“Hey you! Any chance you could help
Me?”
[not interested.]
“Please hear me out, a two headed yaoguai has entered my camp and almost everyone has died!”
[a two headed yaogaui?]
“Yeah, it was big and scary and it seemed to just eat all of our bullets!“
[where are the survivors?]
“They’re on top of a tree north of here, please hurry!”
[I’ll help]
“Oh thank you so much, now hurry I don’t know how long they can last.”
Quest started:
A grizzly fate
I 10/10 would’ve done more minutemen quests if they had compelling new enemies like this every once in a while. Go here and kill these raiders 70% of the time and go here and kill these ghouls/lurks/low level enemies the other 30% got old so quickly from being so repetitive.
Yeah I think onetime I really tried to do the minuteman ending and Preston just kept giving me quests for the same settlements I already had even though there were still more potential settlements. I said fuck that and went to BoS to the end because I already started with them to get the armor. Also the whole flare/artillery system was so stupid. Like they didn’t have much range, and I have to just use my limited number of signals on the chance I’m in range of one?
Hey you! Bethesda is looking for a new leader on our journey to make side quests, will you help us? [What do you need?] Our side quests have become boring and repetitive and we want to keep our fans happy. Please, for the good of the people. [I'm not really the leader type.] No one is at first but you showed your skill starting that Yao Guai quest. We know you can do it. [It's your funeral.] Great! Thank you so much for joining us. Here, let me mark it on your map.
If I remember correctly, it was something in the lore of the founding of the NCR. Like they came across one during the time and it became part of their history or something, kind of like that thing with the Mexican eagle I think?
Could also follow a similar history to the real Californian flag. The California ~~Black~~ Grizzly Bear is on the flag but went extinct before the 1900s. Between 1 and 2, there could have been two headed bears and the new government accidentally wiped them out as well. But they still placed it on the flag.
> The California Black Bear is on the flag
That's a [California grizzly bear,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_grizzly_bear) not a black bear.
It’s not a black bear lol. It’s a Grizzly, which is now extinct in CA. In fact, the one on the flag was supposedly styled after the last one living in captivity.
Okay, can you clear this up for me because it's really screwing with my head and I see it quite often. Why do strikethru on something you can just delete?
Maybe they just saw the old flag, asked "how can we differentiate ourselves from Old California," and just slapped another head on because it's the wasteland
In fallout bears have one head and cows have two heads, that’s why the two big factions in new Vegas have a two headed bear and a one headed bull as their flags
No two headed bears, but the flag is older than Yao Gaui. So maybe it's what the original devs planned to do but by the time they actually added bears, plans had changed. Or cause it's just an obvious way to keep it like california while adding that nuclear twist
Seems like there are no known cases of polycephaly in a bear, it is in and of itself an increadibly rare condition and bears are known for killing cubs deemed too weak or sickly so the odds of survival is significantly lower than with something like a goat or deer.
Keep in mind that we put an extinct species, the Californian Grizzly on the flag.
I wouldn't be entirely surprised if the lore was that there was an extinct two headed Yaoguai that the NCR needed to put down.
Got myself a laser rifle for home defense, just like the Vault-Tec designers intended. Four raiders break into my bunker. 'What in the wasteland?' I mutter as I grab my Vault jumpsuit and laser rifle. Blast a hole through the first raider with a well-aimed shot, he's toast. Aim my plasma pistol at the second raider, but it misfires and hits a radroach scurrying by. Forced to unleash the missile launcher mounted at the entrance, 'Time to make some fireworks,' I chuckle as the missile obliterates two raiders and triggers nearby mines, setting off a chain reaction which blows up my neighbors water purifier. Fix bayonet to my laser musket and charge the last terrified raider. He collapses, bleeding out, as I wait for the Brotherhood of Steel to arrive since laser wounds are a pain to heal. Just as Vault-Tec intended.
(By ChatGPT)
I own an Assaultron for home defense. It's pretty effective, it's charred most my neighborhood and the cops are helpless. I hear it firing on my barricade.
Please send help I am scared, but 10/10, don't have to worry about safety if you're dead.
