base, including having received his medical training from the group while he lived within the NCR.[6] His drive to help people and enjoyment of learning led him to move to the New Vegas area, where communities were especially in need of assistance.[7] From his tent in Freeside's Old Mormon Fort, Arcade is currently researching alternative treatments for common illnesses and injuries, utilizing local flora such as barrel cacti.[8]
Intentionally deflecting questions about himself at first,[9][10] he will only describe in detail finding his niche in conducting research, sharing his goals of developing new ways of producing medical supplies as pre-War medical supplies are finite in number.[11][12] Shortly thereafter, he will admit that the Followers may have overextended themselves by reaching out to the individuals there, but is determined to assist where no one else would.[13] In addition, he will comment that research into his projects are slow going, but that he is enthusiastic about the possibility of his work helping people regardless.[8]
Relationships
He has remained close with the Enclave remnants who he sees as family.[14] His closest bond is with Daisy Whitman, who he describes as being "the only woman in his life" after the death of his mother.[15] He shares with the Courier that he has had many men in his life, but that "lovers make poor confidantes," instead choosing to remain close to Daisy, who never had children of her own and was always willing to listen.[15] Arcade remembers Orion Moreno's unwavering support of the Enclave, and Cannibal Johnson's disdain for it.[16][17] He will also share that Judah Kreger did his best to make Arcade feel welcome in the group, doing so out of a sense of loyalty to his late father.[18]
Arcade laments not being able to completely move past growing up without a father figure, wondering if what he had planned for him, and if those plans aligned with reality.[1][4] He makes peace with what the remnant members recount about his father's good character, sharing that although he won't attempt to fill his father's shoes, he aims to do his best to follow in his father's footsteps in terms of making a difference in the lives of others.[4][19] He feels a strong desire to repay the remnants for their support throughout his life, ultimately accepting that their path and his own were different, and that he is satisfied with having chosen the direction he did.[20][21]
Personality
Arcade is strongly averse to groups he views as fascist or imperialist, such as the New California Republic and Caesar's Legion.[22][23] Arcade feels strongly about Caesar's Legion and their potential desirous effects on the area, noting Caesar's inability to learn from the past, instead recreating it.[24][25]

Recruiting as companion
There are several ways for the Courier to recruit Arcade while speaking with him. He will agree to accompanying the player character if any of the following requirements are met:
- The Courier has a high reputation with the Followers.
- The Courier has successfully completed High Times and given Julie Farkas the needed medical supplies.
- Note that for this approach, the Courier needs to first ask, "Do you need any help?" after which Arcade will thank the Courier for their work for the Followers and a "join me" option will appear.
- The Courier can pass a Speech check of 75.
- The Courier has the Confirmed Bachelor perk.
- If the Courier has an Intelligence of 3 or lower while speaking with him, Arcade will take pity on them. Temporary Intelligence-reduction effects can be useful in this situation if the Courier cannot pass any of the other checks.
- As with Craig Boone, Arcade will refuse to join the Courier if they acquire a positive reputation with the Legion. To bypass this, the Courier can wear NCR faction armor and talk to Arcade again. It will temporarily bypass the faction check and allow Arcade to become a companion. Arcade is not affected by a negative reputation with the Followers of the Apocalypse when the Courier tries to recruit him.
Quests
- For Auld Lang Syne: After the Courier shifts the balance of power between factions and explores several locations Arcade will recall memories of his days with the Enclave. This will reunite the members of his father's old squad in order to have them render assistance in the upcoming battle at Hoover Dam.
- Beyond the Beef: The Courier can offer Arcade (or any other human companion) as a substitute main course to Mortimer for the banquet. Mortimer makes remarks about his height and his chin.
- Bitter Springs Infirmary Blues: Arcade can give Markland the specialized medical training he needs, bypassing the part of the quest that requires the retrieval of Tiny, Tiny Babies: All You Need to Know About Pediatric Medicine and Stress and the Modern Refugee: A Primer.
- Et Tumor, Brute?: The Courier has the option of selling Arcade into slavery as Caesar's personal doctor, completing the quest but losing Karma.
- ED-E My Love: When asked about which faction to send ED-E to near the end of ED-E My Love, he will unsurprisingly urge the Courier to give it to the Followers.
- That Lucky Old Sun: In HELIOS One (and after listening to Fantastic), Arcade will urge the Courier to divert power to Freeside and outer Vegas on the belief that the NCR already has power from Hoover Dam and Mr. House has resources unlike the unfortunate citizens of Freeside.
