Old World Blues (add-on)

Sign in to edit

“There is an expression in the Wasteland: 'Old World Blues'. It refers to those so obsessed with the past they can't see the present, much less the future, for what it is.”— Doctor Mobius and Doctor Klein, Old World Blues

Old World Blues is the third add-on for Fallout: New Vegas, developed by Obsidian Entertainment and published by Bethesda Softworks.

Narration[]

“In the years before the Great War, Big Mountain had been the home to the brightest minds of the 21st century. Scientists of vision were drawn to the facility to tackle the greatest technological challenges of the era. They sought to create a new world, fueled by technology, for the benefit of all mankind.


Sonic emitters, space age alloys, DNA hybridization, force field particle research, Auto-Doc advances in cranial, cardiac, and trauma surgery... the hopes and dreams of a century became realities in the electronic forges of Big Mountain.

The nucleus of this research was the Dome, a huge stone facility that held the labs of every science known to man. It was a think tank where no problem could not be solved, where no question could not be answered.

The Great War brought a new energy to Big Mountain and its scientists. Although sheltered from the frontlines, the scientists waged their own war, fighting their battles at the atomic level. Equations and calculations marched endlessly across chalkboards and computer terminals toward one solution: Winning the war.

For years, the minds and computers of Big Mountain were a blaze of trajectories, weapon schematics, and nuclear theories. The problems began to outpace the solutions, first geometrically, then exponentially. As the war escalated, so did the questions.

On the night of October 23rd, 2077, the scientists received an answer that put all their questions to rest. In the aftermath, Big Mountain's silent experiments went to sleep, their creators slowly dying in the new world that had been left behind.

And the great stone in the middle of the Big Empty lay untouched, filled with countless technological wonders... Wonders that, in the end, had been answers to the wrong question.
”— Mobius, Old World Blues Intro

Synopsis[]

In Old World Blues, the Courier is abducted and experimented upon by the Think Tank, a group of pre-War scientists that have replaced their aging bodies with machines. Learning that the Think Tank has removed and subsequently lost the Courier's brain, the Courier aids the Think Tank scientists in fighting Dr. Mobius, the rogue scientist currently in possession of their missing brain. Exploring the Big MT facility, the Courier rediscovers lost technology and fights off lobotomites, robo-scorpions, and more.

Finally meeting Dr. Mobius, the Courier learns that he is not actually evil, but has messed with the Think Tank's memories and constantly threatens them in order to keep them from experimenting on the entire wasteland. By stealing the Courier's brain, Dr. Mobius was preventing the Think Tank from using the brain's unique properties to move their own brains into host bodies and escape the crater. After choosing what to do with Mobius and reacquiring their brain, the Courier returns to the Think Tank and can choose to either convince them to stay in Big MT or to kill them.

Notes[]

  • The facilities inside the Big MT crater seem to be where Father Elijah found and gathered most of his equipment prior to Dead Money, such as the bomb collars and the holorifle, although Elijah claims he invented the holorifle.[1] There is also evidence Christine Royce and Ulysses both visited Big MT around the same time as Father Elijah.[2]
  • Like all New Vegas add-ons, Old World Blues raises the level cap by 5.[3] The add-on also offers new traits (and gives you the opportunity to change your own traits if you've already chosen them) including one called Logan's Loophole that will allow you to cap your level at 30 and give you additional bonuses regarding chems.
  • Old World Blues can be difficult for low-level player characters. Before going in, the game advises that Old World Blues is recommended for Couriers of Level 15+. Some enemies in the Big Empty can offer a challenge even for a Courier at level 30+. Old World Blues enemies pose a much larger threat for Couriers at Level 40+, however, as many enemies level with the player character.
  • Equipment will not be stripped from the player character at the beginning of the add-on, and it features an open-world setting. There is also no limit to the amount of equipment that can be taken into the add-on.[4]
  • Like all New Vegas add-ons, companions cannot accompany the Courier to the new land. However, there is one temporary companion in the add-on, a cyberdog named Roxie who has her own ending if she is created.
  • There is an upgradeable housing (via completing quests), called The Sink, in the add-on,[5] complete with a few robotic appliances which have individual personalities and different voices.
  • In addition to providing free basic healing services (restoring HP, repairing limb damage, removing radiation and drug dependency), the Sink Auto-Doc allows the player character to alter their looks, hairstyle and, for one time only, their traits. If gathered, the auto-doc can also integrate implants that give permanent attributes to the player character.
  • There is a new radio station added to both the Big Empty and the Mojave. It plays 3 new jazz songs, along with 2 songs from Radio New Vegas. The song Begin Again by Vera Keyes is also heard.
  • Once the add-on is completed, the player may return to the Big Empty via the Big Mountain Transportalponder!. They cannot, however, use the item while in the inside, in a combat situation, or in Freeside, The Fort, Camp McCarran or the Strip. The player can, however, use it in Higgs Village, outside of the houses.
  • Completion of the add-on does not close off side quests that are as yet uncompleted, even if these quests have not yet begun.
  • In Ulysses' Point, the player character "gets a taste" of Ulysses by listening to holotapes left in the Big Empty. Patient log: Y-17.9 also gives a statement referring to Lonesome Road.
  • Christine Royce and Father Elijah from Dead Money are also involved in Old World Blues, although they do not appear in the add-on. There are holotapes of Christine speaking, along with her weapon and her armor. Father Elijah's weapons can also be found in his hideout, Elijah's Watch, along with his notes compiled while in Big MT.
  • If you play Christine's holotapes in front of her during the Dead Money add-on, she will not take any notice.
  • The Sierra Madre poster can be seen in Big MT.
  • The Courier's brain, spine, and heart are removed by the scientists and held as leverage. At the beginning of the add-on, the spine and heart can be found in The Sink, and after completing the main questline, the brain is placed among them.
  • The sound from the speakers in Dead Money can also be heard at the end of the trailer and from the speakers in the Little Yangtze prison camp.
  • Some areas contain hanging dolls on a string like in the X-13 research facility. These are the same as the swamp totems in the Fallout 3 add-on, Point Lookout.
  • Unlike Dead Money or Honest Hearts, all achievements or trophies can be earned in one playthrough without replaying.
  • When in Hardcore mode, the sleep meter stays at zero unless the Courier sleeps. There may be a delay before the sleep meter starts.

