10 Things You Didn’t Know About Fallout New Vegas (DLC) (in text form)
10. Lonesome Road is inspired -at least in part- by Samuel Taylor Coleridge's “Rime of the Ancient Mariner” Part VI, stanza 11 which reads “Like one that on a lonesome road / Doth walk in fear and dread, / And having once turned round walks on, / And turns no more his head; / Because he knows a frightful fiend / Doth close behind him tread.”
9. Joshua Graham, encountered in Honest Hearts, (then referred to as the "Hanged Man") was to be a companion in Van Buren, the canceled Fallout 3 by Black Isle Studios. He was to be the first, and statistically best, companion that the player character encountered, but was also very evil and in some ways made the game extremely difficult for a character with poor negotiating skills.
8. The Toaster in Old World Blues is a reference to the character Brave Little Toaster from the Environmental Protection Agency, a cut location intended for Fallout 2, who in turn was a reference to the character from Red Dwarf named Talkie Toaster
7. Some remaining base game dialog strings for Veronica indicate that Elijah, the antagonist of Dead Money, went through a number of name changes as well as differences in his eventual fate, and was slated to appear in the main game rather than the Dead Money add-on. One set of dialog refers to a former Brotherhood elder named Abraham who was presumed dead after the retreat from HELIOS One but has "gone North, into ghoul country", while another refers to a former elder named Monte who the Courier had to either trap or kill in order to retrieve an "accelerator".
6. The Book Chute in Old World Blues is an amalgam of several concepts from the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell. The book chute concept is reminiscent of the "memory holes" present within the "Ministry of Truth" where material that contradicts the current government line are placed never to be located again. The character also makes reference to a form of torture used in later parts of the novel ("a cage that fits over your head and a bag full of mole rats.").
5. While Dog/God from Dead Money are in fact an extremely crazed nightkin with obvious split personality disorder likely given to them when the Master died in Fallout, Elijah seems to be under the impression that he is merely a normal second-generation FEV mutant (or 'Dumb-Dumbs' as Tabitha refers to them).
4. Ricky, one of the people who heads into Zion Canyon with the Happy Trails Caravan at the start of Honest Hearts, tells the player he got the nickname "Dead Eye" after shooting a "Deathjaw" in its eye. This is a reference to the Chosen One, who killed a deathclaw by shooting it in its eye.
3. The Dead Money add-on as a whole is a reference to the 1948 film The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, where two people who are down on their luck meet a prospector, and plan to prospect in the remote mountains in search of gold, dealing with fierce locals and personal greed.
2. The members of the Think Tank in Old World Blues are all references to things in science.
1. J.E. Sawyer revealed on Formspring that the story of Honest Hearts drew inspiration from the Utah War and Mountain Meadows Massacre. From Wikipedia: “The Utah War (1857–1858), also known as the Utah Expedition, Utah Campaign, Buchanan's Blunder, the Mormon War, or the Mormon Rebellion was an armed confrontation between Mormon settlers in the Utah Territory and the armed forces of the United States government.