- The White Wash: If the player chooses to help Tom Anderson rather than turn him in, Arcade will be very vocal and pleased about it.
Other interactions
- When recruiting Arcade with ED-E or Rex as a companion he will make a comment on either of them.
- Wearing a Legion outfit before recruiting Gannon and trying to activate conversation with is impossible as he will refuse to talk to the player character, stating he is only willing to talk after saying "take off that ridiculous Legion uniform. It's insulting."
- When putting Nuka-Cola in Arcade's inventory, Arcade will eventually drink the Nuka-Cola leaving only empty bottles and bottle caps.
- Arcade will comment on many quest events as the player character finds or completes them, such as when Vulpes Inculta gives the player character the Mark of Caesar commenting that Vulpes is the Legion's "most notorious" spy, when being asked to plant a bug in the Lucky 38 by Emily Ortal, or activating ARCHIMEDES II.
Comments

Location | Comment |
Silver Rush | “That's a lot of energy weapons. Brings back some interesting memories.”
|
Westside, before the completion of The White Wash. | “Westside, huh? I passed through here with another Follower a while back, Anderson. The locals were having a lot of trouble getting water through.”
|
Westside, after the completion of The White Wash. | “Westside, huh? I heard about what happened with Anderson. Can't say I'm surprised. He was always a fringe operator in the Followers.”
|
Crashed vertibird | “A vertibird. Interesting. It's been a long time since I've seen one of these.”
|
The Tops, after getting the Mark of Caesar | “So Mr. House doesn't care that one of Caesar's most notorious Legion spies is walking around on the Strip. Either that or his Securitrons' AI is too primitive to recognize the threat. Neither answer is particularly comforting.”
|
Lucky 38, upon accepting The Moon Comes Over the Tower | “Oh, hello Emily. Yes, it is I, Arcade Gannon, fellow member of the Followers of the Apocalypse. Would I like to help infiltrate the Lucky 38? I'm so glad you asked...”
|
The Strip | “The Strip's not a bad place if you love terrible things and people. I'll never understand the allure of giving away your money to the rich.”
|
REPCONN headquarters, front entrance | “I've read about REPCONN. I think they did some work with the... the government before the war. Rockets and some energy weapon prototypes, I think.”
|
Camp McCarran, after talking to Thomas Hildern and leaving the OSI's section of the camp | “Hildern is a good example of 'big picture' obsession gone too far. At some point he became so fixated on large scale results that he lost the concept of 'the common good' along the way. It's an inhumane kind of public service when people and the basic resources they need become numbers in a ledger.”
|
The Fort, entrance | “Wait, wait, wait a second. What's going on? Am I playing Vergil to your Dante? I'd like to assume that we're tiptoeing into the mouth of hell out of academic curiosity, but I'm not so open-minded that I've lost my brains.”
|
Vault 22, entrance | “I'm no botanist, but I think this may not be entirely natural.”
|
Bitter Springs, entrance path | “It's a shame what happened up here. I understand arguments about the 'fog of war', but that can't be much consolation to the survivors. Or to the NCR soldiers who have to live with what they did here.”
|
Hoover Dam, near Hoover Dam visitor center | “Well, I'll be. Hoover Dam. One of the last remaining functioning wonders of the Pre-War world. I'm amazed it's still running at all. Too bad everyone's killing each other over it.”
|
Old nuclear test site | “Nuclear waste disposal. Pre-War, people figured there was so much desert in Nevada, you might as well turn it into a big dumping ground. People didn't like it, but they weren't about to give up easy access to power, not with all of the petroleum drying up.”
|
Accepting quest Three-Card Bounty | “I'm not exactly a mercenary, but taking out scumbags of this magnitude wouldn't cause me to lose any sleep.”
|
Asking him to join while having ED-E as a companion without having finished ED-E My Love | “There's something about that robot that doesn't seem... all right to me. I'm not saying we shouldn't take it with us. I'm just saying that if it were to "fall" into Lake Mead and be irreparably damaged... and if you threw an EMP grenade in after it... Well, there are worse things happening in the world, right?”

Making him quit
Arcade will get fed up with the Courier if they do or say things that he dislikes. He has an internal counter of "dislike" points that are increased by doing or saying stupid or mean things or doing things that hurt the Followers. Once he has accumulated 3 "dislike" points, he will warn the Courier that they are "acting crazy." Most of these possible "dislike" points may be obtained during The White Wash quest. At 6 points, he will leave permanently. He also tracks "like" points, but those are only used to decide if he will start the For Auld Lang Syne quest early or not.