Behind the scenes[]

  • The Big Empty was a location that was scrapped from Black Isle's canceled Fallout 3 (Van Buren).
  • At one point prior to release, Chris Avellone set his location on his Twitter profile to "Big MT, Mojave," placing the Big Empty as a location within the Mojave Wasteland and thus teasing its possible appearance in a future Fallout: New Vegas add-on.
  • According to Joshua Sawyer, Old World Blues was born out of Chris Avellone's desire to make a "humor-oriented" DLC where one of the main objectives was to make the players laugh.[6]
  • The add-on contains many homages to the science fiction B-movies of the 1950s. There are many references to these types of movies throughout the add-on, and both Dr. Mobius and Dr. 0 mention them directly.
  • Old World Blues was nominated for Best DLC Award at the 2011 Spike Video Game Awards. It was the only one of the Fallout: New Vegas add-ons to be nominated.
  • The add-on's main quest shares many similarities with the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz in that the Courier searches for their brain (Scarecrow), their heart (The Tin Man) and their spine (courage for the Lion) after initially being unconscious after entering Big Mountain (as Dorothy was knocked unconscious in order to enter Oz). Additionally, Dr. Mobius is initially portrayed to be malevolent or sinister, much like the Wizard of Oz himself, only to have it revealed that he is quite misunderstood. The Big Mountain Transportalponder! acts as the Ruby Slippers, taking the Courier back home. Dr. Mobius mentions this subtly, though he refers to the three main characters of the film as a "band of murderous thugs."
  • Several concepts from Old World Blues such as the proton axe and the robo-scorpion are inspired by Wasteland, the 1980s game which is considered to be Fallout's predecessor.
  • Several elements from the Environmental Protection Agency were later recycled in Fallout: New Vegas via the Old World Blues add-on.
    • Holograms were to be found at the EPA, functioning as custodians of the facility and as tour guides prior to the Great War. Five of these holograms were to be the division heads of the agency and could be spoken to. Though hologram technology made occasional appearances in games after Fallout 2 as world objects, it was not until the release of Dead Money and Old World Blues that holograms would appear in a major role. Holograms—both static and moving—appear throughout the Sierra Madre Villa and the Casino, some serving as merchants and others as security. A single moving one can also be found at the Z-38 lightwave dynamics research facility.
    • An event known as the "Great Static" would have warped the duties of the existing holograms of the EPA. In Old World Blues, the event is referenced in name by Doctor Borous, Dala and Klein.[7][8][9]
      • In Fallout Bible 0, the Great Static occurred in 2077 and led to the loss of many records.[Non-game 1] In Van Buren, the ZAX unit of Boulder Dome would have mentioned the "great Static" and how it followed the aftermath of the Great War. The event resulted in the AI forgetting data and struggling to remember things.[Non-canon 1]
    • The division heads of the EPA are stuck in a memory loop due to a powerful magnetic field. In Old World Blues, each member of Think Tank was reprogrammed into a recursion loop by Doctor Mobius to prevent his colleagues from experimenting on the Mojave Wasteland. Mobius also reprogrammed them, and himself, with new names to strengthen the loop, each one relating to an actual loop, such as 0 (infinitely looping symbol), 8 (symbol for infinity when placed sideways), Klein (from klein bottle), Borous (from ouroboros) and Dala (from mandala).
      • Excluding Doctor Mobius, the Think Tank consists of five members. The EPA division heads were also made up of five members.
    • Hologram 00000 can only communicate in binary due to an electrical short that damaged his vocal abilities. With high enough Science of Intelligence, the player could have understood him and subsequently fixed the damage. In Old World Blues, Doctor 8's voice module was damaged after an attack and as a result, can only speak in the RobCo termlink protocol. When spoken, this amounts to electronic screeching that is subtitled with symbols, such as "!@#$%*" etc. With high enough Perception or Intelligence, the player can notice this fact and converse with him, though his speech can only be ascertained from the player prompts; his text remains unaltered and his voice module cannot be repaired.
    • The Brave Little Toaster was a sentient kitchen appliance that could be found in the abandoned kitchens of the EPA. Speaking to it would amount to one-sided conversations that would devolve into the toaster asking if the player would like to toast bread of waffles. In Old World Blues, another sentient appliance can be found simply named Toaster, who is obsessed with destroying the world in nuclear fire.
    • Hibernation cells were found at the lower levels of the EPA. In Dead Money, Father Elijah mentions that Big MT had treasures of technology, including hibernation chambers in his list. Though they are mentioned to exist at Big MT, none can be found at the facility in Old World Blues.

President Richardson was familiar with the purpose of the Vaults, but he never saw them as more than little test tubes of preserved humans he could mess with."