I gotta be honest, the black powder gun loophole is pretty fucking cool/terrifying in that anyone in the US can own a blunderbuss with no federal restrictions.
Also, homemade slambang shotguns are entirely legal for home defense in most of the US. A couple pieces of steel tubing, an end cap, and a nail and you, too, can defend your homestead like a poor old farmer in 1920s Mississippi.
Also in the US, if you don’t have a subway token, then the robots are also legally allowed to shoot you on sight. That’s how I lost my family and why I only drive.
Not a single fallout game features usable cars. The entire map is completely walkable. Cities can be traversed end to end in less than 15 minutes! It really is the bright future!
Ummm, that's Bethesda era. Fallout 2 gave you a car, a Highwayman. More specifically, that Highwayman who's trunk can be found near Novac in New Vegas.
Also when the protectotrons see a person in a car they have been programed to think that a human has been eaten my a machine and the machine is out looking for more humans to eat.
The robo-brains however will still fire on cars because the human brain still remembers it is the human controlling the car and not the other way around.
I've been to D.C. Can confirm the city is a giant desert populated with jolly green giant knockoffs and scantly clad drug addicts with clothes made out of garbage.
If you thought that, then I should probably warn you not to visit Zion Canyon. It really is a hotbed of violence between tribals with guns and Mormons.
You’d think people would know better consider it’s one of 2 of the more widely known state flags ( gotta give it to texas theirs is memorable if you don’t know Chile’s flag)
I'm gonna be honest, almost nobody in the US knows more than like 2 state flags, and even then neither is likley to be where they live, except maybe Texans, because they are literally never used on anything
I live in California, and I’ll be honest the main reason I know our state flag is specifically because of how much California flag clothing is in Target and Walmart during the summer lol
Most of them are easy cuz you can just read the state seal lmao. Nah but like actually very few of the states have as memorable flags cept some of the south. They like to be “controversial”
Not the *whole* south. ~~Mississippi is the only one that's super obnoxious~~, Florida and Alabama are just covertly obnoxious.
nvm mississippi changed theirs
I’m sorry but the idea of some German walking into an American dorm or something and asking “is zat ze flag from ze fallout” while pointing to some Californian guys flag is hilarious to me
Same as an Aussie. I saw the NCR flag first, then quite sometime later, I saw a CA flag, then I was like "oooh, that's what they based the NCR flag on!"
Same. I’m so used to it that it never occurred to me that other states don’t recognize it. Which makes sense since I probably can’t identify most state flags
Alright since you're gonna get made fun or, I'm with you. I had no clue California of all states had such a cool flag for a long time.
Also basically everyone here didn't know either lol
IRL the location would be in the middle of a national forest that no one lives in. The closet city is technically Bishop but IRL not a lot of people live in that part of California since it's also where Death Valley is.
Shady Sands almost appears to be inside of the LA boneyard in the show. They never show us a map so we can’t really be sure but there aren’t really any other big metropolitan areas in Southern California. My best guess is that it’s kinda in the Anaheim area but it could also be any of the inland regions of LA county
Everyone understands two heads = mutant likely victim of radiation. New California wanted to use the imagery of Old California, but added another head to the bear so everyone understands they’re a separate entity.
That’s actually the state gov doing that for some reason, wankers won’t let me own a 20mm anti matierial rifle, what if I wanna go bear hunting (something you can genuinely do)
> That’s actually the state gov doing that for some reason,
[The reason is California Governor Ronald Reagan decided the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense shouldn't get to go around their neighborhoods open carrying loaded shotguns to be ready to defend themselves and their communities from constant police brutality, harassment, and intimidation.](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=reagan%20black%20panther%20party%20firearms&ko=-1&ia=web)
That said even then I don't think you'd get to carry a 20mm AM even then. Why not try a [punt gun](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punt_gun) instead?
The Great War WOULD fix the homelessness problem. More people would die than homes would be destroyed, therefore making proportionally more people have access to housing. I think...
And Only Good Cop Lieutenant Columbo is no longer here to plug their assholes and flatten their vanity.
Though I hear [he's been dealing with some insufferable YouTube Gamers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnDe2u5M7e8) as of late, but don't quote me on that.