The "dislike" points are triggered by the following statements or actions:
- Relating to The White Wash quest:
- 1 point for saying "Right. The Followers don't endorse his actions, and all that." when Arcade comments on Anderson, when visiting Westside after already having completed The White Wash without Arcade.
- 1 point for saying "They profit from crime, now I profit, too." when Arcade chastises the Courier if they finished the quest by extorting money from the Westside Co-op.
- 2 points for saying "Anderson killed White. He deserved to pay for what he did." when Arcade challenges the Courier if they finished the quest by killing Anderson.
- 1 point for saying "What's done is done." when Arcade challenges the Courier if they finished the quest by killing Anderson.
- 1 point for saying "You're assuming a motive without evidence. Please be rational." (which requires Intelligence 7), followed by "It was either this or spend the rest of his life in an NCR chain gang." when Arcade challenges the Courier, if they finished the quest by killing Anderson.
- During the first visit to The Fort with Arcade along:
- 2 points for saying "With how messed up New Vegas is, do you really think Caesar has nothing to offer?" followed by "Yes, that's exactly what I'm suggesting." when Arcade asks why they are there.
- 1 point for saying "He seemed smart to me." after meeting Caesar for the first time when Arcade is a companion.
- After speaking to Thomas Hildern (any conversation that ends with "Yes...Goodbye" or "Wrong turn?...") with Arcade (one time) he will talk about Hildern's motives.
- 1 point for saying "But in the end, doesn't it all just come down to numbers anyway?"
- 1 point for murdering non-hostile innocents. (Dislike is not raised until Arcade comments negatively.)
Arcade will leave immediately and permanently if any of the following happens:
- The Courier responds to one of his challenges with some variation of "If you don't like it, leave."
- They enter the Legate's camp in preparation to help Caesar attack Hoover Dam.
- Convincing the Remnants to support Caesar's Legion during the For Auld Lang Syne quest.
- Activating ARCHIMEDES. He will also turn hostile if the player character responds that it's "Time for the NCR to roast." (Diverting power to ARCHIMEDES II is not a problem.)
- Reporting back to Caesar after assassinating Kimball. He will leave regardless of the Courier's preparation to move on to the final mission. He will stay as long as the quest is unfinished.

Notable quotes
- "I'm no botanist, but I think this may not be entirely natural."
- "I don't think you need to worry about the specifics. Basically, expect a lot of firepower and dead bodies."
- "I'm enthusiastic about helping people, but nihil novi sub sole. (There's nothing new under the sun.)"
- "I'm really very boring. You’d get better stories out of a Freeside junkie."
- "I'm not exactly a mercenary, but taking out scumbags of this magnitude wouldn't cause me to lose any sleep."
- "Victrix causa deis placuit sed victa Catoni. (The conquering cause pleased the gods, but the conquered cause pleased Cato.)"
- "I can't comprehend how Caesar could so extensively scramble your sense of morality to make you think the Legion is a better alternative to anything."
- "No, really. Have you ever snorted a ground up Cazador venom sac? Neither have I, but I can guarantee you that a Freeside junkie has."
- "Okay. I just wanted you to confirm that I'm traveling in the company of an insane fascist. Thanks."
- "The people who live here don't deserve to be victims of your misguided attempts at political engineering. Or are they just collateral damage?"
- "'Knowledge is power,' but to what end for Henry, I have no idea. The problem was what mattered to him, not its practical impact."
- "I mean, I'm not like them. I was born at Navarro and my father served with them, but I wasn't really part of the Enclave. It seems presumptuous of me to think that I could join the fight, even if this is a cause worth fighting for. Because I know once the fighting breaks out at the Dam, all hell is going to break loose in Freeside. They're going to need every doctor they can get."
- "Great! You're either unimaginably cruel or profoundly insane!"
- "I still don't know how this is all going to shake out in the end, but at least the Enclave can atone a bit for all the damage it's done."
- "All I ask is that you put it to good use. This place has lived in the shadow of Caesar for long enough. I may not be the one to help stop him here, but you are. Fortis fortuna adiuvat. Good luck, and good bye."
- "Oh, you know. Finding alternative treatments for common illnesses and injuries. Stimpaks out of barrel cacti and other fantastic improbabilities. As far as fruitless wastes of time go, it's quite noble in its aims."
- "Hey there! Was it always your plan to sell me into slavery to Caesar, or was that just a spur of the moment thing?"
- "Why don't you make like Odysseus and get lost?"
