Fallout: New Vegas
Summary
One strange item fromFallout : New Vegascould have a multitude of implication for the franchise . Falloutis known for its kooky but forward-looking science explored across the games . These introduction often continue in the land of possibility , but campaign the boundaries of what an advanced scientific nation could come up with . The 1950s base that the enfranchisement conform to also helps to ground the advanced scientific discipline into a earth built around it .
ThoughNew Vegas ’s history and loreare the standouts from the entry , the unbodied mentality present prove to be an underrated feature . These brains are kept animated through the franchise ’s engineering and are shown to be adequate to of moving from body to body . The exact methods are never to the full explained , but it is show that as long as the nous is kept healthy , this process can be repeated forever . In that regard , Assumption can also be made that parts of these engineering help keep brain from cheapen due to historic period .
How Fallout: New Vegas' Disembodied Brains Work
A Product Of Fallout’s Wacky Science
In the questline of the popularOld World BluesDLC , the player is transported to an old science laboratory of pre - war scientists that removes their brain . These scientist are also brains dwell in simple machine looking to extend their lives and practices . The Courier is tasked with chasing after the opponent of the DLC , Dr. Morbius , to get their brain back . However , it is finally reveal thatthese scientists are keep at bay by Dr. Morbius to foreclose them from escaping into the Mojave .
Thesedisembodied brains have been one of theFalloutuniverse ’s methods of immortality , but have their flaws . The only method acting that works that has been seen so far , is the brain live in machines . This can be seen in the quest " Nothin' But A Hound Dog , " where the thespian is tasked with finding a new genius for a cyberdog , Rex . However , this situation is a piece different , since Rex ’s brain has shift .
In the DLC itself , the courier can move due to what the scientist claim to be tesla coil accepting signaling from the learning ability . Though this may be a bit of a scientific stretch , clearly something is allowing the body to move without the brain ’s presence . The scientists inOld World Bluescan control the robotics of the lab through the same methods as well as by being connected to the lab itself . This technology would need to be flesh out more in lore but does have major implication for other areas of the dealership .
How Brain Technology Could Change Fallout’s Story
The Key To Immortality
The most obvious enjoyment of this brain technology would be to give people immortality . Theoretically , as long as the genius remains sizeable , it can be moved from body to body without issue . The option would be to apply the Courier method , where a wit is send signals to a body from another placement . Both have professional and cons ; exposing the genius to different sort of hazard while still extending human life .
This method could lead to the return of preceding charactersor unexampled person from before the warfare . This has been used before with cryosleep ( Fallout 4 ’s independent charactersurvives for over 200 years in a cryopod ) , but that has been seen to have its risks as well . The brainiac method , while arguably less humane , appears safer for the recipient role . It also allow the user to be aware of what is going on around them and react to it if necessary . Overall , for those who do not like what happens to their chief consistence , encephalon technology is the superior option .
Cryosleep most lately appear in theFallouttelevision series , as a seemingly popular method for keeping Vault - Tec executives alive well after the Great War in Vault 31 .

This could also be brought into the popularFalloutlive - activeness TV show , helping fetch back fan - favoriteNew Vegascharacters into Season 2 , even if their time has passed , a difficult narrative task if the serial desire to persist exact and respectful to the source material . disregardless , this could be a major boost for the show , which looks to be steering its focus onto the deep Vault - Tec .
How Brain Technology Could Change Fallout’s Gameplay
A World Of New Gameplay Possibilities
This engineering could drastically switch the style of main characters throughout the franchise . A future biz could have the main character be one of these unbodied mental capacity that transfer different bodiesacross the game . This could be done for story reasons , or through gameplay where each body has unlike particular stats and is more useful for sure office of the biz . The one caveat to this organization would be finding the proper balance with the popular RPG mechanics .
This could also expand off ofFallout 4 ’s Synth applied science , combining the superior body functions of a Synth with the brain of a human . Thiswould essentially perfect the Synths , albeit making them more like cybernetically heighten humans than synthetic humans . This has been seen with graphic symbol like Conrad Kellogg , but even he had some remaining human portion that would eventually have vote down him . However , this new entity would practically eliminate the drawback of both origins .
A final creative option , that would push boundaries , would beusing the brainiac to control other organism . Theoretically , the Nikola Tesla coils could be put in hollowed - out bodies of compatible wasteland creatures like Deathclaws and used to remotely ascertain them . This would have major lore import , as the Enclave has already tried to control Deathclaws , but would also make for an incredibly exciting gameplay experience .

Overall , the mentality engineering first explored inNew Vegashas a ton of potential across the enfranchisement . Its great asset comes from the power to enhance both the story and gameplay of the enfranchisement . However , this technology has been slightly push to the wayside since its use inOld World Blues , so it may never go that far . Regardless , this strangeFallout : New Vegasdetail would have a major impact on the enfranchisement if utilized properly .