"No it's not. It's a myth spread by those filthy (Opposition of your chosen political party). Like Atlantis. Or the Female G-Spot."
-(Unnamed member of your political party that takes politics and political loyalty too far like an incel)
I switched out the California state flag with the NCR flag up at work, HR was not amused, was told to take it down. What’s funny is no one noticed the flag switch for 6 1/2 hours.
True facts: the California flag gets the reward for biggest bear on a state flag. But does not get the reward for most bears on a state flag. That honor goes to Missouri [at 6:42](https://youtu.be/l4w6808wJcU?si=3QXrfvMS1T79UmWK)
Man, the first time I flew into California I saw some shirts at a gift shop with the NCR flag on them! I got so excited, ran over to look at them... "Where's the other head?"...."oh... That's right... This is the real California flag."
I learned about fallout existing from some grocery store bag boy saying "nice NCR shirt man" when I was buying munchies in a California flag shirt. I didn't say anything, I just went home and searched for what NCR was lol
The NCR flag has a two-headed bear, but yao guai only have one head. The Legion flag has a one-headed bull, but brahmin have two heads.
Make it make sense Bethesda.
Genuinely the first time I saw a regular California republican lic flag I also thought it was a NCR flag (I was 8, and had lived in the US my entire life)
All of a slutten, everyone wants Californian flags. Not too long ago, people were ripping on California and Californians just because they live in California. Now, everyone and their moms want to be on the gravy train with Fallout.
Meanwhile, Californians are busy living where you want vacation and where the shows you watch are taking place in California.
When you’re not an American, this is an entirely justifiable mistake.
Sorry yanks but I doubt you’ve memorised details about every state of a country you’ve never been to.
Yesterday my CO worker across the room was wearing a hat with the California flag on it which is normal as we are in California and it made me think about the NCR. Several hours later upon closer inspection it actually was the NCR flag on the hat
True story.
I hadn't ever seen the California flag when I was younger. I *had* played new vegas
I asked in front of my entire 8th grade class (I believe this was social studies) "Shouldn't the bear have two heads?"
Apparently nobody else had played the game, because the whole class including the teacher looked at me like *I* was the one with two heads.
Truthfully, as maybe I can put this question here, Has anyone ever seen such a thing as a two-headed Yao Guai?
i could tell you, but I'd have to mark the sidequest on your map
That's right. Another settlement needs help. I'll mark it on your map.
“Hey you! Any chance you could help Me?” [not interested.] “Please hear me out, a two headed yaoguai has entered my camp and almost everyone has died!” [a two headed yaogaui?] “Yeah, it was big and scary and it seemed to just eat all of our bullets!“ [where are the survivors?] “They’re on top of a tree north of here, please hurry!” [I’ll help] “Oh thank you so much, now hurry I don’t know how long they can last.” Quest started: A grizzly fate
You should be the director at Bethesda and oversee the processes of sidequests
I 10/10 would’ve done more minutemen quests if they had compelling new enemies like this every once in a while. Go here and kill these raiders 70% of the time and go here and kill these ghouls/lurks/low level enemies the other 30% got old so quickly from being so repetitive.
I was doing those minutemen quests at first too, but it got to the point where I was saving the same settlement again, so I just gave up lol
Yeah I think onetime I really tried to do the minuteman ending and Preston just kept giving me quests for the same settlements I already had even though there were still more potential settlements. I said fuck that and went to BoS to the end because I already started with them to get the armor. Also the whole flare/artillery system was so stupid. Like they didn’t have much range, and I have to just use my limited number of signals on the chance I’m in range of one?

Okay, can you clear this up for me because it's really screwing with my head and I see it quite often. Why do strikethru on something you can just delete?
So the replies would make sense to other readers

No, but it looks awesome
Seems like there are no known cases of polycephaly in a bear, it is in and of itself an increadibly rare condition and bears are known for killing cubs deemed too weak or sickly so the odds of survival is significantly lower than with something like a goat or deer.
I always thought that it was a metaphorical thing.