- "Wait, wait, wait a second. What's going on? Am I playing Vergil to your Dante? I'd like to assume that we're tiptoeing into the mouth of hell out of academic curiosity, but I'm not so open-minded that I've lost my brains."
Appearances
Arcade Gannon appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
Behind the scenes
- Although never stated in-game, Joshua Sawyer has said Arcade's middle name is Israel. This is not indicative of his ethnicity but as a reflection of his struggle to remain moral in an immoral world. Joshua Sawyer's preferred interpretation of Israel is "one who struggled with god".[Non-game 2]
- He was originally set to appear in Van Buren, the canceled Fallout 3 by Black Isle Studios (see Arcade Gannon).
- Arcade Gannon was one of several player characters J.E. Sawyer used while playing a Fallout tabletop RPG developed by Chris Avellone[Non-game 3]
- Sawyer possesses a notebook of his original design for Arcade's character, created during the course of this tabletop game. During an October 2020 livestream, Sawyer revealed some content from this notebook, including the reference image used for Arcade (see gallery). In Arcade's profile, he is stated to be 34 years old and around 145 pounds. His middle name was originally "Daniel" and his father's name is Mark.[Non-game 4][Non-game 5][Non-game 6]
- When brought to The Fort, Arcade will get upset with the Courier and ask "What's going on? Am I playing Virgil to your Dante?" This is a reference to Dante's Divine Comedy.
- Arcade's worst ending directly mimics the suicide of Cato when Julius Caesar became ruler of Ancient Rome; Cato slipped over while attempting to stab himself, and was forced to disembowel himself to succeed in what he sought; Caesar was unhappy at his death.
- If questioned about the Legion's use of Latin, Arcade will respond that "Caesar can cite Cato to suit his purposes." This is a paraphrase of the line "The devil can cite scripture for his purpose," from The Merchant of Venice by Shakespeare.
Developer quotes
Arcade's endings are intended to reflect that no one is damaged more by reality than the idealist. He does his best to be practical and rational, but there is a strong idealist streak in him/the Followers in general. In some of Arcade's "best" endings (meaning, the circumstances he thought he wanted), he is still somewhat disappointed by how things turned out. In his "worst" endings, he can wind up bitterly disillusioned, brutally murdered, crucified, casually executed and discarded in a ditch, or even defiantly suicidal.
Arguably the worst ending is the one in which Arcade is given to Caesar as an enslaved doctor. The existence is so unbearable to him that he does what the historical Cato the Younger did at Utica: rather than give Caesar satisfaction, he disembowels himself. Like Cato, Arcade cannot live in a world where everything he tried to resist has come to pass.”— Joshua Sawyer FormspringArcade is an idealist, so I did not think that he would do harm in his capacity as a doctor, nor would he refuse to provide medical aid even to a mortal enemy. Yes, Arcade will follow you around and blast everything in the Mojave Wasteland with his plasma defender, but the circumstances of gameplay are different from when he’s put in the position of providing (or not) medical aid.
Arcade is not a pragmatic person, so in the circumstances where he becomes a long-term instrument of Caesar (post-endgame), he disembowels himself rather than living as a tool of evil (in his mind). His suicide is intended to mirror the death of one of the most notable idealists of the Roman Republic, Cato the Younger.
His name is also intended to reflect his idealism. At a certain point in time, the region of Arcadia became associated with an idyllic state of being, later utilized in the memento mori Et in Arcadia ego.”— Joshua Sawyer on TumblrIt is certainly possible that he read other primary sources. Based on Arcade’s education, it’s likely that the Followers of the Apocalypse had access to other Roman and Greek literature, including writings by Sallust and Lucan.
As Arcade and Caesar both know Latin, it is likely that the textbooks they used also contained snippets of Roman literature and quotes as sententiae antiquae (very common in Wheelock’s and many other books). Because the primary purpose of contemporary (i.e., 20th/21st century) Latin education is typically not conversation or writing, but comprehension of classic literature, the use of these quotes/references is common, though often without context.
E.g., a student may learn that “festina lente” means “hasten slowly,” but may not know that it came from Suetonious who was quoting Augustus who, in turn, had borrowed the adage from Greek in the first place. And even if they did learn all that, the Followers might not have access to Suetonious’ text, De vita Caesarium.”— J.E. SawyerBugs
- If you have Lily and ED-E as a companion it is possible to recruit him as a third companion. This is also true for Veronica Santangelo. It is also possible to have Rex, Raul, and Arcade at the same time.[verified]
- After dismissing Arcade as a companion to the Old Mormon Fort, he sometimes becomes un-recruitable again through dialogue. Dismiss your non-humanoid companion (ED-E or Rex) to the Lucky 38/their Home and try Arcade's dialogue again. His follower dialogue will reappear.[verified]
- After completing For Auld Lang Syne and convincing Arcade to stay in Freeside, instead of returning to Freeside he may just wander around the Lucky 38 suite unrecruitable and just becomes an information hub until all of his speech options are exhausted. This happens when Arcade is sent to the Lucky 38, then completing For Auld Lang Syne. If you don't want Arcade in the Lucky 38, send him back to the Old Mormon Fort when firing him. This may happen even if he is not fired before completing the quest.[verified]
- For Auld Lang Syne. He will not display a companion screen and will die in casual mode instead of being knocked unconscious, but will still follow the player.[verified] Sometimes he will still be recruitable after completion of
- After completing his quest For Auld Lang Syne, when you talk to him you cannot exit the conversation. In order to exit, you must reload a save.[verified]
- Gannon family Tesla armor, you can follow him out when he is getting his father's armor and then ask him to be your follower again, as many times until it works, you have to pick the option to go back to Freeside as this is the only way he will not be locked in the remnants bunker's command center.[verified] There is a way to get Arcade Gannon to still be your follower after For Auld Lang Syne. Be sure to save before you go outside as he can disappear after he gives you the
- Sometimes when you don't have any followers, you may ask him to be a follower and he will claim that there are too many people in your party already. Recruiting Rex or ED-E before asking Arcade to join will alter his response tree and get him to accept your offer to join.[verified]
- Arcade will occasionally die upon fast travel.[verified]
- While in combat, explosions may occur around Arcade, and permanently cripple his legs. Trying to use stimpaks and/or doctor's bags will not work, nor does dismissing Arcade as your companion and waiting a considerable amount of time. (After dismissing him you can watch him hobble around at the Old Mormon Fort at Freeside). A possible fix is to change his apparel and get him to attack, this should bring him out of his crippled state. He will also be unable to fast travel with the Courier. Waiting for him to catch up is a possible solution if you cannot remember where you lost him.[verified]
- Sometimes when you enter the Old Mormon Fort, Arcade may become duplicated.[verified]
- Sometimes when either non-humanoid companions are in the party when conversing with Arcade the travel together option will not display, dismissing the other companion will allow him to be recruited.[verified]
- When speaking to Arcade while he is recruited the option to tell him to follow you may not appear. This can be fixed by telling him to wait, then telling him to follow you in the companion wheel.[verified]
- Enemies turned to 'goo piles' by Arcade's plasma pistol will sometimes remain for the entire game. This can be especially annoying as it will take up more memory and possibly lead to lags in FPS.[verified]
- When Arcade returns any items the courier has given to him (due to leaving should the player activate the Archimedes, or at the end of For Auld Lang Syne), it is possible that he will not re-equip his default Followers outfit, leaving him "naked" for the remainder of the game.[verified]
- Give Arcade a pre-War bonnet to put on & the game rendering messes up. Might happen on other gaming platforms & maybe on different companions but not tested yet.[verified]
- Boone will take his Plasma Defender if both are waiting in the Lucky 38. He will use it instead of his hunting rifle, leaving Arcade unarmed. The weapons don't appear in his inventory. A way to fix this bug is by doing the companion glitch with Veronica.[verified]
- Sometimes after entering a casino and handing over your weapons, Arcade will not get his default weapon back (or any you issued him) and will attack with fists (during this glitch I could not issue him another weapon, due to the fact he would equip it and the first time he engaged in combat he would instantly deplete the condition of the weapon to 0% and drop it saying "This weapon is done for") Not sure if this problem is isolated to the Xbox360.[verified]
- GRA ranged weapons.[verified] Arcade will not use any
- Sometimes if Arcade equips a weapon that is placed into his inventory, it will vanish from his inventory after fast-traveling and he will switch back to his Plasma Defender.[verified]
- Gauss rifle may appear as though they have a full condition, but after a short battle with one or more enemies the weapon will become completely depleted with no warning except an occasional remark from Arcade about needing a new weapon. To further complicate matters, he will likely discard the depleted weapon, making it difficult or impossible to locate and repair. It is highly recommended that the courier saves the game frequently and checks his inventory often when giving Arcade any rare or named weapons. Sometimes weapons issued to Arcade such as the
- Arcade might stop following the "stay back" command. This persists on any new or old save file. There is no known fix.[verified]