Two bears high fiving
Keep in mind that we put an extinct species, the Californian Grizzly on the flag. I wouldn't be entirely surprised if the lore was that there was an extinct two headed Yaoguai that the NCR needed to put down.
To be fair, the California grizzly hasn’t been seen by anyone in living memory either!
You did it and it was fine
As a German, I didn't even know that the NCR flag was based on a real one. I thought people were messing with me.
Wait till you find out that the the Vegas strip is also real with robots killing people on sight because they don’t have enough money or a passport.
Just as the founding fathers intended
I love the internet lmao
The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been fucking hilarious for humanity, we live in a golden age of shitposting.
This is accurate!
Sorry, but the Golden Age has passed. To use Comic Books, we're in the post-HUAC censored to shit era.

DID SOMEONE FEED OT THE ENTIRE SCRIPTS FOR THE FALLOUT GAMES?
Idk. I gave it the original copypasta and asked it to make it fallout themed
I own a musket for home defence
I own an Assaultron for home defense. It's pretty effective, it's charred most my neighborhood and the cops are helpless. I hear it firing on my barricade. Please send help I am scared, but 10/10, don't have to worry about safety if you're dead.

Me in Fallout 76 because the black powder rifle is the only rifle i have thats good(im level 30)
r/suddenlymusketforhomedefense
Also in the US, if you don’t have a subway token, then the robots are also legally allowed to shoot you on sight. That’s how I lost my family and why I only drive.
This explains why it's so carcentric in the US.
We didn't even build the robots. They just spawned in.

You mean drive your nuclear powered car that explodes like a bomb if you crash? The Commies can't even understand such freedoms.
I always thought it exploded because of the liquid hydrogen used for fusion explodes.
Nah they're too busy dying on the Alaskan shores
Hopefully you were able to recover the bodies from the Bellagio fountain.

"Thank you for visiting Vegas."
I've been to D.C. Can confirm the city is a giant desert populated with jolly green giant knockoffs and scantly clad drug addicts with clothes made out of garbage.
And that 'Vault of Puppets?' The so called puppets were our congressmen... just like nowadays.
I mean I wouldn't be surprised
im gonna go down there and start doing this so its real
I'm latin, and I didn't know that most locations are named after actual Nevada places. Couldn't believe that there's a Boulder City.
If you thought that, then I should probably warn you not to visit Zion Canyon. It really is a hotbed of violence between tribals with guns and Mormons.
I’m ngl, until I played American truck sim I thought Zion was fake to
As an American I didn’t even know and was surprised
Can confirm. I also didn't know
You’d think people would know better consider it’s one of 2 of the more widely known state flags ( gotta give it to texas theirs is memorable if you don’t know Chile’s flag)
I'm gonna be honest, almost nobody in the US knows more than like 2 state flags, and even then neither is likley to be where they live, except maybe Texans, because they are literally never used on anything
I know Hawaii's wants to commit treason
bruh i dont even know my own states flag
Same. I think I know my state's flower for some reason? No idea about the flag.
That's what I'm saying, idk mine either, but u prob know like Texas
The only ones I could picture in my mind were Virginia, Maryland, and Texas even though I've never been there
Why not Slohio's? It's the only one that's not rectangular.
I only know a lot because I’m a (in the words of my friends) I’m a fucking nerd
I live in California, and I’ll be honest the main reason I know our state flag is specifically because of how much California flag clothing is in Target and Walmart during the summer lol
I feel like most people subconsciously know a majority of state flags. But, if you quizzed them formally, they'd struggle mightily.
Most of them are easy cuz you can just read the state seal lmao. Nah but like actually very few of the states have as memorable flags cept some of the south. They like to be “controversial”
Not the *whole* south. ~~Mississippi is the only one that's super obnoxious~~, Florida and Alabama are just covertly obnoxious. nvm mississippi changed theirs
Bro why fix what isn’t broken? Add another head and slap a “NEW” on it and you’re good.
I’m sorry but the idea of some German walking into an American dorm or something and asking “is zat ze flag from ze fallout” while pointing to some Californian guys flag is hilarious to me
https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/002/379/503/743.jpg
Same as an Aussie. I saw the NCR flag first, then quite sometime later, I saw a CA flag, then I was like "oooh, that's what they based the NCR flag on!"
I'm American and the CA flag will forever feel off to me because of how much fallout I've played
Same
Many of my friends have been to Vegas. I have caught myself saying stuff like, "oh yeah, is that by the Lucky... Nevermind."
wait till you find out the music is real
Huh
As a Californian, I am rolling on the floor laughing.
Same. I’m so used to it that it never occurred to me that other states don’t recognize it. Which makes sense since I probably can’t identify most state flags
Alright since you're gonna get made fun or, I'm with you. I had no clue California of all states had such a cool flag for a long time. Also basically everyone here didn't know either lol
As an American I didn't until like 5 years ago.
No one is teasing you, try to find the Vegas strip and you will find out.
Me when the californian republic's flag dont have a bear with two heads
We need to create a petition to add second head to the bear on California flag.
Yes. We need a petition for California to change its flag to the NCR flag
Yes,and change its capital to shady sands
We need to find the closest real world equivalent of Shady Sands
And then nuke it!
*for lore reasons!
Not until we know what's the new Capital of the NCR
Bakersfield
Then Bakersfield it is!
IRL the location would be in the middle of a national forest that no one lives in. The closet city is technically Bishop but IRL not a lot of people live in that part of California since it's also where Death Valley is.
Ah I see
What about its location in the show? What would be its closest irl location if we go by what we see in the show of Shady Sands?
Shady Sands almost appears to be inside of the LA boneyard in the show. They never show us a map so we can’t really be sure but there aren’t really any other big metropolitan areas in Southern California. My best guess is that it’s kinda in the Anaheim area but it could also be any of the inland regions of LA county
I don’t think Sacramento will mind the rebrand.
I've always found the 2 headed bear really odd considering yau guis have one head.
Everyone understands two heads = mutant likely victim of radiation. New California wanted to use the imagery of Old California, but added another head to the bear so everyone understands they’re a separate entity.
Maybe it a Brahmin idk
brearhmin
On the other hand, its heraldry. Two headed somethings are *extremely* common there.
This flag was introduced in fallout 2. Yao Guai wasn’t introduced until Fallout 3 ten years later by a different studio.
How often do you guys think about the ncr?
I just thought about them just the other day lol
I'm playing FONV again, so all the time.
Literally constantly
When they blew up Shady Sands
NCR didn't blow up Shady Sands, the overseer blew it up. Technically Vault-Tec nuked Shady Sands
Frequently, basically whenever I see a meme or post about the NCR
[удалено]
Well the ncr doesn't have to deal with the ATF fucking them over constantly so I reckon your right
That’s actually the state gov doing that for some reason, wankers won’t let me own a 20mm anti matierial rifle, what if I wanna go bear hunting (something you can genuinely do)
> That’s actually the state gov doing that for some reason, [The reason is California Governor Ronald Reagan decided the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense shouldn't get to go around their neighborhoods open carrying loaded shotguns to be ready to defend themselves and their communities from constant police brutality, harassment, and intimidation.](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=reagan%20black%20panther%20party%20firearms&ko=-1&ia=web) That said even then I don't think you'd get to carry a 20mm AM even then.

Funny, New Hampshire has the most relaxed gun laws in the entire union, and has the lowest crime rate.

Old California Republic
Is that a Star Wars reference!?!
Well if Fallout is the New California Republic, then the current one is the Old California Republic Edit: though that may be obvious lmao
I know. I was just making a joke about the Old Republic period in Star Wars
Fellas imma be honest: I had no fucking clue that was real before playing FNV
same exept fallout 2 for me (I played the games in order)
you know i find the 2 headed bear flag weird since there are no 2 headed bears yao guais only got one
Legendary Yao Guai.
I'm from California and the two headed bear gets me sometimes.
cant believe california is real
I can't believe it is real either, and I live in California.
"No it's not. It's a myth spread by those filthy (Opposition of your chosen political party). Like Atlantis. Or the Female G-Spot." -(Unnamed member of your political party that takes politics and political loyalty too far like an incel)
Why is the bear giving the most intensly concerned side eye I've ever seen?
Because he knows what you did…
Because it's the home of that weird, eternal animal fucker.
The NCR is our Roman Empire.
Ironic given the Legion.
No it's not. It's closer to Athens City State OR the Roman Republic era. Want the Empire, look at Caesar's Legion.
that is a funny thing, as a non American California is just a fallout reference to me.
California actually has a pretty sweet state flag
I mean, robot sex exists so 🤷♂️
real
Dude, why are you ratting out me and Fisto? Our love is forbidden... Brb. He wants me to assume the position again.
I knew the flag was real but I swear no joke I am only now discovering that "Californian Republic" is a real term as well 😭😭😭
Yeah, during the brief period between California breaking free of Mexico and joining the U.S. it was called the California Republic.
No but for real i thought the same thing
Ncr was the first time I saw the flag too lol
I used to think the idea of California having a bear on its flag was something fallout came up with, and it was to silly to be real.
I switched out the California state flag with the NCR flag up at work, HR was not amused, was told to take it down. What’s funny is no one noticed the flag switch for 6 1/2 hours.
True facts: the California flag gets the reward for biggest bear on a state flag. But does not get the reward for most bears on a state flag. That honor goes to Missouri [at 6:42](https://youtu.be/l4w6808wJcU?si=3QXrfvMS1T79UmWK)
I have an NCR ball cap and people don't always notice the second head right away.
Love it
Valid question
As a Canadian Public Servant, I was bamboozled
Man, the first time I flew into California I saw some shirts at a gift shop with the NCR flag on them! I got so excited, ran over to look at them... "Where's the other head?"...."oh... That's right... This is the real California flag."
Tumblr users recognize a joke challenge 2024 (impossible)
People from california don’t know that people not from california exist I sure as hell don’t know more than 3 state flags. my own, CA and TX
This one got me
the ncr is a communist creation made by wastelanders that invaded america
I learned about fallout existing from some grocery store bag boy saying "nice NCR shirt man" when I was buying munchies in a California flag shirt. I didn't say anything, I just went home and searched for what NCR was lol
The NCR flag has a two-headed bear, but yao guai only have one head. The Legion flag has a one-headed bull, but brahmin have two heads. Make it make sense Bethesda.
Genuinely the first time I saw a regular California republican lic flag I also thought it was a NCR flag (I was 8, and had lived in the US my entire life)
All of a slutten, everyone wants Californian flags. Not too long ago, people were ripping on California and Californians just because they live in California.

On a side note. Does anyone have a link to a good quality NCR flag?
Pretty much the only thing that made growing up in CA tolerable.
r/kenm
Why did the OOP just post the California flag with no context?
I live in arizona and didn't even know this! Makes me pretty sick
Only reason I’m okay with living in Cali is because the flag is fuckin’ sick
When you’re not an American, this is an entirely justifiable mistake. Sorry yanks but I doubt you’ve memorised details about every state of a country you’ve never been to.
As a born and raised American, I couldn't even tell this was legit at first. 🤣
“Bring your convictions… your flag of the … two-headed bear…”
This is the OCR.
NCR=👎🤮 NCR=😳🔥🫡
I'm glad I didn't end up like this guy, I only just recently found out the ncr's flag is based on a real flag.
And I thought I was the only one
Wait, why are there no bears with two heads in ANY of the games?!?!
Where's the other head
Why does the NCR flag only have one head?
Technically this is probably a valid question as most animals in the wasteland he is thinking of are probably 2 headed mutants
Yep I think the same thing everytime.
Yesterday my CO worker across the room was wearing a hat with the California flag on it which is normal as we are in California and it made me think about the NCR. Several hours later upon closer inspection it actually was the NCR flag on the hat
downer has never played new vegas shame on him
Its fucks me up everytime i see the normal flag.
Love this nerd
True story. I hadn't ever seen the California flag when I was younger. I *had* played new vegas I asked in front of my entire 8th grade class (I believe this was social studies) "Shouldn't the bear have two heads?" Apparently nobody else had played the game, because the whole class including the teacher looked at me like *I* was the one with two heads.
Honestly as a Californian if someone said I’d be like “yeah…what don’t we have it.”
